After seeing everyone off, Su Hao led Elisa and Anse out of the airport, preparing to take a taxi to the hotel.

Anse's face darkened when he saw Su Hao standing by the roadside waving for a taxi: "Mr. Su...don't you have a private car arranged?"

Su Hao said matter-of-factly, "Those women took the car, so we had to take a taxi. What? You think taxis aren't worthy of your princess status?"

Anse quickly waved his hands: "No, no, no... that's not what I meant..."

The taxi stopped, and the driver, a middle-aged man in his forties, stared wide-eyed at Alyssa's appearance: "Wow! Young man, is this your foreign girlfriend? She's really beautiful!"

Su Hao got into the passenger seat and casually replied, "No, they were just people we were entertaining. How can we let barbarians defile our Chinese bloodline?"

The driver gave a thumbs up: "Well said! Our Chinese girls are so much better. Foreign girls' youth doesn't last long; after twenty-five, they're like old cucumbers. By the way, that old man in the back looks fierce; he doesn't seem like a good person. If you ask me, these Westerners are all descendants of robbers; they don't know anything about manners or shame."

Su Hao glanced at the rearview mirror and saw that Elisa and Anse's faces were as black as the bottom of a pot. He couldn't help but remind them, "Master, they can understand Chinese."

The driver's hand trembled, and he almost crashed into the car in front of him.

He quickly steadied the steering wheel, glanced at the two people in the back seat through the rearview mirror, and felt so embarrassed that he wanted to disappear into the ground.

For the rest of the time, he didn't dare say a word.

Su Hao comforted him, "Don't worry, Master, they have a strong ability to withstand pressure. Besides, what you said is the truth, there's nothing to be afraid of."

The driver: "..."

Thank you so much!

The car stopped in front of the Jinling State Guest House.

Su Hao originally intended to take the two to a Home Inn Express Hotel, but Elisa protested vehemently after learning it was a chain hotel: "Mr. Su! I hope you can respect the dignity of our Celestial Empire! Even if we don't stay in the palace, shouldn't we at least stay in a five-star hotel?!"

Su Hao wanted to say something to her, but then he remembered that he had accepted money from Ouyang Mofei, so he couldn't be too harsh. Instead, he went to the Jinling State Guest House, one of the top five-star hotels in Jinling and a place often used to receive foreign guests.

Su Hao booked three presidential suites directly, one for himself, one for Elisa, and one for Anse.

Anse wanted to say that he would be fine with staying in a regular room, but Su Hao waved his hand and said, "Anyway, it's not my money, Ouyang Mofei will reimburse you."

Anse: "..."

After settling in, Su Hao returned to his room and lay on the bed playing on his phone.

About half an hour later, he suddenly sensed that Elisa from the next room had quietly left the room, with Anse following closely behind.

Su Hao smiled and got up to follow.

Elisa and Anse took a taxi to a small alley in the old city of Nanjing and stopped in front of a traditional Chinese medicine clinic with a sign that read "Wang's Medical Hall".

The doctor at the clinic is an elderly traditional Chinese medicine doctor in his sixties named Master Wang, a renowned expert in traditional Chinese medicine in Nanjing.

He paused for a moment when he saw Elisa and Anse enter, then greeted them in fluent English, "Welcome, welcome! Are you here for a medical consultation?"

Elisa and Anse's goodwill towards him increased immediately when they heard him speak English.

Anse said in fluent Mandarin, "Dr. Wang, we came here on someone's recommendation. We heard that you are a highly skilled doctor, so we came here specifically to seek your treatment."

When Master Wang heard him speak Chinese, he knew these two foreigners weren't so easily fooled. His smile faded, and he said seriously, "Please sit down. Let me take this young lady's pulse first."

Elisa extended her hand, and Master Wang placed three fingers on her wrist, closed his eyes, and carefully felt her pulse.

A moment later, Master Wang frowned.

He discovered a faint, ethereal black aura coiling around Elisa's meridians, constantly eroding her life force.

He tried to use his internal energy to dispel the black energy, but it was extremely stubborn. He exerted a great deal of effort and barely managed to refine a trace of it.

Master Wang opened his eyes, his expression grave: "Miss, you are not ill, but possessed by an evil spirit. Forgive my bluntness, but I cannot cure this condition."

Elisa's face turned pale instantly.

Although she had known for a long time that she had health problems, she still felt a sense of despair when she heard that even a famous doctor like Master Wang said that he couldn't cure her.

Anse noticed that Master Wang seemed hesitant to speak, and quickly asked, "Dr. Wang, do you know someone who can cure him?"

Master Wang hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "There is someone who can cure it. But he has an eccentric personality, and I don't know if he's willing to help."

Without saying a word, Anse wrote out a check for five million and pushed it in front of Master Wang: "Dr. Wang, as long as you can introduce us to that master, this check is yours. Even if the master is unwilling to help, consider it a fee for your trouble."

