Tang San, Who's Sick

"Hey, how can you talk like that?"

"You're the one who's sick! Your whole family is sick!"

Xiao Wu was no kind-hearted angel. As a Human-form Soul Beast, she was naturally somewhat willful and unruly. The moment she heard Gu Ye say that her brother Tang San was sick, she immediately snapped back at him.

The young married women waiting in line nearby were immediately displeased when they heard Xiao Wu insult Gu Ye.

They put their hands on their hips, their faces full of anger. "How can you talk like that, little girl? If Physician Gu says he's sick, then he must be sick."

"Exactly, exactly."

"This guy is definitely sick."

"He's your brother, right? He's definitely sick."

These young married women looked at Tang San and pointed at him. The moment Gu Ye said Tang San was sick, they had already decided that Tang San was indeed sick.

Because over the past three months, they had been completely won over by Gu Ye's medical skills.

"You people..."

Xiao Wu glared furiously at the women who claimed her brother Tang San was sick.

"Xiao Wu, they're just ignorant women. There's no need to mind them." Tang San tugged at Xiao Wu, then turned to Gu Ye and demanded coldly, "What makes you say I'm sick? If you can't give me a reason, then you can forget about keeping this Medical Hall open."

Gu Ye circled Tang San once before finally stopping in front of Tang San and Xiao Wu. "Because you're sick, and quite seriously at that." Gu Ye paused, then glanced at Xiao Wu. "You're the same. You're sick too."

"You're the one who's sick!"

Xiao Wu became even angrier upon hearing that.

She was perfectly healthy, so how was she sick?

Anyone would be unhappy if they were called sick upon meeting someone for the first time. In her anger, she instinctively raised her long leg clad in white stockings and attacked Gu Ye.

Tang San was calmer than Xiao Wu. He grabbed her hand and shook his head. "Xiao Wu, he's just a quack. He's not worth getting angry over. Let's go."

"But Brother, he actually called us sick. I can't swallow this insult. He has to apologize to me." Xiao Wu glared angrily at Gu Ye.

Tang San considered it and felt that she was right.

They had been called sick for no reason. He himself did not care much, but he could not allow anyone to say that about his little sister Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu was his reverse scale. He had once sworn that anyone who dared bully Xiao Wu would have to step over his corpse first.

To Tang San, who doted on his sister to an extreme, this was a provocation.

Tang San then turned toward Gu Ye and said coldly, "What makes you say we're sick? If you can't tell me exactly where I'm sick, apologize to my sister immediately. Otherwise..." Tang San stared at Gu Ye with ill intent. Whenever Xiao Wu was involved, he was not quite so kind.

So arrogant. As expected of Tang San. Gu Ye sneered inwardly.

That was right. The moment Gu Ye saw Tang San... no... he had known who they were the instant Tang San and Xiao Wu arrived outside his Medical Hall.

Because when Tang San and Xiao Wu appeared, his Surgical System had issued a mission.

This was the first mission he had received in the three months since he transmigrated.

Gu Ye felt a little excited as he looked at the mission issued by the Surgical System.

Name: Tang San

Identity: Transmigrator, protagonist of Douluo Continent, child of destiny

Strength: Level 29 Soul Grandmaster

Proficient in hidden weapons and poisons; possesses Tang Sect Secret Arts

Condition 1: Mild hemorrhoids

Condition 2: Kidney deficiency

Condition 3: Hypocrite

.

When Gu Ye saw those conditions, he was speechless. Tang San was proficient in poisons and was also a soul master, so he should not have such minor ailments. Yet Gu Ye trusted his system completely, and his own medical skills were excellent as well. He only needed to circle Tang San and take a look to confirm that Tang San really was sick.

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

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

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

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

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

Mission.

Looking at that series of missions, Gu Ye had initially been rather excited.

After all, the rewards numbered in the hundreds, thousands, and even tens of thousands. This was the first time he had seen anything like it.

But when he saw the later missions involving castration and sex-change surgery, Gu Ye seriously suspected that Tang San had offended the system somehow. Otherwise, why would it issue such inhumane missions?

Still... Gu Ye looked at the tens of thousands of Surgery Points, then glanced at a certain part of Tang San's body. His expression turned slightly solemn, and he was deeply tempted.

Seeing Gu Ye stare at him like that, Tang San felt deeply uncomfortable and demanded coldly, "Tell me, where am I sick?"

"Are you really going to say it here?" Gu Ye looked up at Tang San.

