Chapter 927: “HI, MAN”

“Happy, this is my boyfriend, Qiu Ming.”
In the rehabilitation room, while following the rehabilitation doctor’s instructions to perform various exercises to improve her physical functions, Happy listened as Nurse Xiao Yi explained, “He saw a post online saying you had woken up, so he rushed over right away to see you.”
“Yeah, you’re really amazing! On your first day awake, you took down a master at the Liberation Realm with just two moves—that’s incredible!! I want to become your disciple.”
Qiu Ming stood behind Xiao Yi, appearing quite introverted. He only dared to make eye contact with Happy for a second or two while speaking, looking very shy.
Happy was speechless. “Is that kind of person considered a master?”
“…Being able to steal scriptures right under Master Xuan Kong’s nose and almost succeeding is already quite impressive.” It wasn’t Qiu Ming or Nurse Xiao Yi who spoke, but the female doctor who had been carefully treating Happy all along…
“…Ahem, ahem.”
Happy was quite shocked. “Dr. Li, do you play ‘Jianghu’ too?”
“Mm, I’m a alchemist there, and my rank is quite high.” Dr. Li was in her twenties, looking very young and dedicated to her work. But from the moment she said that, Happy started thinking about changing doctors…
“…”
“You can craft the ‘Life and Death Dream Pill’?”
“No problem.”
Dr. Li stretched out her hand and stared at Happy. “As long as you have the money.”
“…” Nurse Xiao Yi and Qiu Ming were instantly speechless. “Modern doctors really have great business sense—treating people in reality while selling pills in games.”
“Is the ‘Life and Death Dream Pill’ cheap now?”
“It’s much cheaper than before. There are now some substances with effects similar to the pill, like the ‘Rejuvenation Pill’, which shortens the recovery time from internal injuries—using one pill reduces the recovery period from a month to half a month… There are also some special medical clinics that, with one treatment, can reduce the effects of internal injuries by a week and restore some physical condition. The fee is two million taels of silver. Although it’s not as effective as the ‘Life and Death Dream Pill’, the price has been brought down. Now, one pill only costs ten million taels of silver, with prices rising during times of high demand.”
“Indeed, it’s cheap.”
Happy frowned. In the past, the “Life and Death Dream Pill” was controlled by various factions, making it hard to find in the market…
In another world, even a powerful gang like Yipin Tang couldn’t supply it to many people, only to their core disciples. Often, a single pill cost over fifty million, or even more!

Ten million, which is about 100,000 RMB.
“Give me one,” said Kai Xin without hesitation.
Dr. Li was instantly stunned. “You just returned to the scene—what do you need this for? To eat as candy?”
“I accidentally got hit once today. Do you have it or not?”
As soon as Kai Xin said this, not only did Dr. Li look at him as if he were a monster, but Qiu Ming and Nurse Xiao Yi also rushed over anxiously. “You encountered your enemy so quickly?” “That can’t be right! You left the small temple not long ago—how could you be dead?” “Stop meddling. Do you have it or not?” Kai Xin asked.
Dr. Li, seemingly very curious, rolled her eyes and said, “Tell me how you died, and I’ll give it to you at 20% off—on the condition that you don’t lie to me.”
“It happened before I went to the small temple.” This time, Kai Xin didn’t refuse; saving 20,000 yuan wasn’t bad either. “If you don’t believe me, check my current condition yourself.”
“…”
Once those words were spoken, the rehabilitation room fell completely silent. The three of them stared at Kai Xin as if he were a monster! “Losing 10% of his strength and still being able to kill a master at the Liberation Realm so easily…” “I said those people can’t be called masters.” “Then who qualifies as a master?” “An Emperor.” “…” The three immediately fell silent.
“Master, please take me in,” Qiu Ming said, staring at Kai Xin with utmost admiration. “Yeah, take me in too,” Nurse Xiao Yi added eagerly, her eyes shining. “I’ll be very obedient. Once I’ve mastered the skills, I’ll help you kill people!”
Sweat pouring down his forehead, Kai Xin suddenly felt extremely relieved. Thankfully, Dr. Li specialized in alchemy; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to complete today’s hour of rehabilitation treatment… His time was extremely precious.
“A 20% discounted Life and Death Dream Pill.”
“I know.”
“I know it’s not easy to become a disciple. But to become a master like you, I won’t give up,” Qiu Ming blurted out.
Kai Xin rolled his eyes and ignored him. His gaze shifted to see Xu Yao standing at the door with a bag in her hand, holding a phone that was still on the line. “It’s Bloodclothes’s call. He knows you’ve awakened.” Sensing Kai Xin’s gaze, Xu Yao took a deep breath and replied.
The conversations in the rehabilitation room vanished instantly. Dr. Li and the others looked at Kai Xin with concern… Bloodclothes! The leader of the Blood Alliance! A master at the Non-Action Realm, one of the leaders of the major forces in the Central Plains. The only one who didn’t show any shock was Kai Xin…

