Chapter 56 Part 2
Su Chenyu’s expression shifted slightly, “How did Doctor Wu know I had a ticket for the Dream Cruise?”
Han Ye and Fan Xuan, sitting opposite him, didn’t interfere with his choice.
Su Chenyu looked at the two packets, then grabbed the pills.
His illness was a mystery, he couldn’t just be cured without knowing the cause.
From Wu Heng’s tone, it seemed related to the cruise.
Chen Zhao, seeing Su Chenyu take the pills, couldn’t contain his grin, a five-day luxury cruise, yes!
Su Chenyu then took out his phone and sent a message to his adopted brother, “My cruise ticket was booked by my brother, ask him to get one for Chen Zhao too.”
A confirmation message arrived shortly.
Su Chenyu then asked Han Ye to call Wu Heng on WeChat. Only a few of Wu Heng’s cured patients had his contact information, not Su Chenyu yet.
Wu Heng appeared on screen, wearing casual clothes, practicing the Nuo opera dance with a group of young men by the Nuo River.
Su Chenyu, his heart pounding, said, “Doctor Wu, would you like to join me on the Dream Cruise? I’ll buy you a ticket.”
Wu Heng, his body moving gracefully with the dance steps, replied, “I have Nuo opera practice every afternoon, I can’t miss it. You can live stream the cruise, I’ll keep an eye on you and warn you if anything happens.”
Su Chenyu, disappointed, could only give up, then immediately asked for leave from his counselor.
Somehow, the universities were very accommodating towards anything related to Wu Heng now, granting leaves of absence easily.
“His dancing isn’t that great, with the mask on, who can even tell it’s him?”
Wu Heng, hearing the whispers from some of the young men, ignored them and went to grab his bamboo water bottle under a tree.
Lai Jun, with a new ghost, stood under the tree, arms crossed, watching the practice. Seeing Wu Heng, he asked, ‘Wu Heng, why did you give your work to an outsider, a foreign ghost?’
Wu Heng asked in the underworld language, ‘You mean the Beijing Yin messenger 014 who came to escort Professor Zhao? You can’t operate across provinces, can you?’
Besides, that was Beijing, a small-town Yin messenger had no authority there. Although he was robbed by Chen Zhao, that was still the fourteenth ranked Yin messenger in North Beijing.
Lai Jun, looking at the number 198 on his lantern, couldn’t help but pout. He was eager for a promotion, he wanted to work in Beijing too.
‘In that case, since we’re closer to Southeast Asia, why don’t you apply for some overseas assignments?‘
Lai Jun’s eyes lit up. He had been diligently escorting souls to the underworld recently, even working overtime during the day, exhausted, but not as efficient in earning merit as Wu Heng’s referrals.
‘Let’s go!’ he snapped at the new ghost, who was hiding from the sun, ‘Time to move on, I need to ask my boss for an overseas assignment.’
As he led the ghost away, Lai Jun glanced at Wu Heng, he knew Wu Heng wasn’t straight.
Su Chenyu, with the excited Chen Zhao, arrived at the port, their taxi speeding, and boarded the Dream Cruise.
The cruise would stop at several ports, ending in Southeast Asia.
As soon as they boarded, they saw many people taking photos on the deck. The ship, brightly lit, was like a city on the sea.
[Wow, so this is the Dream Cruise! Been hyped up for over a year! If the tickets weren’t so expensive, I would have gone.]
[Chen Yu, is your fish-headed monster illness cured? A relaxing vacation? The ocean view is amazing, perfect for photos.]
[I heard CEO Wei bought this as a thirtieth birthday gift for his late wife, so romantic.]
[Doctor Wu is amazing! He said he would have someone deliver medicine yesterday, and now he’s cured and on vacation! Shaman doctors are truly something.]
A blood-red comment suddenly appeared,
[Yuan Song, you bastard! Spending my money on other women!]
Username: Mu Yu Yi Mian.
Li Hao and his friends were still at school. Tang Xueshan, the female ghost, having learned that her asshole ex was on the Dream Cruise with her money, had been trying to find a live stream to watch.
Perhaps due to the ghost internet, she couldn’t find any, then she saw Su Chenyu’s and was able to join.
