Chapter 83 Bait? Heh (2/2)
Su Jiu didn’t share her speculation with the dragon hunter. After opening the door, she found the male student earnestly taking out some hemostatic medicine from his backpack.
“Madam, please put down the child. I need to check if she’s injured.”
The woman, however, was nervously looking around, clutching the girl tightly, appearing very scared. When Su Jiu opened the door, she seemed to pause slightly.
“Wuwu…”
Her gaze swept past the disheveled hair, but upon seeing Su Jiu, she resumed her trembling demeanor. Her pale hands retracted into her sleeves, as if trying to conceal something.
“Is the glucose ready?”
The male student hadn’t noticed these details. Hearing the door open, he turned and reached out. Upon seeing Su Jiu, his gaze gradually turned unfriendly, his tone chilling as he asked, “What are you doing here?”
“Assisting. Those people asked me to come in and help.”
Without losing her temper, Su Jiu smiled at the male student. Once she decided to do something, she wouldn’t act impulsively, and moreover…
When Su Jiu approached the woman, she glanced sideways and noticed a seemingly red ribbon-like ornament around the girl’s neck in the woman’s hand. However, upon closer inspection, it didn’t look like a ribbon… it looked like some kind of vine.
The end of the red ribbon was hidden by the woman’s long sleeves, as if she were concealing something.
As if noticing Su Jiu’s gaze, the woman seemed to wince in pain, trembled slightly, and turned away. The red ribbon was no longer visible.
“That dragon hunter is really amateurish, letting just anyone in. Oh well, I could use someone to apply the medicine anyway.”
The male student frowned, glanced at Su Jiu, and handed her a potion bottle with a faint green hue. He instructed, “Here, go apply this to her back wound. Don’t spill it; I only have one bottle, and this stuff is very volatile.”
“Without this assistance, I won’t be able to treat her, as I haven’t reached the Advanced Stage Warrior level yet.”
Then, his fingers began to glow green, with leaves seeming to float around him. He closed his eyes, his expression unusually serious, as if he were using the Spring Bloom Technique.
“Oh, oh.”
Su Jiu retracted her gaze and responded repeatedly, slowly taking the potion. She walked behind the woman and examined the zipper-like wound on her back. It was roughly similar to the man’s wound, appearing to be caused by a chain-like object.
Wait… a chain-like object? The man’s neck also looked like it had been dragged by a chain.
The red ribbon flashed through Su Jiu’s mind. If she wasn’t mistaken, the Nightmare’s avatar’s weapon might be this red ribbon…
She had to save this child.
Her eyes narrowed slightly as she slowly applied the medicine. Just as she was wondering how to proceed,
“Ah! It hurts so much! What are you doing!”
The moment the medicine dripped, the woman suddenly sat up, pointed at Su Jiu, and shouted. Her face looked distorted. Then, while Su Jiu was contemplating, the medicine bottle was knocked over by the woman’s arm and shattered.
“Crack!”
The green liquid splashed everywhere on the ground, accompanied by the sound of popping bubbles, and rapidly evaporated.
Hearing the commotion, the male student suddenly opened his eyes. He looked at Su Jiu with anger and suddenly stood up, questioning, “Didn’t I tell you to be careful? How did you break it?”
“Did the medicine irritate the wound?”
A hint of confusion flashed in Su Jiu’s eyes. She looked at the woman, and in her disheveled hair, Su Jiu thought she saw a hint of mockery.
What did she mean?
Even if she was the culprit, with this amount of bleeding, if she refused treatment, someone with a low level would likely go into shock quickly.
Su Jiu could have reacted earlier, wanting to avoid exposure while also seeing what the woman intended to do. However, the woman’s actions were somewhat baffling to her.
The male student’s face was extremely unpleasant. He said with a dark expression, “How could it irritate it? This auxiliary medicine is like an anesthetic; it’s the mildest.”
Su Jiu’s eyes narrowed, and she murmured inwardly: The mildest, huh…
Soon, their commotion attracted others. The door was pushed open, and Lu Xin walked in, asking with a puzzled expression, “What’s wrong?”
Seeing Lu Xin enter, the male student’s face flushed with anger. He pointed at the shattered glass bottle below and cursed, “Look, the person you found, she can’t even hold an auxiliary medicine bottle steady. Now the auxiliary medicine is gone.”
Ignoring the male student, Su Jiu lowered her head. A sharp glint flashed in her eyes. The words of the middle-aged dragon hunter echoed in her mind. She slowly looked up at the woman and murmured, “Could it be…”
Seeing Su Jiu looking down and not speaking, the male student thought she had admitted fault. His anger subsided somewhat, and he sighed, saying to the dazed Lu Xin,
“Sigh… now we can only stop at a nearby station to send this Madam and her daughter to a nearby hospital.”
Upon hearing this, the woman seemed to regain her senses. She hugged her daughter and said in a low voice, “I’m sorry, I was too scared. My shoulder hurt, and I didn’t notice the young lady holding the medicine.”
“Young man, could I trouble you to keep using the Spring Bloom Technique to escort me to the next hospital? I will be heavily rewarded.”
The woman looked up at the male student, appearing somewhat pitiful. She slightly revealed the ring on her hand, which was inlaid with a Magic Crystal, indicating that her background was not ordinary.
The male student initially wanted to refuse, but after seeing the Magic Crystal ring in her hand, he couldn’t help but nod. Although the Spring Bloom Technique consumed vitality, it was beneficial to earn some money.
For a university student like himself, earning tens of thousands of yuan would be a rare opportunity!
Just as he was about to agree, Su Jiu suddenly spoke up. With a faint smile, she said, “Sister, I can treat you without the need for medicine.”
Hearing this, the woman was slightly taken aback. She looked down at Su Jiu, subtly moved her fingers on her left hand, and managed a smile, asking, “Little sister, are you joking?”
“You…!”
The male student immediately became angry. He looked at Su Jiu, who couldn’t even hold a medicine bottle steady, and dared to say she could heal without auxiliary medicine?
Damn it, wasn’t that nonsense? Why didn’t you come and treat her directly just now? Now that it’s just about saving a life, you’re coming to steal business?
Blocking someone’s path to wealth is like killing their parents.
The male student’s anger reached its peak. Just as he was about to utter some curses, Lu Xin spoke up first, “Madam, the young lady next to you, the one in the Hanfu, indeed has this ability. She has an Intermediate Potion Badge. You might not know what it means, but this young medical student should know, right?”
“A Potion Badge can also be called a Medical Badge. She has an intermediate one? Even Battle Generals don’t have that honor! How is that possible?”
Upon hearing this, the male student first found it unbelievable, then ridiculous. He wanted to say more, but at the next moment, Lu Xin grabbed his arm and pulled him out without giving him much explanation.
“Alright, student. The rest can be handled by this badge holder.”
“I… I can assist.”
He wanted to struggle, but how could he, who only assisted in healing bloodlines, be a match for Lu Xin of the Divine Ape lineage? He looked at the woman’s ring in the room with reluctance.
“Pop!”
Su Jiu closed the door, and a dark green radiance emanated from her hand. Her body turned away from the woman, and she suddenly asked, “Madam, may I see your daughter? She seems to be injured.”
“Such pure life force.”
The woman glanced at the closed door, her gaze falling on Su Jiu’s hand. A greedy glint flashed in her eyes. What was about to be a refusal turned into—”Of course, dear. She seems to be injured too.”
A plump prey, hehe… If I kill her, perhaps Little Nightmare can respond directly to her needs?
