Chapter 28
"Miss Liliana, please wait! You don't need to do this! If I said I'm not tempted by your body, then I'm lying but If I use your body as a tool to satisfy my urges then I am same as those sc.u.ms! I am really tempted because I am a boy, naturally, I would be attracted to the opposite s.e.x but I won't do anything against my conscious! So please get dressed and this might not be over as the city lord might be on his way!" he said.

Zhang Shui knew after mentioning the cause of the disease, the city lord should be coming here to find a cure for his son.
***************************
City Lord's mansion,
In a room, the city lord was standing near a bed with a lady in her 40's, both of them looking at their son while the lady was crying.
A guy with an Alchemist robe checked their son's pulse and shook his head.
The Alchemist was a Rank 8 Alchemist and the only one Rank 8 in the entire city. He holds quite a reputation in the city as the Alchemists were considered rare.
"City lord your son's life is not in danger for now but If he gets's fat like this then his blood veins will be blocked by pressuring of his own fat! Then no one can save him!" he said.
"Mr. Fang, please save my son, we will pay you more than you ask! So please do anything, he's my only son and I don't want to lose him!" said the lady beside the city lord and cried.
"Miss don't worry I'll do my best!" he said as he looked at the woman tied in the corner. She was the slave from the snake race.
"You did best by not killing her! Let me take a sample of blood from her!" he said.
The snake woman kept her head low as the alchemist was drawing her blood.
Then a maid entered the room and said " Master, the head guard request to meet you! As he said this was an urgent matter!"
The city lord nodded and asked him to come inside "What happened, why did you wanted to meet me urgently?"
The head guard then explained everything to him. The city lord was surprised "Is that true he correctly guessed the race of the slave without even seeing her!" he asked.
"Yes! He seemed to know after hearing the symptoms from the slave dealer!" the head guard said.
A hope seemed to form on the face of the lady hearing this. She
The city lord ignored her and said "It seems that he might be someone of the medical background! And where's the b.i.t.c.h? Have you captured her?" he asked.
The head guard shook his head and explained Zhang Shui's request. The city lord harrumphed hearing this "Looks like that b.i.t.c.h seduced that boy inside the room! Let's go I refuse to believe someone of his background would protect that b.i.t.c.h every time!" he said.
The city lord marched to the inn where Zhang Shui was staying.
Zhang Shui stood near the door as he knew the city lord was coming.
"Greetings Young Master! I am the city lord of this Greenwich port city! Please forgive me for not welcoming young master here!" he said.
Zhang Shui only nodded without replying. The city lord continued,
"Young master! I heard that you knew the slave's breed correctly! May I know how young master found that?" he asked.
"I just had some knowledge about the blue lotus snake race and their specialty, that's why!" he said.
"So can I know why the city lord has come to meet me at this hour?" he asked.
"Sorry, Young master! I came here to arrest the criminal who put made my son's life in danger! I hope young master would allow me!" the city lord said while glaring at her.
"Today my son got unconscious and his life is in danger, it's all because of her!" he added.
Zhang Shui looked at the city lord's anger and said "City lord control your anger! Bring your son here tomorrow morning I will cure him but you have to promise me to not touch her!" he said.
Hearing this the city lord was ecstatic as he bowed to Zhang Shui and said: "Young master if you cure my son, I will do anything you say!"
"There's no need! Bring your son tomorrow, now I am going to rest so I won't see you out!" Zhang said and returned inside.
The city lord didn't take his way of speaking as rude, as he left the inn. At the city lord's mansion, the lady was crying in joy and her son who woke up was also happy.
And he asked "Dad did you harm miss Liliana? I said she was innocent you didn't harm her did you?" he asked.
"Son, why do you care about that b.i.t.c.h? She just a filthy slave trader! You're always good to a woman that's why you got harmed and cheated by them!" he reprimanded.
"Father its not it! Even though miss Liliana acts like that, she is a very good person inside! She has adopted more than 50 abandoned children and helped many poor people! She's does everything for those children! That's why before I got sick I asked father whether I can marry her!" he said.
City lord wanted to rebut but he heard that the Alchemist came to visit he stopped "Bring the Alchemist inside my office!" he said to the maid and walked out.
The city lord sat on his chair and said: "Mr. Fang, please be seated!"
"City Lord, I didn't come to chat! I came here because I heard you asked for someone else's help! Is that true?" he asked in anger.
"No, Mr. Fang I didn't ask for help, he himself told me that he would cure my son! I didn't request him" he said plainly.
"But you accepted his help, don't you? Do you know how insulting this is for me?" he replied.
"Please calm down, Mr. Fang! How could he achieve what Mr. Fang can't! He wanted to save the slave trader b.i.t.c.h that's why I gave him the chance! He will probably fail tomorrow, then I can arrest them both!" he said.
The Alchemist just harrumphed and went away. The head guard who was standing at the door came inside.
"Lord, you're planning to use Zhang Shui's hand to kill the Alchemist, aren't you? He would probably try to insult him tomorrow and in anger, the sovereign king behind him would kill the alchemist! It is a good plan!" he said.
The city lord harrumphed "The Alchemist sure has a way to stop my son's condition but he's deliberately delaying to get more wealth from me! He thinks I am stupid, but tomorrow we'll see who's the real stupid!" he said and laughed.
"But lord, that Zhang Shui has a Sovereign King guarding him, don't you think that it will become problematic?" he asked.
The city lord was silent as he was thinking "Let's see what happens, first I want my son to be cured and after that what happens is not my problem!" he replied.