Even just seeing his back, Tang Xueshan instantly recognized him, laughing and drinking with a woman. Her Yin qi surged with anger.
She was so furious that a wicked thought arose –
Since reincarnation could take a while, how about she wrote Yuan Song into her next novel as the ultimate villain?
As she was thinking this, she suddenly noticed something in the live stream.
Although the image wasn’t very clear, since Su Chenyu was some distance away from Yuan Song, why didn’t he have a shadow?
[??? Mu Yu Yi Mian? Author, you’re still here? Didn’t Doctor Wu send you to reincarnate?]
[Wait, why can a ghost watch a live stream? This is scary.]
[Perhaps it’s Su Chenyu’s fish-headed monster illness? His Yin qi is affecting the live stream, so the author somehow connected?]
[Her boyfriend’s name is Yuan Song? You really shouldn’t meddle in the affairs of the living after death, it’ll only break your heart.]
Xu Qian, watching TV with her mother, also had a bad feeling.
Yuan Song.
Didn’t he say he was going back to his hometown for a family emergency? Lying, he was on a cruise!
A cool breeze blew across the deck as Su Chenyu walked around aimlessly, holding his phone and live streaming. Preoccupied, he wasn’t in the mood to enjoy the cruise, but seeing that Chengde Medical Clinic was also watching, he felt a bit more at ease.
An elderly man in an old-fashioned suit sat by the railing in a wheelchair, gazing at the distant lighthouse.
Su Chenyu glanced at him, surprised, mostly young people took these cruises.
He looked familiar but he couldn’t quite place him.
The cruise ship sailed towards Southeast Asia, and Su Chenyu, taking the bewildered Chen Zhao, a country bumpkin in the city, went to their pre-booked rooms.
One in 401, the other in 404.
Chen Zhao rolled around on the soft, luxurious bed, working for Wu Heng was truly the best.
“Holy crap, even the toiletries in the bathroom are high-end brands, can I take them with me? Finders keepers,” he said, examining the room like a country bumpkin in a mansion.
Just then, the doorbell rang. A waiter entered with a food cart, smiling, “This is a complimentary dish from Mr. Wei, a token of his appreciation, we hope you enjoy it.”
Chen Zhao figured he would enjoy anything free.
He lifted the metal lid, revealing a whole steamed fish, its head unusually large, its dead eyes staring at the ceiling.
As the lid was lifted, a white mist, cold to the touch, flowed out, drifting downwards.
[Chengde Medical Clinic: Not dry ice, but Yin qi.]
Su Chenyu also received the same dish. According to the staff, the fish was freshly caught from the deep sea.
Su Chenyu, seeing any fish head now, felt it was mocking him, his appetite gone.
Wu Heng, who had been lurking, suddenly commented.
Su Chenyu was surprised. Wasn’t this complimentary dish for every passenger? There were 213 passengers on this cruise!
[Yin qi? Holy crap, is this dish cursed?! It looks so good!]
[Damn it! I’m a foodie, I would have already eaten it!]
[+1, I would have devoured it!]
[Don’t scare me, Su Chenyu, should you share a room with Doctor Wu’s apprentice tonight?]
Chen Zhao, a Taoist doctor after all, also sensed something was off, and was about to warn Su Chenyu when his phone rang.
Seeing the caller ID, Chen Zhao said casually, “Master, what’s up?”
A stern voice came from the other end, “I told you to go to that tertiary hospital and treat the spider-silk patient, why haven’t you returned yet?”
Chen Zhao, leaning against the railing, looking at the night sky over the ocean, replied, “I’m not going back, I’m earning extra income!”
On this trip, if Su Chenyu’s fish head illness was cured, wouldn’t Wu Heng share the earnings with him?
His master sighed, “Zhao Zhao, as Taoist doctors of the Xuanmen, we shouldn’t be swayed by money, healing the sick and saving lives is our true purpose.”
Chen Zhao: “Doctor Wu gave me three hundred thousand.”
The old man on the other end paused. “But then again, money is important. Can you… get me in on this? The Xuanmen is being unreasonable, they haven’t paid me in ages.”
XD
But also wow are they turning humans into fish to sell?????
