Chapter 5

"Qin Lang——" Tao Ruoxiang's fleeting good impression of Qin Lang instantly vanished. "Don't go too far! Don't think you can take advantage of me just because you're pretending to treat me!"

"Teacher Tao, Aunt Tao... You... are really wronging me!" Qin Lang said pitifully. "If I really wanted to take advantage, I could have asked to examine your affected area, right?"

"Quibbling! If you were really an upright person, why don't you leave this box of ointment for me to use myself?"

"Aunt Tao, you don't know how expensive and difficult it is to make this box of ointment! Besides, for your small case of fire boil, just a tiny bit of ointment, like an eye drop, would be enough. There's no need for a whole box. I'm worried that if you apply too much or in the wrong place, it would be a waste." Qin Lang argued based on reason. He wasn't exaggerating; to make this box of Hundred Toxins Golden Wound Ointment, he used nearly a hundred types of venom and toxic powders, which were several times more expensive than gold of the same weight.

Moreover, the effectiveness of the Hundred Toxins Golden Wound Ointment was astonishing. Whether it was a venomous bite or a deep wound from a sword, applying the ointment would quickly heal the injury. The ointment, using toxins to counteract toxins, not only suppressed and eliminated the toxins in the wound but also stimulated the physiological functions of the wound, promoting rapid healing and skin restoration.

"Waste? Are you kidding? How much does your dog skin ointment cost per box? I'll buy it!" Tao Ruoxiang said boldly.

"Aunt Tao, don't ask about the price." Qin Lang couldn't bear to disappoint Tao Ruoxiang.

"Tell me!" Tao Ruoxiang thought, "Am I, the young miss, unable to afford a box of ointment?"

"Considering just the cost, this box of ointment is worth at least 200,000 yuan."

"200,000 yuan!" Tao Ruoxiang snorted. "No wonder people say the medical industry is heartless."

"Aunt Tao, you get what you pay for. You'll know if my ointment is worth it once you use it—do you have a medical cotton swab?"

Tao Ruoxiang handed Qin Lang a medical cotton swab, then watched as he lightly dipped the swab into the edge of the box, picking up a tiny amount of ointment, and handed the swab to Tao Ruoxiang: "Be careful, don't waste it by applying it to the wrong place."

Tao Ruoxiang almost fainted with anger, thinking how stingy this guy was, not even willing to apply a little more of the ointment. Such a person was truly the worst.

But Qin Lang had his own thoughts. If Tao Ruoxiang weren't a super beauty, he wouldn't have been willing to use such expensive ointment to treat her small fire boil. Moreover, even for Tao Ruoxiang, Qin Lang recommended the "ecological therapy."

If the old toxic expert knew he was using the Hundred Toxins Golden Wound Ointment to treat a fire boil, he would definitely scold him for being wasteful.

Tao Ruoxiang didn't bother to argue with Qin Lang anymore and took the cotton swab to the bathroom. The ointment was limited, so she had to use a small mirror to find the right spot and carefully apply the tiny amount of ointment to the fire boil.

The burning pain in the affected area quickly disappeared, replaced by a cool, comfortable sensation.

The fire boil rapidly subsided and was completely gone in less than ten minutes, truly a miraculous effect!

What surprised Tao Ruoxiang even more was that the spot where the fire boil had been left no trace at all. Her smooth buttocks were restored to their former state, truly "a hidden trouble, gone with a single application."

"I never expected this ointment to be so effective!"

Tao Ruoxiang sighed, remembering her previous suspicion and disdain for Qin Lang's stinginess, feeling somewhat guilty. Given the ointment's miraculous effects, it must have been difficult to make and quite expensive. Qin Lang's stinginess was understandable.

After confirming her recovery, Tao Ruoxiang tidied up and left the bathroom, only to find that Qin Lang was no longer on the sofa.

"Qin Lang—Qin Lang..."

Tao Ruoxiang called out twice, thinking Qin Lang had already left, but then the doorbell rang.

"Why are you standing outside the door?" Tao Ruoxiang opened the door and saw Qin Lang standing there.

"To avoid you thinking I was peeping." Qin Lang said seriously. In fact, the reason Qin Lang stood outside was that when Tao Ruoxiang went to the bathroom, he had fantasized about her applying the ointment, which aroused a strong urge to peep, almost causing him to nosebleed. To completely eliminate the urge, he locked himself outside.

"When did I ever think you were peeping?" Tao Ruoxiang said, seemingly forgetting that she had indeed suspected Qin Lang. "I thought you had already left."

"Doing good deeds without expecting a return or leaving a name isn't my style." Qin Lang, with his thick skin, was clearly asking for a reward.

Tao Ruoxiang couldn't fail to understand what he meant and asked, "What do you want as a reward?"

"Aunt Tao, you said my mother called you and that you would take me out for a good meal, right?" Qin Lang looked at Tao Ruoxiang with a half-smile.

Tao Ruoxiang felt frustrated. She had intended to trap Qin Lang, but ended up trapping herself. Now that Qin Lang made this request, she couldn't refuse, as it wouldn't be fair to let him do all the work for nothing. Besides, he had made it clear he didn't want to be a living Lei Feng.

With such a thick-skinned person, Tao Ruoxiang had no choice but to say, "Then wait a moment, I'll change my clothes."

"Wait inside or outside—"

"Bang!"

Tao Ruoxiang had already slammed the door shut.
