Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 607 - 599 Two misers

Back at Princess Apartments, Tangyu was still feeling quite gloomy. The shock he experienced was unprecedented.

For someone who prided himself on never having tasted defeat, such a setback was especially devastating. Tangyu had always had smooth sailing, so this crushing defeat left him feeling pretty miserable, and a flurry of complex thoughts crossed his mind. Because of Li Feng’s delay, Lin Feifei and the others had already returned home from school. Guo Momo was preparing dinner, while Lin Feifei and Zhao Yaya were sitting on the sofa watching cartoons, thoroughly engrossed.

Tangyu plonked down between the two of them.

"Tangyu, you’re back. What’s wrong, are you very tired?" Lin Feifei asked with concern, coming over to him.

Tangyu looked at Lin Feifei and shook his head, saying, "Not tired. I lost today, my first crushing defeat."

"Ah, big bro, you lost? What did you lose? Money or morals? Uh—don’t glare! Okay, just kidding. But really, what did you lose? Is there someone whose medical skills surpass yours, and you lost to them in a medicial contest?" Zhao Yaya suddenly perked up, her eyes roving over Tangyu.

"Well, it’s not that bad. If I had lost in medical skills, I might as well die. I couldn’t face my master. I just lost to you in a martial arts sparring match. It was a terrible defeat," Tangyu shook his head.

"Ah! Big bro, aren’t you invincible in fights? How could you possibly lose? Even Sun Wukong and Liu Dingyang can’t beat you, you’ve defeated so many terrorists, you’ve been victorious over both assassins and terrorist organizations, how could you lose? That’s unscientific and unreasonable. Big bro, in my heart, you’ve always been invincible, a shining image of glory, how could you possibly lose? You’re joking with me, aren’t you?" Zhao Yaya said incredulously.

"I don’t have the leisure to joke with you. I’m utterly depressed and hugely shocked," Tangyu replied irritably.

Zhao Yaya shook her head: "This is too unscientific. I don’t believe it, I just won’t. Anyway, big bro, in my heart, you are an invincible presence. I didn’t hear it, I’ll pretend I didn’t hear it. But—big bro, there really is someone more skilled than you? Tell me quick, who is it? Do I know them?"

"Not telling," Tangyu replied.

"Hey, don’t be so stingy. So you lost to him, what’s the big deal? Victory and defeat are common in war. No one is ever unbeatable. Come on, tell me! I really want to know, and I promise I won’t tell anyone or laugh at you," Zhao Yaya said.

"...you’re already making fun of me," Tangyu replied.

Zhao Yaya immediately pursed her lips: "Me? No, I didn’t laugh. C’mon, tell me, hurry up and spill it."

"I’d rather die than tell," Tangyu clamped his jaws shut, adamant about not revealing such an embarrassing incident that would tarnish his glorious image.

Lin Feifei comforted him, "Tangyu, don’t dwell on it too much. A momentary win or loss doesn’t prove anything. Don’t take it to heart. No matter what, you’ll always be the best in my eyes, you’re invincible to me."

"You sweet talker," Tangyu said with a smile, then he lunged over and kissed Lin Feifei, causing her face to turn red. She shyly turned her head away. It was the first time Tangyu had kissed her in front of Zhao Yaya, naturally making her feel a bit embarrassed.

"Ew—so impure, not suitable for children, my eyes," Zhao Yaya covered her eyes. Then, peeking through her fingers, she asked, "Feifei sis, what does it feel like?"

"You naughty girl, you’re becoming increasingly impure," Lin Feifei said, stamping her foot in annoyance.

"Alright, alright, I won’t ask any more, you two scrooges," Zhao Yaya pouted.

"..."

After the playful banter with the two, Tangyu’s mood somewhat lifted. Of course, the incident served as a loud wake-up call, reminding him not to be blindly arrogant. You never know how big the world is until you explore it. Tangyu now realized the benefits of getting out more, experiencing different things, and seeing more of the world. He also understood that with his current strength, going against Yin Medical Sect was like throwing an egg against a rock. He couldn’t even beat a disciple from an Ancient Martial Arts Family, let alone an expert from Yin Medical Sect.

Not to mention anyone else, just the thought of Yin Medical Sect was intimidating. Back then, it was only by joining forces that Ghost Doctor and Holy Doctor were barely able to suppress the Yin Medical Sect’s leader, indicative of the terrifying level of his strength. And at this moment, Tangyu had not yet received the true transmission of skills from Ghost Doctor. The road ahead seemed perilous, and Tangyu increasingly felt the difficulty of the mission. A pang of complaint rose in his heart: Master, oh, Master, you sure know how to enjoy your peace and quiet. How could you leave such a big issue to me alone, not caring about anything? Is there such an irresponsible master?

"By the way, Feifei, I need to go to Miyun Town tomorrow. It might take a few days before I can return," Tangyu said.

"Ah, off to Miyun Town again? I want to go too!" Zhao Yaya immediately cried out, always eager for a chance to play.

"Don’t even think about it. I’m going on a mission, not a holiday. There’s a terrible situation there. This time, our entire traditional Chinese medicine delegation will be there. I estimate at least three days, but it could be even longer," Tangyu explained.

