The Yao Emperor and His Human Doctor.

Extra 3 - The vinegar of Ren Shyu (2)

The young dragon leaned against the wall, trembling. Unintentionally he remembered when he and Su Ning were attacked by Xing Ou Yang and the doctor was seriously injured. With this memory, he accidentally ended up vomiting some bile. Luckily he was close to Han Chia and the fox supported him.

At that, Su Ning had already rushed over to the group. "Take him to room 3!" He asked the group, and he himself went ahead, indicating where it was. An Shu immediately ran after, to help prepare surgery tools if necessary.
The three yao left, helpless, while the doctor helped his colleague.

The four were traveling in a wagon when they were attacked by robbers. As their goods were expensive and difficult to obtain, they fought back, but their colleague ended up being seriously stabbed. Ren Shyu's head was spinning from so much information. Maybe it wasn't a good idea to be a doctor, if he couldn't even see blood, he wouldn't even be fit to be Qiang Yong's successor.

Han Chia finished his previous service and poured a glass of water for Ren Shyu, who accepted it embarrassedly.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you..."
"It didn't hurt, Dr. Su is already dealing with the case." Han Chia nevertheless shook his head.
"Don't cover yourself so much. Seeing blood like that shocks everyone the first time. I went through it and even Su Ning must have gone through it. Not that you're weak or anything."

Ren Shyu nodded, not very convinced. Han Chia went out to clean up the blood-stained hallways (and a small puddle of vomit). Meanwhile the dragon went to the trio of birds.
"Where were you attacked and what did you see of the thieves?"
The yao told in detail everything they knew. The dragon then asked the fox for permission and left.

Outside the clinic, he transformed into his draconic form and took flight. It had been a while since he had flown and the cold air on his face was invigorating. In any case, he had a mission to fulfill and he would like to return to the clinic as soon as possible. Su Ning might think that he had given up on learning the profession.

Ren Shyu then used his keen sense of sight and searched the mountain. The birds were attacked right under the emperor's nose! This was a direct face to them! What were these thieves thinking? Just because Qiang Yong was newly married did he loosen the noose around their necks?

The dragon traveled almost a li, covering a large area and found suspicious movement. The thieves took the carriage with the merchandise and he followed the wheel tracks on the ground to the criminals' lair. He descended in absolute silence and dodged through the vegetation, spying what appeared to be an old cabin hidden in the cave.

A large wolf yao walked out, wiping the blood off his hands with an old rag. There were four others with him, complaining and arguing among themselves.
"As if intercepting them near the Emperor's Fortress wasn't enough, you even had to injure one of them!" One of the wolves grumbled in alarm. "Now the dragons will soon come after us!"

"That's not a problem, we'll spend the night hiding here, they'll think we're long gone and won't look for us nearby. Then we'll leave as soon as possible."
Then he growled. "If you had caught the other three, no one would have known about the robbery and we would still have dinner!"
"It's hard to hunt birds!" Another responded, walking away angrily.

Ren Shyu considered his possibilities. There were five wolves, the strongest of them seemed to be the alpha and the most aggressive of the pack. If he managed the four separately, he could face the leader with the greatest chance of victory. The dragon sighed sadly, if it had been Qiang Yong or his mother, they would have taken care of the wolves in one fell swoop.

He observed one of the wolves moving away irritably after this argument, heading towards the river to look for water.
I don't need to be the strongest, I just need you to make a mistake! When did he hear that? The dragon tried to remember. That was when Su Ning sealed Xing Ou Yang! The doctor certainly wasn't as strong as that monster and he won anyway!

Excited, Ren Shyu finally sat up to what he wanted to do. He just needed to be attentive and wait to take advantage of opportunities, because even the strongest make mistakes! And in this case they made one mistake after another, starting with letting their victims escape.

The dragon followed the wolf stealthily and as soon as he bent down to get the water, he delivered a sharp blow to the back of the head. The wolf fell forward unconscious and Ren Shyu dragged him away. Taking out a rope from his qiankun sleeve, he tied him up. There were four left now. It was likely that with this one gone, others would soon follow, so he ran to hide under a tree.

Wolves had a keen sense of smell and hearing, so it was best to stay out of range of their senses.
As predicted, the other two soon came thinking that their companion was taking too long.

"Where was that idiot? Did he get the water from the clouds by chance?"
He can't say anything else. Ren Shyu came down behind them and slammed their heads together hard. Two more wolves knocked out. There were still two more to go. After leaving the three securely tied up, the young dragon sneaked into the hut.

He just needed to capture one more and then think of a strategy to catch the alpha. He peered through the hut's window, trying to see its occupants, but a sudden shiver down his spine made him leave in time. A pair of claws almost grabbed him from behind and he kicked hard into the wolf's stomach, not before he gave a warning cry.
"Boss! There's an intruder here!"

He and Ren Shyu exchanged blows, but in the end the dragon was stronger and with just two attacks on vital points he managed to suppress his opponent.
But the warning had already been given and he couldn't even breathe for a second.
With a powerful howl, the alpha wolf attacked him next, barely missing him square in the ribs.

Ren Shyu quickly escaped from under his opponent's legs, with An Shu's training he started to dodge exactly like a snake. For those who previously considered the Snake Clan as inferior beings, the dragon sincerely had to reconsider his feelings. He thanked the Heavens that he had the opportunity to meet Su Ning and An Shu.

However, the wolf was also very fast and as soon as he escaped, the claws came after him. Although the dragon managed to hit some vital points, this wolf was resistant and hitting it felt like punching a wall.
"Is Qiang Yong so busy with his wife that he didn't even bother to come here?" The wolf laughed sarcastically.

Ren Shyu gritted his teeth, dodging another blow. The wolf felt that the little dragon was making fun of him, running around and tiring him for nothing. Then he managed to grab Ren Shyu's leg and managed to knock him to the ground.
"You damn dragon! I'm going to tear you into pieces!" The wolf roared.

Ren Shyu instinctively raised his arms to protect himself and revealed his scales. They would help block the cuts, but he didn't know how powerful those claws were.
He closed his eyes and bit his lip, waiting for the blow. He needed another strategy and fast!
