"Yes, your problem is that you slept on your arm all night, so it hurts for now. Just let it be a few more hours and it will go back to normal," Ning said.
"Huh? Doctor, please I need a massage for my arm," the patient said.
"I'm sorry, but I can't do that. I am no longer allowed to give out massage to people who do not require it. Thank you for coming, please give me your volunteer coupons," Ning asked.
"F*ck you Doctor," the man shouted and handed Ning a 1 point coupon.
Ning sighed. This had been the norm for the last 3 days since he had to stop the massage services. He had told his patients that there would no longer be any massaging done aside from the ones who truly need it, and that had left a lot of them angry.
Some of them had been waiting there for days and suddenly not getting the thing they came for, they started leaving in drove.
Some still wished that he could secretly do it for them and went in, but once they were told No, they left feeling angry and bitter.
Ning honestly didn't like the atmosphere anymore. Now that he wasn't doing massages, people also stopped coming to him anymore.
He waited for 2 more hours and only 3 people came in where only 1 had a serious problem, while the other two were just looking to get massages.
Once they were gone, nobody else came.
Ning arrived the next day, hoping to get some more patients than yesterday at least, but even then there were none.
The next two days were the same. Just an empty day where the patients adamantly denied coming to his place anymore.
So, the next day, Ning decided to take a small break. It was his day off, so he went to the forest to hunt some beasts and let off some steam.
Night and the beetle were both still in evolution. Night's progress seemed to be going nowhere, but he was patient with it. Just in case, he had also increased Nights beast space to 200 kilograms.
On the other hand, the beetle had gone into its cocoon. Ning didn't know when exactly, but very soon, it would come out as an evolved beast.
'That would be a fun thing to see,' Ning thought. His bald head and robes were a clear identity for him, so nobody stopped him when he was walking around the town. Thankfully, nobody looked at him close enough to recognize who he was.
He made his way to the forest and went deeper into it. Along the way, he found a few beasts, but with his nearly 7th Qi Condensation Realm cultivation base, those beasts looked very weak, so he went even deeper.
Finding anything stronger than a 5th Qi Condensation realm monster was very hard in the forest even when one walked deep, so instead of going deep towards the center, Ning started walking deeper towards the shores where he doubted people would go regularly.
He ran to reach this place and soon, Ning found a beast worth fighting.
A little ahead of him, on the tree was a massive coiled and camouflaged python that was staring directly at Ning. If he hadn't randomly seen it, he might have gotten attacked just now.
"Oh, a Tree Fading Python huh. They are quite low on rankings, but I should be careful of their bites," he thought. He quickly checked the cultivation base and realized that it was actually an 8th Qi Condensation realm monster.
'Woah, I thought most of them were dead. Glad to see they're not,' Ning thought and brought out his bloodred spear.
The python was 2 realms higher than him so he had to be careful. He was strong, but he didn't know exactly how much. So, he started using the best fighting technique he had with the spear, the Revolving Spear technique.
At the same time, he used the Hypnotizing Dance but it barely worked on the python. While Ning was slowly gaining power with his spear, the python was creeping upon him.
Once it was close enough, it immediately leaped towards Ning. Ning was ready for the attack and immediately brought around his swinging spear and hit the python right in the jaw.
With the slight attack, the python missed Ning and immediately curled back around. But by that time, Ning was already hitting its exposed body with his spear.
He spun the spear around, hitting the snake's body with the tip each time around. The spinning motion added energy to it that couldn't otherwise be added normally.
Ning saw the python wrap back around and jumped immediately. Suddenly, he also saw the python attacking him with its tail. He easily dodged that too.
He landed near the python's lower half and started attacking it too. His anger and frustration at the fact that he could no longer get patients and even when he did, he only got 1-star coupons were coming out.
He was here to take em all out and he did. Each hit released his pain and frustration. He had realized by now that he could beat the snake at any moment, but he didn't. Instead, he kept on hitting it all over its body while constantly dodging it.
It was never even a fight. In the end, the snake died due to having too many wounds.
'F*ck that wasn't enough,' he thought. He needed something better. He walked around looking for different beasts but managed to find none that were worth fighting against.
With even 8th Qi Condensation realm monsters dying with ease, he needed something better.
Suddenly, he heard something.
"You idiots. We need to find them once more, they ran around here somewhere."
As soon as he heard that, Ning's ears perked up and he started smiling. But very soon, that smile turned evil as he turned around to look at the man that was not far from him.
'Finally, it's time for my revenge.'
