Chapter 6: Depilation and Scalp Washing

  The king's unusual behavior was naturally unknown to Li Meng, and he slept exceptionally soundly that night, not waking up until early the next morning.

  He instinctively let out a yawn, and as he became more alert, Li Meng gradually recalled the scene before he fell asleep. Suddenly, he sat up in bed with a start, and even broke out in cold sweat on his forehead.

  Yesterday's scene was really abnormal! After a full meal, he actually got drunk, and Li Mang hadn't even touched wine. The only explanation that makes sense is that the wild chicken had a problem!

  Without paying attention to anything else, Li Meng directly jumped up from the bed, and it was a flexible carp jumping, which he couldn't do normally. However, now he didn't care about it and checked his body in the first time. As a result, he found that his arm was covered with a layer of black mud at a glance. Not only his arm, but also all over his body, sticky and very uncomfortable.

  "What's going on?!" Li Mang's face was extremely ugly, after all, he was facing an unknown situation, and it was inevitable that he would be panicked.

  However, Li Meng quickly calmed down, because apart from being covered in a layer of black mud on his body, he had no other discomfort, and his spirit was better than ever before. At the same time, he also felt that his strength today was particularly great.

  "Just now I was jumping off the bed with a carp? What a cool memory......" Li Meng thought back to the scene just now, his expression was inexplicably strange.

  "Could it be... this is shaving and washing one's hair?"

  After all, he had been in Yan Huang for more than half a year, and his understanding was beyond that of ordinary people. Li Mang quickly thought of the reason why this black mud appeared on his body, and the panic on his face gradually turned into joy.

  In ancient medicine, there is a saying that when people eat grains and miscellaneous grains, it is inevitable that there will be impurities in the body, which modern medicine also confirms. It is also said that if one can take spiritual pills and wonderful medicines, the impurities in the body can be eliminated, achieving the effect of cleansing dust and dirt, and transforming bones, this is what is called "shedding hair and washing marrow".

  "I didn't get to eat any miraculous medicine, the problem lies with that wild chicken from yesterday, could it be that the wild chicken is already a spiritual being?" Li Mang boldly guessed.

  Yesterday, he was enchanted by the deliciousness of the stewed chicken, but didn't feel deeply moved. Now that he thinks back on it, however, he still remembers the warm and cozy feeling in his body after drinking the stew broth, which is extremely comfortable. This is surprisingly similar to the effects of taking a legendary elixir or magical medicine. Thus, Li Mang's guess was not reckless.

  His body was really sticky and uncomfortable. Li Meng thought about these things randomly while he had already arrived at the bathroom, adjusted the warm water and started taking a bath.

  He had injuries on his body, the previous burns from the fire hadn't fully healed yet, and yesterday he was pecked and scratched by a wild chicken. Li Mang originally intended to be more careful, not letting the water flow touch his wounds to avoid an outbreak.

  He was soon stunned to find that the wound he had been caught yesterday had already scabbed over, and the burn from a week ago didn't even leave a scar.

  This is indeed the effect of the divine medicine, but before yesterday, the burn still had shallow scars left behind. However, overnight, it has completely disappeared, which is truly unbelievable. It's not hard to imagine that this is a manifestation of his receiving the treatment of washing his marrow and cutting his hair.

  After a refreshing bath, Li Meng finally felt comfortable, as if all the pores on his body were breathing, and his spirit was better than ever.

  However, when he saw his bald head in the mirror, Li Mang could only respond with a bitter smile. This hair was flammable and had been burned to ashes at the first moment it fell into the sea of fire that day. Coupled with minor burns on the scalp, not a single hair has grown back even after seven days have passed!

  Dressed neatly, with a sun hat on his head covering his baldness, Li Mang looked at himself in the mirror and nodded in satisfaction.

  "Lee Mong Lee Mong!"

  Just then, a little brat's cry came from outside the courtyard.

  Li Mang's eyebrows locked lightly, this time being burned although the little kid wasn't intentionally messing with him, but setting fires was indeed the little kid's fault. When he was attacked by Old Man Cao, the kid also hid behind him, and that's how Li Mang suffered an unjust disaster.

  It's impossible for Li Meng to not feel angry in his heart!

  But fortunately, he obtained the "Qí Yì Shān Hǎi Jīng" in the sea of fire. Moreover, Xiaō Pì Hái was only an eight-year-old child who had been mentally challenged since childhood, so Li Mǎng sympathized with him and couldn't bring himself to harbor resentment towards him now.

  "Coming!" Li Meng responded with a sound, walked out and saw that Xiao Tian was waiting at the door with eager eyes.

  "Li Meng, you're really better!" Seeing Li Meng, the little kid's face suddenly burst into a smile, but there was still a hint of guilt in his eyes.

  Although he was born with intellectual disability, after years of treatment by Yan Huang, he has recovered the intelligence of a 4 or 5 year old child. Later, it was learned that Li Meng was seriously injured because of him and almost died, the little kid was also very anxious.

  "Little brat, what brings you looking for me?" Li Meng asked, ruffling his hair.

  "No big deal, just looking for you to have breakfast!" The little kid said with a grin.

  "Never mind, I'm actually a bit hungry..." Li Meng closed the gate of his courtyard and then headed to the cafeteria on the right side with Xiao Tian.

