Chapter 746: Chapter 823 Brother-in-law You Are Not Righteous
Li Xiao turned around and upon seeing Chen Nan, quickly ran over, “I ca to visit my mischievous cousin, what are you doing here?”
“I’m accompanying a friend.”
Chen Nan scratched his head and asked, “Isn’t it your cousin’s birthday today? What happened to him?”
Li Xiao sighed, “Don’t even ntion it. That kid is too mischievous. Just this afternoon, he fell off his bike and broke his leg. He just finished surgery and is lying in the hospital room now!”
“Kids, how many of them aren’t mischievous?” Chen Nan said, “Which room is he in? I’ll go take a look too.”
Li Xiao nodded, “Sure, he has always idolized you. This morning, he was still asking why that domineering brother-in-law who snatched the bride didn’t co.”
Chen Nan nodded and said leisurely, “Can’t help it, eh, being too handso, too charming; irresistible to both n and won.”
“Get lost, you narcissist.”
Li Xiao rolled her eyes at him and then led the way ahead.
Chen Nan quickly grabbed her, “Don’t rush. When visiting a patient, I can’t go empty-handed.”
“It’s fine, just showing up is enough.” Li Xiao pulled him towards the hospital room.
Chen Nan felt helpless.
He covertly selected a ginseng from his storage ring.
He did not dare to take out the largest ones for fear of frightening people, but even the smallest one had more than two thousand years of growth and was about a foot long.
Such a ginseng, among the spiritual dicines collected by Black Feathered Chicken, was considered the least valuable. Yet if it were auctioned off, a two-thousand-year-old ginseng would surely be a treasure of imnse value, eagerly sought after by the world’s wealthy.
In the hospital room, besides Li Xiao’s cousin, there was a middle-aged couple—Li Xiao’s uncle and aunt, the parents of her cousin.
Chen Nan walked in with Li Xiao and had just greeted the elders when the boy on the bed excitedly called out, “Brother-in-law, you’re here! Big sis, you’re aweso!”
“Don’t move around.”
Li Xiao quickly went forward to hold him down and laughed, “Being so excited, if your bones get misaligned, you’ll be in pain.”
“Hehe, it’s just that I’m too excited to see my idol.” The little guy scratched his head and looked to Chen Nan, “Brother-in-law, I’m Zhao Kai, you can just call Xiao Kai.”
Chen Nan walked up to the bedside and covertly took out the ginseng, handing it to the youngster, “Xiao Kai, I don’t have any fancy gifts to give you. Take this ginseng, it’s good for your injury, but rember, you must split it up to serve at least a hundred tis when eating. Otherwise, the dicine is too potent, and your small body might not be able to handle it.”
“This ginseng is huge!”
Zhao Kai received it with a beaming face, “Thank you, brother-in-law!”
Chen Nan shook his head with a smile, but before he could speak, Zhao Kai’s parents stepped forward, insisting, “Chen Nan, this won’t do. We appreciate your concern for Xiao Kai, but this gift is too precious, we absolutely can’t accept it.”
Chen Nan shook his head with a smile, “Now, that’s not right. What’s mine is Xiao Xiao’s, and we’re all family here. If you can’t accept this, then you’re looking down on .”
“This…”
The couple was at a loss for words.
“Don’t hesitate. Xiao Xiao’s brother is my brother too. If you keep refusing, then you really see as an outsider,” Chen Nan said.
“Then we really thank you,” they said.
Chen Nan smiled and said, “However, you two must be careful with this ginseng. Its efficacy is quite strong, and it should be divided into at least a hundred portions. If you consu it all at once, the consequences would be unthinkable. With an injury like Xiao Kai’s, I estimate that two or three doses should suffice for his recovery.”
The couple knew that the ginseng was a treasure, but upon hearing Chen Nan’s words that their son could recover after two or three doses, they couldn’t help but feel extrely excited.
“So, how often should he take it for the best results?”
“Before the injury heals, once every two days. After all, the wound needs to absorb the dicinal properties. Once he’s healed, once a week to improve his physique and strengthen his body,” Chen Nan explained.
The couple nodded repeatedly, “Right, Xiao Chen, you study dicine, don’t you?”
“Sothing like that,” Chen Nan nodded and smiled. “My master cos from a family of physicians, with incredibly superb skills.”
Chen Nan could only explain it this way; he certainly couldn’t tell them that Xuan Tianji was the master of poisons and dicine. Even if he did, they might not understand, since they were not people of the martial arts world.
The couple nodded again and again, praising Li Xiao for her good judgnt and Chen Nan for his accomplishnts at a young age.
anwhile, the little guy Zhao Kai, with his eyes rolling, scratched his head and said, “Brother-in-law, how did you chase my sister? Share so experience with , so in the future, I can marry soone as beautiful as my sister.”
At these words, everyone laughed.
Just a ten-year-old kid, and already thinking about how to charm girls in the future.
Chen Nan pinched his little face and said with a smile, “You little rascal, when you grow up, your brother-in-law will surely teach you, alright?”
“I’m already ten, not a little kid!” Zhao Kai protested with dissatisfaction.
Chen Nan patted his head and laughed, “Ten years old won’t do, wait until you’re eighteen, and I’ll teach you how to chase a girl as beautiful as your sister.”
The little guy pouted, “Brother-in-law, you are not straightforward at all; I even thought of you as my idol!”
Hearing this, not only did Chen Nan laugh, but his parents also couldn’t close their mouths with glee, thinking that with their son’s personality, he probably wouldn’t have trouble finding a wife in the future.
Chen Nan smiled helplessly and said, “Since you say your brother-in-law is not being generous, then I’ll perform a magic trick for you, so you can get out of bed and walk right away, how about that?”
“Really?” Zhao Kai was brimming with excitent.
Chen Nan nodded, “Of course, but you have to promise your brother-in-law that you’ll always co first in every exam from now on.”
Zhao Kai, grinning ear to ear, said, “No problem, I’ve always been the top student, no one can take that away from .”
Chen Nan glanced at the door, “Xiao Xiao, go close the door, don’t let anyone in.”
Li Xiao nodded and left.
After she closed the door, Chen Nan had already secretly taken so dicinal herbs from his storage ring and held them in his hand. He turned to the couple and said, “Aunt and uncle, sothing strange is going to happen, but please keep it a secret and don’t tell anybody.”
The couple nodded in agreent.
Chen Nan started circulating his Inner Strength, and demonic Qi began to surge in his palm, enveloping the dicinal herbs as he slowly refined them.
Since the last ti at Sky Sword Sect when he reversed his Demon Technique, it seed as if the ntal thod of the Demon Technique had turned into his core ntal thod. His previously cultivated white Inner Strength was nowhere to be found, and every ti he practiced Qi Movent, the Demon Technique would automatically reverse, and the Demonic Qi completely replaced his forr Inner Strength.
Although Chen Nan found this quite puzzling, he was also powerless to change it.
The reversed Demon Technique, though powerful, did not bode well for Chen Nan if it continued like this. After all, last ti Xuan Tianji had even asked his junior sister to pass on a ssage, saying the Demon Technique was a tribulation fated within his life, and he should be careful in handling it.
