Chapter 239
On the way back to Dragon Garden, Wang Ma had been sneezing in the car repeatedly . She seemed to have caught a cold .
After going back to the hall at home, Lin Ruoxi said worriedly, “Wang Ma, have some medicines and get some rest . ”
Wang Ma who looked pale waved her hand . “No need . Miss, you should go back to your room and rest . You need to work, you can’t get sick like I did . My body and bones are hard, an insignificant cold like this is nothing to me . After the incident, I need to check the house to see if anything valuable is lost . ”
“Wang Ma, don’t check already . Can’t you see that the house is fine? The last thing that the house needs is money . Why would we care about those? Listen to Ruoxi, take some medicines and rest,” Yang Chen said .
Wang Ma kind of agreed to what Yang Chen said . Looking at the surrounding with minimal changes and feeling her dizziness, she said, “Young Master, there were only the two of us here in this house last time . We don’t keep any medicine at home . I still need to trouble you to get some outside . ”
Yang Chen naturally didn’t deny the request . “Then Wang Ma and Ruoxi, you two may go upstairs and bathe . I’ll be back with medicines when you’re done,” he said before rushing out of the house .
Wang Ma smiled as she looked at Lin Ruoxi, saying, “Miss, Young Master must’ve felt really bad earlier . Looking at his expression at the police station earlier, anyone would feel heartache for him . ”
“Really…? I wasn’t paying attention,” Lin Ruoxi said softly . “I said that I didn’t blame him . I can’t do anything if he still wants to think that way . ”
“It’s because Miss hasn’t been treating him enthusiastically . When you suddenly get so understanding, Young Master would feel sorry for you,” Wang Ma said and coughed .
Frowning, Lin Ruoxi asked, “If I don’t usually treat him nicely, shouldn’t he feel happy when I get sympathetic?”
“This is where Young Master is different from other guys . He doesn’t keep it in his heart when Miss doesn’t treat him well . That’s why the situation turned out this way . Sigh,” Wang Ma said before walking upstairs slowly .
Lin Ruoxi contemplated as she stood silently, before walking upstairs as well .
At the same time, Yang Chen was thinking what medicines he was supposed to get for the two while driving . Since he would never get sick, he had no knowledge when it came to the effectiveness of different medicines . He reached a private pharmacy . When he wanted to enter the shop, someone called him from behind .
“Young Master, don’t get medicines from this place,” the voice of an old person resounded .
Yang Chen turned around and saw an old man dressed in a gray robe standing in front of him . His appearance attracted quite a lot of attention from the passersby .
“It’s you…” Yang Chen said as he squinted . This guy was the person who followed Lin Zhiguo around, Gray Robe .
Since Gray Robe reached Zhonghai, Lin Zhiguo must’ve come as well, Yang Chen thought .
God’s Stone was indeed impressive . It even made the general of Yellow Flame Iron Brigade to rush over to Zhonghai .
Gray Robe seemed really kind, he looked at Yang Chen like he would look at any junior . “When it comes to medicine, taking Chinese medicine is a better idea . There’s a pharmacy nearby, I’ll bring Young Master there . ”
After thinking for a while, Yang Chen nodded . Although he wanted to avoid Lin Zhiguo, it didn’t mean that he’d reject this old man’s good intention . Furthermore, Yang Chen had limited knowledge when it came to medicines . He knew that taking Chinese medicine would condition the body better .
Following Gray Robe across a street, they stopped at an old Chinese medicine pharmacy located at a crossroad .
Upon entering the shop, Gray Robe told the shop owner a list of medicinal ingredients . After packing them up, the old folk at the pharmacy passed the package to Yang Chen .
Yang Chen took some money out to pay before saying, “Thank you . ”
“Young Master, you don’t need to thank me . This is what I should do,” Gray Robe said . “Sigh, it’s our responsibility as well that Miss got kidnapped by Yamata Sect . Master asked me to thank you . ”
“He doesn’t hate me for passing God’s Stone to the people from Yamata Sect?” Yang Chen asked in a mocking manner .
Shaking his head, Gray Robe answered, “Master indeed got mad . The matter regarding God’s Stone is significant . It can influence how energy is divided in the entire world . If it’s not handled appropriately, Yellow Flame Iron Brigade and the organizations from other countries would get into a disaster . ”
“The ninjas from Yamata Sect excel in lurking and escaping . You guys won’t necessarily be able to catch them,” Yang Chen said smilingly .
“This is also why I came here to see Young Master,” Gray Robe said with a serious expression . “We hope that Young Master can help us to track the whereabouts of God’s Stone and kill the three people . ”
“I don’t want to be related to God’s Stone anymore, and I’m not interested in letting people think that I’m your ally,” Yang Chen said as he rejected the request . “God’s Stone isn’t related to me anymore, not even in the slightest way . If you guys are capable enough to retrieve God’s Stone, it’s fate you should thank . If it ends up being used by Yamata Sect, I can only say that they’re more lucky than you guys . ”
Gray Robe’s eyes shone . He said, “Young Master, do you mean that you won’t care where God’s Stone ends up at? You won’t step in anymore?”
“That’s right . I quit,” Yang Chen said as he nodded .
“Alright, deal!” Gray Robe said before taking a deep breath . “Actually, Master has his concern as well . He’s worried that Young Master would step in to retrieve God’s Stone . This way, our large-scale hunt would be wasted . Now that Young Master doesn’t want God’s Stone back, we can do as we want . ”
“There’s no use for it to be with me . It’ll only cause trouble to the people around me,” Yang Chen said with a bitter smile . Waving his hand, he said, “You guys may do all you want . I’ll go now . I still need to simmer and serve the medicines . ”
Gray Robe nodded smilingly . He said, “Simmer the medicines following the instructions written . A cold can be gotten rid of within a night . Help me greet Miss Ruoxi when you see her . ”
Yang Chen nodded before leaving the pharmacy .
