Chapter 1116 Honey Badger’s Tenacity

“Are we leaving? We only just arrived.”

“We have flown thousands of kilometers to see you.”

“Master Fang Qiu, we are all your admirers, and we just met. If you leave now, we will be upset. At the very least, please give us a moment of your time before you leave.”

“Yes, just a few moments.”

“We only want to talk.”

The Egypttians echoed the request one after another.

Seeing how enthusiastic everyone was, Fang Qiu immediately smiled and nodded. “Alright, let’s talk.”

Everybody cheered.

“Okay, let’s talk about malaria.”

Fang Qiu thought for a moment and said, “Those who came to Africo for the first time should have little knowledge of malaria. After all, there are very few patients with malaria in our country. Patients who are diagnosed with malaria are immediately subjected under isolated treatment. Therefore, very few doctors ever come into contact with malaria.”

Malaria is commonly regarded as violently virulent all over the world, but what information about malaria that has been disseminated through all kinds of channels did little to exaggerate this fact. Instead, there was information that had been prevented from being publicized.

Since my arrival to Africo, I have encountered patients with malaria everywhere. Comores, for one. Since they couldn’t be treated and couldn’t afford medical disinfection, the patients there were brought and quarantined at an island called Moheri. With malaria everywhere there, patients could do nothing but endure the torture and torment of pain from this illness.

This is Kairo, the capital of Egyptt. But even here, I see people with malaria. Patients from isolated tribal communities are not far away from here.

“If even the members of tribal communities here are already strickened by malaria, then it wouldn’t be a stretch to say that the situation of malaria here in Egyptt has become very severe!”

However, Fang Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, saying,” But thankfully, I have discovered a prescription that can completely cure malaria. The ingredients of the prescription can be found here. They come from the vicinity of the tribal communities’ settlements. Someone discovered and had used this prescription before, but its effects were unstable. In time, many began to forget about this prescription. Now I have found it again, what’s changed? Why could this prescription be reliable now that it could completely cure malaria?

The reason is simple: the locals here don’t know how to process herbs. It was Huaxian physicians who knew how to process these herbs and make full use of the plant’s properties that could completely cure malaria.

“You’re on behalf of Huaxia, please! There are hundreds of millions of malaria patients in Africo that need your help! You can bring glory to Chinese Medicine of Huaxia!”

After that, Fang Qiu paused for a while and added, “So, for the glory of Chinese Medicine of Huaxia, eh?”

“Okay!”

All 1,000 men answered simultaneously at once.

Beyond any doubt, Fang Qiu’s speech was very rousing enough. Not only did everyone realize how bad the outbreak was, but they also clearly understood their responsibilities. Morale was high and everyone knew that despite the difficult battle waiting for them, they must triumph!

“That’s all, I guess.”

Fang Qiu glanced at everyone with a smile and asked, “Anything else?”

Everyone stared at him blankly in a daze, saying nothing.

A beat of silence passed.

“Let’s take a photo together.”

A voice blurted out of nowhere.

Everyone heard that.

“Okay.”

Fang Qiu said immediately, nodding in agreement.

What he thought was a group photo turned out to be a huge misunderstanding when the person who requested a photo broke out from the rest of the crowd. All the person wanted was a picture of them both together.

That prompted everyone else into wanting to take a picture with Fang Qiu too. Seeing this, all the other people asked to take the same kind of photos.

“Jesus. One thousand admirers and each of them wants a picture?!” That was how Fang Qiu spent his whole day taking photos with them.

This was not a big deal. What perturbed Fang Qiu the most was that when taking pictures with his admirers, he was requested to accommodate them in putting up hilarious and funny gestures or expressions. Some wanted him to look more dashing, some wanted a cooler posture, some wanted him to put up a funny face, while others asked for him to hold them in his arms or even carry them! The list just went on and on.

But Fang Qiu couldn’t say no to them.

He had given them his word. And since they had come all the way here to help, taking pictures with them was the least he could do for them.

Fang Qiu had smiled the whole day because of this

Wang Yichen, who brought Fang Qiu here, did nothing to stop the photo session. Instead, he merely stood aside for the rest of the day, wearing a wry grin that never seemed to vanish, much to Fang Qiu’s annoyance.

…

Early the next morning.

Not long after dawn, Fang Qiu took out his mobile phone and called Mr. Zhao Shanlin.

“Hello?”

Zhao Shanlin answered the phone.

“Mr. Zhao, I’m going to transplant the plant today. I’ll arrive at the cultivation base tomorrow,” Fang Qiu said.

“Okay, I’ll go back now,” Zhao Shanlin replied and then hung up the phone.

After everything was complete, Fang Qiu said his goodbyes to both the old chieftain of the tribe and Wang Yichen. Then he took a bag designed for the use of the relocation and rushed to the place where Three Lives was.

When he walked deep into the grassland, about 20 or 30 meters away from Three Lives, Fang Qiu smelled a faint fragrance. The Qi of Heaven and Earth in the air seemed to be much richer now than before.

“Has it ripened?” Fang Qiu thought.

His heart did a flip as he immediately thought of the fruits.

He broke into a sprint and sped to where Three Lives was.

