Chapter 9: Beauty Syndrome
"Yang Chen?"
"That Yang Chen from the Yang family?"
The young girl was followed by many admirers. After hearing Yang Chen's words, they all burst into laughter, as if they heard someone telling a joke.
"Who is Yang Chen?"
"You don't even know this? There is a loser in the Yang family who is not good at refining alchemy and practicing martial arts. This year the adults will be stripped of their household registration by the Yang family. This person calls himself Yang Chen, so it must be true. After all, who Are you going to impersonate Yang Chen?" A handsome young man sneered.
Gu Mingyue followed Yang Chen closely. She didn't know what was going on at first, but when she heard the sarcasm from these people one by one, her face turned red with anger: "You are the trash, our young master is a man who stands upright!"
These young masters, who could not find out which family they came from, heard the voice of the woman behind Yang Chen, and looked at them one by one. Their eyes were shining, and they secretly said that they were such handsome girls.
"Hmph, your young master is notorious. It has spread to the ears of us foreigners. How can he still be a man? Your young master had a bet with the Wang family and lost all his crotchless pants. You, a maid, don't know that? Oh? By the way, Brother Wang, you are also a member of the Wang family, so you know this."
When the young man named Wang heard this, he chuckled and said: "I still remember the gambling fight between our two brothers Wang Ren and Wang De at that time. It's just that this Yang Chen is really a coward and a complete mess. Not even a single bone-returning pill has been refined from the materials for the bone-returning pill. Oh, by the way, brother Yang Chen, your ancestral Zixiu pill furnace still belongs to our Wang family, right?"
Hearing these words, all the young men burst out laughing.
Yang Chen would be lying if he said he wasn't angry. This 'Yang Chen' is really famous for his messy things. It seems that improving his current reputation is one of the things he must do now. Otherwise, no one will be happy if they are looked at with colored glasses when they go out.
Just when Yang Chen was about to open his mouth to speak, the young ladies gathered in the center like stars holding the moon finally spoke: "This little brother, my sister is Feng Xuewu of the Feng family. This fiery red fruit is of great use to me, and also I hope my brother can raise his hand and give it to my sister!"
At Yang Chen's current age, it's not strange for Feng Xuewu to call him his younger brother.
"Young Master, the Feng Family... The Feng Family is one of the twelve major families in our Great Wilderness. Feng Xuewu is known as the Three Golden Hairpins. She is as famous as Miss Cai Die and is the eldest lady of the Feng Family." Although Gu Mingyue has not yet I have seen Feng Xuewu, but I have heard of her name. When I learned that the woman in front of me was the famous Feng Xuewu, I immediately retreated.
Yang Chen also touched his chin, feeling a little surprised.
There are hundreds of clans, and naturally there are strong and weak ones. Among the hundreds of clans, the Yang family is a middle-ranking family, neither strong nor weak. Above the middle tribes, there are twelve major tribes, and the Feng family is one of the twelve major tribes.
But it was obviously impossible for him to give in like this. He didn't have any bad feelings towards Feng Xuewu, at least the words he said were not that unpleasant, but he would not pretend not to hear the sarcastic words of those behind Feng Xuewu. If he still tolerates it again and again, then what is the difference between him and the original Yang Chen?
He needs to let people know that he is not that good-tempered.
Yang Chen snorted coldly: "Miss Feng, do you mean that this dragon fruit is important to you, but not important to me?"
"Yang Chen, as the shopkeeper, I have to say something. The Yang family is a middle-class family, and the Feng family is a large tribe among our hundreds of tribes. Such a comparison. Haha, you should know who is less important and who is more important. Let's go." At this time, the manager of the Li Family Chamber of Commerce appeared at an inappropriate time.
When he came out, his words towards Yang Chen were full of sarcasm, but towards Feng Xuewu, he was flattering and showed off his face.
It was obvious that the shopkeeper planned to face Feng Xuewu.
Yang Chen glanced at the shopkeeper. He was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties with a black mole on his face. After seeing the young men, he stepped forward and said hello with a calm face, but he said to Yang Chen Turn a blind eye.
The meaning of the other party's posture could not be more obvious.
This made Yang Chen say in a deep voice: "So, the shopkeeper means that our Yang family is easy to mess with?"
"Haha, Yang Chen, you said that. Then I, the shopkeeper, originally planned to save some face for you, but since you don't want face yourself, then there is no need for me, the shopkeeper, to give you face. The Yang family, I Of course, you can't afford to offend the little shopkeeper, but do you think that Yang Chen, an abandoned son of the Yang family who can be abandoned at any time, can represent the Yang family?" The shopkeeper laughed again and again.
As he spoke, the shopkeeper smiled flatteringly: "Miss Feng, if you like this red fruit, it is naturally yours."
"Our young master saw this fiery red fruit first." Gu Mingyue was so angry that she wanted to help Yang Chen reject his dignity, and stamped her feet: "Why don't you have a first-come, first-served rule?"
The shopkeeper didn't even look at Gu Mingyue: "I am the shopkeeper here, so of course I have the final say."
Feng Xuewu felt a lot more at ease when she saw the shopkeeper promising her the red fruit. However, when she saw that the shopkeeper and the suitors behind her were bullying the young man in front of her in every possible way, she couldn't bear it and sighed: "Brother Yang Chen, Although I don’t know what the purpose of this flaming fruit is, I use this flaming fruit to save my mother’s life. My mother is ill and needs the flaming fruit very much, and I hope you can fulfill her wish.”
Yang Chen was quite discouraged after failing to compete for the fiery red fruit today, but there was nothing he could do about it. The shopkeeper's dog looks down on others and has made it clear that he wants to climb the high branches of Fengxuewu. What can he do?
