The Correct Way Of Feeding The Sick And Delicate Villain Chapter 41

Working Hard to Earn Money (1)

Even if life is hard, it must go on.

As Ding Yi mulled over her gloomy prospects, the days passed one by one.

After dealing with the West Street haunted house incident, Ding Yi returned to her normal (boring) child raising mode and experienced a few uneventful and languid days.

Ding Yi sat, dispassionate, in her courtyard, chewing on pumpkin seeds. She looked towards the vibrant hint of spring just beyond her doorstep and her well organized house and expressed the banal sentiment of how time does indeed fly.

The house had already washed away its reputation of being haunted. After the events at Liu manor were revealed to the public and the vengeful spirit eliminated, the dreadful West Street wasn’t so dreaded anymore. Gradually, people moved into the surrounding homes, and as a result, Ding Yi had many new gossipy neighbors.

Sometimes, when she encountered some particularly talkative women, the bored Ding Yi could talk for an entire day whilst sitting under the banyan tree in front of her house.

As for why she was bored?

Without any system quests demanding her attention, the great system commanded her to use the free time to assuage Mu Yueshi’s psychological deficiencies and develop their bond. As a result, she was able to muddle along in the manner that she felt she was entitled to while waiting for the original plot to show itself.

It wasn’t as if she was completely wasting her life, however, as the responsibility of being the breadwinner was still on her shoulders.

And on the subject of breadwinning, her splendorous showing at the Liu manor deserved particular mention.

After she single handedly exterminated the malevolent evil plaguing the place, her deeds stirred up the entire Qiong city, earning her a great fame!

The higher-ups in the Mount Yuling Sect didn’t want the fact that one of their own had practiced forbidden arts to become known, and so they could only deal with the situation secretly.

In the process, they masked the existence of Yuankong Zhenren and his use of forbidden techniques, causing Ding Yi to reap all of the credit.

To her great surprise, she became known as an exorcist girl, one that had been confirmed by the Yuling Sect!

Ding Yi’s worth instantly increased manifold.

In the few years since, she was able to live… quite well due to her rumored exorcist skills.

Yes, that's right.

Ding Yi was now a reputed folk exorcist, allowing her to earn enough to comfortably raise Mu Yueshi.

It was then that Ding Yi realized the heartfelt consideration that the system put into forcing her to choose the True Sight skill.

It’s so touching. As it turned out, the daddy system was caring for newbies in his own cold, special way all along!

The system was not moved by her praise, replying coldly: Then you should hurry up and help the target form an upstanding morality. Your raising progress has not updated for a while now.

Ding Yi spat out a mouthful of pumpkin seed shells and said lazily:

Take it easy, there’s no hurry. Isn’t the boss growing up pretty well? He’s getting good grades, has good manners, is obedient, and obeys the law. He hasn’t even gotten into a single fight and is growing quite soundly. Attempting to take shortcuts is a no-no! Boss, your result-oriented way of thought is misguided when it comes to childcare.

System: …

It felt that its brief moment of mercy earlier was misplaced. After having no pressure on her livelihood, its host was becoming more and more lazy!

As Ding Yi chatted with the system, a person arrived at her doorstep.

Ho, a job’s here.

Ding Yi calmly closed the chat box in her mind, leisurely put away her pumpkin seeds, and went to greet her guest with her practiced business smile.

It was an opulently dressed madam. Her expression was aggrieved as she cried to Ding Yi: “Miss Transcendent Ding, could you please examine my son for any signs of possession? He’s been feverish and plagued by nightmares for the past few days. Oh, the humanity! He’s become as thin as a reed.”

Ding Yi felt goosebumps at the title Miss Transcendent, but every time she would try to explain, the other party would have none of it, and so the nickname stuck.

How tiresome.

She looked towards the approximately two year old child upon the madam’s bosom. The red-faced, unconscious child was suffering from shortness of breath and had purplish lips. It was obvious that… it was poison.

Ding Yi was exasperated. This wasn’t the first time this had happened, but it seemed like wealthy people didn’t like to use their brains and would rather push the blame onto the supernatural?

Your precious son’s illness is due to poison, madam, not ghosts!

But to her great annoyance, every time Ding Yi wanted to explain, nobody would believe her. Instead, they would rather hysterically give her more money to work her magic. They would say that they were willing to give any amount of money as long as Ding Yi was able to exorcise the ghost!

…It was pointless arguing with people who held ghosts in their hearts.

Ding Yi put on a cryptic expression and lied through her teeth: “Madam, your son’s forehead is stained in darkness, a sign that he’s possessed by a minor ghost. You should place this exorcising talisman at the head of your son’s bed. Also, here’s a packet of soul restoring powder. You should divide the portion into three and let your son take it with warm water every six hours, and then your son will be alright.”

Three doses a day. Otherwise, the antidote and fever medicine would lose its potency!

The madam was so thankful as she received the talisman and medicine packet: “Yes! Of course! I’ve remembered it, thank you Miss Transcendent Ding for working your magic!”

After receiving the items, the wealthy madam was overwhelmed with joy and gratefully handed over the payment for the magic treatment. Ding Yi, still wearing her cryptic expression, nonchalantly accepted the hefty payment envelope.
