Open A Clinic To Cultivate Myself Chapter 384 The Heavenly Gem Magic Garmen

Although it was the first time he was weaving a garment, he required neither a pair of scissors, nor a sewing machine. He relied on the Incredible Sword Fingers and spiritual power of his left and right hand. Moreover, he knew his own body well. The final garment fitted himself well, the windbreaker reaching to just below his waist. If he allowed the hood to stand, it could act as a helmet. His long pants stretched down to his ankles and were just the right length, neither too loose nor too tight. Only that the design of this windbreaker and pants was rather simple. They looked no different from those bought from night markets.

Ning Tao did not quite care, wearing them happily on his body. Although this set of magic garments did not look cla.s.sy and had a simple design, the Heavenly Gem Cloth was soft and comfortable. He felt relaxed wearing them.

There was no mirror in Sky Clinic. Ning Tao had wanted to take a selfie with his cell phone to see how they looked overall, but soon realized that his phone was out of charge and had shut down.

Sunlight showered down on his head. As he stood in the sun, Ning Tao suddenly realized that it was early morning.

A golden-furred Native Field Dog dashed in from the alley entrance. It was the Howling Celestial Dog. It started to race at the moment it saw Ning Tao, its furry tail wagging continuously.

Ning Tao squatted down and stretched out his hand to fondle the Howling Celestial Dog's head.

The Howling Celestial Dog drew near and started licking Ning Tao's face.

A very strong aroma of garlic chives a.s.sailed his face. Ning Tao immediately frowned. He asked disgustingly, “Howling Celestial Dog, what did you eat?”

The Howling Celestial Dog answered, “Dumplings with garlic chives fillings. Made by Madam Jiang. Both Hu Xiaoji and I ate quite a lot.”

Actually, the Howling Celestial Dog had come the morning after Ning Tao returned from the demon village. It knew that Ning Tao was in his room weaving cloth, and so decided to go away instead. In the following three days, it would visit twice every day, once in the morning and once at night. But it had come only to look and did not knock on Ning Tao's door to disturb him. Jiang Hao also learned that Ning Tao was back and weaving cloth. She did not disturb him either, only sending the Howling Celestial Dog to see if he was out.

Ning Tao stood up. “Let's go home. Oh, so you and Hu Xiaoji ate all the dumplings?”

The Howling Celestial Dog replied, “Not all. When I came, Madam Jiang said her eyelids were twitching. She thought you would come, so she kept a basket of dumplings for you.”

Ning Tao was speechless.

“Dad, are you wearing the magic garment you have woven?” The Howling Celestial Dog followed behind Ning Tao, its canine face full of curiosity.

Ning Tao nodded. He suddenly remembered something. “Bite me.”

This time, Ning Tao did not need to threaten it by confiscating its cell phone. The Howling Celestial Dog pounced and bit down on Ning Tao's calf.

The crunching of its teeth was totally silent. Suddenly, there were sparks like moonlight glinting around the Howling Celestial Dog's mouth.

Other than these sparks, there were no other reactions.

Ning Tao could not feel any pain. He only felt as if he had been touched, that was all.

The Howling Celestial Dog released its canine mouth and stared in shock at the spot it had bitten. There was no hole in the black Heavenly Gem pants. Not even a thread of the garment had been bitten through!

Ning Tao turned back and glanced at the spot the Howling Celestial Dog had bitten. He smiled happily. “Not too bad. My efforts have not been in vain.”

A fawning smile appeared on the Howling Celestial Dog's canine face. “Dad, weave me a gown. Endangered animals like me need protection too.”

Ning Tao glanced at it and started to chuckle. “This Heavenly Gem Magic Garment can't be worn by your two mistresses, let alone you.”

The Howling Celestial Dog sighed despondently. If neither Mistress Jiang nor Mistress Qing could wear it, it was clearly even more unlikely to.

Ning Tao and the Howling Celestial Dog returned to the rented courtyard house. Jiang Hao seemed to have an intuition and walked out of the kitchen. She was still wearing an ap.r.o.n. The moment she saw Ning Tao, she did not say anything but walked briskly to him. She opened her arms wide and embraced Ning Tao.

Three days of absence seemed like three years. Not to mention it had been four days since Ning Tao visited home.

Crack!

The Howling Celestial Dog beside them instantly froze into an ice dog.

Each time she was agitated, Jiang Hao would not be able to control her ability as a new demon.

However, although the Howling Celestial Dog was already a frozen dog, Ning Tao whom Jiang Hao had embraced did not freeze. Just at the moment when her new demon abilities soared and went out of control, barely discernible sparks started to glitter around Ning Tao's Heavenly Gem Magic Garment. All her demon ability to freeze had been dissipated by the garment, turning into barely detectable specks of energy.

Although Ning Tao was not in the least affected, Jiang Hao released him in a fl.u.s.ter. She took a step back and stared directly at the Heavenly Gem Magic Garment Ning Tao was wearing, her face full of astonishment. “So… this is the magic garment you wove over the past few days?”

Crack!

The Howling Celestial Dog shattered the ice encasing his body and scampered away.

Ning Tao said, “It's good, isn't it? See, you didn't manage to freeze me.”

Jiang Hao turned a circle around Ning Tao, staring at his front and back. Then she returned to Ning Tao's front. “Of course, I can't complain about the thing you refine. But…”

“But what?”

Jiang Hao said, “It's just a little old-fashioned. It doesn't look nice on you.”

