Outside the Medical Hall, Dai Mubai suddenly realized he could move again.
He quickly got to his feet. Thinking of the intimate posture between Gu Ye and Zhu Zhuqing just now, the rage he had been suppressing made him instinctively want to rush inside and settle the score with Gu Ye.
But when he remembered that Gu Ye's strength could easily crush him, he knew he was no match for Gu Ye at his current level. Besides, Tang San had been inside for so long without coming out. Had something happened to him too?
At that thought, he hesitated. Then he backed down. Finding himself a good excuse, he hurriedly left the Medical Hall and ran back toward Shrek Academy.
He was going to get reinforcements before coming back to regain his dignity.
Dai Mubai always remembered something Dean Flender had told him: a Soul Master who dared not cause trouble was no good Soul Master.
Now he had caused trouble, but he could not handle it himself. Under such circumstances, he naturally had to let Flender, a Soul Sage, come and help him save face.
As Dai Mubai left, Tang San, led by Gu Ye, arrived at another room in the rear courtyard of the Medical Hall.
"Go sit down." Gu Ye spoke to Tang San, then walked over to the medicine shelf and picked up some medicine and several special items.
Many of the items on his medicine shelf resembled the medicines from his previous life, except these were all produced by the Surgical System and were far more effective.
For the Douluo Continent, a fantasy backwater, the medicines produced by his system were practically divine medicine.
As for estrogen, it could easily help Tang San grow bigger and become more beautiful.
And even if Gu Ye placed the estrogen right in front of Tang San, he would not know what it was.
However, Gu Ye was not foolish enough to inject a large amount of hormones into Tang San all at once.
If the dosage was excessive, Tang San's changes would definitely be obvious to others.
Then Tang Hao, that Tang Ritian, might come knocking. With Gu Ye's current strength, he would be completely incapable of facing him. That would be troublesome.
Moreover, with Tang San's personality as an ancient man from the Tang Sect, he definitely would not trust him so easily.
So Gu Ye made a decision: take it slowly and play it safe.
For example, he could start with a small goal—give Tang San a small dose first, so he could experience the wonders of estrogen.
At that thought, a smile appeared on Gu Ye's face.
As Tang San sat nearby, he examined the strange room while Gu Ye fetched things from the medicine shelf.
It was similar to the apothecaries in his memories, yet he had never seen any of the medicines on the shelves. He could not recognize a single one.
For instance, the syringe Gu Ye was holding. Wait, a syringe?
Tang San stared at the syringe in Gu Ye's hand and quickly recalled the one Zhu Zhuqing had injected into Zhao Wuji's body yesterday. He realized the two were exactly the same.
Then, remembering that Zhu Zhuqing had visited this Medical Hall, he guessed that Gu Ye had given her that syringe.
Next, Tang San recalled that even Zhao Wuji, a Soul Sage, had been unable to escape the effects of that injection yesterday. His guard immediately rose.
If Gu Ye gave him one too, and he became unable to move, would he not be completely at the other man's mercy?
With his vigilance aroused, Tang San immediately stood up and said, "Physician Gu, I still have some matters to attend to. I won't need treatment for now."
With that, Tang San fled as if escaping.
He had discovered that this Medical Hall was far too mysterious. He did not recognize a single medicine Gu Ye used. Who knew whether Gu Ye might use something on him recklessly?
Tang San's sudden change of mind left Gu Ye stunned. He had just agreed to be treated, so why had he suddenly changed his mind? Gu Ye looked at the syringe filled with estrogen in his hand, then at Tang San as he walked out.
Had he become suspicious?
Or did Tang San know that this was estrogen that could make him more beautiful? That should be impossible, right?
Watching Tang San leave the room, Gu Ye did not stop him, because he was not sure whether Tang Hao was nearby watching him.
Since Tang San was not willingly accepting treatment, Gu Ye would not make a move. Compared to safety, it was better to save this dose of estrogen for now.
"Tang San!"
"Zhu Zhuqing!"