Master Wang glanced at the check, his eyes lighting up for a moment, but ultimately pushed it back: "Let me ask that master's opinion first. If he's willing to help, then you can come back."

Anse insisted on pressing the check into Master Wang's hand: "Dr. Wang, please accept it. No matter the outcome, you deserve it."

Master Wang declined a few times, but finally accepted the check with a satisfied smile on his face: "Alright then, come back tomorrow morning and I'll give you an answer."

After Elisa and Anse left, Su Hao walked in through the back door of the clinic.

Upon seeing him, Master Wang immediately stood up and respectfully bowed, saying, "Teacher!"

Su Hao waved his hand: "Don't call me teacher. Your medical skills are terrible, and your martial arts are terrible too. Calling me teacher would be an embarrassment to me."

Master Wang smiled awkwardly, not daring to refute.

Although he was much older than Su Hao, his medical skills and martial arts prowess were indeed far inferior to Su Hao's.

Su Hao glanced at the check on the table and said calmly, "That patient is not going to be treated."

Master Wang was taken aback for a moment, but dared not ask any more questions and quickly nodded.

"Yes, teacher."

Su Hao didn't say anything more and turned to leave the clinic.

When Elisa and Anse returned to the Jinling State Guest House, Su Hao was already waiting for them at the door.

He crossed his arms, leaned against the doorframe, and asked with a scrutinizing look, "Where did you all go?"

Elisa felt a little guilty and didn't dare to look him in the eye.

Anse quickly replied, "Mr. Su, we're just going out for a walk to familiarize ourselves with the environment of Jinling."

"Even the masters of traditional Chinese medicine couldn't cure your illness, right? Aren't you wondering how I knew you went out?" Su Hao sneered.

Anse's expression changed, and after a moment of silence, he said with a wry smile, "Mr. Su has been following us the whole time, but I didn't notice at all."

Your abilities are indeed extraordinary.

"You came to China for medical treatment, right? Beg me. Give me 100 million, and maybe I can cure you," Su Hao said directly, without denying it.

Elisa snorted and said defiantly, "We've already found the master! I don't need to ask you for anything!"

"Then don't regret it. If you beg me again tomorrow, it will be two hundred million." Su Hao shrugged.

Elisa stomped her foot in anger, turned around, and went into her room.

That evening, Su Hao took the two of them to stroll through the night market in Jinling.

He first bought a serving of Nanjing's most famous local specialty snack—hairy eggs.

Elisa stared at the fully formed chick embryos in the bowl, her face turning pale with shock: "What...what is this?! How can you eat unhatched chicks?! You Chinese are so cruel!"

Su Hao took a bite and chewed with relish: "You Westerners can even eat raw beef, so what's wrong with eating this cooked? Come on, have a taste."

Elisa shook her head repeatedly.

Su Hao used reverse psychology: "What? The princess of the mighty British Empire doesn't even have this much courage?"

Provoked by his words, Elisa gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and took a bite.

Surprisingly, it tasted pretty good.

She took two more bites and found that the more she ate, the more delicious it became.

Next, Su Hao bought spicy rabbit heads.

Elisa looked at the rabbit heads and began to protest again: "Bunnies are so cute! How can you eat them!"

Half an hour later, Elisa, wearing gloves, was happily gnawing on a rabbit head.

Finally, Su Hao bought a plate of braised pig intestines.

Elisa asked curiously, "What is this?"

Su Hao said without changing his expression, "Pig intestines are where pigs put their excrement."

Elisa and Anse turned around at the same time and leaned against the wall, dry heaving.

Su Hao pinched his nose, took a big bite of pig intestines, and mumbled, "Pig intestines are so delicious, you guys really don't know how to appreciate them."

The two insisted on returning to the hotel.

Su Hao checked the time and said, "We haven't even had hot pot yet, and we're already going back?"

Elisa's eyes lit up when she heard about hot pot. After hesitating for a moment, she finally followed Su Hao to the hot pot restaurant.

After the hot pot was served, Elisa enjoyed her meal immensely.

Su Hao pointed to a white object and told her, "This is pig brain."

Elisa's face turned pale again.

After a while, she pointed to a plate of thinly sliced ​​meat and asked, "What's this?"

Su Hao glanced at it: "Beef stomach."

Elisa gritted her teeth and decided that she would never ask Su Hao any questions again.

Anyway, whatever it is, just eat it!

The next morning, Elisa enjoyed a delicious meal of crab roe buns and various Chinese dim sum at the hotel restaurant, and was in a great mood.

She decided that she would never again be fooled by Su Hao into eating those random, nonsensical things.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the three of them arrived at Wang's Medical Clinic again.

When Master Wang saw that Su Hao had also come along, he was taken aback for a moment, but quickly recovered.

