Wang Cheng walked out of Young Miss Li's bedroom with a demeanor as calm and composed as if he had just finished sipping tea. He gently closed the door before turning to face Li Hong and the Royal Doctors, who were waiting with bated breath.
"The treatment for this stage... has been completed successfully," he said calmly. "The Young Miss is merely exhausted and requires full rest. Do not disturb her for now."
As soon as his voice fell, Li Hong collapsed to his knees, intending to kowtow to him!
"Thank the heavens! Thank you... Uncle Wang!"
"Patriarch Li!" Wang Cheng rushed to support him with lightning speed. "I told you not to do this! Saving patients is a doctor's duty. I only did what I should."
Li Hong, filled with overwhelming gratitude, immediately ordered the butler to bring a gold tray containing a heavy bag of money and the "Command Jade Token" to present to him.
"Benefactor! Please accept these small tokens as a sign of the Li Family's gratitude!"
But Wang Cheng slowly shook his head and gently pushed the gold tray back.
"Patriarch Li, please keep these precious items," he said with a sincere voice. "I am just a doctor. Seeing my patient recover is the highest reward. If I were to accept these, the heart of the healer within me would not be at peace."
His humility made Li Hong and everyone present respect him to the point of worship!
"However..." Wang Cheng continued. "If you truly wish to repay my kindness... I ask for only one thing."
"You need only speak!"
"Treating illnesses requires rare herbs," Wang Cheng said. "If in the future you come across strange herbs or hear news of top-quality ingredients... please send word or share some with me... so that I may use them to help other patients."
His request... was not for himself, but for others!
Li Hong was moved to tears. "Done! I promise in the name of the Li Family! From now on, whatever precious herbs the Li Family obtains, you... Uncle Wang, will always have the first right to use them!"
This was a reward far greater than gold or any authority!
After refusing the material reward and confirming the next appointment, Wang Cheng returned to his "Wang Pai Divine Medicine Hall" in the Li Family's carriage as usual.
When the carriage arrived in front of the shop, it was already dusk. The beautiful new shop looked peaceful under the lantern light. He stepped down from the carriage feeling truly exhausted.
Suddenly, the shop door flew open!
The slender figure of Liu Yuexin ran out to receive him, her face filled with unconcealed worry.
"Master! You're back!" she exclaimed loudly. "You were gone for so long. Yuexin... Yuexin was worried sick!"
Seeing her frantic behavior, Wang Cheng couldn't help but smile gently.
"Uncle is fine... just tired and extremely hungry... Is there anything to eat?"
Liu Yuexin hurriedly supported his arm and led him into the shop. On the dining table, hot dishes and freshly cooked rice were waiting. It was clear she had been ready for his return all day.
She arranged for him to sit, poured him tea, and then sat down opposite him with a pout.
"The food is ready... but Yuexin has a condition."
Wang Cheng raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Hmm? Since when does my disciple make conditions with her master?"
Liu Yuexin's cheeks turned slightly red, but her eyes stared at him unwaveringly.
"Master went to take care of another 'patient' all day... but you never take care of your own 'disciple'... Tonight, after we eat, you must 'examine' Yuexin's body too... Otherwise... Yuexin really won't accept it!"
Her words, both pleading and bratty at the same time, made Wang Cheng chuckle softly.
"You little kid... Uncle is tired."
"Then Uncle just lie there... Yuexin will do it herself!!!"
That night... the newly built Wang Pai Divine Medicine Hall was no longer peaceful.
The sweet moans of the little disciple alternated with the sounds of fierce flesh-slapping that echoed loudly throughout the night. The neighbors in the market district had to sleep with pillows over their ears, blushing all down the street. But the sound that surprised everyone the most was the howling scream of an old man that cut through the air periodically, sounding like a pig being slaughtered!
"Ahhh! Little girl! Enough! Uncle is old nowwwwww!"
It seemed the little disciple, having tasted the benefits of increased power, had become addicted to the taste of the "Biological Yang Medicine"! She was relentless and demanding, knowing no fatigue. She flipped the script, turning from the receiver into the predator, cornering her own master on the bed!
By the time the storm of passion subsided... the "poor" Uncle had been drained for his "meal fee" three separate times until he nearly passed out, leaving only the little disciple sleeping happily and blissfully in her master's arms until morning...
