Chapter 2 No more!
How can it continue to deceive people? Why doesn't he cooperate at all?
"Host, do you have any wishes? I can help you realize it~"
No one answered.
"Or host, do you want to become rich? I can help you achieve it~"
Still no one answered.
"Host, please reply to me!"
Again, no one responded.
The Myriad Worlds Pearl floated in front of him, swaying back and forth, "Host, please pay attention to me."
Yu Tongchen took the herbs on the winnowing basket out to dry.
The sun is shining brightly today, which is perfect for drying medicinal herbs.
The Wanjiezhu turned around and ran away angrily, but it could not move beyond the range of ten feet.
Ahhh! This is so annoying!
Lord of the Netherworld, only speak half the truth!
The Pearl of All Worlds floated over again to bother Yu Tongchen.
"Host~"
"Host~~"
"Host~Host!"
Yu Tongchen pinched it, "What do you want me to do? I don't have what you want."
He has both power and financial resources, so what it proposes is not enough to impress him.
As for immortality? It's still boring. Immortality for one person is too boring.
Flying? Forget it, it's more interesting than digging herbs.
"Also, don't call me host."
"But you and I are bound together."
"What do you want?" Yu Tongchen glanced at it and tossed it casually in his hand.
"That's right. I want you to help me with a task." Being tossed around, Wanjiezhu felt a little dizzy, but he didn't dare to complain. After all, if he annoyed him, he wouldn't be able to complete his task.
"Ok?"
"Protect the individual and allow her to die of natural causes without suffering from any disease or disaster."
"I refuse." Yu Tongchen threw it away.
"You don't have enough leverage to impress me."
Wanjiezhu had nothing to say.
How can someone want nothing? Is there nothing that can tempt him?
The Pearl of All Worlds lay directly on the roof to bask in the sun. It looked at the location of the mission object and was stunned again for a moment.
I don't go to the mountain, the mountain goes to me, hahaha!
The target of the mission is on the way here.
Okay, lie down for a while first.
Yu Tongchen glanced at it and continued with his work.
In the evening, Ziling came back from the medicinal field, holding his waist, and said, "Master, I have weeded all the grass."
"Well, go collect the herbs."
Upon hearing this, Ziling frowned and went to collect the herbs.
"Master, the meal is ready!" Jing Mo came out of the kitchen and shouted.
"Yeah." Upon hearing this, Yu Tongchen walked into the dining room.
"Jing Mo, come and help me collect the herbs!" Ziling shouted outside.
"No help!" Jing Mo turned around and left. It was his fault for dropping his own food last time.
After Jing Mo brought the food to the table, he moved a small stool and ate his meal on the side.
"Sir, there is no meat in the kitchen, and the rice is almost gone. I will go out of the valley to buy some tomorrow."
"Well, go get the silver yourself."
"Good son."
When Ziling came back, Jingmo was already full.
"Jing Mo, where is my meal? You didn't leave any for me again, did you?" Ziling said resentfully.
"It's in the pot, get it yourself, and wash the dishes after eating." Jing Mo said, and went to boil water.
Upon hearing this, Ziling happily ran into the kitchen.
Yu Tongchen put the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen and went back to his room to read medical books.
"Host, host~" The Pearl of All Worlds floated down from the roof again.
"explain."
"How about you help me with the mission and I take you to other worlds? Experience all kinds of lives~"
"not so good."
I won’t go if I’m not familiar with the place.
"So what do you want? As long as I can do it, I can get it for you."
"Is there a peerless medical book?" Yu Tongchen asked, picking up the candle wick.
"It's not impossible. Can I find someone who can do the task for you?"
"Find it first." Yu Tongchen pushed it away, "You are blocking my candlelight."
Upon hearing this, Wanjiezhu ran to the corner and looked through the things in his space. After weighing the pros and cons, he finally found a book called "Difficult and Miscellaneous Scriptures".
"Host, take a look."