Anse asked impatiently, "Dr. Wang, has that extraordinary person agreed to help?"

"I asked, and he said it's incurable." Master Wang shook his head.

Anse is getting anxious.

"Did you tell him that we're very wealthy? That we're willing to pay any amount, as long as he's willing to spend?"

Master Wang gave a wry smile: "That master's noble character cannot be bought with money."

Su Hao interjected, "You're wrong. He can be bought with money. As long as there's enough money, he'll definitely make a move."

"You're not some kind of master, how do you know?" Elisa looked at him suspiciously.

Master Wang sighed and decided to stop hiding it.

He turned to Su Hao, respectfully cupped his hands, and said, "Teacher, please explain."

Elisa and Anse were both stunned.

"Teacher?!" Elisa stared wide-eyed at Su Hao in disbelief.

You're saying he's your teacher?!

Master Wang nodded: "There is a sequence to learning, and those who are accomplished are teachers. Teacher Su's medical skills are far superior to mine. If even he can't cure your illness, then there is no one else in this world who can."

Elisa finally believed it.

She looked at Su Hao, bit her lip, and whispered, "Can...can you really cure me?"

Su Hao held up two fingers: "Two hundred million."

Elisa gritted her teeth: "Fine! As long as you can cure me, two hundred million it is!"

Anse immediately transferred the money.

Two hundred million RMB was transferred to Su Hao's account in just a few minutes.

"Take off your clothes." Su Hao nodded in satisfaction, then said to Elisa.

Elisa's face instantly turned bright red: "What...what did you say?!"

Su Hao pointed to the examination bed next to him: "Treatment, huh? Haven't you ever watched Chinese TV dramas? They always take off their clothes to treat injuries."

Elisa hesitated for a moment, thinking about her physical condition, but finally gritted her teeth and said to Anse and Master Wang, "You two go out."

After Anse and Master Wang left the room, Elisa closed her eyes and, with trembling hands, began to unbutton her clothes.

"I was just kidding! You actually took it seriously? I'm not interested in skinny people." Su Hao suddenly burst into laughter.

Elisa opened her eyes and saw Su Hao's mocking expression. She was so angry that her face turned black, and she wished she could pounce on him and bite him.

Su Hao's smile faded, and he said seriously, "The problem with your body is a curse that was planted before you were born. In Western terms, it's called witchcraft or magic. Compared to the methods used in China, it's quite crude."

He took Elisa's hand and channeled a stream of pure true energy into her body.

That true energy, like a swimming dragon, meandered through Elisa's meridians, driving all the hidden evil energy into her palm.

Then, Su Hao absorbed the evil energy into his body and refined it instantly.

Elisa felt a warm current flowing through her body, and she felt more relaxed than ever before.

She looked down at her hands and found that the faint black aura in her palms had completely disappeared.

Anse pushed open the door and entered. Seeing that Elisa's complexion had improved considerably, he quickly went forward to examine her, then exclaimed with great joy, "Princess! You are cured!"

Su Hao poured cold water on the situation, saying, "Don't be too happy yet. Her vitality is too weak. If she isn't treated, she's destined to die young. Let her stay a few more days, and I'll treat her."

Elisa looked at him, her eyes filled with gratitude: "Su Hao, thank you."

"I'll take care of it once I get the money. If you really want to thank me, you can give me another two hundred million." Su Hao waved his hand.

Elisa rolled her eyes, realizing how ridiculous it was that she had thought he was a good person.

Taking the opportunity, Master Wang invited Su Hao: "Teacher, there's a Traditional Chinese Medicine conference in Nanjing tomorrow, attended by many famous doctors. Would you like to come and take a look?"

Su Hao refused without even thinking: "I don't have time, I'm not going."

Back at the hotel, Su Hao received a call from Shen Qingci.

"Su Hao, I heard there's a Traditional Chinese Medicine conference in Jinling tomorrow. Could you represent our company at the conference? If we can win first place, we can take the opportunity to launch our skincare line."

Su Hao was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I'll go."

He hung up the phone and said to Elisa, "Come with me to a place tomorrow."

Elisa asked, puzzled, "Where to?"

Su Hao said matter-of-factly, "It's a Traditional Chinese Medicine conference, and I'll arrange your schedule. Do you have a problem with that?"

Elisa was speechless, and could only reluctantly agree.

Late at night, Su Hao was meditating in his room when he suddenly sensed a slight noise outside.

He suddenly opened his eyes, swayed, and rushed out of the room into the corridor.

The corridor was deserted.

But Su Hao keenly sensed that a faint trace of something remained in the air.

The aura was unfamiliar, carrying a chilling feeling, and clearly did not belong to anyone in the hotel.

He returned to the room and looked at Elisa and Anse, his gaze sharpening.

"You came to China not just for medical treatment, right?"
