Chapter 1099 - 1098: Treatment
Chapter 1099 - 1098: Treatment
"Thirty-five years old, there are actually thirty-five-year-olds in the Divine Realm."The man who had just registered couldn't help but look at Tang Rao admiringly after hearing him report his age.
Thirty-five-year-old men in the Divine Realm are as rare as a phoenix feather or unicorn horn.
"So you're the thirty-five-year-old man."
The registrar said to Tang Rao.
Tang Rao felt that the person in front of him had hidden depths.
"The work is all on this sheet of paper, and from now on, you're responsible for this area."
If Tang Rao wasn't mistaken, the registrar's face was filled with envy for Tang Rao.
Tang Rao walked to an empty area and opened the paper, only to see a few words written on it.
Take care of the lady.
Lady...
The words invited all sorts of imaginations.
"Alright, I like this kind of work, as long as it's not like You Xiaoxiao."
Tang Rao had a certain fear of taking care of women, akin to You Xiaoxiao's heiress demeanor.
As for where the rumored lady's chamber was, Tang Rao knew it by looking at the map: hills and waters, bird songs and fragrant flowers, one of the best spots in the entire Li Mansion, this is where the lady lived.
"True to its reputation, it's a place I love."
Tang Rao stood at the doorstep, completely unaware.
If not for the person inside lightly coughing twice, Tang Rao would have pushed the door open out of curiosity.
"Hello, I'm here to take care of you, lady, can I come in?"
Nonsense, of course not.
Li Qi Qi lay on the bed, having completely lost her vitality, seemingly bedridden for a long time, otherwise her face wouldn't be so pale.
"Wait outside, I'm not convenient."
Li Qi Qi had refused countless people; these servants were all carefully selected by Li Zhentong, each good-looking, but lacking in strength. After all, they were lower deities, and finding one among them that satisfied Li Qi Qi was truly rare.
"Little beauty, you're so seriously ill, yet you don't plan to get treated. Are you planning to die in this room?"
Li Qi Qi was taken aback, how did Tang Rao know Li Qi Qi was ill?
"Tao Er, let him in."
Tang Rao was the first lower god servant Li Qi Qi had seen.
"Our lady lets you in."
Tao Er was very partial to Li Qi Qi.
"That's great, I'll come in to take a look at your lady's illness."
Tang Rao had no other advantage but had read a few books when he was young and had some research on difficult diseases.
After seeing Li Qi Qi, Tang Rao understood what a beauty was.
A woman more transparent than even Li Shengxuan, even though Li Zhentong's status among middle gods wasn't much, his daughter Li Qi Qi was truly beautiful.
"Do you know what illness I have?"
Li Qi Qi asked tentatively.
She actually had no more expectations for her illness.
"I don't know, but I can examine you, and if there's no problem, it can be cured."
Tang Rao wasn't exaggerating; he was Hua Tuo and Bian Que reincarnated, amazing!
"Diagnosing requires looking, listening, questioning, and feeling the pulse. Does the lady mind if I take your pulse?"
Li Qi Qi looked at Tang Rao, uncertain about the credibility of Tang Rao's words.
"How could our lady let you take her pulse just because you want to?"
A lady's body isn't something Tang Rao could just touch, not even for a pulse check.
"Yes, I'm being impetuous; I'll just leave it at that."
Tang Rao retreated to advance, and indeed saw Tao Er's expression change.
Tao Er wanted more than anyone to see Li Qi Qi get better. If just taking a pulse could result in Li Qi Qi's good health, Tao Er wouldn't mind trying.
"Just a pulse check, you promise you won't do anything else?"
Looking at Tang Rao's demeanor, Tao Er thought he wouldn't dare either.
But seeing Tao Er yielding to Tang Rao, Li Qi Qi looked at Tang Rao with greater regard.
"How would I dare do anything to the lady? Do you think a lower god who came to be a servant dare?"
Tang Rao glanced at Tao Er, thinking, if I dared, it would be done quietly; who would let you see it?
Tao Er pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Alright, but if you can't cure our lady, I will take your life."
Someone who touched the lady's hand but couldn't cure her deserved to die.
The lady's hand could only be touched by her future husband.
Getting Tao Er's permission, Tang Rao looked at Li Qi Qi again. Except for her unusually red cheeks, thankfully there were no other symptoms.
Tang Rao held Li Qi Qi's hand, placing it by the bedside, and while taking her pulse, released the little fire ginseng, which passed through Li Qi Qi's body once, discovered the cause, then came out.
While the little fire ginseng was diagnosing Li Qi Qi, Tang Rao leisurely caressed Li Qi Qi's hand.
"So, have you touched enough?" ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novel✦fire.net
Tao Er, standing beside Tang Rao, could hardly bear Tang Rao's lewd manner.
"Enough, enough."
Tang Rao opened his eyes wide.
"The lady's illness is complex, several ailments intertwined, compounded by previous improper treatments, making it more difficult to cure now."
No word of Tang Rao's was false.
Because of Tang Rao's words, Li Qi Qi and Tao Er finally believed Tang Rao was a pharmacist, knowledgeable in healing.
"Then tell us, how should it be treated."
Li Qi Qi only listened, while all questions were asked by Tao Er throughout.
"I can tell you, but the treatment isn't as simple as you might think; the lady needs a blood transfusion."
Exaggerating, Tang Rao had Immortal Elixir to use; mentioning a blood transfusion was just to elicit sympathy from Tao Er and Li Qi Qi.
The people here probably didn't even know what a blood transfusion was.
"How dangerous is that? If the lady loses her life, what then? Can you bear that responsibility?"
Tang Rao didn't have many strengths, except humility.
"Of course not, even if I could, I'd say I couldn't because I don't like taking responsibility. If you don't want to agree, I won't insist."
Many things Tang Rao said were mere conjectures; what he wanted to do, Tao Er and Li Qi Qi couldn't guess.
"Tang Rao, our lady's life is valuable. If you cure the lady, whatever you want, the master can promise you. But if not, I'll take your life on the spot."
Tang Rao didn't take Tao Er's words to heart.
"Naturally, if she's cured, don't forget what you said; whatever I want, your Li Family will give me."
Tang Rao didn't want much; freedom was one of those things.
Tao Er was from the Li Family, raised there from a young age, and accompanied the lady, so her speaking authority far exceeded that of ordinary maids.
Tang Rao thought there was a chance, so he sent Tao Er away, saying it wasn't appropriate for outsiders to see how he saves people.
Tao Er told Li Qi Qi that if Tang Rao had any improper intentions, to shout, Tao Er would break in right away.
Tang Rao had seen people being guarded against, but never someone guarded by Tao Er in such a way.
Did she think Tang Rao was simpleminded? Which kidnapper wouldn't first gag their victim before doing anything?
"Little Taozi, if you don't leave now and delay, don't blame me for not treating her."