However, after hearing Feng Xuewu's words, his favorable impression increased a lot, and he asked out of curiosity: "Well, human life is at stake. If Miss Feng had said this earlier, I would definitely not snatch the Fire Red Fruit. That's right. Do you know what kind of disease your mother suffers from?"
Feng Xuewu now only wants to get the fiery red fruit and save people. When Yang Chen asked her, she said irritably: "Xuewu can't talk about my mother's condition. I only know that she was shaking all over and was very cold when she got sick. It's just that beads of sweat drip from my forehead from time to time, but the sweat is hot, which is really strange."
"Oh?" Yang Chen said curiously: "Did your face turn red and abnormally red when you got sick, but your hands and body were cold and lukewarm?"
"You, how did you know?" Feng Xuewu's eyes widened.
When Yang Chen heard this, he was completely happy: "Miss Feng, the disease your father is suffering from is called 'Beautiful Woman Syndrome'. When the disease occurs, it is difficult to breathe and extremely uncomfortable, as if he will die at any time. I don't know why Miss Feng uses the flaming red I’m going to use the fruit to treat your daughter’s illness, but the fiery red fruit is of no use to your daughter’s illness. On the contrary, if you take it for a long time, it will even harm your daughter!”
He was proficient in the art of alchemy in his previous life, and he naturally had a long history of treating illnesses and saving people. This beauty syndrome is indeed a difficult disease, but for him, it is not something that is difficult to solve.
On the contrary, Feng Xuewu, after hearing Yang Chen's words, her eyes widened and her little cherry mouth opened, showing off her cuteness.
Because, what Yang Chen said was the same as her mother's symptoms, with no deviation at all.
"You said that the Fire Red Fruit will only make my mother's condition worse?" Feng Xuewu originally didn't believe Yang Chen's words. After all, she had heard the words of those behind her who admired him, pursued him, and commented on Yang Chen. of. It's just that Yang Chen is still young now, so she doesn't want to bully each other like these people behind her.
However, Yang Chen's words just now were true, and they were no different from her mother's condition. She now believed most of what the other party said.
"Xuewu, don't listen to him. This kid is full of nonsense. Who among you here doesn't know how much he weighs?" Feng Xuewu's suitor sneered.
Zhao Xiaowen, the shopkeeper of the Li Family Chamber of Commerce, echoed: "Master Sun is right, Miss Xue Wu, you must not listen to Yang Chen's nonsense. When this kid had a bet with the Wang family, he lost completely. They’ve all been lost, and the level of alchemy is so poor. Are you still pretending to be an alchemy doctor here? In our vast wilderness, there are hundreds of tribes, but there is no alchemy doctor!”
Alchemy doctors are a branch of alchemists, and they are a well-respected existence on the mainland.
Unlike alchemists, alchemists also make alchemy, but their main approach is to treat illnesses and save people. Unlike ordinary alchemists, there are all kinds of elixirs produced, with various effects. In comparison, alchemy is more difficult to learn, and one must have a warm heart to treat illnesses and save lives.
In his previous life, Yang Chen was not only involved in alchemy, but also the largest branch of alchemy, alchemy medicine.
His level of alchemy medicine was one of the things that made him famous as an alchemist in his previous life.
Alchemy doctors are very rare, and it would not be strange to not have them in the wilderness. Not only in Dahuang, but also in the entire Beishan County, there are probably not many alchemy doctors.
Listening to Zhao Xiaowen's words at this moment, Yang Chen didn't bother to argue, and said lazily: "Whether you believe it or not, it has nothing to do with me. The ownership of this red fruit is your Chamber of Commerce's final decision anyway. It doesn't matter if I can't grab it, the big deal Just give it to Miss Feng. Mingyue, let’s go!”
After saying this, Yang Chen didn't mean to stay any longer, so he turned around and left.
However, when she saw that Yang Chen was about to leave, Feng Xuewu was really hesitant. She thought a little and hurriedly shouted: "Brother Yang Chen, please stay!"
"Miss Feng, what else do you want to say?" Yang Chen was puzzled.
Feng Xuewu bit her lip lightly, and the way she hesitated to speak made people feel sad. She hesitated a little, and then she opened her mouth and said: "Brother Yang Chen just said that my mother's symptoms are really good after taking the fire red fruit." Is it harmful rather than helpful?”
"Actually, don't you know the answer if you think about it carefully, Miss Feng? I think this is not the first time that Miss Feng has used this fiery red fruit on your royal family. But after doing this, have you ever seen the effect?" Yang Chen asked without answering.
When Feng Xuewu heard Yang Chen's words, her delicate body trembled slightly. Her mother's illness had always been a heartache for her. At this moment, she was very sick and wanted to seek medical treatment urgently. In a panic, she hurriedly said: "Since brother Yang Chen knows so much about my mother's symptoms, I wonder if brother Yang Chen has a solution?"
Yang Chen originally didn't want to reveal too much about his identity as an alchemy doctor. After all, he knew medical skills at the age of thirteen, and it would be too shocking to tell the world. He initially pointed out that Feng Xuewu's mother's illness did not require the Fire Red Fruit, but in fact it was just that Feng Xuewu did not express disdain or ridicule in her words.
This was actually enough for him now, so he didn't hesitate to say a few more words. But he never thought about asking him to heal Feng Xuewu's mother.
However, seeing the filial piety on Feng Xuewu's face, Yang Chen had some thoughts in his mind and said, "Yang Chen can't guarantee that we can solve your mother's illness, but if I go to see your mother, I might be able to see some clues. But regardless of the result or not, Miss Feng, please believe that this beauty syndrome is an acquired disease, and it cannot be solved by a mere fire red fruit. "