"If you can't say it, then apologize to my sister."

"Since you want to know, I'll tell you." Gu Ye sighed. The moment he saw the Surgery Points reward, he had secretly made a decision.

If he got the chance, he would definitely give the ailing Tang San a splendid castration surgery and earn those thousands, even tens of thousands, of Surgery Points. Otherwise, he would be letting down his identity as a transmigrator.

Now that Tang San was so eager to know about his own illness, how could Gu Ye not fulfill his wish?

Gu Ye then pointed at Tang San's buttocks and waist and declared loudly, "You have two ailments. First, hemorrhoids. Second, kidney deficiency."

When Tang San heard that, his eyes widened slightly as he stared at Gu Ye.

When Xiao Wu heard it, she instinctively glanced at her brother Tang San before looking back at Gu Ye with a face full of disdain.

The group of young married women snorted with laughter, then burst into undisguised laughter.

Hearing their mocking laughter and seeing the young married women staring suspiciously at a certain part of him, Tang San's old face flushed red.

Especially when he noticed that even his sister Xiao Wu had glanced at him. Though she would not believe Gu Ye's words, Tang San still felt humiliated and furious.

He turned to Gu Ye and said coldly, "Utter nonsense."

Then, Tang San grabbed Xiao Wu and turned to leave.

"Third Brother, was what he said true?" As they walked, Xiao Wu still could not help asking her brother Tang San.

"Xiao Wu, while I may not be an expert in medicine, I still know a thing or two. How could I possibly have that kind of illness? Besides, we're Soul Masters. Our constitutions are stronger than ordinary people's, so it's even more impossible."

Even if what Gu Ye said were true, Tang San would never admit it. What was more, he was not sick at all.

After thinking it over, Xiao Wu felt that made sense. Her brother Tang San was so strong; how could he have such minor ailments?

With that thought, Xiao Wu became even more convinced that Gu Ye was a quack and a fraud.

She had originally wanted to stop and tear down Gu Ye's signboard, but Tang San kept holding her hand and had no intention of stopping.

Seeing Tang San leave just like that, Gu Ye naturally could not allow it.

After all, Tang San was Surgery Points in his eyes right now. As long as he castrated him or gave him several injections of female hormones, would those thousands or tens of thousands of Surgery Points not be his? His overnight fortune depended on this one job.

Gu Ye then shouted loudly at Tang San, "Although you're a Soul Master and your constitution is somewhat stronger than an ordinary person's, it's only somewhat stronger. You're still young, and those illnesses are all mild. Most of them were caused by your irregular routine over the years, by sitting cross-legged for long periods and staying up late to cultivate. Even some Soul Masters cannot escape such ailments, and neither can you."

"If you don't want them to worsen and want to be cured, come find me. I guarantee the right medicine will cure the illness and give you back strong kidneys."

Tang San paused when he heard that, but the next moment, he walked even faster.

Seeing this, Gu Ye smiled in satisfaction. He believed that Tang San would definitely come looking for him again before long.

After all, as a Soul Master himself, Gu Ye understood the Soul Masters of Douluo Continent very well.

Although Soul Masters on Douluo Continent possessed Soul Power and had physiques somewhat stronger than ordinary people's, they were only somewhat stronger. They still had to eat, drink, relieve themselves, and sleep. And precisely because they could not avoid eating, drinking, relieving themselves, and sleeping, low-level Soul Masters naturally could not avoid minor ailments like hemorrhoids.

What was more, Tang San often stayed up late cultivating. Perhaps he even held that 100,000-year-old rabbit, Xiao Wu, day and night, doing all sorts of things. Mm-hmm, ah-hah. Then it was even more unavoidable.

As for certain kidney ailments, even if there were healing Soul Masters in this world, these were illnesses at the root. Some healing Soul Masters would be useless against them.

If someone like Tang San, who was proficient in the Tang Sect Secret Arts, could suffer from such ailments, there was no need to guess about everyone else.

Of course, Gu Ye's true purpose was not to treat Tang San, but those thousands and tens of thousands of Surgery Points.

As long as he obtained those Surgery Points, becoming rich overnight would be within reach.

However, Gu Ye was not foolish enough to make a move against Tang San immediately. His strength was still insufficient, not enough to stand against Tang Hao, who had always been protecting Tang San.

Therefore, the path of plotting against Tang San and giving him a splendid castration surgery was still a long way off.

But he was not in a hurry. There would always be an opportunity.
