208: Chapter 202 Let You Taste the Feeling of Being Disabled_1 208: Chapter 202 Let You Taste the Feeling of Being Disabled_1 Lu Chuan went to fetch so spring-water, then stayed behind to chat with Zhu’er for a while.
This ti, the two of them didn’t talk about martial arts, but rather discussed the matter of Zhu’er’s limp.
Lu Chuan spent a long ti offering psychological guidance to Zhu’er, telling her not to dwell on such matters.
“One should learn to recognize their strengths.
If you only fixate on your flaws, you’ll live in misery your entire life.”
For the first ti, Zhu’er opened up and talked about this issue with soone else, and she felt much better after their conversation.
At the sa ti, she truly started to regard Lu Chuan as a good friend, as those deep, heartfelt matters are only shared between close friends.
Seeing that it was about ti, Lu Chuan wrapped up their chat and left the place.
Zhu’er got up, feeling fully content, and her steps carried a new sense of confidence.
She licked her lips, recalling the sensation of today’s mouth-to-mouth resuscitation from Lu Chuan, and suddenly chuckled, then started hopping and skipping joyfully, even humming a little tune.
Lu Chuan returned to the dical clinic, prepared the dicine, and had Suzumiya Ichikazu soak in it.
The next morning.
Lu Chuan was still in a ditative state.
Suzumiya Ichikazu, with a face full of excitent, ran over, “Big Brother Lu Chuan, Big Brother Lu Chuan!”
Lu Chuan opened his eyes and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Suzumiya Ichikazu said, “You have to check out the dicinal barrel!”
Lu Chuan imdiately got up and went to the room where the dicinal barrel was located.
Inside the barrel, mixed with various dicinal herbs, was a golden divine dragon swimming freely and joyously.
The presence of the golden divine dragon caused the dicine to reflect a golden glow, making the entire barrel shine dazzlingly.
And this golden divine dragon was none other than the dragon vein that had willingly entered Suzumiya Ichikazu’s body.
Looking at the dragon vein, Lu Chuan’s face showed excitent.
He then ford several seals with his hands, cast a few spells on his arm, and then subrged his arm into the dicinal barrel.
The golden divine dragon in the barrel, sensing Lu Chuan’s arm, not only did not avoid it but affectionately cozied up to it, wrapping around his arm.
After a while, the golden divine dragon directly burrowed into Lu Chuan’s arm and beca one with him.
Lu Chuan’s lips curled into a smile, thinking to himself how his True Dragon Destiny was truly extraordinary; everything related to dragons would feel close to him.
Absorbing this dragon vein was naturally a piece of cake.
He even suspected that the dragon vein had foreseen the future, knew that Suzumiya Ichikazu would et him, and that’s why it entered her body on its own initiative.
“Next, when I harness the power of the dragon vein, I can break through to the Advanced Foundation Building stage.
The power of this dragon vein is imnsely strong, and it might even propel to the peak of Advanced Foundation Building in one go.”
If that were the case, when he later went to the Island Country and retrieved the remaining three dragon veins, he could directly advance to the Golden Core Realm.
Suzumiya Ichikazu looked at Lu Chuan curiously and asked, “Brother Lu Chuan, have you absorbed the dragon vein?”
Lu Chuan smiled and nodded, “It’s now within my body, all I need is the right opportunity, and I can use the power of the dragon vein to break through.”
He reached out to pat Suzumiya Ichikazu’s head and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, you’ve entrusted the dragon vein to , and I will certainly help you get rid of that old pervert Kitahara Sousuke so you won’t have to live in fear anymore.”
Suzumiya Ichikazu nodded excitedly, “Yes!
Big Brother Lu Chuan, break through quickly, Ichikazu is starting to miss ho too!”
Lu Chuan humd in response, knowing that he definitely wouldn’t be able to break through today, as he had already made plans with Zhu’er to go to Yang City in search of dicinal herbs for her leg injury.
Yang City bordered Cloud City, and the Moon Natural Spring was located at the outskirts between the two cities.
Lu Chuan told Suzumiya Ichikazu that he would be going to Yang City, and then set off for the Moon Natural Spring.
