The Talented Doctor

Chapter 44: Shameless Ms. Nalan

“Is it true?” The person who heard the news was shocked. “Physician Nalan is the best physician in our Country Jin Ling and doesn’t have any ties with the Zhu family. Why would Old Master Zhu find fault with him?”

“Hehe, I heard that at midnight two days ago, the Young Master of the Zhu family had his clothes ripped off and was tied to the pillar in the living room of his villa. In the early morning, a hawker came by. Once he opened the door, he saw Young Master Zhu’s soft, white, and naked body, causing him to shout at the top of his lungs and attract a whole bunch of onlookers. The Zhu family was humiliated.”

When the crowd heard what he said, they burst out in laughter and could not hold back when they imagined the scene.

However, they still did not understand. “But what has the Nalan Residence got to do with Young Master Zhu’s embarrassment?”

The person who exposed the news then smiled mysteriously and lowered his voice, “I must say who exactly taught the unreasonable Young Master Zhu a lesson. I can tell you all, but you must help keep this secret. I heard that the person was Nalan Residence’s Second Missy, Nalan Feixue.”

“Ah…! It can’t be!” The crowd’s faces were filled with shock as they asked in unison, “Is this a misunderstanding? We heard that the two Missies of the Nalan Residence are elegant, beautiful, and brimming with talent. How… how can she do such a shocking thing? Perhaps someone else did it and framed the Second Missy of Nalan Residence.”

When the person who exposed the news was suspected, there was unhappiness all over his face. He grunted, “What do you mean framed? If the Zhu family did not have concrete evidence, why would they go there and wreak havoc? Do you really think that the miracle Physician Nalan is just for show?”

Then, he lowered his voice and laughed, “If you ask me, I bet Young Master Zhu could not change his horny habits, and once he saw Nalan’s Second Missy… but who would have expected that he got taught a lesson by Nalan’s Second Missy instead?”

“But… but Nalan’s Second Missy was still an unmarried, innocent girl. No matter how daring she was, how could she just rip the man’s clothes off and do such… such humiliating things? You can’t blame the Zhu family for seeking trouble early in the morning.”

As the gossip continued beside her, He Xi stopped using her internal energy to eavesdrop and enjoyed the food that the waiter kept serving.

Upon seeing the fragrant and appetizing delicacies in front of her, He Xi suddenly felt hunger in her stomach. However, once she ate the food, she could not help but knit her brows.

The taste of the spiritual food was not fresh, and one could even say that it was bland and tasteless. The most disappointing thing was that at least thirty percent of the spiritual influence in the food was lost.

He Xi only took a few casual bites from every dish before she put down her chopsticks in disappointment.

In her previous life, she had once received a long-term mission where her target loved to eat all kinds of good food. In order to get close to him and receive intel, He Xi spent many years picking up culinary skills and finally satisfied the mission’s target.

After the mission ended, He Xi realized that she found many dishes at normal restaurants tasteless because her culinary skills had reached a god-like level, and her stomach was very picky.

In this world—because of the survival rule of the strong bullying the weak, everyone’s target was to cultivate and strengthen themselves. They ate spiritual power to nourish their spiritual power within, and no one cared about the taste. Thus, the food standard was way below the others outside.

The people here might not care about the taste of the food, but He Xi did not want to make do. She decided to buy more ingredients and cook for herself at home. As for these dishes, she would leave them for Eggy’s spiritual food.

He Xi smiled slightly and kept all the remaining food on the table before leaving Drunken Fairy Restaurant.
