Chapter 84 Pregnant Woman!

The other people in the restaurant were frightened away when they saw how skilled the young woman was. Even the waiter didn't dare to stop her and quickly ran upstairs to avoid trouble.

"?"

Is there something suspicious about this Yin-Yang School's identity?

The beautiful young woman stared intently at the alchemy furnace in Xiang Yu's hand, looking determined to obtain it.

Xiang Yu secretly realized something was wrong; he had been careless. He hadn't expected that the alchemy furnace, besides serving to reveal his identity, would have such a side effect.

So Xiang Yu directly put the alchemy furnace into the system space. This alchemy furnace was obtained from a system task and is one of the few items that Xiang Yu can put into the system space.

The woman was at loggerheads, and after a moment's thought, Xu Yunhan silently stood up and said, "May I ask what grudge you two have?"

"No," they both said in unison.

"No, if we have no grudges, why are you giving me that look that says you want to kill me?" Xiang Yu retorted directly.

If the opponent is truly skilled, and you can persuade them with words, then absolutely do not resort to violence.

"Who wants to kill you? I just want what you have—" The woman beckoned with her hand. "Boy, come here!"

Xiang Yu felt a powerful force surge up from the soles of his feet, as if an invisible rope had wrapped around his ankles, trying to pull him away. In a flash, he stomped his feet, the wolf-like creature embedding itself into the wooden floor, scattering wood chips everywhere, forcefully pinning the suction force to the spot.

The two forces clashed in mid-air, neither able to gain the upper hand.

The two remained locked in a stalemate. Xu Yunhan looked left and right, feeling that he had been disappointed no matter what he said, and it was time to speak up for them.

"Ah—Miss, since there's no grudge, why make things so tense? As the sage said, a gentleman seeks harmony while maintaining differences—"

""

"Shut up."

"Okay."

The woman's two words made his throat tighten, and Xu Yunhan didn't even dare to have a thought of resistance before he sat back down.

"So what do you mean? What do you want from me?" Xiang Yu glanced at the distance between the two, which was only about three meters. The distance was too long to throw a punch, and too short to throw a throwing knife.

However, he had no choice but to try anything now. Xiang Yu took the throwing knife out of his sleeve. If the other party suddenly attacked, he would just give them a blow.

"Time is of the essence, and I don't want to waste it." The woman in black spoke loudly, but upon closer listening, her voice sounded somewhat weak. "I need your Yin-Yang School's life-saving pills."

"Since they need our help, why are they pressing us so hard?" Xiang Yu thought the other party had lost their mind.

"It's alright. Strange things are rampant in the capital lately, so everyone has some kind of life-saving measure," the woman in black said coldly. "This life-sustaining pill allows a person to retain a breath before death. Every member of the Yin-Yang School carries a few on them in case of unforeseen circumstances—hand over the pills quickly, and I'll spare your life!"

"But what if I don't know how to make this life-saving pill?" Xiang Yu started to argue stubbornly.

"Heh, your alchemy furnace is clearly the furnace of a single disciple of the Yin-Yang School—and as there's only one disciple per generation, and each single disciple is personally taught by the leader of the Yin-Yang School, how could they not know how to refine the Life-Sustaining Pill?" The woman in black scoffed at Xiang Yu's lies. "I can even guess who your master is. The current head of the Yin-Yang School, Zhang Bugui, right?"

"."

'

Who the hell is Zhang Bugui?!

Is the stove in your own hands really that important?

Wait a minute, thinking about it carefully, it really makes sense. This thing was dug out of Maoling, which means that the alchemy furnace was used by Emperor Wu of Han.

It's certainly not wrong for someone to have such a high position.

We need to sort things out; the situation is a bit chaotic right now.

Xiang Yu then tentatively asked, "Then, miss, may I ask who you are?"

"Me? You don't need to know my name. Quickly hand over the pills!"

The woman in black was clearly very anxious, as if she would die without the life-saving pill.

Wait, what if the other party really dies without the elixir?

"Oh dear, young lady, the Yin-Yang School's elixirs can only provide temporary relief; they don't cure the root cause. If you have any serious illnesses, it would be more appropriate to consult a physician—" Xu Yunhan interjected again, trying to smooth things over.

This time, the woman in black couldn't take it anymore and glared at Xu Yunhan, who shuddered.

"A doctor—if a doctor were effective, I wouldn't need to come to you." The woman in black approached again. "Boy, you have two choices now: give it or not."

"Here you go, I'll take the things and leave. From now on, we'll go our separate ways."

"If you don't give it to me, I'll kill you and then search your corpse. If you really have it, I'll get it sooner or later."

Upon hearing the other party's harsh words, Xiang Yu had an idea. He suddenly said, "What the young lady says is true, and I have no choice but to obey. But my elixir is with this good brother. In order to prevent any petty thieves from trying to steal the elixir because I am a descendant of the Yin-Yang School, I have no choice but to take this drastic measure."

"Then take it quickly!" the woman in black commanded.

Xiang Yu took a few steps closer to Xu Yunhan. Under the other's bewildered and terrified gaze, he deftly slipped his hand down Xu Yunhan's collar and into his arms.

Then I started rubbing the other person's stomach and lower back.

People in ancient times probably didn't bathe frequently, especially since the other person was a poor man who would definitely have a lot of mud on him.

Just like Ji Gong, make a mud ball to fool them first —

But as Xiang Yu rubbed himself, he realized something was wrong. Why was the other person so clean?

I've practically rubbed the other person's entire body, but there's still nothing there.

"—Hiss." Xiang Yu rubbed his hands together frantically, squeezing out the sound through gritted teeth, "Where's the medicine?"

"How should I know?! What are you doing?!" Xu Yunhan exclaimed in horror.

He used his frustration more and more intensely. Back in the day, he asked the bathhouse attendant if he hadn't eaten, and the attendant responded with about the same amount of scrubbing force.

But this guy's pectoral muscles are a bit too well-developed, aren't they? How come they look so... massive when you rub them? It's like kneading a lump of water.

"Ha, don't make fun of me." The woman in black felt that Xiang Yu was playing a trick on her, so she clenched her fist and lunged forward.

Xiang Yu, feeling helpless, pulled his hand out of Xu Yunhan's collar and said resignedly, "Unfortunately, I don't seem to have found it—"

"but----"

With a flick of his wrist, Xiang Yu sent a throwing knife flying through the air, aiming straight for the woman in black!

The woman was startled by the sudden attack and instinctively retreated, raising one hand to protect her throat, but she miscalculated.

Xiang Yu's stab wasn't aimed at his throat or heart at all.

The blade grazed her hand that was protecting her neck and plunged straight into her lower abdomen.

The woman's face paled. She had protected the wrong spot, and it was too late to dodge. She could only leap up abruptly. In that instant, her speed increased several times over, as if she were being carried by the wind, and she soared straight onto the crossbeam of the restaurant. She grabbed the beam with one hand and barely escaped from the knife's edge.

The throwing knife pierced the pillar beneath the beam with a "thud," its tail feathers still humming and vibrating.

But that leap in mid-air drained her last bit of strength.

Her face was as white as paper. Her fingers loosened, her body swayed, and she could no longer hold onto the roof beam. She fell straight down from mid-air and crashed heavily onto the restaurant floor.

She tried to get up, but her legs had no strength left.

Blood gushed from between her legs, meandering down her skirt onto the blue bricks; the amount of bleeding was shockingly large.

Upon seeing her complexion, Xu Yunhan exclaimed in surprise, "She...she's pregnant! She's had a miscarriage!"
