The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1128 - 1127: Exchanging Benefits

"May I ask what illness my son is suffering from? Could the Divine Doctor offer some guidance?"Mr. Wen only knew that Wen Lei had become impotent, but he wasn't clear on the specifics.

Since each profession has its specialization, it was better for Tang Rao to explain.

"Your son suffers from a hidden illness, coupled with a potent poison. It's hard to imagine a cure this time."

Tang Rao wasn't just boasting to scare Mr. Wen.

"Your son's condition will deteriorate rapidly; even biochemical changes will cause it to vanish without pain or notice. It's hard to say whether your son is just unlucky or if someone desires to extinguish your family line."

Sigh.

He let out a sigh, his words growing more compelling.

"No, my son cannot come to harm, and neither can the descendants of my family."

Mr. Wen was so frightened he broke into a cold sweat.

If they worked so hard to raise Wen Lei, only for him to be useless, what then?

"I'm merely saying it's a possibility. Fortunately, I discovered it in time; the illness hasn't reached an incurable stage yet."

Tang Rao left them hanging, wanting Mr. Wen to make an offer first.

"Then, can you save my son right now?"

As long as there was hope, Mr. Wen was willing to pay any price.

Tang Rao pondered that while performing such a good deed, besides asking for a list, he might also request something from Mr. Wen.

"Saving a life requires the expenditure of Divine Power. I am but a minor deity; every bit of Divine Power is hard-earned. To save your son, an immense amount of Divine Power would be required, a burden I may not be able to bear."

The negotiation began; his expression had to be perfect, without a single flaw, as this concerned Tang Rao's future.

"What do you want? Anything within my power, I will fulfill."

Mr. Wen, for his son, was willing to sacrifice dearly.

"I heard you're recently involved with the Central Deities Tournament, is that true?"

Such a matter existed, and Tang Rao's question was merely for confirmation from Mr. Wen.

"Yes, it is true."

Did Tang Rao want to participate in the Central Deities Tournament?

"What do you want me to do?"

Mr. Wen was quite astute.

"I'd like two families to qualify; do you think there's a way?"

Having two families qualify simultaneously was no laughing matter with Wen Jun.

Mr. Wen had never encountered someone so bold in their demands.

"You must understand, families aren't the minority here, but they are all peak powers. Randomly bringing two families in isn't easy."

On this point, Mr. Wen couldn't make the decision alone.

"I might not have the means either, but my condition remains: your son's life in exchange for two families. It's a trade you won't lose."

Mr. Wen was silent. He didn't have the authority to agree outright, but if Tang Rao's two families weren't as weak as expected, he could forgo other families' benefits and collaborate with Tang Rao.

The Purple Crystal wasn't as important as Wen Lei's life.

"I agree, but you must first tell me the names of these two families, so I can assess their viability."

Mr. Wen agreed and upon hearing Tang Rao's names, was dumbfounded.

"One is the Tingzhou Li Family, and the other is the Kao Shan Sect."

The Tingzhou Li Family? The Kao Shan Sect?

One is opposed by other families, while the other is a newly formed family. Tang Rao's choices left Mr. Wen at a loss.

"What, is it too difficult?"

Tang Rao feigned difficulty, and if Mr. Wen pretended to be troubled, it would be a slight to Tang Rao.

Thus, Tang Rao refusing to treat Wen Lei would be within reason, wouldn't it?

"Not difficult, not difficult."

Wasn't it difficult? If not for his son, Mr. Wen wouldn't make such a constrained decision.

Tang Rao nodded contentedly, agreeing to help the two families; at least how to proceed, Tang Rao needed foresight.

"Sigh, I am aware of these two families' strengths. They are already on the flower list. The list is a reference for the day of the battle. I'll try to pair your people against someone slightly weaker, but on the day itself, it comes down to fate. That's the extent of my authority."

Mr. Wen was upfront with Tang Rao, and his words matched what Tang Rao had anticipated, which Tang Rao could accept.

"Alright, let's do it. I trust that Mr. Wen is a man of his word. After all, only I can treat your long-term illness, so refrain from taking those so-called Divine Medicines during this period or risk worsening your condition. Whether you survive until the Central Deities Tournament is still in question."

Huh?

Tang Rao even knew about Mr. Wen's illness, warning him against taking medicines. Apparently, Tang Rao really had some skills.

"Alright, alright, thank you, Divine Doctor. The illness within me will require your care."

At this point, Mr. Wen truly believed Tang Rao to be a real Divine Doctor, without any deceit.

"Brother Lei, find an empty room, and I'll start treating you immediately. We have delayed too long."

Wen Lei, hearing there was hope, quickly called for a room to be prepared. Soon, a room with a bed was ready for Tang Rao.

"Brother Lei, lie down. If it hurts, just scream, don't hold it in."

Such a perverse explanation!

Wen Lei was so scared by Tang Rao, he didn't dare listen further.

"Alright, but can it not hurt?"

Wen Lei feared pain above all in life, a sentiment Tang Rao could understand.

"Actually, it's possible, but you need to make me happy."

Make him happy?

Take Tang Rao to a pleasure house, perhaps?

After this ordeal, Wen Lei dared not return to a pleasure house. Thinking of another way to please Tang Rao, he was at a loss.

"Boss, it's because I sought pleasure that I ended up this way, please don't think like that."

Wen Lei's thoughts concerned Tang Rao's well-being, not because he was stingy.

"Kid, what are you thinking? All I want is for you to give me some perks. Do you think anesthesia doesn't cost money?"

Wen Lei understood that Tang Rao's concept of happiness differed from his own. He slapped his forehead and handed everything to Tang Rao.

"Boss, don't say I'm not generous. All the good stuff I have is in here. As long as you cure me without pain, I'm willing to do anything."

Having said that, Tang Rao was deeply moved and decided not to play tricks, focusing on curing Wen Lei's illness.

The Space Ring contained vast treasures.

Tang Rao rendered Wen Lei unconscious with a slap, then applied local anesthesia, and once everything was set, he began crafting Elixir Pills for Wen Lei.

In the world of substances, all things have counterbalances. Finding the antidote can neutralize the poison.

"Brother, don't hold it against me!"

After Tang Rao administered an Elixir Pill, Wen Lei's entire body heated as if fully cooked.
