Extraordinary Medical Saint in the City

Chapter 1569 - 1567: That’s Right, I’m Messing With You—So What?

"What?"

Lan Zhengqing’s eyes twisted fiercely, his features contorting unnaturally.

"Apologize to Qiu Xi? You want me to apologize to a dead citizen?!"

"That’s right, I think I’ve made myself quite clear, there’s no need to repeat it. Apologize to Qiu Xi, and I’ll return your arm."

"Bullshit! Impossible! I, Lan Zhengqing, will absolutely not bow my head to a dead citizen! Absolutely not!"

Lan Zhengqing was quite stubborn, refusing Lin Fan’s suggestion with a proud face.

Lin Fan pouted, shrugging his shoulders.

"Lan Shao, I suggest you think about it, or else you’ll miss this chance forever."

"Impossible! I’d rather die!"

Lan Zhengqing spoke with conviction, asking him, a prince of the Water Clan, to apologize to a dead citizen—was he crazy?!

He has never apologized to anyone, not ever!

Let alone a dead citizen.

Though he desperately wanted his severed arm back, if he truly apologized, he wouldn’t be able to mingle in the Five Elements Realm anymore!

This unreasonable demand, he could absolutely never agree to.

Face is more important than anything!

"Let me ask you again, is it really impossible? It’s just an apology, a simple ’I’m sorry, I was wrong, please forgive my rashness’ could solve all the problems. Are you really unwilling to try?" Lin Fan tried to persuade earnestly.

"I! Re! Fuse! Don’t you understand?" Lan Zhengqing would rather let his severed arm bleed than bow to a dead citizen.

"Alright, since you’re so steadfast, then it must be this way."

Lin Fan spread his hands, looking helpless.

Awkwardness permeated the air, Lin Fan held the severed arm, useless to him, while Lan Zhengqing watched it longingly in Lin Fan’s hand.

Qiu Xi seemed unable to bear seeing Lan Zhengqing bleed, gently tugged at Lin Fan’s shirt.

After some rest, miraculously her arm restored to its original shape, even able to lift!

However, there were still damaged areas in her body, and her legs weren’t fully healed, remaining a bloody mess.

But at least she’s on the path to recovery.

"Lin Fan, why not give him back his arm, it’s quite pitiful."

"Qiu Xi, you’re truly too kind-hearted. Lan Zhengqing beat you like this, almost took your life, yet you still speak for him. Though you had a close connection before, now there’s no relation between you, you don’t need to speak for him."

"Are you jealous?"

Qiu Xi suddenly uttered an unrelated sentence, teasing Lin Fan.

Lin Fan was stunned, scratching his head, smiling sheepishly.

He didn’t expect to be teased by a little girl.

"In any case, I won’t give Lan Zhengqing the arm, unless he apologizes to you."

"How could he apologize, with such high pride and arrogance, how could he apologize to a dead citizen. He’s high above, and I’m like dust beneath..."

"No, both of you standing on the land of the Five Elements Realm, that makes you the same people, there’s no distinction between high and low. Don’t ever have such thoughts again, or you’ll despise yourself for life!"

Lin Fan’s words were harsh, he disliked Qiu Xi demeaning herself.

What does Lan Zhengqing count for, high above? Even higher, he’s still been severed by me, what’s he pretending for!

So when Qiu Xi said those words, he indeed felt annoyed and angry.

Qiu Xi saw Lin Fan’s expression change, realizing she misspoke again. But in the environment she grew in, these concepts were deeply rooted and not easily changed.

"Lin Fan, I’m sorry, I wasn’t paying attention... I won’t say such things anymore, rest assured, I’ll stand up proudly, have dignity!"

"Good, that’s the attitude you should have. And not just you, all dead citizens should have it!"

"Mm!"

Qiu Xi nodded heavily, under Lin Fan’s depiction, she seemed to see a future where dead citizens were recognized by everyone, treated as equals.

She wished such days would come soon.

"Rest assured, I will make Lan Zhengqing apologize, if he doesn’t, then I’ll have to handle this severed arm."

Lin Fan smiled, waved the severed arm, smiling slightly.

The next second.

He directly looked at Lan Zhengqing, sneered: "Lan Zhengqing, you’ve already missed the simplest chance, such a stubborn mule."

"I will absolutely not apologize to dead citizens, give up!" Lan Zhengqing’s face was ferocious, baring his blood-red teeth.

"Now it’s not as simple as apologizing." Lin Fan spoke slowly, twisting his neck, then said. "Now if you want to get the arm, you must kneel before Qiu Xi, ask for Qiu Xi’s forgiveness, until Qiu Xi nods agreement to let you up. That’s when I’ll return your arm."

"Wh... what?! Kneel?! You... you..."

Lan Zhengqing almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

No one has ever asked him to kneel!

Utter humiliation!

Utter humiliation!

His face turned pale, devoid of blood, cheeks twitched slightly, sole remaining hand clenched into a fist, exuding a terrifying aura.

"Lin Fan!" Lan Zhengqing gritted his teeth, roared. "You’re stepping over the line!"

"Stepping over the line? Heh, Lan Shao, do you not understand what this term means? Am I bullying you? Haven’t you bullied dead citizens enough? I’m just asking you to apologize, yet you’re unwilling, throwing tantrums, who do you think you are? You know you’re the one asking me for help now, right?"

"No way, I’m not kneeling! Absolutely impossible!"

"Oh, really?"

Lin Fan shrugged, directly grabbing one of the fingers from the severed arm.

Lan Zhengqing saw it, heart trembled, broke out in cold sweat immediately.

"You... what are you going to do?!"

Before he could finish speaking, crack!

The finger on the severed arm snapped, Lin Fan glanced at the broken finger disdainfully, sighed lightly, raised his hand high.

"No... don’t!"

Before Lan Zhengqing could refuse, Lin Fan casually tossed it, the finger flew into the sky, vanishing in the clouds, lost forever, never to be retrieved.

Lan Zhengqing was about to explode in rage!

His insides churned!

Lin Fan, right under his nose, snapped his finger and tossed it out, disappearing instantly!

This damn!

Too arrogant!

Too dismissive of him!

His arm... his finger... damnit! damn!

However.

Lan Zhengqing, besides impotent fury, couldn’t do anything. He could only watch as Lin Fan mischievously toyed with his severed arm, helpless.

Damn bastard! Truly damn!

Meanwhile.

He felt a tiny bit of regret inside, he should have apologized the first time it was mentioned, now he must kneel to apologize...

Maybe... might as well just kneel!

Anyway, these guys will die, such news surely won’t get out!

Lan Zhengqing steeled himself internally, feet slightly trembled, intending to kneel.

But Lin Fan suddenly spoke.

"If you want the arm back, you must kneel before Qiu Xi, knock your head three times asking her forgiveness."

"Ha?! Knocking... head?! How did this..."

"You didn’t cherish the opportunity properly, missed the best timing." Lin Fan spread his hands, spoke helplessly.

"Lin Fan... you’re f*cking playing me!" Lan Zhengqing jumped in fury, blood splurted from the wound!

"You’re pretty smart, yes, I’m playing you, what about it?"
