Medical and Martial God

Chapter 113: Chapter 113 The Extremely Vicious Person

Good heavens!

The Ghost Doctor and his assistants were astonished. They had never heard of, let alone witnessed, such a miraculous acupuncture technique that could turn decay into magic.

As the old saying goes, ”a hundred days to heal an injury to tendon or bone.” It means bones are incredibly difficult to heal quickly, yet in Ye Xiu’s hands, Nuonuo’s broken bone was visibly regenerating. This could no longer be described as mere medical skill; it was utterly miraculous!

”The magic of the Thirteen Ghost Needles lies in their ability to use silver needles and Inner Strength to stimulate the body’s latent potential, accelerating its natural self-healing capabilities,” Ye Xiu explained. ”The reason I never taught you this formation before is that it’s extremely difficult to master. One small mistake could kill a person.”

”Therefore, the Thirteen Ghost Needles are also known as the Life-snatching Thirteen Needles. They can save lives, but they can also take them...”

The assistants listened, dumbstruck.

The Ghost Doctor, however, was trembling with excitement. As one of the Thirteen Protecters under Huang Quan, he understood perfectly what Ye Xiu’s words implied. Learning the Thirteen Ghost Needles meant mastering another deadly killing technique.

Just then, the Ghost Doctor’s phone buzzed. It was a text message. He opened it and reported, ”Master, the men I sent to the hotpot restaurant sent over the surveillance footage.”

”Play it,” Ye Xiu said.

”Right!” The Ghost Doctor immediately started the video.

The moment it began, Ye Xiu recognized the two men sitting at the table next to Fang Meijun, the old man, and Nuonuo.

”The Twin Devils of the North!”

”What?” the Ghost Doctor exclaimed in shock. ”The ones who poured hotpot on Nuonuo were the Twin Devils of the North, the infamous villains who have terrorized the north for twenty years?”

”It’s them,” Ye Xiu confirmed with a nod.

The Ghost Doctor frowned. The sudden appearance of those two extremely vicious thugs in Jin Ye City clearly meant they had accepted a bounty mission—they were here for Ye Xiu’s left arm.

”Give the order,” Ye Xiu commanded. ”Use the surveillance footage from around the hotpot restaurant as a starting point and follow the trail to find them.”

The presence of the Twin Devils of the North was a threat to every single person in Jin Ye City. Those two bastards had no regard for human life; they were the most evil of evil men.

”Rest assured,” the Ghost Doctor said with a nod.

Ye Xiu continued watching the footage. Nuonuo, while eating and playing, had accidentally bumped into the Twin Devils. One of them had scolded her, frightening her to tears. Then, Fang Meijun threw her chopsticks at the men’s heads and began cursing fiercely. Since the recording had no sound, Ye Xiu couldn’t tell what she was shouting. Nuonuo then spat at the man who had scolded her, and he kicked her in retaliation, the blow landing squarely on her right leg.

That explained her broken leg.

With her leg broken, Nuonuo fell to the ground crying in pain. This only made Fang Meijun curse more viciously, while the old man grabbed a beer bottle, preparing to smash it over the men’s heads. This was the final straw that enraged the Twin Devils of the North. One of them immediately grabbed the pot of boiling broth and threw it all over Nuonuo before they quickly fled the scene.

”If Fang Meijun hadn’t cursed at them, if she hadn’t thrown her chopsticks at their heads, if Nuonuo hadn’t spat at them, and if the old man hadn’t tried to attack them with a bottle, this tragedy would never have happened,” Ye Xiu concluded.

The Ghost Doctor observed, ”It’s clear from the video that the Twin Devils were trying to restrain themselves, likely to avoid exposing their presence. They were completely pushed over the edge by the provocations from Fang Meijun and the old man.”

Ye Xiu sighed. To have grandparents like that, Nuonuo must have been cursed with eight lifetimes of bad luck. It also seemed her grandparents were teaching her terrible habits, as evidenced by the spitting.

”Turn off the video,” Ye Xiu said. ”Issue the order to find the Twin Devils of the North immediately.”

