159: Top treatments are also profitable
Pei Ran struggled, twisting his body while making muffled sounds, trying to curse Gu Xiaoyue for sowing discord!
Unfortunately, his mouth was sealed, leaving him capable of nothing but impotent rage.
Ye Junhe glanced at Lv Hao.
Seeing that Lv Hao did not object, he directly grabbed Pei Ran by the collar and tossed him out of the infirmary building.
Gu Xiaoyue understood what Lv Hao meant; he was checking to see if she had the ability to treat burn injuries.
Since she had given Ye Junhe hope, and now that Pei Ran was obstructing it, he, as the team captain, was still inclined to let Ye Junhe give it a try.
He couldn't let the best opportunity to save Feilian be missed because of Pei Ran.
If Feilian really was saved, there should also be hope for his Flying Dragon and Su Anxi's Shallow Red Golden Crane.
Even if Pei Ran made a scene afterward, he could be appeased.
The four words that embodied Lv Hao's philosophy were: "Consider the big picture."
Seeing that Pei Ran had been thrown out, Gu Xiaoyue went over to lock the door; there were only five of them in the room.
She summoned Xiao Lan from her Yu Beast Space.
The mature fifth-rank Xiao Lan was already six meters long, and its large tail fin alone was nearly two meters long.
Xiao Lan was startled when it saw Feilian, which was covered in char, groaning and struggling.
Gu Xiaoyue took its hand that wasn't holding the magic orb and said softly, "Xiao Lan, please help."
Xiao Lan smiled and nodded docilely, and the magic orb in its hand emitted a faint blue light.
Strands of transparent water began to drift out from the magic orb, circling around Feilian.
After countless circles, the char on Feilian's body began to fade bit by bit.
The water strands also changed from their original transparent state to a brownish-tan color.
Half an hour later, Feilian's hoarse groans caused by the burns slowly turned into normal groans, and then into normal calls.
The char on its body completely faded, and it restored its original body color.
The treatment ended, and the water strands instantly burst and fell all over the floor.
Feilian stood up shakily, moved to Ye Junhe's side, and rubbed its head against his chest.
It seemed to be saying, "Although I still feel uncomfortable, I am already much better."
Feilian's recovery was visibly improving.
Hope and joy appeared in Lv Hao and Su Anxi's eyes.
Su Anxi walked over to Gu Xiaoyue and said to her in a somewhat pleading tone.
"Classmate Gu, please help treat our pet beasts as well."
Gu Xiaoyue intended to help treat their pet beasts, but she wasn't going to do it for free.
"That's certainly no problem, but—"
Gu Xiaoyue looked at Lv Hao and Su Anxi meaningfully.
Su Anxi understood immediately, "Classmate Gu, if you have any conditions, feel free to state them."
"One shaping flower."
Gu Xiaoyue had been saving points to help Little Bear transform, but given the current situation, she preferred to save points to exchange for a hun yuan pearl.
Before Su Anxi could answer, Lv Hao directly took out a shaping flower from his Yu Beast Space.
"No problem."
He handed the shaping flower to Gu Xiaoyue and gave Su Anxi a reassuring look.
"Don't cry anymore, summon the little crane."
Lv Hao gently wiped away Su Anxi's tears and patted her head to put her at ease.
Su Anxi nodded and summoned the Shallow Red Golden Crane.
It was also a lump of charcoal, occasionally emitting weak, hoarse groans.
Gu Xiaoyue waited for a while, and seeing that Lv Hao was just holding Su Anxi without taking action, she couldn't help but urge him.
"Stop feeding us dog food. Lv Hao, where is your Thunder Dragon?"
Lv Hao froze for a moment, pursed his lips, and managed to squeeze out a few words.
"I don't have a shaping flower right now. How about I owe you one for now?"
So Lv Hao thought it was one shaping flower per pet beast!
Gu Xiaoyue had thought she was asking for an exorbitant price, and that Lv Hao had agreed just to please his girlfriend.