"Oh, then you be extra careful out there. Later I’ll help you pack your things," Lin Feifei said.

Zhao Yaya pouted, "Even if you’re on a mission, you can still have fun. Big bro, please take me with you. I’m dying to go back to Miyun Town, I miss it so much."

"Yaya, what are you talking about? Skipping classes, are you?" A loud voice came from the kitchen, and Guo Momo walked out with two plates of food, glaring at Zhao Yaya. Zhao Yaya immediately sulked, quieting down and not daring to fuss about going with him anymore.

"Okay, okay, I was just talking, I know I have class. Even if I didn’t have classes, big bro certainly wouldn’t take me. But big bro, what kind of mission are you going on there? That they even have to send a whole team of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, it’s quite the grand affair," Zhao Yaya said.

"A mass poisoning incident. It’s a wide-scale problem affecting nearly a thousand people. It’s very serious. If we don’t intervene, several villages could be wiped out. It’s quite terrifying," Tangyu replied.

"Ah, a village wiped out, that’s terrifying, so brutal, no wonder the good guy brother had to step in. But don’t worry, don’t worry, with good guy brother, you guys on the case, everything will definitely be alright," Zhao Yaya said.

Tangyu shook his head with a wry smile: "Do you really trust me that much? Do you really think I’m an immortal?"

"Heehee yes, I really do think of you as an immortal, a living immortal, a living immortal who can cure all diseases. That’s how I introduce you at school," Zhao Yaya said with a smile.

"Uh..."

"Alright, enough fooling around, come and have dinner," Guo Momo said.

Zhao Yaya was the first to jump up and run to the dining table: "Dinner’s ready, dinner’s ready, I’ve been hungry for so long. Wow, Momo sister, you knew good guy brother was going to eat at home today, right? Why did you make so much food, and even my favorite braised pork, that’s awesome."

"Smack."

Just as Zhao Yaya was about to grab some braised pork, Guo Momo smacked her hand: "No manners."

"We’re all family here, what manners do we need, I don’t care." Zhao Yaya said nonchalantly, with no table manners to speak of, nowhere near resembling a lady from a big family.

Tangyu and Lin Feifei also took their seats.

"Tangyu, the situation you mentioned about Miyun Town having a village poisoned, is it similar to the poisoning cases in the villagers at the last session of your previous medical exchange between traditional Chinese and Western medicine?" Guo Momo suddenly asked.

Tangyu nodded: "Yes, that’s why I said this situation is quite urgent and dangerous, and if it’s not handled properly, people could die."

"Did something happen in Wanshan Village?" Guo Momo asked again.

Tangyu was startled and looked at Guo Momo: "You know?"

Guo Momo shook her head: "No, I guessed."

"Guessed?" Tangyu looked at Guo Momo. If it really was a guess, that was quite impressive.

Guo Momo said: "Not entirely, some deduction perhaps. I do understand you to some extent, you’re a doctor, but you don’t take curing patients as your personal mission. The life and death of others doesn’t matter too much to you. I think if it weren’t for Wanshan Village’s situation, you probably wouldn’t have agreed to go to Miyun Town for this mission. And considering the solemnity in your tone earlier, it shows you take this matter very seriously, so I guessed that something might have happened in Wanshan Village."

Tangyu curled his lips; Guo Momo was indeed a clever girl who was a bit frightening. Based on just that information, she managed to guess correctly, which was truly admirable.

"Eeek, Momo sister, how come you understand good guy brother even better than Feifei sister?" Zhao Yaya asked curiously.

Guo Momo’s face went slightly stiff as she lowered her head to eat.

"Good guy brother, the people of Wanshan Village haven’t all been poisoned, have they?" Zhao Yaya also asked with some concern.

"I think so, but the specifics aren’t too clear to me right now. I can only go to Miyun Town tomorrow to look into it. Currently, the poisoned villages have all been sealed and quarantined," Tangyu said.

"Oh, then good guy brother, they won’t be in any trouble, right? You must cure them, they are all good people, they really mustn’t have anything wrong with them, otherwise, we would all feel really sad," Zhao Yaya said.

Lin Feifei and Guo Momo were also very worried and concerned about the situation in Wanshan Village.

"Don’t worry, the reason I’m going this time is precisely for Wanshan Village. Since I’m on it, I will definitely ensure the safety of the villagers there. I will treat them first. With just over three hundred people in Wanshan Village, it’s certain there’s no problem getting them all treated," Tangyu said.

Zhao Yaya nodded: "Then that’s great, that’s great, I’m relieved they’re okay. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be fun to visit next time. Mmm, but there are others too, you should probably cure them as well."

Tangyu shook his head with a chuckle: "Eat your food, don’t get involved in too many things, we’ll naturally take care of all that. If you don’t eat now, your braised pork is going to be all eaten by me."

"Ah, braised pork, my braised pork, no one steal it from me. Ah, how come there’s only one piece left, woo woo you guys are too mean, eating all of my braised pork," Zhao Yaya suddenly cried out.

Tangyu laughed: "That’s what you get for minding too many other things, you should lose some weight anyway."

"I don’t care about that much, anyway, I’m not even 120 pounds yet. If push comes to shove, I’ll just cling to good guy brother, you," Zhao Yaya said.

"..."
