"Come in. Don't eavesdrop on me!" Serena said with a faint smile. Her words carried a powerful undertone.

"Serena, you... you actually pulled the curtains open?" Elena was the first to notice the abnormality in the room. She knew that ever since Serena got sick, she had never let the sunshine in.

"Yeah, I feel much better." Serena looked at Dante and took a deep breath. It seemed that the original feeling of tightness in her chest and abdomen had been relieved a lot.

"You... are you serious?" E

    After that, Dante left the room without looking back.Serena was stunned. There still seemed to be a burning sensation on her body. At the same time, her heart was racing wildly, and she couldn't help but feel a little flustered. "How dare this guy do that?"After Dante left Kaixuan Manor, he went to the antique market.There he finally found a bronze tripod. This tripod was not large, only about two feet in diameter. It was made with modern technology, but it was very delicate. It was equipped with a cooling system. Although it wasn't an antique, it was enough for Dante to refine some elixirs.In addition, Dante also bought more than twenty Hetian jades, which cost him a total of 268,000 yuan. He paid with Serena's card. However, Dante didn't feel any guilt about it. He had his own plan.After returning to Silverbrook Hall, Dante grabbed a bag of herbal medicine while there were no patients and went back to his room.Dante first took out cinnabar and a wolf-hair brush. He selected ei

    Dante's steel pipe stopped on Da Bi's head. He tapped it twice and said, "I warned you not to come here again..."Before Dante could finish his words, Da Bi was already trembling. Then he rolled his eyes and passed out cleanly."Hmph." Dante snorted and opened the clinic door. He pointed with the steel pipe in his hand, "Take them away. Don't let me see you again."The gangsters got up tremblingly, picked up the three unconscious men, and carefully walked out of Silverbrook Hall in a line, as if treading on thin ice."It's really dramatic!""Wait!" Dante shouted."Well..." The thugs' legs began to cramp again."Who wet his pants just now? Go clean it up. And you need to pay for my losses." Dante crossed his arms over his chest and said with a smile."Yes, yes, I'll do it right away." Several clever ones hurried back into the clinic, took off their shirts, wiped up the urine, and placed all their money in front of Theo.After that, they nervously stood before Dante, hands at their side

    The girl's aura stirred something in Dante. He quickly calmed himself, took out the silver needle, and inserted it into the Guanyuan acupoint on Zara's abdomen. At the same time, he patiently taught her the technique.It was already late at night."Understand?" Dante pulled out the silver needles one by one and asked with a smile."Okay." Zara nodded cutely."Then go to sleep." Dante touched her hair and said softly.But Zara stretched out her hands and grabbed one of Dante's arms. She hugged him tightly and pressed her beautiful little face against his arm. Like a kitten, she closed her eyes with satisfaction and said coyly, "Dante, can you stay until I fall asleep?"For a moment, her arms felt like warm, soft jade.Dante had just suppressed his restlessness, but now it rose again. His body stiffened and he didn't dare to breathe heavily. He thought to himself, Zara, this girl, she doesn't realize I'm a man. Who could resist this temptation?"Dante..." Zara, however, kept her eyes cl

    Zara and Theo, who were standing nearby, couldn't help but come over and look at the man."What's wrong with him? I can't tell." Theo walked around the patient and muttered. He patted the patient's shoulder and asked, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"The patient looked at Theo with a puzzled expression. Obviously, he didn't hear what Theo said."Oh, it turns out he's deaf. Mr. Lawrence, that's nothing special." Theo said disapprovingly.Lawrence smiled and said nothing. He said to Zara, "Zara, you talk to him.""Me?" Zara's face was full of doubt. She didn't know what Mr. Lawrence meant, but she also approached the patient and said, "Excuse me, can you hear what I'm saying?""Ah, I heard that!" The man immediately opened his mouth and responded. This startled Theo."Hey, you fool! Why didn't you answer when I was talking to you?" Theo shouted angrily."What? Were you talking to me?" The patient looked at Theo and asked loudly."Ah... ah..." Theo was furious. This patient was clearly

    "So Dante is a national treasure! It's perfectly justified for the successor of the Four-Colored Needle Technique to have this certificate!" Lawrence looked at Dante with eyes full of passion.Alistair's face changed rapidly, but in the end, it twisted into a kind of viciousness. "If he truly is the descendant, no one would dare to refute it. However, the technique has been lost for thousands of years. Who can verify it? It can't be decided by Mr. Lawrence alone without proof, can it?""Humph, don't worry. You'll see it on the first day of next month. That is the annual meeting of our Chinese Medicine Association. And you'll learn that there is always someone better than you, so that you won't be so arrogant." Lawrence retorted in a very unkind manner.For so many years, the Silverleaf Apothecary had not treated Lawrence, the president of the Chinese Medicine Practitioner Association, very well. That was why he was so displeased."Humph! I'll wait and see! Smith, let's go!" Alistair g

    "Ouch..." The man was beaten and cried out in pain. He was furious. "What the hell is going on?"Theo put down the broom breathlessly. Of course, he knew the person—Mr. Shen, the section chief of the Health Bureau. However, at this point, Theo was desperate. He glared at Mr. Shen, whom he usually treated as an honored guest."Mr. Shen, are you alright? He is very arrogant!" Alistair said in a strange tone.Mr. Shen hurriedly bowed and nodded when he saw Alistair. He said ingratiatingly, "Dr. Alistair, I came here as soon as I received your call. Don't worry, practicing without a certificate is a serious matter. Our Health Bureau will never tolerate it. I would like to thank you for reporting this to us in time, Dr. Alistair."After all, the Silverleaf Apothecary was a century-old establishment. Although it only had one branch in Velloria City, it was not something ordinary people could afford to offend. Alistair and his associates served as doctors to many government officials. As sec
