Chapter 250 Cunning Man Xiaoniu“How is it? How is it? How do you feel?”
Lu Zhan and others opened their eyes wide, looking expectantly at Feng Jun.
“Nothing special, it stinks…oh…”
Feng Jun frowned, and suddenly there was a surprised look on his face, even before he finished talking. In an instant, his expression changed dramatically. He felt extreme pain and itching in each of his blood capillaries, as if they had been p.r.i.c.ked by needles.
The blood vessels on his forehead and neck throbbed, and his face turned red. “F*ck, this is too painful, more painful than the pain caused by amputation.”
But the pain was not the problem, it was the itchy feeling that reached deep into his marrow. He felt as if his heart had been p.r.i.c.ked by hundreds of claws, and he wanted only to strip off his own skin.
He could not help roaring in agony, and jumped out hurriedly, as if his b.u.t.tocks were on fire.
“Go back, bear with it for a while, you will be alright soon.”
Ding Ning was keeping any eye on him, on the alert for precisely this reaction. It was not easy for such a brave guy to try it, and he could not let him run away.
Reaching out his hand, he pressed Feng Jun’s head. Feng Jun could not resist his pressing and stepped in again.
“Boss, what on earth have I done wrong, that you are torturing me like this? Is it okay for you to give me a good beating? Let me out, let me out…”
Feng Jun nearly cried, and tears ran down his face. The itch was really unbearable for a man.
“Be good, I am doing this for your good. Keep at it for a few more minutes, and you will be fine. By then, you will not want to get out, even if I ask you to.”
Ding Ning spoke gently to him, much like coaxing a little child, but his hands pressed Feng Jun’s head firmly, keeping him still.
This move was so incredible that everyone looked at Ding Ning in shock. The truth was that Feng Jun was the best master, after Lu Zhan and Cheng Hu.
They found that Feng Jun could not bear the pain anymore, and was making all efforts to get out. As a doctor, Ding Ning had a little kung fu skill at most, but by pressing lightly, he made Feng Jun lose his resistance.
They realized that Ding Ning was not as ordinary as they thought. “Could he be a low-profile master?”
“Waaa…it is too painful. Oh, no, I am not afraid of the pain. It is too itchy, even my heart is itching. Every part of my body is itchy, waaa…”
Feng Jun was a tall and brave man, but he was obviously suffering badly, and even cried, making the others astonished. They began to regard the medical brew with as much fear as facing venomous snakes or scorpions. They vowed silently that they would not take a bath in the brew, even if they deliberately disobeyed their boss’s orders.
Now, Ding Ning was smiling, but he looked like a ferocious wolf in their eyes, making them shudder.
“Alas, you don’t understand my good intentions. Do you know the price of the medicines that went into the brew?”
After checking the time, Ding Ning released his hand sadly but angrily. “I used 18 kinds of medicinal herbs, which are all rare species, on the verge of extinction. Each kind can be easily auctioned at the auction house for millions of dollars. Since you don’t appreciate my kind heart, just come out.”
“Ah? So expensive?”
Feng Jun did not feel that confident, as he looked at Ding Ning. He did not want to disappoint his boss, but what he was feeling was really horrible. “I cannot bear it. Even if I disappoint the boss, I must come out.”
Thinking about that, Feng Jun felt guilty, and prepared to jump out.
At this moment, the piercing pain and itch suddenly disappeared, ebbing away like the tide. Instead, all the pores of his blood capillaries opened, making him feel very comfortable.
That comfort was beyond words, somewhat like bathing in a mother’s amniotic fluid. He felt warm and soothed. It was also like the excitement of e.j.a.c.u.l.a.t.i.o.n, making his soul reach the peak of comfort. Then, he couldn’t help giving out a soul-stirring moan.
What was important was that, his previous tiredness and pain were gone. The medicinal effects became infinite energy, swarming into him. His physical power increased, and he became deeply addicted to the feeling of the dramatic increase of power.
“F*ck, what’s wrong with Feng Jun? Is he imagining himself having s.e.x, and having an o.r.g.a.s.m?”
Gong Qiang blinked. Hearing his comfortable moan and looking at his blissful expression, he ridiculed him, as he looked on, in confusion.
Lu Zhan and others were also confused. “What’s wrong with Feng Jun? He deserves a good beating, because of his expression.”
“Come out quickly, if you don’t want to bathe anymore.”
Ding Ning looked serious, urging him impatiently, but he smiled silently. He checked the time, deliberately urging Feng Jun to come out, because he knew Feng Jun would be absolutely unwilling to do so.
“No, boss, I treated your good heart as nothing. It’s my fault. Please let me bathe longer, a few more minutes, just a while. I beg you.”
Ding Ning begged Ding Ning shamelessly, as if he was like a cute dog, trying to flatter its master.
Lu Zhan and others looked at one another. “What’s wrong?”
They all knew what Feng Jun was like; he was usually an extremely haughty person.
No matter how friendly he was with his comrades-in-arms, he was not likely to speak with them, in this shameless manner.
But Feng Jun’s actions changed their previous perception of him completely. They instinctively realized that the medical brew seemed to be something really extraordinary.
Ding Ning turned and left with a humph, feeling quite happy, and silently saying, “D*mn, I helped you refine your body, but you didn’t accept my offer. Now, let’s see if you will beg me.”
As Ding Ning left angrily, Feng Jun became quite anxious. But now he felt quite comfortable, especially due to the excitement brought by the constant physical power increase. He was deeply addicted to it, and could not bear to leave it.
“Alas, let the boss punish me, after my bath. At most, I shall ask the boss to give me a few kicks, but now I won’t come out, even though I get beaten.”
“Junzi, are you feeling feverish?”
