Chapter 139: Ran into a Real Tough Cookie

Such a huge tigress! Chu Tian muttered to himself. After reverting to her true form, Barbara was a Tier 9 Saber-toothed Tiger.

Standing several meters tall with a black-and-white coat and saber-like fangs, Barbara would have been a rather imposing Tier 9 magical beast had she not been a bit too plump. But right now, within her bloated frame, only the golden character "King" on her forehead retained a slight semblance of the monarch of all beasts.

Without any further nonsense, Chu Tian anesthetized Barbara using her own dizziness scroll and began the liposuction procedure.

"Ah? Big Sister Barbara, aren't you knocked out?" Just as Chu Tian was about to make the incision, he suddenly noticed that Barbara still had her eyes open. "Was the dizziness scroll you gave me useless? Give me a few more to try!"

"No need to try anymore!" Barbara shook her head and said, "I am a Tier 9 magical beast, and I also possess the bloodline of the Golden Beast Clan, which grants me natural resistance to negative magic!"

"It's fine even without dizziness magic, but it's going to hurt a lot." Chu Tian put away the other scrolls and asked, "Can you endure it?"

"Go ahead, I should be able to bear it!" Barbara gritted her teeth, her tiger claws digging fiercely into the ground.

"For the sake of beauty, women really are capable of anything," Chu Tian muttered to himself. He then sliced a small opening in Barbara's fat belly and inserted a hollow crystal tube. "Today, I'll make you slimmer first. We'll take care of the rest tomorrow."

There was no liposuction machine here, so Chu Tian had to push out the fat with his own hands. While doing so, he asked, "Big Sister, where is your home?"

"My home is far from here, at Barbara Castle on the east of the Western Coast," Barbara said, enduring the intense pain.

"Barbara Castle?" Chu Tian curled his lip. A castle actually named after this tigress—it seemed Barbara was truly wealthy.

"That castle was built for me by my husband when we got married." Large, bean-sized cold sweat began to roll down Barbara's forehead, and her teeth ground audibly, but she still said with bitter resentment, "Who would have thought that the old bastard would now..."

Barbara seemed to have forgotten the excruciating pain and started cursing her unfaithful husband, while Chu Tian leisurely went about his work.

Treating an illness over two days instead of one is the foolproof method for a doctor to make money. Amidst Barbara's nagging and Chu Tian's intentional dragging of feet, the first day passed.

Although Chu Tian had prolonged the treatment time, the young master Chu still possessed medical ethics. At least, he used the medicine Barbara brought in full doses. After swallowing a blessing pill from a Tier 9 Holy Priest, Barbara's body, weakened by the liposuction, recovered immediately.

Seeing that she was visibly a size slimmer, Barbara didn't say a second word and immediately transferred one hundred thousand gold coins into Chu Tian's crystal card.

Thus, once Chu Tian was fully satisfied and finally restored Barbara to her youthful beauty, the gold coins on his colorless crystal card had broken into eight figures.

"Oh, sweet mother of mine!" When Chu Tian walked out of the operating room with Barbara, Shark yelled from afar, "Come and look! The master has turned that fat hag into a great beauty!"

Amidst the surrounding crowd, Barbara's vanity was immensely satisfied. She took Julia's hand and said, "Oh, my dear sister Julia, I'm so envious of you for having such a good fiance. With him around, you'll never have to fear growing ugly for the rest of your life."

"Big Sister, Andy doesn't do cosmetic procedures for humans," Julia lowered her head and said with a blush.

During the surgeries these past few days, Julia had always acted as Chu Tian's assistant, so the wealthy Barbara naturally didn't treat her shabbily. Unclasping a necklace from her own neck, she forced it onto Julia's and said, "Don't you worry, if Andy bullies you, Big Sister will vent your anger! Remember, when dealing with men, the most important rule is to be ruthless! If he doesn't listen..."

Chu Tian listened in a cold sweat as Barbara tutored Julia on how to keep her husband in line, thinking to himself, "It seems I've stirred up trouble. If Barbara keeps teaching her like this, what if Julia really turns into a Tier 10 magical beast one day? Wouldn't I be completely dead?"

Fortunately, Julia grew too embarrassed by Barbara's words and ran to Chu Tian's side with a flushed face. "Big Sister, Andy and I aren't even married yet."

Instantly, Chu Tian felt relieved by the gentle and considerate Julia. However, he failed to notice that little Bai in Julia's arms was sucking on the small wine pouch around its neck while swaying its head and absorbing Barbara's experience...

"Barbara, get your ass out here!" A roar echoed through the entire city of Langton. "I know you're in this city! If you don't come out, I'll tear down the whole city!"

"Damn it, this fellow has chased me down!" Barbara's expression changed. She called out to Chu Tian, "Little brother, my enemy has arrived, I'm leaving first. Don't you ever say you know me!"

In the blink of an eye, Barbara vanished.

"Hehehe~~ How interesting!" Mofete, who had been squatting to the side playing with sand, suddenly burst into laughter. "Haha, back in the day, I tore down an entire city too. It felt so damn good!"

