Chapter 704: Chapter 221 Ice and Fire Soup [Two-in-One] Chapter 704: Chapter 221 Ice and Fire Soup [Two-in-One] “Old Jiang…”

Before Jiang Changhai could speak, Dong Tiesong did, filled with emotion, he said: “Look, ordinarily, I dearly love this little girl to my core, I would give her anything good to eat, keep anything fun, anything beautiful… only for her. Even if she doesn’t want it, I’d still urge her to accept…”

“People… are bound by fate. Isn’t it completely normal for us older ones to dote on our granddaughters a bit? Who could have thought that we would receive such a massive reward today. This is the young one’s filial piety, their heartfelt intentions…”

Dong Tiesong sighed, indirectly teaching Jiang Changhai, “They say no good deed goes unpunished, the whole world proclaims that good people suffer. But look at us now. Doing good does bring benefits, it pays off!”

Jiang Changhai nodded emphatically: “Yes, it’s better to be a good person. Kindness to others will be reciprocated.”

“Hee hee hee…”

“It seems that I should be a good person too.”

As soon as Jiang Changhai said this, he immediately corrected himself, “Pah, pah, pah, I’ve always been a good person…”

“You old devil… you really dare say it. Do you consider yourself a good man? What kind of good man are you?”

“I’ve never taken an innocent life in all my years. Doesn’t this alone qualify me as a good person? Haven’t you old scoundrel been involved in river and lake battles? Who hasn’t taken several lives? Pretending to be a good person… No, I mean, you are a good person, but so am I…”

Jiang Changhai was adamant about being a ‘good person’: “I am indeed a good person. The Heavenly Judgment’s kill order doesn’t have my name on it, that’s proof!”

The people of the Absolute Sword Devil Palace didn’t used to care much about the Heavenly Judge, but now, Jiang Changhai insisted that not having his name on the kill list made him a good person.

“Alright, alright, don’t argue with me. Do you think I don’t know your intentions? Whether you’re a good person or not, our opinions don’t count, only the Medical Savior’s recognition matters!”

Dong Tiesong made a dismissive remark. They’d known each other for years; did Old Jiang really think he couldn’t see through his pretense?

“Sigh…”

Jiang Changhai deflated at Dong Tiesong’s words. No matter what, the final decision to save someone still rested with the Medical Savior, everyone else could only provide assistance.

“Brother Dong.”

Jiang Changhai began to play the emotional card: “Look at our relationship…”

“About that, I can’t guarantee anything. Our bond is one thing, but this circumstances are a different matter. I already owe the Medical Savior a favor. Using that favor to ask for another favor—I don’t have the face for it!”

Dong Tiesong was a seasoned river and lake veteran, he won’t let himself be swayed. “Brother Jiang, to be honest, since we met on the river and lake many years ago, we’ve been opponents. Through the years, we’ve won some and lost some, happening countless times between us. To have a past opponent become a friend is, if not unheard of, certainly rare.”

“Here’s the real deal, if I could heal your wounds, I would help you. The river and lake world is only so big. Only the old ones we knew back in the day can truly run with us old folks. We can’t get on the same wavelength with young ones. If you are gone, I will certainly be lonely… You know this, I know this.”

He spoke sincerely: “I really don’t want to watch you die. But ask yourself, do I have any say in this matter? This isn’t something that can be solved with river and lake power. At the very least, it’s a matter of human relations, a once-in-a-lifetime favor…”

Jiang Changhai sighed deeply: “Of course I understand. But how can I persuade the Medical Savior to intervene? What are the prerequisites? It’s getting harder and harder to understand!”

“…”

Dong Tiesong sighed as he drank his tea. He was talking about one thing and thinking about another, all the while feeling a strange sense of satisfaction.

How come you, Jiang Changhai, can’t do it now?

Can’t speak now?

No reward for being a good person now?

Why have you stopped bragging?

Why are you crying out now?

What happened to your spirit?

What happened?

Anyway, I’m fine. It’s up to you to handle it.

I said before that the river and lake world is all about human relations, but you refuted me for half a chapter. What about now?

Heh heh…

“Old Dong… I’m not trying to give you a hard time.”

Jiang Changhai’s face was filled with agony: “But you also know, this mortal world, as wearisome and lonely as it may be, when it comes to just leaving it… it’s hard to let go. Who, when they can see the possibility of survival, can accept death calmly?”

“You know the kind of person I, Jiang Changhai, am. I’m not one to beg, but today, I’m asking you for a favor. Please talk to your little princess.”

Jiang Changhai gritted his teeth: “I’m willing to pay any price!”

“Hmm… This…”

Truly, Dong Tiesong didn’t want to bring up the subject.

He still has his own doctor’s fee to pay.

Although he’s not sure how much it would cost, could such a miraculous medicine that defies death be easily obtained with a squeeze of a few medicinal pills?

That’s absolutely impossible!

This is a mysterious medicine that reverses death, wrests creation from heaven and earth, and seizes vitality from ghosts and gods!

“Old Jiang, you’ve said quite a lot, but I don’t know if it’s possible and I don’t dare to make any promises!”

Dong Tiesong sighed: “I can only say that I will talk to the little princess. Brother Jiang, that’s the only thing I can promise.”
