Chapter 108: Such Fine Qualities

Lin Fan lowered his head, scuffing his toes against the cement, leaving a trail of marks on the ground.

Old Zhang caught an ant that had crawled away and brought it back, repeating the process endlessly. The ant never strayed far from its starting point.

The demonic rooster was suffocating under the oppressive aura of the Demon God Granny.

It couldn't even hold its head up, only shrinking its neck and pretending to be oblivious.

It kind of wanted to cry.

Were these two stupid humans actually retarded?

Running away was the only option. Staying here would definitely end badly. Although it didn't know who this granny-looking person really was, from a demonic perspective, she was incredibly dangerous, not as simple as she appeared.

Looking at the two fools, they seemed completely unaware of anything amiss.

The wealthy residents of the villa district came out for their leisurely strolls, and upon seeing this strange group, steered clear. With their status and wealth, getting involved with ordinary people was a terrifying prospect.

Those others were just lowly lives, while they were worth a fortune. They weren't even worthy opponents.

Someone went to the security office to report the situation.

Security Guard: "They're Young Master Xiaobao's friends."

A simple sentence, yet it revealed a shocking secret.

A rich man pretended to pass by, deliberately waving to Lin Fan and the others. Friendships often start with a simple nod.

Lin Fan looked at the rich man, a smile on his face.

"I didn't expect Young Master Xiaobao's friends to be so amiable," the rich man thought, pleased.

He just didn't know that the person he'd just greeted was mentally ill.

Grumble, grumble!

Old Zhang, playing with the ants, looked up. "Lin Fan, I'm hungry."

Lin Fan replied, "Wait a little longer, Xiaobao will be back soon."

"Oh." Old Zhang continued to play with the ants, finding them quite amusing. They'd crawl away, and he'd put them back, and they'd crawl away again, tirelessly, diligently.

Time passed quickly.

The sky gradually darkened.

The Demon God Granny felt something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. It was just strange.

"Young man, it's getting dark. I need to go home," the granny said.

She didn't want to waste any more time with these two humans. She was disappointed and dissatisfied with the game; it should be destroyed, it shouldn't exist in this world.

Her game was a day trip.

After this day, she would go back to sleep, slumbering to maintain her beauty. That's why her skin was so fair and smooth. A woman had to know how to take care of herself.

Lin Fan smiled. "Don't worry, Granny. My friend's house is very big, and the bed is very comfortable. You'll definitely like it."

The Demon God Granny stared at Lin Fan with her cloudy eyes, slightly stunned. Are we even talking about the same thing? This feels like talking to a brick wall.

She also suspected he was hitting on her.

The Demon God Granny didn't want to stay with them any longer. They were definitely crazy. If they weren't, who would stand here motionless for so long?

The sky grew darker.

Time for the children to go home and play games.

"Young man, is your family wealthy?" she asked with a smile.

Lin Fan shook his head. "I'm very poor."

The Demon God Granny said, "Let me tell you a story. There was once a young man, born poor, but with a happy and loving family, a wife and a son. He was very kind. One day, on his way to work, he saw an old person faint on the road. Being kind, he rushed over to help the old person, but the people around him told him not to get involved, or he would get into trouble."

"He didn't listen. He carried the old person to the hospital. Instead of being praised, he was targeted by the family, and even the old person insisted that he was the one who pushed him down. He faced hefty compensation and social condemnation."

"Guess what happened to him in the end?"

Her voice gradually lowered, clearly trying to match the atmosphere.

Lin Fan said, "He paid the money?"

The Demon God Granny whispered, "No. He fell from the top floor of the hospital. When he landed, bang, flesh and blood flew everywhere, blood splattering far and wide. A blood-written letter slowly fluttered down. On it were three words..."

"I'm wronged."

"He died with his eyes wide open, staring coldly at the world."

"So..."

Before she could finish, it was as if all her strength had been drained. She slowly slid off Lin Fan's back and lay quietly on the ground.

Lin Fan and Old Zhang scratched their heads, looking puzzled.

"What happened to her?" Old Zhang asked.

Lin Fan said, "Maybe she's too sleepy, so she fell asleep. I'll just carry her on my back again."

The demonic rooster stared at them, dumbfounded.

What a complicated situation.

It couldn't understand anymore.

The Demon God Granny's meaning was clear. By telling this story, she hoped they would understand: don't help strangers, it could be fatal. But she underestimated Lin Fan.

She also underestimated the new generation of young people who watched the news every night on TV.

Having no other choice, she pretended to vomit blood, a trickle of red appearing at the corner of her mouth.

Sleep? Do I look like I'm sleeping? I'll cough up some blood and scare the pants off you.

"She's vomiting blood," Lin Fan pointed at the Demon God Granny.

"She's injured! We can't let anything happen to her. She's helped us so much, been so good to us. I must save her with my acupuncture needles." Old Zhang pulled out his treasures from his pocket, squatted down, and prepared to apply the needles.

Lin Fan grabbed Old Zhang's wrist, his expression serious. "Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Alright, do it."

The Demon God Granny, feigning unconsciousness, didn't understand what they were doing. Of course, she didn't take it seriously. If you stab me to death, that would be the best outcome. But do you think you can actually kill me? You insignificant humans.

The first needle went in!

She didn't feel anything.

The demonic rooster tensed up, its feathers nearly falling out. Stupid humans, what are you doing? Do you know how dangerous this is?

If only...

If only it hadn't passed by that place, hadn't taken those small steps to that room.

If only it hadn't met these two humans.

Unfortunately!

There were no ifs.

The Demon God Granny continued to feign vomiting blood. You want to save me? I'll vomit blood for you and scare you away.

"How could this be?"

Old Zhang inserted needle after needle. Logically, things should be improving, but why did she vomit blood with each needle?

As she vomited more frequently, Old Zhang's needling speed increased.

His thinking was simple: if he inserted the needles fast enough, the blood wouldn't be able to keep up.

The thirteenth needle!

Inserted!

Night fell, and the surroundings were quiet.

Lin Fan and Old Zhang looked at each other.

Their eyes were filled with confusion.

"Did I fail?" Old Zhang asked, his head drooping, his voice filled with dejection.

"Maybe not," Lin Fan comforted him softly.

Old Zhang hung his head. "What should we do now?"

Lin Fan pondered for a moment. "Let's go to the hospital."

Old Zhang said, "I think that's a good idea."

Then, Lin Fan carried the Demon God Granny, led the pet rooster, and walked towards the hospital with Old Zhang.

There was a hospital near the villa district, but in Lin Fan's eyes, it wasn't the right one. The right one was Huatian Hospital. Only there could they truly help her.

The Demon God Granny fainted.

This time, she really fainted.

The first twelve needles hadn't been a problem.

But when the thirteenth needle went in, she felt a reaction in her body, a reaction even a Demon God couldn't resist. It was truly terrifying.

Her consciousness gradually faded.

She fell into a deep sleep.

In the darkness, a shadow watched the scene unfold.

"Such fine qualities."
