Chapter 4 The Staring

Soon the room fell silent. Tang Chen slowly sat down on the edge of the hospital bed, looking at Luo Wanru, whose face was as pale as paper. He gently reached out his hand and pressed it again on her belly.

Beauty Gu poison was one of the eight Gu poison in the Land of Miao.

Even if Tang Chen had cultivated the Secret of Burning Immortals, he would not be able to completely cure it with his current cultivation.

After a long time, Tang Chen slightly sighed.

"It seems that I still need to wait for my cultivation to enter the middle stage of the Tianjie Level to completely eradicate it."

As the true energy of the Burning Immortal was running inside his body, the beauty Gu poison was forced out by Tang Chen little by little. However, Tang Chen could not force out the last bit.

Just then, Luo Wanru woke up.

Feeling the warmth above her underbelly again, she did not have the urge to shout. When she woke up earlier, she already knew that this teenager in front of her was the one who saved her from the previous conversation.

So, she had been lying quietly on the bed. However, she still looked a bit embarrassed since she had been pressed by a boy's hand on her belly. That hand had even already moved to her chest, but she was still lying quietly with her face already hot and flushed.

"For now, you're safe."

Feeling almost there, Tang Chen spoke softly:

"After a month, I will cleanse you once more and you will be cured."

At present, Tang Chen's cultivation was only at the early stage of the Tianjie Level. If he wanted to completely eradicate the poison, he had to step into the middle stage of the Tianjie Level. One month was enough. By then, the Beauty Gu poison would be much easier for him.

"Well, thank you."

This was the only time since her illness that she had felt so relaxed as if she had been bathed in a warm spring breeze. The whole person was filled with strength.

At this moment outside the ward, the expert was still whining:

"Young people are becoming more and more disrespectful nowadays. It is forgivable that they don't have the capability if they show enough respect."

"In the Land of Huaxia, no one would dare to guarantee that Miss Luo's illness will definitely be cured. This kid is too arrogant. Well, I'll see what he is capable of..."

"Yes, if it really cannot be cured, the blame should be put on him when something goes wrong. Anyway, it is he who treats the disease. It has nothing to do with us."

In the face of the other people's whining, only Assistant Li and Elder Yu stood worriedly in the doorway and waited without saying a word.

Just as the experts were still grumbling, the door suddenly opened.

People looked over in droves and all opened their mouths in disbelief...

They only saw Luo Wanru standing up slowly under Tang Chen's assistance. An unprecedented sense of relief was revealed in Luo Wanru's expression and she smiled. Although her face was still somewhat pale, her stunning appearance instantly brightened people's eyes as if a spring flower bloomed.

"Miss, are you.... are you really alright?"

Assistant Li was pleasantly surprised and reached out to help Luo Wanru.

Luo Wanru nodded. She ignored the experts who were all staring wide-eyed aside, but looked gratefully at Tang Chen and said:

"If it were not for this Mr. Tang, I'm afraid I would not see the sun tomorrow."

After saying that, her gaze swept the experts around her and her tone instantly went cold:

"You normally get a higher salary than anyone else. But you are of no use at all when it comes to critical times. I see you guys don't deserve to be called experts. Why don't you just go home?"

All of them dared not refute a word.

The Luo clan's youngest daughter was in such a prestigious position, and they were really in the wrong.

At this time, Tang Chen stepped out from Luo Wanru's side and said:

"Miss Luo's condition has been stabilized, but her body is still weak. If she is carefully tended during this time, there should be nothing serious. One month later, after I consolidate the treatment for you once, you will be completely cured."

"Then thank you, Mr. Tang."

Luo Wanru bent her body slightly and smiled gently.

Since Tang Chen was able to treat a disease that even the experts were unable to do anything about, naturally his status in Luo Wanru's mind was obviously different.

Even if he was not an expert, Tang Chen was more revered than an expert in Luo Wanru's mind. So, she even changed the way she addressed him and directly called him "Mr. Tang".

So... she was fine now?

The audience stared wide-eyed at each other for a while, feeling rather unbelievable. Elder Yu even rushed all the way to Luo Wanru to feel the pulse and the bones for a while to check.

After a while, Elder Yu's feet trembled and he almost fell to the ground:

"The pulse is normal, the heart and blood are strong, and the vitals have completely stabilized...Was...was she really fine?"

Luo Wanru changed her previous polite attitude towards Tang Chen. Her beautiful eyes glared and she said in displeasure:

"So, Elder Yu, it seems you still want me to lie in bed for a few days?"

"No, no, no, I didn't mean it that way, Miss Luo. I am just amazed at this little Mr. Tang's medical skill. It's simply against nature..."

He wiped the cold sweat bubbling upon his forehead. With the look of a student looking at his teacher, he respectfully clasped his fist and made a bow to Tang Chen:

"Sorry about being rude earlier. Please pardon me, Mr. Tang."

Tang Chen just gave him a brief glance and said:

"The depth of the medical profession is not something that can be measured by a few instruments and a few lab sheets. The true medical profession involves various fields. Tracking its origins, even science cannot explain it clearly. So, I don't blame you for not understanding that."

In the face of Tang Chen's lectures, these experts only felt that a person who has lived to be old enough for nothing. How dare they say a word?

Luo Wanru glanced towards Assistant Li with some weakness at this moment. Li immediately understood and hastily took out a check from the black leather bag to hand it over.

"Here's five million. It is only a token of the gratitude of Luo's Group. Please do not bother to accept it, Mr. Tang."

Luo Wanru wrote the numbers on the check instantly and handed it to Tang Chen as the crowd looked at him with envy.

"Wow! That's five million."

Some of the little nurses exclaimed out in surprise. For little nurses who made a few thousand yuan a month, that five million meant a lifetime of wealth for them.

They did not know what to do with so much money if it was in their hands.

Even the experts on one side were staring at the check with bewildered eyes.

There was only one thought in their mind that the boy got rich.

However, what made all of them shocked was that Tang Chen had outright refused.

"Miss Luo, the healer is benevolent. I did not save you by wanting your five million. It was just out of professional ethics."

Tang Chen hurriedly pushed the check back.

A group of medical personnel all stared with wide eyes and thought to themselves: Was this kid sick? If you do not want that, give it to me.

Luo Wanru was also stunned. Judging from Tang Chen's clothing, his family background was only ordinary. However, he refused the own five million from her.
