"Physician Gu truly had miraculous hands."

"Yes, he only had to move his hands a little, and my illness was cured."

"I really want him to treat me again."

"Me too."

"By the way, miss, what illness did you have?"

"This... how could I possibly say that?"

"We're both women. What's there to be embarrassed about?"

"It was... that women's illness."

"What a coincidence, me too."

"Physician Gu's skills were truly incredible. He really cured me just by moving his hands."

"Yes! His hands are amazing."

Douluo Continent, Suotuo City. Two young married women reluctantly walked out of a medical hall called Hand of God.

When they reached the entrance, the two women recalled the process of Physician Gu treating them. Their eyelids drooped, their eyes half-lidded with allure, and a rippling spring smile rested on their lips. They were clearly still savoring the experience.

"Move aside, move aside! Don't block the way. We still need to go in for treatment!"

"That's right! One look and you can tell you're a pair of sluts coveting Physician Gu's looks."

"Exactly! It's because sluts like you keep harassing Physician Gu all day that those of us who actually need treatment have to wait so long."

"Exactly! I still haven't gotten to be treated by Physician Gu's hands. I..."

Outside the Hand of God Medical Clinic, the many young married women lined up in a long queue kept shouting at the two women blocking the entrance.

Some of the women even wished they could throw the pair out immediately.

The beautiful young woman at the very front was even sobbing miserably. One glance was enough to tell that her illness was serious.

Seeing this, the two young women who had been savoring the experience lowered their heads, raised their eyes, swept a glance over the women in line, rolled their eyes at them, then gave a proud huff before turning to leave.

"Next."

At that moment, a man's voice came from inside the medical hall.

The moment she heard it, the beautiful young woman at the front stopped crying. "It's finally my turn." Swaying her waist, she rushed into the medical hall as though afraid someone would steal her place.

As soon as she entered, the beautiful young woman did nothing unnecessary. She hurried into the Treatment Room, skillfully lay down on the bed, and waited for Physician Gu to arrive and treat her.

Soon after, a handsome man dressed in a White Lab Coat walked in.

His attire looked utterly out of place in Suotuo City, or even in the Douluo World.

Yet to the beautiful young woman on the bed, the man approaching her was like a firefly in the night—so outstanding, so different, so irresistibly attractive.

"Physician Gu, my chest... feels a little uncomfortable."

The beautiful young woman suddenly lay on her side, one hand covering her chest and the other lightly shading her eyes. She secretly watched the man in the White Lab Coat from the corner of her eye, a flirtatious gleam surfacing in her gaze.

"It's you. Didn't you come yesterday?" The man glanced at the young woman and recognized her as the one who had come the day before. His eyes showed a hint of helplessness.

"Physician, my illness was cured yesterday, but today my chest feels uncomfortable again."

"Tell me about your symptoms."

"Mhm!"

Delight flashed in the beautiful young woman's eyes. She described her condition word by word, wishing time would slow down so she could have enough time to make every feeling in her heart clear to this handsome physician.

As the handsome man in the White Lab Coat listened, the helplessness in his eyes deepened.

His name was Gu Ye. Three months ago, he had still been an elite graduate from a medical university on Blue Star, preparing to enter society and enjoy its harsh beating.

In an accident, he had transmigrated to Douluo Continent.

When he had first transmigrated, he had been utterly panicked. But once he learned that he had come to the world of Douluo Continent, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, he knew the novel Douluo Continent quite well. He understood all about how Douluo Continent was called the sewer of fantasy worlds, the safest haven for countless transmigrators, and a gathering place for peerless beauties.

He still clearly remembered how, when the Douluo animation first came out, the breathtaking beauty of several women had sent its popularity soaring.

Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and Zhu Zhuqing were three women Gu Ye had firmly remembered.

Now that he had transmigrated into this world, if he ever had the chance, he would definitely perform a... magnificent surgery with those women and let them understand the true meaning of life.

When he first arrived in this world, one thing left Gu Ye rather helpless. He had transmigrated into someone else's body. Although the original owner had been extraordinarily handsome, with looks fit for the heavens and a face so handsome it practically repelled women, his talent had been utterly ordinary.

The Martial Soul awakened by the original owner was something Gu Ye knew very well: a seemingly ordinary yet incredibly special blade, a Surgical Blade.

This blade might have seemed completely ordinary to the people of this world, but to Gu Ye, a physician who understood Human Anatomy and possessed medical skills that could shake the ages, it was an immensely powerful Martial Soul.

Over the past three months, relying on the medical knowledge from his previous life and his miraculous Martial Soul Surgical Blade, he had opened a medical hall in Suotuo City. His reputation had spread far and wide, and countless patients came seeking his treatment.

But what left Gu Ye helpless was that because his appearance was simply too striking, eight or nine out of every ten people who came to him were women.

And most of them were young married women.

Gu Ye was helpless. He was a decent man and had no interest in these young married women. He was not some Cao fellow.

But he could not refuse to treat them, because treating these young married women allowed him to grow stronger.

