The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 2307 - 2306: Double the Reward

Gathering a bunch of tree branches and tossing them down, Ling Feng felt it was about time. He hugged the trunk tightly, slowly sliding down.

Climbing up the tree was difficult, and getting down was also a bit of a skill, not any easier than going up.

After spending quite a bit of effort to return to the ground, Ling Feng was already panting heavily.

After resting for a long while and fully recovering his strength, Ling Feng got up to tidy himself up, picked dozens of intact red fruits, and put them in his pocket.

There were still many left, but he was too lazy to take more.

The light in the forest had dimmed considerably, it seemed that the sun here was about to set, so Ling Feng didn’t waste any more time, he picked up his curved saber and embarked on his return journey.

He couldn’t be careless on the way back either; he definitely didn’t want to hang around this forest without cause.

Luckily, perhaps due to the evening setting in, there were no ambushes on the way back; only a snake attempted to attack him, but Ling Feng swiftly dealt with it.

After leaving the forest, the Ling Family Village was in the distance with smoke rising, Ling Feng immediately quickened his pace.

He wasn’t in a hurry to hand in the task; he was just hungry.

Up till now, he didn’t know the specifics of what was happening at his home, worried that he might not get to eat dinner.

On this outing, he had been cautious, so after returning the original way, he quickly found Xiao Xiao’s home.

Ling Feng didn’t bother to greet, he just went in directly.

Then he again heard Xiao Xiao shouting in surprise: "You, you came back!"

"What the heck?"

Ling Feng was taken aback hearing this, then asked, "What’s the meaning? Did you assume I’d never return?"

"No, that’s not what I meant!"

Xiao Xiao’s eyes widened in horror.

Seeing her like this, Ling Feng thought for a bit and nodded: "I get it now, the so-called fruit was just an excuse, you actually wanted to use the forest’s poisonous insects and ferocious beasts to kill me!"

"No, it’s not like that, I really need those fruits!" Xiao Xiao explained!

Ling Feng squinted, took a step forward: "The fruits are back, but I changed my mind, you have to give me double the benefits now!"

"...."

Xiao Xiao was dumbfounded on the spot, looking at him with astonishment: "Double, double?"

"Of course, do you know how much effort I had to put in? Just dealing with various wild beasts and poisonous snakes had me killing a heap; I almost died from exhaustion climbing the tree!"

Ling Feng said, advancing toward her: "That’s not the main thing, the main thing is that I think you wanted to kill me!"

"I really didn’t!"

Xiao Xiao looked wronged, earnestly explaining.

"Quit pretending, I see you’re feeling guilty!"

Ling Feng sneered, pulling a chair over to sit down, then crossed his legs: "I won’t argue with you, but the remuneration must be doubled!"

"..."

Indeed, Xiao Xiao was a bit guilty, otherwise, she could have turned hostile at Ling Feng’s attitude.

But unexpectedly, he actually brought the fruits back.

In this Ling Family Village, it had been a long time since anyone had dared reach beneath that tree.

Let alone bring the fruits back!

At this moment, Xiao Xiao’s understanding of Ling Feng deepened; he wasn’t a simple character.

After pondering, she said to Ling Feng: "But I can only give you a cultivation technique to enhance your physique, there’s nothing else I can do."

"Is that so?"

Ling Feng thought for a moment, then laughed: "That works too; besides that, you have to include meals since I’m hungry!"

Xiao Xiao considered for a bit, felt she wouldn’t be at a loss, then nodded: "Alright, let’s do that!"

"Great!"

Ling Feng was very satisfied, finally resolving the dinner issue.

Then he reached into his arms to take out the fruits, along with the glowing things he obtained from killing beasts.

Xiao Xiao beside him stared dumbfounded, the whole person in a daze!

Observing her expression, Ling Feng couldn’t help but chuckle internally!

Though he didn’t know what these things were for, from her expression, one could discern they were valuable!

If so, there was an opportunity to negotiate!

Sure enough, once everything was placed on the table, Xiao Xiao walked over, surprisingly asked: "Are these your spoils?"

"Yeah!"

Ling Feng shrugged: "If not my spoils, should they be something I randomly picked up?"

"You can do it!"

Xiao Xiao’s eyes were full of surprise, picking up the stuff on the table and examining it with a full expression of reluctance to let it go.

Seeing her like this, Ling Feng had a little idea pop up.

So he thought for a moment, smilingly asked: "You like these things, huh?"

"Hmm, these are all infused with Xuan Qi, they’re treasures!" Xiao Xiao said.

Ling Feng was stunned: "What’s Xuan Qi?"

"It’s the primal qi we cultivate here!" Xiao Xiao explained.

Ling Feng understood upon hearing, it’s just the Spiritual Energy on Earth!

Simply different names in different places.

So he quickly asked: "So absorbing the Xuan Qi inside can make one stronger?"

"Exactly!"

Xiao Xiao nodded and continued: "These items are very hard to obtain, didn’t expect you’d find so many!"

"Is it really hard?"

Ling Feng didn’t think so, he smiled and said: "I actually found it pretty easy!"

Xiao Xiao looked up at him, then asked: "Can you give me these things?"

"Sure!"

Ling Feng agreed without hesitation.

Firstly, he wanted to foster good relations, and secondly, these things weren’t hard to obtain; if he wanted, he could just kill beasts to get them!

Xiao Xiao was overjoyed upon his agreement, immediately asked: "Do you intend to change your physique now or eat dinner first?"

"Let’s eat dinner first, I’m really hungry!"

Ling Feng hadn’t experienced such hunger in a long time, as a normal person and after expending so much energy, he felt like he could devour a whole cow!

Other matters, no matter how important, could wait until after dinner!

Xiao Xiao nodded: "Then wait a bit."

After saying that, she walked to the back without caring about the stuff on the table.

Ling Feng thought she was going to cook, but after just a minute, she returned from the back, carrying a tray.

Seeing the items on the tray, Ling Feng froze!

On it were round objects, resembling potatoes no matter how you looked at them!

"Eat up, these should be enough for you!" Xiao Xiao said.

"Oh."

Ling Feng was speechless, picked one up and split it open, smelling the fragrance, discovering they were indeed potatoes!

He raised his head, looking at Xiao Xiao: "You usually eat this?"

"Yeah, the whole village eats this, why?" Xiao Xiao asked.

"Is there no meat?" Ling Feng asked with a bitter smile.

"No, meat is a valuable commodity; even as a witch, I can’t eat it casually!" Xiao Xiao explained.
