Chapter 2: Chapter 002 [Treating the Symptoms and the Root Cause]
"You're even more skilled than Miracle Doctor Chu?"
Su Liuli was the first to recover from the shock. She looked at Ye Fan with disbelief and said, "Do you think we are idiots?"
"Whether you are an idiot, I don't know, but you are too noisy," Ye Fan glanced at Su Liuli. "If you would just shut up, perhaps I might save her."
"Young... young man, can you really cure our young lady's illness?"
Seeing how composed and somewhat haughty Ye Fan appeared, Uncle Fu doubted the astonishing statement Ye Fan had just made, yet he was convinced that Ye Fan was no ordinary person. To prevent Su Liuli from offending Ye Fan, he quickly spoke up to smooth things over.
"To cure or not to cure, just a single sentence," said Ye Fan with a slight raise of his brow. Having been raised by Chu Xuanji, he inherited some of the latter's pride, and he was somewhat displeased with the repeated doubts about his medical skills.
"Hello, my name is Su Yuxin. First, I apologize for our rudeness just now, and secondly, please forgive our loss of composure. Your words were truly shocking," said Su Yuxin.
Before Ye Fan could speak, Su Yuxin took a step forward, introduced herself, and then apologized for the recent incident. As she spoke, a faint spark of the will to live emerged in her originally dull eyes.
However—
She, who was known as the rising star of the Jiangnan Business World, didn't let the desire to survive cloud her judgment. Instead, she forcefully calmed herself down and asked, "Since you say you know medicine, do you know what illness I have?"
After Su Yuxin spoke, Uncle Fu also snapped out of his initial shock, inwardly admiring the young lady's composure; just one question was enough to determine if Ye Fan was merely boasting or truly capable.
Not just Uncle Fu, Su Liuli also realized this. She struggled to suppress her anger, remained silent, and—just like Su Yuxin and Uncle Fu—fixed her gaze intently on Ye Fan.
"With the temperature being at least forty degrees right now, yet you're shivering in these clothes, I'm afraid even a quack could tell what illness you have," Ye Fan said, feeling that Su Yuxin's question was redundant.
"The yin energy in your body is overwhelmingly strong, and your internal organs have already been damaged to a certain extent. If you don't seek treatment immediately, your life will be in danger."
"If it were the usual yin energy, some Pure Yang Medicine could treat it, but the yin energy in your body is no small matter. Initially, those medications could control the progression of the illness, but now they are completely useless, unless you can find the legendary Fire Spirit Fruit," explained Ye Fan.
Looking at Su Yuxin, he continued, "However, with your special constitution, even the Fire Spirit Fruit, rare as it is, can only temporarily alleviate the symptoms and not cure the underlying condition..."
"Then what do you suggest for treating my sister's illness?"
Watching as Ye Fan spoke with such conviction and authority, Su Liuli dismissed her doubts and eagerly asked.
Compared to saving Su Yuxin's life, the minor conflict she had with Ye Fan was negligible.
Uncle Fu had wanted to ask the same question but was preempted by Su Liuli. He held his breath anxiously.
Even Su Yuxin, who was always calm and composed, found her heart in her throat, her face, which was already pale, now dominated by a mix of excitement and anxiety.
It felt as if a drowning person had grasped the last straw that could save their life!
"Touching hands for temporary relief, intimacy for a cure," Ye Fan did not mince words and got straight to the point. He possessed an Extremely Yang Body, abundant with yang energy coursing through his blood and power, which could fully extract the yin energy from Su Yuxin's body, but to completely eradicate it, he would need to engage in intimacy with her.
"What... what??" Uncle Fu, upon hearing this, widened his eyes in disbelief, looking at Ye Fan as if questioning whether there was something wrong with his ears!
Simultaneously, sisters Su Yuxin and Su Liuli had their faces locked in a frozen state of shock and excitement, replaced by unparalleled astonishment!
It seemed... they could never have dreamed that Ye Fan, who had just exhibited the demeanor of a master, would provide such a provocative response!
