The Beautiful Boss's Personal Bodyguard-Chapter 78 -
78: Chapter 78
78 -78
“I’ve studied and inquired about the Hua Tuo’s Tomb you mentioned with some seniors before, but surprisingly, not a single person dared to confirm its existence.
I can’t believe it, I mean, Hua Tuo was a celebrity after all, even though he was killed by Cao Cao, he was still the Imperial Doctor.
By modern standards, he’s like a national medical expert, there has to be something left of him.
So I searched, and I ended up here, even running into a Tomb Guardian.”
“Tomb Guardian?”
“Yes.
Sit down, right here.
It was right on this spot back then, look, even grass can grow from the Five-colored Soil, it’s been quite some time.”
The place where Ye Tian sat down was a mound, which was not conspicuous amidst the mountains and fields, perhaps only someone as acute as Pig Hu could touch, smell, and see it and recognize what it was.
“That Tomb Guardian probably never imagined to the end that the tomb he and his ancestors had been guarding was a fake one.
Well, in the end, he ended up lying in the tomb he guarded.”
Shit!
So they actually killed the guy!
“Alright, I’ve said everything I have to say, your turn now.”
Ye Tian was startled, but then he spoke, “I found out I can’t die.
Not even bombs can kill me.”
Pig Hu listened to Ye Tian’s words intently despite being shocked.
“…Then I was enveloped in a strange glow, the light was coming from my wrist, right here.
I’ve embedded that little bell into my flesh, so I think this little thing is causing the trouble.”
“Is that all?”
“That’s all.”
Pig Hu smacked his lips, “Looks like the legend is true then.
There are good things hidden in Hua Tuo’s Tomb, supposedly all with some kind of magical powers.
I don’t understand it, but I can’t deny it either, the things buried underground here definitely have an evil aura to them.
As I told you, it’s an Evil Tomb, I’ve lost two brothers to it, so I’m not going near Hua Tuo’s Tomb again.
From what you’ve just told me, it sounds like the real tomb has already been plundered, those guys must be pretty capable.”
Ye Tian was anxious, his words were like he hadn’t said anything.
“Then tell me, what do you know?
About this thing.” Ye Tian gestured to his right wrist.
Pig Hu smiled, “You really want to hear?”
Ye Tian nodded.
“Hmm.
Hua Tuo had a book called ‘Pharmacopoeia’, which is a name added by later generations; I don’t know the real name.
It says in the book that there are nine great treasures in the world that can be used for personal cultivation and body refining.
I remember one of them looked like the little bell you described, called the Nine Emperor Bell, the foremost among the nine great treasures, and there’s also a sword used by Bai Qi, a general from the Qin Dynasty.
Legend has it that if someone possesses one or several of these items, they could extend their life, and if they cultivate properly, they could even achieve immortality…”
“Cut it out, are you sure this is true?”
“I’m sure of shit!
Haven’t I told you, even the name of that book was given by later generations, how would I know if it’s real!” Pig Hu said disdainfully.
“So what should I do?”
“What to do?
Nothing to do.
How many people wish for immortality?
And you’re complaining about living too long?
Cars can’t kill you, knives can’t kill you, bombs can’t kill you, how great is that!
If you’re not happy, just give me the Nine Emperor Bell.”
“Old Hu, do you think this thing is for just anyone to wear?”
“What’s up?”
“Do you know what happened after I was blown out of the Xintiandi building by a bomb last time?”
Looking at Ye Tian’s mysterious tone, Pig Hu leaned in closer, “What happened?”
“Have you ever donated blood?”
Pig Hu was stunned for a moment, then grinned widely and blurted out, “Donating blood?
You mean the kind where a white ambulance is parked in the square and they’re calling out for donors?
Bullshit!
I, Hu Xiaoye, am someone who wouldn’t miss a chance to benefit, let alone think about donating blood.
I’m not that stupid!
I’m telling you, when there’s a chance to take advantage, don’t hold back, but when it’s about losing out, avoid it as far as possible…
Oh, go on, do tell.”
Ye Tian rolled his eyes and continued, “After I woke up, I was feeling weak all over.
Luckily, I was strong enough, and soon I recovered.
But later, when Jingwei was hospitalized last time and I tried to donate blood for him, the nurse wouldn’t dare to draw my blood.
Do you know why?
Damn it, my platelet count is twenty percent less than normal!”
“…What the hell are platelets?”
“It’s like…
having less blood.
I’ve always been in good health, donating blood for free twice a month.
When leaving, the nurse even instructed me to drink more red sugar water to replenish my blood.
Anyway, what I mean is that this thing in my wrist is like a blood-sucking leech, living off my blood.
You get it?”
“Holy shit!
No way!”
Ye Tian sat on the ground, looking distressed, while Pig Hu kept blabbering, patting his chest, “This Evil Tomb, the stuff inside it isn’t easy to grab.
Lucky I didn’t mess with Hua Tuo’s Tomb.”
“I didn’t mess with it, but I got tangled up with it.”
Pig Hu pouted, “Not just this thing has tangled you up.
I’d advise you to sort out your harem first; a backyard fire is the last thing a man needs.”
Ye Tian slapped his forehead, “Dammit, how could I have forgotten about that.”
“Old Hu, let’s go, let’s head back quickly!”
All in all, Ye Tian had been absent from Nightlife Bar for about a month.
Zhu Youzhi didn’t say anything, neither did Gou Xuan.
But he knew it was inappropriate, so he planned to diligently return to work, at least to make things seem right.
However, there were still some issues to handle with Tang Su, so he had no choice but to go.
As for the bar, Ye Tian didn’t notify Zhu Youzhi but directly entrusted Wang Qiang with it, temporarily assigning him all the responsibilities of the security manager.
“Brother Tian, when will you be back?”
“Hard to say.
It might be three days, it might be ten days or half a month.
Anyway, I’ll rely on you for the bar matters during this time.”
“Brother Tian, you’re too polite.”
Watching Wang Qiang bowing in front of him, Ye Tian wore a nostalgic smile; there was a time when this guy had betrayed him secretly.
Even as Ye Tian left, Wang Qiang was still bending over, understanding in his heart that he might never truly enter Ye Tian’s world.
But for someone he admired, just sincerely worshiping once was good enough.
Pig Hu, true to his mischief, slinked off to find Shen Jingwei under the elm tree.
He not only had to undergo Old Mr.
Liu’s moral martial education but also Shen Jingwei’s martial arts training.
He had no one to blame, since he was so keen on imparting all his skills to Shen Jingwei.
