Chapter Thirty-Three: The Mediocre Doctor

  Seeing a stranger suddenly appearing in front of the sickbed, the red-haired beauty's eyebrows furrowed slightly, with a hint of vigilance: "Iina, who is he?"

  "Mr. Ferre of the Magic Guild..."

  "How did you let him in?" The red-haired beauty's tone was somewhat dissatisfied, but upon seeing Ina's innocent eyes, that dissatisfaction turned into helplessness: "Ina... I've told you many times before, Mr. McGregory's illness isn't something that just anyone can cure. If magic could be of use, I would have helped you find a way long ago..."

  "But Mr. Ferre..." Ina's face showed a hint of grievance, her big eyes flashing with a pleading gaze at Lin Li.

  "Ina, be good and listen, sister will definitely think of a way to cure Mr. MacGregor." The red-haired beauty coaxed Ina with some helplessness, her autumn water-like beautiful eyes turned to Lin Li: "I warn you, don't have any ideas about Ina, otherwise even if Greer comes in person, it's not certain that he can save you."

  In the end, the red-haired beauty's voice was already tinged with a hint of coldness, and the aura that inadvertently emanated from her made even Lin Li secretly shocked. This was at least the aura of a level 10 or higher strong person. At this moment, the red-haired beauty seemed like a beautiful and sharp sword, with autumn water-like flowing eye waves filled with exposed killing intent.

  "This is actually a warrior above level 10! Lin Li's heart was slightly surprised, but his face didn't show any signs of it, and he just smiled faintly: "If I leave, can you cure Mr. McGregory?"

  "This... this has nothing to do with you!"

  "What does it have to do with me?" Lin Li suddenly smiled: "Mr. McGregory is my friend, if not for his words, I might still be unable to leave the Sunset Mountains now. You say this doesn't concern me? Besides, since you want to take responsibility for treating him, I ask you, do you know where Mr. McGregory's problem lies?"

  "Hmph! I thought you had some skills... " The red-haired beauty, Shuri, raised an eyebrow and a confident smile spread across her face: "There are no wounds on his body, nor has he ever been attacked by magic. For Mr. McGregory to be in this state now, there are only two possibilities: either a spiritual attack or a cursed attack!"

  "Not bad, not bad, you can see that point, you're also a good doctor. Lin Li smiled and praised for two sentences, but then the tone turned: "Unfortunately, the eyes are not very good..."

  Lin Li raised McGregory's right hand: "Look at this."

  The red-haired beauty looked up and saw that thin black line. For a moment, she was shocked and her face lost its color: "Curse?"

  "Do you know what this is called?"

  Lin said half of what he wanted to say, but didn't reveal the answer. Instead, he sat on the bed with a sly smile, his eyes filled with playful teasing as he gazed at the red-haired beauty, his expression seeming to say, "Want to know? But I won't tell you..."

  That detestable look fell into the eyes of the red-haired beauty, and it was as if she had become even more hateful. Silently cursing in her heart, "A small-minded person will get their comeuppance, just you wait..."

  However, the curiosity in her heart could not be suppressed, and the proud red-haired beauty had to put aside her pride for a moment: "May I ask, what is this curse?"

  A "please" made Lin's mood greatly refreshed, just like a cold drink on a hot summer day that went from the top of his head to his toes. This guy was in a daze for a while, shaking his head and swaying back and forth, before pointing out with an air of superiority: "Take a closer look, this black line extending from the arm all the way to the heart is called the Dusk Curse. No matter how powerful the creature, once it's afflicted with the Dusk Curse, it will inevitably fall into a deep sleep and gradually weaken... until death."

  Lin Li's face was filled with intoxication, and the red-haired beauty felt even more humiliated in her heart. After secretly scolding herself as "a petty person getting his way", she was quickly attracted by Lin Li's words again.

  The red-haired beauty came from a prominent family and had a famous teacher to guide her. At a young age, she already possessed strength above level 10. Her medical skills were exceptionally high, far surpassing others. In her teens, she even received guidance from an apothecary.

  But she had never heard of the so-called dusk curse, and even less thought that this dusk curse could kill people in their sleep.

  Everything this young lawyer said was like coming from another world to her.

  At first, the red-haired beauty still had some shyness and anger in her heart, thinking that this young wizard was fabricating lies to deceive herself, and that there was no such thing as a dusk curse in this world.

  But as Lin Li was about to cast the dusk curse, the red-haired beauty finally showed some emotion. After all, she had been instructed by a pharmacist and knew that there were some things in this world that couldn't be fabricated out of thin air.

  Even if this dusk curse is fake, once it involves the subtleties, it can't deceive a true insider. Some of the things this young wizard said are almost identical to what that pharmacist who pointed me out at the beginning said, and in some places, he even explained more clearly than the pharmacist.

  For a moment, the red-haired beauty had mixed feelings in her heart, with some surprise and admiration. However, when she saw Lin Li's face with that smug expression, she suddenly felt an inexplicable surge of shame and anger.

  "In short, that's the situation. The curse of dusk is not a big deal, but it's not something you doctors can handle. I'm telling you, little red-haired sister, just go back to being a mediocre doctor and don't come out to harm people." Lin Likuo didn't care about her emotions, after a long speech, he made a blunt conclusion, only because of spending too much time with Ge Rui'an, his mouth also became poisonous.

  "You say I'm a mediocre doctor!" The red-haired beauty's eyes widened in incredulity, her stunning face bearing an expression of utter disbelief. Born into a prominent family and possessing formidable abilities, who dared to speak harshly to her except for her teachers? Since opening her medical clinic, she had saved countless lives, always receiving praise for her exceptional skills - who had ever called her a mediocre doctor?

  Unexpectedly, in Ina's home today, this young lawman threw out the two words "quack doctor" as soon as he opened his mouth. Thinking back to his previous appearance of being pleased with himself, the red-haired beauty could no longer suppress her indignation.

  Under the intense anger, a pair of beautiful eyes revealed endless killing intent, and a strong aura burst out suddenly. The red Dou Qi was like a swirling flame, and from afar, the red-haired beauty looked like a phoenix bathed in fire.
