Open a Clinic to Cultivate Myself Chapter 182 The Story of the Three Snakes

About three kilometers from the First Building, Ning Tao pulled up. The forest was thickly wooded on both sides, and there were no houses. It was a very remote place.

“Brother Ning, why did you stop?” Qing Zhui asked.

Ning Tao replied, “I'm going to leave a convenient door on the Yinyue Mountain. We'll go back through the convenient door.”

“Oh?” Qing Zhui was suddenly nervous.

“This place is remote, and I guess I'll have to come back later, so I'll draw a blood lock here in case I need it. Be good, and get out.”

Qing Zhui released Ning Tao's waist and got out of the electric car.

Ning Tao picked up the electric car and headed for the mountains.

Qing Zhui followed his footsteps and suggested, “Brother Ning, let me carry it.”

“How can I let a girl do something like this? I'll carry it,” Ning Tao said.

Qing Zhui was not that obedient this time. She got under the God's Will, smiled and said, “No matter what type of car it is or what it is, I'll always be with you.”

This sounded good, and Ning Tao smiled without retorting and carried the electric car with her to the mountains. The God's Will weighed nearly 300 kilograms, but it was nothing on the shoulders of this cultivating doctor and the snake demon.

After a few hundred meters in the mountains, Ning Tao found a cliff where he could not get wet in the rain. Then he bit his finger and drew a pattern of blood lock.

But just as Ning Tao was about to unlock the blood lock with the clinic key, Qing Zhui pulled his arm and nervously said, “Brother Ning, I… I'm still afraid. I'll go back by myself.”

“You'll have to get used to it. Don't be afraid,” Ning Tao uttered. “You're the nurse in the clinic, one of us. No matter how bad it is to you, it won't do you anything.”

Qing Zhui loosened Ning Tao's hand. Ning Tao stuck the key in the blood lock and opened the convenient door. The next second, he stepped into the door, and Qing Zhui followed.

As soon as Qing Zhui entered the Sky Clinic, the face on the good-evil tripod showed an angry face. The sound of wind and thunder came from the tripod faintly, which sounded like a punishment from heaven!

This surprised Ning Tao, too.

“Brother Ning, I, I'll wait for you outside!” Qing Zhui didn't dare to stay any longer, so she rushed to the door. She held out her hand to open the door, but it did not move. For a moment, she seemed to be under unimaginable pressure, ready to collapse, looking very painful.

Ning Tao hurriedly opened the door so that Qing Zhui could go out.

As soon as she got out of the clinic, Qing Zhui seemed to be relieved of the burden on her shoulders and gasped for breath.

Ning Tao came to her and asked solicitously, “Are you better?”

Qing Zhui looked so pathetic. “I'm better. Brother Ning, don't let me into the clinic again, okay?”

Ning Tao nodded, feeling a little guilty. He did not expect that the good-evil tripod had such a big reaction when Qing Zhui returned to the clinic through the convenient door this time. But it was not hard to guess the reason. She repeatedly killed patients of the Sky Clinic, including those condemned by the ledger of bamboo slips and those not. She must have bore lots of sins. Perhaps in the ledger of the Sky Clinic, she had already been a person of unforgivable sin!

This accident also caused Ning Tao's worry. If things went on like this, would Qing Zhui one day become a villain of a place? If there was such a day, how should he, the owner of the Sky Clinic face her?

Maybe because this worry touched his soul, Ning Tao couldn't control his emotion and suddenly opened his arms to hold Qing Zhui in his arms.

Qing Zhui immediately froze. It was the first time Ning Tao had taken the initiative to hug her.

Ning Tao whispered in her ear, “Thank you. You've done so many terrible things for me, which caused you to have taken many sins.”

Without Qing Zhui's help, he couldn't have earned those fees. He remembered her help and kindness to him in his heart.

Qing Zhui, however, gave an inattentive smile and said, “Why do you suddenly say such things to me? I would do anything for you.”

Ning Tao was so touched. “In future, our old rules will have to be changed. I'll execute the damned. You'd better not kill until you have to. Also, if there is an opportunity to do something good, do it. It will relieve your sin.”

Qing Zhui thought for a moment and then said, “It seems strange, but I listen to what you say.”

Ning Tao let go of her. “The next time Bai Sheng or your sister Bai Jing asks you to go to the First Building of the Yinyue Mountain, you have to let me know, okay?”

“There will be no next time. Either my sister or Bai Sheng calls me, I'm not going back,” Qing Zhui stated angrily.

“What happened?” asked Ning Tao, his heart leaping.

When Qing Zhui was about to answer, two young people walked towards them from the corner of the alley, and both of them looked at Qing Zhui with shining eyes.

“We'll talk about it at home.” Ning Tao took Qing Zhui's hand and walked to the rental house.

A young man gave a whistle.

The other said, “She is shy.”

Qing Zhui glared at the guy, but Ning Tao pulled her away.

