2: Chapter 2: [The Fiancé of the World’s Number One Rogue] 2: Chapter 2: [The Fiancé of the World’s Number One Rogue] “Really?” Chu Qingxue’s eyes flashed brightly.
Uncle Fu nodded, “Miss, it’s true.
Uncle Fu led the way, and Chu Qingxue followed.
Chu Qingxue’s thoughts were far away, her heart entirely tied to her grandfather lying on the sickbed.
Chu Corporation was the most famous company in Jiangnan, involved in a wide range of fields, renowned both domestically and internationally, and this year, the corporation had gradually expanded into the East Ocean and European markets.
However, in the past few days, Chairman Chu Renkuang had suddenly been assassinated, taking a bullet to the heart.
This unexpected event led to chaos within Chu Corporation’s board of directors and caused a significant drop in the stock price, putting Chu Qingxue’s position as president in jeopardy.
Knowing that her grandfather’s collapse was part of a conspiracy, Chu Qingxue had been extremely busy.
In the end, she had no choice but to come to the Qilian Mountains.
Along a muddy path, the two gradually reached the other end of the village.
For some unknown reason, the village was completely deserted; every household’s doors and windows were tightly shut, as if they were avoiding some plague god.
“The villagers said some young master has arrived, so everyone hid.” Seeing Chu Qingxue’s confusion, Uncle Fu explained.
In front of them was a vast expanse, with a towering mountain standing imposingly, making one feel insignificant.
After traversing the rugged mountain path and crossing a perilous suspension bridge, the two finally reached the mountain top.
Surprisingly, it wasn’t as bone-chilling as imagined.
Instead, there was a refreshing warmth permeating the air.
The mist was like a veil, and white clouds rose, making it feel as if they were in a fairyland.
A strong medicinal aroma wafted through the air.
It wasn’t overwhelming; instead, it had a refreshing effect.
A rustic farmhouse gradually came into view.
Its dilapidated wooden door was wide open, but the two lines of words on the plaques on either side of the door drew Chu Qingxue and Uncle Fu’s attention.
Chu Qingxue couldn’t help but murmur, “What does the realm seek the path of longevity, the infinite snow universe seeks the tomb of the healer?
The tomb of the longevity doctor!”
As she stepped into the courtyard, Chu Qingxue instinctively exclaimed, her eyes filled with fear.
The modest courtyard was filled with various items, medicine cauldrons, pill furnaces, and colorful medicinal herbs.
The most notable part was the corner filled with various snakes, scorpions, spiders, and other poisonous creatures freely roaming around.
Even the nearby flowers were exceptionally vivid, resembling man-eating plants described in books.
Seemingly sensing intruders, several poisonous snakes flicked their tongues and slithered toward Chu Qingxue and Uncle Fu.
Chu Qingxue’s face turned ashen, and cold sweat dripped down her forehead.
“Ah ha, we have guests?”
A familiar voice reached Chu Qingxue’s ears.
The snakes were instantly startled, fleeing like the wind as if they had encountered a natural enemy!
Then, someone appeared.
It was Ye Chenfeng, who had just been bathing in the river.
Their voices overlapped in perfect sync.
“That’s right, it’s me!”
Uncle Fu was bewildered.
Ye Chenfeng and Chu Qingxue’s synchrony was uncanny.
Three consecutive sentences spoken in unison.
“Alright, you go first!”
“Miss, do you know him?” Uncle Fu broke the silence first.
“I don’t know him!” To Uncle Fu’s surprise, Chu Qingxue turned her head, pretending not to recognize Ye Chenfeng.
Ye Chenfeng looked at Chu Qingxue, “Beauty, if you don’t know me, then why are you at my place?”
This is your house?” Chu Qingxue exclaimed.
Ye Chenfeng nodded, “Indeed, the owner of the tomb of the longevity doctor is me!”
Chu Qingxue furrowed her brows and covered her mouth, “You are Ye Chenfeng?”
“I know I’m very handsome, but girl, no need to be so amazed.
Be reserved!” Ye Chenfeng smiled.
“Shameless!” Chu Qingxue cursed.
Before coming here, she had imagined many possibilities but never thought her fiancé would be Ye Chenfeng, the most obnoxious rascal in the world and the first person to make her lose her temper!
