Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1999: Chapter 1999: Never Say No to a Freebie

Yan Meng, upon hearing Ye Haochuan’s words, broke into a cold sweat and quickly explained, ”No, Great Hero, this lady is the top courtesan I hired from Fenghua, not a proper lady!”

As he finished speaking, he hurriedly signaled to the lady, urging her to step forward and explain.

Yan Meng had every reason to be startled; Ye Haochuan had warned him before that if he continued his antics, he wouldn’t receive the antidote.

Though the lady didn’t know why Yan Meng feared Ye Haochuan so much, she, having been trained in reading people since childhood, knew exactly what to say.

”This... Great Hero, you are indeed mistaken. I was hired by Young Master Meng for entertainment!” She spoke, offering Ye Haochuan a slight bow. But as she looked at Ye Haochuan, there was a subtle hint of appraisal in her eyes.

Ye Haochuan’s attire and cultivation didn’t quite match the title of ”Great Hero.” However, as Yan Meng called him so, the lady had no choice but to follow suit.

Ye Haochuan finally smiled slightly and said to Yan Meng, ”That’s right, isn’t it? If you need someone, you should look for such a professional—gentle and sweet, skillful in every way, right?”

Yan Meng was baffled by Ye Haochuan’s sudden change of demeanor and managed a forced smile.

However, he let out a sigh of relief. At least he hadn’t angered Ye Haochuan and therefore, his antidote wouldn’t be taken away.

Nevertheless, when the lady heard the phrase ”skillful in every way,” her expression changed slightly, and she coquettishly rolled her eyes at Ye Haochuan.

Seeing this, Yan Meng seemed to think of something and pushed the lady towards Ye Haochuan, saying, ”Great Hero, if you like her, she can be yours now. I’ll arrange to buy her freedom for you!”

Oh dear, what do you take me for?

Ye Haochuan inwardly chuckled bitterly.

Meanwhile, he couldn’t help but take another look at the lady.

She was graceful, with a touch of plumpness that was just right, irresistibly alluring.

It seemed she was indeed the celebrated top courtesan of Fenghua Pavilion, as discussed by those on the street earlier. She did appear extraordinary.

Yet, compared to a super beauty like Long Keyue, she still paled somewhat.

Ye Haochuan smiled slightly and said, ”No need, Young Master Meng, you should keep her for yourself. Hopefully, with such a lovely person serving you, you can suppress that abnormal heart of yours!”

Upon hearing this, everyone around looked at Ye Haochuan with amazed expressions.

To call someone abnormal in front of so many people—wasn’t that too hurtful?

Yet, to Yan Meng’s ears, these words sounded like a blessing. At least, it showed that Ye Haochuan was satisfied with his current actions, and there shouldn’t be any issues with the antidote.

Moreover, these past days, after abandoning those rough methods and calmly experiencing things, although it lacked the thrill, there was a subtle harmony that was endlessly captivating.

”By the way, Great Hero, you’re here to stay at the inn, right?” Yan Meng asked ingratiatingly, then ordered the person behind him, ”Quick, pay the room fee for Great Hero. No matter how long he stays, put it on my tab!”

Before the person behind could respond, a miserable voice came: ”What are you saying, Young Master Meng? How dare I accept your money? This Great Hero’s lodging fee is on me!”

Everyone followed the voice and saw the innkeeper still being held by the guard commander, occasionally getting another hit.

The innkeeper’s face was now swollen like a pig’s head, making it hard to look at. Fortunately, the guard commander held back, not intending to kill, so despite the frightening appearance, the injuries weren’t severe.

”There’s no need, Young Master Meng. I’m not here to stay but to check out!” Ye Haochuan smiled, ”Though, I didn’t know the lodging here was so expensive; staying two days costs nine hundred red crystals!”

”Nine hundred red crystals?” Yan Meng frowned slightly.

At this moment, one of his attendants whispered in his ear, ”Young Master, the premium room is only a hundred red crystals a night, the innkeeper is overcharging several times!”

The innkeeper’s face turned pale green upon hearing this, and he quickly knelt, begging for forgiveness, ”Spare me, Young Master Meng, I must’ve been possessed to do such a ridiculous thing. Please forgive me!”

Normally, Yan Meng wouldn’t have cared about such matters, as it wasn’t his money being tricked. But now, he saw a chance to please Ye Haochuan and wouldn’t let it pass.

With a righteous glare, he berated the innkeeper sternly, ”You scoundrel! Operating a shady business and betraying my trust. If left unchecked, who knows how many innocent people would fall victim to your antics!”

”Spare me, Young Master Meng, forgive me!” The innkeeper begged desperately for the last time.

But Yan Meng paid no heed and directly ordered his men, ”Take this man to prison for twenty years so he can reflect on his wrongdoings. Let this inn be transferred to the Great Hero as compensation!”

With righteous determination, Yan Meng gifted the inn to Ye Haochuan. Since it was never his property, he had no qualms about giving it away.

For the innkeeper, it was as if the sky had collapsed, and he instantly lost all hope, collapsing to the ground in despair.

As the son of the County Marquis, Yan Meng’s words were almost like an imperial decree in Mushan County.

He never imagined that trying to scam Ye Haochuan would lead to him losing everything.

A twenty-year imprisonment and total asset confiscation seemed harsh. However, Ye Haochuan didn’t intend to plead for the innkeeper. As a dishonest businessman, one must be ready to face severe punishment.

Surely, those who, like Ye Haochuan, had been wronged by the innkeeper and had no recourse would be cheering with joy.

As for the inn, better to have it than not. Ye Haochuan was short on properties in the Immortal Realm. Though this inn wouldn’t make him rich overnight, it was still an income and served as a starting point for his ventures in the Immortal Realm.

”Well then, thank you, Young Master Meng!” Ye Haochuan smiled and accepted the inn with just a few words.

Yan Meng was pleased to see Ye Haochuan accept his gift.

Ye Haochuan didn’t have much more to say to Yan Meng, apart from urging him to maintain his current behavior. Yan Meng promised to frequently visit and support Ye Haochuan’s business.

After a bit of small talk, Ye Haochuan dismissed Yan Meng.

But soon he realized another awkward situation.

He had taken over the inn yet couldn’t stay to manage it, nor did he have any trusted people here to oversee it, which was rather inconvenient.

”That’s right, that guy!” Ye Haochuan suddenly thought of someone and his face lit up with joy.

He called the Shop Assistant and instructed him to find that person.

The Shop Assistant was initially unsure if Ye Haochuan would fire him for previous issues. Now upon receiving Ye Haochuan’s instructions and realizing that he wasn’t being held accountable, he gladly accepted the task and hurried off joyfully.
