Chapter 296 I Agree to This Marriage
...
In just a few years, many elderly people have passed away, so the number of old men and women coming to Bear for treatment has gradually decreased. In addition, Big Bear has become more and more proficient in using the ability of the Meatball Fruit, so the treatment soon came to an end.
...
"Mother-in-law, and everyone else, please be safe on your way home. Bye, and remember to come for treatment on time next week!"
After waving goodbye to the old man, Bear and Ginny closed the door and returned to the house.
The bear walked straight towards the big red bear paw bubble floating in the air. Feeling that Ginny was getting a little depressed, he turned around and smiled to comfort her:
"It's okay, Ginny. My body has become much stronger over the past few years. This little pain is nothing to me now!"
"Stupid, is this something to be happy about?"
Ginny said distressedly.
"Hehehe."
The scolded bear could only touch his head and smile foolishly. Then he took a few deep breaths and put his hands directly into the red bubble.
"Uh-huh~!"
Even though he had repeated this action hundreds of times, and even though his physical strength had greatly improved over the years, the accumulated pain still made Xiong groan.
"Ahhhh~!"
The bear had a ferocious face, his teeth were clenched, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Ginny's eyes were wet and she bit her lower lip. She sat on the ground with her legs hugged and buried her head in her knees, unwilling to see the suffering big bear.
"Crack!"
The red bubbles in the room began to slowly shrink until they disappeared.
“Hoo~! Hoo! Hoo!”
The sweaty bear fell heavily to the ground, panting. Ginny quickly stood up, helped him to the bed, and then began to wipe the sweat and blood off his face skillfully.
After a long while, the bear finally recovered and opened his eyes.
"You always choose to bear these "pains" silently by yourself. They will never know that you have to pay a price for treating them!"
Ginny said as she wrung out the towel.
"It's okay. This should help everyone. As long as I see the happy smiles on everyone's faces, I'll be very happy!"
The bear said with a smile.
"You are such a hopeless idiot!"
Ginny said helplessly, she couldn't bear to continue scolding him seeing him like that.
"Hehe, I'm sorry to have made you worry again. By the way, Ginny, let's have dinner! Everyone brought a lot of food today!"
Xiong endured the pain, sat up and smiled.
"Great!"
Ginny was as happy as a child when she heard about eating.
For her, no matter how hard or tiring life is, as long as she can still eat, it is something worth celebrating!
"Wow! There are sandwiches!"
"Ooooooooooo!"
Ginny began to eat with big mouthfuls, her eyes narrowed into two corners, her face full of happiness.
"Delicious! Delicious! There is probably no food in the world more delicious than a sandwich! Bear cub, come and eat it too."
"Ok."
The two of them ate happily together. Ginny had a slim figure but an amazing appetite. She stuffed her cheeks like a hamster, but her hands were still busy putting food into her mouth.
"Ginny, I'll give you the last piece. I'm full."
The bear pushed the last sandwich in front of Ginny, then picked up the teacup and pretended to drink the tea, as if he was really full.
...
"Xiong cub, how about we get married?"
Ginny said as she looked at the last sandwich.
"Pfft! What? Getting married?"
The big bear, who had been very calm until now, was so scared that he spat out a mouthful of water.
"Yeah! Come get married you boy!"
"No, no! Absolutely not!"
The bear shook his head and waved his hands subconsciously.
"Why not! Don't you like me? Wouldn't it be happy to marry someone you love?"
Ginny said unhappily.
"Although I also think that marrying you, Ginny, will definitely make me happy...but...it's just..."
Xiong frowned, and his mind couldn't help but think of the tragic end of his parents. The blood of the Bakannia tribe was too dangerous and had brought unfortunate disaster to their entire family. He didn't want his loved ones to be implicated again.
"Ginny! I…"
"I agree to this marriage!!"
With a clang, the church door was opened and a black-haired young man strode in with his hands in his pockets.
Behind the young man were two tall giants, who looked very dangerous.
Xiong quickly stood up and put Ginny behind him, looking at the three uninvited guests with a serious expression.
"Assholes! Who are you guys? Why did you suddenly break into someone else's house?!"
The hot-tempered Ginny did not hide behind the big bear. She jumped out directly, pointed at Ger's nose and cursed loudly.
"Huh? Isn't this a church? Aren't religious buildings public places? How did it become your home? It's obviously you who illegally occupied this church! Do you understand the law?"
Gel looked at the beautiful and sharp-tongued woman in front of him, and fought back without giving in.
"You, you! You still think you're right? Bear, come on! Shoot them away!"
Unexpectedly, she met someone so sharp-tongued today. Ginny couldn't argue with him, so she decided to talk less and take action instead.
"What are you doing? Please get out!"
The kind-hearted Big Bear did not take direct action, but was prepared to solve the problem through communication.
"Haha, Captain, is this the guy you're looking for? He looks good, but he seems a little weak!"
Barrett looked at the big man blocking his way and grinned.
Gel nodded. The 24-year-old Big Bear had indeed wasted some time in the early stages.
After escaping from the Valley of the Gods, Xiong had hardly ever practiced for combat, let alone actual combat, except for developing his fruit abilities when treating elderly people and training his body's ability to withstand blows when absorbing damage.
In terms of combat, it can be said that he completely relies on the innate divine power of the Bakanni people and the incredible ability of the Meat-ball Fruit. It is more than enough to deal with ordinary people, but for Barrett, who has now mastered the three colors of domineering, he is indeed too weak. The big bear who lacks combat experience has almost no chance of winning, and he may be defeated immediately once the effect of the Meat-ball Fruit is figured out.
Ginny herself is not very strong in combat, but she has a talent for gathering intelligence. Kamisama eavesdropped on important intelligence and learned that the prize was a devil fruit and its specific abilities. Based on this, she formulated an escape plan and revealed the information to the pirates. Ginny played a very important role in the whole process.
"This guy! Who is it?!"
Douglas Barrett??
So when she saw the appearance of the two big guys behind Geer, she was shocked and quickly changed her strategy and shouted loudly.
"Bear, let's run! These guys are ferocious pirates!! They are real monsters! We are no match for them!"
"Hehehe! Bear! Ginny! Don't be afraid, they are not enemies! Look who's back! Hehe!"
Just as the two were about to run away, Ivankov, who was hiding behind, jumped out and stopped them.
