Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law-Chapter 701 - 704: Tsk

Just as Swallow Li was getting into the swing of his crying, Old Deng, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly sat up. Looking at Swallow Li, he used all his strength to say, "Shut up! I'm not dead, just poisoned!"

"And if you dare pull a stunt like this again, once I'm better, I'll definitely cripple your legs!"

Having said that, Old Deng fell back, unconscious.

Swallow Li blinked, then quickly gathered up the white cloth. He reached down, hoisted Old Deng onto his shoulder, and started walking toward his own home.

As he walked, he muttered, "Old Deng, Old Deng, I never thought you'd see a day like this. The goose hunter finally gets his eye pecked by a goose. The best part? This particular bird is my own disciple, tsk tsk! Such a shame!"

While talking, Swallow Li had already left Liu Ergou's house and was heading straight for his own.

By this time, Liu Ergou had already arrived at the village entrance. He saw Lang Yu standing there, quietly watching the direction he had come from. When Lang Yu spotted Liu Ergou, he waved.

Liu Ergou immediately quickened his pace and stood before Lang Yu.

Looking at him, Liu Ergou said coldly, "What do you want with me, Lang?"

"If I remember correctly, we barely know each other. We've only met once. Don't tell me you couldn't forget me after just one meeting!" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Hearing this, Lang Yu was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. "Hahaha, Brother Ergou, you certainly have a way with words, humorous as ever! Don't worry, I'm not into men; I like women."

"I just came to tell you something," Lang Yu continued, his face a mask of sincerity. "I was going to call, but the matter is too important, so I figured it was best to come in person. It won't take up much of your time."

If it were anyone else, they might have believed him right away. But Liu Ergou didn't trust Lang Yu one bit. After all, Ning Hua had warned him that while this guy looked like a good person, he was actually black-hearted to the core. Anyone who dared believe him might just get themselves killed. So Liu Ergou was exceptionally wary of him.

"Is that so? Then I really must thank you!" Liu Ergou said with pointed emphasis.

Lang Yu understood the hidden meaning in his words but didn't get angry. Instead, he continued, "I know you don't trust me, but this concerns your life."

"Brother Ergou, did you know that someone has put a price on your head and hired my master to take you out?"

When Liu Ergou heard this, his expression remained unchanged. The news didn't mean much to him; he knew he'd offended many people. It would be stranger if no one had put a bounty on his head. So he just nodded indifferently and said, "Oh."

Seeing Liu Ergou's unfazed reaction, Lang Yu didn't press the issue. He casually brought up another matter.

"It seems the idea of someone putting a price on your life is nothing new to you, Brother Ergou. In that case, let me tell you something else. I'm sure this will get your attention."

"Want to increase your strength quickly?"

"If you do, come find me."

After saying this, Lang Yu suddenly flicked his hand toward Liu Ergou. A whooshing sound cut through the air, heading straight for Liu Ergou's chest. With lightning-fast reflexes, Liu Ergou snatched it out of the air. Looking closely, he found he was pinching a gold-embossed business card between his fingers. The card prominently displayed Lang Yu's phone number and address.

Seeing that Liu Ergou had caught his card, Lang Yu's eyes lit up with delight. However, he didn't say anything more. He simply cupped his fists at Liu Ergou, turned around, and left.

Lang Yu's departure was so abrupt it left Liu Ergou incredulous. He came all this way and left just like that? Just to tell me two things? What on earth did he mean?

This sent Liu Ergou into deep thought. After pondering for a good while, he still couldn't figure out Lang Yu's intentions. Nevertheless, he didn't throw away the business card. He pocketed it and turned back toward his home.

On the way, the image of Lang Yu flicking the card at him flashed through his mind again. Thinking of this, Liu Ergou raised his hand and glanced at the fingers that had caught the card. He saw that the skin on his finger had been broken.

One had to remember that Liu Ergou was now in the Houtian Realm. To injure him, one would need to be at least at the Huajin level. This meant Lang Yu's strength was at least at the Huajin level; it was very likely he was in the same realm as Liu Ergou himself. But Lang Yu's age... he was so young.

Mulling this over, Liu Ergou continued walking and arrived home in a few minutes.

Ning Hua was waiting at his house. The moment she saw him return, she rushed over. "Er Gou, you're back! What did that Lang Yu want with you?" she asked anxiously.

Liu Ergou didn't hide anything. "Nothing much. He told me two things. First, that someone hired his master to kill me. Second, he said if I want to improve my strength quickly, I should go find him in the city. He even gave me his business card and gave me a little demonstration of his power. That's it, just those two things."

Hearing this, Ning Hua fell silent. After a long moment, she finally spoke. "To show such courtesy for no reason means he's up to no good. He's either a swindler or a thief!"

"Ever since Lang Yu appeared on the scene, I've never heard anything good about him. Who knows what he's plotting this time. As for that second thing about rapidly increasing your strength, I wouldn't believe it in a million years!"

At this, Liu Ergou asked, confused, "Senior Sister, why do you say that? What if Lang Yu has some kind of heavenly treasure? You know, like in the novels, where someone eats a Zhu Fruit and becomes an immortal on the spot."

His words earned him a huge eye-roll from Ning Hua.

"Immortal on the spot? That's not a Zhu Fruit you'd be eating, that's a poisonous mushroom! Besides, even if heavenly treasures do exist, who are you to him? Why would he give one to you? Did he take a fancy to your muscles or something?"

As she spoke, Ning Hua poked Liu Ergou's pectoral muscles with a look of disdain. But despite the look in her eyes, she seemed to be enjoying herself immensely. After a few pokes, apparently not satisfied, she reached out and grabbed them.
