Free Web NovelChapter 1559: Chapter 1558: Deepest Gratitude
"Hold on!"
This time, Miss Cui suddenly got off the bed.
Forcing herself to endure the pain, she looked at Fang Yu with a deathly pale face.
"Doctor, please do me a favor and give me some face. Sit down and listen to me say a few words, will you?"
Fang Yu hadn’t expected this.
The change in Miss Cui’s attitude was so drastic that he couldn’t help feeling surprised.
Seeing her so sincere, Fang Yu sat down as well, planning to listen and see what exactly she could say.
"Doctor, how should I address you?"
"Fang Yu."
"An Earth human name."
"So is yours. ’Cui’ is also a very common surname on Earth."
"Of course. The original human civilization was left behind on Earth by the ancestors of the Red County Star Domain."
Miss Cui slowly sat back down.
"Actually, I understand everything you said just now, I really do. This kind of thing has always existed. It’s the sense of pride and dignity the Divine Race has accumulated over many years. It’s not something I alone can decide. Mister Fang, I’ve had a human appearance for close to a hundred thousand years. In these past hundred thousand years, whenever I felt that I myself was human, tell me, could I still look down on humans?"
That was indeed a point. Miss Cui herself had a human appearance. Over time, many people would still say things tinged with discrimination against Earth humans in front of her. Naturally she would take it personally, thinking they were mocking her.
From that angle, Miss Cui had no reason to despise herself.
"So I’ve never discriminated against Earth humans. There’s something you might not know: when I first realized how different I looked from other Divine Race members, I went to the library to dig up information on humans. So I’d say I know a fair bit."
"I know what you meant by those words. I just didn’t expect you to speak up on behalf of humans. I also know why you asked me to go question my father—you suspect that I’m a half‑breed?"
"To be honest, I’ve suspected the same, but I’ve never been able to confirm it. To this day there’s no conclusive proof. My father is even less likely to spread such a thing. If the other provinces found out I was mixed‑blood, the honor of the Cui Family would be greatly tarnished."
"So, do you understand what I’m saying, Mister Fang?"
After listening to her, Fang Yu was somewhat surprised. It seemed she knew everything and understood everything.
"Miss Cui really doesn’t look down on Earth humans at all?"
This question made Miss Cui look at Fang Yu in puzzlement.
"Mister Fang speaks up for Earth humans so much, and you keep circling back to that topic as if you were the one who’s an Earth human." ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Once she said that, Fang Yu was stunned. He immediately realized he’d said too much. The more you talk, the more likely you are to slip. The more you do this, the easier it is to say the wrong thing. This wasn’t the time to be proving anything for Earth humans. Even if they admitted it and allowed Earth humans to stand on equal footing with them, so what?
Thinking of this, Fang Yu suddenly felt that what he’d done today was a bit childish. In a jungle ruled by the Law of the strong devouring the weak, who would still talk to you about equality and fairness?
Do humans ever talk to ants about fairness?
"I just felt a bit emotional, that’s all," Fang Yu said at once. "In the Red County Star Domain, there are ten planets in total. On the other nine planets, many Divine Race members and even other lifeforms have extremely low status. I’m from those despised places, so I feel this very deeply. I just want to make a slight change, that’s all."
Miss Cui couldn’t help but smile faintly.
"How insignificant is an individual’s power? Don’t talk about you—even if the entire Main Planet wanted to change this situation, it would be almost impossible. This is a tradition passed down for countless years, already deeply rooted."
"I know."
"But this quality of yours is worthy of my respect, Mister Fang. I may be the eldest young lady of the Cui Family, but I’ve never dared consider myself superior to others. What you said today was an eye‑opener for me. I’m Divine Race by birth. Even though I have a human face and human genes, none of that can change my status. Why should I care about those rumors and slander?"
"If you can figure it out, all the better."
"So can Mister Fang treat me now?"
Fang Yu glanced at Miss Cui calmly. If he refused now, he probably wouldn’t be able to leave at all. She currently needed something from him; otherwise, if he just walked away, it might backfire.
It was better to fulfill her request and earn a favor.
"Of course."
"The High Class doctors say my illness requires organ replacement. I really don’t want to replace my organs with someone else’s. Using something that isn’t mine has always felt wrong to me. If Mister Fang has a way, I will be endlessly grateful."
Fang Yu chuckled. In fact, when he first saw Miss Cui’s wrist, he’d already come up with a treatment plan. After all, she had human genes. If the patient were pure Divine Race, he might need to use a Divine Artifact, because the Divine Race’s skin and flesh are tough; ordinary tools can hardly cut through. Even if he didn’t resort to Divine Artifacts, he’d still need to use Energy Magic Patterns. For Fang Yu, mobilizing his own Primordial Qi like that would easily expose his identity.
But treating someone with human genes wasn’t nearly so complicated.
The procedure was relatively simple.
In this regard, Fang Yu considered himself far more experienced than the other Divine Race, since they’d had very few opportunities to treat humans.
"Of course I have a way to treat you. I just need your cooperation, Miss Cui."
"I wonder what method Mister Fang plans to use."
"I’ll mobilize Primordial Qi to first restore your face. Then I will shatter your internal organs and use precise Primordial Qi manipulation to reshape your liver."
Miss Cui’s expression changed slightly. Wasn’t that basically killing someone?
She couldn’t help furrowing her brows. For a brief instant, Miss Cui felt that this Mister Fang in front of her might be an Assassin sent by some spy.
But she quickly dismissed the thought. After all, if he were an Assassin, there’d have been no need to say so much to her, especially not about Earth humans.
Besides, being an Assassin was a very lowly profession. He clearly had the ability to be a Doctor, so why would he be an Assassin?
"You have to trust me. Besides, you don’t have a choice right now."
"Fine, I’ll trust you."
In truth, Miss Cui really didn’t have a choice. She’d been sick for too long, and her remaining time was short. Rather than wait for death, she might as well take a gamble.
"Now please lie down. I’ll begin treatment."
Following Fang Yu’s instructions, Miss Cui went to the bedside.
She lay down quietly.
Fang Yu raised his hand slightly.
At that moment, a faint strand of Energy shot into her mind with lightning speed, faster than the ear could register.
In an instant, Miss Cui lost consciousness.
The treatment method was, after all, a human one; he couldn’t let her notice it. So he’d decided from the start to knock her out.
Only this way could he ensure his identity wouldn’t be exposed.
Then, lines of Energy Mantra began to appear in Fang Yu’s hand.
With his countless experiences, casting them was clearly effortless.
After all, in this Red County Star Domain, the abundance of Energy and the dense Primordial Qi made everything much easier.
Fang Yu was like an artist.
He began to move back and forth over Miss Cui’s body, sketching out his own work of art.
