Chapter 199: Chapter 199: Dongfang Ruhua’s Birthday Banquet

Fang Bai used Blood Jade Vine to prepare an ointment, called "Scar-Removing and Muscle-Nourishing Ointment," which had a marvellous effect on removing scars and nourishing the skin.

Fang Bai was fully confident that as long as he applied the "Scar-Removing and Muscle-Nourishing Ointment" to the scars on his back about ten times, those crisscrossed scars would be completely removed, returning his skin to its state before the injury.

After he finished preparing the ointment and still had some free time, Fang Bai taught the "Azure Sea Wave Art" to Baili Mingyue under the grapevine in the courtyard, allowing her to study and ponder over it in her spare time.

People with an Innate Spiritual Root were brilliantly intelligent and highly perceptive. Fang Bai believed that as long as Baili Mingyue didn’t slack off, and with his occasional guidance, she would quickly make significant progress and step onto the path of the Martial Dao.

Around six o’clock in the evening, after the doctors and interns in the acupuncture and massage room had left, Fang Bai sat in his office, waiting for Su Linglong to come over.

Several minutes later, with a fragrant breeze, Su Linglong appeared in front of Fang Bai, having shed her nurse’s uniform for a white T-shirt and a matching white pleated skirt.

Su Linglong had obviously made an effort with her appearance. Her face was lightly made up, her eyebrows were delicately brushed, her lips were freshly moist, and her fair, slender legs, which were especially eye-catching underneath her skirt, had a graceful line.

The current Su Linglong, youthfully radiant and alluring, with a hint of playful charm, was irresistibly beautiful.

Fang Bai looked Su Linglong up and down, his eyes filled with admiration and praise as he smiled and said, "Is your friend pretty?"

"Very pretty! Why do you ask?"

Su Linglong didn’t understand the meaning behind Fang Bai’s question.

"That’s good then. Otherwise, with you showing up looking so pretty, it would totally be stealing the limelight from her. That could make her quite uncomfortable! If I were your friend, I wouldn’t invite you just to avoid all the attention at the birthday party being drawn to you!"

Delighted by his compliments, Su Linglong laughed and said, "That won’t happen! Although my friend is young, she’s a lovable little beauty who will definitely be a great beauty when she grows up!"

After a few jokes and noticing it was getting late, they locked the office and walked out side by side.

"What time does your friend’s birthday party start?"

After leaving the hospital gate, Fang Bai casually asked.

"Eight o’clock."

"It’s only a little past six now, so we’re early."

"I need to go buy her a gift first! Fang Bai, what do you think I should give a fifteen-year-old beauty?"

"Is her family poor or wealthy?"

"They’re very rich."

"If they’re rich, then giving her jewelry, beautiful clothes, perfume, and cosmetics might be a bit cliché..."

"Exactly, I feel the same. I’ve been thinking for several days and I still don’t know what would be a good gift for her."

As they passed a small shop selling flowers and potted plants, Fang Bai had an idea and said, "Women all love beauty. I have a herb gathered from deep in the mountains that, when brewed into a tea, can make the skin even more fair and white. How about you give her that?"

"What herb is so magical?"

Su Linglong looked at Fang Bai, her eyes shining with excitement. She knew Fang Bai was a Divine Doctor, so if he said it could whiten the skin, then it certainly could.

"Its name is ’Frostflower Grass’... It’s not convenient to take it out here. After we get to your friend’s place, I’ll hand it over to you!"

"Alright!"

Su Linglong said excitedly, "Giving medicinal herbs as a birthday gift... ha, such a unique item, my friend will definitely like it!"

After a pause, she added, "But Fang Bai, that herb of yours must be very precious, right? I feel a bit guilty giving it away as a gift... How about I pay you back later? Consider it as me buying it..."

Fang Bai interrupted Su Linglong and said seriously, "We are classmates and friends. Can such a relationship be measured in money?"

"No..."

Su Linglong blinked and said with a smile, "I was wrong this time, it won’t happen again. How about this, I’ll treat you to a meal someday as a thank you, is that okay?"

Fang Bai replied with a smile, "That’s certainly no problem!"

Since they had plenty of time, the two didn’t take a cab to Su Linglong’s friend’s house but walked there side by side instead.

It was not until they arrived at the front gate of Su Linglong’s friend’s house that Fang Bai realized he actually knew the friend as well.

"You and Dongfang Ruhua, one in Zhongzhou and one in Yanjing, how did you become friends?"

Fang Bai looked at the manor-style villa’s gate not far ahead, turned his head to ask Su Linglong, and at the same time, an image emerged in his mind of a beautiful young girl around fourteen years old, tying her hair in twin ponytails, fond of wearing pink dresses, and dressed like a noble princess.

Fang Bai hadn’t expected Su Linglong’s friend to be Dongfang Leiming’s young granddaughter, Dongfang Ruhua.

When Fang Bai first arrived in Yanjing, he had once saved Dongfang Leiming’s life, and in the process cured Dongfang Leiming’s heart disease, and that was when he met Dongfang Ruhua.

Later, during a conflict that erupted between Dongfang Leiming’s grandsons, Dongfang Xing and Dongfang Chen, and Baili Mingyue, Fang Bai got involved and subsequently got to know Dongfang Ruhua’s sister, Dongfang Rushi, as well as their mother, Lin Ruoxue.

Although Fang Bai had only met Dongfang Leiming, the head of the Dongfang Family, and Lin Ruoxue, Dongfang Rushi, Dongfang Ruhua mother and daughters, once, he had a good impression of them all.

If there had been no unpleasant encounter with Dongfang Xing and Dongfang Chen, joining Su Linglong for Dongfang Ruhua’s birthday banquet at the Dongfang house could have been a pleasant affair, Fang Bai thought.

As could be expected, Dongfang Xing and Dongfang Chen, being Dongfang Ruhua’s elder and second cousins, would likely be present at tonight’s birthday banquet, and if the two parties met, it was uncertain what might happen.

In that conflict between Baili Mingyue and Dongfang Xing and Dongfang Chen, Baili Mingyue had injured the cousins in a rather sensitive area. Fang Bai wondered if Lin Ruoxue, hailing from the Doctor Pavilion Sect, managed to cure their problem after taking them home.

If they were cured, all was well, but if not, someone from the Dongfang Family would surely hold a grudge against him, and his visit would unlikely be met with any good grace.

Fang Bai sighed inwardly. If he hadn’t noticed the excited expression on Su Linglong’s face, clearly caring a great deal about tonight’s birthday party, he would have turned around and left immediately.

"Fang Bai, what’s wrong?"

Noticing the unusual expression on Fang Bai’s face, Su Linglong asked.

Fang Bai said, "I’m fine... I was just wondering, if someone asks about me, how will you introduce me?"

"I’ve already thought about that!"

Su Linglong giggled and said, "I’ll just say... you are my personal bodyguard. That way, you can stay by my side all the time."