Now it seemed that top-tier healing was ridiculously expensive!
No wonder they say that being top-tier in any field is very profitable!
"One shaping flower, and I'll handle all your pet beasts, including follow-up visits for the next two days."
Lv Hao and Su Anxi exchanged a glance, a hint of joy appearing in their eyes.
He summoned the Azure-Winged Thunder Dragon and then asked Gu Xiaoyue.
"Please help treat our other pet beasts as well. I'll owe you the shaping flower and give it to you once I get one, is that okay?"
Gu Xiaoyue thought for two seconds.
"Do you have any heavenly crafting stones? Two pieces."
Su Anxi took out one, and Ye Junhe also took out one and handed them to her.
Gu Xiaoyue first treated the burn injuries of the Thunder Dragon and the Golden Crane; having recovered for the most part, they could move normally.
However, it was still too much of a stretch for them to participate in the battle tomorrow.
Lv Hao and the others summoned their other pet beasts in waves, asking Gu Xiaoyue to treat them.
The same went for Ye Junhe and Lin Zhiyi's pet beasts.
Pet beasts with minor injuries recovered almost completely after just one round of treatment, jumping around in the infirmary.
"Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Lan."
After all the pet beasts were treated, Gu Xiaoyue recalled Xiao Lan to the Yu Beast Space.
Seeing that the pet beasts were mostly recovered, Su Anxi couldn't help but weep with joy again.
Lv Hao held her and coaxed her softly, "They're all better, why are you still crying? Don't cry, baby."
Gu Xiaoyue, Ye Junhe, and Lin Zhiyi couldn't bear to watch this display of public affection!
Just as Gu Xiaoyue was about to arrange the treatment time for tomorrow with them, the infirmary door was kicked open.
"Gu Xiaoyue, I knew you didn't have good intentions!"
Pei Ran appeared at the door of the infirmary, bringing a few instructors from Huaqing.
When they saw a room full of lively pet beasts, they were all stunned.
"Didn't you say Gu Xiaoyue was delaying the treatment of Lv Hao's pet beasts? What is going on here, Classmate Pei?"
Pei Ran was also speechless; he had wiggled around like a caterpillar for ages before running into a classmate. He had asked the classmate to untie him so he could find the teachers and file a complaint.
He hadn't expected that Gu Xiaoyue had actually successfully treated Lv Hao's pet beasts?
The instructors glared fiercely at Pei Ran, annoyed that he was making trouble out of nothing, and turned to leave.
"They, they are all better?"
Pei Ran checked the now-recovered pet beasts one by one.
Even Ye Junhe's Feilian had definitely passed the danger period and was no longer in life-threatening condition.
"Then, Classmate Gu, how about you help treat my man-eating flower as well?"
The facts were right before his eyes; Gu Xiaoyue truly had the ability.
Pei Ran wasn't stupid either; when there were resources, one naturally had to utilize them effectively.
"Sure!"
Gu Xiaoyue looked at him with a smile in her eyes.
And just as Pei Ran was beaming with joy, about to summon his man-eating flower, she continued.
"One shaping flower."
Upon hearing this, Pei Ran couldn't help but burst into curses.
"Gu Xiaoyue, I knew you didn't have good intentions! A shaping flower? Why don't you just go rob someone!"
"Can't afford it? Then it's cheaper: one heavenly crafting stone! You don't think Lv Hao and Ye Junhe didn't give me anything, do you? I'm not you; why would I work for you for free?"
Pei Ran was so angry that his teeth itched, but he had no other choice.
He really couldn't even produce a heavenly crafting stone.
Pei Ran just assumed that Gu Xiaoyue was making things difficult for him with resource demands.
In reality, Gu Xiaoyue simply didn't want to expose Xiao Lan in front of Pei Ran.
Since Pei Ran targeted her so much, she was certainly not a saint who would help him after he slapped her.
"The tables will turn. You'd better hope you don't have something to ask of me in the future!"
Pei Ran left a resentful threat and slunk away.
