The work of a school doctor was actually quite relaxing—there wasn't much to do all morning. Bored, Tangyu could only flip through the medical books at leisure, yet the R-rated images of Xia Xiaoyu kept popping up in his mind. It wasn't until the end-of-school bell rang that Tangyu was pulled back to reality. Shaking his head and smiling faintly, he murmured, "Having seen her body, I suppose I should take responsibility." There was a hint of mischief in Tangyu's smile as he took off his lab coat and locked the door before heading outside the school.
Looking at these vibrant students, Tangyu involuntarily pursed his lips, feeling a twinge of nostalgia. If he were a few years younger, he wouldn't have minded experiencing school life again. Youth was truly wonderful.
Upon leaving Linshan Middle School's gates, he noticed a black Rolls-Royce Ghost parked not far away. Tangyu walked over and got into the car. As soon as he was inside, he couldn't help but glance at the person sitting next to him—a girl no less beautiful than Xia Xiaoyu.
In terms of figure, she was even more statuesque than Xia Xiaoyu. Especially dressed in attire that was noble yet had a hint of classic elegance, she exuded the demeanor of a princess.
Her aura was somewhat icy and aloof, which made people feel intimidated to approach her. The beautiful girl merely glanced at Tangyu and then turned her head away, saying, "Cheng Bo, let's go."
If any Linshan Middle School students were there, they would definitely recognize that this beauty was none other than Lin Feifei, one of the top three school beauties.
Of course, among the top three, Lin Feifei had always been the leader, as she had too many laurels to her name. Each one of those laurels was enough to make countless people green with envy. Just being the daughter of Donglin City's richest man was a status so formidable that it made others look up to her.
Even if Lin Feifei were very ugly, she would certainly not lack suitors; all the more so because she was a stunning beauty. Therefore, the number of male students pursuing Lin Feifei naturally topped Linshan Middle School's list.
"Yes, Miss," Cheng Bo, a man in his fifties with a kind face, replied.
"You don't look very well today," Tangyu suddenly remarked.
Lin Feifei merely gave Tangyu a bland look and remained silent, as if to tell him, "It's none of your business."
However, Tangyu was unfazed by Lin Feifei's coldness and continued, "This is a sign of an upcoming attack. It seems that you'll suffer an early onset this month. If this continues, you'll be in great danger. You should still consider letting me treat you."
"No way," Lin Feifei quickly refused, without the slightest bit of hesitation, biting her lip and looking indifferently at Tangyu.
"Alright then, forget I mentioned it," Tangyu said, shaking his head lightly and saying no more.
Cheng Bo, who was driving the car, also couldn't help but look back and heaved a sigh. The young lady's illness had tormented her for so many years, and now that they finally seemed to have a Divine Doctor who could potentially cure her, she stubbornly refused.
Thinking of the condition required to treat the young lady's illness, Cheng Bo silently sighed. Was there really no other way but this?
The rest of the journey was silent, and after about ten minutes, the car stopped inside a luxurious villa. As soon as the car stopped, Lin Feifei got out quickly, as if not wanting to stay with Tangyu for another second.
"What a stubborn girl. Does she really not care about her own life?" Tangyu touched his nose with a light smile and alighted from the car as well.
As he walked into the restaurant, a delicious aroma hit him, instantly arousing Tangyu's appetite. Where in Ghost Doctor Valley, where he followed his master, would he have such days? He didn't hold back and began to eat heartily.
Lin Feifei seemed to have little appetite, and after eating only a few bites, she went straight upstairs to rest.
"Master Tang, how is the young lady?" As Lin Feifei ascended the stairs, Cheng Bo approached, respectfully seeking information from Tangyu.
Tangyu's expression immediately became serious as he said, "The situation is getting more severe. It's just a week into this month, and there are already signs of an episode. At this rate, I'm afraid she won't last two months. If I'm not mistaken, she must be almost eighteen. A Yin Ghost Physique can only endure two Grand Circulations, an interval of ninety-nine years, hence if she refuses to cooperate with my treatment, she won't live past eighteen. By my estimation, she will start to suffer an attack today. Even while sitting in the car earlier, I could feel bursts of Yin Ghost Qi already emerging from her body."
Cheng Bo's face instantly tightened with grave anxiety as he said, "Master Tang, you must find a way to save our young miss."
Tangyu shook his head and replied, "Cheng Bo, as you should know, it's not that I refuse to save her, it's that she won't agree to the treatment. There's no other way besides this one. Even if I were to ask my master to intervene, this would still be the only option. If you want to save her, you'll have to persuade her yourself. It's really not a big deal; I won't disrespect her in any way, and this treatment actually requires significant sacrifice on my part. If it were up to Uncle Lin's persuasion, I wouldn't even want to leave the mountains."
"Uh…" Cheng Bo glanced at Tangyu, thinking that when it comes to sacrifice, shouldn't it be the young lady who's actually sacrificing something?
"Very well, Master Tang, I'm going to bring the master back now, hoping he can convince the young miss," Cheng Bo said, before hurrying off.
Tangyu, unapologetically, surveyed the barely-touched feast on the table and began to wolf down the food. After eating his fill, his ears suddenly twitched, a grave expression crossed his face, and he swiftly made his way upstairs to Lin Feifei's room. Listening carefully, he could hear the pained groans emanating from the room.
"Hmm, what's happening? It's starting so soon? Could it be earlier than I calculated?" Tangyu raised his eyebrows slightly and knocked on the door, saying, "Miss Lin, are you having another episode?"
"I'm fine. Leave me alone, ah—" Lin Feifei's weary voice came through.
"It seems you really are suffering an attack, and this time your condition is very serious. If you don't receive treatment promptly, you could die," Tangyu said earnestly.
"Go away; I don't want your treatment," Lin Feifei's voice was still determined, yet tinged with pain.
Tangyu shook his head and said, "Miss Lin, why must you do this? You're throwing your life away when you're so young with so much promise ahead of you. Well, if you're unwilling, I won't force you. But since I've taken on your case, I can't just stand by and watch you suffer. I'll use True Qi to temporarily ease your pain. If you won't open the door, then I'll let myself in."
Lin Feifei fell silent and did not speak again.
"If you don't respond, I'll take it as your consent, so I'm coming in now," Tangyu said. But turning the doorknob, he found it locked from the inside. Tangyu curled his lip, "Thinking a simple lock can stop me." His Dark Force surged into the keyhole, and with a gentle force, the lock clicked open.
Entering the room, Tangyu saw Lin Feifei in agony, drenched in sweat, curled up into a ball, trembling, tears sparkling at the corners of her eyes as she let out pitiful sobs. The sight was truly heart-wrenching.
Lin Feifei also glanced at Tangyu, puzzled at how he could have entered when she had locked the door.
Tangyu sat beside Lin Feifei on the bed, formed his fingers into an odd seal, and gently touched her back. A stream of invisible Pure Yang Qi flowed from the tips of his fingers into Lin Feifei's body. Slowly, her suffering began to subside, and her initial resistance started to weaken.
