Chapter 825: Chapter 821: Temper Reduced

The tiger looked like it had come from far away, but strangely, after traveling such a distance, it just lay in the grass, motionless, showing no signs of aggression.

This left Chen Yang puzzled. He couldn’t figure out what this fellow was up to.

"Wangcai, you’re so fierce. How about I give you a chance to perform? Go over there and give it a bite?"

Chen Yang said with a smile as he patted Wangcai.

Upon hearing this, Wangcai’s whole body trembled!

Its imposing manner instantly deflated, and it no longer dared to make fierce noises.

"You little rascal, always acting tough when you’re backed up."

Chen Yang gave Wangcai a light smack on the head, then turned his attention back to the tiger.

The tiger showed no intention of attacking. By logic, Chen Yang should slowly retreat, as avoiding trouble is often the wise choice.

But at this moment, Chen Yang was instead thinking about how to drive this guy back into the deep mountains, so it wouldn’t wander around here and hurt people.

With this thought, Chen Yang scanned his surroundings and noticed a sturdy tree branch nearby that looked like it could be used as a weapon. He slowly walked over and picked it up.

Then, he walked steadily toward the patch of grass where the tiger lay.

"Go back to your mountain! Don’t loiter around here!"

Chen Yang waved the tree branch to drive it away, but the tiger showed no intention of leaving and remained in the same spot.

Seeing this, Chen Yang stepped closer until the branch could reach the tiger, and he continued trying to shoo it away with gentle pokes.

This time, the tiger, bothered by the branch, couldn’t sit still anymore. It stood up and retreated a couple of steps.

The tiger’s reaction puzzled Chen Yang.

Logically, shouldn’t the tiger be enraged and attack?

Why had its temper become so mild? Even with the branch poking its face, it showed no real response?

"Get back to your mountain! Don’t make me show you my tough side if you keep ignoring me!" Chen Yang clenched his fist and made a display of his "power."

It wasn’t clear if the tiger was afraid of Chen Yang’s strength or if it simply understood him.

Seeing Chen Yang’s stance, it actually started to walk away. Mildly and gently, it moved with no temper at all, looking nothing more than an oversized cat rather than a fearsome beast.

Even more bafflingly, the tiger would take a few steps, then turn its head to glance back at Chen Yang. Its expression showed a faint sense of reluctance to leave.

"What in the world?"

Chen Yang felt perplexed, but since the tiger was already out of sight, he knew there was no way to figure it out now.

After driving the tiger away, Chen Yang stopped thinking much about it. He tossed the branch aside and headed down the mountain with Wangcai and Brother Falcon.

By the time he returned home, the sun was already close to setting behind the horizon.

Seizing the remaining daylight, Chen Yang planted the herbs he’d collected in the medicine field and tended to them, watering and fertilizing the soil.

By the time he finished everything, it was already dark, so Chen Yang headed to the kitchen to cook dinner.

After dinner, as usual, he went to the backyard to practice the Soaring Dragon Fist!

The more Chen Yang practiced this martial art, the more fascinated he became.

He could clearly feel that this form of martial arts greatly boosted his combat abilities.

"Next time I get the chance, I’ll have to test this out and see just how effective it is!"

As Chen Yang practiced his punches, he thought about how, if he encountered someone on Liu Qianshan’s level again, he’d open with the Soaring Dragon Fist right off the bat.

Only then could he accurately judge just how powerful this technique was.

...

The next day.

Chen Yang got up bright and early.

The first thing he did was take a walk around the backyard to check how the medicinal field he worked on yesterday was faring.

At the same time, he gave a Body Tempering Elixir to each of his companions, Brother Falcon and Wangcai.

These two fellows never missed their daily dose.

Once they were taken care of, Chen Yang headed to the medicine field.

He noticed the new section of the plot wasn’t doing as well as the older one.

The older section was in far better condition.

Still, Chen Yang didn’t dwell on it too much.

After all, it was only the first day—he figured he’d just give it more time and observe. It was too early to draw conclusions.

Chen Yang opened the wooden fence, walked inside, and watered the entire field. Then, he went to wash up and have breakfast.

"Yang Zi, Yang Zi, are you home?"

Chen Yang had just put down his bowl and chopsticks in the inner room when he suddenly heard Aunt Wang’s anxious voice calling from outside.

Hearing this, Chen Yang immediately walked out.

"What’s wrong, Aunt Wang? What happened?"

When Wang Hong saw Chen Yang come out, her expression immediately relaxed.

"Please help take a look at Qiangzi. The child suddenly has a fever, and his body is burning up," Wang Hong said, pulling Qiangzi along.

Hearing this, Chen Yang glanced at Qiangzi and noticed the boy really did look unwell, with a pale face and a poor state of energy.

"Alright, Aunt Wang, come inside. I’ll take a look at him."

"Okay, okay."

Wang Hong nodded quickly and led Qiangzi up the steps into the clinic.

"To the patient room—let him lie down so I can examine him more closely."

Chen Yang pointed toward the patient room.

"Okay, okay."

Wang Hong nodded again and immediately helped Qiangzi into the room and lay him down.

Meanwhile, Chen Yang went to grab some fever medicine and medical tools before heading to the room.

Inside, Chen Yang first touched Qiangzi’s forehead. It was indeed burning hot—a clear sign of fever.

Still, to be sure, he used a thermometer to check the boy’s temperature.

While waiting for the result, he also asked Wang Hong some questions about Qiangzi’s condition.

When asked how the boy had gotten sick, Wang Hong looked a bit angry.

"This disobedient little rascal! He insisted on taking a bath in the creek last night despite how late it was. He must’ve caught a chill there."

As she spoke, Wang Hong couldn’t help but scold Qiangzi right in front of Chen Yang.

Chen Yang just chuckled softly and didn’t comment.

After Wang Hong finished scolding, Chen Yang continued asking if there were symptoms like vomiting.

Once he’d gathered enough details, the thermometer beeped, and when Chen Yang checked it, it read 40°C!

"This is a high fever."

Chen Yang set the thermometer aside and fetched a few medicines from his kit, which he mixed and administered as an injection.

The boy was surprisingly brave. He barely made a sound when Chen Yang gave the shot. Most kids would’ve been wailing by now.

"Yang Zi, will the injection alone be enough?" Wang Hong asked from the side.

"No,"

Chen Yang shook his head and then took out a small pill. "Take this, then rest the entire morning. He’ll be fine by the afternoon."

With that, Chen Yang fed the pill to Qiangzi.

"Alright, Aunt Wang, take Qiangzi home to rest. He’ll be better by this afternoon," Chen Yang said with a smile.

"Okay, thank you, Yang Zi. How much do I owe you?" Wang Hong smiled gratefully and reached for her pocket.

Chen Yang quickly waved her off. "There’s no need for talk about money between neighbors. It’s nothing."

It was just a fever—Chen Yang didn’t see the need to charge for something so minor.

Knowing Chen Yang wouldn’t accept, Wang Hong didn’t press the matter.

"Hehe, alright then. I won’t stand on ceremony."

Wang Hong smiled, but her expression quickly turned stern as she glared at Qiangzi. "Hurry and thank Uncle Chen Yang!"

"Thank you, Uncle Chen Yang."

Qiangzi promptly expressed his thanks.

"Alright, alright. Kids being a little naughty now and then is normal. Aunt Wang, don’t be too harsh on him. You should head back and rest soon," Chen Yang said with a gentle smile.

"Yes, I really appreciate your help, Yang Zi."

Wang Hong expressed her gratitude once more before leading Qiangzi away.
