Chapter 189: Chapter 189: Second Brother-in-law Calls_1
Qin Feng picked up the herbs that Shangguan Yan handed over, looked at them, and then took a sniff.
In the end, he confirmed that these herbs were indeed top-notch quality.
So, he didn’t hesitate anymore.
"Twenty to thirty million? Is it twenty million or thirty million exactly?"
Shangguan Yan stretched out her palm and said, "It’s fifty million now."
"What do you mean? Are you jacking up the price on the spot?"
"Yes! I’m jacking up the price on the spot. Anyway, these herbs cost fifty million, if you think that’s too expensive, you can go somewhere else."
"Fifty million it is then, I’ll take them!"
Having obtained four treasures today, even if this woman fleeced him out of fifty million, Qin Feng still didn’t lose out!
Having fleeced Shangguan Yan four times, he also had to let her fleece him at least once to slightly appease the resentment in her heart!
Only by doing so could they have a long-term relationship!
Agreeing so readily, Qin Feng’s move completely dumbfounded Shangguan Yan.
In disbelief, she looked at him and asked, "You know I’m fleecing you, yet you still agree?"
"It can’t always be you losing out! I have to take a loss too, so there can be a next time!"
"Today, you’ve scammed me out of four treasures, and you still expect a next time? Next time you dare to cross my doorstep, I will definitely break your legs!"
Shangguan Yan was fiercely threatening, and even her trembling was threatening!
Qin Feng, with a bunch of herbs and the four treasures in hand, returned home.
The backyard looked like a battlefield in disarray, and Xue Xiaochan called some workers to clean it up.
All the flowers and plants that needed replanting were taken care of.
Qin Feng found some bricks and built a simple stove in the backyard, starting a fire with firewood.
Then, he placed the Seven-Dragon Alchemy Furnace on it and began to simmer some herbs.
He wasn’t practicing alchemy, but cleansing the furnace.
At that moment, Xue Xiaochan came back.
Seeing Qin Feng had started another fire in the backyard and was burning away.
She stamped her high heel in anger.
Thud!
The proud curvature surged tumultuously.
Qin Feng happened to look up and caught the most beautiful moment.
Then, a crafty smile appeared on his lips.
"You still have the nerve to smile? I’ve just had people fix up the backyard, and here you are messing things up again! Is it that you won’t be happy until the backyard is turned into a post-war ruin?"
Xiaochan walked over, tugging at Qin Feng’s ear irritably.
"Where did this crappy little furnace come from?"
"What crappy little furnace? This is the Seven-Dragon Alchemy Furnace, used by the Supreme Elder Lord before his ascension to perform alchemy. The gold on this furnace body is purer than 24K gold, without a speck of impurity."
"You’re saying this is made of gold? Isn’t genuine gold not afraid of being tested by fire? What’s with this gold-made little furnace of yours turning black as soon as it’s heated? It’s so black and murky, even blacker than coal."
"Genuine gold is not afraid of fire test, but it fears being smoked! All this murky blackness on the alchemy furnace is from the smoke. After I finish cleaning the furnace and wipe it with a cloth, it will shine brilliantly."
"A cloth? What cloth?"
Xiaochan looked at Qin Feng curiously, because in his hands, he held her silk scarf.
This scarf, although not expensive and worth only twenty thousand, was her favorite.
"Just this one!"
Qin Feng shook the silk scarf in his hand.
"You damn thing, you’re actually using my scarf as a rag? I won’t beat you to death, you household wrecker!"
Xiaochan swung a barrage of little punches at Qin Feng, landing them all over him.
After the beating, Xiaochan snatched back her scarf.
Then she went to the bathroom, took Qin Feng’s towel out, and tossed it to him.
"What’s that supposed to mean?" Qin Feng asked.
"Use it as a rag to wipe your broken furnace."
"But this is the towel I use for showering. How am I supposed to shower tonight if it gets all dirty?"
"That’s your problem."
Seeing that the fire Qin Feng had started was roaring, Xue Xiaochan went to the fridge, grabbed some lamb skewers, and took out some spices as well.
"What are you doing?" he asked.
"Barbecue, of course! Since you’ve already got the fire going, it’d be a waste not to grill these lamb skewers, wouldn’t it?"
Xue Xiaochan couldn’t be bothered with Qin Feng and started grilling right away.
Before long, the smell of sizzling, oil-dripping lamb skewers filled the air.
Just then, Xue Xiaochan’s phone rang.
It was Xue Yuhang calling, and the smile on her lovely face instantly turned dark.
Xue Yuhang rarely contacted her, and when he did, it never meant anything good.
Thinking this, Xue Xiaochan hung up the phone right away.
But just as she hung up, Xue Yuhang called again.
Reluctantly, Xue Xiaochan answered the call.
"What is it?" she asked.
"Your man, that Qin Feng, is he really a Divine Doctor?"
"What’s really going on?"
"I... Just pass the phone to him, I’d rather talk to him directly."
Xue Yuhang was too embarrassed to say it to Xue Xiaochan, preferring to speak directly with Qin Feng.
Xue Xiaochan, already disliking Xue Yuhang, wasn’t keen on talking to him.
Now that Xue Yuhang requested to speak with Qin Feng, she naturally handed over her phone.
"It’s Xue Yuhang on the line, looking for you," she said.
"What’s he want with me? Could it be he has diagnosed himself with AIDS and the hospital can’t fix it, so he wants to find me?"
Qin Feng, the clever one, guessed it right away!
"AIDS?" Xiaochan realized and nodded, "Now I remember, you mentioned this before, but Xue Yuhang didn’t believe it."
"So should I treat him?"
"You’re treating him, not me. It’s none of my business. Even if you treat him, it’s a favor he owes you, not me."
Xue Xiaochan said this because she knew Qin Feng would definitely treat Xue Yuhang.
Even though Xue Yuhang was a scoundrel, he was still her older brother.
After all, family ties run deep, just like bones connected by tendons!
Qin Feng took the phone and greeted cheerfully, "Hello there, dear brother-in-law!"
"Are you really a Divine Doctor? Can you cure AIDS?" Xue Yuhang asked.
"Brother-in-law, you got AIDS?"
"Who said I’ve got AIDS? How could I possibly have AIDS? It’s a friend of mine, he had a mishap sleeping around and caught AIDS. He’s been to loads of hospitals, and the doctors are clueless. If Western medicine can’t cut it, we can only turn to traditional Chinese medicine. Hasn’t Xiaochan been bragging about you being a Divine Doctor? So I thought I’d give you a call to see if you’re up to it," Xue Yuhang said.
"AIDS, you say? That’s a terminal illness! In this world, it’s incurable. If it were you, brother-in-law, I might treat you for free, without any charge—just go and buy the medicine yourself. But if it’s your friend, the situation gets a bit more complicated. Treating AIDS ain’t cheap; my fee starts in the ten digits, at least."
"Ten digits?"
Xue Yuhang started counting on his fingers.
"One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand..."
After counting, he was stunned.
"You want ten billion?"
"If that’s too expensive, feel free to find someone else."
Qin Feng hung up the phone.
