Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor

He thought that his mother would be thrilled to learn that he could now stand on his own two feet and even provide for so many people.

When the small beggars inside the house heard Hao'er's voice, they ran out and surrounded him. "What good food do we have today?"

"Do we have some meat today?"

"Come over," Hao'er shouted as he approached the table, taking food from his cosmos sack.

The small beggars stood there watching him take food from the small bag and place it on the table. Their eyes flickered, especially those of the older beggars who were staring intently at Hao'er's bag.

"You can eat first. I'm going to go inside and have a cup of water." Hao'er told them, leaving the food on the table and heading inside.

He had his own room. Once he was inside, he stood on a chair to pour himself a cup of water. As he was about to take a drink, he paused as he noticed an unusual smell coming from the water.

He sniffed the water again, thinking he might have been mistaken. Was the water drugged? Who did it? He thought dazedly.

Having been taught to identify various medicines by his mother in Pill King Valley, he was able to tell right away that the water contained a muscle-paralysing powder.

His mother had modified his physique to the point where even poison could no longer harm him. After living on his own for a few days, he knew that he needed to figure everything out, understand everything, and not be careless.

So he decided to play along, hoping to find out who was trying to harm him.

Outside, the small beggars happily devoured the food. The older ones occasionally looked towards Hao'er's room, their hands trembling slightly due to nervousness.

When they heard the sound of the cup breaking and hitting the ground, they put down their food and ran inside quickly.

When they saw Hao'er lying on the ground, cold sweat dripping down his face, and struggling to sit up, the smallest girl among them rushed forward to help him up. "What's wrong?"

Leaning on the little girl, Hao'er managed to say, "I... I suddenly lost my strength."

"Ah? How could this happen?" The little girl asked worriedly, "Do you feel any pain?"

"The drug... the drug has worked!" One of the older beggars suddenly said excitedly.

When the younger children heard him say this, they stopped and looked at him with shocked faces. "What are you saying?"

"Grab his bag! It has a lot of money and treasures!" Those few older beggars said, suddenly pushing the smallest girl aside and lunging for the plain small bag that Hao'er had tied around his waist.

"Ughhh!"

The girl was pushed aside. She landed on the cup shards, and her hand immediately started to bleed. She sobbed and cried, but she stood up and stepped forward to protect Hao'er, saying, "Don't grab his things, don't grab his things."

To her, this little beggar, who was the same age as her, had protected and saved her life. Without him, those two men would have killed her a long time ago. Also, for the past few days, he had been bringing her tasty food. So, she couldn't stand to see other people pick on him or snatch his things.
