Chapter 88: The Taming of the Ghost Doctor (2)

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Who could ever claim that they would never be in need of an emergency treatment within their lifetime?

However, the Ghost Doctor was rather contradicting in her actions. She would never accept disciples, and did not like to have any observers while she was treating her patients. If you offended her, then she would refuse to treat your ailments no matter the price! She has also refused to join any of the current influential organizations.

Gu Ruoyun smiled, "So the great Ghost Doctor only knows a few silly tricks... I thought that the Ghost Doctor would be someone very capable and skilled. I didn’t expect for it to simply be rumors that blew everything out of proportion. Even if you were willing to accept me as your disciple, I wouldn’t want to have you as my master."

"Bang!"

The Ghost Doctor slammed her fist on the table and suddenly rose from her seat. The scars on her face became warped, making her look terribly sinister, "You’ve got guts, you silly little girl! You dare mock my medical skills? Who knows what you were even doing when I made my name as the Ghost Doctor!"

"Oh? Is that so?" Gu Ruoyun raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Since you’re so amazing, then why can’t you cure the scars on your own face?"

The scars on the Ghost Doctor’s face were the sorrows of her entire life. Even now, just thinking about them would cause her heart to ache just as much as it did when they first appeared. Back then, her medical skills were still weak. So all she could do was treat the poison that was infecting her wounds. However, she was unable to restore her original appearance. Even though her medical skills had improved by leaps and bounds since then, her wounds have long aged over the passage of time. How could she possibly treat them now?

Thus, when Gu Ruoyun spoke of her wounds, her face turned black in an instant. A murderous intent suddenly erupted from her body, spreading around the entire hall.

Mister Liu grew anxious, "Lady Gu, please don’t offend the Ghost Doctor any further. If you continue on this way, then my wife won't receive her treatment."

He was regretting it now. He was completely regretting it.

If he had known that Gu Ruoyun would speak to her in this manner, he would never have brought her here. Judging by the Honorable Ghost Doctor’s temper, if anyone were to provoke her, she might not kill the person, but she would refuse to treat them…

"Don’t worry, even if the Ghost Doctor refuses to treat your wife, I’ll be able to return her a clean bill of health," Gu Ruoyun smiled, "Furthermore, I can see that this Ghost Doctor isn’t all that skilled after all, otherwise she would never have left the wounds on her face untreated."

"Hahaha!"

The Ghost Doctor burst into wild laughter. She gritted her teeth with rage as murderous intent burned clearly in her beautiful eyes.

"How boastful of a little girl. This is the first time I’ve ever seen such actions from a little girl! I wasn’t able to treat the wounds on my face, but that’s because it has been far too long. There’s not a single person on this mainland who can cure an affliction that I cannot."

"Is that so? So, what if I’m able to cure it?"

The young girl’s clam and tranquil voice startled the Ghost Doctor momentarily. She then let out a peal of loud laughter, "You’re far too arrogant, little girl. I’ve already told you, no one can cure an affliction that I cannot!"

The corner of the Ghost Doctor's lips carried a trace of disdain. Her mocking gaze swept over the girl’s pretty, delicate face. She never believed that someone in this world could actually surpass her medical skills. So it was even more impossible that that "someone" would turn out to be this girl, who still stank of her mother’s milk!

Seeing how the Ghost Doctor was already hooked, Gu Ruoyun's smile grew even more prominent, "If I successfully cure you, what will you give me for it in return?"

"Hmph!" The Ghost Doctor scoffed, "If you can successfully cure me, then I’ll tell the entire mainland that I, the Ghost Doctor, am no match for your skills."

Gu Ruoyun smiled gently, raised her index finger, and waved it in front of the Ghost Doctor. She shook her head and said, "No, I don’t need you to say that. You’re still the best medicinal practitioner in the mainland. However, I want you to swear your fealty to me and dedicate your entire life to me — never to leave or betray me! If you dare swear that, I dare prove my words to you."

The Ghost Doctor stared blankly for a short moment. I had always enjoyed my freedom, and have even rejected all invitations from influential sects. Now, this little girl is asking me to swear my fealty to her?