By the ti he arrived, he found that Zhu’er was already there waiting.
Zhu’er wore a light pink, thin silk long dress today with her hair cascading down, giving her the air of a fairy descending to earth.
What caught Lu Chuan off-guard was that Zhu’er had put on lipstick today.
Seeing Lu Chuan approach, Zhu’er waved at him cheerfully.
Lu Chuan approached Zhu’er and complinted with a smile, “You look very beautiful today.”
Zhu’er’s face reddened, and she lowered her head shyly, “Thank you.”
Lu Chuan thought to himself that gentle won always seem so lovable—he reckoned if it were Ning Xin who received the complint, her tail would probably wag up to the sky.
“Let’s go.”
The two didn’t waste any ti and headed towards Yang City together.
On the streets of Yang City, Lu Chuan and Zhu’er walked side by side.
Zhu’er’s exceptional beauty attracted many gazes.
However, many also noticed Zhu’er’s limp and began whispering among themselves.
“This woman is really pretty, but it’s a pity she’s la.
Her walk just lacks all grace.”
“You’re right.
If I were just judging her body and face, I’d give her a ten, but with the limp, it drops to a six.
No matter how good-looking she is, who would want to marry soone with a disability?”
“With her looks, she could even ride in a wheelchair and I’d still find her pleasing to the eye, but her limping gait just makes it hard to watch.”
…
Zhu’er, upon hearing the surrounding chatter, unconsciously hung her head and dared not et the glances thrown her way.
Lu Chuan saw this and, smiling, said, “Don’t mind their opinions.
Live for yourself, not to beco what they want you to be.”
Upon hearing this, the anxious expression on Zhu’er’s face eased sowhat, and she nodded at Lu Chuan.
At that mont, a drunken man ca over, looking Zhu’er up and down with a lecherous grin, and said, “Girl, you look pretty good, too bad you’re disabled, surely no one would fancy you, right?
How about this, you pay thirty thousand yuan, and I’ll marry you.
How about that?”
Zhu’er, when outside, feared encountering such people the most.
Her long-standing inferiority complex made her just want to quickly escape and find a place with no one around to recover her composure.
“I’m…
I’m sorry, I don’t have any such thoughts.” After speaking, she tried to leave.
The drunkard quickly blocked her way and continued, “What’s the matter, is thirty thousand too much for ?
Let tell you, you need to be aware of your place in life.
People like you with disabilities either marry idiots or soone else disabled.
As a healthy man, marrying you would already be quite sothing.”
“There was a woman missing an arm in the neighborhood close to where I live.
Her family offered one hundred thousand to marry her, and I didn’t agree.
I’m asking for only thirty thousand from you who looks okay; that’s actually a big loss for .”
“I…
I don’t want to get married.
Please go find soone else.” Zhu’er’s face was filled with urgency, keen on avoiding such people.
Furthermore, the crowd nearby was watching the excitent, making her even more eager to flee from the spot.
Lu Chuan, seeing Zhu’er’s state, felt an inexplicable heartache.
After all, Zhu’er was a Transcendent Realm Level 9 skillful expert, yet her inner inferiority made her afraid even of a drunkard.
Seeing Zhu’er’s refusal, the drunk’s face beca furious as he cursed, “Damn it, you don’t know what’s good for you, do you?
Go ask around; with your disability, who would want you?
I’m giving you a chance and you don’t even appreciate it.”
“You people need to have a clear understanding of yourselves.
You’re disabled, no one will like you.
Everyone who sees people like you tries to avoid you at all costs.
Don’t be stuck-up and think of yourself as normal.”
“Co with .
I need to check thoroughly whether you have any other issues, and only if you don’t, I might marry you.”
After speaking, he reached out to grab Zhu’er’s arm.
Zhu’er dodged in a panic.
Lu Chuan blocked the drunkard with one hand and said coldly, “Who told you that no one likes a person with a physical disability?
Why is she not a normal person?”
The drunk glanced at Lu Chuan and cursed, “Disabled people are inferior!
What about it?
She’s a useless cripple, why are you standing up for her?
Are you brain-damaged too?”
