Chapter 46 Surprise
Qiao Suluo was momentarily dazed. If Yue Hanzheng died, her mission would fail.

Will this beast-world continent be wiped out?
Just as Qiao Suluo was lost in thought, Que Hongjin reached out and gently embraced her, lowering his head and saying softly, "My lady, I'm here."

Just a few simple words calmed Qiao Suluo down.

Qiao Suluo looked at Steward Lin and asked directly, "Where is he?"

"In the backyard pharmacy."

Qiao Suluo said with a focused expression, "Please trouble Steward Lin to take us there."

She had no idea where the medicine room was, and the layout of the outer valley residences in Medicine King Valley was also intricate and complicated; she didn't want to get lost and waste time.

Manager Lin frowned impatiently and said, "I have other things to do. You can go find them yourselves."

He was about to die, so naturally he wouldn't waste his time.

With that, Steward Lin turned and was about to leave.

Just then, Que Hongjin stepped forward and stopped Steward Lin, looking at him with a chilling glint in her eyes, "Lead the way."

When Steward Lin met Que Hongjin's eyes, he instinctively shuddered, and then involuntarily led them to the medicine room in the backyard.

Qiao Suluo then realized how small the medicine room was; it was about the size of a woodshed.

Qiao Suluo couldn't even imagine how Yue Hanzheng had survived all this time.

When she went inside, she found Yue Hanzheng lying unconscious on the ground.

His hair was as black as ink, his skin as white as snow, his brow bones like mountain ridges carved by winter snow, his cheeks as sharp as if carved by a knife, his appearance was cold and aloof, and his temperament was cold. At this moment, he lay there quietly, with a sense of broken and tragic beauty.

This was just like Yue Hanzheng in her dream. She quickly stepped forward and gently touched his nose. He was still breathing, but very weakly.

Qiao Suluo mentally communicated with the system: "System, what should I do? How can I save him?"

The system said, "Host, first feed him the life-saving pills from the medicine box. This will preserve his heart meridian and allow him to live."

"Once the host awakens his divine healing abilities, he can be cured."

Upon hearing these words, Qiao Suluo thought of using her mind to feed the pill to Yue Hanzheng first.

The system quickly stopped her, saying, "Host, you can't give medicine here. Don't let the people from Medicine King Valley find out anything."

"Let's take him back first."

Qiao Suluo said anxiously, "But what if he dies?"

With Yue Hanzheng in this state, Qiao Suluo was really worried that if she moved him, he might accidentally stop breathing.

"It's alright, he's still alive. The villains in this world are very resilient and don't die so easily."

Qiao Suluo breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. She looked at Steward Lin and said, "Steward Lin, if I'm taking him back, please return his indenture as well."

Manager Lin scoffed, “Miss Qiao, you were the one who sold him to us. We paid fifty taels of silver to buy his life and death. He has nothing to do with you anymore.”

"I only allowed you to take the person back to handle the aftermath out of great mercy, and you still dare to ask for a contract of indenture."

Qiao Suluo's expression was cold and stern, and a sarcastic smile appeared on her lips. "That's not what you said back then, Manager Lin."

"You said the poison in Yue Hanzheng's body is quite unique. Why don't you take him back to Medicine King Valley to study it? Maybe you can cure his body and his leg."

According to her predecessor's memories, she remembered that Manager Lin and the others deliberately tricked her into selling Yue Hanzheng for fifty taels of silver.

If the original owner had known that Yue Hanzheng was going to be treated as a medicine man, he would definitely have demanded an exorbitant amount of money.

But she could use those words to argue with Manager Lin.

"No matter what, Yue Hanzheng was once the heir of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion. Although the Duke of Dingguo's mansion doesn't care about his life or death at the moment, the people of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion care about their reputation the most. If I were to risk my reputation and go to the capital to talk about this matter, even if you are from Medicine King Valley, the Duke of Dingguo would still demand an explanation, wouldn't he?"

Qiao Suluo understood what Manager Lin was worried about and afraid of, so she used that as an excuse.

Manager Lin's expression changed several times before he finally produced Yue Hanzheng's indenture.

He said unwillingly, "No matter what, we spent fifty taels of silver back then. Now you want to take the indenture for nothing? That's unreasonable."

Qiao Suluo said indifferently, "Fine, I'll buy it back for one tael of silver." Manager Lin said, "One tael of silver won't do."

As she spoke, Qiao Suluo turned and walked out, looking decisive and elegant. "In that case, I won't bother with that."

"As you know, Steward Lin, I am not a good person. The reason I asked for his indenture to handle his funeral arrangements was simply to prevent the Duke of Dingguo's mansion from causing trouble in the future."

"Since Manager Lin is willing to handle it, that's great."

When Steward Lin saw this scene, his heart skipped a beat. He was just an outer steward, and he was afraid that the people from the Duke of Dingguo's mansion would think of Yue Hanzheng and actually come looking for him.

Whether he can save his life at that time is another matter.

"Miss Qiao, please wait, please wait. One tael of silver is fine."

Qiao Suluo turned her head and looked at Manager Lin with indifferent eyes. Finally, with a reluctant expression, she paid one or two taels of silver for Yue Hanzheng's indenture.

She looked closely and found no problems, secretly relieved, though she didn't show it on her face.

The reason for using one or two taels of silver to buy Yue Hanzheng's indenture was to prevent Manager Lin from bringing this up later.

This completely solved the problem.

Que Hongjin watched from beginning to end, intending to help if needed.

Little did he know that his wife was even more intelligent than he had imagined.

After that, Qiao Suluo took the unconscious Yue Hanzheng away.

The oxcart slowly drove out, and after it had traveled some distance from Medicine King Valley, Qiao Suluo quickly took out some pills and fed them to Yue Hanzheng.

Saving his life is the most important thing.

Que Hongjin saw Qiao Suluo's movements, and her beautiful eyebrows twitched slightly.

Although he knew she had a secret, he was still somewhat surprised to see her take out a strange pill and feed it to Yue Hanzheng.

I don't know where this elixir came from.

It reminded him of the medicine she had applied to his body that night; it was just as miraculous, able to quickly stop bleeding and heal wounds, though he didn't know where it came from.

After feeding Yue Hanzheng the pill, Qiao Suluo carefully checked his breathing with her hand. She felt that his breathing had become steady, so she knew that he had pulled through and was no longer in danger.

"My lady, where are we going now?"

Qiao Suluo said with a focused expression, "Let's go to the county clinic instead."

She wanted to find a doctor to check Yue Hanzheng's physical condition first.

At this moment, Qiao Suluo desperately wanted to possess the ability of a divine healer.

However, when turning towards the county clinic, one has to go through a mountain path from Yaowang Valley.

This path is closer.

After walking for a short while, the system excitedly announced: "Host, there is a rare wild medicinal herb 300 meters to the left front, worth 3,000 points."

Qiao Suluo's heart skipped a beat, "Three thousand points?"

She knew that the Space Mall really liked wild items, especially wild medicinal herbs, which sold for a high number of points in the mall.

"Hongjin, walk that way."

Hearing Qiao Suluo's slightly excited tone, Que Hongjin didn't ask why, but simply said gently, "Okay."

When they got to that area, Qiao Suluo told Que Hongjin to stop the oxcart, and she jumped off the oxcart.

Seeing Qiao Suluo's actions, Que Hongjin's heart jumped. "My lady, be careful."

Seeing her skipping and hopping towards that direction, he sighed helplessly, rubbing his temples. He really couldn't do anything about her.
