After General Xiao heard the unexpected news, he was surprisingly calm while he faced the crying and kneeling servant in front of him.
He then slowly turned to look at Zhao Ling with a pleading gesture.
"Doctor Ling, I beg of you to please cure my daughter. I will reward you with anything you want."
'anything? Hmm.. Interesting'
"General Xiao, although my title is known to be extraordinary when it comes to the knowledge of medicine. But, I am still a mortal not a God, after all I can't cure a dead person."
When Old Xiao heard what Zhao Ling said, he completely lost all hope. He kneeled down in front of Zhao Ling, which shocked plenty of doctors who had follow them to witness the Spirit Doctor do her job. Old Xiao then proceeded to plead in front of the calm girl with a shaky voice.
"Miss Zhao, please. Xiao Xiu is my only daughter, and I have spoiled her rotten, I only wish for her to live happily and be able to enjoy her teenage years. Miss Zhao, I beg of you to cure my daughter" Completely throwing away his pride and position, the pleading voice of the old general was heard and the atmosphere was quiet. They were waiting for the calm girl's response, which shocked them.
The girl chuckled? Was she humiliating the General??
But the General didn't mind, as long as the girl in front of him can cure his beloved daughter, then he'll sacrifice anything, whether it's his riches or his pride, he'll do anything for his daughter!
Looking down at the loving father kneeling in front of her, she sighed of sadness.
Back in her past life, she never felt the loving embrace of a mother nor a father. Every time her school would hold these fathers day ceremonies, she would just stand there and watch as her classmates have fun with their fathers.
She would just stand there idly or help her teachers for preparation. She was really lonely in her past life ah! I really felt jealous for this miss Xiu, to be able to grab her father's whole love, it must be nice..
'sigh, such wonderful father'
[Host, are you gonna save her?]
'of course! I'm not as heartless as you.'
[...fufu is not heartless]
Completely disregarding her system's lying statements. She finally replied to the pleading man in front of her.
"This Doctor will try her very best to treat Miss Xiu. General Xiao, lead me to her now" She said while helping the thankful general to stand up.
The General wasted no time and ordered his trusty subordinates to let the doctors wait in front of the courtyard while he led Ling to his daughter.
Although the doctors were quite displeased that they couldn't watch the Spirit Doctor, they knew better than to complain to the frightening General. They could only wait outside and hope for a miracle to come.

Inside the room..
Miss Xiu's mother, Madame Zhu Yun, looked at the Spirit Doctor who was scanning her daughter, with hopeful eyes. She pleaded every night to the gods above to cure her dying daughter, it turned out that they heard her prayers and sent a Spirit Doctor. She was delighted.
'Fufu, have you scanned her? What's wrong with her?' Ling asked the System in her mind.
[Fufu, successfully scanned the target. Reveal the data?]
'reveal'
[target: Miss Xiao Xiu
Condition: Critical
Problem: Miss Xiu had contracted a deadly virus that can only be found on a specific animal. The virus had already entered her nervous system and poisoned most of her blood, the virus has a special ability in which it can act like a blood cell, and thus it has been remaind unnoticed by countless of experts.
Solution: Acupuncture near the bridge of the nose and in between her first and second toes on the left foot. With the help of strong herbs that is found in your inventory, press the herbs on the area where you inserted a needle. Forcefully push out the virus with the help of your spiritual power. Once successful, the virus would be let out on the left foot, where you placed a needle. Green blood would come out, and you need to trap it in a container to avoid further spreading.]
'That's a lot'
Despite the sudden pressure on her, she still did what the System had ordered.
Using the needles that she asked, she put 5 needles on the bridge of Xiu's nose and 5 needles around the first and second toes of Xiu's left foot.
She grabbed the right herbs, that she won on the wheel of fortune, from her inventory and gently pressed it on the areas where the needles were placed. She then used her spiritual power to further forcefully pushed the stubborn virus out of the target's body.
She did this for 8 hours, and after the painstakingly long hours of her life, she finally was beginning to see bits of green blood on the left foot of the victim. But this wasn't enough, and the virus was still in the victim's blood circulation.
