Amazing Pastoral World: Unparalleled Medical Queen

Having experienced her past life and lived for more than thirty years in two lives combined, Lu Ke'er is not an inexperienced or emotional girl.

In her previous life, she had been in love once. However, the deeper her love was, the more miserable it ended. No matter how deep the love was, it could not resist the temptation of high position, fame and benefits.

The man she once thought understood her best gave up their three-year relationship and turned into the arms of the hospital director's daughter.

Then, the director's daughter regarded her as a thorn in her side and falsely accused her of a minor medical accident. She was unable to defend herself and was eventually forced to resign.

The moment she left the hospital, she realized that love was the most unreliable thing. The only thing that could really allow her to fight against the powerful and stand out in the world was to be strong enough.

As for anyone or anything that might put her in trouble, she would stay away from it as soon as possible.

She was not wrong, she thought.

Living a new life, she cherishes her current family and life. She just wants to live a peaceful and ordinary life and never get caught up in the turmoil of her previous life.

She lay listlessly on the bed for a long time before she got up.

The sweet aroma of rice wafts through the air.

Qiu Shui's cooking skills are getting better and better. Even though she has no appetite now, smelling such a fragrance will stimulate her appetite and make her want to eat something.

When you open the door, the fresh mountain scent hits your nose.

Today, the sun was shining. Ji and Qiuyu hung the washed clothes in the yard. Some men's clothes were particularly eye-catching, fluttering slightly in the wind.

Lu Ke'er was slightly stunned.

She recognized that two of the clothes were not Lu's father's.

Haven’t Ye Feng and Zuo Yi left yet?

Just as she was in a daze, Ji turned around and saw her, and said angrily, "You got up so early? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Lu Ke'er smiled and said, "Mom, it's getting late. It's already 9:00 p.m."

Judging from the position of the sun, it was probably around 10 a.m. It would be lunchtime in just over an hour.

"Are you hungry? Qiu Shui made red bean buns and egg yolk pastry. They taste really good. Eat some first to fill your stomach. Then you can eat more at lunch."

"I know." Lu Ke'er responded with a smile.

It feels good to have someone looking after you.

After a simple breakfast, Lu Ke'er wanted to ask several times about where Ye Feng and Zuo Yi were going, but she swallowed the words back when they came to her lips.

"Miss, the boy has woken up." Qiu Yu walked over and said, "He wants to see you."

Lu Ke'er was a little surprised.

The boy woke up a day earlier than she expected. It seemed that his body was also different from that of an ordinary person.

She walked into Chili's room.

Although the boy on the bed woke up, he was too weak to get up. He stared at her approaching with his narrow eyes without blinking.

"Thank you."

"Thank you."

The two spoke almost at the same time.

Lu Ke'er couldn't help laughing. The two of them reacted in unison, miraculously erasing the unfamiliarity and alienation between them.

"You are really lucky." Lu Ke'er said, "Do you know that the poison has accumulated deeply in your body?"

Chi Li nodded: "I know."

"You have to take detox every month, right?"

"Yes."

"Why did you stop taking it for two months?" Lu Ke'er sighed, "Do you know? If you don't take the antidote for the kind of poison you were infected with for a month, you will die. I didn't expect you to last two months."

This person must have profound inner strength to suppress the poison for such a long time. Otherwise, Lu Keer could not find any other reason.

Chi Li was silent for a while, then looked up into Lu Ke'er's eyes which were filled with concern. For some reason, he felt the urge to confide in her.

"My name is Chi Li, and I'm the number one killer in Soul Soliciting Tower. Do you... know Soul Soliciting Tower?"

"I've heard of it." Lu Ke'er seemed to be thinking about something. "It is said to be the most famous assassin organization in the martial arts world. You are the number one assassin? No wonder you are so skilled."

Seeing that she showed neither contempt nor fear, Chi Li felt relieved and continued, "The Soul-Seizing Tower only appeared in the martial arts world 20 years ago. It has grown to a considerable size and has 500 assassins. I was forced to join five years ago. At that time, I was poisoned..."

"Does the Soul-Seeking Tower have an antidote?" Lu Ke'er's eyes flickered.

"Yes." Chi Li's eyes flashed with sarcasm. "Later, I found out that the poison I was poisoned with was given by the owner of Soul-Seizing Tower to force me to work for him. The owner would give me half an antidote every month. This half antidote cannot remove all the toxins in my body, but it can keep me from being poisoned for a month. In fact, it's not just me. Among us killers, except for those who like to kill people and make a living from it, the rest are all controlled by this poison."

"What kind of person is this building owner?" Lu Ke'er became somewhat interested in the owner of Soul-Seizing Building. Being able to use poison to force so many martial arts masters to work for him, this person must be quite ruthless and resourceful.

"I have never met him in person." Chi Li said in a deep voice, "He is very cautious. We accept missions and contact the owner of the building through certain channels. For example, I go to a contact point every month, where there will be a note with the mission written in advance and half an antidote. Only killers who accept the mission and complete it on time can get that half antidote, and of course there is sometimes a reward. The contact point is different every time. Sometimes it is a private room in a restaurant, where something is pressed under the vase. Sometimes it is an ancient camphor tree at the foot of a mountain, and a small package is hidden in the tree hole... Anyway, there are many. In addition, if there is an emergency and we need to contact the owner of the building, we also have a set of contact codes and marks. We just need to write these codes or marks in some conspicuous places, and someone will naturally come to us. Sometimes it is a beggar, sometimes it is the owner of a hotel... But they are not people in the building, but are entrusted by others to pass on information for us."

"In other words, you have never had any contact with this host or his cronies?"

"Yes."

Lu Ke'er frowned slightly: "This host is very cautious. Why?"

Chi Li was slightly stunned.

He hadn't thought about this problem.

"Perhaps this is a way for him to control his subordinates?" Chi Li speculated, "The more mysterious he maintains, the more frightening people will be."

Lu Ke'er nodded: "Your speculation is not unreasonable. However, I still feel that something is wrong."

She was not a resourceful or calculating person, so she stopped thinking about it when she couldn't figure it out. She lowered her head and asked Chi Li, "With your skills, you should be able to complete the task. Why didn't you take the antidote on time?"

"Because...I really didn't complete the task."

Lu Ke'er was surprised: "Is that person's martial arts skills better than yours? Or is that person protected by guards who are more powerful than you?"

Chi Li replied: "Neither."

Lu Ke'er blinked and suddenly thought of a possibility: "You didn't accept that mission?"

Chi Li nodded: "Yeah."
