The Sickly Regent Prince Who Was Abandoned as a Substitute Bride

Chapter 128 Going to Tiger's Village

Tiger stared in astonishment, never expecting to be suddenly lifted up. He considered himself tall and strong, but at this moment he was powerless to resist.

"Wan'er, you must be tired. Here, have some water..." Ye Jiuchen gently handed Dongfang Wan'er a glass of water and personally brought it to her lips. His eyes were full of care and love, which warmed Dongfang Wan'er's heart.

Dongfang Wan'er didn't stand on ceremony and took the water cup to drink.

"Gulu gulu..."

After drinking a glass of water, Dongfang Wan'er sighed contentedly, "Finally, I'm alive again..."

However, before she could finish speaking, she suddenly heard a voice coming from behind her.

"Has my little brother's hand been put back in place yet?!" Tiger shouted from behind.

Upon hearing this voice, Dongfang Wan'er couldn't help but turn her head to look.

Tiger looked at him anxiously, his eyes full of concern.

She smiled slightly and said, "The surgery was a success. I'll observe him for three more days after he wakes up. If everything is normal, then there won't be any problems..."

Upon hearing this, Hu Zi's face lit up with a hint of joy, but he still asked somewhat uncertainly, "Really?"

Dongfang Wan'er nodded and replied firmly, "Would I lie to you?"

Tiger was overjoyed and quickly said, "Alright, once my little brother wakes up, you can stay at my village for a few days..."

As soon as he said that, Ye Jiuchen, Dongfang Wan'er, An Ye, Qiu Qin, and the others all looked at Hu Zi with strange eyes.

Tiger felt a little uneasy under their gazes and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you all looking at me like that..."

At this moment, Ye Jiuchen spoke first: "Do you think we'll go with you?"

Upon hearing this, Tiger immediately understood their meaning and patted his chest, assuring them, "Although I, Tiger, am a bandit leader, I am a man of principle. I invited you to my stronghold simply to express my gratitude; there is absolutely no other intention..."

"You'd better behave yourself, or your entire village will be lost!" Ye Jiuchen said in a deep voice, his gaze as cold as a biting wind, sending chills down one's spine.

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Wan'er nodded slightly in agreement. She then said, "Don't cause any trouble. My husband is known as the Ghost-Faced Demon King; he's not someone to be trifled with."

When Ye Jiuchen heard himself referred to as the Ghost-Faced Demon King, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. He muttered to himself, "How come I didn't know I had this title?" However, he didn't show it and just silently looked at Dongfang Wan'er.

Qiuqin and Anye nodded in agreement, as they were well aware of Ye Jiuchen's prowess.

"Our group outside could easily take on ten of your men," Dark Night retorted without backing down.

"You, you guys, do you think I, Tiger, am that kind of person? You're really making me furious!" Tiger was so angry after hearing these words that he turned around and ignored them.

Just then, a coughing sound suddenly came from inside the room. Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to it.

"Little brother, my little brother is awake!" Tiger shouted excitedly, then rushed into the room without hesitation.

Upon entering the room, Tiger saw that his younger brother's hand had been successfully reattached and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't help but praise, "This woman's medical skills are indeed quite impressive."

However, the younger brother frowned and said, "Boss, I feel like I can't muster any strength." He tried to move his arms, but found that he seemed to have lost his strength.

"Hey, I advise you not to touch it, otherwise I'll have given you this hand for nothing. Do you think I'm a god? I can use your hand right after I reattach it. If you want your hand to heal faster, I suggest you don't touch it for a month, understand...?" Dongfang Wan'er walked in and looked at the man with a serious expression.

"Little brother, don't move around, listen to this young lady..." Tiger said sternly.

“Yes, Brother Tiger…” the man quickly replied.

"What are you standing there for? Call your men over to carry him! He's still under the effects of the anesthesia and can't walk. Are you still going to go to the village to play?" Dongfang Wan'er said in a harsh voice.

"Ah... okay, I'll go get help right away..." Tiger hurriedly went out.

"Wan'er, why did you accept this person...?" Ye Jiuchen asked after Hu Zi left.

“I had a dream last night, and I dreamt of this scene today. I also met Hu Zi. It turns out he is a Mongolian prince who will be of great use to you…” Dongfang Wan’er immediately attributed it to a dream.

Ye Jiuchen: ...Wan'er doesn't even bother to think before she lies anymore...

"Heh, as you say..." Ye Jiuchen chuckled...

Dongfang Wan'er remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she was still a little uneasy, unsure how much Ye Jiuchen believed...

Qiuqin: Miss, your reason is really far-fetched...

Dark Night: Master is spoiling me too much...

"Come on, quickly carry my little brother back to the village. Also, go buy some good wine and food; we have important guests tonight..." Tiger's hearty voice came from downstairs...

A group of people rushed up to the second floor, ready to carry the injured henchman away.

"Brother Tiger, what should we do with all these bottles and jars?" someone asked curiously, as they were puzzled by these unfamiliar items.

“Yeah, we’ve never seen these things before…” the others chimed in.

Tiger quickly turned to Dongfang Wan'er and asked, "Miss, what should we do with all these bottles and jars?" He was eager for an answer.

Dongfang Wan'er patiently explained, "Just have one person hold them and raise them above their head, but they need to maintain this posture for a long time..." She explained the relevant precautions in detail.

So everyone followed the instructions and boarded the carriages in a grand procession, ready to leave.

With a crisp "thud," Dark Night casually pulled out a silver ingot and struck the inn's door frame with perfect accuracy.

"Thank you, thank you!" The innkeeper was overjoyed and thanked them repeatedly, perhaps because he had received this unexpected windfall, or perhaps because he was grateful that they had solved his troubles.

"Candied hawthorn, candied hawthorn!" At this moment, Dongfang Wan'er heard a series of hawking voices coming from outside.

Qiuqin, quick-witted and agile, ran outside and bought a string of candied hawthorns for Dongfang Wan'er.

The group continued their journey...

Tiger's village is located in the mountains, and it's quite large, with about a hundred people...

"Young lady, sir, what do you think of my village...?" Tiger walked ahead, looking quite pleased with himself...

Dongfang Wan'er looked at the dilapidated gate before her... to be honest, there was really nothing to praise about it...

"Very good, very good..." Dongfang Wan'er still offered a token compliment...

"This...it's all tattered and worn out!" Ye Jiuchen said with obvious disgust.
