Chapter 1764: Chapter 1611: Entertainment Tycoon of Another World 41
Fan Chusheng believed that the cultivation resources were withheld by the Fan Family, but they were enough to repay their debt of raising him. From now on, he and the Fan Family are bridges to bridges, roads to roads, and should ideally never have any contact again in their lives.
However, the people from the Fan Family claimed to have relics from Fan Chusheng’s parents to give him. Fan Chusheng still remembered his parents well, recalling how they doted on him. Since these were his parents’ possessions, Fan Chusheng naturally couldn’t refuse.
As a result, Fan Chusheng and Xuan Fire fell into a trap; the Fan Family and those aiming to seize Xuan Fire worked together to separate Fan Chusheng and Xuan Fire.
Fan Chusheng was directly surrounded and attacked, each move aiming for his vitals, going straight for the kill, whereas Xuan Fire was captured alive using a pre-prepared trap.
The attack on Fan Chusheng went smoothly. Although Fan Chusheng had decent cultivation, his opponents were two levels higher than him.
This was to ensure everything went without a hitch, not giving Fan Chusheng a chance to escape alive. Such a meticulous plan made it easy to kill Fan Chusheng.
On Xuan Fire’s side, things did not go as planned. Despite falling into the trap, Xuan Fire resisted desperately and refused to yield. The opponents hesitated to deal a fatal blow, resulting in a misstep that allowed Xuan Fire to break free from the trap.
Unfortunately, even after escaping the trap, Xuan Fire couldn’t run away due to the numerous surrounding enemies. Worried about its master, Xuan Fire was forced to prematurely attempt a Level 5 spirit beast breakthrough to enhance its combat strength.
However, Xuan Fire had just touched the threshold of Level 5 and hadn’t reached the point of breakthrough. The forced attempt, coupled with the people recognizing Xuan Fire’s character as not submissive, killed the idea of taming Xuan Fire.
Fearful that Xuan Fire’s breakthrough to Level 5 would cause trouble, they decided to sabotage it. Consequently, not only did Xuan Fire fail to break through, its core was shattered, its meridians severed, leaving it gravely injured and on the brink of death.
After Hao Ren broke through to Great Xuan Master, ending his seclusion, he received the news of his friend Fan Chusheng’s death, and Xuan Fire’s whereabouts were unknown.
Hao Ren’s family had a strong background. The Hao Family and Zang Family were the two most formidable Xuan Medical Families in Lin Country, with one focused on rescuing people and the other on treating spirit beasts.
In this world, spirit beasts held significant status, with many having developed Spiritual Wisdom, and many able to transform into human form.
These spirit beasts inevitably needed to visit the Spirit Beast Medical Hall for treatment, not to mention the Family Head of Hao Family was the exclusive veterinarian of Lin Country’s National Guardian Beast, Qilin.
With Hao Family’s backing, Hao Ren quickly avenged his friend Fan Chusheng. Whether it was those wanting to seize Xuan Fire or the Fan Family, both were obliterated under Hao Ren’s revenge.
However, even though he avenged Fan Chusheng, Fan Chusheng still died, and Xuan Fire’s whereabouts remained unknown. After Xuan Fire was severely injured, the person who failed to seize Xuan Fire deliberately ordered it to be thrown into the deep mountains.
The person deliberately retaliated against Xuan Fire’s non-compliance, which preferred death over following them. Throwing the grievously injured Xuan Fire into the deep mountains was meant for Xuan Fire to die painfully.
Xuan Fire, being a spirit beast, offered benefits not only to humans if they ate its flesh, but also to mutant beasts, spirit beasts, and even ordinary wild animals.
No longer able to resist and bleeding, being left in a mountain filled with wild animals and mutant beasts, Xuan Fire was bound to be eaten alive, unable to survive.
Due to this, Hao Ren sent people along the path provided by the person who discarded Xuan Fire. When he found no trace of Xuan Fire, he assumed Xuan Fire had died.
Thus, Hao Ren did not continue sending people to search for traces of Xuan Fire. Little did he know, Xuan Fire survived and was sold to Taste Hundred Flavors.
Thinking about this, Hao Ren felt a chill of fear. If Xuan Fire hadn’t encountered Jian Shuangshuang, who discovered Xuan Fire was a spirit beast with Spiritual Wisdom, and generously paid a high price to save Xuan Fire, Xuan Fire would surely have been doomed.
Hao Ren said this and then bowed deeply towards Jian Shuangshuang: "This time, I truly thank Miss Jian for her kindness in saving Xuan Fire. Without her, Xuan Fire would have been lost."
After speaking, Hao Ren presented a small pouch with both hands to Jian Shuangshuang: "Inside is compensation for Miss Jian’s purchase of Xuan Fire, with an extra as a token of thanks. Please be sure to accept it."
Jian Shuangshuang did not take the pouch from Hao Ren’s hands: "There’s no need. When I saved Xuan Fire, I didn’t expect any reward.
Moreover, since I’ve purchased Xuan Fire, I naturally must be responsible for it entirely. As long as you’re willing to wholeheartedly heal Xuan Fire, there’s no need to worry about the medical costs. I will cover them."
Hao Ren’s intention was to keep Xuan Fire, as Xuan Fire was his friend’s most important friend, companion, even family. Hao Ren felt obliged to care for Xuan Fire for his friend.
But since Xuan Fire was also bought by Jian Shuangshuang, it naturally should belong to Jian Shuangshuang. Hao Ren was a bit troubled, yet after glancing at Xuan Fire, he decided to clarify the true situation about Xuan Fire.
"Forget the medical costs. Xuan Fire is something I watched grow up. Charging for its treatment, what kind of person would that make me?
Miss Jian, it’s not that I’m unwilling to let you keep Xuan Fire. Miss Jian, you should know, the injuries Xuan Fire sustained are too severe. Even if healed, it would be just an ordinary snake, incapable of ever fighting again."
Jian Shuangshuang still calmly replied: "No need to worry, Doctor Hao. I am not raising Xuan Fire to be a battle pet. I just quite like this spirit beast that values loyalty."
After finishing, Jian Shuangshuang took out the remaining Purple Gold Coins she had and placed them on a nearby table, saying to Hao Ren: "Even though Xuan Fire is something you watched grow up, I now have a share of responsibility for it.
These are for you, since the spiritual medicine used for its treatment must be numerous. Surely you can’t be expected to cover everything, doing this as a veterinarian could lead to bankruptcy."
Hao Ren picked up Jian Shuangshuang’s Purple Gold Coins and returned them to her hand: "Take the money back. I’ve already said, Xuan Fire is something I watched grow up and is my friend’s baby.
Treating it is a rightful and proper act, how could I accept your money? If you continue, I’ll get upset.
Besides, I have my own motives. I know you like Xuan Fire, but I also wish to care for Xuan Fire for my friend.
Since both of us want to raise Xuan Fire, how about after its injuries are healed, we let Xuan Fire choose who it wants to live with in the future?"
Jian Shuangshuang saw that Hao Ren was firm in not wanting the money, thought for a moment, then took it back. Anyway, between Xuan Fire and Hao Ren, even based on human seniority, Hao Ren could be considered its elder. An elder spending money for a junior’s treatment is also normal.
Regarding Hao Ren’s previous suggestion to let Xuan Fire choose its owner, this was actually kind of cheating.
As he mentioned, Xuan Fire was raised by him, and he treated Xuan Fire well. If Xuan Fire chose by itself, the chances of choosing him would be greater.