After Yang Chen left, Gray Robe took out his contact device . After the connection was up, he reported, “Master, Young Master has promised to step out of the fight for God’s Stone . ”
“It’s as expected, since God’s Stone doesn’t hold any meaning to him anymore . I just didn’t think that he’d give up God’s Stone for Ruoxi . ”
“Master… what do we do next…”
“You may come back . Since Yang Chen isn’t stepping in, we’ll seize this opportunity . We mustn’t let Hannya and Tanuki go back to Japan . ”
“Isn’t Tengu with them as well?”
“Tengu got poisoned by them . His corpse got destroyed into powder . We just got this information after examining the bone ash . ”
“Although Tengu was strong, his escape ability was far inferior to Hannya and Tanuki . He’d only form a burden towards them . Now that Tengu was gone, catching the other two would be much more difficult…”
“Yeah… No matter what, whether we can conduct the project ‘God Creation’ depends on this one-day pursuit . If we delay for a while longer, Yamata Sect will send backup for them . Once God’s Stone lands on their hands, it’s very possible that a troublesome enemy would arise . So, we mustn’t get careless this time!”
“Yes… Master!”
On the way back to the bungalow, Yang Chen’s mood was rather good . He was thinking if he should bring other stuff back home, since he felt sorry for the two women at home .
After thinking for a while, Yang Chen turned the car around and proceeded to another street to buy some small gifts .
Regarding God’s Stone, it was a matter between Yellow Flame Iron Brigade and Yamata Sect . It was none of his business . He only wanted to go home to simmer the medicines . It was a fresh experience for him, he had never done something like this before .
As he reached the kitchen, Yang Chen followed the instructions and took a crucible out . He started simmering the medicines as he read the instructions given .
After more than ten minutes, the smell of Chinese medicine filled the entire kitchen, and dispersed to the second floor .
After bathing, Wang Ma and Lin Ruoxi walked downstairs after changing .
Looking at Yang Chen happily pouring medicinal soup into a bowl, Wang Ma got curious while Lin Ruoxi daydreamt .
“Young Master, why did you think of getting Chinese medicine? Did you come up with the recipe as well?” Wang Ma asked .
Yang Chen placed two bowls on the table as he said, “How would I know any recipe? I asked an old man for a recipe to cure cold . ”
Yang Chen didn’t mention Gray Robe at all . He was very aware that Lin Ruoxi would never consume the medicine if he did .
“I haven’t had any medicine in a while . I still remember when Old Mistress was still here, she’d buy medicines and boil them herself every time someone got sick in the house,” Wang Ma said . “I still remember Miss was always unwilling to drink the medicine . She had to be consoled before she would agree to consume it . ”
Looking at the light brown medicinal soup on the table, Lin Ruoxi said, “Wang Ma, you may drink the medicine yourself . I don’t want it . ”
Yang Chen got shocked . “Why don’t you want it? You have to remove the cold from your body,” he said .
“Yeah, Miss, Young Master put in a lot of effort for this . Please drink some,” Wang Ma said .
“I won’t drink it because I say so! I’m afraid of bitterness, okay?!”
Lin Ruoxi suddenly got irritated . She turned around and ran upstairs .
Yang Chen quickly ran into the kitchen to take a small plastic bag out . He shouted, “Wifey, if you obediently drink the medicine, I’ll give you some glutinous rice balls!”
Lin Ruoxi suddenly stopped walking . Her shoulders shivered lightly . Turning around, she shouted, “Gangster!” before running back to her room without looking bad . It could be seen that her eyes were wet .
“Erm…”
Yang Chen got stunned like a wooden chicken . Confused, he thought, doesn’t this girl love glutinous rice balls? I purposely made a big turn to get them . Is it really that torturing to drink medicine?
Wang Ma looked apologetic and sad . Looking at the bewildered Yang Chen, she said, “Young Master, Old Mistress used to console Miss with glutinous rice balls as well, to make Miss consume medicine . You did the exact same thing . You must’ve reminded Miss of her grandmother . ”
Yang Chen got speechless . He didn’t expect to hook Lin Ruoxi’s sad memories twice intentionally . No wonder she seemed like she was going to cry .
“Then… Wang Ma, please consume the medicine . I can’t do anything if Ruoxi doesn’t want it,” Yang Chen said helplessly . “Sigh, I got hit by a bullet even when I was lying down . I bet Ruoxi will roll her eyes to me for the next few days . ”
Wang Ma said, “I don’t think that’ll happen . I think Miss may like Young Master even more . ”
“Because I made her think of her grandma?” Yang Chen asked .
“Instead of saying it’s because of Old Mistress, Miss may have felt how concerned you are for her . Being able to do something to this extent means that Young Master has truly placed Miss into your heart,” Wang Ma said .
Embarrassed, Yang Chen replied, “This sounds rather cringey . Aren’t they just a few rice balls? If she likes shark fin or bird’s nest, there’s no way I’m buying them for her . ”
However, when Yang Chen brought the bowl to the kitchen as he wanted to pour away the soup, Lin Ruoxi suddenly opened her door from the second floor .
Lin Ruoxi looked down with her wet eyes while she pouted . It was evident that she cried for a while . The usually ice-cold Lin Ruoxi looked particularly cute this way .
“Yang Chen, what are you doing? Are you pouring it away? I haven’t had my medicine yet! Do you hope that I never recover?!”
