Chapter 399 Barrier
There is still a barrier between immortals and demons. They address Shen Yaoshi as "Master Shen" but do not ask for the Fox Emperor's favor.
Seeing that they were all good-natured, Zhang Tie got out of bed with his crutch and shouted, "We can't let them go. They're not the pharmacists of the True God Sect. They must be with the fox demons, infiltrating here to do something to us."
Shen Yao turned around and glared at him angrily: "Are you sick?"
Zhang Tie pointed at her and Tu Xiaoxiao's hands and said, "Look, look, she and the fox demon are definitely not innocent."
He spoke extremely harshly: "What a shameless fairy! You already have a husband and children, yet you still act like a demon, fickle and unfaithful."
"Slap! Bang!" Feng Yu couldn't hold back any longer. He gathered his spiritual energy and slapped Zhang Tieshan against the wall.
Zhang Tie fell to the ground, clutching his broken crutch, groaning in pain.
When he refused to let the Fox Emperor treat him, his good brothers kept quiet.
He was beaten, but his buddies still didn't say a word.
Among the onlookers, someone weakly murmured, "Good...good job."
"Yes, well done!" the crowd roared in agreement.
"This ungrateful wretch deserves a beating."
"Zhang Tie, if you don't want to get better, don't drag everyone down with you."
When there is a common interest, the masses will spontaneously unite to remove the obstacle.
"Zhang Tie, since you don't want help, then stop occupying positions in the wounded camp and get out."
"Get out of here with your brothers."
"Get out...get out..."
When disaster struck, Zhang Tie and his mute brothers all miraculously recovered from their throat ailments.
"It has nothing to do with us; it was all Zhang Tie's own doing."
"Yes, Pharmacist Shen, we never said we didn't want the Fox Emperor to treat us. It was Zhang Tie who stopped us from letting the Fox Emperor treat us."
Zhang Tie was still lying on the ground, unable to get up, his face ashen with rage: "You bunch of traitors...you..."
Shen Yao stared at them coldly for a long time, thinking of several ways to deal with the situation.
Rumors are a dangerous thing; if we really throw them out, it will discourage the soldiers who don't know the situation.
She felt it wasn't worth it to treat them; she was unwilling and didn't want to.
If it is incurable... things have come to this point. If it is incurable, there will probably be all sorts of rumors circulating, such as the fox demon bullying the wounded, or the wounded seeing through the fox demon's scheme.
This is extremely detrimental to the unity between immortals and demons.
Whether they are saved or not, Zhang Tie and his brothers will become a source of trouble.
At that moment, all she could think about was eliminating the threat completely.
She suddenly understood why Jiang Ming acted ruthlessly and decisively...
When you're in a high position, you have to consider the big picture in everything you do.
Whether Zhang Tie and his brothers were immortal cultivators or were injured while guarding the border is irrelevant.
From the moment they harbored disloyalty and voiced it, they were destined to become victims.
They are about to become the scaffolding for maintaining peace between immortals and demons.
All those who oppose the will of those in high positions and obstruct the direction of world development must die.
Faced with the pleas of the cultivators, Shen Yao forced a kind smile: "Everyone, please be quiet."
The wounded soldiers quickly quieted down, staring at her with wide eyes, their expressions filled with trepidation, awaiting her decision.
Ignoring Zhang Tie and his brothers, Shen Yao raised Tu Xiaoxiao's hand, which she was holding tightly, and said, "We will stay and treat everyone's injuries, but before we do, there are some things I need to explain."
What she said next moved Tu Xiaoxiao to tears.
"This Fox Emperor is my husband. He was originally living a life of luxury in the demon race, but he came to the immortal race for my sake and has been helping the immortal race guard the border for nearly ten years."
"Licheng was recaptured with his help. I think some of you must have fought alongside him. Do you acknowledge his contributions?"
"I acknowledge it!" In the wounded camp, cultivators who had fought alongside Tu Xiaoxiao repeatedly shouted in response, "I acknowledge it!"
"We admit it!"
"Of course we acknowledge it. The Fox Emperor has worked hard and made great contributions over the years, so we must acknowledge it."
On the second-floor corridor, a cultivator leaned on the railing and shouted, "Back then on the battlefield, I was almost killed by evil cultivators. It was the Fox Emperor who saved me. Fox Emperor, thank you!"
In the hall, a cultivator who had been healed said, "Me too. I was saved by the Fox Emperor on the battlefield back then, and today the Fox Emperor has saved me again, allowing my legs to grow back. Fox Emperor, thank you!"
"Fox Emperor, your heroic figure on the battlefield is unforgettable. I, Xiao Yu'er, admire you."
"Me too, Fox Emperor, I, Zhou Lin, admire you."
"Fox Emperor, regardless of people like Zhang Tie, I, Xiao Li, admire you."
The expressions of gratitude and admiration moved Tu Xiaoxiao, a fox demon known for her emotional manipulation, to tears.
His eyes were red, and he looked at Shen Yao with some shyness. He squeezed her hand, signaling her to hurry up and end the scene.
He also had moments of embarrassment. Shen Yao gave him a reassuring smile and then began to wrap things up: "It's good that everyone agrees. As long as you are willing to acknowledge it, all the hardships my husband has endured over the years for the peace between immortals and demons have been worth it."
"Please return to your positions. We will treat you one by one, just like before."
“However…” she said, pointing to Zhang Tie on the ground, “We absolutely dare not treat Zhang Tie and his so-called brothers, mainly because I’m afraid they’ll try to extort money from us.”
Several cultivators who had recovered walked over and said, "Pharmacist Shen, don't worry. We'll just throw these ungrateful bastards out."
“No need for that.” Shen Yao was really smart this time: “Since they’re afraid we’ll do something wrong, why don’t we ask the guards on patrol outside to help us take them to the clinic and let them wait for treatment there?”
Deng Hua, who had previously wanted to become sworn brothers with her, gave her a helping hand: "Pharmacist Shen is too kind. If it were me, why would I let him treat me? I would just throw him out to fend for himself."
When you can bring benefits to the masses, they will spontaneously praise you.
"Yes, Pharmacist Shen is too kind."
"In this world, there is still such a kind-hearted fairy. No wonder two such outstanding gentlemen fell in love with her."
"Yes, yes, the Fox Emperor even helped us fight the evil cultivators because of her." A female immortal covered her mouth and said with a smile, "If we're talking about merit, I think Pharmacist Shen's merit is even greater."
After another round of flattery, Shen Yao could no longer maintain her awkward smile: "Alright, alright, if we're talking about kindness, you are the kindest ones, risking your lives and suffering for your fellow clansmen."
She bowed to the cultivators who had volunteered to throw Zhang Tie out and said, "We won't delay the treatment. Please, brothers, help us call the city guards over, explain the situation, and ask them to go to the clinic."
"You're too kind, it's nothing." The cultivators returned the greeting with a bow and cheerfully went to call the city guards.
Shen Yao sent a message to Huo Die, asking him to come and take her granddaughter back, while she and the two peach blossoms continued to treat the wounded.
Soon a group of city guards arrived at the wounded camp. Led by enthusiastic locals, they "invited" Zhang Tie and his brothers to the clinic.
They are waiting in line for medical help from pharmacists, and they don't know how long they will have to wait.
At this point, the city guards took them to the clinic, which was essentially a shortcut, so Zhang Tie and his brothers didn't cause any trouble.
But Zhang Tie was not convinced.
As he was being helped out of the hall by the city guards, he turned back and cursed, "Bah! A bunch of cowardly bastards! I, Zhang Tie, am ashamed to be related to you!"