Touching hands?
Intimate affairs??
In their eyes, this wasn't healing but lewd behavior!
"I need to use Power to eliminate the yin energy from her body, which requires skin-to-skin contact..."
Seeing the three of them stunned in place, Ye Fan realized his words were somewhat inappropriate and tried to clarify.
However—
Before he could finish explaining, Su Liuli was the first to snap out of her shock. She extended her fair finger, pointed at Ye Fan, and scolded angrily, "Stinky hooligan, get lost!"
"Aside from the method I just mentioned, there is no other way to treat your illness. Whether you want to be treated or not is up to you." Seeing Su Liuli's outburst, Ye Fan knew it was pointless to explain further and decided to be frank with Su Yuxin.
Under the scorching sun, Su Yuxin's face lost all signs of excitement and tension, reverting back to her usual indifference.
She looked deeply at Ye Fan, trying to see through him, but found that his gaze contained no trace of lust, as calm as a lake without a single ripple.
"Stinky hooligan, if you don't leave now, don't blame me for being rude!"
Su Liuli was already displeased with Ye Fan, and though she was previously impressed by his distinguished demeanor, now that Ye Fan's 'magic trick' was exposed, her impression of him had plummeted. Seeing him trying to 'deceive' Su Yuxin, she became furious.
"Liuli, don't be unreasonable!"
Despite Ye Fan's gaze being devoid of any indecent intentions, Su Yuxin, who had been educated in science since childhood, also didn't believe in the method Ye Fan had described as a cure. She first stopped Su Liuli, then said to Ye Fan, "Thank you for your diagnosis just now. Uncle Fu, let's go."
Upon hearing her words, Ye Fan, realizing Su Yuxin also considered his words to be nonsense, helplessly shrugged his shoulders, no longer making a fool of himself, and turned to leave directly.
"Yu Xin, it's not worth getting upset over such a stinky rogue. Don't be angry,"
Next to the Range Rover, Su Liuli tried to soothe Su Yuxin's feelings, completely unaware that she was even angrier with Ye Fan herself.
Su Yuxin gave no answer but simply watched as Ye Fan disappeared into the woods beside the dirt road ahead.
"Miss, Miss Second is right. We shouldn't take his words to heart."
Even though Uncle Fu was convinced that Ye Fan was no ordinary person, he couldn't believe in Ye Fan's healing method. Just like Su Liuli, he comforted, "Miracle Doctor Chu will surely be able to cure Miss's illness."
"Uncle Fu is right."
Su Liuli hurriedly agreed, "Yu Xin, think about it. Five years ago, when the destroy virus erupted, humanity faced the greatest catastrophe in history. If it weren't for Miracle Doctor Chu contributing to the research of the medicine, humanity might have already perished—If Miracle Doctor Chu could develop a medicine to resist the destroy virus, wouldn't it be easy for him to cure your illness?"
As the consoling words of the two echoed in her ears, Su Yuxin sighed inwardly.
She knew that during the catastrophe five years ago, because Chu Xuanji was involved in the development of the medicine to resist the destroy virus, humanity was saved, and the world structure had changed. Over two hundred countries had become the Six Great Forces, namely China, American Alliance, European Union, Tianzhu, African Union, and Russian Alliance. China, being the first to develop the medicine, had swiftly risen to the top of the Six Great Forces!
It could be said that Chu Xuanji was not only a hero of China but of all humanity!
Such a person, not to mention a mere descendant of the Su Family like herself, even those in power would have to treat him with courtesy upon meeting him.
In such a circumstance, she didn't believe that a significant figure like Chu Xuanji would treat her illness, especially when... according to information obtained by the Su Family, had many high officials and nobles sought treatment from him to no avail before the catastrophe?
In a sense, her guess was not wrong.
Only—
What she didn't know was that the old man considered a hero by all humanity never dared to mention the word 'hero' in front of one person.
Ye Fan!
