Ultimate Village Doctor

Chapter One Hundred Thirty-Eight

At that moment, a sense of darkness surged from the bottom of Long Xiaoshan's heart.

Shen Tianhao had caused him to become a prisoner kneeling at another's feet.

In Lingxi Prison, he had suffered immensely, and many times he had nearly been killed by others.

All of this had been brought upon him by Shen Tianhao.

Shen Family!

A glint of cold light flashed in Long Xiaoshan's eyes. He was not one to forget a grudge, and sooner or later, he would settle this score with Shen Tianhao.

He also felt a full measure of loathing for the Shen Family.

Without the Shen Family's protection and indulgence, could Shen Tianhao have acted so recklessly?

The men of the Shen Family harmed me.

I shall use a woman of the Shen Family to repay the debt.

A thought of revenge emerged in Long Xiaoshan's mind. True Qi surged in his hand, as he planned to execute a technique.

With his ability, he could certainly make Shen Yuerong fall into a trap without anyone noticing.

He could completely subjugate this woman beneath him and even train her to become a servant-like existence to him.

"Do you know why I came here?" Shen Yuerong's tone sounded somewhat melancholic.

"Ah, is... how did you come to this place?" Long Xiaoshan instinctively asked.

It was indeed strange.

With the Shen Family's vast connections, Shen Yuerong had ended up in this desolate place to become the village chief.

With her status, she could have gone to much better places.

"My family was forcing me into an arranged marriage, which I was unwilling to accept. Because of my strong opposition, I nearly threatened with death before my family finally agreed to a bet with me. As long as I can prove myself within two years without relying on my family's influence, they would let me be free. But I never expected that, while outwardly appearing fair, they would set me up in such a remote and impoverished area, obviously wanting me to fail the bet and conform to the family's arrangements..." Shen Yuerong said with a tone of heartache.

Suddenly, a drop of coldness fell on Long Xiaoshan's neck.

Long Xiaoshan's heart tightened.

It turned out that Sister Shen, who always seemed so proud and strong, had such a fragile side in her heart.

The True Qi he had originally wanted to release paused.

He suddenly felt that he was not being a man.

What did this have to do with Sister Shen?

He had been harmed by the men of the Shen Family, yet he sought revenge on a woman of the Shen Family.

It was simply despicable.

Long Xiaoshan truly wanted to slap himself twice, realizing that he had not yet escaped the influence of the prison.

It was completely like developing a demon in his heart.

This would not do.

Long Xiaoshan took a deep breath, feeling Shen Yuerong's sense of helplessness and sorrow. He suddenly felt a great deal of pity for her. Sister Shen might appear noble and envied by outsiders, but she also had her own difficulties.

He said resolutely, "Sister Shen, I will help you. You need political achievements, right? I will help you, so you can be free from your family's control."

Shen Yuerong's heart trembled.

She was alone and unsupported in the outside world.

Because of the Shen Family's warnings, even the so-called friends she had in the Capital City had distanced themselves from her; no one dared to risk offending the Shen Family by helping her.

To think that, in this rural place,

There was a small farmer who was willing to say so resolutely, "I will help you."

He must understand, if he helped Shen Yuerong, it would mean opposing the Shen Family.

"Xiaoshan, are you not afraid of offending the Shen Family?" Shen Yuerong asked softly.

Long Xiaoshan smiled indifferently and said, "I only know that Sister Shen, you are my friend. For a friend, what is it to be an enemy of the whole world?"

Shen Yuerong felt a jolt in her heart.

The ice within her cracked apart like it had been struck by a hammer.

"Xiaoshan!"

She murmured softly, her arm tightening around Long Xiaoshan's neck.

"Sister Shen, what were you saying about Spirit Practitioners in the cave just now? Why did you call that old Taoist a Spirit Practitioner?" Long Xiaoshan asked curiously.

"Actually, I'm not very clear on it myself. Before I left Yanjing, my mom got something for me from a Master Liaokong at Jueyun Temple in the Capital City. My mom mentioned that Master Liaokong is a Spirit Practitioner who can create Magic Artifacts and cast spells to heal illnesses. Master Liaokong is quite famous. He is a guest in many major families in the Capital City. Even my grandfather holds him in high respect," Shen Yuerong explained.

"Oh, he can create Magic Artifacts and cast spells to cure illnesses; that means he's a cultivator."

Long Xiaoshan now understood that the "The Art of Immortality" Elder Chang gave him was extraordinary.

And that Taoist from Black Scale Gate also called him a Spirit Practitioner.

Could Elder Chang be a Spirit Practitioner too?

What's the difference between Spirit Practitioners and Martial Artists?

Last time he saved Gu Jingheng, a man in a mandarin jacket also called him a Huang Level Martial Artist.

It's so confusing.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Forget it, I'll ask the Ghost General next time; he should know a lot more.

Long Xiaoshan was not slow, but in these deep mountains and forests, carrying a person on his back and constantly on the lookout for snakes and beasts, even he became increasingly exhausted from the journey, despite having True Qi.

Sweat was pouring out from his body.

Perhaps it was from the fear and anxiety over the past two days, but Shen Yuerong, lying on Long Xiaoshan's back, actually fell asleep, feeling secure.

Around one o'clock in the morning, Long Xiaoshan finally carried Shen Yuerong out of Nine Peaks Mountain.

"Sister Shen?"

Long Xiaoshan arrived by the car and woke her up.

Shen Yuerong came to, saw the car, and rubbed her eyes, saying, "We're down the mountain."

"Mm."

Long Xiaoshan put Shen Yuerong down.

He felt uncomfortable with wet clothes sticking to his body.

Shen Yuerong's face flushed with heat.

It was embarrassingly wet.

How could her clothes be this wet?

Wait.

Suddenly, she thought of something.

She smelled the strong scent of a man's sweat on her clothes.

Looking at Long Xiaoshan wringing out his clothes as if he had just washed them, a twist would see large amounts of water gush out.

She looked at her watch and it was already one in the morning.

She remembered it was just past eight when they left the cave.

In other words, Long Xiaoshan had carried her in the mountains for five hours. Although she wasn't very heavy, she weighed over a hundred pounds. To carry a person on flat ground for five hours was exhausting enough, let alone through such rugged and steep terrain.

She must have been crazy to have fallen asleep.

Originally, she had intended to walk by herself as soon as they reached a flatter part of the mid-mountain slope.

But why didn't Long Xiaoshan say anything about it?

This fool.

Shen Yuerong's eyes blurred.

After Long Xiaoshan finished wringing his clothes and dried them with his True Qi, he turned back and handed the clothes to Shen Yuerong, saying, "Sister Shen, you should use my clothes to cover..."

Seeing the tears in Shen Yuerong's eyes as she stared blankly at him, Long Xiaoshan quickly asked, "Sister Shen, what's wrong?"

Suddenly, Shen Yuerong threw herself into Long Xiaoshan's arms.
