Chapter 23
Seeing Lin Zaozao scowling and not speaking, Murong Hai spoke seriously again.
"Lin Zaozao, there is another thing I must tell you. You must lose weight. The toxins in your body really mean you can't keep getting fatter.
The fatter you get, the faster the toxins in your body will spread. For the sake of your life, you should consider this carefully!"
"Murong Hai, of course I know that eating too much makes you fat. But you can't just let me starve to death! What's more, I have ways to lose weight and bring my weight down. But it definitely won't be the starving to death method you're talking about.
If you don't believe me, open your eyes wide and take a good look at me. I've lost a lot of weight these last few days!"
After hearing Lin Zaozao's words, Murong Hai and the others took a proper look at Lin Zaozao's chubby figure.
If they didn't look closely, they really wouldn't have noticed that this Lin Zaozao's big belly had gotten a lot smaller.
Seeing their somewhat shocked expressions, Lin Zaozao couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Of course she had lost weight. She had lost a full eleven pounds yesterday and today!
Eleven pounds of fat could fill a whole bowl.
If only the system could turn the fat she lost into pork, that would be so great!
She was starving after not having a proper meal for several days.
Just as Lin Zaozao was lost in thought, Ji Fantian grabbed Lin Zaozao's wrist. When he took Lin Zaozao's pulse, his eyes were filled with shock.
What was going on?
A few days ago when he had taken this silly woman's pulse, it had clearly been the pulse of someone close to death.
But now after just a few days, the toxins in her body had lessened greatly. He remembered when he had first come into contact with this fat woman a few days ago, the toxins in her body had clearly already seeped into her bones, to the point where no medicine could cure her.
He had told her to lose weight before only so that this fat woman could act as their human shield for a few more days before their plan succeeded.
But now, if the toxins in her body kept fading away at this rate, they would be completely gone in less than three months.
Ji Fantian thought about how Lin Zaozao had made physical contact with him, Ruo Qiu, and Gu Shan earlier that day under the pretext of fortune telling.
As soon as she touched them, the pain in his body would lessen greatly. He was a doctor, and knew best about the toxins in his own body.
So when Lin Zaozao had held his hand earlier that day under the guise of fortune telling, the sudden reduction in pain was why he hadn't shaken her off.
Could it be? Was this silly woman Lin Zaozao able to reduce the toxins in others' bodies just through physical contact?
Or did she have some secret detox method, using physical contact just to blind people?
Thinking this, Ji Fantian didn't care about Lin Zaozao being dirty, and grabbed her hand again under everyone's shocked gazes. But after a while, Ji Fantian didn't feel the toxins in his body reduce at all.
Lin Zaozao unconsciously pouted, seeing through Ji Fantian's attempt to test her.
Humph! The damn system had said she had to be willing for it to help others transfer pain and illness.
This fake immortal Ji Fantian thought he could just transfer pain through physical contact? Wishful thinking!
This bastard was so observant and perceptive. She would be the last one to remove the pain from his body!
That way this observant bastard wouldn't discover her little secret because of his keen observational skills.
After all, it was best if fewer people knew about the system.
Even if you're innocent, thinking about it makes you guilty. Lin Zaozao knew this reasoning, so she absolutely could not tell anyone about the system. Although she thought this, Lin Zaozao still let Ji Fantian hold her hand, joking,
"My second husband! You can't stand to see concubine's heavenly beauty, so you've fallen for me without realizing it, haven't you!
Look how you're stroking concubine's chubby little hand again and again. If you really can't bear to part with me, I'll reluctantly agree to accompany you every night. What do you think?"
As soon as Lin Zaozao finished speaking, Ji Fantian flung away her hand as if he had been holding something filthy.
Seeing Ji Fantian's disgust, Lin Zaozao grabbed his bedsheet and wiped her hands before he could.
Humph! You disdain me for being dirty, but I disdain you too!
A human-faced dog, pretending to be so proper.
When he thought I was useful he didn't care I was dirty, just grabbed my chubby hand and stroked it over and over.
Now that I'm useless, he flings away my hand. His behavior is no different from a scumbag who pretends he doesn't know you after getting in your pants.
Ji Fantian = Scumbag Manwhore
Ji Fantian froze in the middle of reaching for a handkerchief to wipe his hands when he saw Lin Zaozao's wiping gesture. His chest heaved slightly, but after a moment he stopped his instinctive motion to wipe his hands.
Forget it, he wouldn't bother arguing with this wretched woman Lin Zaozao. Even Murong Hai couldn't stand her vicious mouth. Let alone him.
"Alright, it's getting late now. I don't know if you all agree with my earlier proposal. If you do, let's swear an oath with a handshake."
After speaking, Lin Zaozao stretched out her chubby hand, indicating for her five beautiful flower-like husbands to shake hands with her.
Surprisingly, the first one to agree was the mute Ye Yi.
After shaking hands with Lin Zaozao, he immediately walked out the door. With Ye Yi taking the lead, the other four husbands also agreed to Lin Zaozao's request.
Though after shaking hands with her, Gu Shan said coldly, "Lin Zaozao, I won't interfere with you, but if you need help with anything in the future, you can come to me."
"Ah! Okay, okay. Gu Shan, you're so kind, your health will definitely keep improving."
After speaking, Lin Zaozao bear-hugged towards Gu Shan, wanting to give him a loving hug, but he easily dodged.
Seeing her empty embrace, Lin Zaozao wasn't annoyed. After observing him these past few days, she knew Gu Shan was just a very cold person who didn't like physical contact, so it was normal.
Most importantly, with her 280 pound body, if she pressed down on Gu Shan's slender frame, and injured him, that would be bad.
After all, out of her five husbands, she liked Gu Shan the most.