With that said, he returned to treating Nuonuo, continuing his explanation of the Thirteen Ghost Needles. The Ghost Doctor sent a quick text message before resuming his study.

In less than an hour, Nuonuo’s skin had returned to normal. In less than two hours, her broken leg was completely healed. During that time, the burns in her mouth and trachea were also cured.

”Master, Nuonuo’s eyes were severely burned by the heat and the spices; they’re almost destroyed. Can the Thirteen Ghost Needles even fix that?” the Ghost Doctor asked.

”How could that be possible?” Ye Xiu laughed. ”The Thirteen Ghost Needles are a medical technique, not a celestial art. They can’t heal Nuonuo’s eyes.”

”Then what method can heal her eyes?” the Ghost Doctor asked.

”The physical injuries to her eyes are mostly repaired, but her retinas are severely damaged. She’ll need a transplant,” Ye Xiu explained.

The Ghost Doctor’s brow furrowed. ”We don’t have any spare retinas, and donations are extremely rare these days.”

”Someone will bring one to me,” Ye Xiu said euphemistically.

The Ghost Doctor was stunned for a moment, then he understood. With so many people trying to kill Master, including Kuroki Suzu and her band of Sang Jing Ninja Wariors, acquiring a pair of retinas would be a simple matter for him.

”Take Nuonuo to the ward,” Ye Xiu said to the assistants.

”Yes, Divine Doctor Ye!” The assistants were buzzing with an excitement that rivaled taking stimulants.

Ye Xiu and the Ghost Doctor left the operating room first. Fang Meijun’s family rushed toward them.

”Divine Doctor Ye, how is Nuonuo?” Fang Meijun asked anxiously.

”She is no longer in life-threatening danger,” Ye Xiu replied.

The family of four breathed a collective sigh of relief.

Just then, Ye Xiu turned to Zhang Wenyi. ”Did you bring the one-million-yuan consultation fee?”

”What one-million-yuan consultation fee?” Zhang Wenyi asked, taken aback.

”Didn’t your parents tell you?” Ye Xiu frowned.

Zhang Wenyi and Nie Tingting looked at his parents.

”Don’t listen to his nonsense,” Fang Meijun interjected. ”Your father and I never agreed to pay him any fee. He’s trying to extort us!”

”That’s right, I can attest to that,” the old man added. ”Your mother never promised Ye Xiu a one-million-yuan fee.”

The two of them were inwardly delighted. Now that Nuonuo is out of danger, what can he do if we renege on the deal?

”I only said she was no longer in life-threatening danger,” Ye Xiu said, his face turning cold. ”I never said she was fully recovered.”

Fang Meijun and the old man froze, stunned.

”What do you mean by that, Ye Xiu?” Nie Tingting demanded angrily.

”You should be asking your in-laws that. Do they not know how seriously Nuonuo was injured?” Ye Xiu retorted.

Nie Tingting looked toward her in-laws. Seeing this, Fang Meijun quickly said, ”Tingting, don’t listen to his nonsense! Nuonuo was just splashed with some hotpot. At worst, her skin was burned. Ye Xiu is just saying this to squeeze money out of us.”

”A leopard truly can’t change its spots,” Ye Xiu said with a cold smile, turning to Zhang Wenyi and Nie Tingting. ”Did they tell you why Nuonuo had hotpot thrown on her?”

”Yes!” Nie Tingting nodded. ”My mother-in-law said that Nuonuo wanted to eat hotpot, so she and my father-in-law took her. While they were eating, Nuonuo was singing, and two drunk men at the next table yelled at her and then threw the hotpot in her face.”

”Your mother-in-law lied. That’s not what happened at all,” Ye Xiu stated flatly.

”That’s bullshit!” Fang Meijun blurted out, becoming frantic. She turned to Nie Tingting and said, ”Tingting, don’t listen to him! What I said is the truth. If you don’t believe me, ask your father-in-law!”

”I can testify that what your mother-in-law said is the absolute truth, word for word,” the old man declared with conviction.
