Open a Clinic to Cultivate Myself

The next day, Bai Jing and Qing Zhui had returned.

Ning Tao rode on his electric motorbike to fetch them at the airport. Once they met, Qing Zhui ran up to him and crashed into his embrace, completely ignoring how many people could have been watching.

Ning Tao hugged her tightly. He also missed her very dearly, as if it had been a long time since they parted.

There were no words exchanged between the two. Their yearning and affection for each other were expressed and conveyed to each other through their bodies. The feeling was very comfortable and natural.

The two did not part for another minute. Many people around them were casting strange gazes.

Bai Jing coughed and said, “Stop hugging. You can continue at home.”

Ning Tao then released Qing Zhui. “Let’s go home.”

Qing Zhui nodded. “Okay.”

Bai Jing spread her arms open and stared at Ning Tao.

Ning Tao reached over to pull Bai Jing’s luggage and headed outside.

Bai Jing’s open arms were frozen in midair. She huffed, “Brother-in-law, what’s the meaning of this?”

Ning Tao turned back and smiled. “Let’s speak when we get back.”

Qing Zhui turned around and pulled Bai Jing’s hand and caught up.

An hour later, Ning Tao arrived at the Sky Clinic on his God’s Will electric motorbike. He was about to get off the bike but Qing Zhui hugged tightly to his waist.

“Brother Ning, I’m… I’m scared. Can I not go in?” Qing Zhui appeared to be very anxious.

Ning Tao said, “Building bridges and roads and helping disaster victims are all great merits. You should try going in to see if the good-evil tripod will still try to suppress you. Try to go in. If it isn’t so painful anymore, it will be more convenient for you to go anywhere in the future.”

Qing Zhui then let go of Ning Tao’s waist and got off the bike.

Ning Tao looked at Bai Jing, who was still on the God’s Will electric motorbike. “Sister Bai, don’t you want to go in to take a look?”

Bai Jing faced away from him.

Ning Tao shook his head somewhat helplessly, then walked to the entrance of the clinic and unlocked it with a key.

Qing Zhui followed Ning Tao inside. The door of the clinic closed on its own. At that moment, she subconsciously shivered.

The good-evil tripod’s expression was furious as smoke fumed out of the tripod. Sounds of wind and thunder could be vaguely heard. Qing Zhui was very afraid, but it was indeed not as painful as before. Even though she was still feeling uncomfortable and scared, it was still bearable.

Building bridges and roads and helping disaster victims were all great merits. Even though Qing Zhui’s sins had not been completely eliminated, there had at least been a significant decrease.

Ning Tao grabbed Qing Zhui’s hand and inserted a small amount of spiritual power in it. Qing Zhui felt significantly comfortable, regaining a rosy hue on her face.

“I’m much better now. It seems like doing charity helps. I must do more charity in the future,” Qing Zhui said.

Ning Tao smiled as he said, “Come with me to Africa. There are many people who need help there, you’ll have many more chances to do charity.”

“Africa?” Qing Zhui asked in surprise.

Ning Tao told her about Fan Huaying’s invitation to see the tribe chief.

“When?” Qing Zhui asked.

Ning Tao said, “I’ve prepared for us to take action tomorrow, but we don’t have a convenient door there. So we can only take the plane there.”

Qing Zhui grinned. “I’ll go wherever you go.”

Ning Tao pinched her cheek, then he seemed to have recalled something and walked to the lock wall.

He remembered someone. Joanna. He had requested Joanna to leave blood lock prescription slips everywhere she went. Joanna did not travel overseas after she returned to America, so she could have only left blood locks in New York. But it had been some time since then, so he wondered if she had traveled overseas for vacation or work.

Upon closer observation of the lock wall, there were two new blood locks in two different spots. Just looking at the new blood locks, it was not possible to tell which countries and cities they were located in.

Ning Tao pondered for a moment before searching on the world map on his phone. He then connected all the blood locks together with a pen and compared the lines to the world map on his phone. With this comparison, he realized that the blood locks he had drawn in Ruitian were located in the most northern regions. The blood lock he drew in New York, USA, corresponded with the American region, and the ones he drew in Shan City, Beidu, Guan City corresponded with the Asian region.

Lastly, he looked at the two new blood locks. With a comparison and checking the corresponding positions, he arrived at answers very soon. One of the two new blood locks was in Africa, which very likely was in Egypt, and the other was in the Middle East, which was very likely in Dubai.

“I’ll go take a look. Perhaps we’ll be able to save some traveling time,” Ning Tao said.

“I’ll go with you. We can help each other in case anything happens,” Qing Zhui said.

Ning Tao said, “Okay. Since you’re already able to endure the clinic much better than before, then let’s go.”

“Should we ask sister, too?” Qing Zhui glanced over at the entrance subconsciously.

“No,” Ning Tao said.

Qing Zhui giggled as she said, “What gripe are you two having with each other?”

Ning Tao said smilingly, “What gripe? I’ll definitely take her too after I’m done surveying the route.”

