Tang San's Accidental Pregnancy
"Teacher, we're back."
Spirit Hall had provided a resting area for each academy.
Tang San and Xiao Wu arrived there.
The Shrek teachers and students hurriedly asked about Xiao Wu's condition.
"Xiao Wu, has your strange illness been cured?"
Xiao Wu smiled brightly. "Thank you all for your concern. I'm fine now."
Strangely enough,
the strange carrot had turned out to be the key to curing her.
"Little San, get some good rest over the next few days and prepare for the finals three days from now."
"All right."
Now that Xiao Wu was safe and sound,
Tang San was willing to put all his attention on the competition.
Just then,
a sharp, twisting pain struck him, fierce and sudden.
It made Tang San's face contort.
"Ah..."
The tearing pain felt as though swords and knives were clashing inside his stomach.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
Tang San clutched his stomach with both hands and couldn't help squatting down.
"My stomach hurts so much."
A stomachache?
If they hadn't seen the sweat pouring down Tang San's face,
none of them would have believed this was what a stomachache looked like.
"Little San, did you eat something?"
Dai Mubai asked.
Without even thinking, Tang San blurted out, "I... I've eaten the same things as you these past few days."
A thought flashed through Ning Rongrong's mind.
She hurriedly summoned the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
"Nine Treasures Have Names."
"First: Strength, Second: Speed, Third: Spirit..."
She unleashed every support skill she had on Tang San.
At that moment,
Tang San's stomach hurt terribly.
He clenched his teeth and shook his head.
"Rongrong, it's no use."
The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's attribute boosts did nothing for him.
Oscar stepped forward.
"Super Recovery Big Sausage."
"Detoxifying Sausage."
He stuffed two sausages, one thick and one thin, into Tang San's mouth.
"Ah..."
Tang San's pupils widened, and the intense agony made his whole body tremble.
The sight
turned everyone's faces pale with fright.
"What on earth is going on?"
"Third Brother has always been healthy. Why does his stomach suddenly hurt so much?"
An idea struck Xiao Wu.
She hurriedly crouched down in front of Tang San.
"Brother, I'll take you to Rejuvenation Hall to have it checked."
Having been there herself,
Xiao Wu naturally had complete faith in Cao Mengde's medical skills.
Rejuvenation Hall?
Hearing that they wanted to seek out that young Titled Douluo,
even though Tang San was nearly dying of pain, his jealousy of Cao Mengde was still alive and well.
"Xiao Wu, I'm fine."
Tang San sat cross-legged.
With great difficulty, he circulated the Mysterious Heaven Skill.
After all,
he had lived two lives and was well versed in the Tang Sect's various detoxification methods.
A mere stomachache was nothing to worry about.
Soon,
disappointment appeared on Tang San's face.
He had used the Tang Sect's methods, yet he couldn't find the cause of his stomachache.
Could it be...
Did he really have to go to Cao Mengde?
Tang San was deeply jealous.
At the thought of seeking treatment from someone better than him, his anger surged to his heart, and a mouthful of blood rushed up his throat.
"Pfft."
"Brother..."
Xiao Wu was terrified.
Seeing that Tang San's face was still etched with pain,
she hurriedly looked at Dai Mubai.
"Boss Dai, hurry and take Third Brother to Rejuvenation Hall. Cao Mengde's medical skills are superb. He'll surely know what to do."
"No..."
Tang San raised a hand and grabbed Xiao Wu.
"Xiao Wu, let me try again. It's only a stomachache."
Hearing that they wanted to go to Cao Mengde for treatment,
Tang San grew angry for no apparent reason.
He had lived two lives and was well versed in the Tang Sect's cultivation methods.
Why should he have to go to Cao Mengde for treatment?
Besides,
he wasn't ill.
There had to be some other reason for his stomachache. He definitely wasn't ill.
"Brother, please listen to me."
Tang San said no more.
He stayed seated on the ground, circulating the Mysterious Heaven Skill to treat himself.
However,
his so-called healing methods had no effect at all.
The piercing pain didn't let up for a moment.
It went on and on, like a raging storm.
Under such terrible torment, Tang San could no longer hold on. His vision went black, and he fainted.
"Brother..."
The Shrek teachers and students were on tenterhooks.
Xiao Wu was so anxious she was nearly in tears.
"Dean Flender, Mom Erlong, Cao Mengde at Rejuvenation Hall cured my strange illness. Please believe me."
Xiao Wu didn't need to ask anyone else's opinion.
She could have taken Tang San there herself.
But the Shrek Seven Devils were a team, so she had asked everyone.
"This Tang San is far too stubborn."
Flender pushed up the glasses on his nose.
He scooped Tang San up from the ground and flew out of Spirit Hall.
Yu Xiaogang and the others followed close behind.
Tang San was the backbone of the team.
None of them wanted anything to happen to him, so they all followed.
Rejuvenation Hall, Spirit City.
"Lord Mengde, sorry for the trouble, but please hurry and examine Third Brother."
Xiao Wu spoke anxiously.
Cao Mengde looked at Tang San, whose eyes were tightly shut as Flender held him up.
Cao Mengde pointed at Tang San.
"I'm sorry."
"Even if my medical skills could reach the heavens, I, Cao Mengde, have no way to save a dead man."
A dead man?
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun were displeased.
They patiently explained,
"Third Brother only fainted."
And he called himself a divine physician?
Couldn't he even tell when someone had fainted?
"Huh? He's not dead?"
"Then what are you standing around for? Hurry and put the patient on the bed."
It was only natural.
Cao Mengde had said Tang San was dead
just to upset them.
As long as he had a chance, no matter how small, he wouldn't let it slip.
Looking at Tang San lying on the bed,
Xiao Wu explained his condition.
"Not long ago, Third Brother suddenly got a stomachache. It hurt so badly that he fainted. Lord Mengde, you have to save Third Brother."
Cao Mengde replied with a solemn expression.
"Say no more."
"Practicing medicine and saving lives is my duty."
Cao Mengde put on a show of taking Tang San's pulse.
"Hiss..."
"This is no ordinary stomachache."
"It's an accidental pregnancy."
At those words,
everyone froze.
Yu Xiaogang's face darkened.
"What nonsense are you spouting?"
"Little San is a boy. How could he possibly be pregnant?"
Seeing that Yu Xiaogang dared to question him,
Cao Mengde rolled his eyes at him.
"Who knows more, you or me?"
"Listen carefully. This is an accidental pregnancy, not a normal one."
"An accidental pregnancy is purely an accident. Never mind a man-even a tree or one of the chicken eggs you eat could become accidentally pregnant."
After listening to Cao Mengde's explanation,
Yu Xiaogang could not agree.
The resistance on his face was unmistakable.
"Utter nonsense."
"How could anything other than a woman become pregnant?"
As for this,
Cao Mengde dared to say so.
Naturally, he had some grounds for saying so. His grounds were the use of Gu to turn the impossible into the possible.
"Are you deaf?"
"I said it was an accidental pregnancy, an accident! Do you even understand what the word 'accident' means?"
"Hmph..."
Yu Xiaogang turned away coldly.
A man could get pregnant by accident?
It was truly unheard of and unseen.
Having been through it herself and seen Cao Mengde's medical skills, Xiao Wu could not help growing doubtful as well.
"Lord Mengde, did... did you make a mistake? Sorry to trouble you, but could you examine Third Brother again?"
To convince the others,
Cao Mengde took Tang San's pulse again.
"That's right."
"Tang San is indeed accidentally pregnant."
