Chapter 20 It's Not That Simple

"You can't heal anything! Don't think I don't know you have ulterior motives. The moment you lift your ass, I know what you're up to! Go, get me a doctor!" Wu Li yelled.

Chen Jie didn't get angry. Instead, he said, "Your neck is sprained. Even if a doctor comes, it won't do much. This kind of self-limiting condition needs to recover on its own. As for me, I can make you completely normal within ten minutes."

"Can you really heal?" Wu Li asked suspiciously.

Her neck was hurting badly, and she did want to recover quickly.

"Of course. Don't forget, I saved Uncle Jiang's life!" Chen Jie said.

"Hmph, don't think I don't know. That was all thanks to the Green Hemp Ghost Hand! You just got lucky. But since you say you can heal it, I'll give you a chance. If you can't, you get out of our house immediately!"

Wu Li naturally wouldn't admit Chen Jie's medical skills, but she grudgingly said, "Heal it now! I want to see what you're capable of!"

"Then sit still!" Chen Jie said.

Wu Li sat on the sofa with a cold smile. "Go ahead!"

Chen Jie walked in front of her and suddenly slapped her across the face.

With a crisp *snap*.

Wu Li exploded, "You bastard, you dare to hit me? You've gone too far! I'll kill you, ah..."

Wu Li lunged at Chen Jie.

But Chen Jie calmly said, "Don't rush. Feel your neck. Is it much more comfortable? Is your head no longer tilted?"

Wu Li froze.

It was true, it felt much better than before.

"Since you don't want to be treated, then I won't treat you anymore." Chen Jie made to leave.

"Wait! Treat it, I want it treated! Kid, continue!" Wu Li quickly called out.

"You said it yourself. Don't say I bullied you after I heal you!" Chen Jie said indifferently.

Wu Li roared, "What's with all the nonsense, the nagging! Heal it if I tell you to, or I'll kick you out right now!"

*Slap!*

Chen Jie slapped her again. Wu Li felt a burning sensation on her face, but her neck genuinely felt much better.

"Again!" Wu Li gritted her teeth.

*Slap, slap, slap...*

After several slaps, Wu Li felt a strange sense of addiction, constantly urging Chen Jie to continue.

A while later, Chen Jie stopped.

Wu Li blinked, touched her neck, and miraculously discovered that it didn't hurt at all anymore.

"Since you can heal my neck, can you also heal the scars on my body?" Wu Li said, as if remembering something.

Chen Jie nodded. "That's natural. These minor injuries are nothing to me. I just need to write you a prescription, and within three days, they'll all be as good as new."

"Then what are you waiting for? Write out the prescription for me immediately!" Wu Li commanded.

"Alright, get me paper and a pen!"

Soon, Wu Li found paper and a pen for Chen Jie.

Chen Jie then wrote out a prescription.

Wu Li looked at it vigilantly for a moment and said, "I know this Panax Notoginseng, but what are 'Qi Ma Bu' and 'Ren Zhong Huang'?"

Chen Jie said, "Sanitary pads, and fresh human feces."

Wu Li flew into a rage. "You little beast, you're playing with me?"

Chen Jie retorted, "Whether I'm playing with you or not, you'll know when you try it. If you doubt it, you don't have to use it! After all, you're the one who'll be left with scars, not me!"

"Are you saying this medicine can remove my scars?" Wu Li asked doubtfully.

The wounds on her body were too deep. Even if they healed, she would surely be covered in scars. Therefore, a scar-removing prescription was incredibly tempting to her.

Seeing Chen Jie nod in confirmation, Wu Li warned again, "You little beast, I'll trust you this one time. But if you dare to lie to me, I won't let you off!"

Chen Jie rolled his eyes.

The prescription he wrote would naturally achieve the effects he claimed.

In reality, Chen Jie could have directly used the spiritual energy within him to heal Wu Li's wounds in one go.

But doing so would not have served the purpose of punishing Wu Li.

He no longer paid attention to Wu Li and walked upstairs, leaving her to decide whether to treat it or not.

"Wait up!" Wu Li called out to Chen Jie and hurried towards the bedroom.

Just as Chen Jie thought she might have a change of heart and wanted to thank him, he saw her carrying a set of blood-stained clothes she had changed out of and throwing them at his feet.

"I'm going to get the medicine. Wash these clothes for me. They're all from expensive brands. You must wash them by hand and be careful. If you ruin them, even selling you wouldn't be enough to pay for them!"

Wu Li threw down the clothes and walked out with the prescription.

Chen Jie didn't even look at the clothes and went upstairs, entering the bedroom Jiang Long had prepared for him.

*Hmph! The Zhou family, in three days, it will be your day of mourning!*

Chen Jie sat down cross-legged, calmed his mind, and began to cultivate.

The skills his master had taught him were indeed enough to make him stand tall in the world. However, after finding the immortal cultivation manual at the bottom of the sea, he knew he was only just getting started.

Jiang Long's villa was located in a somewhat secluded area with few neighbors.

As Chen Jie began to cultivate, he discovered that the spiritual energy around was much denser than in the bustling city, making it an excellent place for cultivation.

Therefore, he decided to spend these three days cultivating diligently at Jiang Long's house. In three days, he would go to the Zhou family and take Zhou Renyi's life!

After Jiang Long left home, he went around inquiring about the Zhou family's movements.

He returned tiredly only at night.

Wang Corporation, the North and South Elders returned to Wang Xiaoyan's side.

In the office, the North and South Elders said to Wang Xiaoyan, "Miss Wang, we're back!"

Wang Xiaoyan nodded and asked, "How did it go?"

The North and South Elders exchanged glances, then shook their heads in disappointment. "Miss Wang, to our surprise, after returning to the Jiang family, Chen Jie became a turtle hiding in its shell and has not left the villa."

"As for Jiang Long, he spent the entire day helping Chen Jie inquire about the Zhou family's attitude."

Wang Xiaoyan's gaze sharpened.

Such a major event, and even she couldn't remain calm. How could this Chen Jie act as if nothing had happened?

The North and South Elders said sarcastically, "Jiang Long has a low status in the Jiang family, even lower than a third-rate small family. How can he withstand the Jiang family's wrath?"

"Chen Jie is hiding in Jiang Long's house, relying on Jiang Long. Not only will he not solve any problems, but he will also bring disaster to Jiang Long's family."

"Miss, I think you need to reconsider your engagement with Chen Jie. He has clearly given up. He's certain to die in three days."

"This person acts without considering the consequences and drags those around him down. He has also offended Young Master Ye on our behalf."

"Miss, is it really worth it for you to protect him like this?"

Wang Xiaoyan pondered for a moment and said, "I don't think he has given up. You two, continue to keep an eye on him."

The North and South Elders looked confused. "Miss, even if Chen Jie can survive the Zhou family's wrath, Young Master Ye won't let him go. Isn't the price too high for you to do this?"

Wang Xiaoyan's expression turned cold. "Don't look at people through a crack in the door. Chen Jie is not as simple as you imagine."
