461: Chapter 461 A Doctor's Heart is Like a Parent's

Lin Xiao frowned and thought for a moment before suddenly realizing.

Although the answer was slightly off, overall, it should have been effective.

"In other words, your body has fully recovered?" Lin Xiao asked again.

"Yes, it's so miraculous. I feel as light as a swallow again," Princess Li Xinglan said with a giggle.

Lin Xiao nodded. Since that was the case, he should go to Shu Yelan's place to try it out.

Soon, the two arrived at the small courtyard where Shu Yelan was staying.

However, the two guards at the door had fainted at some unknown time.

Princess Li Xinglan rushed in anxiously, only to see a woman sitting by the bed, taking Shu Yelan's pulse.

The woman had skin like congealed fat, willow-leaf eyebrows like the moon, and a high, elegant nose, giving her delicate features an air of aloofness.

Her attire was very unique; she wore a headscarf with brilliant patterns, wrapping around her jet-black hair.

She wore a dark green dress, with small gourds and animal skin bags hanging from it.

However, even though her dress was somewhat unconventional, one could still see from the side that the woman possessed an extraordinary, mature charm.

"Who are you?" Princess Li Xinglan said vigilantly. "What are you doing here?"

The woman didn't even turn her head, saying in a gentle yet disdainful voice, "A dignified Princess, can't you see I'm saving someone?"

"You can save her?" Princess Li Xinglan frowned. "Who exactly are you?"

The woman didn't answer but slowly turned her head to look at Lin Xiao, who had remained silent all along with an amused expression.

"As expected of the world-renowned Prince of Zhenbei, you don't seem surprised by my appearance at all?"

She didn't look down on Princess Li Xinglan; the only one worth her attention was this Prince of Zhenbei.

But Lin Xiao had remained silent since entering, which actually made it impossible for her to say the opening remarks she had prepared.

Lin Xiao chuckled. "This Prince just wants to see if you, a successor of Medicine King Valley, are truly as good as your reputation."

He had actually sensed someone breaking in here long ago.

He had thought it was an assassin, but seeing this woman, it became interesting...

[Gu Zhiyao, 45 years old, successor of Medicine King Valley, Aptitude: Heaven Grade, Medicine Spirit Body]

[Realm: Grandmaster of Medicine]

[Ancestral Home: Guizhou, Marital Status: Unmarried]

[Technique 1: Profound Simple Hundred Herbs Scripture (67 years of cultivation), using a hundred herbs as a conduit, life and death in a single thought. Grade: Heaven Grade]

[Technique 2: Nine-Turn Returning Yang Needle (61 years of cultivation), a unique secret acupuncture method of Medicine King Valley. Grade: Heaven Grade]

[Traits: Saving the World with Medicine (Legendary), Medicine King Successor (Special), Erratic Temper (Special)]

The Medicine Spirit Body is a Heaven Grade aptitude cultivated through medicinal herbs, which is quite similar to Liao Meier's.

It's just that Medicine King Valley follows the righteous path, while Ten Thousand Poison Cave follows the evil path.

Of course, the prerequisite is that one's own aptitude must be high enough; with a mystic grade or yellow grade aptitude, no matter how much you stack medicine, you won't be able to rise.

And the "Saving the World with Medicine" trait is basically the ceiling level of medical talent, and only then can one possess it.

To say she is the Bian Que or Hua Tuo of the Tianwu Continent is not an exaggeration at all.

But no one is perfect; this woman is "erratic," and there is a high probability that she has some mental issues.

"What!? Medicine King Valley!?" Princess Li Xinglan was stunned. This woman was actually from Medicine King Valley?

"Divine Doctor, please forgive my rudeness just now. I beg you to use your miraculous hands to cure her!"

Having roamed the jianghu, Princess Li Xinglan naturally knew how formidable Medicine King Valley was.

This sect had very few people, but each of them possessed unique skills, and their medical arts were exquisite and profound.

To be able to meet one was truly a stroke of great luck!

"What about you, Prince?" Gu Zhiyao looked at Lin Xiao instead. "Do you think I should save her?"

"You are a healer; do you need to ask others to save someone?" Lin Xiao retorted.

"You may not know, Prince, but in my life, there are 'three types I do not save.'"

"Oh? Let's hear them."

"First, I do not save the dead. Second, I do not save those who do not cherish their lives. Third, I do not save those who are steeped in evil."

"This person is the Master of Yanyu Pavilion; she makes a living by accepting contracts to kill. Although she has changed somewhat after following you, Prince, sins are not so easily washed away."

Gu Zhiyao shook her head with a smile. "I am not very willing to make an exception for her."

Princess Li Xinglan was a bit annoyed. Wasn't this just negotiating terms?

But since she needed help, she had to be patient and said, "Divine Doctor, are you asking for a reward? How much money do you want? This Princess will pay!"

"Princess Xinglan, the reward I want is something you are afraid you cannot afford..."

As Gu Zhiyao spoke, her watery, bright eyes looked at Lin Xiao with a half-smile.

Lin Xiao had to admit that this woman didn't look like she was in her forties at all; she truly had the beautiful face of a woman in her twenties, yet possessed the charm of a mature woman.

It's just that this woman wanting to approach him through practicing medicine and negotiate terms with him was underestimating him too much.

"Alright, if you don't want to save her, then move aside. This Prince will save her myself."

Lin Xiao walked to the bedside and gestured for Gu Zhiyao to move.

Gu Zhiyao was unimpressed. "Prince, please forgive my bluntness, but what the Master of Yanyu Pavilion is suffering from is an extremely rare condition. I am afraid that in the whole world, only I have heard of it, and you..."

"Get lost!!" Lin Xiao cursed impatiently. "If you say another word of nonsense and delay saving her, this Prince will kill you!!"

Gu Zhiyao was dumbfounded. No, things shouldn't be developing like this!

Is this Prince of Zhenbei crazy? Does he really think he can cure Shu Yelan?

Princess Li Xinglan also urged from behind, "Divine Doctor, please move aside. Don't really anger the Prince... He will really kill you!"

Gu Zhiyao snorted, walked to the side, and crossed her arms in front of her chest with a look of "I'll see what you can do."

Seeing that Shu Yelan's breathing was getting weaker and weaker, Lin Xiao hurriedly helped her up.

Shu Yelan couldn't sit up anymore, so Lin Xiao let her lean against his chest and placed one hand on her back.

As the "Technique" was activated, Lin Xiao's surging true qi entered Shu Yelan's body.

The turbid yin qi that was suppressing Shu Yelan in her body was quickly diluted and expelled...

Lin Xiao didn't know the principle behind this; he just let everything return to the starting point. He also enjoyed this mysterious and profound sensation.

Gradually, Shu Yelan's breathing became steady, and a flush appeared on her face.

Gu Zhiyao, who was on the side, went from disdain to shock and disbelief in her eyes very quickly.

"How is this possible..." She covered her red lips with one hand, widened her bright eyes, and almost exclaimed.

What was happening before her eyes exceeded her understanding of medical arts; it was simply a miracle!

Just at this moment, Shu Yelan seemed to sense something, and an uncontrollable sound escaped from her throat...

Although she tried her best to control it, her instinct overcame the last bit of remaining reason, and she lost control...

Princess Li Xinglan and Gu Zhiyao watched helplessly as Shu Yelan revealed her most feminine side, and both of them couldn't help but blush.

Lin Xiao naturally noticed it, but there was nothing he could do. After all, he was saving a life; a healer's heart is like that of a parent!

But just at this moment, Shu Yelan's eyelashes fluttered, and she opened her eyes...