Wanjiezhu threw the medical book on Yu Tongchen's desk with a rather arrogant tone.
As the candlelight flickered, Yu Tongchen put down the medical book in his hand and picked up the "Difficult and Miscellaneous Classics".
It was indeed a medical book he had never read, and Yu Tongchen became interested.
As I was reading intently, the book in my hand disappeared.
"Host, do you agree to help me with the mission? If you agree, this medical book will be yours."
Yu Tongchen picked up the medical book that had been placed on the table and continued to read it in silence.
"That one book isn't enough, can two be done?"
Yu Tongchen turned a page of the book.
"Three books will do, right?"
Wanjiezhu observed his expression, but remained unmoved.
"Five?"
There's the sound of flipping pages again.
"Ten! No more!"
"Who to protect?" When Wanjiezhu gritted his teeth and was about to say the twentyth book, Yu Tongchen finally spoke.
"She will come over in a while, and you will find out later that she is not a bad person and will not let you do anything that is harmful to the world!"
"How do you know I have the ability to protect others? I'm just a poor doctor." Yu Tongchen said indifferently.
"Someone, ah bah, some god said you can, and it's no good for her to lie to me."
"Oh." Yu Tongchen pinched it, "Where is my medical book?"
"Here you go! Don't break your promise!"
Five medical books fell neatly on the table.
"If you don't do it, I'll take it back. Give me five first."
Yu Tongchen took the "Difficult Scriptures" he had just read and said leisurely: "Once a word is spoken, there is no reason to regret it."
Wanjiezhu breathed a sigh of relief. He finally agreed. Fortunately, he still wanted something, otherwise how long would it take to get it?
Yu Tongchen flicked it away with his finger, "Go away, you're blocking my light again."
Wanjiezhu: ...I'm being disliked again.
"Host, you can talk to me in your heart. If you talk to me like this with someone around, people will think you are crazy."
Fortunately, there is no one here now.
"I'm not that stupid." Yu Tongchen turned a page of the book, "Stop talking, it's noisy."
"Oh."
He disliked it, and hated it as much as the stinky black unicorn.
It was late autumn, with heavy frost and dew in the early morning. The valley was filled with fog and the wind was so cold that people shivered.
Jing Mo drove the carriage out of the valley.
Yu Tongchen carried the medicine basket on his back and went out to collect herbs.
"Master, do you want me to go with you?" Ziling asked.
"No, just put the dried herbs into the medicine cabinet."
"Ok."
"Host, I know where there is ginseng. Do you want me to tell you?"
"what ever."
Wanjiezhu: ...Why doesn't he play by the rules?
"Twenty feet southeast of you, there is a 150-year-old ginseng."
Upon hearing this, Yu Tongchen walked slowly over there and actually dug out a ginseng of the right year.
"It's somewhat useful."
"Of course, I said I was a divine creature."
Near noon, a simple carriage drove into the valley, and then a maid in scarlet clothes lifted the curtain and jumped out. The coachman took out a footstool, and then the maid helped a woman out of the carriage.
The woman was wearing a blue dress, with fair skin, bright eyes, natural green eyebrows, a slender waist, and white wrists as white as snow. She had a quiet temperament, but there was a hint of sickness between her eyebrows.
After the woman got off the car, the driver drove away without any hesitation.
The maid glared at the receding carriage and was about to say something, but the woman held her hand.
She shook her head.
The maid could only swallow her words and knock on the door, "Is Doctor Yu here?"
The maid called out several times before Ziling came out to open the door. "Who is it?"
"Let's go find Dr. Yu."
"The master is out. He's not here."
"Do you know when he will come back?" the woman asked.
"Reply girl, it should be soon."
As soon as Zi Ling finished speaking, Yu Tongchen's voice rang out, "What's the matter?"
When the Pearl of All Worlds saw the woman, it floated excitedly in front of her.
But she couldn't see it.
Yu Tongchen glanced at it, then looked at the woman again.