Xiaoniu stupidly extended his hand to feel Feng Jun’s forehead, then felt his own forehead, and said strangely, “You don’t have a fever. Why are you talking nonsense?”
“You are the one talking nonsense. Do you understand the concept of reward after hardships? Do you what is the happiest thing in the world? Now, I have never been so happy.”
Feng Jun became angry when he saw Xiaoniu’s stupefied face. He shouted at him, but he did not wish to leave the tub.
Lu Zhan had a thoughtful expression on his face, and he asked tentatively, “Junzi, don’t you feel the pain or the itch, anymore?”
“No, I have never been so comfortable. All my tiredness is gone, my body is becoming stronger, and my physical power is growing. Our boss’s medical brew is really magical.”
Feng Jun shouted out deliberately, wanting Ding Ning to hear him, and ease his anger.
“Making your body stronger, and increasing your physical power?”
Lu Zhan’s eyes shone instantly with excitement, as he asked incredulously.
“Alas, our boss said this a long time ago, but you didn’t believe it. Unfortunately, I have not fully recovered yet. I am still weak and cannot bathe. Otherwise, the first one to bathe would not have been Feng Jun, but me.”
Sitting in a wheelchair, Cheng Hu came out from nowhere like a ghost, and spoke enviously.
“G.o.d, boss, boss, hehe…”
Lu Zhan dashed out and saw Ding Ning playing with his mobile phone, out of boredom. Rubbing his hands, he blushed and smiled flatteringly. “Could I also take a bath?”
“You have no wounds. You were only a little tired, you just need a rest, you don’t need to bathe. You should give this precious opportunity to others.”
Ding Ning did not even raise his eyes, as he replied to him, sarcastically.
“I…”
Ding Ning used the tone Lu Zhan once used, when speaking to him. Lu Zhan blushed, his lips moved, but he did not utter anything for a long time.
Embarra.s.sed, he did not know what to do. Seeing this, Ding Ning did not make fun of him anymore. Taking a bag of sealed ointment and throwing it to him, he said amicably, “Fill the bathtub with water, and steep it for five minutes, before you go in.”
“Okay! Thank you, boss! Thank you, boss!”
Lu Zhan smiled immediately. Taking the ointment respectfully, and carrying it carefully, he quickly sneaked into the opposite suite to bathe.
“Boss, you must be tired. Let me ma.s.sage your shoulders.”
Peng Haitao sneaked in like a thief. He stood behind Ding Ning, ma.s.saging and gently hitting Ding Ning’s back with his fists.
“Boss, are your legs sore? Let me gently hit them with my fists.”
“Boss, are you hungry? Let me make you a bowl of instant noodles.”
“Boss, are you thirsty? Let me pour you a cup of tea.”
…
After a while, w.a.n.g Yang, Gong Qiang and the others who had discovered the secret, sneaked in, trying to please Ding Ning, who could not help smiling.
He gave one bag to each of them, asking them to wait in line. Suddenly, he realized Xiaoniu had not come yet, and he sighed, “Alas, this little guy is too honest and is very slow to respond.”
Shaking his head, he took the last bag to the bathroom, but he saw Xiaoniu and Feng Jun chatting freely in the bathtub, while standing.
“Xiaoniu, why didn’t you come to me?”
The water in the bathtub was becoming clean, as Feng Jun had nearly absorbed all its effects. Seeing this, Ding Ning asked Xiaoniu jokingly.
Xiaoniu smiled, blinked, and took the bag from Ding Ning’s hand unceremoniously. With a mischievous and cunning smile, he said,
“How can so many people bathe in the two bathtubs? Everyone wants to bathe first, so I will wait here. Anyway, I know you won’t leave me out. As soon as Feng Jun finishes bathing, it is my turn. Let those stupid guys wait in line, outside.”
Ding Ning. “…”
Feng Jun. “…”
Ding Ning was speechless, due to shock. He suddenly realized that Xiaoniu, who was considered honest and vulnerable, was also smart and cunning.
“Boss, don’t be fooled by his appearance. He is not as honest as he looks. In the army, this guy was the leader of our combat squad. Each time, it was he who came up with the strategies to operate our missions. He is very cunning.”
Feng Jun disclosed Xiaoniu’s background, impersonally.
Xiaoniu did not care about that and shouted, “We will bathe sooner or later. Our boss won’t treat anyone of us unfairly. It is not a big deal for me to bathe a little earlier.”
“Great!”
Ding Ning had never known that Xiaoniu had such an ability. Instantly, he changed his view of him, gave him the thumbs up sincerely, and praised him, “Great wisdom looks silly.”
Xiaoniu scratched his head and smiled. “Not as great as the boss.”
Ding Ning felt quite comfortable with his words. This was the highest level of flattery.
“Well, you guys keep bathing, but I have to leave. I need to attend cla.s.ses the next morning.”
Ding Ning found it was already late, and left with a greeting.
He planned to spend a night in their dormitory, but he never thought such a thing could happen.
Ding Ning returned to his courtyard in the western suburbs. He held the cute little maid in his arms and slept soundly, making the maid who had tried to have intercourse with him, complain silently.
The eco-simulation system, with its installation nearly finished, was in its debugging stage during these days. When he got up, his little maid had already cooked him breakfast.
He took the seeds of the dried herbs. He also communicated with Ling Fei, and learned that the certificate would be issued within these few days. The company’s decoration was also nearly finished, and even the restaurant on the top floor had been built. Everything was going according to plan.
After finishing the breakfast which had improved in quality, Ding Ning praised the little maid generously, and she smiled quite happily.
Originally, Chu Yunna wanted to cook for Ding Ning, and learned how to cook, but after trying it out, she found she really liked it. So, she was quite pleased when Ling Fei suggested that she should open a restaurant, and be the chef.