Qing Zhui then asked, “Have you consummated with Sister Hao?”

Ning Tao: “…”

Qing Zhui pouted. “It seems like a ‘no’ judging from the look on your face. I thought you would have done it when I was not around. I didn’t expect you two to have done nothing. It must be an issue with her.”

Ning Tao appeared to be very awkward, grabbing the key and inserted it into one of the new blood locks. Once the convenient door opened, he pulled Qing Zhui by her hand and entered.

The sky was clear in Beidu, but once they were out of the convenient door, it was a cloudy night sky. A lightning strike flashed across the sky, illuminating Ning Tao’s and Qing Zhui’s vision.

They were beside a pyramid. It was indiscernible which pharaoh it belonged to, but they saw the ordinary prescription that was left there after the convenient door had disappeared. The slip was stuck in a gap between two stone bricks.

They were lucky to have come earlier to survey the place. Otherwise, the incoming rain would have drenched the prescription slip and the blood lock would have been destroyed.

Ning Tao leaped and jumped on the pyramid. He then used Ladder under Feet, rapidly scaling the pyramid.

Qing Zhui followed behind.

Ning Tao stopped halfway up the pyramid. He had found a place that was suitable for drawing a blood lock. It was a huge stone brick with an indentation caused by erosion.

Ning Tao broke the skin of his finger with a bite then drew a blood lock in the indentation.

“You bit your finger again. Let me clean it for you.” Qing Zhui came closer and grabbed Ning Tao’s injured hand.

Ning Tao looked up, thinking about finding a few more spots suitable for drawing blood locks. But just when he was surveying the place, he suddenly felt a warm and soft sensation on his finger. He immediately glanced over and saw Qing Zhui sucking on his finger.

Tender, plump lips and a flexible, slender tongue, and a finger between those lips…

Ning Tao’s finger instantly stiffened and seemed to have swollen as well.

“All right, all right.” Ning Tao could not take it anymore.

But Qing Zhui shook her head. “Just a while more.”

Her voice was muffled but it was peculiarly inviting.

Ning Tao refused to let her continue, immediately retracting his finger, and charged down the pyramid. But he had not expected how steep the pyramid’s slope was when he started running and ended up plunging down.

Qing Zhui gaped as Ning Tao tumbled down the pyramid like a ball. Her tiny mouth still maintained the shape it had when she was sucking on his finger. However, before she could react, Ning Tao had already crashed to the ground, picking himself up and waving to her.

Qing Zhui sighed in resignation then arrived on the ground in a few hops.

Ning Tao then found a hidden valley, which allowed him to draw a few blood locks in areas protected from natural elements. Lastly, he opened a blood lock and returned to the Sky Clinic.

After returning to the Sky Clinic, he opened the second blood lock.

Behind the convenient door was another room decorated in typical Middle Eastern style. The prescription slip with the blood lock was placed on a coffee table.

Ning Tao could not help smiling wryly. Joanna always loved to place the prescription slips in an obvious area. He would not count on her to get rid of this bad habit.

Qing Zhui walked to the window and lifted the curtain. “Brother Ning, there’s a street downstairs. What building is that opposite? It’s so tall.”

Ning Tao also saw that tall building. He smiled as he said, “That is Dubai’s Burj Khalifa. It seems like I was right. This is Dubai. This could be Joanna’s room.”

Qing Zhui stuck out her long tongue and waved it in the air, then retracted it, saying, “She’s not here anymore. She left about a day ago.”

Her tongue was indeed a multifunctional tongue.

As Qing Zhui looked over at Ning Tao, her gaze was shimmering in excitement. “Brother Ning, I’m so warm… How about we…”

Actually, he already knew what she wanted to do since she sucked on his finger just now. He had also been holding back. But he only had one first time. Should he give it to Qing Zhui or Jiang Hao? He had still not figured out how to answer this question. Qing Zhui had been with Bai Jing for some time. Bai Jing must have taught her some techniques, so she had become increasingly more enticing than before. It was quiet here, making it a suitable environment. Could he just stop thinking about that troublesome question?

Ning Tao hesitated.

But Qing Zhui did not. She undid the strings of her dress, approaching Ning Tao step by step.

“Doot, doot…”

His phone suddenly rang.

“I… Let me pick up this call.” Ning Tao was in a dilemma to begin with, so this abrupt phone call had helped him out of this sticky situation. He took out his phone and realized that it was a call from Zhang Chengdong, the imperial Qing physician. He picked it up instantly.

“Doctor Ning, where are you? I’m already prepared and I’ve also arrived in Beidu. Let’s meet,” Zhang Chengdong said.

Ning Tao said, “I’m in Dubai now. I’ll be back soon. Give me a few minutes.”

“You’re in Dubai? Give you a few minutes?” Zhang Chengdong’s voice was filled with surprise.

Ning Tao seemed to have realized that he had said something wrong. He then corrected himself. “Just joking. Where are you? Give me your location, I’ll go pick you up immediately.”

Qing Zhui sighed as she retied the strings of her dress.

All things come to those who wait.
