Chapter 275: Chapter 275: Using Abilities to Punish the Scoundrels
The few friends who were about to help Xiao Lv up shrank back again. They weren’t about to take that risk. What if he turned into a rabid dog?!
The fatality rate for rabies was 100%!
This betrayal from his friends made Xiao Lv feel terrible. He was furious.
Wen Qing was skeptical. "Lu, are you telling the truth? You’ve really never been bitten by a dog?"
"Of course, it’s true... WOOF!" Xiao Lv couldn’t stop himself from barking again.
His body was still twitching nonstop, and despite it being the height of summer, he felt a growing chill.
’Oh my god!’
’What the hell is happening?!’
Xiao Lv was about to lose his mind.
Gu Jiaojiao offered a "kind" reminder, "Mr. Xiao, are you sure you’ve never been bitten by a dog? I hear you love raising dogs, especially aggressive breeds."
Xiao Lv said angrily, "So what if I raise dogs? My dogs would never bite me! WOOF!"
"Lu, why don’t you go to the hospital and get checked out first?" Wen Qing suggested worriedly.
She was the one who had called Xiao Lv over, and the Xiao Family was not someone the Wen family could afford to offend.
Seeing that the girl he had a crush on really wasn’t going to help him up, Xiao Lv seethed with rage.
’That girl! All the affection I showed her was for nothing!’
’From now on, I’m done being her backup option!’
"I told you, I wasn’t... WOOF WOOF." Xiao Lv had no idea what was happening.
It was as if his brain had received some kind of compulsory command, forcing him to bark against his will.
Back then, besides the pain in his back and butt, he seemed to vaguely recall a sharp, needle-like pain.
’Could it be that this Gu Jiaojiao in front of him had done something?!’
"You... WOOF WOOF WOOF..." Xiao Lv clamped a hand over his mouth, lowering his voice to glare at her. "You, what the hell did you do to me? Woof~"
Gu Jiaojiao chuckled. "I didn’t do anything. Oh, dear. Could it be that Mr. Xiao has done so many wicked things he’s finally facing divine retribution?"
Xiao Lv’s bones ached so much it felt like they were about to fall apart. He struggled to his feet, but not a single person came to help him.
"No way! Shouldn’t we restrain him, then? What if he starts biting people?"
"Rabies is contagious! If you get infected, it’s 100 percent fatal."
Gao Xiangming’s underlings were used to being thugs and never had a good word to say.
Seeing more and more people pointing and staring at him, Xiao Lv didn’t want to humiliate himself any further.
He stared at Gu Jiaojiao with a cold, sinister gaze. "Gu Jiaojiao, is it? From this day forward, the Xiao Family is not done with you. Woof~~"
"Fine by me, Mr. Xiao. I welcome you to make good on your threat," Gu Jiaojiao said, completely unconcerned.
Her gaze towards Xiao Lv was exceptionally cold. "Don’t come crawling back to me, wagging your tail like a dog and begging for my forgiveness."
Xiao Lv gritted his teeth. "Beg you for forgiveness? In your dreams! Woof... Ptooey~ I’m going to call my grand-uncle and make sure you can’t survive in Qing City anymore! Woof~"
"Good. I’ll be waiting for your grand-uncle. If he doesn’t show, he’s a gutless puppy," Gu Jiaojiao replied. She hated being threatened more than anything.
She glanced over the rich kids who had come with Wen Qing. There were about twenty of them, all children of Qing City’s rich and powerful families.
’If they start causing trouble every other day, it’ll be a real hassle. In that case, I might as well give them all rabies!’
She didn’t care if people found out she was behind it or if everyone became suspicious of her.
Gu Jiaojiao shoved Xiao Lv aside, and holding her silver needles, she walked a circle through the crowd. In an instant, a dozen of the rich kids started going, "Woof~ Woof~ Woof..."
Wen Qing was scared out of her wits. Things had just gotten serious. Had she just offended all of Qing City’s influential figures at the same time?
She had to push all the blame onto that bitch Gu Jiaojiao. "Gu Jiaojiao, what did you do to them?"
"I didn’t do a thing. He was about to lunge at me, so I kicked him in self-defense. That’s not against the rules, is it?"
"You kicked him so hard you gave him rabies! That must be it." Wen Qing came up with a flimsy excuse.
She didn’t know Gu Jiaojiao was a Divine Doctor; otherwise, Wen Qing would have probably accused Gu Jiaojiao of using her medical skills to give Xiao Lv rabies.
"I kicked you too. How come you didn’t get rabies?" Gu Jiaojiao said, before kicking her mercilessly.
It was the truth, but possessing a treasure can be a crime in itself. So Gu Jiaojiao would never admit it.
Her medical skills could bring the dead back to life, but they could also leave someone in a state where they could neither live nor die.
’Who made the rule that a Divine Doctor, admired by all, couldn’t use her skills to punish scoundrels!’
She was now the Divine Doctor who had shocked the Empire. If not for her miraculous medical skills, how could three generations of Mr. Han’s family, Xiao Yue, and several other critically wounded soldiers on the battlefield have been saved?
"Wen Qing, instead of wasting your time here with malicious speculation, you should hurry up and get them to a hospital!"
Gu Jiaojiao said this without a shred of guilt. She had used the Silver Needle Sealing Method, and the effects would wear off automatically in twenty hours.
The rich kids who hadn’t been "infected" scrambled back in fear, wanting to keep their distance so they wouldn’t catch it.
As a result, not a single person Wen Qing had brought with her was willing to take them to the hospital. Instead, they heartlessly climbed into their cars, ready to flee.
Wen Qing also got into her family’s car. She didn’t dare to open the window, afraid that even the air outside carried the rabies virus.
The rich kids left standing there all had their own family cars, but their chauffeurs, afraid of being infected, had already hitched a ride in someone else’s car.
Xiao Lv knew how to drive, but his whole body ached, and he truly believed he had a terminal case of rabies.
The other rich kids thought Xiao Lv had infected them and all kept their distance from him.
"You all came here with Wen Qing, so just ask her to take you to the hospital. If you don’t go soon, your condition will only get worse, you know."
Gu Jiaojiao "kindly" reminded them. In her two lifetimes, she had dominated the medical world for years. Forget humans—even a dragon would have to coil up obediently before her.
Wen Qing was a newborn calf unafraid of a tiger. Since she dared to provoke her, Gu Jiaojiao would just have to tear off her horns.
’Does she really think I’m that easy to bully!’
In the past, Mrs. Sheng and Sheng Yueyue had never confronted her head-on, and besides, the Sheng Family had raised the original owner of this body.
The rich kids saw that the goddess of their hearts couldn’t care less if they lived or died. They had followed her here voluntarily, so they couldn’t blame anyone else.
But they weren’t willing to admit they were wrong, so they wanted to ask Gu Jiaojiao for help.
Because she was the only one who had been in contact with Xiao Lv and hadn’t been infected.
While others might have the same delicate features, a normal person’s would look like a casual sketch, whereas hers looked as if they were meticulously rendered, detail by detail.
Every line and curve of her face was just right. She was as beautiful as a celestial fairy and looked kind just by her appearance.
"Ms. Gu Jiaojiao, could you please take us to the hospital?" a young man from the Wen family pleaded.
"Give me one reason why I should," Gu Jiaojiao said coldly.
"You were in contact with Xiao Lv too, but you weren’t infected."
"Hmph! Even if I can’t be infected, why should I save you? Remember, you’re the ones who came looking for trouble with me."
The rich kids: ...She had a good point!
