Peerless Medical Emperor

Chapter 12: Chapter 12: Giving You the Best

"Then go buy them. Get the most expensive outfit, and buy everything else too. The necklace, the bracelet, the ring—don’t forget a single thing. Buy it all and put it on this card."

With a command, Chen Qingdi tossed out a black card.

Steward Li carefully accepted the black card and immediately sent his subordinates to make the purchases.

"Steward Li, is the banquet ready?"

Chen Qingdi asked.

"Everything is ready, Sir. Miss Ye, if you please."

Steward Li gestured in a certain direction, respectfully ushering Chen Qingdi and his guest inside.

In the main hall, a white tablecloth was spread over a long table that stretched more than ten meters.

The table was laden with all sorts of delicacies: Kobe beef, caviar, French foie gras, abalone, Australian lobster, and more.

Nearly every dish was a gourmet creation made from precious ingredients worth hundreds of thousands.

After seating Ye Shi Yi, Chen Qingdi had Steward Li open a bottle of ’82 Lafite.

"Shiyi, if you hadn’t taken care of me back then, I probably would have starved to death long ago."

"Now that I’ve made it, what’s mine is yours."

"Whatever you want, just ask. I’ll get it for you."

Chen Qingdi offered her another card—a golden bank card engraved with a single rose.

"This is the Rose Gold Card. There are only a hundred of them in the entire world, and it has no credit limit. Shiyi, you can use it to buy anything you want."

Seeing Chen Qingdi offer her the card, Ye Shi Yi quickly waved her hands in refusal.

"Qingdi, I know it’s not easy to earn money. This gift is too precious; I can’t accept it."

"I only want you to be safe and healthy. That’s my greatest wish."

Ye Shi Yi handed the card back to Chen Qingdi, her eyes filled with fond affection.

"Sis, I’m giving this to you, so please, just take it."

Chen Qingdi pushed the card back toward her. Just as Ye Shi Yi was about to speak, he cut her off.

"That’s enough. Don’t say another word. Let’s eat."

Hearing this, Ye Shi Yi said no more. She accepted the card, wiped it carefully, and slipped it into her pocket.

"By the way, Shiyi, I thought you were in Yunhai City?"

"Why did you come back? And why are you working as a waitress at that hotel?"

Chen Qingdi asked casually.

"Sigh... Qingdi, I did go to Yunhai City. I even started my own company from scratch. At first, its prospects seemed limitless. But the boss of a rival company... I refused to go drinking with him, so he viciously suppressed my business until it went bankrupt!"

"I had no choice but to sell my car and my house. I returned to Jinghai, and a friend helped me find this job."

Ye Shi Yi recounted her whole ordeal to Chen Qingdi.

Chen Qingdi never imagined so much had happened while he was on Medical God Island. A pang of guilt instantly struck him.

"Shiqi, are Mr. Ye and Mrs. Wen doing alright?"

Chen Qingdi asked suddenly.

"My dad hit someone during a delivery, and the person ended up in a vegetative state. My parents have been looking after him ever since, paying his enormous medical bills every day. They even took on high-interest loans. Half of my salary goes to helping them pay off the debt, and I live on the other half."

Hearing this, Chen Qingdi felt that something was not right.

’Mr. Ye has been driving for decades. How could he have possibly hit someone?’

’It’s just not possible.’

With this in mind, Chen Qingdi turned to Chen Yuan, who was standing beside him.

"I need you to investigate the person Mr. Ye hit. Find out everything about his background. I want a full report in five minutes."

Upon hearing the order, Chen Yuan immediately left.

"Qingdi, what are you doing?"

Ye Shi Yi asked, puzzled.

"Sis, don’t worry about it. Just know that something about this is definitely suspicious."

Chen Qingdi had a gut feeling this was no ordinary car accident.

"Okay, Qingdi. I trust you. I’ll support you no matter what you do."

Ye Shi Yi smiled and started to reach out to touch Chen Qingdi’s face, wanting to see how much he had changed.

However, just then...

THUD!

Ye Shi Yi’s eyes rolled back in her head, and she collapsed on the spot.

Her body trembled uncontrollably, and her skin was like ice to the touch—bone-chillingly cold.

"Quick! Get a quiet room ready for me! I have to save Shiyi!"

Chen Qingdi rushed forward, caught Ye Shi Yi in his arms, and roared at the nearby maids.

Seeing the situation, the maids quickly carried Ye Shi Yi to a room and laid her down.

"All of you, get out. Don’t come in no matter what you hear."

Chen Qingdi dismissed everyone and shut the door.

He went to Ye Shi Yi’s side and took her pulse.

"’Illness from exhaustion... cold qi has invaded her body!’"

Chen Qingdi froze, shouting out Ye Qishi’s diagnosis in disbelief.

This condition often manifests in those who are overworked and have a naturally cold constitution.

This condition doesn’t manifest suddenly. It builds up over time until it reaches a critical point, at which time the cold qi floods the entire body.

’Looks like I’ll have to use the Nine Yang Mysterious Needle to expel the cold qi from Ye’s body.’

Chen Qingdi mentally reviewed the acupuncture pattern for the Nine Yang Mysterious Needle.

The Nine Yang Mysterious Needle was a top-tier acupuncture technique from the Dragon Country’s world of traditional medicine, one that had been lost for many years.

It was said that this technique could channel the Nine Yang Energy to cure grave illnesses and seal away malevolent spirits!

It could even eradicate every last trace of cold qi from someone with a naturally cold constitution.

However, performing this Cultivation Technique required unobstructed access to the body.

Blushing, Chen Qingdi placed his left hand on Ye Shi Yi’s body, a Golden Needle held in his right.

"Shiqi, please forgive me for this,"

Chen Qingdi whispered to the unconscious Ye Shi Yi before he began to unfasten her clothes.

Soon, all of Ye Shi Yi’s clothes were removed and tossed onto the floor.

Gazing at Ye Shi Yi’s full yet slender figure, a lustful fire suddenly flared up inside Chen Qingdi.

’Damn it! Of all the times for this to happen...’

Chen Qingdi cursed and quickly began reciting the mantra of the Ice Heart Technique.

"’Heart as pure as ice, unshaken though the heavens fall. Calm amidst myriad changes, spirit serene and qi at peace!’"

After he finished the chant, the lustful fire within him was instantly suppressed.

He felt his mind clear and his body refreshed, free of any distracting thoughts.

"True Qi Guiding Needle!"

At that moment, Chen Qingdi suddenly shouted, using the True Energy in his body to make all the Golden Needles float above his hand.

"Fall!"

The next second, Chen Qingdi bellowed.

Every Golden Needle landed flawlessly on Ye Shi Yi’s body. Color instantly returned to her once-bloodless cheeks, which now grew rosy.

Just as Chen Qingdi thought Ye Shi Yi was about to recover,

the cold qi inside Ye Shi Yi’s body suddenly began to pour out.
