The Yao Emperor and His Human Doctor.

Chapter 25 - Have You Gone Crazy?

"Dr. Su! Are you aware of what you did? Have you gone crazy?!" Lang Ko had seriously regretted bringing this patient for Su Ning to consult.
"Hmm..."
The panther ran his hand over his head nervously. "You know that Dong Li was recently reincarnated, he's not even a hundred years old yet and then he was diagnosed with this tumor in his head, he can live a few more good years without anyone messing with it!"

“Living another fifty years, suffering from excruciating headaches and seeing your mental and spiritual capabilities dwindle…” Su Ning added. "Does the Sect Master feel good about this? Or why else would she bring the case to me if she didn't expect me to have any suggestions to remedy this?"

"I was hoping that you would have some more effective palliative treatment than what we have! Do you know why operating on a qilin isn't possible? If you open its body, a self-defense mechanism will burn you until there are no ashes left! Besides, No anesthetic will make him sleep! It has no effect! Do you intend to operate on him while he is awake???"

"I know that."
"And what are you going to do then?"
"I need the help of two assistants, An Shu and Fang Yin, one of the flower fairies who stayed at my clinic. That will be enough. And I need my briefcase too."
Lang Ko "......"
The lady doctor wished she could go back in time. Now she understood why Qiang Yong was so uncomfortable with this person! She took three deep breaths.

"I tried to put that idea out of Dong Lin's head, but you seem like you have a power to captivate your patients."
"Not all of them. There was one that even tried to swallow me after I treated him."
"That's beside the point now! Well! Dong Lin is determined to operate, but he was a patient under my responsibility. I convinced him to see you so I will also participate in this procedure! If I see that this has no chance of happening be successful as you say, I will stop immediately! Do you understand???"

“Perfectly, Sect Master.
"Great! I'll provide what you asked for. So wait right here in my room, don't leave here for anything in the world and I'll come back with what you asked for."
Lang Ko left, leaving him sitting well-behaved on the sofa. Qiang Yong was leaning in a corner of the room, silently, just watching the spectacle of the doctor lecturing the human. THAT was something he would never miss!

The Emperor even felt a little sorry for the doctor... He recognized this scene very well. It's good that it wasn't just him that Dr. Su was like this. He acted the same way with anyone, always explaining everything half-heartedly, keeping secrets while pretending to have a life as transparent as glass.

Qiang Yong cleared his throat to get the doctor's attention, who remained in his aerial posture as if nothing else existed. Su Ning turned to him, impassive. "What is it? Is there something in your throat? The cold of the altitudes does not favor this region and is not beneficial for fire dragons."
Qian Young ".........." But this person is really hopeless!

The Emperor let out a sigh.
"Dr. Su really doesn't change... you're so insensitive."
"How can I be insensitive? What are you talking about?" Su Ning furrowed his eyebrows. He seemed quite surprised by this statement.
"I don't think you realize it but when it comes to the patient's companions you expect us to trust you blindly and leave us at the mercy of your secrets." Qiang Yong explained sincerely. It was the first time he was able to express what he felt in his heart without being aggressive towards the doctor. Perhaps he would begin to understand a little what Su Ning was like.

Dr. Su did not interrupt him and realizing that he had captured the doctor's attention, Qiang Yong continued.
"You only gave the Empress's diagnosis at the last moment and now with Lang Ko, who is also a doctor, you left her completely in the dark regarding how you are going to perform the surgery. I'm very surprised that she didn't question you more. It must be because You may have been successful so far, but that doesn't guarantee that you won't fail some of the time."

Su Ning lowered his head, digesting the new information. He suddenly looked lost and confused for the first time, which made Qian Young feel like he was on the right track to deal with him. Su Ning finally looked up and a faint blush appeared on his face.
"I never realized that... all the patients who came to me were always so desperate, I just focused on treating them without explaining anything. But the Emperor and the Sect Master are the first ones who want to know the details of the disease. I'm really not used to it."

Qiang Yong continued to observe him, the doctor seemed really worried about this. After some time of reflection, Su Ning laughed to himself.
"Hehe, it's good when there's someone to warn me about this kind of thing. An Shu never complains about anything so I don't have anyone to police me. I really appreciate your warning, Emperor. When Lang Ko returns, I'll talk to her further." "
Qiang Yong looked him suspiciously, he never thought that Su Ning would listen to him.

Instead of looking upset, the doctor seemed very pleased. Sitting under the sofa, he wore a placid smile without losing his tenacity. Qiang Yong remembered that he hadn't finished the previous conversation, but the doctor was about to undergo surgery and it wouldn't be good to disturb his concentration. Perhaps talking about this topic would be more beneficial.

"Huh... since you're trying hard to pay more attention to your companions, let's train a little. Is Qilin's case very serious? I don't know the details about his illness." Qiang Yong tried to start a conversation. It was the first time he tried to get along with this human and he felt strange. He had long imagined what it would be like to be able to talk to a certain person, but it never came to fruition and he had already forgotten how he intended to do it.

"Yes. Dong Lin has a tumor on the left side of his head. He is suffering from severe migraines and gradual loss of psychic ability because of this. The pain greatly interferes with the use of spiritual powers... He is also already experiencing loss of vision left. The tumor is very large and is feeding on it. The best option is to remove it as soon as possible."

"And why didn't they remove it sooner?"
"First because the qilin's body will burn anyone who tries to open it. Two, because there is no efficient anesthesia for qilins. And three because there can be a lot of blood loss, which could lead to death."

"And do you have a way to get around all of this?" It was Lang Ko's voice that had returned. She had already made arrangements and came to get the doctor.
"Ah, Dr. Lang Ko." Su Ning smiled, her eyes shining. "I need to explain to you some details that I should have considered talking about before. Sorry to be humble, but until today I have only had the privilege of exchanging ideas with Dr. Han."
Lang Ko sat sternly, crossing his legs. "You can start talking. I can't wait any longer to find out how you intend to get around everything you just said."