"Why? Are you scared?" Gu Ruoyun shrugged, "I’ve always thought that the Ghost Doctor would have more courage than anyone else. I didn’t think that a small little wager like this would scare you away. Since that's the case, then forget about it, I’m leaving now."

Gu Ruoyun then shook her head, her face full of disappointment.

Seeing how Gu Ruoyun was about to leave, the Ghost Doctor grit her teeth and said, "Hmph! Who told you that I was scared? Unless the Celestial Deity Daluo arrives, no one else can remove the scar on my face. It’s impossible for a silly little girl like you, no matter how great your abilities are! Fine then! I’ll accept your challenge! If you manage to remove the scars on my face, I’ll swear my fealty to you. If I ever betray you, I’ll willingly allow my family line to end with me, and enter the 18 levels of hell, never to be reborn."

Never underestimate the power of oaths. In this mainland filled with miracles, no one would dare violate their oaths, for fear of regretting the consequences in the future.

Once, there was a strong cultivator who broke his oath, and in the end, in accordance with the oath he made, his four limbs were broken and he was turned into ashes by lightning.

Thus, once you have made an oath, you had to follow it through!

Gu Ruoyun paused in her footsteps, she turned to look at the Ghost Doctor who was still gritting her teeth. She smiled as if she was getting away with some sinister plot.

"Take this Beauty Rejuvenation Pill."

Beauty Rejuvenation Pill? The Ghost Doctor was momentarily stunned. She looked hesitatingly at the pill in Gu Ruoyun’s hands. Finally, she took the Beauty Rejuvenation Pill and carefully swallowed it down.

The reason why the Ghost Doctor would daringly take the Beauty Rejuvenation Pill, was entirely because she was an expert in poison. Furthermore, she had already become immune to most types of poison and was not afraid of being harmed by Gu Ruoyun.

"Hmph! Let’s see how you’re going to end this!"

The Ghost Doctor scoffed and replied mockingly.

However, just as she had finished speaking, the wounds on her face began to itch, as if ten thousand ants were crawling over her wounds. It was so itchy that she couldn’t help but raise up hands to her face to scratch her wounds…

Suddenly, Gu Ruoyun's single rebuke stopped her hand.

"Don’t scratch, or you will bear the consequences on your own!"

"You…" The Ghost Doctor was infuriated to the point of insanity, "I’ve already become immune to most types of poison eight years ago, how is your medicine affecting me? What grudge do we have between us, for you to come here, simply to harm me?"

I have been too careless, she thought regretfully, thinking that I was immune to poison. And now, I have fallen into this little girl’s plot.

The Ghost Doctor grew so angry at the thought, that she gritted her teeth until it ached but she did not dare to make any reckless moves.

"Hon… Honorable Ghost Doctor, your face…" Mister Liu let out a cry out of shock. He was completely tongue-tied.

"What's happened to my face?"

The Ghost Doctor frowned and snatched up the mirror from a table. Then, with one glance, she was rooted to the ground in shock…

The terrible scars on her face were forming scabs bit by bit, then falling off her face. After every fallen scab, the light pink wounds then rapidly changed back into fair white skin …

There must be something wrong with my eyes! She thought in shock. That’s right, I must be going blind!

There was no need to mention about how hard it was to treat old wounds, even with the strongest medicines, there would not be any results so quickly. Furthermore, the scars were recovering at a speed that the human eye could clearly see.

What does this mean? She thought in panic. It was terribly frightening!

The Ghost Doctor stayed so still that she seemed lifeless. Suddenly, she burst into wild laughter — a kind that carried unbridled joy.

"You wretched couple… For the sake of stealing the Treasury of Medicine that the master left in my care, you joined forces and ruined my face… You've even poisoned the wounds you left, in order to use the antidote as a means to force me to give you the book. You probably never would have thought that I would successfully escape and cure the poison! It’s been ten years... For ten years, your betrayal has always come to mind whenever I look upon the wounds on my face! I never thought that I could ever recover my original appearance…"
