Upon hearing Lin Dong's words, the doctors flew into a rage and roared, "Is 'Old Yue' someone you can just address by name?"
Lin Dong was speechless.
This Old Yue was merely one of the many herb-gatherers from Taohua Spring. He never expected that once he came out into the world, he would be hailed as a divine doctor.
Lin Dong let out a bitter laugh and said, "I knew that Old Yue had malicious intentions, and I was right!"
Hearing this, the men cursed again, "You bastard, how dare you insult our master?"
"Our master is a world-renowned divine doctor! How can we allow you to slander him?"
"You're not going anywhere! Don't even think about it. Once Eldest Miss Wenyiyi is cured, we'll drag you to our master to kowtow and beg for forgiveness!"
While cursing Lin Dong, the men fed the pill to the woman.
However, to everyone's astonishment, the miraculous medicine that had previously worked so quickly now seemed to have lost its effect. Although a massive surge of vital energy entered her body, the woman remained as pale as a corpse, showing no signs of recovery at all.
"What? What on earth is going on?"
"Why has the medicine given by master stopped working?"
Seeing this, the Leather-clad Woman grew anxious and urged, "You guys, save her quickly! I can see the Eldest Miss's breathing getting weaker and weaker. We can't drag this out any longer!"
The doctors looked at each other in utter helplessness.
This Blood Cold Disease was an extremely rare condition that they had no ability to cure. Previously, they had merely relied on Tianling Pills to replenish her vital energy and suppress the illness by a thread.
Now that the Tianling Pills had lost their effectiveness, they were completely at their wits' end.
"We... we don't know what to do either!"
"Let's call master right now and have him make a remote diagnosis!"
With that, one of the doctors panicked, pulled out his mobile phone, and placed a call.
"Master! Something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened! Why isn't the pill you gave us working? Eldest Miss didn't react at all after taking it!"
On the other end of the line, Yue Feng said with an air of nonchalance, "All medicinal herbs build up a tolerance. If she takes too many, they naturally lose their effect. Just increase the dosage! If one doesn't work, give her two!"
Lin Dong heard Yue Feng's words crystal clear from where he stood.
One doesn't work, so take two?
Is this treating an illness, or is this feeding pigs?
Realizing that Yue Feng actually came from Taohua Spring, Lin Dong felt a wave of boiling rage.
"Old Yue!"
With an angry roar, Lin Dong snatched the phone right out of the man's hand.
"Old Yue, I already knew you had a crooked mind, but I never expected you'd dare to commit murder for money!"
Hearing someone question him, Yue Feng instinctively barked back, "Who the hell are you? How dare you slander me?"
Lin Dong shouted furiously, "I am Lin Dong, you asshole!"
"Ah?"
Upon hearing Lin Dong's name, a gasp escaped from the other end of the phone, followed by a dead silence.
Yue Feng was completely dumbfounded. Just now, he had felt the voice sounded somewhat familiar, never dreaming it would be Lin Dong.
"Little... Little Divine Doctor... Little Divine Doctor..."
After a long silence, Yue Feng stammered, "Little Divine Doctor, how... how did you get out?"
Lin Dong said coldly, "I'll settle accounts with you later. Tell your disciples to get lost right now."
Yue Feng nodded repeatedly and hurriedly told the doctors, "From now on, you will obey the Little Divine Doctor's instructions. Do whatever he tells you to do, understood?"
The doctors were stunned for a moment before asking, "Master, who is he?"
Yue Feng screamed, "Your Grandmaster!"
Trembling, the doctors looked at Lin Dong with bewildered expressions.
Too lazy to argue with them—since saving lives was paramount—Lin Dong simply issued cold, commanding orders.
"Lay her flat!"
Helpless, the doctors had no choice but to comply.
Lin Dong stepped forward slowly, assessed the state of the woman lying on the ground, and quickly formulated a treatment plan.
He slowly extended his right hand, gathering a blazing, pure surge of spiritual power. Placing his hand on the woman's lower abdomen, he prepared to channel his energy.
The Leather-clad Woman said coldly, "If you dare take advantage of our Eldest Miss, I'll kill you!"
Lin Dong abruptly stood up and said, "Why don't you do it then?"
The Leather-clad Woman was left speechless.
She had no medical skills whatsoever, and the doctors they brought were currently at their wits' end. Even the divine doctor they usually revered so deeply was being severely scolded by Lin Dong, so what more could she say?
"This..."
Left with no choice, she could only step back obediently and let Lin Dong proceed with the treatment.
Sighing, Lin Dong stopped paying attention to the others. He channeled the purest spiritual power from within his own body into Wenyiyi's system, helping her suppress the yin energy that had spread throughout her entire body.
At this moment, Lin Dong's Azure Dragon Blood exerted miraculous effects. Mere traces of spiritual power were enough to help Wenyiyi recover rapidly. Color returned to her complexion right before their eyes, and within a short while, she regained consciousness.
"This is?"
Seeing this, the Leather-clad Woman rushed forward, helped Wenyiyi up, and recounted what had just happened.
"He saved me?"
"I, Wenyiyi, thank you so much for saving my life, young man."
Out of instinctive politeness, knowing that the person before her was her savior, Wenyiyi almost instinctively bowed to thank Lin Dong.
Although Wenyiyi had mostly recovered, her clothes were still soaked.
As she got up to bow and express her gratitude to Lin Dong, the moment she bent over, she exposed herself right before his eyes.
Instinctively, Lin Dong lowered his gaze slightly, intending to look away.
Yet, glancing down, he saw that her dress, thoroughly soaked, clung tightly to her waist. At the junction of her waist and hips, black lace stood out sharply against her snow-white skin. Her long legs and lace edges were far more seductive than the scenery above.
"Damn it!"
Lin Dong cursed under his breath, pointed at the woman's clothes, and said with a hint of embarrassment, "Are these your clothes?"
Wenyiyi seemed to realize her awkward predicament as well. She hurriedly turned around, trying her best to avoid exposing herself further.
However, helplessly, with her dress completely soaked, her entire figure was laid bare without any concealment.
When she turned around, the scenery in front was indeed blocked, but the full curves of her rear caught Lin Dong's eyes instead.
Lin Dong sighed and simply turned his head away, refusing to look at Wenyiyi any longer.
"Alright, I've temporarily suppressed the cold qi in your body. Subsequent treatment might be a bit troublesome, but it's not impossible. You can look for me again when the time comes. By the way, your constitution is poor to begin with. Even if you came here to sketch or gather inspiration, there was no need to go into the river."
Hearing Lin Dong's words, the Leather-clad Woman became puzzled as well and quickly asked, "That's right, Eldest Miss, how on earth did you end up in the river?"
Wenyiyi rubbed her forehead and said, "The scenery here is lovely, and I came to gather inspiration. But for some reason, a sudden gust of wind blew up and actually knocked me right into the river."
