Long Yu held out his right hand, as he helped Cheema to stand on her feet, before giving a small bow to her, "I Long Yu humbly apologize to you, Princess Cheema, those assailants were after me yet I foolishly got you involved, I hope you will forgive my insolence."
Meanwhile Cheema's brain was going haywire, the aura specially Long Yu's divine body's aura was making her want to submit to Long Yu to obey him as her Emperor, her alpha to worship him as her God.
She somehow managed to say, "It is completely fine your Highness, and please have my gratitude for protecting my life.", as she gave a bow to Long Yu.
Long Yu meanwhile was startled, 'Highness, why did she call me highness, only during my visit to Shangri-la headquarters was I addressed as one, but currently I am going incognito did she figure out my real identity I have to be careful.', as he stiffly nodded at Cheema.
Long Yu: "Well I will have to operate on this poor people, for that I need some space, and more people, at least four for each person, do not worry I need to make some preparation before the operation as I have to operate them at the same time, else if I do one by one it will be too late to save them. Oh and also please get me the ingredients I have written in this list", as he gave a rather long list of ingredients this time.
Cheema: "I understand I will try finish preparation on my side", as she led Long Yu to an empty large room before leaving him alone.
Long Yu took a deep breath, he was about to do something which he had read in passing from a book in Ayindril, he was curious and asked a few questions about it to his masters, he understood the theory but never got to see it work practically, this is going to test him about the knowledge of medicines and array to the fullest.
Meanwhile back in Ayindril,
Xiao Xiao smiled proudly at Ryuu aka Long Yu's battle prowess, but still frowned seeing his ruthlessness, " Really, a hundred years genius, and yet making such silly, completely beginner like mistake, it never sizes to amuse me how people from such ….. well if I were to borrow my child's words,' big frog in small bucket', becomes so arrogant with a little bit of power, but do you think Ryuu will be able to save them."
Veena: "hmmm, if Ryuu gives his all he will definitely be able to save their lives, but it will be a tough may be the toughest challenge till date for Ryuu, but I trust him he will be able to pull through. Although completely curing them is another matter altogether, those mutations are semi-permanent, and I doubt anyone below Immortal level, can help them, even that person should have a very thorough understanding of alchemy and physiology. hmmm", as she mused carefully on Ryuu's patients before sighing in defeat, "Ryuu should euthanize them, even if they are saved it will be living hell for them. That mongrel, Ryuu should have skinned him alive."
Nuwa: "As much as you may want Ryuu to skin him, he is only able do so much because of the array used by Sylvana and the Divine Body."
Xiao Xiao: "So true."
Celestia," Still he has been performing remarkably. I just hope he is able to defeat the 'Empress' without any incident."
Ryuu/ Long Yu had finished his preparations a long time, he was meditating trying to remember every bit of knowledge to heal and save the lives, he himself knew it would be near miraculous even if he goes all out to save them, but the physical deformities and mutations, there was no way he could cure them, and in some cases the patient might be better off be dead the amount of pain they have to suffer just trying to stay alive, is he doing the right thing?
Tina: "Yu may we come in", as they knocked on the door asking for permission to enter.
Long Yu took a deep breath, in order to put away his insecurities, before giving them permission to enter.
Jessie: "We were looking for you, after the fiasco with that fool, how are you holding up."
Long Yu: "I am fine."
Tina: "You are anything but fine, tell us what happened.", giving a look which meant no nonsense.
Long Yu gave a sigh before answering, "That man he, he did many bad things, all those he treated cannot be cure, heck saving their life will be near miraculous, as for curing those mutations and whatnot, is not possible at least by my knowledge, even if I save them they will be in so much pain, it would seem merciful to grant them death, I do not know what to do, I could give them rest and peace by euthanasia but I would be killing innocents I do not know what to do."
They were startled to hear it, they had no idea that so called once a century genius had caused such a problem, Bashista kneeled beside Long Yu, "I think the decision should rest on the family members, just explain to them, let them decide."
Long Yu, spoke for few minutes before he went to address the family or any relative of the patients.
When he went near the sick room where they were resting, he saw a large commotion, as they were trying to waiting patiently for Long Yu to treat them.
Long Yu stood near the doorway cleared his throat bringing everyone's attention towards him, being the center of undivided attention he noticed all those hopeful eyes locked on to him and now he was going to disappoint them breaking the bad news to them never in his entire life has he felt so ashamed of himself, Bashista standing behind just gave his shoulder a small squeeze, "Hello everyone my name is Long Yu and I know many of you are waiting patiently for me to cure your loved ones, I assure I can save their life with ease, but I am ashamed to announce in front all of you, about my inability to cure them of their mutations, they are beyond my current knowledge.", a commotion erupted amongst them, but before they could speak Long Yu began addressing them. " The mutations caused by the quack is very bad, even if their lives are saved they will never lead a normal life, their life will now be filled with pain so painful that they might even kill themselves to get rid of it. So, I will ask you whether you want them to survive and live a painful life or do you want them to pass on peacefully when they are comatose please tell me your choice at most I can give you an hour to decide more than that I won't be able to save them."
Everyone present except the Shadow Wolves were horrified at what they heard people started screaming, shouting, some even started blaming Long Yu, meanwhile during the entire chaos Long Yu stood silently his head bowed, currently he found the floor more exciting at that moment, tears started to form in his eyes. His teammates were pissed, this overgrown beasts and animals, can't they see the child is trying his hardest how could they demean him like that.
Suddenly the communication tag inside his pocket vibrated, Long Yu quickly picked it up, "Hel…", he was cut off from a panicked voice from the other end, "Hello is anyone from Head Quarters responding, please respond."
Long Yu recognized the voice to be Mingke's, "Mingke please respond what happened?"
Mingke: "Brother, we are surrounded the Empress is herself leading the charge from the east, they will reach Head Quarters within a few hours, please warn them."
Long Yu: "I understand brother, please fall back and retreat to a safe place try to stay hidden until everything is over."
Mingke: "HAHAHAHAHA, sorry brother but this will be our last stand, kid if you survive grow strong and live for us, hahahahaha. ", with that the connection was cut.
Long Yu: "Hello Migke Mingke can you hear me....., damn the connection is gone."
By then most people of the cavern, were listening a panic erupted among them, only to be squashed by a bellowing voice as an aura of rank 5th Wanxiang Adept flooded the system, "Silence!", at that everyone was quite, as everyone eyes went towards a feminine Gorilla, "Mother", a choked sobbed came from Cheema and Cheeta, the female looked at them with a kind smile, before giving a stern look towards Long Yu, who winced at seeing how grotesque the right side of the gorilla looked because of all thos swelling and pus. The gorilla spoke, "Boy can you fix us enough to fight in this war."
Long Yu was startled, "Yes but I do not….."
Female Gorilla: "Boy, I do not care what you think, just fix me and my fellow household, we are warriors, we die in battlefield not lying in some hospital bed, and now hurry up will ya."
Long Yu was stunned, not only him everyone present were stunned hearing the declaration of the warrior, this gorilla reminded him of his mom fearless to the end, so he gave her a smile, "Understood your Highness, I will fix you up as good as new, and thank you."
With that he quickly started giving orders to others as he helped situate the patients in order to operate. 'That woman cleared my doubt, I will heal them I will fix them, they are warriors how could I insult them through euthanasia, they are immortals who exists in battlefield', with new vigor he began his job.
