Chapter 151: Hard Decision

"You can't run this time," his right hand managed to firmly grip the ginseng doll.

This ginseng doll tried to free itself for a while, but it was all useless. Ryan's grip was incredibly strong.

The man finally caught this ginseng doll after a long time. Without thinking, Ryan went straight to the kitchen with a happy face.

Before the doll was processed into medicine, was it better to fry it or boil it first? This ginseng doll sure looked delicious.

But would the effect be different if the processing method were different?

Ryan then thought for a moment while looking at the ginseng doll in his hand. However, he saw that the doll's face looked very pitiful and her eyes were swollen as if they had been crying all day.

The man just scoffed, he really didn't care and instead felt proud. Where had this ginseng doll's arrogant attitude gone?

After taking the raffia rope, Ryan tightly tied the ginseng doll and made it float in the air.

This time, the doll would not be able to escape from him.

Ryan just laughed seeing the doll hanging in the air. However, the doll begged Ryan to let her escape while whining.

Seeing this doll, Ryan felt a little moved. Maybe boiling it and making it into medicine was not a good decision.

But the thought of the wounds on his body and the betrayal of the Eclipse and others made Ryan's resolve unanimous. In order to survive and look after his friends, he must first heal himself.

After boiling this ginseng doll, Ryan intended to bring it back to the mountain to give it to the third grandfather. Only then would his grandfather be able to make medicine for him.

With his knowledge of traditional medicinal techniques, his grandfather could maximize the potential of this ginseng doll. After all, the ginseng doll's entire body was a treasure.

After hesitating, Ryan turned on the stove and boiled water. He then took a piece of cloth and was ready to wrap the ginseng doll. However, the doll suddenly let out a crying sound.

Seeing that she was about to die, the ginseng doll cried profusely.

Hearing the cries, Ryan's heart softened again. He just stared confusedly at the ginseng doll.

The doll was completely hopeless, she cried like a baby with her hands rubbing her eyes. Even her tears were transparent like human tears.

Did this doll actually cry?

Ryan was surprised, this doll really looked like a living thing.

Ryan suddenly felt discouraged. After all, this ginseng doll was a living creature that managed to live and absorb the essence of the earth for hundreds of years.

However, his mind was still filled with the temptation to heal his injured body. Ryan was really stuck in two difficult choices.

On one hand, he felt sorry for this ginseng doll. On the other hand, he was concerned about the condition of his body.

"Hey come on, why are you suddenly becoming whiny?" Ryan said. But the ginseng doll seemed unable to hear him because she was still afraid of losing her life. Instead, she cried even louder.

"I don't really want to turn you into medicine. I just want a part of you to help me recover," Ryan said while scratching his head.

The ginseng doll still didn't pay attention to him, even the leaves on her head withered. She looked so pathetic.

Ryan frowned, his heart was still in doubt. After a while, he smiled bitterly. "My injury is very bad, I have to survive for the sake of the people around me. I hope you understand,"

Again, he still loved the ginseng doll. The doll was still crying while begging Ryan to let her go.

Faced with such cuteness, Ryan really couldn't stand it. If this ginseng doll was just ordinary ginseng, he wouldn't hesitate to boil her at the first chance. But this doll was different.

It could be said that this ginseng doll was a living thing, not a plant. Its life was shaped in hundreds of years.

Ryan took a deep breath, then he cut her rafts and untied the ginseng doll. The man then said with a sad face, "I'll let you go this time. Next time I catch you, don't hope this will happen again. Go,"

After cutting the rope, Ryan was still reluctant and unwilling. Since when had his heart softened like this? It was really unfortunate for him.

Turning his face, Ryan then boiled medicinal soup as per his grandfather's prescription. The sound of the ginseng doll's crying slowly could not be heard. Seeing Ryan no longer pay attention to her, this doll still couldn't believe what had happened.

The look in her eyes explained everything. 'Are you really going to let me go?'

Raising her hand, the doll realized that the rope used to tie her was gone and she could really leave here.

Ryan was seen chopping and busy boiling. When he realized that the ginseng doll was still here, he frowned. "Why don't you go? Do you want to come in this pot?"

However, this ginseng doll was seen smiling and running towards Ryan's feet. She then crawled up and sat on the man's shoulder.

Just when he had let her go, this doll was already teasing him again.

However, it turned out that the ginseng doll actually kissed Ryan on the cheek!

SMOOOOCH!

Her voice was very loud and very clear. This made Ryan confused, did this ginseng doll also have feelings?

Ryan didn't know whether he had to cry or be happy in his heart. He was a man of principles. Apart from men, old people, ugly people, anyone could kiss him. But he didn't expect that a supernatural being like this ginseng doll would actually kiss him.

It seemed that this principle must be changed in the future. Only humans should be able to kiss him. Now Ryan's face was filled with a bitter smile.

However, the ginseng doll was truly ecstatic. She was still sitting on Ryan's shoulder and embracing his neck. Then he kissed Ryan on the cheek once again.

"Whatever," Ryan could only surrender when the doll kissed him. Since when did this ginseng doll have feelings for him? Didn't he try to boil it a minute ago?

Then the ginseng doll remained sitting on Ryan's shoulder and looked at the pot that Ryan cooked. After thinking for a moment, she stretched out her hand.

Ryan looked at her with a curious expression, after which he saw that a white bead had come out of the ginseng doll's hand.

A moment later, the ginseng doll stuck out its hand to Ryan. The man was surprised because this ginseng doll wanted to give her precious blood.

"For me?" Ryan asked to make sure.

"Hmm."

The doll nodded its head while giving it to Ryan.

Seeing these beads, Ryan was delighted. He had seen for himself the miracle that a drop of blood brought from a ginseng doll.

He quickly looked for the test tube and put it away. Then Ryan said with a smile, "Then we're even."

At the same time, the door to his house opened. Ryan then realized that Mrs. Susan had returned from the market.

"Welcome," Ryan said with a smile.

"Ah, how come you're already home?" Mrs. Susan's smiling face immediately changed when she saw the figure of the doll on Ryan's shoulder.

Was it a doll?

Mrs. Susan frowned and narrowed her eyes. The doll looked exactly like what she saw in the book.

"Ah yes, please let me introduce this ginseng doll. It's a kind of natural miracle," seeing Mrs. Susan who was silent, Ryan immediately explained.

Her guess was correct!

Mrs. Susan was really surprised. And when she tried to hold it, this ginseng doll made an "Ah!" sound and jumped off Ryan's shoulders. 

The doll was really alive!

It really baffled her to the infinite and beyond. She initially didn't believe the contents of the book she was reading but after seeing it firsthand, she could only be stunned. 

The wonders of nature, the essence of the earth and sky that created life.

But at this time, the ginseng doll was seen waving at Ryan and disappeared without a trace.

"Where is she going?" Mother Susan tried to find it.

"Oh, she's gone again. She may come back to this house," Ryan said with a smile.

Seeing the smile and calmness in Ryan's face, Mrs. Susan felt she had to reconsider her view towards the man. At first, she thought that Ryan was just an ordinary person. However, after several attacks in the home and in the hospital, she felt that Ryan was no ordinary person. But she didn't really think about it because Ryan's martial arts skills might have come from his parents' teachings so that he could defend himself.

She didn't really pay a heed about it. Mrs. Susan only thought that Ryan was an ordinary fighter. But after this incident, it seemed like she had to change her judgment.

The ginseng doll was absolutely priceless. How could Ryan be familiar with it?
