Chapter 131: Saving Lives and Healing Wounds
Liu Shunyi and Zhao Gou had been ridiculously busy these past few days.
Honestly, it was quite the absurd situation.
Liu Shunyi was just trying to play the role of a con artist—selling a stamina pill that was essentially similar to a pill designed to get folks all hyped up, only lasting a few hours.
But then…
Business exploded!
In the last few days alone, he raked in tens of millions of gold crystals.
In this Cave Heaven, they called gold crystals what the outside world would refer to as premium spirit stones.
Every single day, people came lining up to buy!
There were even some familiar faces who’d buy three times in one day.
Liu Shunyi was left completely dumbfounded.
“Aren’t you guys going to take a break?”
He couldn’t help but ask.
Those customers just laughed sheepishly.
“You look like a rookie, you wouldn’t understand!”
Then he watched as one buyer snagged a dozen pills and stuffed them all in his mouth before sprinting home.
Liu Shunyi could only think, these residents of the Cave Heaven sure had a wild spirit.
With all this hustle and bustle focused on refining pills, he hadn’t gathered much news.
And as for not refining pills?
Who would be foolish enough to pass up that mountain of premium spirit stones?
Finally, after closing up for the night…
Liu Shunyi received word.
The South Palace Young Master was on his way.
He immediately found Zhao Gou.
But upon seeing Zhao Gou, Liu Shunyi was taken aback.
Because Zhao Gou was currently leaning against the wall, his legs wobbly.
“Did you injure someone so badly they knocked you on the bed?”
Zhao Gou gulped.
“Can you toss me a pill or something? Otherwise, I’m stuck here!”
Liu Shunyi quickly handed him a pill.
After swallowing it, Zhao Gou felt a bit better.
Liu Shunyi was extremely curious now.
“Spill the details!”
Zhao Gou took a deep breath.
“So, the folks in this Cave Heaven are as fit as a fiddle, basically in good health, but they’re cursed, right? I thought I’d investigate that curse.”
“But you wouldn’t believe it; the people here are just too strong! I really couldn’t hold my ground, and I got pinned to the bed by a widow! As you know, my medical skills allow me to keep healing myself!”
“And then it just spiraled out of control!”
Liu Shunyi: “…”
He suddenly connected the dots to those folks who had bought his stamina pills earlier and glanced at Zhao Gou.
In a whisper, he asked, “Aren’t you worried about getting caught?”
Zhao Gou rolled his eyes.
“Do widows even understand those things?”
“But seriously, this isn’t a long-term solution. If this keeps up, I’m going to be worn out, plus I haven’t really gained any useful information.”
Liu Shunyi nodded.
“Alright, starting today we’ll switch tactics. Let’s go meet the South Palace Young Master!”
Zhao Gou took a deep breath.
“Finally, it’s over!”
With that, the two headed towards a secluded little courtyard.
Upon meeting the South Palace Young Master, they concealed their identities.
Liu Shunyi looked at Zhao Gou and said, “From now on, let’s call ourselves the ‘Saving Lives and Healing Wounds Duo.’ I’ll be the healer!”
Zhao Gou grinned at the name. “Then I’ll be the one who saves lives!”
They exchanged mischievous glances.
“Ah heh heh heh…”
——————
Creeeak.
The gate of the little courtyard swung open.
Liu Shunyi and Zhao Gou, faces masked, walked in.
Lin Wudao and the Shadow Guards immediately greeted them respectfully.
Liu Shunyi waved them off.
He then turned his attention to the South Palace Young Master, who was tied to a chair and looking rather dazed.
“What happened to him?”
Lin Wudao murmured, “Just a bit weak; otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to catch him!”
Liu Shunyi couldn’t help but look at Zhao Gou again.
Zhao Gou deadpanned: “What are you staring at me for?”
Liu Shunyi whispered, “I suddenly feel like you’re way stronger than I thought!”
Zhao Gou: “…”
Shortly after, the South Palace Young Master began to come to his senses.
As he tried to move, he realized he had been kidnapped.
Rather than panicking, he calmly sized up the group.
“Heh, you have some guts, daring to kidnap me. Do you even know who I am?”
Liu Shunyi replied, “South Palace Young Master!”
The Young Master paused for a moment.
“Knowing who I am, you still dared to kidnap me?”
Liu Shunyi smiled.
“Don’t worry, we’re not villains. In fact, I assure you, here with me, you won’t lose a single finger. You’ll leave just as you came in; I just want to ask you a few questions.”
The South Palace Young Master scoffed.
“You lot wouldn’t dare. And you outsiders don’t deserve to question me!”
Liu Shunyi merely chuckled.
“Let me introduce myself first.”
He pointed to Zhao Gou beside him.
“This is Saving Lives.”
“I’m the one who heals wounds!”
South Palace Young Master: “???”
“To clarify what our names imply, I’ll give you a demonstration.”
With that, Liu Shunyi brandished the Qingping Sword.
“Shhk…”
The Qingping Sword pierced straight through the guy’s heart.
Then he twisted the sword around.
“Ah…”
The South Palace Young Master let out a scream.
“Didn’t you say you wouldn’t hurt me?”
The Young Master glared at Liu Shunyi.
“Shhk~”
Liu Shunyi pulled the sword out.

Zhao Gou stepped forward.
“I’m Saving Lives!”
After saying that, Zhao Gou’s power enveloped the Young Master.
His wound not only healed, but even his blood flowed back into his body.
The Young Master looked at these two in disbelief.
At that moment, Zhao Gou suddenly said, “Healer, I feel like I’m having another epiphany. Shouldn’t we do this a few more times?”
Liu Shunyi: “!!!”
Good grief, for the sake of brotherhood, I guess I have to put this guy through it again.
With that, Liu Shunyi unsheathed the sword once more.
“Healer!”
“Shhk~”
This time, the sword cleanly decapitated the guy.
“Saving Lives!”
Zhao Gou revived him yet again.
“Saving Lives!”
“Healer!”
“Saving Lives!”
“Healer…”
In an instant.
Two hours later.
The South Palace Young Master was on his knees, banging his head on the ground repeatedly.
“My lords, no, no, no, two Yamas, I beg you, please stop saving lives and healing wounds! I was wrong; ask me anything, I’ll answer honestly.”
He banged his head again.
The sight of these two was pure nightmare fuel.
For two hours, he experienced a hundred and eight ways to die.
If he could just die, that would be one thing.
But he couldn’t! And he couldn’t even go insane either.
He constantly felt the dual torment of psychic and physical suffering.
He was truly on his knees.
Kneeling, with no complaints whatsoever.
Meanwhile, Liu Shunyi and Zhao Gou just scratched their heads.
They looked over at Lin Wudao, who had a pale face, the Shadow Guards, and others in the courtyard wearing masks.
Liu Shunyi couldn’t help asking, “Is our identity as Yama really that obvious?”
Lin Wudao’s group was sweating profusely.
Lin Wudao stayed silent.
He pulled out a crystal ball.
It recorded their “activities.”
Liu Shunyi, wielding a sword, shouting about healing wounds, then cutting the South Palace Young Master into pieces.
Zhao Gou excitedly calling out “saving lives,” instantly bringing him back to life.
This went on in a rhythmic cycle.
Lin Wudao’s meaning was clear.
“Look at what you’ve done! If you’re not Yama, then I must be!”
Even Liu Shunyi and Zhao Gou had redefined what it meant to save lives and heal wounds for the folks at King of Hell Hall.
Even the dark clouds above seemed like they were about to turn into fluffy white ones, seemingly frightened off by the two’s antics.
