Chapter 409 - Arrogance

Everyone stood there without responding.

Li Yan’s voice deepened. “Didn’t you hear Luoluo?”

Lu Feng was the first to react. He quickly said to his wife and another woman, “Honey and Mrs. Chen, you two stay.”

After saying that, he walked over and carried the shaman out on his shoulders.

The moment the door closed, the view in the bedroom was blocked out.

The group of people standing outside the door looked at each other.

Lu Feng quickly brought over a long stool and placed it beside Li Yan. “Mr…. Mr. Li, please sit.”

After saying that, he was still a little perturbed. He had a nagging feeling that this person was completely different from the person who had drunk with him yesterday. The aura on his body made him not dare to look him in the eye.

Li Yan walked over and sat down.

Lu Feng heaved an obvious sigh of relief.

With Li Yan around, no one dared to speak, but they were too curious. They wanted to know who they were, especially his wife. How could she be so powerful?

The man standing beside Lu Feng nudged him with his elbow and gestured for him to ask.

Lu Feng hesitated for a while before asking, “Mr. Li, um… can I ask you a question?”

After asking that, he felt uneasy again. He had a nagging feeling that the man in front of him definitely wouldn’t be as amiable as he had been last night.

“Ask.”

“Erm, who exactly are you and your wife?”

“My wife is a doctor.” At this point, Li Yan tilted his head to look at the shaman with a dark expression and continued, “In this world, if even she can’t cure an illness, even if you hired ten or eight people like her, it’s impossible to cure that person.”

“May I ask where you’re from?”

“Imperial Capital.”

The moment Li Yan mentioned the capital, Lu Feng’s expression changed drastically. He seemed to have guessed something and asked, “Then are you, like what you said last night, a jade merchant?”

“Yes, I’m a businessman.”

“You… you’re really here to buy jade raw materials?”

“No, we’re here to look for someone.”

Lu Feng was suddenly silent for a while before asking, “Who are you looking for?”

“The people who disappeared in the desert.”

“Could it be… Could it be that some of them are your men?”

“Yes.”

This time, Lu Feng shut his mouth and stopped talking. However, his expression was especially complicated.

Since Lu Feng didn’t ask, Li Yan couldn’t be bothered to say anything else. He sat there and waited for Chu Luo to come out.

Time passed by slowly. The few people standing there craned their necks and stared at the door several times. They felt like their eyes were about to pierce through.

After about an hour, the door to the inner room opened.

Chu Luo was the first to walk out, followed by Mrs. Zhang and two other women.

Chu Luo said to her, “After you buy the herbs using the prescription I gave you , boil them and soak your feet for half an hour in it every night. You’ll have to take a medicinal bath at least once a week. Also, make more nourishing soup to drink. At most, by the spring of next year, all your illnesses will be cured.”

“Okay, okay, okay.” In the hearts of Mrs. Zhang and the other two women, Chu Luo was a divine doctor.

Mrs. Zhang asked, “Doctor Chu, then can I work on the farm later?”

She was born in a village and definitely wouldn’t be willing to have others support her as a cripple. Moreover, her man…

At the thought of this, Mrs. Zhang suddenly felt sad and tears rolled down her face.

“You can.”

Chu Luo said, “It’s fine to do some chores and farm.”

“Okay, okay, okay. That’s all that matters now. At least I can reduce my husband’s burden a little.”

The moment Mrs. Zhang finished speaking, the other three women’s eyes welled up.

They felt that Mrs. Zhang had suffered too great a blow after hearing that her man had gone missing.

Chu Luo glanced at them and snapped her fingers. Shaman Meng, who had been standing there like a wooden stake, could finally move and speak.

The moment she opened her mouth, she shouted angrily, “Alright, you people. How dare you treat me like this. When I go back, I’ll definitely let XX Immortal punish you! Especially you!”

As she spoke, she gritted her teeth and pointed at Chu Luo, wanting to eat her up.

After saying that, she wanted to walk out of the door.

Lu Feng grabbed her collar and said with a fierce expression, “How does a shaman like you want to deal with the divine doctor? Let me tell you, Mrs. Li was the one who cured Mrs. Zhang today. If you dare to go out and spout nonsense, be careful that I won’t let you off.”

“How dare you!”

Shaman Meng was so angry that her face turned ashen. She even said sternly, “Why don’t you ask around? I, Shaman Meng, am famous in the surrounding villages. With a word from me, I’ll make all of you outsiders get lost from here.”

“Pfft, I’ve seen arrogant people before, but not someone as arrogant as you. What do you want us to do?”

Chu Luo walked up to her and fed her a pill.

Before she could react, the shaman felt something go down her throat.

