Tang San Comes to See a Doctor

"Mm, not bad, not bad. As expected of Zhu Zhuqing—what a great figure."

"Pah! That came out wrong, wrong."

"The kitty was already so big, but after taking the serum and fusing with it, they actually got even bigger. As expected of Zhu Zhuqing—so big."

Gu Ye rubbed his chin and appraised the unconscious Zhu Zhuqing lying on the bed with a thoughtful look, praising her.

Zhu Zhuqing was currently unconscious. Her posture was alluring, her figure stunning, and her face even more breathtaking. In her current defenseless state, if some improper physician had been here instead, he might have already blindfolded Zhu Zhuqing and launched into a battle worthy of a dragon knight.

But Gu Ye was quite proper. He carefully examined every part of Zhu Zhuqing's body, observing the changes in her Hell Spirit Cat Martial Soul.

Meanwhile, Dai Mubai, whom Gu Ye had thrown out of the Medical Hall, was lying on the ground in a miserable state.

Although the three slaps Gu Ye had given him earlier had not injured him seriously, they had left him unable to move easily. That was entirely because Gu Ye had struck his vital spots each time. A mere Soul Elder like Dai Mubai had no way to resist.

Just as Dai Mubai struggled to get up and return to Shrek Academy to call for help and seek revenge on Gu Ye, a young man walked toward the Medical Hall.

It was Tang San.

Tang San had originally been strolling around Shrek village with Xiao Wu today. After meeting Ma Hongjun, they had gotten into a fight, and Tang San had noticed that something was off with his body. After returning to Shrek Academy, Xiao Wu had gone to find Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.

Tang San, now alone, returned to his room to check his body. He found that he really was feeling overheated and that something else seemed wrong, so he decided to seek out Gu Ye.

However, he was not here to see a doctor. He had merely come to ask Gu Ye about a few things.

After all, Tang San did not think he was sick.

"Is that... Dai Mubai?"

Upon arriving outside the Medical Hall, Tang San saw someone lying on the ground and crying out in pain. Only after looking closely did he realize it was Dai Mubai.

"Dai Mubai, what happened? Why are you lying here?" The puzzled Tang San hurried over, helped Dai Mubai up, and asked what had happened.

Then he noticed some strange injuries on Dai Mubai's body. After examining them, surprise appeared on his face.

Dai Mubai's injuries were not severe, but every single one had struck a vital area. Clearly, whoever had beaten Dai Mubai knew the human body extremely well.

"It was the physician inside," Dai Mubai said with difficulty.

"The physician inside?" Tang San looked toward the Medical Hall in confusion. Had Dai Mubai offended him or something? Otherwise, why would they have fought for no reason?

Tang San briefly used his Soul Power to help Dai Mubai recover, then said, "Dai Mubai, wait outside for now. I'll go in and see what's going on."

"Wait, Tang San—" Dai Mubai wanted to stop Tang San and have him take him back to the academy to call the teachers and help him regain his dignity. But Tang San seemed not to hear him and walked straight into the Medical Hall.

Unlike Dai Mubai earlier, Tang San did not barge in recklessly. He stopped at the entrance and called inside, "I am Tang San. I have business with the physician here. Might you come out so we may speak?"

After calling out, Tang San waited for a moment.

In the back courtyard room, when Gu Ye heard Tang San's voice, he instinctively looked toward the tasks related to Tang San.

Task One: Perform hemorrhoid surgery on Tang San. Reward: 50 Surgery Points

Task Two: Remove Tang San's deficient kidney. Reward: 100 Surgery Points

Task Three: Perform nerve surgery on Tang San. Reward: 500 Surgery Points

(Note: Hypocrisy is also an illness, and a serious one at that.) Task Four: Perform castration surgery on Tang San. Reward: 5,000 Surgery Points

Task Five: Perform sex-change* surgery on Tang San. Reward: 10,000 Surgery Points

Gu Ye immediately ruled out the first three tasks and looked at the fourth and fifth, the tasks that could earn him over ten thousand points in a single day.

Now that Tang San had come, it seemed he could make some plans.

Then, after thinking of a certain plan, Gu Ye walked out with a smile.

"Oh, isn't this the young fellow with kidney deficiency? What, do you believe what I said now?" Seeing Tang San, Gu Ye smiled amiably.

The moment Tang San heard Gu Ye call him a young fellow with kidney deficiency, his gaze darkened and he felt somewhat displeased. After all, he did not have such an illness.