Inside, Ning Tao loosed Qing Zhui's hand and said, “Let's go sit on the couch and talk.”

Ning Tao sat down on the couch and Qing Zhui sat next to Ning Tao. But before Ning Tao could speak again, she leaned over into Ning Tao's arms and lay on his chest, crying.

“What's the matter with you?” Ning Tao had never been in a situation like this before, and he was at a loss. He didn't know how to comfort her, and he just patted her on the back.

Qing Zhui cried for a long time before she stopped and said in a choked voice, “My sister sent someone to ask me to go back this time. When I got back she asked me about you and the clinic and asked me to control you with sex and make you work for Bai Sheng. Of course I refused. Then she told Bai Sheng and Bai Sheng locked me up. No matter what Bai Sheng does to me, I'm not sad, but she's my sister. How could she do this to me?”

Ning Tao was silent for a moment before he said, “You have little contact with the outside world. Sometimes we had no command over ourselves. We don't want to do some things, but we have to do. Bai Sheng has a tight grip on your sister. She sometimes encountered circumstances beyond her control. I am sure in her heart she did not wish to hurt you.”

“Really?” Qing Zhui looked up at Ning Tao.

Ning Tao reached out and patted the back of her head. “Of course it's true. You're sisters. You can't question your feelings because of me. You should also cherish you and her fate in this life.”

“Okay.” Qing Zhui seemed to open the knot. She slid down into Ning Tao's lap and closed her eyes. The heat of her breath fell on Ning Tao's pants, the lines of which were quietly changing.

Ning Tao felt bad. He said, “Why are you lying on your stomach all of a sudden? Sit still. There's one more thing I want to ask you.”

“What is it?” Qing Zhui sounded lazy. She disobeyed Ning Tao and continued to lie on Ning Tao's lap. Her plump hips and long legs, which made up two-thirds of her body, formed an inviting curve on the couch.

“I saw a silver tree on the First Building. What kind of being is that tree, which has both spiritual energy and demon aura, but no sign of life?” Ning Tao took his eyes off Qing Zhui's legs and imagined the silver tree he saw on the First Building.

“I don't know. I've seen Bai Sheng hang around the tree and suck on the tree's spiritual energy and demon aura. I was young then, and I asked Bai Sheng about it, but he slapped me and warned me not to ask again,” Qing Zhui answered.

Ning Tao reimagined the scene he saw when he suffered the allergic reaction of the incomplete Ancestor-seeking Elixir—a towering silver tree, and a small white snake crouching under the tree in worship.

“How old is Bai Sheng?”

“Hundreds of years old, he was very old when I was very young, but he looks younger and younger now,” Qing Zhui replied.

Ning Tao was confused. “Has he really opened up a new path of cultivation from money to cultivation and and found a way to rejuvenate himself? Also, he received two disciples who are not demon. They have spiritual energy, in line with the characteristics of the beginners to cultivation. How could Bai Sheng, a snake demon, receive two practitioners as disciples? Does it also have something to do with the path from money to cultivation he mentioned?”

Qing Zhui shook her head and answered, “I don't know. All I know is that those two teenagers were Bai Sheng's new disciples. I heard my sister mention it. But this is the first time I've seen them in more than a decade.”

Ning Tao suddenly remembered something and hesitated before saying, “Qing Zhui, how old are you?”

Qing Zhui blinked. “I… Why do you ask?”

“I want to know how old you are.”

Qing Zhui thought for a moment and answered, “A little younger than you, 20 years old.”

“No way, tell me the truth,” urged Ning Tao.

“Oh. I'm 20. Stop probing!” Qing Zhui simply closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, and even snore. she took a deep breath, and then blew out, “Whew…”

However, with his breath, a spring-like stuff almost poked her in the face.

Qing Zhui seemed to find something weird, and got up from Ning Tao's arms, saying excitedly, “Brother Ning, do you… want to?”

Ning Tao took the opportunity to escape and strode to the door, shouting, “I want to go to cultivate. Tomorrow night at eight o'clock, we will meet someone together.”

“To whom?”

“I don't know.”

“How long are you going to cultivate?” The corner of Qing Zhui's mouth turned up. “Will you be home for dinner tonight?”

“No, no.” Ning Tao opened the door, determined, as if he were running for his life.

He looked as though he would die if he stayed here.

It was not that he was not interested in getting intimate with Qing Zhui, but he was just not ready. The preparation was not physical, but psychological.

The Sky Clinic was wreathed in smoke and the seven-star lamp was quietly burning.

Ning Tao never greased the seven-star lamp, but it had been burning and never went out.

Ning Tao sat cross-legged and took deep breaths. When he had calmed down, he began to practice the Cat Claw Punch and the Ladder under Feet. At last, he beat himself with the back of the firewood chopper. When he was almost exhausted, he sat down next to the good-evil tripod and began to practice his spiritual power…
