“Did we really run into something unclean?” Aunt Mei asked, her face pale and a little frightened.
“This… how is that possible?” Dr. Ma was still somewhat skeptical, but what he saw before him was truly real.
Jiang Wei felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation. He had always felt something pressing down on him, but at this moment, he felt light. He quickly said gratefully to Li Se, “Divine Doctor Li, thank you for saving my life!”
Li Se put away the bronze coin and said, “Don’t always think that being full of yang energy and vitality means you can tomb raid every day without issue. From a Feng Shui perspective, we cannot predict the quantity or danger level of unclean entities. Therefore, during archaeological work, one should still be prepared, carrying talismans for warding off evil, like Buddhist prayer beads. Additionally, if you truly encounter unclean entities and cannot avoid them, you can spit at them. Having phlegm is best, as saliva is known as Jin Ye, which belongs to Yang. This is a bullet that everyone carries with them to deal with evil spirits.”
“I understand.” Jiang Wei nodded heavily. He had never believed in these superstitious things before. He even dismissed the taboos his colleagues spoke of when they went tomb raiding, but he hadn’t taken them seriously. Thinking about it now, he felt a chill of lingering fear.
“Also, in the future, if you get home during the day, cut some fresh ginger and drink it with sugar water. This will boost your yang energy. If you get home at night, you can prepare a brazier and walk over it, or prepare to soak your feet in hot ginger water,” Li Se continued to instruct.
“Okay!” Jiang Wei nodded.
Aunt Mei was now filled with apologies and guilt. Her attitude towards Li Se had been truly terrible before. She had judged him as a swindler before even witnessing his capabilities. Thinking of this, she felt an urge to kneel and apologize.
After Jiang Wei and Aunt Mei expressed their gratitude again, they paid the consultation fee. Of course, they weren’t like Shen Long and the others, who gave tens of millions. However, they still gave around one million.
As for Dr. Ma, he had already slunk away.
“Thank you,” Qian Yinghong said with a smile.
“You’re welcome. I also received a consultation fee of one million, which is quite substantial,” Li Se smiled.
“Can I treat you to a meal?” Qian Yinghong invited.
Li Se thought for a moment and felt like he had nothing else planned. Just as he was about to agree, Su Mei’s call came through. When he answered, he heard her very lazy and extremely seductive voice: “Little brother, where are you? I haven’t properly thanked you for healing me.”
Hearing Su Mei’s voice, the scene from the hotel last night flashed in Li Se’s mind. Her delicate body made him feel somewhat unable to extricate himself. He had almost fallen into her trap. He quickly shook his head, intending to refuse directly, as he sometimes couldn’t control his composure around Su Mei.
“If you don’t come, I’ll come to Ji Shi Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic to pick you up,” Su Mei’s voice came again.
“Alright.” Li Se had no choice but to agree. If Su Mei really went to the clinic, Huang Shanshan would likely misunderstand again.
Qian Yinghong said softly, “What’s wrong? A beauty is calling?”
Li Se chuckled awkwardly and didn’t explain much. After parting ways with Qian Yinghong, he drove to Sheng Long Hotel. As soon as he parked, he saw a beautiful figure. Su Mei was standing there, attracting countless gazes. A second-generation rich guy even went up to strike up a conversation.
“Beautiful lady, can we get acquainted?” The second-generation rich guy was handsome and holding flowers, clearly prepared in advance.
“I’m sorry, I already have a boyfriend,” Su Mei said with a smile. Her every smile and glance was enough to make one infatuated.
The second-generation rich guy’s mouth was practically watering. He had been with many women and seen many beautiful women, but none were as charming and seductive as Su Mei.
“It’s okay, you can dump your boyfriend. I’ll be your boyfriend,” the second-generation rich guy said impatiently. “As long as you come with me, I will cherish you like a treasure, give you a villa, a luxury car, anything you desire, I will agree to fulfill it!”
“Is that so…” Su Mei appeared to be considering it, giving the second-generation rich guy some hope. He couldn’t help but get excited. Would he succeed today?
Just then, Li Se happened to walk over. Su Mei waved her hand, “My boyfriend is here. If he agrees, I can go with you. The hotel is right there, we can book a room anytime!”
These words made the second-generation rich guy feel as if he had been injected with chicken blood. He immediately glanced at Li Se, took out his wallet, and threw out about ten thousand yuan in cash, saying, “Take the money and get lost. Your woman is mine now.”
Li Se didn’t even bother to catch it, so the wad of money fell to the ground. He looked at the second-generation rich guy as if he were an idiot and said, “Do I look like I’m short of money?”
“You think the money is not enough?” The second-generation rich guy frowned. “One million, is that enough?”
“Little brother, what should we do? He wants to spend a million to take me to a hotel,” Su Mei said with narrowed eyes. Her demeanor and tone were no different from a vixen.
The second-generation rich guy was getting impatient. He wrote out a check, tossed it to Li Se, and said quickly, “Here’s one million. Take it and get lost. I’m taking her into the hotel now.”
“Fine, then take her to a hotel,” Li Se said, still not taking the check, but with a nonchalant expression.
“You know what’s good for you!” The second-generation rich guy snorted coldly and then eagerly walked up to Su Mei, wanting to pull her into the hotel. He felt he would never tire of playing with such a vixen.
“You’re so heartless,” Su Mei glanced at Li Se reproachfully, then her beautiful eyes turned cold. “Even though my boyfriend agrees, I don’t like you!”
“What do you mean?” The second-generation rich guy frowned.
Su Mei ignored the second-generation rich guy and took Li Se’s arm instead, “Let’s go.”
Li Se felt the softness on his arm, his mind racing, and he also felt a desire to pull Su Mei into the hotel and book a room, but he suppressed it. He cursed inwardly that this woman was constantly tempting men.
“Are you two playing me?”
The second-generation rich guy was getting angry.
“So what?” Su Mei said dismissively.
“Damn it!” The second-generation rich guy, in a fit of rage, swung his hand fiercely towards Su Mei’s beautiful face. But before he could touch her, Li Se caught his hand.
“If she were willing to go to a hotel with you, I naturally wouldn’t stop you. But if you want to hit a woman in front of me, I naturally won’t agree,” Li Se said. After saying this, he forcefully pushed forward, and the second-generation rich guy fell to the ground, crying out in pain.
“You two just wait, I won’t let this go!” The second-generation rich guy yelled.
However, Li Se and Su Mei paid no attention to the second-generation rich guy and turned to leave.