*Smack*—a slap landed on Mofete's head. Rock laughed and scolded, "You little brat, bragging again!"

Everyone, including Chu Tian, was amused by Mofete. The others laughed because Mofete was bragging, while young master Chu was laughing because it turned out even a Tier 10 magical beast had days when they were bullied.

*Boom*—the main gate of the mercenary group's headquarters was kicked off its hinges, almost hitting Mofete. A man in black strode in angrily, "Barbara, give me back my stuff!"

"What the hell are you shouting for?! Don't piss me off! I'm in a foul mood!" Mofete was already quite displeased from being mocked by everyone earlier, and now he had almost been crushed by the gate.

"Little bastard, you're courting death!" The man in black casually hurled a fireball at Mofete.

"Why are you bullying a child!" To everyone's surprise, Shark was the first to shield Mofete, shouting, "The master said adults aren't allowed to bully kids!"

*Boom!* Shark was sent flying by the fireball, but he immediately scrambled back up, rubbed his chest, picked up his large axe, and charged forward. "How dare you hit me?! I'll chop you up!"

"Shark, get back here!" Chu Tian called out to stop him.

"Master, he hit me..." Shark grievance-strickenly said.

"Take Mofete and go inside!" Chu Tian said to Shark with a serious expression. Since the newcomer could scare Barbara away, they must be a Tier 9 powerhouse. Shark and Mofete would only cause trouble here.

"Oh, I'm going in." Picking up Mofete, Shark entered the house, but Mofete was still yelling, "Let me go. I won't go in, I want to take down this boring bastard..."

Chu Tian sized up the newcomer and then grinned. It turned out this fellow was bald! Having been on the Fantasy Continent for over two years, this was the first time Chu Tian had ever encountered a bald person. "Mister, is something the matter?"

"Call Barbara out!" The bald man didn't even look at Chu Tian, instead scanning the courtyard in all directions.

"Barbara? I don't know any Barbara?" Chu Tian said with an unblinking face.

"Hmph! I sensed her aura in this city," the bald man pointed at Chu Tian, "and your aura is the strongest here!" Chu Tian looked around and said, "What aura? Why didn't I feel anything? If you don't believe me, search for yourself!"

The bald man closed his eyes and meticulously filtered the entire mercenary group headquarters with his magic. Then he pointed at Chu Tian and said, "Barbara must have just left! Tell me! Where did she go?!"

"I really don't know any Barbara," Chu Tian said, looking as sincere as humanly possible. "Oh, right. Just now, a very fat woman came to my place for a body shaping procedure, and then she left."

"That's her! Which direction did she go?"

"This... I didn't pay attention."

"Stop talking nonsense, Barbara..." The bald man was about to throw a tantrum when he noticed Chu Tian walking over with an astonished look, staring straight at the top of his head. "What are you looking at?!"

"Sigh!" Chu Tian shook his head and sighed, "I was just wondering, how could such a handsome gentleman end up bald!"

"You..." No matter where one was, baldness was always a taboo topic to be brought up by others.

"Mister! Being bald must be very painful, right?" Chu Tian widened his eyes and tempted him, "Ten thousand gold coins, and I'll make hair grow on your head!"

"You can make hair grow back?" The bald man instantly forgot what he had come for. "Five thousand gold coins, do it right now!"

"Deal!" Chu Tian waved his hand. "Please come inside! I need to prepare some things!"

The bald man went in, and then Chu Tian quietly instructed Rock, "Go catch a few stray dogs, any color of fur will do!"

——————————————————————————

Permanently treating baldness was a complicated task, but Chu Tian had no intention of completely curing the fellow who had kicked down his door.

Without even asking whether this guy was a human or a magical beast, and without any anesthetic, young master Chu simply sewed a few tufts of dog fur onto his scalp with a surgical needle. It was the simplest and crudest treatment Chu Tian had ever performed.

"Eh? Why are there so many colors?" The bald man said to Chu Tian with dissatisfaction. "I only want black hair!"

"Just black hair? That's no problem at all!" Chu Tian immediately yanked out the newly sewed-on dog fur, causing the customer to bare his teeth in agony.

"Stop yelling, growing hair hurts like this, just endure it for a bit." Chu Tian was once again taking advantage of the customer's lack of education.

After replacing all the fur with black dog fur this time, Chu Tian wiped his hands and handed over a mirror. "Take a look at yourself, how is it?"

"Not bad!" The customer nodded and asked again, "Do you really not know Barbara?"

"How many times do I have to tell you, I don't know any Barbara at all!" Chu Tian said while packing up his surgical tools. "Didn't you check for yourself? The person you're looking for is not in my house!"

"Hmph! Then I'll go look elsewhere!" With that, the customer stood up and prepared to walk out.

"Hey, mister, we agreed just now, five thousand gold..." Chu Tian wanted to remind the customer that he hadn't paid, when he was suddenly engulfed by a wave of lingering danger!

*Boom*—Chu Tian was sent flying with a single punch.

"Hahahahaha..." The customer roared with laughter and strode away. This master never knew the meaning of paying a bill!