  As they walked, the little kid's mouth naturally couldn't stop moving, and without waiting for Li Meng to respond, he chattered on about all the interesting things that had happened in the Huangdi courtyard these past few days, his face full of childlike innocence. Although Li Meng was helpless, he didn't interrupt him.

  "Li Meng, did you hear the dog barking last night?" The little kid asked excitedly with a big smile on his face.

  "What's with the dog barking?" Li Meng's face turned strange upon hearing this. In this grand courtyard of Huang, only Gui Yi was known to raise dogs... Yesterday, Da Wang had eaten quite a few wild chickens, could something unexpected have happened? His heart skipped a beat, but on the surface, he merely asked curiously: "What dog barking?"

  Although he did it secretly yesterday, there are cameras everywhere in the Huangdi Courtyard. If Gui Yi checks the surveillance after the incident, this matter will be hard to conceal. Now Li Meng can only pray that nothing happens to Da Wang, and his guilt is secondary; Gui Yi might even take his life!

  "Grandma Snake said that the big king is coming, and it barked 'wang wang wang' for an entire night, so everyone couldn't sleep!" The little kid laughed happily, not getting angry even though he was scolded before bedtime. After all, his physical strength was better than others, so one sleepless night wouldn't be a big deal. As for why he was happy, actually he wasn't very clear what it was, but just felt that this thing was quite interesting.

  "Is that so......" Li Meng's face stiffened, his wild goose wasn't **, how could the great king be **? I'm going to get it, this is unreasonable! But he naturally didn't dare say this out loud, otherwise this matter would spread like wildfire throughout the courtyard.

  However, regarding the king's situation, he was still very anxious. Although he used the king to test the wild chicken with a black belly, he didn't hope that the king would really get into trouble. Li Mang was just black-bellied, but his heart wasn't entirely black. Then he hastily asked: "Is the king all right?"

  "That black dog is now jumping around happily everywhere!" The little brat said with a pout.

  Li Mang was speechless, but his heart, which had been lifted up all this time, could finally be put at ease. As long as the king was safe, everything would be alright.

  Between words, the two had already arrived at the cafeteria. The wooden house, wooden table and chairs were in an ancient style, not luxurious, but clean and quiet, unlike a cafeteria, it seemed more like a private club, absolutely high-end and elegant.

  "Damn it! That old black dog, Guiyuan, barked all night, disturbing my sleep. I've got acne all over my face now!"

  "Hmph... You're almost fifty and still have acne? Moreover, the king has been cooped up in the Huangyang Palace for many years, you should understand the king's physical suffering."

  "Is it your fleshly sorrow? Suffocating!"

  "Haha...... All have, all have."

  It's still early for breakfast, but there are already over a hundred people here. However, no one looks very spirited, and they all seem to be complaining about the king's wrongdoings. It's clear that everyone was tormented by the king last night, and Li Mang is filled with guilt.

  "If that black dog does it again next time, I'll poison it to death!" A big man wearing a nightgown stormed into the cafeteria, his eyes bloodshot, almost in a state of mental breakdown.

  Completely crazy or members of the Yan Huang clan who can't control their emotions are actually locked in independent houses deep within the courtyard, while those who can move freely around the Yan Huang mansion all have a certain level of rationality, they're just not mentally normal, and having a bad temper is inevitable.

  "Who do you want to poison!" However, an old man who was dressed in tattered clothes happened to be following behind him and overheard the Pajama Giant's cruel words. His eyes were bloodshot as he asked the question.

  This man is the ghost doctor. As for the origin of his name, some people say it's because of his medical skills, but others say it's because of his appearance, which is always tattered and worn out, or because of his face, which is dry and bloodless, like a ghost.

  The doctor's temper was indeed strange, but he wasn't usually so violent. He had been tense all night, especially sensitive to words related to poisoning. Now hearing the big man in the sleeping gown wanting to poison the king, combined with the king's 'poisoning' incident last night, the doctor was filled with rage, his eyes faintly reddening.

  Although the ghost doctor's spirit is not a problem, his temper is strange. If he provokes him, he will ruthlessly retaliate, and even has a very devilish side, which may also be one of the reasons why he is called the ghost doctor. The two words "ghost" and "doctor" are originally two different attributes, but they have been well integrated into one by him, who is both a doctor and a ghost.

  The big Han in the sleeping gown heard the stern voice behind him, his face suddenly changed, and the anger in his heart also inexplicably subsided a bit. He turned back with a smile: "Gui Yi, I was just joking, how could I have poisoned it when the black... king only eats what you feed it?"

  The demon doctor's martial arts skills may not be strong, but his medical skills are the most exquisite in Yan Huang, and he has made significant contributions to the treatment of mental illnesses caused by supernatural powers. He can be said to be the doctor of all members of Yan Huang, and his status is not ordinary. As long as someone's brain remains normal, they will not easily provoke him.

  However, what made the big Han in his pajamas stupid was that as soon as he finished speaking, the big king behind Guī Yī happily ran to Li Meng's side at the dinner table, wagging his tail and making a flattering expression.

  This scene not only made Da Han in his pajamas stare blankly, but also everyone else in the cafeteria, including Gui Yi, were all stunned.

  Li Mang's face was filled with shock and resentment, he really wanted to slap this black dog unconscious, wouldn't that just give it a chicken butt?! How could it put on a servant-like face, wasn't this the rhythm of being taken advantage of?! Didn't you see that Gui Yi had already cast a strange glance over here?!
