CHAPTER 123: CHAPTER 120: THE LEGENDARY ATTEMPTED ASSAULT?

Yun Ran could hear the gloating tone in his voice through the mask!

[Bastard! This isn’t over! Just you wait!]

Yun Ran forced a laugh twice, wiped away her tears with her hand, "I accidentally got some dust in my eye just now, it’ll be fine in a bit."

"In your condition, can you still diagnose illnesses? Maybe you should pack up and go home?"

"..."

Yun Ran didn’t want to deal with him, silently rolling her eyes internally.

[Pretending to cry for the mouse, bastard! Acting like a good person now? Isn’t this all thanks to you!]

"Divine Doctor Yan, are you feeling unwell?"

"Young Master Feng, your eyes look really red! Don’t help with diagnoses today, better go home and rest!"

"..."

Everyone chimed in advising Yun Ran to go rest. Yun Ran knew well that this ’pear blossom with rain’ effect, without the antidote, wouldn’t stop her tears for three hours!

The trouble was, she hadn’t prepared the antidote at all.

She never thought this ’pear blossom with rain’ would be used on herself.

Yun Ran went along with everyone’s advice and decided to hurry back to prepare the antidote.

Everyone took their leave, and Yun Ran received many small gifts from young girls.

Snacks, handkerchiefs, pouches, and several Unity Knots.

Though the sun was shining bright, Yun Ran felt a chill in the air, cold and sinister.

When she looked up, she was met with the man in black with the silver mask.

"Brother, why haven’t you left?"

The man replied in an eerie tone, "You haven’t treated me yet."

Yun Ran really wanted to throw poison needles at him.

Instead, she smiled brightly with a friendly demeanor, "We’re closing for today, brother, if you’re really ill, come back tomorrow."

[But you’re probably mentally ill, best to give up on treatment altogether!]

"You’re called Yan Ruofeng, right?"

Suddenly mentioned by name, Yun Ran paused, feeling his words seemed awfully gritted?

"That’s me indeed! What does brother want to teach me?"

"This name is really awful."

Yun Ran: "..."

Are you polite?

"May I ask brother’s esteemed name?"

The man snorted coldly, "Are you asking my name to scheme against me?"

Yun Ran: "..."

[Yes, I want to beat you! Smash your head, cripple your hands, break your legs, gouge your eyes, poison your mouth!]

"Brother, with your attitude, you can easily be beaten to death in the martial world, even your head might get smashed!"

"Oh, look, isn’t your hand already beaten like this! In the future, be more honest, or you might not even know why you were attacked."

The man, very tall, looked down slightly at her, "What? You want to ambush me too?"

[Not only that, I want to put you in a sack and hang you on a tree to let the wind, rain, sun shine on you, make you absorb the essence of the earth and the spiritual energy of the sun and moon!]

"No way! I’m a doctor, as the saying goes, a healer is like a parent’s heart, dedicated to saving lives and healing the sick."

"How could I possibly attack someone from behind? I was just kindly reminding brother."

The man in black looked at her bright and harmless smile. He almost believed her nonsense.

"Saving lives and healing the sick?"

The man curled his lip, rudely mocking her, "In my opinion, you pretending to treat illnesses is fake, flirting is what’s real, isn’t it?"

"Who said I..."

"The evidence is overwhelming, don’t even think about denying it."

The man pointed at the array of small items on the table, cutting off her words in an eerie tone.

Yun Ran: "..."

[Truly a hateful and obnoxious person! Making my eyes cry almost blind, I have to poison you!]

Yun Ran casually picked up a packet of snacks, handed it to him, her smile like spring wind, pure and harmless.

"It’s almost noon, brother must be hungry? Please have some!"

Man in black: "..."

Heh... Dead girl, who are you trying to poison!

"These lousy things given by fluttering moths and butterflies, you’d better keep them for yourself."

With an arrogant and disdainful remark, the man turned elegantly, leaving Yun Ran with a high-cold silhouette.

Yun Ran looked at the snacks in her hand, then at the man’s tall and upright back, her mouth twitched hard.

"You’re the fluttering moth, is this how you talk about the young girls? Ignorant of pitying beauty! No girl will like you in the future!"

Recalling his words from today, Yun Ran added:

"Unless some girl’s head got caught in the door, then she’d like you!"

...

The man turned a corner, stood at the alley entrance, waiting for Yun Ran to pack up and leave, then followed her, not too close, not too far.

Along the way, he saw a seller of candied haws, the man hesitated, stopped, went over and threw a piece of silver to the vendor.

"Two skewers."

"Alright, sir, just one moment..."

The vendor smiled broadly, looked up, and his smile froze seeing the man in black with a silver mask, tall and imposing, exuding a chilling aura, instinctively glanced behind him...

No girl? No child?

The vendor, trembling, handed over two skewers of candied haws along with the silver piece.

"Ah, ah, good sir, if you want the candied haws, it’s free for you..."

The man glanced coldly at him and turned to leave.

The vendor stared at the silver in his hand, slowly raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Too scary!"

"With that aura of murder, surely he’s a cold-blooded killer, and yet he likes candied haws? Could he be smearing poison on it to use as bait for killing?"

...

Yun Ran, wiping her tears, dashed home.

Her pretty eyes were red like a little rabbit’s, she had cursed the man all the way.

In over ten years, she had never shed so many tears!

"Yo~ why is such a beautiful young lad crying? Who bullied you? Tell big brother, I’ll get back at them for you."

Just turned a corner, suddenly a few thugs appeared in front, blocking Yun Ran’s path.

The leader wore fancy clothes, fanned himself, with dog-like demeanor, not bad looking, but full of sinister charm that made people loathe him.

On his left and right stood two similarly dressed people.

Behind them were ten or so thugs, each looking fierce.

Yun Ran glanced at them expressionlessly.

Is this the legendary abduct-for-color?

"Either scram or die."

Their arrogance was briefly shocked by her aura, but quickly they resumed their boldness.

Just a yellow-haired kid! With their dozen people, would they be afraid?

"Got quite a temper? Got personality! Brother likes!"

"Look, eyes are all red from crying, just heartache! Come home with brother, brother will treat you right."

As he spoke, he reached his hand towards Yun Ran’s face.

Yun Ran’s eyes flashed, just about to disable him, suddenly heard a stern shout:

"Stop!"