Ning Tao was a little speechless. “So long as it's practical, it's good enough. I never bother about whether they look nice or fashionable.”

Jiang Hao deliberately showed a grimacing face. “You're right, we can just get used to the look.”

Ning Tao changed the topic. “But the way, what happened during my retreat?”

Jiang Hao said, “Nothing unexpected happened. The construction of the experimental base is in full swing. I visit it every day. There's no response from the Genesis Biotech Company. But Song Chengpeng spent money to keep that female victim quiet. She testified that he had not violated her, so he has been released.”

This outcome did not surprise Ning Tao at all. Although the law had its inviolable awe, too many villains and wicked people were living outside its framework. They were even surviving well.

Jiang Hao suddenly remembered something again. “By the way, Qing Zhui called last night. She said she could not get you and was very worried. She only felt a.s.sured after I told her you were in a retreat, weaving a fabric in your clinic. She said she and her sister would be back from Shu Province in two days, and that she would bring me some local products.”

Ning Tao had actually missed Qing Zhui very much, but he pretended that he did not quite care. “So she is coming back. Why bring us local products? What a girl.”

Jiang Hao rolled her eyes at him. “You're not speaking your mind. If you miss her, admit it. Why pretend to be nonchalant? Don't think I can't tell.”

“Shoot me with a gun,” Ning Tao said suddenly.

“What did you say?” Jiang Hao was instantly stunned to the spot.

Ning Tao said seriously, “I said, shoot me with your gun. Don't shoot at my vital points. Just shoot me somewhere in my thigh or arm.”

Jiang Hao shook her head. “No way. What joke are you cracking?”

Ning Tao reached out and grasped Jiang Hao's shoulder. “Hao, you have seen the two pract.i.tioner killers in the Genesis Biotech Company. That grandfather-and-granddaughter team is really hard to handle, especially with the musical instruments in their hands. They have not struck because I'm still useful to them. But once I outlive my value, they will unhesitatingly kill me. Shooting me with your gun is far better than them attacking me from behind. I need to know the defense properties of this Heavenly Gem Magic Garment.”

Jiang Hao thought for a while, then nodded.

Ning Tao stepped back, only stopping when he felt he had reached a distance. He spread out his arms and awaited the firing of the gun.

Jiang Hao pulled out her pistol and mounted a silencer. She said as she did so, “What if I injure you?”

Ning Tao smiled and said, “Don't worry about that. As long as you aren't firing at my heart or brain, I can heal myself. My arm or thigh, just shoot at either.”

After mounting the silencer, Jiang Hao raised her gun.

But before she could fire, a pet.i.te figure suddenly flew over and kicked Jiang Hao's back!

Jiang Hao stepped sideways in an instant.

The pet.i.te figure did not manage to kick her. Her entire person rammed like a bullet sh.e.l.l into Ning Tao's arms.

Ning Tao was still standing where he was and did not dodge.

There was no sound of any strike or collision. That pet.i.te figure stopped before Ning Tao's chest. She was none other than Hu Xiaoji, who had grown a little. Her foot kicked directly on Ning Tao's chest. Barely discernible specks of light sparkled, but nothing else happened. Ning Tao's body had only trembled a little.

Bam!

Hu Xiaoji toppled, her b.u.t.t kissing the ground. In the next second, she had rebounded from the ground and glared angrily at Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao's face was full of helplessness. “It was your dad who made me shoot him.”

Hu Xiaoji snorted angrily. “I don't believe you. You are holding a gun! If you dare to shoot my dad, I will kill you!”

Ning Tao slapped the back of Hu Xiaoji's head. “She's your mother. You mustn't answer her so rudely!”

“Dad…” Hu Xiaoji felt aggrieved. Her black beady eyes welled up with tears.

Ning Tao's heart softened. “Be good and move aside. I'm asking your Mama Jiang to help me test the performance of this garment. Be obedient and step aside. I will buy you ice-cream later.”

Hu Xiaoji smiled through her tears. “I want a box of them.”

Ning Tao smiled wryly. “Okay, we'll make it one box.”

Only then did Hu Xiaoji move aside.

Jiang Hao pulled the trigger and a bullet flew out of the muzzle, hitting Ning Tao in his thigh.

Specks of barely discernible energy glinted and the bullet head fell to the ground. It was very bizarre. The bullet head was not deformed, nor was the place it hit wounded.

The test results were out. This Heavenly Gem Magic Garment could survive the sharp fangs of the Howling Celestial Dog. In other words, it could protect against the destructive attacks of cold weapons like daggers or military knives. It could counter demon power attacks, as evinced in its defense against Jiang Hao's freezing abilities. Now, it proved that neither Hu Xiaoji's physical kick nor gunshots could harm its wearer. Its defense capabilities were just as recorded in the Tianbao Weaving Method manual.

Ning Tao felt agitation in his heart. With this Heavenly Gem Magic Garment, he no longer needed to fear Sun Pingchuan and Sun Xiangli! Even if he met another tyrant like Bai Sheng, he would not need to fear!

Jiang Hao impatiently came over to see the spot where Ning Tao had been shot. But before she could say anything, the Howling Celestial Dog had raced over, holding a letter in its mouth.

“Dad, someone threw a letter at the door. Would you like to read it?” The Howling Celestial Dog asked.

Ning Tao took down the envelope from its mouth, opened it and pulled out a letter. He unfolded it.

After reading the letter, his brows immediately began to furrow…
