Chapter 156: Chapter 156: Recovery and Aristocracy

In fact, the final sale price of this pirate ship once again exceeded Chen Qing’s expectations.

Thirty-eight thousand eight hundred goldfish.

The gemstone event had just ended, and the survivors had quite a bit of money on their hands.

After all, the ship of the Black Saber Pirate Group was an ordinary vessel. It could sell for such a high price, largely thanks to the celebrity effect of Chen Qing, coupled with the general increase in the prices of some ships.

The Dragon Country survivor who bid on this ship was also thinking of leveraging Chen Qing’s fame to promote her own team’s name. Moreover, Chen Qing’s old ship had an excellent plantation area, and the water purification system was also perfectly renovated.

She even reserved space for aquaculture, and the ship had plenty of room for modification and could easily be built upon further.

Farming and aquaculture are traits etched into the genes of people from Dragon Country.

Being able to farm and raise livestock on a ship meant that, no matter where one went, one would never starve.

And eating, that was a matter of utmost importance.

After the auction was completed, Chen Qing quickly received the goldfish.

Chen Qing had originally thought that the money from the auction of the ship might just be enough for one potion.

But unexpectedly, Gui Shu’s fees were even lower than she had imagined, and the ship also proved to be worth a bit more than she had anticipated.

This doctor did indeed seem to have the good temperament rumored about him.

"Drink one bottle of this potion a day, a five-day supply, each bottle is marked."

Gui Shu glanced at Chen Qing’s back, then saw many more figures appearing at the junction.

He sighed, rolled up his sleeves, tied up his long hair, and walked past Chen Qing towards them.

"If you feel you can handle it, you can drink more at a time, or even finish it all at once."

"You can pick any room over there, stay until your infection is over before leaving, and come to me any time if you have any problems."

"However, try not to disturb me during my sleeping hours."

The number of patients had recently been increasing, and it seemed the Deep Blue Sea Region was starting to become troubled as well.

Chen Qing, trailing a beat behind, received his message and then had the Blast Battle Rabbit open each potion in order and hand it to her.

Chen Qing did not hesitate and drank all of the potions at once.

The moment the potion was downed, Chen Qing immediately felt as if her entire body were being scorched by fierce flames!

With each additional bottle of potion, this burning pain intensified, increasing exponentially!

In fact, the potion created by Gui Shu did indeed utilize a special type of plant flame to burn away the contagion in their bodies, a plant flame he specifically developed for this infection.

The treatment process was painful, but it had the advantage of being a definitive cure, addressing both the symptoms and the root cause.

However, many of those who came to Gui Shu for treatment were pampered nobles; they weren’t like Chen Qing who, even gritting her teeth, would endure the pain.

They would hate to have to take even one bottle of the potion, much preferring to divide it into dozens of doses.

Gui Shu, welcoming a new patient, turned around to find that Chen Qing had already finished all of the potions.

Others could not see this scene, but in Gui Shu’s eyes, Chen Qing was ablaze with flames reaching to the sky.

The flames were half white, half black, intertwined, struggling incessantly.

Soon the White flames gained the upper hand, devouring all the Black flames completely.

As the Black flames disappeared, Chen Qing’s missing senses slowly returned to her body, one by one.

First came the taste, then the touch, followed by hearing sounds, and finally, her sight.

Chen Qing slowly opened her eyes and saw Gui Shu standing in front of her, curiously examining her.

Gui Shu wore a White robe, his waist-long blue hair was tied up, and his entire demeanor exuded a gentle and serene aura.

"Doctor Gui Shu, thank you."

Having regained her senses, Chen Qing quickly adjusted to her current situation and nodded towards Gui Shu.

"No problem, you pay, I cure, a transaction as normal as they come."

Gui Shu shook his head with a smile.

"However, do you mind if I check your physical condition?"

Although Chen Qing wasn’t the first person Gui Shu had encountered who had drunk all the potion in one go, such cases were indeed rare.

And Chen Qing’s current condition seemed obviously better than the last person’s, Gui Shu was curious.

But if Chen Qing wasn’t willing, Gui Shu wouldn’t insist, he could understand.

In any case, Gui Shu was a rare good person from the Deep Blue Sea not often encountered.

"Gui Shu—what are you doing, I’m about to die of pain!!"

Before Chen Qing could answer, a gloomy, gasping voice came from behind her.

A massive figure, carried by numerous servants, loomed over Chen Qing’s shadow, eyeing the two with a particularly malicious gaze.

"Gui Shu, are you really going to delay treating my condition for this lowlife?"

The gloomy voice rose again, and Gui Shu gave Chen Qing an apologetic smile, helplessly.

"Sorry, her temper isn’t great, but she doesn’t have bad intentions."

Gui Shu explained in a low voice.

This noblewoman was also a regular client of his, always coming up with various ailments and demonstrating a remarkable inability to tolerate pain.

Gui Shu didn’t expect that this noble had also contracted the disease; just thinking about the treatment process was giving him a headache.

"It’s fine."

Chen Qing turned back to glance at the noblewoman seated in the sedan chair, who was very fat, extremely so, to the point where her features were barely visible.

At first glance, the noblewoman resembled nothing so much as a mountain of flesh.

However, even as fat as she was, to the point of being unable to walk on her own, Chen Qing could still feel the noblewoman’s icy and chilling stare.

This person, she was not as she seemed on the surface.

She could become a terrifying adversary, perhaps, even more troublesome than Shang Jia and White Immortal.

"You are... Chen Qing."

The noblewoman’s voice revealed neither happiness nor anger; she spoke only to herself, regardless of Chen Qing’s reaction.

"You’re Chen Qing, I take back what I said, sorry, pleased to meet you, Chen Qing, I am Liu Li Meng Jue from the Pure Country of the Elemental Sea."

"If you have the chance, you’re welcome to visit my territory in the Pure Country."

"I like you very much."

Liu Li Meng Jue thought for a moment, then added one more sentence.

"?"

Chen Qing furrowed her brows, this noblewoman was... peculiar.

To be honest, Chen Qing’s reputation was still quite useful.

As long as she didn’t come across those hot-headed youngsters blinded by fame and fortune, not many people tended to pick a fight with her.

Chen Qing had initially wanted to teach her a lesson, but this person’s apology was, indeed... a bit too quick.

In most non-combat situations, Chen Qing only took action against criminals.

No intent to attack, no malice, no weapons—such individuals were mostly classified by Chen Qing as civilians.

Her tolerance for civilians was rather high; she had never laid a hand on one.

"Gui Shu—aren’t you going to hurry up and treat me!"

After speaking with Chen Qing, Liu Li Meng Jue immediately began berating Gui Shu in a harsh and commanding tone.