However, he did not refute Gu Ye. Instead, he questioned, "Did you injure Dai Mubai?"

"You mean that kid lying outside? If so, then yes, I did hit him. What, are you here to avenge him?"

Tang San examined Gu Ye and discovered that his strength was unfathomable, so he shook his head.

He had only known Dai Mubai for a short time. Although he had joined Shrek Academy and could be considered Dai Mubai's classmate, they were not close.

Moreover, he had fought Dai Mubai before and understood his strength. Since Gu Ye could so easily knock Dai Mubai down, Tang San had no intention of standing up for him.

"Since you're not here to stand up for him, then you're here to see a doctor, right? Don't worry, kidney deficiency is only a minor ailment. As long as you want treatment, I can give you a strong kidney again." As Gu Ye spoke, he walked up to Tang San and gave him an honest smile.

He understood that young people like Tang San would surely be too embarrassed to admit they had kidney deficiency. But for the sake of earning over ten thousand points a day, Gu Ye would reluctantly help Tang San with his treatment—though that "treatment" deserved quotation marks.

Still, Tang San had to agree to the treatment voluntarily. Otherwise, if a certain Tang Hao came looking for him at night, it would be hard for him to explain.

Before he had the strength to protect himself, Gu Ye would not act recklessly.

Just like now, he had been keeping a low profile in Suotuo City in order to raise his strength.

Tang San hesitated for a moment before finally making a decision. He wanted to test whether Gu Ye's medical skills were truly as superb as the rumors claimed.

If they were, then what was the harm in letting him treat him? Then, Tang San secretly reached into his robes, quickly took out some poisonous powder, and released it toward Gu Ye.

It was a poison, one he used to test whether someone's medical skills were truly exceptional.

After administering the poison, Tang San smiled at Gu Ye. Filled with inexplicable confidence in his stealthy methods and the potency of his poison, he seemed already to see Gu Ye making a fool of himself shortly.

Tang San believed his movements had been well concealed, unaware that Gu Ye had seen everything clearly long ago.

The instant Tang San made his move to poison him, Gu Ye sneered inwardly. He became even more determined to inject Tang San with a dose of female hormones.

Then, silver light flashed in Gu Ye's hand, and an invisible space appeared. The poison Tang San had released was instantly neutralized.

To the Surgical Space, Tang San's poison was merely a type of medicine—utterly powerless against him.

After a moment, Tang San saw that Gu Ye had not changed in the slightest and felt somewhat surprised.

"Still want to poison me?" Gu Ye looked at Tang San with a smile, a trace of disdain hidden in his eyes.

"You knew I poisoned you?" Exposed by Gu Ye, Tang San frowned. However, he had a steady temperament and remained fairly calm before Gu Ye.

"You wanted to test whether I had a way to neutralize your poison, and while you were at it, test my medical skills. If I could cure it, then you'd decide whether to let me treat your kidney deficiency. Young man, I understand what you're thinking. Don't worry, I'll give you a strong pair of kidneys." Gu Ye put on the airs of an elder and patted Tang San on the shoulder.

Tang San instinctively tried to dodge, but Gu Ye's hand seemed capable of tracking him. No matter where he moved, he was still patted.

He was surprised by Gu Ye's methods and strength. At the same time, his wariness made him hurriedly inspect his own body. Only after finding nothing wrong did he relax.

"Your medical skills truly are impressive. That's right, I came to see you about an illness."

Tang San acknowledged Gu Ye's medical abilities and decided to let Gu Ye examine him. However, he would never admit that he was sick; after all, he was merely letting Gu Ye take a look.

Gu Ye smiled in satisfaction.

The day he injected Tang San with female hormones—or castrated him—was not far off.

"I have one condition for treating people: they must trust me completely. My medical skills are different from those of ordinary Healing Soul Masters. Healing Soul Masters can at most provide partial recovery, while I can restore a patient completely, treating the problem at its root. If you don't trust me, then there's no need for treatment."

"So, do you understand what I mean?" Gu Ye asked Tang San.

Tang San hesitated, weighing the truth of Gu Ye's words, before finally nodding.

"I trust you. But Dai Mubai outside is my classmate. Can you let him go?"

"Fine."

The lesson for Dai Mubai had already been enough. Since Gu Ye was not strong enough yet, he did not intend to go too far and agreed to Tang San's request.

Besides, in order to inject Tang San with female hormones and complete the task of earning over ten thousand a day, letting Dai Mubai go was nothing.

Gu Ye then raised his hand, and a streak of white light shot out of the Medical Hall.
