Final Boss: Urban Physician - Chapter 46

Chapter 46: Tempered Body

Seeing Su Ruoxue’s stunned expression, Xiao Chen lightly smiled.

“Why did you turn into a statue?”

Su Ruoxue rolled her eyes. Anyone would be stunned to meet a demon like you, okay?

“You’re too evil! You actually didn’t tell me and kept it from me on purpose! I was so worried about you just now!”

XIao Chen shrugged.

“I asked you if you wanted help, you were the one who said no!”

Su Ruoxue pouted her lips, a dissatisfied expression on her face.

“How was I supposed to know you’re a god of medicine? I thought you wanted to endorse my company! A monetary endorsement won’t solve my issue at all! Later, you have to give me one—no, three!—three top-tier formulas to compensate for my emotional trauma!”

Xiao Chen didn’t know if he should laugh or cry.

“You sure know how to strike a deal.”

But it was all talk. He still wrote down three formulas for Su Ruoxue.

“This formula is for clearing up scars, this one is to wash out the dirt in your pores, and the third one is for hydration. Their effects should be able to rival the best cosmetics products in this world!”

“Chehh!”

Su Ruoxue took a deep breath, her eyes expanding.

“Really? Is it that magical?”

Xiao Chen glanced over at her.

“If you don’t want it, give it back.”

“No way!”

Su Ruoxue turned around and hid the formula, a smug smile forming on her lips like a fox.

“This is the prescription I worked so hard for, of course I can’t give it to you. However, if they are as magical as you say they are and have healing properties, I won’t treat you badly. I’ll even give you a big, fat bonus!”

Xiao Chen laughed it off.

These three formulas were worth billions.

But Xiao Chen only valued his friendship with Su Ruoxue. If Su Ruoxue’s character wasn’t as good as it was, he wouldn’t sell it to her for a trillion dollars.

“Alright it’s getting late. Let’s head back and call it a night.”

Elder Tang immediately began to speak.

“I’ll walk you!”

Su Ruoxue hurriedly followed.

“Xiao Chen, I won’t be going back with you. I need to go to my company’s Research and Development department and figure out what kind of product we want to make.”

“No problem.”

The intimate exchange between the two made Elder Tang look on with envy for a moment.

Su Ruoxue was so grateful she could befriend Xiao Chen. If it had been his daughter, Tang Nianyao, how great would that be? Elder Tang was green with envy. He was even willing to deliver Tang Nianyao straight to Xiao Chen’s bedside!

However, an expert like Xiao Chen couldn’t be seduced so easily.

Saying goodbye to the Tang family and Su Ruoxue, Xiao Chen couldn’t wait to get back home.

Although Ziyi’s medical condition wasn’t in a hurry to be healed, Xiao Chen was more hopeful than anyone for her healthy recovery.

This was the responsibility of a father!

Ziyi sat on the couch, smacking her mouth as she ate cake with her head cocked to one side. She watched as her father busily bustled around the house, grabbing a wooden bucket, and pouring all the herbs into it before adding water with a solemn expression on his face.

When Xiao Chen was finished and reading to help her undress, Xiao Ziyi suddenly remarked:

“Daddy! Are you planning to eat me?”

Xiao Chen’s face couldn’t help but twitch.

“Why would I want to eat you?”

Xiao Ziyi pouted.

“Daddy made so much soup and added all these ingredients, and now you want to take Ziyi’s clothes. You must be taking Ziyi to make soup! Daddy, don’t eat me okay? I’ll behave!”

Xiao Chen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“Silly girl, don’t speak such nonsense. Daddy’s trying to cure your sickness! Did you feel pain before? Now that I’ve gotten the medical ingredients, we can cure your sickness!”

“Are you sure you don’t want to eat me?”

Xiao Ziyi was serious.

Xiao Chen shook his head seriously as well.

“Okay, swear it. If you eat me, you will be poisoned to death!”

Xiao Chen’s face twitched once again. Was his ‘small coat’ made out of black magic?

Afterwards, he carried Xiao Ziyi and tossed her into the wooden bucket.

“You silly girl, how dare you curse me. I’ll deal with you later!”

Xiao Ziyi sorrowfully leaned against the bucket’s edge.

“If you eat me, Auntie Ruoxue will call the police, and you’ll be caught!”

Xiao Chen was speechless. He directly activated his reiki to crush the herbs so they would infuse with the water. Then sent the healing properties into Xiao Ziyi’s pores.

Soon, Xiao Ziyi’s body felt as if it were on fire. She dizzily fell into a slumber.

These medicinal herbs were too powerful. Among them were thousands of years of spiritual properties and various rare treasures.

Combined, they shrouded Xiao Ziyi’s blood in flames, putting her in a feverish state.

But this was different from having a fever; this was good for Xiao Ziyi!

The energy quickly gathered, removing the negative effects from Xiao Ziyi’s body. It helped to repair the parts of her heart destroyed by the Heart Eater, as well as the injuries that it left. It also helped cure the injuries in her bones that suffered from poor development and growth inhibition.

When the bucket turned into a pool of dark sewage, Xiao Chen immediately picked up his daughter and rinsed her body off before putting her to bed and letting her sleep peacefully.

The next morning, Xiao Ziyi crawled up and ran up to the bathroom to pee. When she passed the mirror in the bathroom door, she suddenly screamed.

“Ah—!”

Xiao Chen was startled awake and hurriedly ran to his daughter’s side.

“What’s wrong?”

Xiao Ziyi was terrified as she pointed to the mirror at the beautiful, fairy-like, little girl. Screaming, she said:

“Daddy! A Ghost! Ghost!”

Xiao Chen knocked on her head.

“What ghost, that’s you!”

“Oh my god!”

Xiao Ziyi stared at her reflection in disbelief.

She was a different person than she had been last night.

Before, due to her living environment, her figure was much shorter than children aged four or five. At the same time, her skin had been dark and rough, her hair waxy and yellow. It was unbearable to look at!

But now, she was a head taller than her peers and could be compared to kids of her age. At the same time, her appearance had also undergone earth-shattering changes!

That dark and rough skin has become fair, like crystal pink radiating under her white skin. She was beautiful!

Her waxy, yellow hair and her baby hairs had become soft, dark, and lustrousglistening.

And her big eyes glittered like stars.

Xiao Ziyi now was a peerless beauty carved from jade.

If she continues to grow like this, in the future, she might be able to defeat Su Ruoxue’s namesake and become the city’s most beautiful woman, destroying the country and its people with her appearance alone.