However, as soon as he arrived, he found Honey Badger standing there. The latter had just consumed a golden fruit.

Looking at the ground, Fang Qiu noticed that it was the first fruit on the vine of Three Lives that Honey Badger picked.

“Oh no, Honey Badger,” Fang Qiu hissed bitterly, feeling the loss of the fruit.

Totally unfazed, Honey Badger stared at him with indifference while heating the fruit If anything, he looked rather disdainful.

Fang Qiu was nowhere near pleased with all.

The fruit might grow again, but there was no denying the contempt the ratel was showing him.

Anger filled the emptiness inside his heart.

Fang Qiu immediately stormed forward.

He only just took one step forward when the ratel quickly shoved what remained of the fruit into its mouth, swallowed it, before striding towards him with not a hint of fear on its face.

Like it was spoiling for a fight with Fang Qiu.

“A fight?! That’s what you want, isn’t it?

All right, come on!”

Fang Qiu stepped forward and attacked before the ratel could attempt anything. Qi of Heaven and Earth, he blasted the ratel away.

At the same time, he quickly dug up the entirety of Three Lives’ plant, its whole root, and stem, and frantically stuffed the plant inside the bag he brought before he wheeled around and raced away.

“You better not catch up, Honey Badger…” Fang Qiu muttered as he ran.

Honey Badger would never give up that easily, not to mention that he had stolen such a valuable treasure from before its eyes.

But Fang Qiu was hardly afraid. A thousand ratels could come after him and he would still be undaunted, never mind just one ratel. He could easily defeat them all.

But he would try not to hurt them. Ratels could only live for 24 years at most.

Besides, Fang Qiu has a soft spot for animals like ratels.

As expected, he could hear the sound of paws pattering behind him.

He turned his head to have a look.

If it wasn’t Honey Badger that he blasted away just now.

The ratel galloped furiously in its dogged attempt to chase after Fang Qiu.

“Just go, away,” Fang Qiu muttered, waving a hand to fire another blast at the animal.

The ratel crashed to the ground only to scramble back to its feet and continued its chase. For one moment it looked as if the ratel wasn’t going to let anything come between it and Fang Qiu, even Death.

Fang Qiu glanced around, raking his mind for any solutions. He made sure that no one was looking before he shot up into the sky and continue his escape in the air.

But that did little to dissuade Honey Badger from calling off its chase.

All the while it gazed up to look at Fang Qiu while it tried to catch up from below.

“Jesus Christ. Is death really gonna be the only thing to stop this pest from following me?”

Fang Qiu smiled wryly and soared even higher, picking up more speed as he maintained his observation of Honey Badger with his Divine Consciousness.

Even after putting at least 20 kilometers between Honey Badger and himself, Fang Qiu realized that the animal was still maintaining its relentless pursuit of him even though it could barely see him from such a distance.

He was completely speechless.

But he made good time, arriving at the airport quickly.

Fang Qiu took the plant with him and used the airport’s VIP passage. He boarded a plane that ferried him back to Huaxia.

As soon as he was back in the capital, Fang Qiu boarded the second flight of his transit to Beijiang, where he was greeted by members of staff who took him back to the base quickly.

Fang Qiu wasted no time at all in coming back here as fast as he could, knowing how important this relocation was.

Zhao Shanlin and his three roommates were already prepared for him when he arrived and they hurried over expeditiously to help.

Zhao Shanlin had already come up with a spot for this plant, an idea he has had since seeing the plant a long time ago and learning about its growing conditions.

“Be careful. Don’t damage the fruits and the leaves,” Fang Qiu warned when he handed the bag to the others.

While Fang Qiu was responsible for the relocation of the plant, these botanists were all in charge of its replanting.

With Zhao Shanlin leading the job, the relocation of the Three Lives shrub was completed swiftly with Fang Qiu making sure that the plant has enough space to grow.

The plant did not need a big space and that saved Fang Qiu quite a lot of trouble.

It didn’t take long for them to finish all the tasks.

“Is everything all right, Mr. Zhao?” Fang Qiu asked when the transplantation was done.

“If it doesn’t show any signs of withering in three days, that means the transplantation is a success and I expect there won’t be any problems in the future,” Zhao Shanlin said.

“Very well, three days it is then,” Fang Qiu nodded.

Fang Qiu guarded around the Three Lives shrub for three days, making sure that it grew well.

Zhu Benzheng said, “Why did the youngest become interested in trees after going to Africo?”

“Is that a tree? It looks more like a vine to me,” said a confused Zhou Xiaotian.

“Mr. Zhao told me that. He admitted that he didn’t notice it properly the first time. The plant might look like a vine, but it is actually a tree. It’s still in its infantile stage. It will look like a tree when it grows bigger. The vines would entangle together like braids to form a tree. Then its fruits would be hanging from the tree like all other fruit trees around here,” said Zhu.

“Is this the reason why the youngest is so interested in that plant?” Sun Hao asked.

All three of them shared strange looks before their heads shook as one.

In the meantime, the Tianshan Rat Hare, who had been hiding somewhere for several days, woke up and sniffed around. Then, it leaped up and began racing towards Fang Qiu with as much speed as he could muster.
