“…Quite the questions you have there…” said Walter, amused by Gerald’s inquiries.
“I do hope you’ll answer them… This is very important to me,” replied Gerald in a serious tone as he bowed.
“Very well, then. My full name is Walter Zeman, and I’m the patriarch of this family, as well as this auction’s organizer. As for your second question, there’s simply a force field of essential qi around the island, just like the one around Mount Nimbus. With that said, Greendrake Island only becomes visible when I remove the force field during auctions,” explained Walter who had no real issue with Gerald’s questions. Honestly, even if he didn’t need Gerald’s help, he would’ve still answered those inquiries.
“…That’s it?” asked Gerald with a slightly raised brow.
“How complicated were you expecting it to be?” replied Walter with a chuckle.
“…Either way, now that my questions are answered, do tell me what the favor is, Uncle Zeman,” muttered Gerald as he straightened his back.
“Well… I need your help in saving a life,” said Walter as he crossed his arms while staring directly into Gerald’s eyes, a serious expression on his face.
Upon hearing that, Gerald couldn’t help but feel embarrassed as he sheepishly replied, “…Just so you know, I’m just a cultivator, Uncle Zeman… I have zero medical knowledge, so you’d probably be better off hiring a famous doctor…”
“Negative. Trust me when I say that you’re the only one capable of saving this person’s life,” said Walter as he shook his head.
“But of course! After all, once the young mistress is here, all I have to do is mobilize my Herculean Primordial Spirit to expel the cold poison from her body, right? Speaking of which, do know that I still haven’t fully understood my power yet, so there may be some side effects…” said Gerald with a nod. While he had never mobilized his essential qi to treat an injured person before, with Walter guiding him by his side, Gerald believed that he would be able to cure Walter’s daughter in the end.
Laughing in a slightly helpless tone, Walter then replied, “You’ve… misunderstood me, my friend… If that was all it took to cure her, then I would’ve just brought you over the second I saw you instead of spending an entire day observing you!”
“…Do elaborate,” said Gerald as he sipped on his tea.
“…Well… both of you need to undergo the interlocking of yin and yang… In simpler terms… You’ll… need to copulate with her…” muttered Walter, clearly embarrassed to have to say that…
