Chapter 199
The black pill was only the size of a fingernail, and it had a strange fragrance. Xu Si took it from Xi Ning’s hand and held it in front of his eyes to examine it carefully. “What kind of medicine is this?”
He didn’t see where Xi Ning took it out from. It didn’t look like a genuine medicine at all, let alone a cure for his leg ailment.
Xi Ning was still looking at him with expectation in his eyes, and Xu Si asked, “Where did you get this from?”
Xu Si didn’t look surprised, and it seemed that he only barely accepted it. Xi Ning had calmed down from his excitement, and he knew that it was a bit strange that he suddenly took out an inexplicable medicine like this.
If he told Xu Si the truth, Xu Si would not believe it. He tried his best to think of a slightly more reasonable explanation. “I got this a long time ago. Someone sold it to me and he said that after taking this medicine, it can cure all diseases. I always had it with me.”
“But I lost my memory and forgot the purpose of this medicine. I only recalled it two days ago.” Xi Ning got up and pushed the wheelchair to the sofa. “It will definitely heal your leg ailment after you eat this.”
Xu Si switched to the sofa and sat down, holding the medicine in his palm. “It was sold to you? How much?”
“I forgot,” Xi Ning replied, “I only remember it was very expensive.”
Xu Si’s expression softened a little and smiled at Xi Ning. “How long have you kept it?”
He only assumed that Xi Ning was deceived by someone and bought a counterfeit medicine. It was most probably just a health care product and it might have already expired.
Xi Ning saw that Xu Si still refused to eat the medicine, he got a little anxious and urged, “It will be very quick for it to be effective. Quickly take it and try it yourself.”
Xu Si was hesitating, thinking about whether eating it will most likely cause a bad belly or directly death. Xi Ning got closer and licked the pill he held on his fingertips.
There was a faint sweetness on it. Xi Ning frowned while tasting it and said, “Look, it’s not poisonous, faster eat it.”
Xu Si had no choice but to compromise. “Okay, I’ll eat it.”
It wasn’t a big deal anyway. He could just go to the hospital for a gastric lavage. He put it in his mouth, took the warm water poured by Xi Ning and swallowed the medicine down his throat.
Xi Ning said nervously, “How do you feel?”
Xu Si was holding his phone and he opened the screen for calling No.1 so that No.1 could send him to the hospital as soon as he felt something was wrong.
He waited for a few minutes and shook his head. “I didn’t feel anything.”
Not to mention curing his leg ailment, he felt that he probably just ate a jelly bean.
Xi Ning refused to believe it, he bent over and groped his leg. “How about your leg? Try to stand up and take a walk?”
But Xu Sie’s legs could walk normally for a short period of time. If he stood up and couldn’t hold on as long as before, wouldn’t it be even more embarrassing and disappointing.
He pulled Xi Ning up and hugged him while comforting him. “It’s okay, I’m already used to my leg ailment. It can’t be cured.”
Xi Ning felt distressed, he nuzzled against Xu Si’s cheek. “Don’t say that. It can be cured. It must be that the medicine hasn’t taken effect yet. You have to wait a bit longer.”
Xu Si nodded. “Okay.”
Even though he complied with Xi Ning, what he thought was something else. He had completely given up on treating his leg ailment after so long. Only when he found out about the existence of Jian Yue, did he become interested, but he was still not sure whether it would work on himself.
Xi Ning asked the system why it didn’t have any effect on Xu Si after taking the medicine. Is the system fooling him? The system has repeatedly assured him, “It is absolutely a genuine medicine. It may be that Xu Si has had the leg ailment for such a long period, so it will take time to be completely cured. Don’t worry master. If there is no effect the next night, I’ll go and ask the higher level since it costs 100 mission value……”
These were all the mission points that Xi Ning had accumulated after finishing the missions in three worlds. The system actually wanted to persuade Xi Ning to not buy it. If he and Xu Si were together, there was no need to cure his leg ailment to complete the mission. After this world was over, Xu Si would follow him to the next world, then he would be a healthy person again.
However, there were indeed not many things that could be exchanged in the mall……
Xi Ning felt relieved after he got the assurance from the system and waited intently.
The next day, he followed Xu Si to the company as usual and saw a piece of recent news on Xu Si’s desk.
It was said that someone was attacked by an unknown creature nearby. Some people that were nearby heard the cry for help and rushed over. The unknown creature ran away when it saw that there were many people. Many people said that the thing looked like the legendary werewolf.