Marrying this guy was worse than dying!
“Uncle Fu, let’s go back!”
Chu Qingxue glared at Ye Chenfeng and turned to leave.
Uncle Fu stopped her, “Miss, we can’t.
Mister’s illness can’t wait!”
Chu Qingxue turned and pointed at Ye Chenfeng, “Uncle Fu, you believe he can heal?
If he has medical skills, pigs can climb trees!”
“Little Flower!” Suddenly, Ye Chenfeng shouted.
An adorable piglet ran from the backyard and quickly climbed an old locust tree…
Chu Qingxue and Uncle Fu were astonished, eyes wide, as they witnessed this unbelievable scene.
“This deserves applause!” Ye Chenfeng grew even prouder, “Don’t you know Brother Ye specializes in dealing with skeptics?
With Brother Ye, anything is possible!”
Ye Chenfeng’s gaze fell on Chu Qingxue, “Now do you believe Brother Ye has medical skills?”
“Divine Doctor Ye, please come down to treat my master.
Besides, you are the future son-in-law of the Chu Family.” Uncle Fu bowed immediately in a plea.
“Oh, so you are Chu Qingxue?
I thought you looked like my future wife, turns out you are!” Ye Chenfeng stroked his chin, eyeing Chu Qingxue with admiration.
“Pervert, only a ghost would be your wife!” Chu Qingxue retorted, exuding an icy aura.
“Xue’xue, you are annoyingly beautiful!”
Chu Qingxue changed her tone, “Do you really have medical skills?”
“I can bring the dead back to life!” Ye Chenfeng declared confidently.
A hint of disdain flashed in Chu Qingxue’s eyes.
She didn’t believe in Ye Chenfeng at all.
So young as the master of the tomb of the longevity doctor?
All the renowned doctors were over fifty, with grey hair.
Ancient divine doctors like Hua Tuo and Bian Que proved this point.
A young Western medical expert would be doubted, let alone a practitioner of Chinese medicine, which relies heavily on experience and knowledge.
Besides, as a high-ranking executive, she’d met many people.
Ye Chenfeng didn’t appear to be someone with great talents.
But since she was here, leaving now would be a waste of effort.
A last resort, treating a dead horse as if it were alive.
“Fine, come with me down the mountain.
If you cure my grandfather, I’ll give you a large sum of money!” Chu Qingxue said.
“No no no, I don’t need money!” Ye Chenfeng shook his head.
“Then what do you want?” Chu Qingxue’s gaze turned icy.
Ye Chenfeng chuckled, “Just having you as my lovely wife is enough!”
“No way, pick something else, and I’ll satisfy it!” Chu Qingxue refused directly.
Ye Chenfeng waved his hand, “I save your grandfather, you become my wife, no other conditions!”
“Miss…” Uncle Fu was anxious, urging her to agree quickly.
From his perspective, Ye Chenfeng wasn’t bad at all.
Screw it, she had to gamble!
After some internal struggle, Chu Qingxue said, “Fine, I agree.
If you cure my grandfather, I will marry you!”
Let’s pinky swear for a hundred years, no changes!” Ye Chenfeng looked at Chu Qingxue as if she were already his.
“The young master is finally leaving, and may he never return!”
“Light the firecrackers, Gousheng!
“Erhu, beat the gong!”
“Shadan, play the drum!
“Tieniu, notify everyone to slaughter pigs and sheep.
Tonight, the village is celebrating the New Year!”
As Ye Chenfeng and the others were leaving, the village suddenly became lively, with drums beating, firecrackers exploding, and even some households directly slaughtering pigs and cows, just like a New Year celebration!
Ye Chenfeng looked embarrassed but pretended to be casual, “Xue’xue, did you see Brother Ye’s popularity?
As the Village Chief, I feel a lot of pressure!”
“They are clearly sending off a plague god!” Chu Qingxue exposed without mercy.
Actually, Chu Qingxue and Uncle Fu were puzzled.
What had Ye Chenfeng done to make the entire village celebrate his departure?
“Sending off the plague god!”
At the village entrance, the village chief shouted, followed by a thunderous echo from the villagers.
Ye Chenfeng: “Damn, I’ll be back!”
The villagers: “Please, no.
If you come back, we’ll die right here…”
