Chapter 366 365: Too Audacious

'He's actually doing it?'

'Before, I couldn't believe what Mu Lin said. I thought he was just trying to comfort me.'

'Now, I believe him completely. He's just too incredible!'

Mu Lin got busy again. This time he was much faster than before, and in no time, he came over carrying a basin of a greenish paste.

The sight of it made Jiang Lan feel a little nauseous.

"This is... it?"

"Yep, this is it. What do you think?"

"It's so disgusting!" Jiang Lan exclaimed.

"It's supposed to be disgusting. If it wasn't, we'd have a real problem," Mu Lin said, scooping up a bit of the greenish mud with a porcelain spoon and placing it on Luo Wanqing's face.

Then he used the spoon to spread the mud out bit by bit, smoothing it evenly, just like applying plaster.

After spreading it evenly, Mu Lin handed the rest to Jiang Lan. "You can put some on, too. It's good for your skin."

Jiang Lan was stunned. 'This stuff can improve my complexion?!'

But she didn't dare disbelieve Mu Lin, so she quickly started applying it to her own face in front of a mirror.

As soon as she started, she felt the difference between her and Mu Lin. His application was incredibly smooth, while hers was very clumsy.

"This is... Can you help me apply it?"

Mu Lin said coldly, "Do it yourself. I don't have time!"

At that moment, he was repeatedly rubbing Luo Wanqing's body, making Jiang Lan's eyes go wide.

'Is this appropriate? I'm over here applying this paste, and you're secretly getting up to something?'

'Getting handsy with the young miss?'

'Is this appropriate?'

"What are you doing?"

"Your young miss has many injuries all over her body. Her meridians, cartilage, and muscles all have contusions. These are wounds that medicine alone can't completely heal. What do you think I'm doing?"

It dawned on Jiang Lan. "I understand. I'm sorry."

For Mu Lin, this was the truly challenging part.

There were too many difficult-to-treat spots all over Luo Wanqing's body. It gave Mu Lin a major headache.

He could only reconnect them little by little. By the latter half of the night, Jiang Lan had already woken up from a nap, and Mu Lin still wasn't finished.

Any trace of Jiang Lan's dislike for Mu Lin had long since vanished, replaced by a deep sense of gratitude.

Luo Wanqing was now dressed again. Mu Lin's finger was pressed to the point between her eyebrows as he used his True Qi to accelerate her healing process.

Ngh...

Luo Wanqing suddenly let out a soft groan and slowly opened her eyes.

"Mr. Mu!"

She squinted, saw the person next to her had a layer of something greenish on their face, and cried out in alarm.

Jiang Lan then realized she had fallen asleep with that gunk on her face. She quickly called out, "Miss, it's me, Jiang Lan!"

Hearing that it was Jiang Lan, Luo Wanqing calmed down a little, but she was still scared to death.

"How long was I asleep..." Luo Wanqing felt a wave of weakness wash over her body, and a powerful sense of hunger came from her stomach.

Jiang Lan said, "It's been almost twenty hours since Mr. Mu rescued you. Mr. Mu has been taking care of you this whole time, without a moment's rest!"

Luo Wanqing looked at Mu Lin, moved. "Mr. Mu, thank you!"

Mu Lin smiled faintly. "You're welcome. We're friends. There's no need to be so worked up over certain things."

"Then what about Third Young Master Feng?" Luo Wanqing asked.

Mu Lin replied, "He's dead. All of his men are dead. And that Master Mingjing is dead, too."

Luo Wanqing's mouth fell slightly open in astonishment. "Mr. Mu, why? You killed so many people?! Master Mingjing is from the Celestial Dragon Temple. Do you have any idea what the consequences of killing him are?"

"It's the same with Third Young Master Feng. He's connected to the entire Feng Family! Heaven knows how many ways the Feng Family has to get revenge!"

Mu Lin said, "Revenge is revenge. I'm not afraid. They can bring it on."

Luo Wanqing said, "Sigh, my face is already ruined. For you to pay such a huge price for me, Mr. Mu, it really isn't worth it."

Mu Lin tilted his head. "Huh? Miss Luo, what are you talking about? I saved you simply out of a doctor's duty to heal the sick and save the dying. I don't want anything else."

Luo Wanqing opened her mouth, but she could only believe him. Mu Lin's eyes were full of sincerity; he truly had no other intentions.

For some reason, she felt a little disappointed. 'But then again,' she thought, 'I'm just an ugly woman with a ruined face now, so it doesn't matter.'