Anger surged in Lu Chuan’s heart as he said coldly, “If you apologize to her now, I can let you off the hook.
My patience is limited, you’d better hurry.”
The drunkard scoffed, “Apologize to a cripple?
Dream on!
These disabled people deserve to be discriminated against, it’s their fault for being imperfect.
It’s their fault for being laughed at!”
Without another word, Lu Chuan punched the drunkard in the face.
The drunkard fell to the ground, glaring at Lu Chuan furiously, and cursed, “Are you freaking sick?
I was cursing this disabled person, not you.
Why did you hit ?”
Lu Chuan snorted coldly and said, “In my eyes, there are only cultured people and uncultured people.
When I co across soone as uncouth as you, I feel I must act!”
“You disdain disabled people, don’t you?
Then I’ll let you taste what it’s like to be disabled yourself!”
Having said this, Lu Chuan stepped fiercely on the drunkard’s knee, shattering it.
The drunkard wailed in agony.
From that point on, he would have to live his life in a wheelchair.
Lu Chuan walked back to Zhu’er and took her hand, “Let’s go.”
Zhu’er was still in a daze.
Since she had injured her foot, no one had ever stood up for her against others’ mockery.
Whether it was her fellow disciples or people from the sect, everyone kept their distance, and so even secretly laughed at her behind her back.
So whenever she faced such situations, she always endured silently; after all, she really was disabled, and what people said wasn’t wrong.
But today, Lu Chuan had given her a warmth she had never felt before.
Lu Chuan, holding her hand, led the way, and she followed subconsciously, watching his back, as a certain emotion began to grow quietly in her heart.
Soon, the two of them arrived at a less crowded street.
Lu Chuan stopped, turned around to look at Zhu’er, and said, “Next ti you encounter such discrimination, don’t be cowardly.
Demand an apology imdiately, and if they don’t apologize, then take action.
You’re a Transcendent Realm Level 9 skillful expert, and as long as you show your strength, let’s see who still dares to speak to you like that.”
Seeing the indignant look on Lu Chuan, Zhu’er couldn’t help but start to laugh.
Puzzled, Lu Chuan asked, “I’m teaching you how not to be bullied by others.
What are you laughing at?”
Zhu’er, with a mysterious smile, then obediently nodded and said, “Alright, I get it.
I’ll listen to you.
If I encounter such people in the future, I’ll definitely teach them a lesson.”
“That’s more like it.
If you don’t fight back, those who bully you will only beco more nurous,” Lu Chuan said, with a look of ‘a teachable child’ on his face.
“The dicine market is just ahead; let’s go buy the dicinal herbs quickly.”
The two arrived at the dicine market.
“To heal your foot injury, we need quite a few Tongyou Herbs.
Though this herb is not common, it’s usually available in any dicine market.
This herb can enhance the toughness of muscles and bones, and many martial artists like to eat it raw,” explained Lu Chuan.
After spending half the day at the dicine market, they were surprised to find that the Tongyou Herbs had all been bought up.
They ca to the last herbal dicine shop.
“Do you have any Tongyou Herbs?” he asked the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper shook his head and pointed to a man who was bagging nearby, saying, “He bought up all the Tongyou Herbs.”
Lu Chuan turned to look at the man, saw the large bag full of Tongyou Herbs in his hand, and asked, “Brother, could you sell so of those Tongyou Herbs to us?”
The man glanced at Lu Chuan and said, “Sorry, but our Polar Light Martial Arts Hall is going to compete with the Zhao Family Martial Arts Hall today.
I’ve heard that the Zhao Family Martial Arts Hall has invited a very strong reinforcent, and our Polar Light Martial Arts Hall is likely to lose.
I need to get these Tongyou Herbs to our fellow disciples urgently, so I really am sorry.”
Hearing this, Lu Chuan quickly said, “How about this: I can be a reinforcent for your martial arts hall, and if I help you win the competition, you just give so of these Tongyou Herbs.
How’s that?”
After sizing up Lu Chuan and taking a look at Zhu’er beside him, the man laughed and shook his head, “Better not.
Our martial arts hall can afford to lose, but we absolutely cannot beco a laughing stock.”