Her expression changed drastically and she quickly covered her mouth to retch.

“I advise you not to waste your energy. The pill melts when it comes into contact with water. It’s already melted in your throat.”

“What medicine did you feed me!”

“Medicines that make you unable to posture in the future.”

After Chu Luo finished speaking, she kindly reminded her, “You better walk and jump more while you can. Otherwise, when you can’t move, you won’t be able to feel this feeling of being able to walk and jump anymore.”

“You… you think I’ll believe you!”

After saying that, she strode out of the door. As she walked, she hurled vulgarities.

How could Li Yan let this person scold his wife? He picked up the bowl they had poured him and threw it at her.

Dong!

Bang!

“Ouch ~ ~ ~”

Looking at the shaman lying outside the door, not only were the people in the room shocked, but even the people guarding the courtyard were stunned.

“Ouch! You’re killing me!”

Shaman Meng screamed in pain. Everyone outside the courtyard gate respected her very much. They rushed in like bees to help her up and criticized the people inside.

“How dare you hit Shaman Meng! Are you tired of living!”

“Shaman Meng is a living Bodhisattva chosen by XX Immortal. If you dare to hit her, I’ll fight you to the death!”

…

“I was the one who hit her.”

Li Yan and Chu Luo walked out at the same time.

At this moment, Li Yan’s vicious aura shocked those people until they subconsciously took a few steps back.

“You, you, you, you… who are you?”

“Don’t worry about who he is. I’ll let you see what kind of person this shaman you respect is.”

After Chu Luo finished speaking, she snapped her fingers and Shaman Meng, who had just been helped up, suddenly struggled free from the person supporting her. She looked up and laughed like she had gone crazy.

Then, as if no one was around, she mocked and ridiculed, “You bunch of idiots, I’ve only used the divine artifact that an expert gave me to create some poisonous fog from time to time to make you guys fall ill. In the end, only I can cure you. Wouldn’t you people have to treat me like a god?”

“And you stupid people, do you know why the families of those who came to beg me can only live to 70 years old at most? That’s because my divine artifact needs to borrow your lives, wahahaha…”

“Ha!”

Everyone was frightened by her words and couldn’t help but think deeply. This was simply terrifying.

They were especially convinced of Shaman Meng’s abilities and would go to her for help, be it a big matter or a small matter. It could be said that there weren’t many people in the surrounding villages who hadn’t asked her for help before.

“If you still don’t believe me, you can go take a look at the bowl enshrined in her house. Use a magnifying glass to see how many years each of you can live.”

When Chu Luo finished speaking, everyone’s expressions changed drastically. Two of the men turned around and ran out. Then, everyone ran out.

Even Lu Feng and the others followed.

It concerned how long they could live. Everyone was anxious.

While waiting for the group to return, Chu Luo and Li Yan stood in the courtyard and watched as Shaman Meng ranted.

The first to return were Lu Feng and the others from the four families.

Lu Feng said, “There’s really something on it.”

After saying that, he looked at Chu Luo differently. He asked, “Mrs. Li, can I ask what exactly you do? Why do you know so much?”

“Have you heard of the Metaphysics Society?”

“I’ve heard of it. I heard that the people inside are all experts.”

“I’m from the Metaphysics Society.”

“Ah!”

When they heard this, they actually knelt down and kowtowed to Chu Luo.

Chu Luo said, “There’s no need to kowtow. We came here this time to look for friends in the desert. If you trust me, you can be our guide. But don’t worry, I promise that whoever follows will definitely be able to come back.”

Li Yan added, “I’ll pay 50 million yuan to whoever leads the way. I’ll pay when we leave.”

50 million yuan was a sky-high price for these people.

The three men looked tempted and hesitant.

Li Yan glanced at them. “But those who go over have to have the ability to sense when the sandstorm will come and also find a place to hide in advance.”

The three of them looked at each other. In the end, Lu Feng stood up and said, “I’ll go.”

Mrs. Lu panicked. “Lu Feng, you…”

“Honey, I have to find Brother Zhang. He helped our family before. We have to help them this time.”

Mrs. Lu didn’t say anything else.

Although the other two men were tempted, they still didn’t feel confident about this matter. What if they couldn’t come back? Therefore, once Lu Feng stood up, they didn’t say anything else.

Since this matter was confirmed, Chu Luo and Li Yan prepared to go back.

The few of them quickly sent the two of them out.

“I still don’t know where you two live.”

“East of the village.”

When Chu Luo said that, everyone was shocked.

The entire east side of the village had been bought by someone. They knew that the people there seemed to be powerful characters, so everyone unanimously didn’t go there again.

They didn’t expect the two of them to live there. In that case, their identities definitely weren’t simple.
