What do you mean by saying that the corpses I sew are all ominous creatures?

"have no idea."

I shook my head quite calmly.

"There are too many mysteries surrounding her, and the information we have now is simply not enough to piece together a complete truth."

"Then why did she save me?"

Li Qing spread his hands, his face full of confusion.

"Since she is from Wandie Valley, and Wandie Valley is now in cahoots with Hei Li."

She came to save me, someone being chased by Hei Li. Isn't that just asking for trouble?

Could it be that she's taken a liking to my handsome and dashing appearance?

Seeing Li Qing's narcissistic appearance, I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

You're overthinking it.

I calmly interrupted his fantasy.

"I don't know why she saved you."

Perhaps she has some scheme against you, or perhaps she has some unknown grudge between herself and Hei Li.

Or perhaps she has a deeper purpose.

Before we know the truth, we can't say for sure.

Li Qing pursed his lips, seemingly somewhat displeased with this conclusion that had no answer.

Who cares?

Then he waved his hand dismissively, as if he didn't care at all.

"Anyway, I've saved my life."

As for who she really is and what she wants, the truth will eventually come out.

Thinking about these random things now is a complete waste of brain cells.

Just then, the sound of an electric scooter horn came from the old street outside Tingyuxuan.

"Your takeout is here!"

The delivery guy's energetic shout came from the doorway.

"Here it comes!"

Upon hearing that voice, Li Qing's previously conflicted expression vanished instantly.

He ran towards the door as if he had seen a family member, wearing his blue and white striped hospital gown and plastic slippers.

Seeing him walk back carrying two huge family buckets, his face beaming with happiness, I smiled helplessly.

Li Qing placed the two family buckets heavily on the tea tray and eagerly lifted the lids.

Then, he grabbed a piece of Original Recipe Chicken and started taking big bites without any regard for his image, letting out satisfied sighs as he ate.

"Awesome! That's so awesome!"

Li Qing mumbled incoherently.

"During those days in the hospital, I felt like I was turning into a monk."

This is the kind of life a human being should live!

He ate with his mouth full of oil, and still remembered to take out a chicken wing and hand it to me.

"Chen Yang, want a piece? It's freshly fried and still warm."

"You eat it. I just had tea this morning and don't really want anything greasy."

I smiled and waved my hand, declining his offer.

"That's great, all of these are mine now."

Li Qing didn't stand on ceremony, withdrew her hand, and continued to bury herself in the family bucket.

He ate with gusto, his mouth dripping with oil, as if he were trying to make up for all the oil he had missed while in the hospital.

Seeing his starving look, I gently shook my head, didn't bother him anymore, and turned to go up the wooden stairs to the third floor.

Back in my room, I quickly washed up and changed into a clean and neat set of casual clothes.

After tidying up my clothes, I grabbed my car keys and phone and leisurely walked downstairs.

As soon as I reached the lobby on the first floor, before I could even greet Li Qing, the heavy wooden door of Tingyuxuan was pushed open from the outside with a "bang".

Accompanied by a series of slightly hurried footsteps, Jin Wanliang's round body rushed in.

He was wearing a flashy short-sleeved shirt today, with a few beads of sweat on his forehead, and he was twirling two strings of shiny walnuts in his hands.

As soon as he entered the door, he started shouting at the top of his lungs.

"You bastard Li Qing, I knew you'd be hiding here!"

Jin Wan rushed to the tea table, saw the table full of chicken bones and Li Qing still eating heartily, and was furious.

"I just went to the First Municipal Hospital to bring you some chicken soup, but the nurse told me you were missing. It almost gave me a heart attack!"

I thought you'd been kidnapped by the Black Li people!

So you used some kind of magic trick to come back here and eat junk food?

Li Qing swallowed the chicken in his mouth and pulled out a tissue to wipe his mouth.

Immediately afterwards, he rolled his eyes and retorted without any politeness:

"Go away, go away, I know my own body well, I'm already as lively as ever."

If I stay in that lousy hospital any longer, drinking your bland, watery chicken soup every day, I'll get sick from all the stress.

Fried chicken is food for humans, you don't know anything.

"You know, you know best!"

"You're running around like this before your meridians are fully developed. If you develop any health problems later, don't expect me to take care of you."

Jin Wanliang pulled out a chair and sat down in a bad mood. He picked up the tea I had poured for him and, without caring whether it was cold or not, tilted his head back and gulped it down.

The two exchanged a few words, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became lively.

Watching them banter so familiarly, I couldn't help but smile slightly.

Then I walked to the side, pulled up a chair, sat down, and quietly watched them.

Jin Wanliang calmed himself down, seemingly having had enough of arguing, and then turned his gaze to me.

After looking at me, a shrewd glint flashed in his small eyes, and his expression instantly changed from exasperation to a forced smile.

"Brother Chen, how did you sleep last night?"

Jin Wanliang greeted him with a smile, then leaned forward and asked in a low voice.

"Interested in getting some exercise and earning some extra pocket money on the side?"

Upon hearing the words "extra income," I raised an eyebrow but didn't immediately respond.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Jin Wanliang continued his enthusiastic sales pitch:

"Let me tell you, bro, I just picked up a little job outside."

This job is practically tailor-made for you: easy work, high pay, and close to home.

I figured I should keep the good stuff within the family.

It would be better to benefit one's own brothers than to let those unreliable independent cultivators benefit from it.

"How about we split the profits 50/50?"

Before I could even speak, Li Qing, who was gnawing on a chicken leg next to me, immediately became unhappy.

"Hey, Lao Jin, what do you mean by that?"

Li Qing slammed the chicken bone on the table and protested with wide eyes.

"You didn't tell me about this great deal? What do you mean by 'profiting your own brother'? Does that mean I, Li Qing, am not your brother? I want a piece of this pie too!"

Jin Wanliang glanced at him disdainfully, waved his hand, and said as if shooing away a fly:

"Go away, what are you meddling in, you're a patient?"

Although the job is simple, it still requires going out and running errands.

"Just stay here and focus on healing your injury, enjoy your fried chicken, and don't cause any trouble."

"you……"

Li Qing was taken aback, snorted indignantly, and turned to continue dealing with the remaining half of the family bucket, ignoring him.

I leaned back in my chair, looking at Jin Wanliang with a hint of suspicion.
