87: Young Divine Doctor
She was a bit surprised. Xiao Xing looked to be about the same age as her, yet he actually had so much money to buy game pods.
She had previously thought Xiao Xing must live in a luxury villa and that placing an order for this neighborhood was just buying on behalf of someone else. She hadn't expected it to be for himself.
With so much money yet living in this neighborhood, she could only conclude that Xiao Xing was a low-profile Super Rich Player.
“Sister Su, I'm also very glad to meet you. A girl as beautiful as you is truly rare in this world.”
Xiao Xing shook her hand slightly and took the opportunity to offer some praise.
He was telling the truth; this Cheng Lingsu was indeed exceptionally beautiful. Aside from Shangguan Yinger, Xiao Xing had never seen anyone more beautiful than her.
Not only was she beautiful, but her voice was soft and sweet, giving one an instinctive urge to protect her.
“Don't call me Sister Su anymore, just call me Ling Su.”
Cheng Lingsu looked at Xiao Xing, her expression feigning anger.
On one hand, she wanted to get closer to a client like Xiao Xing so that there would be no issues when he signed for the delivery. On the other hand, she felt Xiao Xing was calling her 'older' than she was.
She was only 24 years old and naturally didn't want others to think she was too old. If Xiao Xing could call her 'Little Sister,' she would be even happier.
“Ling Su... after we're finished here, I'll treat you all to a meal. You can tell the others later.”
Calling her so intimately made Xiao Xing a bit embarrassed, but it didn't matter. If the girl didn't mind, what did he have to fear?
“The staff will leave as soon as they finish installing the game pods; they won't stay for a meal. If you're sincere, you can just treat me.”
Cheng Lingsu glanced at the busy staff and spoke slowly.
They were all from overseas and equipped with live ammunition. Their only responsibility was the safe delivery of the game pods; they couldn't do anything else.
“Then aren't you leaving with them?”
Cheng Lingsu had come with them. Could she really stay for a meal before leaving?
Xiao Xing looked at her with some confusion.
“I'm from the game's official side, the customer service manager for the Kyoto branch. I only came to handle the handover of the game pods with you. Afterward, I'll be heading back to Kyoto alone.”
After Cheng Lingsu finished speaking, she walked into the room, sat on the sofa, and began looking for something.
“Sister Yaner, this is Sister Lingsu. Chat with her for a bit while I go pour some water.”
Seeing that Cheng Lingsu seemed to want a drink, Xiao Xing greeted the approaching Mu Yaner and hurried to pour two glasses of fresh water.
“Thank you.”
Ling Su said thank you and quickly pulled something out of her pocket, intending to take it with the water.
Seeing Cheng Lingsu's state, Xiao Xing's brow furrowed slightly.
He didn't know if she was sick or what was wrong.
He saw her holding her forehead with one hand while her other hand trembled as she picked up a pill to swallow, then she took the water glass and drank.
“Sister Lingsu, what's wrong?”
Mu Yaner saw this and rushed over to support Cheng Lingsu.
Seeing her like this, Mu Yaner was a little worried. She had been fine just a moment ago, so why the sudden change?
“Xiao Xing, quickly, come take a look at her.”
Mu Yaner suddenly remembered that Xiao Xing could treat illnesses. Seeing Cheng Lingsu's state, she called out anxiously.
“It's nothing, just an old problem. I'll be fine after a short rest.”
Seeing Mu Yaner's urgent look, Cheng Lingsu looked up slightly with a wry smile.
Over half a year ago, she had suddenly felt unwell. After a hospital check-up, the doctor told her it was a strange hereditary disease.
While it could be cured, it required a very high fee.
If she didn't have the money for treatment immediately, there was a medication that could temporarily maintain her condition until she raised enough funds.
However, this medication could only last for a year at most. If she still didn't have the money for treatment by then, the symptoms would worsen, and even if Hua Tuo were reincarnated, he would be powerless to save her.
Now that the one-year deadline was approaching, she thought she would have to go beg that person. She hadn't expected a miracle to appear.
Xiao Xing had ordered five Divine-Grade game pods from her, which would earn her a massive commission.
To ensure there were no mistakes with the order, she had personally traveled from Kyoto to South City.
Once the client signed for them, she would have the money for her treatment and wouldn't need to beg anyone else.
“Sister Lingsu, Xiao Xing's medical skills are very powerful. If you let him take a look, he might be able to solve it.”
Mu Yaner didn't know the specific details; she just thought Cheng Lingsu was sick.
But she believed Xiao Xing could definitely cure her, as she had experienced it herself before.
Coupled with the fact that Xiao Xing was always full of confidence, she believed nothing was too difficult for him.
It was an inexplicable trust; as long as Xiao Xing was there, she felt an immense sense of security.
“Sister Yaner, I've had check-ups at the Kyoto Medical Academy. I know my own physical condition; it'll be the same whether he looks or not.”
After taking the medicine, Cheng Lingsu seemed to recover a bit. She looked up at Mu Yaner and shook her head slightly.
She naturally understood her own situation. She had visited several hospitals, and only the Kyoto Medical Academy could treat her.
As long as she successfully received her commission this time, she would be able to cure this strange hereditary disease, so she wasn't overly worried.
“But doesn't going to the hospital for treatment cost money? Letting Xiao Xing treat you is free, and he can cure you in an instant.”
Mu Yaner held Cheng Lingsu's hand and smiled. Seeing that the other woman had recovered quite a bit, she wasn't as worried anymore.
She felt that Xiao Xing's Spells were very powerful and could cure her instantly, so why bother spending money and suffering at a hospital?
Moreover, she felt that Cheng Lingsu was a good person, making her instinctively want to become good sisters with her. That's why she wanted Xiao Xing to help treat her.
Hearing Mu Yaner speak with such certainty, Cheng Lingsu couldn't help but turn her head and cast a scrutinizing gaze at Xiao Xing.
Her first impression of Xiao Xing was that he was sunny and handsome. Combined with that confident look, standing near him gave her an inexplicable sense of security.
But she didn't quite believe Mu Yaner's words.
Xiao Xing looked to be about her age. Unless he was one of those divine doctors from a novel, how could he possibly cure her disease?
“If you don't mind, I can take a look for you.”
Xiao Xing didn't dare claim he could cure anything, but Spiritual Power could definitely eliminate 99.9% of the toxins in this world.
However, he wasn't a traditional divine doctor and didn't know about pulses or Acupoints, so he could only use his Divine Soul to investigate her physical condition.
Using the Divine Soul to investigate someone was clearer than seeing with one's eyes. Since this involved privacy, he would only act if she agreed.
“Are you one of those young divine doctors with a System from a novel?”
Seeing how confident Xiao Xing was, Cheng Lingsu couldn't help but ask.
Other than that, she really couldn't think of any other reason. At Xiao Xing's age, he not only had so much money but also seemed to be proficient in medicine.
There was also that inexplicable sense of security; she suspected he might even be a Martial Artist, which made her wonder.