It had already been morning the next day when she finished curing the victim. She checked her pulse and like a miracle, it started beating again! The girl is alive!
She went outside to tell the worried and sleepless parents that their daughter is alive and cured. She walked out of the room and scanned the rather crowded courtyard.
It seemed like the General's sons had arrived.
She went down the stairs calmly. The people then ran towards her to obtain some news about the miss. She looked at them and calmly replied.
"Miss Xiao Xiu has been cured. I've already wrote some prescriptions and made some tonics for her to take and recover smoothly."
Hearing the news, everyone was delighted and started praising the pale young Doctor in front of them.
"Miss Zhao Ling is indeed so talented to be able to make a dead person alive!"
"Miss Zhao Ling is the best doctor in the entire kingdom!"
"Long live Miss Zhao! She is indeed a miraculous doctor"
Hearing the delighted shouts of the people around her, she smiled. But then her vision became blurry and she started to stumble on her footsteps.
'Fufu what's happening?'
[You overused your spiritual power from last night. Host you need to sleep and restore your energy]
While the people were celebrating. The General's Third Son, Xiao Zhu, noticed the pale doctor's condition. He then asked the servants to prepare a room for Miss Zhao and escorted her to a room to rest.
Xiao Zhu, General Xiao's Third Son.
Xiao Zhu, is skilled in both literacy and martial arts. He is known as the top third most handsome young master in the Jiangyan Country. Not only is he talented in poetry, music, and arts, he has also shown an incredible talent in martial arts. He is very cunning and would sometimes love to play pranks on everyone.
He was on another province when he heard that his beloved sister, whom he also spoils, was very sick and could die at any moment. Without thinking, he rushed back to the capital to see his sister. But because of the Emperor's orders, he could only sit and wait for good news.
Xiao Zhu looked at the girl in front of her who could faint any moment, but still refused to be touched by him. He wonders if he was that dirty that this fragile maiden could refuse his kind gesture.
Interesting...
Xiao Zhu is not only known for being talented, but also being known as the most famous playboy on the capital. Together with the Thrid Prince and the Duke's Second son. They were known as the hearth throbs of the Kingdom. Everywhere they go, both men and women fall down on their knees just by witnessing their charming auras..
But this girl in front of her, kept refusing any kind gesture that he shown towards her. Not even small talks! He didn't know that Spirit Doctors could actually be this boring, he had never seen one. Other than on legends.
Sigh, I guess I just have to patiently wait.

'Fufu, I feel a very dark aura coming from somewhere. Who the f**k is following me?!'
[Host is currently being followed by the Xiao's hidden guards, the Third son of the General, The Demon's Gate Cult's hidden Black Knights.. And the leader of The Bloody eye Faction, Mo Li.]
'What's there problem?!'
[fufu, cannot sense their intention]
___
"Master, I have followed your orders on observing the young maiden" In a dark hall, somewhere within a large mountain cave. A young man with a jade mask was seated in the throne while looking at the young assassin kneeling in front of him.
"Report. What did she do the whole day?" The masked man asked solemnly.
Feeling the masked man's aura, the young black clothed man hurriedly answered his question.
"The first day that maiden stepped foot in the capital, she stole an apple from a child. Nothing suspicious, besides stopping every once in awhile and zoning out."
"She then went to the Xiao's residence.."
The masked man frowned while hearing the name.
'Xiao residence? Why would she be there?'
"Continue." the masked man ordered.
"She cured the first miss of the Xiao's. It turns out, she was actually a Spirit Doctor" Even the black clothed man couldn't believe what he just said.
But it was true. The young maiden whom he had followed for the whole day, whom he witnessed shamelessly steal from a kid..was suddenly...a infamous Spirit Doctor? He couldn't believe it!
But the masked man showed no emotion as always. He dismissed the black clothed man and he thought to himself for a second.
'Spirit Doctor? Hmm interesting.. Who knew that foolish girl could hold such a title.'
___
"Achooo!"
[Host should rest or else you'd get a cold]
'Aya, is Fufu worried about me? ;-)'
[I'm worried about you..not completing tasks because of your weak body..don't waste points host]
I really need a refund.. QQ