That was right. Like countless transmigrators, Gu Ye possessed a cheat: the Surgical System, a system closely connected to his Surgical Blade Martial Soul.

As long as he used his Martial Soul Surgical Blade or medical skills to treat someone, he could receive corresponding increases in Soul Power and Surgery Points. He could then use Surgery Points to exchange for items in the Surgery System Shop.

In short, as long as he treated illnesses, Gu Ye could grow stronger.

Over these three months, in order to increase his strength and accumulate Surgery Points, Gu Ye had not hesitated to go against his conscience and treat the special illnesses of countless young married women.

Gu Ye looked at the young woman lying on the bed with an expression of enjoyment. After quietly listening to her describe her so-called symptoms, he treated the beautiful woman just as he had yesterday.

Gu Ye's treatment method was very ordinary. He merely moved his hands a little, and in only a few minutes, he had cured the beautiful young woman.

Then he heard a notification from the system, like an Alipay payment alert: "Congratulations. Five Surgery Points received."

Looking at the five Surgery Points, then at the beautiful young woman lying on the bed with a satisfied expression, Gu Ye let out a long sigh inwardly.

He was rather speechless about this system as well.

During these three months of treatment, he had discovered that the system was rather picky—or perhaps it judged by appearance, or maybe by status.

Treating ordinary commoners gave the lowest reward, only one point. Those with slightly outstanding looks gave two points. Better-looking ones gave three points. But treating beautiful young married women skipped straight past four points and gave five.

He seriously suspected that this system had some Cao-thief tendencies.

"All right, you can leave now."

After collecting himself, Gu Ye spoke calmly to the beautiful young woman lying on the bed and refusing to leave.

Although the beautiful young woman was reluctant, for the sake of her long-term plans, she obediently left the medical hall.

After she left, Gu Ye continued treating the young married women waiting outside, earning Surgery Points.

At that moment, outside the Hand of God Medical Clinic.

A youth around twelve years old, dressed in blue clothes and pants with an ordinary appearance, passed by the medical hall.

The youth saw that the medical hall looked unremarkable, yet so many people were waiting in line for treatment, all with expectant expressions on their faces. Curious, he stopped.

"Hand of God. What an arrogant name. But if this medical hall can draw so many people for treatment, then this physician's skills must be impressive."

"Brother, I think this physician's skills are not impressive at all. He might even be a scoundrel who corrupts medical ethics."

"Xiao Wu, why do you say that?"

The youth looked doubtfully at the lovely girl beside him, who wore a pink dress, had a pair of rabbit ears on her head, and carried a small pouch at her waist.

The ordinary-looking youth and the cute girl were Tang San and Xiao Wu. Having graduated from Nuoding Academy, they had come to enroll at Shrek Academy under the guidance of their teacher, Yu Xiaogang.

"Brother, haven't you noticed that everyone waiting in line here is a woman? And every one of them is beautiful. There isn't even a single man." Xiao Wu looked at the young married women, becoming even more suspicious of the physician inside.

"This..." Tang San looked around and realized that it was true.

Other than women, there did not seem to be a single man.

Then Tang San habitually used his Purple Demon Eye to observe them. At a glance, his eyes widened slightly, because he discovered that these women were all young married women, either already married or newlywed.

With that in mind, Tang San looked again at the ordinary medical hall. Perhaps the physician inside really did have a problem.

"Brother, should we go in and take a look?" Xiao Wu asked.

"Mhm, we can."

Tang San was curious about the physician treating patients inside.

He had been in this world for a long time. The people he knew who treated illnesses were basically all Healing Soul Masters. This was his first time seeing such a medical hall, and one named Hand of God at that.

He came from the Tang Sect and was proficient in poison. Now that he had encountered a physician, he could take a look. If he discovered that the man was a fraud who ruined medical ethics, he could eliminate a threat for the people.

Tang San and Xiao Wu then tried to enter the medical hall.

But the next second, when the young married women in line saw Tang San and Xiao Wu trying to cut in, their gazes snapped toward them like those of vicious wolves.

The sudden change frightened Tang San and Xiao Wu.

Then the two of them were subjected to a barrage of criticism from the women.

"What are you trying to do?"

"Don't you know you can't cut in line to see a doctor?"

"You're so young, yet you already don't know how to behave. Who knows how your parents raised you?"

Tang San and Xiao Wu did not get angry when they heard the earlier remarks, but when these people mentioned their parents, Tang San immediately became somewhat enraged.

Born in ancient times, he had always respected teachers and elders. To him, his parents were a forbidden line that could not be crossed.

Just as he was about to teach the woman who had insulted his parents a lesson, a handsome man in a White Lab Coat walked out.

It was Gu Ye.

The moment Gu Ye appeared, the young married women completely ignored Tang San. Their burning gazes turned toward Gu Ye.

But Gu Ye did not look at them. Instead, he walked over to Tang San, smiled, and opened with, "Brother, you're sick."

A friendly reminder: this is a serious book, suitable for serious readers.

The book's defining feature: the further it goes, the more serious it becomes.