'I'll probably be alone for the rest of my life.'

Back then, to avoid being harassed by Feng Gaoyu, she had angrily disfigured herself, wanting only to preserve her innocence.

Now that Mu Lin had helped her get revenge, she had no other lingering attachments.

Mu Lin said, "Jiang Lan, take your miss to remove the medicine."

Jiang Lan got up. She also had the paste on her own face and was equally excited to see what she would look like after it was removed.

She said, "Miss, let's go to the washroom. I'll help you take the paste off your face."

'Paste?' Luo Wanqing reached up and touched her face. It felt incredibly rough, clearly not her own skin.

It seemed there was a layer of something on it. She figured it must be that paste.

'What could it do?'

Jiang Lan filled a basin with warm water, then had Luo Wanqing soak her face in it. She helped Luo Wanqing by gently scrubbing to wash the paste away.

"Miss, you can look up now!"

Luo Wanqing looked up and saw her reflection in the mirror. She could hardly believe her own appearance.

'So beautiful!'

Her skin was countless times better than before; so much so that Luo Wanqing herself didn't know what had just happened.

Jiang Lan helped dry Luo Wanqing's face. Luo Wanqing looked at her reflection again and again, completely mesmerized.

'It's simply amazing.'

Her beauty had already been famous, but now it was even more stunning.

But she no longer planned to be so high-profile.

'Being an ordinary woman is good enough.'

Jiang Lan also washed the paste off herself and discovered that her own aura had improved significantly.

'Mu Lin's paste is practically a Divine Medicine!'

Overcome with excitement, Luo Wanqing ran to Mu Lin and said, "Mr. Mu, thank you so much! You've saved me several times in a row. I really don't know how I can ever repay you!"

Mu Lin said, "We're friends, why talk about repayment?"

As they were speaking, Mu Lin's phone rang. It was Yun Cheng on the other end:

"Mr. Mu, where are you? I need to report to you!"

So Mu Lin told him the location.

Soon, Yun Cheng and the others arrived, all looking exhausted. It seemed they had been busy all night.

The team members were extremely respectful towards Mu Lin, so much so that he felt a little uncomfortable.

He still preferred the wild and unruly members of the Military Suppression Bureau. These meek and deferential types were really quite boring.

"Mr. Mu, we worked all night and have collected all the bodies."

"The two Grandmaster experts from the Feng Family were both fugitives with blood on their hands. The Military Suppression Bureau will continue to investigate deeply. As for Monk Mingjing's body, we've performed an autopsy and placed it in the morgue to await collection by someone from the Celestial Dragon Temple."

"Feng Gaoyu's body is in the morgue. After performing an autopsy, we weren't sure what to do with it."

"If we send it back to the Feng Family, they will definitely come looking for trouble. Mr. Mu, can you handle that?"

Mu Lin said, "Send it back."

"Then the Feng Family will inevitably retaliate wildly against you. Is that also okay?" Yun Cheng pressed.

Mu Lin chuckled. "Listen to you. Have you ever seen me afraid of anyone? I've made it this far, haven't I?"

His words made everyone exchange glances, a chill running down their spines.

'Getting too close to Mu Lin is just too dangerous. We can't do that.'

'Keeping our distance is important.'

"Everyone, you've been a great help. Thank you all!" Mu Lin gave a slight bow to the group, his tone very sincere.

This, in turn, made everyone feel quite embarrassed.

"Not at all, not at all. Without you, Mr. Mu, how could we have cracked such a big case?"

Mu Lin smiled faintly and said no more.

After seeing Yun Cheng and his men off, Luo Wanqing said, "Mr. Mu, this is truly terrifying. That's the Feng Family we're talking about! Look at all you've done... I can't handle any of this."

Mu Lin waved his hand and smiled. "If you can't handle it, then don't. I'll block all these problems for you. Won't that solve everything?"

"But!" Luo Wanqing still wanted to say something.

"Okay?" Mu Lin looked at Luo Wanqing and said with great composure.

Luo Wanqing's heart suddenly fluttered in a panic. She hurriedly said, "Okay! Okay!"

Remembering how the injuries on her body were treated, her face grew even redder. She walked away unsteadily.

"Mr. Mu, what's wrong with my miss? Is she still not fully healed?" Jiang Lan asked with concern, shaking Mu Lin's arm. Mu Lin chuckled and said, "Your miss is perfectly fine. Don't worry about her!"

With that, he turned to leave. "Contact me if anything comes up. I'll be right over."

Jiang Lan nodded hurriedly. "Yes, of course!"
