My Pretty Campus Queen

Chapter 1240: Chapter 1240: Medicine King’s Trial 1

Thinking of this, Hao Shuai decided to first pacify this Medicine King. The matter of taking revenge on Chen Tianlong could wait for a month or two. The priority was to learn the skills of the Medicine King. Just earlier, while he was being affectionate with Xue’Er in such a secluded spot among the flowers, the Medicine King discovered them, proving that he certainly had extraordinary abilities.

The Medicine King looked at the young man kneeling on the ground and felt a sigh of relief. He had only one daughter, and simply handing her over like this, if something went wrong, would be troublesome. Hence, he thought it was best to be cautious and first test the young man.

"What’s your name, and where are you from?"

Since he had decided to accept him, the Medicine King had to understand him first.

Hao Shuai, upon hearing this tone, knew there was hope, so he quickly turned his eyes and started fabricating lies, "Hao Shuai, from South Sea City."

Previously, Hao Shuai had already told Xue’Er his name, so it definitely couldn’t be changed now; if he did, it would immediately expose him.

"Hmm, who else is there in your family?" The Medicine King continued to ask.

"I have parents, originally had a younger brother, but..."

At this point, Hao Shuai really began to feel a bit sad. Thinking of his brother dying like that, and how his parents were heartbroken, sadness welled up within him.

"But what?" The Medicine King asked with a bit of confusion when he saw Hao Shuai’s expression turn into sadness.

"He was killed by someone," Hao Shuai gritted his teeth and said. At this moment, he was not acting but truly revealing the resentment in his heart.

"Dad, don’t ask anymore, Shuai is so pitiful," Xue’Er was completely moved by Hao Shuai’s emotion, walked over, and hugged him.

"Hmph! Want to marry my daughter, no way." The Medicine King was testing Hao Shuai’s sincerity, then pulled Xue’Er up and ran toward the small hut.

And Hao Shuai stood up, walked and begged, "Father-in-law, please let Xue’Er marry me, I will surely treat her well."

"Hmph! Anyone can say that with their mouth, Xue’Er is a simple girl, too naive about the ways of the world, now she’s bewitched by you kid. I have no choice."

Wang Yu turned back and gave Hao Shuai a glare, continuing to pull Xue’Er toward the small hut.

Before long, they arrived beside the small hut. Hao Shuai felt it was about time and knelt on the ground with a thud, starting to shout, "I beg you, Father-in-law, to give Xue’Er’s hand in marriage to me, or I will kneel here endlessly."

The Medicine King stopped in his tracks, coldly chuckled, and said, "If you like kneeling, then kneel. Xue’Er, let’s go inside, the sun is really harsh, someone won’t be able to stand it and will leave on their own later."

Of course, Xue’Er was unwilling, but with the Medicine King holding her hand, she couldn’t disobey. So, she reluctantly followed her father into the room.

The midday spring sun was exceptionally fierce, though not as scorching as in summer, it was still uncomfortable. The mountain mist evaporated slowly under the sunlight. At this time, Hao Shuai was already drenched in sweat and feeling very uncomfortable.

However, as they say, Hao Family members are very patient, truly good material for cultivating demon skills, possessing an indomitable spirit. Half an hour later, Xue’Er couldn’t sit still anymore, so she stood up with a start, ready to walk out the door.

"Stop, you’re not allowed to go anywhere. If you dare to step out of this door, I will immediately kill that kid." The Medicine King did not stop her but directly threatened.

Xue’Er knew how formidable her father was, although her Shui might seem strong too, her father’s strength lay in his expertise with drugs. Poisoning was the Medicine King’s most powerful technique. In fact, the Medicine King was also known as the Poison King; to enemies, he was the Poison King, to patients, he was the Medicine King.

At this moment, Xue’Er had no choice but to come back. She understood her father’s personality; once he said something, he meant it. If provoked, he could really kill her Shuai in a fit of rage, leaving her with no time to cry.

"Alright, alright, Dad, don’t be angry, I won’t go." Xue’Er could only dismiss the idea and stay obediently in the room.

So, the two started chatting. Wang Yu told Xue’Er about his various experiences over the past ten days, and slowly, Xue’Er forgot that Hao Shuai was still kneeling outside.

As time passed, the sky gradually darkened. Seeing the room’s light dimming, Xue’Er suddenly remembered that her Shuai was still kneeling outside.

She hurriedly stood up and said, "Dad, it’s dark, I want to go check on Shuai."

"You’re not allowed to go, I’m hungry. Go to the kitchen and prepare something for me to eat, and don’t pay attention to that kid."

The Medicine King had not let go of Hao Shuai yet. He wanted to test the man’s endurance. If he couldn’t endure this small bit of suffering, how could he pass on his teachings in the future?

It seemed his daughter had already become Hao Shuai’s person, so it would be fitting to pass on his lineage to Hao Shuai. His daughter wasn’t suitable for learning those poisonous cultivation techniques, and one must endure the pain of multiple poison invasions to cultivate his poison immunity technique.

This is the legendary Body Refinement.

Only by mastering the poison immunity cultivation technique could one handle all poisons, because a poison master is easily exposed to their own poison or attacked by the opponent’s poison.

If he were easily poisoned himself, then it wouldn’t be called a unique skill. Not only would others be poisoned, but he would be too, which would be quite laughable.

Wang Xue listened to her father’s words and walked past Hao Shuai. She had initially wanted to greet him but feared angering her father and causing him to kill Hao Shuai in a fit of pique.

So, she pretended not to see him and directly walked past, as Hao Shuai looked up, expecting a commitment, only to see Xue’Er ignoring him, headed directly to the kitchen.

Hao Shuai felt a sense of frustration. He intended to put on an act; Xue’Er loved him so much she would surely find a way to let him stand up, but unexpectedly, she didn’t pay any attention to him.

However, he figured that the Medicine King was testing him, so he endured, determined to hold on, believing that if he passed this test, his future would take a major turn.

Earlier, his illness had been so severe, and yet a few touches from Xue’Er had healed him. And that Wu Guangzu, whose meridians were severely blocked, was also healed soon after Xue’Er’s treatment, which was really heaven-defying.

If the Medicine King personally taught and bestowed his unique secret technique upon him, wouldn’t he become extremely formidable in the future?

Thinking of this, Hao Shuai felt pleased. In his view, the suffering no longer seemed so harsh. He gritted his teeth, determined to endure this time no matter what.

In the blink of an eye, the sun was setting, and Xue’Er had prepared fragrant dishes and brought them into the house. At this moment, Hao Shuai was drooling, but without the Medicine King’s permission, Xue’Er didn’t dare to let Hao Shuai come over.
