Chapter 16 - Chapter 16: "Nalan Yanran's Embarrassing Issue"

After a busy day, Gu Chanqing was preparing to rest.

Suddenly, a graceful figure appeared in front of him, smiling sweetly as she said, "Mister Gu, I'd like you to examine me and see if there's anything wrong with my health."

The figure before Gu Chanqing was a stunning young woman in a moon-white dress, her beauty rivaling that of Xun'er. Her elegant demeanor suggested she was from a distinguished family, embodying the grace of a proud daughter of a noble house.

This young lady was none other than Nalan Yanran, who had been observing Gu Chanqing for some time.

She didn't actually have any health issues; she was just looking for an excuse to strike up a conversation with Gu Chanqing.

Gu Chanqing glanced at her and smiled slightly, "Ah, it's Miss Nalan. Your complexion looks vibrant and cheerful, suggesting you've recently resolved some concerns and are in good spirits."

"However, although Miss Nalan doesn't seem to have major health problems, long-term anxiety has led to some specific symptoms."

"For example, insomnia and irregular menstruation, along with vivid dreams, waking up in the middle of the night, and yellowish urine. Am I correct?"

Although Gu Chanqing had not taken her pulse, he could immediately discern Nalan Yanran's current health condition just by looking at her.

Though there were no severe issues, there were minor ones.

Nalan Yanran had originally pretended to be ill just to talk to Gu Chanqing, but she was astonished by how accurately he identified her minor ailments.

Especially when Gu Chanqing mentioned her irregular menstruation and yellowish urine, she felt like she wanted to disappear from embarrassment.

How could Gu Chanqing have noticed such a private issue?

"P-Please don't say that. I don't have yellow urine. You must have made a mistake."

Nalan Yanran's face turned red, and she stammered, unable to meet Gu Chanqing's eyes as she tried to deny it.

"There's no need for Miss Nalan to be so embarrassed. In the presence of a doctor, there are no distinctions between men and women. Yellow urine is not something to be ashamed of. It's quite normal due to emotional fluctuations and consuming certain heating foods. I'll prescribe a medicine for you. If you follow the instructions, these symptoms should improve easily."

"However…"

Gu Chanqing paused for a moment and glanced at Nalan Yanran's chest area before continuing, "However, since Miss Nalan has been practicing combat techniques for a long time, you've been restricting your natural growth, causing a buildup of vitality. This could affect your normal development. Have you noticed any swelling or pain in your chest recently?"

Nalan Yanran's face flushed with complete embarrassment. She quickly covered her face with her hands and wrapped her arms around her chest, her voice trembling, "Please, stop. I beg you."

If Gu Chanqing continued, she would have no face left to meet anyone.

She hadn't anticipated Gu Chanqing would be so perceptive, revealing even her chest issues.

The worst part was that he was accurate; she had indeed felt some swelling and pain in her chest recently.

"If Miss Nalan trusts me, you can take this prescription and prepare the medicine. As for the chest issue, you just need to release the restrictions and let it free," Gu Chanqing said with a gentle smile, handing her a prescription he had just written.

"Uh, thank you."

Though embarrassed, Nalan Yanran accepted the prescription, her face still flushed.

"How much do I owe you for the consultation, Mister Gu?" she asked, her face slightly reddened.

"It's a mere gold coin for the consultation. If you wish to have the medicine prepared here, it will cost ten gold coins per dose," Gu Chanqing said, holding up one finger with a smile.

"Such a low price?!"

Nalan Yanran was shocked. The price was incredibly cheap.

She casually took out something from her spatial ring worth no less than one hundred gold coins, and a single first-tier magical beast's core cost at least three or four hundred gold coins.

Gu Chanqing's price was practically giving it away.

"Miss Nalan, even ten gold coins is enough to support a normal family for half a year," Gu Chanqing explained with a light smile.

In the Dou Qi Continent, the disparity between the rich and the poor was vast.

For someone like Xiao Yan from a prominent family, twenty gold coins a month was just pocket money, while twenty gold coins could feed an average family for a whole year.

Although Gu Chanqing had means of earning money, his Longqing Clinic didn't make much profit.

Nalan Yanran's expression froze as she gazed at the young man with a warm smile, who, despite appearing as a wealthy young master, was concerned about the well-being of ordinary people.

Nalan Yanran had never seen anyone who cared for the masses in this way. In the Dou Qi Continent, everyone was out for themselves, only concerned with their own gain.

Even the imperial family, which unified the empire, did so only to gather more cultivation resources for themselves.

Yet here was this refined young man, casually talking about putting others' needs first and lowering his own benefits.

Nalan Yanran felt a mix of admiration and bewilderment. Her curiosity about this mysterious young man deepened.

"Then I'll have the medicine prepared here. I want to see if such a cheap medicine really works."

Nalan Yanran smiled and threw a handful of gold coins to Gu Chanqing.

"Miss Nalan, please wait a moment."

Gu Chanqing smiled and took the gold coins, then went to prepare the medicine for her.

As she watched the young man's earnest and focused figure, Nalan Yanran couldn't help but be mesmerized.

After closing the Longqing Clinic, Gu Chanqing and Nalan Yanran walked together.

Noticing that Nalan Yanran seemed unwilling to leave, Gu Chanqing asked with curiosity, "Miss Nalan, aren't you going home?"

"Where should I go?"

Nalan Yanran responded with a playful smile, her tone lighthearted.

"To Yunlan Sect? Nalan Mansion? Or perhaps the inn where you're staying?" Gu Chanqing replied, chuckling.

"I don't want to return to Yunlan Sect. If I go back to Nalan Mansion, my grandfather or father will definitely scold me. The inn is now empty with just me, so it's no fun to go back. I might as well wander around outside," Nalan Yanran said, her hands behind her back, bouncing and looking around like a lively young girl beside Gu Chanqing.

"Oh, I heard Xiao Yan jumped off a cliff yesterday. Is that true?"

Nalan Yanran moved in front of Gu Chanqing, retreating slightly while curiously observing him.
