Life is but a nightmare

Chapter 88 Sending Zhou Xuan Home

The next morning, Zhou Xuan concluded his night of cultivation.

Just as before, he felt his progress had weakened during his cultivation last night.

However, he couldn't figure out what the problem was.

Putting the matter aside, Zhou Xuan got up, washed up, and headed straight for the Lu family's main hall.

There, he found Lu Mingyuan, who had also just woken up and was preparing for breakfast.

He then recounted his actions from the previous night to him in detail.

Upon hearing Zhou Xuan's account, Lu Mingyuan was surprisingly not too surprised.

He simply agreed to find someone to handle the aftermath with the Zhao family,

and to arrange for the media to build momentum for Black Tiger.

After the two had finished discussing, Lu Linxiao and Lu Ling'er arrived at the hall.

After the four of them had breakfast together, Zhou Xuan headed directly to the Treasure Medicine Pavilion.

Yesterday's events with the Zhao family had caused a day's delay, and today he still had to go to work as usual!

The taxi sped along, and in a short while, Zhou Xuan arrived outside the Treasure Medicine Pavilion.

As Zhou Xuan entered the pavilion, he was almost stunned by the scene before him.

While there were usually quite a few customers in the Treasure Medicine Pavilion, there had never been as many as today.

All the spots within the entire pavilion were basically filled.

Even in front of his own Zhou's Pharmacy, there was a scene of a sea of people.

Zhou Xuan even saw several burly men arguing over positions.

They were standing inside the shop, verbally abusing each other's ancestors.

"Boss, you're finally here!"

"You have no idea!"

"How many people came looking for you to treat their illnesses today!"

"If you didn't come any sooner, I'm afraid our pharmacy's sign would have been torn down!"

Just as Zhou Xuan was marveling at the massive crowd before him,

Xu Ying, who was standing by the pharmacy's sign calming the patients' emotions, suddenly acted as if she had seen a savior.

She immediately squeezed through the crowd, grabbed Zhou Xuan, and pulled him towards the pharmacy.

"Everyone, I'm sure you've all seen him yesterday!"

"This is our Zhou's Pharmacy's miracle doctor, Mr. Zhou Xuan!"

"If you have any difficult or intractable diseases, or illnesses that cannot be cured, you can tell him!"

"Our miracle doctor will help you solve them all!"

"But please line up and come one by one!"

Zhou Xuan, pulled to the front of the pharmacy by Xu Ying, hadn't even recovered from the shock yet.

He heard Xu Ying on the other side already introducing him to the onlookers.

However, it wasn't a problem to make an introduction, but couldn't she be a little less boastful!

When Zhou Xuan heard Xu Ying telling these guests that he could cure any difficult or intractable disease,

he wished he could just pick up this little girl and spank her!

"Damn it, if you're going to brag, why drag me into it!"

"I'm just a doctor, not the turtle in the Wishing Pond!"

"How can it be that if you say it can be cured, it can be cured!"

"What if I really encounter an unprecedented intractable disease that I can't treat!"

"Wouldn't that be a huge loss of face!"

However, it was clear that the guests present couldn't hear Zhou Xuan's inner thoughts.

After Xu Ying's introduction,

some of the curious onlookers who had participated in the trial drug conference yesterday began to shout wildly.

"Miracle doctor, can my congenital hereditary heart disease be cured?"

"I have a seven-year-old cerebral thrombosis!"

"My kidney function is depleted!"

"My diabetes..."

Listening to the shouts, each louder than the last, one might have thought these people weren't sick, but had taken drugs!

"Everyone, please don't be anxious!"

"As our beautiful young lady said, please line up!"

"I will treat you one by one!"

Seeing the emotions of the crowd growing more intense, Zhou Xuan had to speak to appease them.

After finally calming them down, Zhou Xuan began to treat their illnesses.

Time slowly passed with the consultation and treatment of each patient.

"Your Yin fire is too strong, leading to weakened kidney qi!"

"I have already used acupuncture to expel the Yin fire from your body!"

"Now, I will write you a prescription!"

"Take the herbs from the medicine cabinet next to you according to this prescription!"

"After drinking it continuously for a month, your kidney deficiency will be cured!"

"Thank you, miracle doctor, thank you, miracle doctor!"

"I already feel much better after your treatment!"

"I will definitely have someone customize a banner tomorrow to thank you for saving my life!"

"After I go back this time, let's see if that tigress dares to give me the cold shoulder again!"

At dusk, a haggard-looking middle-aged man in the Treasure Medicine Pavilion,

after offering a thousand thanks to Zhou Xuan, left with a joyful heart.

Watching the man walk out of the pavilion, Zhou Xuan, who had been busy treating patients, finally let out a slow sigh of relief.

"How is it, boss!"

"Are you satisfied with this booming business!"

"I clearly remember someone complaining about not having customers a few days ago!"

"Why do you look so exhausted now!"

"Could it be that you're also suffering from kidney depletion like that guest just now!"

"Little girl, if you think your work is too leisurely!"

"Then keep talking!"

"I guarantee you'll have a hard time tomorrow!"

Hearing Xu Ying's teasing voice from the side, Zhou Xuan gave her a threat in annoyance.

Whether it was because he had been treating patients all day or because he hadn't rested for several days,

Zhou Xuan felt exceptionally tired.

This fatigue was so great that he didn't even have the strength to bicker with Xu Ying.

"Hmph!"

"Damn capitalist!"

"Only knows how to bully working people!"

"Alright, it looks like there are no more customers for today!"

"Boss, shouldn't we also get off work and go home!"

"You go back first!"

"I'm a bit tired and want to rest!"

Hearing Xu Ying's words, Zhou Xuan rubbed his forehead wearily, just about to get up.

But his legs suddenly went weak, and he slumped back onto the boss's chair.

Helplessly, Zhou Xuan could only ask Xu Ying to leave first.

He himself would rest on the chair for a while before returning to the Lu family.

"You fellow, why do you push yourself so hard!"

"Making yourself so weak now!"

"Forget it, considering that if you die, no one will pay me anymore!"

"This young lady will reluctantly take you back home!"

"Where do you live?"

Looking at Zhou Xuan's extremely weak appearance, a trace of imperceptible heartache flashed across Xu Ying's small face.

She then stepped forward, helped Zhou Xuan up, walked outside the Treasure Medicine Pavilion, hailed a taxi, and was about to send Zhou Xuan home.

"Forget it, my girlfriend is still waiting for me at home!"

"If she sees a strange beautiful woman sending me back, she'll definitely be jealous again!"

Sensing Xu Ying's actions, Zhou Xuan immediately tried to stop her.

And he prepared to muster up his strength and break free from Xu Ying's embrace.

However, before he could take action, Xu Ying on the side increased her support.

She pulled Zhou Xuan's head over, leaning it against her proud bosom!

"Stop the nonsense, no one can defy what this young lady decides!"

"Driver, drive!"

"Coincidentally, I also want to meet your so-called girlfriend!"

"I want to see what kind of woman it is that makes you so captivated!"

"And caused you to reject my confession because of her!"
