Heavenly Dragon Doctor Son-in-Law-Chapter 97 - 98: News about Snow Heart Grass!

"Although we’re poor, we can’t enjoy life with money earned by selling our conscience," Tang De said, being the more level-headed of the two.

"Dad, Qin Long said he accepted a condolence payment from the government," Tang Xuewu rushed to explain, holding nothing back. "It seems to be from his time in the army."

Tang De lit a cigarette, his brow furrowed in thought.

What rank would a person have to be to receive ten million as a condolence payment for an injury? Clearly, my daughter doesn’t know, so asking her would be pointless.

"Mom, Dad, Qin Long already has a place in my heart," Tang Xuewu confessed, finally saying everything in one breath as she clenched her fists. "Over these past three years, spending day and night together, he has quietly found his way into my heart. I still can’t forget the boy who saved me when I was little, but Qin Long’s character and abilities are better than Wang Ming’s. Even though he’s disabled, I believe he’ll stand on his own two feet again."

Zhang Meilan, for once, didn’t launch into a tirade. While marrying Wang Ming and becoming Mrs. Wang would mean truly making it big, the wealth Qin Long had displayed was quite remarkable. She found herself constantly comparing the two, momentarily speechless.

"Sigh... Xuewu, even if we agree to you two dating," her mother began, "the Tang Family’s fiftieth-anniversary celebration is just around the corner. Young Master Wang has already secretly told me that he plans to propose to you then. What are we going to do?"

Hearing this, Tang Xuewu could only shake her head helplessly. "If it comes to that, I’ll just fake an illness or go on a trip to clear my head," she said with some displeasure before turning to leave.

「On the other side.」

Qin Long took out the Golden Needle again and began his treatment. It was clear that the sessions over this period had already healed most of his meridians. Unfortunately, the meridians in his legs had yet to recover. He was still waiting for Zhao Ruoying to find the Snow Heart Grass. Once it was found, he would be able to stand before Tang Xuewu again. Then, it would be time for the Heavenly Dragon to emerge once more.

Qin Long’s gaze was icy as he felt the meridians in his right leg.

Qiu Hu, I hope you don’t regret this. While my strength and body haven’t recovered, you still have a chance to kill me. But once I regain my power, I’m afraid you won’t even have the chance to go to hell.

Just as Qin Long was about to sleep, his phone rang with a call from Zhao Ruoying.

"Young Master Qin, great news! I have news about the Snow Heart Grass!" Zhao Ruoying’s voice was electric with excitement.

"What!" Qin Long shot up in bed. Even as the former Heavenly Dragon, he couldn’t control his excitement. After all, this meant he could stand again and recover his full strength!

"Are you sure it’s real?" Qin Long asked slowly, forcing himself to suppress his elation. Zhao Ruoying had investigated dozens of herbs, but none had been the right one.

"I’m certain, Young Master Qin. It perfectly matches your description of the Snow Heart Grass," Zhao Ruoying explained with utter confidence. "And it’s a medicinal herb from the Extreme Cold Land."

"Can you send me a photo?" Qin Long asked after a moment’s thought, still feeling a little uncertain.

"I’ve already sent it to you!"

Qin Long opened WeChat, his body trembling involuntarily. It was indeed the Snow Heart Grass he had longed for! This was the very herb needed to repair the leg meridians damaged during cultivation, and it was exceptionally precious. Combined with the other medicines he had taken, his right leg could definitely make a full recovery.

"That’s it! Where did you find it?" Qin Long shouted, unable to contain his excitement.

"Young Master Qin, please calm down," Zhao Ruoying said. "I’ve already had a friend pay a deposit to secure it. I’ll come pick you up in person tomorrow, and we can go get it together."

Zhao Ruoying had realized that Qin Long was an extraordinary individual and was determined to use this opportunity to get into his good graces.

Qin Long hung up.

Staring at the bright, warm moonlight outside, his agitated heart began to calm. Although he was only twenty-one this year, his mind was often steadier than that of many old men. After all, ten years of battle on the field had taught him one thing: always prepare for the worst.

He was desperate to get the Snow Heart Grass, but he couldn’t assume it was a sure thing. An herb this precious would naturally be sought after by many.

Qin Long slowly opened a pack of cigarettes, took one out, and lit it. A self-mocking smile touched his lips.

The Heavenly Dragon, once the celebrated commander of the Heavenly Dragon Army, a war dragon who single-handedly fought forty-nine martial masters from an enemy nation... to think I would end up destitute in Jiangzhong, only to be saved by Tang Xuewu. And the famed Jiuyang Medical Immortal, renowned for his skills, couldn’t even cure himself. Wouldn’t it be a huge joke if word got out? But in my downfall, I met a girl as pure as an angel. I want to spend the rest of my life protecting her. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Whenever Qin Long thought of Xuewu, his eyes filled with tenderness. He had stayed with the Tang Family to protect her. I promised to protect you for a lifetime, and I will never go back on my word. No matter what the future holds, whether the universe is overturned or the sun and moon reverse their course, Tang Xuewu will always be the only love of my life.

The night passed in silence. Although Jiangzhong couldn’t compare to a first-tier metropolis, its development over the years had brought it on par with a second or third-tier city. All in all, it was a very decent place to live. Qin Long drank a glass of water and decided to go to sleep.

「On the other hand.」

In the supreme VIP room of Jiangzhong’s Kunlong Entertainment Venue, the interior was dazzlingly luxurious. Inside a red-themed office, a beautiful woman in her late twenties sat with her jade-like legs propped up on a red mahogany desk. Her figure was stunning. She wore her hair in a ponytail, and her clothes were so revealing they barely covered anything. However, an intimidating aura emanated from her fox-like, peach-blossom eyes, making it clear she was no ordinary person.

Anyone from the underworld would treat her with the utmost respect. This was Yang Fei, the second queen of Jiangzhong’s underworld.

"Sister Fei, that’s more or less what happened," a middle-aged man reported, bowing his head respectfully. It was Chen Kun, the man who had led the attack on Han Bing.

"You’re telling me a cripple with one bad leg burst in and, despite being surrounded by nearly a hundred guards, killed Han Bing with a single slap?" Yang Fei lit a lady’s cigarette and took a deep drag. "And on top of that, Jiang Gong personally went to Binhai District to get him out, and even the Supervision Department got involved?"

"Yes, Sister Fei! My subordinate is involved with one of the female guards who was there. She told him everything herself, since she was also taken in for questioning," Chen Kun immediately asserted, patting his chest.

Yang Fei exhaled a smoke ring, puzzled, and sank into thought.

"You’re saying that when you ran into him yesterday, he didn’t make a move and even let you clean up the scene?" Yang Fei asked after extinguishing her cigarette.

"Yes, that’s exactly what happened," Chen Kun confirmed with a firm nod after a moment of thought.

Upon hearing this, a smile spread across Yang Fei’s face. This man is very clever. She instantly understood everything. After all, she was the second queen of Jiangzhong.

"Haha, from now on, your Sister Fei won’t be the *second* queen anymore!" Yang Fei laughed heartily. Her pale, slender, jade-like legs slowly lowered to the floor. She picked up a teacup with her left hand and gently brushed a stray hair back with her right, her peach-blossom eyes gazing out the window.
