Romantic Medical Immortal-Chapter 259: Unexpected Encounter with a Childhood Friend from the Same Village

Chapter 259: Chapter 259: Unexpected Encounter with a Childhood Friend from the Same Village

"Whoa, it’s you!"

They locked eyes, speaking in unison.

Their expressions were incredibly vivid.

Especially Yang Cheng, who couldn’t have imagined running into a childhood friend here.

Back when Yang Cheng moved to the village, he met the young man in front of him.

His name was Li Daniu!

He was Yang Cheng’s best playmate back then, and they went to the township middle school together every day.

However, in the second year of middle school, Daniu was expelled for fighting. With poor grades, he didn’t transfer but went to the county town to work.

After that, Yang Cheng lost contact with Daniu.

Yang Cheng was surprised to see how much Daniu had changed over the years.

Daniu used to be very robust, standing out in middle school, capable of taking on five people at once.

But now he seemed so weak, it was truly surprising.

"You know each other?"

Xu Yuexuan, seeing the two of them staring wide-eyed at each other, looked puzzled and asked.

"Yes, he’s my friend."

Yang Cheng nodded slightly and replied.

"Yang Cheng, I’ve missed you so much!"

These words snapped Li Daniu out of his trance. He took big strides toward Yang Cheng and gave him a tight hug, eyes filled with longing.

Having not seen each other for so long, Yang Cheng missed him too. He hugged Li Daniu, gently patting his back.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Suddenly, Li Daniu coughed violently, as if he’d been hit hard.

???

Seeing this, Yang Cheng was puzzled and quickly let go of Li Daniu, looking oddly at him. He clearly hadn’t used much force, so why was this happening?

It was definitely a level of strength a normal person could endure.

He couldn’t help but ask, "What’s wrong with you?"

"I’m... I’m fine!"

Li Daniu released Yang Cheng, his eyes shifting evasively as he stammered, "I’m fine, just got a cold recently and haven’t fully recovered, so my body is a bit weak, cough, cough... Don’t worry, I’m actually very strong."

Strong, really?

Any normal person wouldn’t believe such nonsense. Yang Cheng thought to himself and activated his X-ray Vision to silently check on Li Daniu’s condition.

His skin gradually became transparent!

His internal organs were openly displayed in Yang Cheng’s eyes.

It wasn’t a cold!

What shocked Yang Cheng was that Li Daniu’s Essence Qi was pathetically low, even less than that of a child. At twenty-something years of age, Li Daniu should be at his peak physically, but such low Essence Qi was clearly abnormal.

"Hey, why are you looking at me like that? I’m really okay!"

Seeing Yang Cheng’s strange gaze, Li Daniu’s face changed slightly. He shot a glance at Xu Yuexuan, looking even more embarrassed.

"Alright, as long as you’re fine."

Yang Cheng understood that Li Daniu must have unspeakable troubles but couldn’t talk about them in front of Xu Yuexuan.

He would wait for an opportunity when they were alone to get to the bottom of it.

"Whew!" Li Daniu let out a small sigh of relief and then asked, "Yang Cheng, is there something you want to buy at the store? I’m the boss here. Pick anything you want; I’ll give... an eighty percent discount!!"

"Daniu, you’re doing really well now, actually doing business in the underground market."

Yang Cheng was quite surprised, as only those worth five billion yuan could enter the underground market, and doing business here was no simple task.

"If it were my store, that would be great, but I’m just a worker!"

Li Daniu sighed slightly, helpless.

Yang Cheng asked again, "Then you must earn quite a bit, right?"

Talking about salary perked Li Daniu up instantly. He patted his chest, saying, "I’m making 200,000 yuan a month now!"

"That much!"

Yang Cheng was momentarily surprised, then heavily patted Li Daniu’s shoulder and said, "With such a high income, take me out for drinks after you get off work."

"No problem." Li Daniu readily agreed, patting his chest in assurance, while his eyes fell on Xu Yuexuan. Seeing her stunning figure, he raised his eyebrows with a cheeky grin, saying, "Way to go, brother! You’ve found a beauty."

Beauty??

Hearing this, Xu Yuexuan couldn’t help but laugh and said, "Beauty? I could be your aunt, young man!"

"Aunt??"

Li Daniu was momentarily stunned, then subtly gave Yang Cheng a thumbs-up and whispered, "Brother, you’re amazing. How can you handle an aunt like this physically?"

"..."

Yang Cheng rolled his eyes helplessly at his words.

This guy not only got weaker but also became quite glib, leaving Yang Cheng unsure of how to respond.

"Hehehe!"

Xu Yuexuan chuckled again at Li Daniu’s words, gave Yang Cheng a meaningful glance, and then said to Li Daniu, "Your good brother here, not only can handle it but is quite vigorous, almost kept me from getting out of bed."

"That impressive?"

Li Daniu looked shocked, getting acknowledged by an ’aunt’ must mean he’s truly excellent.

"Of course, why else would I be willing to accompany him to the underground market? This aunt is already conquered by your brother both physically and mentally."

Xu Yuexuan kept giggling.

Normally, being praised like this by a lady companion, a man should feel quite flattered, but for some reason, Yang Cheng felt odd. He promptly interrupted their banter, saying, "Alright, alright, stop teasing me. Daniu, I want to buy some poison, show me what you’ve got."

"Sure, follow me!"

Li Daniu nodded slightly, immediately leading Yang Cheng and Xu Yuexuan around the store.

Though the store wasn’t big, there were various kinds of poisons inside.

Some were extremely potent; just a little could mean no chance of survival, and others were milder, needing a few doses to kill. Also, some could paralyze without causing death.

There were even poisons to make women obedient!

A wide variety, dazzling!

"I need the most potent poison you have, show it to me!"

Yang Cheng wanted to use poison to enhance his strength, so the stronger the poison, the better. Those with weak toxicity weren’t worth looking at.

"What, are you trying to kill someone?"

Li Daniu looked at Yang Cheng with surprise and asked curiously.

Yang Cheng replied, "You don’t need to worry about that, just show it to me."

"Alright!"

Li Daniu felt Yang Cheng was a bit strange but didn’t ask further and immediately took a red bottle from the shelf, saying, "This is the strongest poison we have in the store, called Poison Heart Pill. Once ingested, not even an elephant could last half an hour."

"That powerful?"

Yang Cheng took the bottle, opened it, and sniffed.

There was no smell at all.

"Hey, don’t sniff it from the top like that."

Upon seeing this, Li Daniu quickly covered the bottle’s mouth, saying, "This Poison Heart Pill is concocted by our boss personally, the most potent in the store. Even its scent can kill a person... I’m curious, what are you buying the Poison Heart Pill for?"

"I’m going to take it myself!"

Yang Cheng laughed, pushing aside Li Daniu’s hand and bringing the bottle to his lips. One tiny Poison Heart Pill after another fell into his mouth like grains of rice.
