Chapter 3

But a few seconds later, he could no longer smile. William Foster stood up again, looking tough and unbreakable.

  "Bang~!"

  Another heavy punch, and William Foster fell down again as expected.

  But not long after, he stood up once more, this time even bleeding from the corner of his mouth.

  The girl was already crying. Seeing William Foster fall and get back up again and again, she couldn't imagine that someone would fight so desperately for her.

  When William Foster struggled to his feet for the fifth time, holding onto a small tree, the thug was finally shocked. He cursed, "Damn! Guess I'm just unlucky, shit, I'll admit defeat for this one today!"

  With that, he turned to leave, letting go of the girl's hand at the same time.

  But just then, the branches above suddenly shook, and a pitch-black object fell down abruptly.

  "Pa~" It hit the thug's head squarely, and with a muffled groan, he passed out!

  Instead, the black object bounced off the thug's head and landed right in William Foster's arms.

  ……

  "Xin'er~ Xin'er~~ are you in there? Why aren't you coming out yet?"

  A woman's voice called from afar. The girl quickly responded, but when she turned around, she only saw that person staggering away into the dark woods, not even getting a look at his face...

  Another girl hurried over, and was slightly startled to see the thug on the ground. The girl called Gracie said calmly, "Call the police."

  ……

  Lying in bed, William Foster felt as if all his bones were shattered, especially the punch to his face, which nearly knocked his eyeball out.

  "Damn! I just had sex, and you went out and got into a fight, and got beaten up like this. Who the hell did this? I'll go cripple him tomorrow!" Tommy held a bottle of medicinal wine, rubbing it on William Foster's wounds.

  "Ahh... it hurts..." William Foster gritted his teeth and cried out, "Can't you be a bit gentler?"

  Tommy glared and said, "Yell all you want! I'm a doctor of infertility, I only deal with sperm production and ejaculation. For bruises and injuries, that's a surgeon's job! Suck it up! Who did this to you?"

  William Foster thought of the thug's miserable scream when he was hit by that black thing, and said, "No need to ask, he already got what he deserved."

  After saying that, William Foster turned his head, only to see a pair of pink lace panties draped over the back of the chair by his desk. It was clearly a woman's underwear, and William Foster's face changed instantly: "Whose panties are those?"

  "Lily's. Things were rushed, she left without taking her panties." Tommy said casually.

  "So she went back without wearing any?"

  "She wore some, she wore yours, the pair on your nightstand..."

  William Foster's face turned pale: "That pair... hasn't been washed for half a month, it's stiff..."

  "No worries, I told her they were mine, and she happily wore them home!"

  ……

  After Tommy left, he closed the door behind him, telling William Foster to get some rest, since he had to work the next day.

  Only then did William Foster carefully take out that heavy object from his arms—the very thing that had saved him. Otherwise, who knows how badly he would have been beaten today. And that girl didn't even leave a QQ number, what a pity.

  Under the light, the pitch-black object seemed to be a book, with a faint glow flowing across its surface. William Foster thought he was seeing things, so he rubbed his eyes, only to realize it was his own blood from the corner of his mouth that had smeared onto it, probably reflecting the light.

  The cover of the black book was about half a centimeter thick, hard as iron, with an unknown material, but carved on it were four large characters: 《青囊天书》!

  With a "boom~", William Foster's mind went blank. Was someone playing a joke on him?

  The Qing Nang Book? Impossible!

  The Qing Nang Book was a legendary medical classic left by Hua Tuo. After Hua Tuo's death, this medical treasure, which contained all of Hua Tuo's life's achievements, was burned by the wife of Warden Wu. It was a great loss in the history of Chinese medicine. Now, the Qing Nang Heavenly Book in William Foster's hands looked ancient, but it was still hard to believe that this could be the long-lost Qing Nang Book.

  William Foster's hands trembled slightly as he excitedly opened the first page!

  Immediately, lines of ancient traditional characters appeared before his eyes: "I once wished to save the world, but fate did not favor me. After my death, I hope the grateful will study this carefully, to inherit all I have learned in my life!"

  William Foster often read classical Chinese medicine books, so he could naturally understand these words. At this moment, he was overjoyed. These lines must have been left by Hua Tuo, they must be! The calligraphy was powerful and free-flowing!

  He never expected the Qing Nang Book to fall from the sky. William Foster was overjoyed, and of course had no idea what this heavenly book would bring him. So he studied it through the night, even remembering clearly that Tommy got up four times to use the bathroom—seems like this guy has a bladder problem, frequent and urgent urination.

  ……

  At this moment, atop the mountains, surrounded by birdsong, flowers, and auspicious clouds, a woman in flowing white stood at the peak, gazing intently down at the mortal world.

  "Has Master really passed away?"