“Oh.”
She replied faintly, her gaze falling on Xu Yao’s phone:
“Nice phone.”
“…”
Xu Yao was slightly taken aback, not expecting such a bland reaction to her joy.
“The call isn’t hung up, is it? No need to hang up. Turn on video call so I can say hello to him.”
“…”
Qiu Ming, Nurse Xiao Yi, and Dr. Li all showed signs of concern.
Bloodclothes calling this time was clearly to assess the enemy’s situation, or perhaps even to provoke Happy…
Xu Yao didn’t move.
Happy spoke again:
“You should know Bloodclothes’ personality—he’s extremely suspicious. If he doesn’t see for himself how I’m doing now, he might can’t help but come in person. Turn on video call; I’ll say hello to him.” Happy’s tone was gentle, without the slightest hint of anger.
Hearing this, Dr. Li and the others finally understood why Xu Yao was holding her phone in front of Happy…
If Bloodclothes appeared in person before Happy, things might get even worse.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Yao slowly turned on video call with a complex expression, reached out, and aimed the camera at Happy.
…
“HI, GUYS.”
Happy’s actions left everyone in awe.
Those unaware of the situation would surely think Happy was simply greeting friends over a call…
Her expression, tone, and even her smile all appeared calm and natural, with no trace of anger or abnormality, as if she were talking to an acquaintance.
“Bloodclothes, you’re the first to call to ask about my condition. Thank you for your concern. Once I recover, I’ll go see you. Bye.”
A crisp snap ended the call.
Xu Yao hesitantly withdrew her gaze and said to the other end, “Satisfied now?”
“…”
No reply came from the other side for a long time. Only after a few seconds did the busy signal sound. Bloodclothes had hung up.
…
“How was it?”
As Bloodclothes put down his phone, a pair of soft arms gently wrapped around his neck, and a seductive voice spoke:
“Did that comatose man really wake up?”
Bloodclothes nodded silently.
“Don’t be so serious. It’s just a comatose man. Even if he still has his skills from before, he can’t pose a threat to us after over a year.”
The woman, completely unbothered, continued to tease Bloodclothes’ chest, tracing circles gently on it, but the man remained distracted, showing no reaction.
After half a minute, the woman finally gave up:
“What exactly did he say that worried you so much?”

“It’s precisely because he said nothing that I feel something’s off.” Bloodclothes’ brows were tightly furrowed…
He thought he understood happiness quite well.
But this time, he couldn’t decipher the meaning behind Happy’s seemingly calm smile and tone at all.
Anger?
None at all.
Nor was there any sign of suppressed calmness.
Behind those deep eyes and smile seemed to lie some invisible force, making it seem not like an act.
“Said nothing? That’s good, then. He knows he’s no longer our match, knows he can’t catch up with us no matter how much effort he puts in…”
“No.”
“He said he’d come to see me after recovering.”
Bloodclothes rubbed his forehead.
This wasn’t like him.
At first, when he heard the news, he hadn’t cared much, even imagining various reactions from Happy. But this reaction was completely unexpected and left him uneasy.
“Why worry so much? If he wants revenge, we’ll just deal with it…”
The woman said, “A player at the Life and Death realm, even if skilled, does that mean our Blood Alliance has no experts left?”
“What do you mean…”
“Since you care so much about him, it means he still poses a threat. Just kill him again—why worry?” Her tone was as calm as if she were talking about cleaning later.
“No. If we act now, everyone will know it was me…”
“Blood Alliance leader, do you still care about reputation?”
“I don’t care about reputation, but he’s drawn too much attention now, along with those from his old school. They once killed me twice, causing chaos throughout First-Class Hall. Acting now might lead to the Blood Alliance repeating that mistake.”
“Then… should we wait?”
“Yes!”
Bloodclothes’ gaze became firm:
“Wait, until the aura of his former expertise fades and everyone loses interest. Wait until he becomes just an ordinary top-tier expert, then send someone to deal with him… Have the elders take the lead—Third, Seventh, Thirteenth! All of them!”
“The elders? Those people are ruthless. Sending just these three really shows respect for him…” the woman exclaimed.
The three codenames Bloodclothes mentioned were all renowned top experts in the martial world, each at the Wuwei realm with ruthless skills!
“If we’re going to act, it must be with full force, crushing the threat at its source right away.” Bloodclothes smiled, but his heart was icy. He wouldn’t underestimate an opponent who had once defied the Star-Sucking Art through skill, like others would.