Tang San, who had just walked out of the rear room and into the main hall of the Medical Hall, was somewhat surprised to see Zhu Zhuqing.
Likewise, Zhu Zhuqing was somewhat surprised to see Tang San.
"Where is Gu Ye? He's inside, right?"
Zhu Zhuqing did not think much about why Tang San was here. Right now, she only wanted to see Gu Ye, because she had noticed the changes in herself as soon as she woke up.
Not only had her Soul Power broken through to level thirty, but her Martial Soul had also undergone profound changes. She was now certain that what Gu Ye had said before was true.
"He's inside. But Zhu Zhuqing, weren't you at Shrek Academy? Why are you here?" Tang San seemed unwilling to let Zhu Zhuqing know why he had come here, and his question was somewhat cautious.
"I have some matters to attend to." Zhu Zhuqing paid Tang San no further attention. Compared to Gu Ye, Tang San was not worth much of her concern.
After all, she had no relationship with Tang San now, while she had already had contact with Gu Ye.
Yes, Zhu Zhuqing had remembered how she had bitten and injured Gu Ye before, and how she had later fainted in Gu Ye's arms.
Zhu Zhuqing then walked past Tang San and entered the room in the rear courtyard.
Tang San watched Zhu Zhuqing enter but did not leave.
Inside the rear courtyard room, Gu Ye instantly forgot about Tang San when he saw Zhu Zhuqing enter. Smiling, he asked, "You're awake. How do you feel?"
"Good." Zhu Zhuqing nodded. She looked at Gu Ye's shoulder and asked softly, "Is your injury all right?"
"I'm fine." Gu Ye shook his head, walked over to Zhu Zhuqing, took her hand, and carefully checked her pulse.
"Your pulse is steady. The martial soul fusion went very smoothly, and your Soul Power has already broken through level thirty. Your foundation is solid. Congratulations, Zhu Zhuqing. Once you obtain another soul ring, you'll be a Soul Elder. As for the changes to your martial soul, you'll need to discover those yourself."
"Thank you," Zhu Zhuqing said gratefully.
She and Gu Ye had only known each other for two days, yet Gu Ye had helped her so much. After all these years, Zhu Zhuqing was experiencing for the first time the kind of sincere concern that came from another person—the kind without even a trace of ulterior motive.
"No need to thank me. After all, I'm going to take a drop of your blood. Besides, this is the result of you cooperating with my experiment of integrating Martial Soul Blood into your martial soul, so you don't need to be grateful to me."
Gu Ye spoke rather loudly, as if deliberately saying it for someone to hear.
That someone was naturally Tang San outside.
After seeing Zhu Zhuqing enter, Tang San had remained standing by the door.
The moment he overheard some of Gu Ye and Zhu Zhuqing's conversation, he was stunned.
Especially when he learned that Zhu Zhuqing had broken through level thirty.
He clearly remembered that when Zhu Zhuqing registered yesterday, she had been level twenty-seven. Breaking through to level thirty in just two days—how could he not be shocked?
Then, when he heard Gu Ye mention that Zhu Zhuqing had taken Martial Soul Blood, Tang San, hearing of such a thing for the first time, continued listening curiously.
Inside the room, Gu Ye and Zhu Zhuqing chatted for quite a while before finally walking out.
As soon as he emerged, Gu Ye saw that Tang San was still there and pretended not to know. "Didn't you leave?"
"Well..." Tang San did not know how to answer. Then he looked at Zhu Zhuqing and instantly came up with an excuse. "I'm waiting for Zhu Zhuqing. She's a student of Shrek Academy now, so we're classmates. I thought I'd wait and head back with her."
"Oh, I see." Gu Ye nodded as though he understood.
Then he looked at Tang San and smiled. "Remember, you're always welcome to come to me for treatment. But let me kindly remind you: some illnesses can't be delayed. The longer you put them off, the worse they become. This concerns your future happiness."
Gu Ye was determined not to stop until he injected Tang San with the Heart of Estrogen, and he spoke with utmost sincerity.
