Reborn As Divine Doctor to Rule the World-Chapter 170 - 171 Preparing for a Fight
Chapter 170: Chapter 171 Preparing for a Fight
Shao He walked out from behind and said with a smile, “What if I can make your child’s hand grow back?”
“How is that possible.” Sun Shaoyuan simply did not believe she could make his child’s hand grow back; it was clearly just a stalling tactic.
Shao He shook her head helplessly, then asked, “I only ask you, do you want your child to be normal, or do you want the silver?”
Sun Shaoyuan naturally wanted the silver. A hundred thousand taels of silver would be enough for him to enjoy himself for a few days, but if he spoke these words out loud, he would inevitably invite suspicion.
He had no choice but to speak again, “I do not believe you can make my child normal. If you bring me a hundred thousand taels of silver as compensation, then I can let bygones be bygones, and we can consider this matter settled.”
In fact, Sun Shaoyuan had already made up his mind. As long as he got the hundred thousand taels of silver, he could later use this incident to blackmail Anji Hall.
As for the child, he did not care about it at all. Nothing but a bastard, bringing it into the world was only trouble. Whether it had hands or not was unimportant to him; after all, he was not short on children.
Upon hearing this, Shao He sneered, “You believe I have demon art that can change an unborn child’s gender, that can make a child be born without hands, but you don’t believe I can make the child’s condition normal? Simply put, you just want to extort money.”
“That’s right, since you say Shao He has demon art and can make your son be born without hands, naturally she can also make your son’s hands grow back. Yet now, you don’t want your own child’s hands, but instead you want silver? That truly is the jest of the century.” Yun Qian echoed from the side.
How could such a man be worthy of being a father, doing anything for the sake of silver?
And the onlookers, realizing belatedly, considered their earlier comments and hung their heads in guilt.
“Yes, even if Doctor Shao really knew demon art, what of it? She has never done anything to harm anyone; she has always helped us with difficult and complicated illnesses.”

“Indeed, think about how your relatives around you recovered, think about who cured you when you were seriously ill and no medicine could help.”
“That’s right, one must be grateful and reciprocate kindness. We cannot let someone’s few words provoke us.”
The crowd instantly started to side with Shao He, each of them looking at Sun Shaoyuan with eyes full of condemnation.
Shao He saw this and smiled contentedly, then said sternly, “I am a doctor, not an immortal. I don’t know those things; I can only try my best to treat you all.”
“Well said.” The crowd around, inspired, clapped their hands in approval.
Those who had previously sided with Sun Shaoyuan now condemned him, believing it was too much for him to use his child to extort money.
One by one they spoke, and Sun Shaoyuan immediately felt ashamed and embarrassed, but there was no turning back for him now.
All he could do was clench his teeth and stiffen his resolve as he said, “Just give me the silver, and I will leave at once.”
Shao He walked up to him and stopped, her clear eyes staring intently at him as her thin lips parted slightly, “Impossible.”
“I won’t give you a single piece of silver.”
“You, you…” Sun Shaoyuan’s eyes reddened with anger, and he raised his hand, intending to continue with his action, but found himself unable to move.
Looking down at the fair and delicate hand holding his wrist, then turning his head furiously to glare at Shao He, “Let, let me go!”
Shao He released her grip, standing calmly upright, as if nothing had happened.
Sun Shaoyuan clutched his wrist, glaring at her resentfully.
Chu Yu whispered from the side, “Since she claims she can make the child’s hand regrow, let her do it. If she fails, you can still demand the silver.”
After hearing this suggestion, Sun Shaoyuan’s eyes lit up once more.
“That’s right, if she can’t cure him, I can take the opportunity to demand the silver. Why should I fight with silver? Thank you for the reminder, Marquis.”
Sun Shaoyuan confidently stated his demand, actually not believing in any demon art, and aware of the child’s inevitable ill health, just as his previous two children had been. He was simply seizing the opportunity to gamble for some quick money.
“For a scoundrel like you, I have only one word, ‘Scram!'” Shao He had no desire to waste more words on someone like him.
Seeing her defiant attitude, Sun Shaoyuan rushed over and grabbed her wrist, saying fiercely, “If you don’t give me the silver today, nobody will have it easy! I will not give up on this!”
“Truly, a person who discards shame is unmatched under the heavens!”
Having said this, Shao He lifted her leg and kicked fiercely and quickly. Sun Shaoyuan flew backward, crashing into the doorframe and tumbling to the ground.
The others witnessing the scene immediately rushed over, hesitant about what to do upon seeing the frail woman.
Shao He scanned the crowd coldly, the corners of her mouth curling into a slight, icy arc, her gaze emitting a murderous intent that made the close bystanders involuntarily tremble.
“Anyone who doesn’t want to die, scram!”
This voice, filled with coldness and deadliness, deterred those who wanted to rush forward.
Sun Shaoyuan, groaning in pain, struggled to his feet and, seeing the still dumbfounded crowd, roared, “What are you staring at? Attack! Hit her with everything you’ve got! Kill her!”
Yun Qian and Zhao Yuebei rolled up their sleeves, picked up whatever was at hand, and prepared for battle.
Shao He looked at them with cold eyes, extended a finger, and beckoned, “Come on, all of you, together. Don’t waste time.”
Just as both sides were about to clash, the shrill voice of an eunuch came from outside.
“Imperial Decree has arrived—”
