My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 269: They Probably Won’t Have the Face to Come!

Yang Qi had originally planned to deal with the Fan Family today. But since the War God King had intervened, he decided to defer to the War God King and offer the Fan Family a chance. After all, the Fan Family wasn’t part of the Kang City Business Alliance and hadn’t participated in carving up his previous company.

"Hahaha..." Fan Shengren suddenly burst into a wild laugh. "Kid, do you really think you’re so important? You think you can use the War God King’s prestige to pressure our Fan Family? Do you know what that’s called? It’s called a dog borrowing its master’s might! The War God King called you a friend to give you face. Did you actually take it seriously?"

"Heh," Yang Qi chuckled. "It seems none of you plan to kneel and apologize. In that case, you can be eradicated along with the Kang City Business Alliance! Don’t worry, I won’t ask Lord War God King for help. He has more important matters to attend to."

Upon hearing this, Fan Shengren laughed. If the War God King were involved, they truly would have had no way out. But this kid actually declared publicly that he wouldn’t ask for the War God King’s help. He certainly had guts. It’s a pity such arrogance will get him killed!

"Without the War God King’s help, you think you can touch the Fan Family and the Kang City Business Alliance? You’re dreaming! Do you think the Kang City Business Alliance is finished just because the Chen and Liang Families are gone? Let me tell you, as long as the Alliance Hierarch of Kang City is alive, the Kang City Business Alliance will not fall. Even my Fan Family wouldn’t dare make an enemy of them! You fool!" Fan Shengren scoffed contemptuously. "So self-important!"

"Believe it or not, after I’ve destroyed the Kang City Business Alliance, your Fan Family is next," Yang Qi’s voice was ice-cold. "I hope you remember that."

"Hahaha, we’ll be waiting! I just hope Lord War God King doesn’t intervene!" Fan Shengren was still afraid of the War God King. With the War God King’s terrifying power, he could crush them with his little finger.

"Rest assured. Since Yang Qi said he doesn’t want my help, I will not intervene lightly," the War God King said. "Besides, I must be leaving soon anyway."

He had actually come today to bid farewell to Yang Qi. War had broken out on the front lines again. Although his treatment wasn’t complete, he had to leave.

Hearing the War God King’s words, Fan Shengren and the others felt a sense of relief. They then departed with their men. The day’s events could only end here; with the War God King present, they couldn’t possibly make a move.

"War God King, let’s go inside and talk," Yang Qi said, inviting the War God King and Xu Tiancheng into the courtyard. They sat down to chat over tea in the garden pavilion.

"As your doctor, I do not recommend you leave now," Yang Qi said, getting straight to the point.

"The nation is in peril, and I must go," the War God King replied with a laugh. "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Yang, but I am no ordinary man. There are some duties I cannot shirk."

Yang Qi sighed. "There is no other way, then. I originally planned to treat you gradually, as I was afraid you wouldn’t be able to bear the pain. Since you must leave, I have to solve the problem all at once. However, this means you will have to endure pain ten times greater than before. No anesthesia. No painkillers. You must remain fully conscious of the agony for the entire process. Can you do it?"

"Hahahaha! Bring it on!" the War God King laughed heartily. He had experienced countless torments on the battlefield; what was there to fear?

Yang Qi nodded and began treating the War God King right there in the courtyard. The pain was so intense that both Xu Tiancheng and Iron Heart found it difficult to watch. Yet, from beginning to end, the War God King did not so much as frown. He simply sipped his tea while receiving the treatment, a feat even more admirable than Guan Gong scraping his own bone to remove poison.

The treatment lasted a full half hour. By the time it was over, Liu Lanxin had collapsed from nervous exhaustion, her heart aching for her husband. Yet, the War God King had not cried out in pain or asked to stop even once.

"The War God King is truly a Divine being," Yang Qi said. "From now on, you just need to take the Elixirs I’ve refined for you. Take them for one continuous month, and you will be completely healed. I have already refined them. I anticipated you might have to leave early, so I came prepared."

"Thank you," the War God King said, deeply grateful. If he had missed this treatment, he might never have had another chance to fully recover. Yang Qi had truly thought of everything, which was deeply admirable.

Just as Yang Qi was about to speak, his phone suddenly rang. He took it out and saw it was an unfamiliar number. He answered it. "The orphanage matron’s sixtieth birthday? I see. I’ll definitely be there."

The call was from his old orphanage. The matron was celebrating her sixtieth birthday, and many people were planning to attend.

Although the matron hadn’t been particularly good to Yang Qi in the past, she hadn’t been bad either. An ordinary birthday would be one thing, but a sixtieth was a major milestone. He felt he should go. He valued old ties, after all. He had been with the matron for as long as he could remember and truly thought of her as a mother. She had many flaws, but she had still done her best for every child in her care.

"Well, Mr. Yang, you seem to have things to do, so we won’t disturb you any longer. We’ll be on our way," the War God King said, rising to his feet with a smile.

"Alright. Remember to take your medicine on time," Yang Qi said with a smile. "The Dragon Country needs a healthy War God King."

"Of course," the War God King smiled, then turned and left.

Xu Tiancheng departed as well. He hadn’t come for any particular reason, just to see how Yang Qi was doing, and hadn’t expected to walk into such a situation.

After seeing his guests out, Yang Qi entered the Alchemy Room and refined a Longevity Pill. This particular Elixir could extend one’s lifespan, making it a perfect gift for an elder. I just don’t know if the matron will even appreciate it. Of course, in addition to this gift, Yang Qi also prepared a generous sum of money.

On the day of the birthday celebration, the Liu Family residence in a suburb of Kang City was festooned with lanterns and decorations, bustling with exceptional liveliness for Old Lady Liu’s sixtieth birthday.

Many people had already arrived, most of whom were the children Old Lady Liu had cared for when she was the orphanage matron. Her whole family was beaming with joy, remarking that good deeds are rewarded. She had been kind to the children, and now they were all eager to show their gratitude.

"Matron, you should change into this dress I bought for you. It cost over a thousand yuan! You’ll look so vibrant in it. I married Zhang Chao, you know. He’s doing quite well for himself now—he’s a government official in our county. I work as an accountant there, too. If you ever need anything, just let us know."

The flamboyantly dressed woman sitting next to Old Lady Liu was named Mao Fang. Back in the orphanage, she had been considered quite a beauty. Yang Qi had even pursued her once, but he was just a little kid back then who didn’t know any better, and she had flatly rejected him. Despite her eager offers, Mao Fang never actually helped anyone who asked; she was all talk. While the other former orphans were busy helping out—sweeping floors and assisting in the kitchen—she was the only one sitting there, cracking sunflower seeds and bragging endlessly about the expensive dress she had bought.

"Why isn’t Yang Qi here yet?" someone suddenly asked. "Was he not notified?"

Mao Fang scoffed. "He was notified. I told him myself. But I doubt that kid will show up. His company went bankrupt, and he nearly went to jail. He’s probably too ashamed to come!"
