220: Chapter 216: Malignant Ulcer 220: Chapter 216: Malignant Ulcer Hearing Buck Teeth Zhu’s command, Miaomiao, the woman in black veil, hesitated briefly before she took off her hat and slowly removed the black veil from her face.
“Holy shit…” Chen Hai, despite feeling mentally prepared, couldn’t help but step back several paces in shock.
In terms of facial features, Miaomiao’s face was actually quite nice.
But at this moment, her face was covered with dozens of pustules.
These pustules, small as mung beans, large comparable to grapes.
So many pustules, practically covering every inch of Miaomiao’s face.
Some of the pustules had already burst open, leaking a mixture of red and white pus continuously oozing out.
This pus seemed somewhat corrosive.
Miaomiao’s face was pockmarked and pitted due to the corrosion, in some areas revealing the raw, bright red flesh beneath.
This issue was not just confined to her face.
After removing the veil, Miaomiao took off her coat and lifted the hem of her long skirt to her thighs.
On any skin exposed, the same scenario prevailed – covered with malignant sores and filled with pustules.
However, these areas weren’t as conspicuous as her face.
Seeing her condition, Chen Hai finally understood why she wrapped herself up so tightly!
Frankly speaking, her condition was disgustingly severe.
If she walked down the street without any covering, countless people would probably squat by the roadside and vomit incessantly after seeing her.
Originally, when Ye Qingqing was afflicted with the yin snake gu, her body also swelled with lumps.
However, Qingqing’s condition only evoked pity, not revulsion.
Hou Donggui had directed Buck Teeth Zhu to bring his girlfriend here to Chen Hai.
Perhaps, he felt Chen Hai, who had previously solved Qingqing’s issue, might also have a way to manage Miaomiao’s condition.
“This Buck Teeth Zhu, I had no idea he, although a gangster, also possesses loyalty and love.”
“His girlfriend Miaomiao has become in such a condition, yet he didn’t reject her; instead, he took her around seeking medical help?”
“How he usually conducts himself, set that aside.”
“Judging merely by his attitude towards his own girlfriend, he does have some praiseworthy qualities!”
Stepping back about four or five steps from Miaomiao, Chen Hai had a complex expression as he glanced at Buck Teeth Zhu in front of him and thought to himself.
Some, gifted and knowledgeable, devote themselves tirelessly for the strength and prosperity of the nation, only resting upon death.
Yet, when their own parents fall sick, they blatantly ignore them, not even sparing a moment to visit.
Others might be extremely vicious, killing ruthlessly without a second thought for others’ lives, yet in front of their own parents, they are submissive and exceedingly filial.
Everyone has their merits.
What is good?
What is evil?
The perception could completely change from a different perspective.
In Chen Hai’s view, Buck Teeth Zhu’s unwavering support for his girlfriend was commendable.
Turning his gaze away from Buck Teeth Zhu, he observed Miaomiao from a few steps away for quite some time.
The condition on Miaomiao’s body was not caused by impure qi.
Based on Chen Hai’s inference, the sores and pus-filled wounds on her body were likely caused by the infiltration of demon qi, which had been steadily eroding her body.
The Danghui Talisman targeted specifically gases and impurities, so Chen Hai knew without a doubt that they stood very little chance of overcoming the demon qi with that talisman.
“Brother Zhu, how long has your girlfriend been having this issue?” Chen Hai furrowed his brow and after a brief silence, he asked.
“It only started a couple of days ago.
Initially, Miaomiao only had a few sores near her lower abdomen.”
“That same day, she went to the hospital, got a couple of injections, and took some medicine.”
“But the spread of the sores was alarmingly fast.
By the next day when Miaomiao woke up, her body was already covered with them…” Buck Teeth Zhu explained, sighing deeply.
“It has only appeared for a couple of days?
And it’s already like this…” Chen Hai was startled and his brow furrowed even more tightly.
“Yes!” Buck Teeth Zhu nodded and added, “Miaomiao and I only met about ten days ago.”
“We only really started living together a bit more than a week ago; you could say it was love at first sight!”
“I have seen and experienced this type of sores breaking out suddenly on her body before.”
“From the onset of the sores, if there isn’t a resolution, she could probably hold on for at most seven days.”
“Young Master Chen, Master Chen, if you have a way to solve her condition, please, you must help her.”
“It doesn’t matter what you ask for in return, as long as I can afford it, it won’t be a problem.”
…
Looking tense, Buck Teeth Zhu made his promise seriously.
However, Chen Hai detected something unusual in his words.
“Brother Zhu, are you saying that you’ve seen similar sores before?” Chen Hai asked pointedly, giving Buck Teeth Zhu a meaningful look.
There was something crucial in Buck Teeth Zhu’s previous statement.
Hearing Chen Hai’s question, Buck Teeth Zhu glanced at his girlfriend Miaomiao; he seemed hesitant, as if considering something.
“Miaomiao, why don’t you rest here in the living room for a bit, while I and Young Master Chen go to the room to talk about something!” After a moment’s hesitation, he instructed his girlfriend.
“Okay, Brother Zhu!” Miaomiao replied, her voice laden with deep fatigue, and she nodded.
Suddenly thrust into this situation, if it wasn’t for Buck Teeth Zhu blocking her path and dragging her to seek medical help, her heart would have long harbored thoughts of dying.
On the other side, Buck Teeth Zhu pulled Chen Hai into the luxurious suite’s bedroom and casually shut the door behind them.
“Young Master Chen, without mincing words, my ex-girlfriend, my former girlfriend, and the girlfriend before that left me because of this same issue!”
“I myself can’t figure out why, but every woman I get involved with ends up covered in these sores after not very long.”
“Most of my ex-girlfriends couldn’t stand the torment of the sores and ended up taking their own lives.
The one who held on the longest lasted only seven days.”
“Though it’s said that women are like clothes, buying new clothes only for them to tear as soon as you wear them is still extremely annoying and makes me wish I were dead!”
“I haven’t seriously dated anyone for over a year now.”
“I had thought, after such a long time and seeing no unusual signs on my own body, that the sores were just coincidences and had nothing much to do with me.”
“Meeting Miaomiao, I genuinely liked her.
Who would have thought that just a few days into living together, the sores would appear again?”
“Young Master Chen, I, Buck Teeth Zhu, have never knelt before anyone besides heaven, earth, and my parents in my life!”
“Now, I kneel before you.
If you have a way, you must help Miaomiao!”
His face grim, Buck Teeth Zhu, while speaking, actually knelt down before Chen Hai.
