Chapter 24: Chapter 24 Doctor Zhao at the Foot of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain!

"Young Master, I’m feeling a bit better now, please let me walk on my own..."

As dawn broke, the wound on Qin Yaotiao’s back had also stopped bleeding.

Lu Chen hadn’t slept all night, hadn’t eaten a morsel, nor had he drunk a sip of water, and his steps were somewhat shaky, which filled Qin Yaotiao with immense heartache.

"How can you walk? What if you start bleeding again!"

Lu Chen feigned anger.

But the speaker was unintentional, the listener was intent; Qin Yaotiao couldn’t help but recall that last frenzied night, the blood-soaked bed sheet she had cut a piece from and still stuffed in her bosom.

She was too shy to speak and simply buried her head deeply into Lu Chen’s back.

When the sun fully rose above the horizon, Lu Chen saw the outline of the town.

"Yaotiao, we’ll be there soon."

With a destination in sight, Lu Chen suddenly found the strength and hurried towards the location in his memory.

In Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, demonic beasts roamed freely, and various herbs could be found, making it an excellent place for martial artists to seek treasure and temper themselves.

The town was established because of this.

After rushing into the town, Lu Chen found a dilapidated courtyard.

"Is Physician Zhao in?"

He gently set down Qin Yaotiao and then knocked on the door.

Squeak!

The courtyard door opened, and a youthful face emerged, "Physician Zhao hasn’t gotten up yet; I don’t know if he will see patients today!"

As a petitioner, although Lu Chen was in a hurry, he could only put on a smile and said, "Young man, I carry a fortune with me, only asking Physician Zhao to take a look at her injuries!"

"Physician Zhao doesn’t treat for money," the youth said, "what does it matter whether you have a fortune or not?"

"It was my mistake," Lu Chen apologized, his mind racing for a reason to get the youth to let him in. Once inside, he would have a chance to wait for Physician Zhao, but at that moment, a lazy voice came from inside the house.

"The weather’s good today; let’s see the patient, let him in!"

"Yes, Physician!"

The young man nodded slightly and opened the door wider.

Lu Chen quickly picked up Qin Yaotiao and followed inside.

The courtyard was extremely simple, and a shed was set up against the right side wall.

Under the shed was a wooden bed.

Next to the wooden bed was a table and a chair.

On the table were some instruments.

Lu Chen recognized them; these were the tools used by Physician Zhao to treat and heal people.

He had been lying on that bed last time when Physician Zhao helped him remove a demonic beast’s claw from his back.

"Eh? You are Lu Chen?"

Lu Chen was still lost in his memories when Physician Zhao’s voice suddenly brought him back to the present.

His heart startled, he hadn’t expected Physician Zhao to remember him!

There was a rumor in the town.

Physician Zhao only recognized the sickness, not the person!

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have brought Qin Yaotiao here!

But he hadn’t expected...

"No need to be surprised," Physician Zhao first smiled and then straightened his face and said coldly, "Zhao has already made it a rule, one person can only be treated here once in their lifetime! You, go back!"

Obviously, he had noticed the injuries on Lu Chen!

Lu Chen quickly said, "Physician Zhao, you misunderstand! It’s not me who’s seeking treatment, it’s for her!"

Physician Zhao looked indifferently at Qin Yaotiao, "This woman’s injury is not life-threatening, and she does not meet my criteria. You can go back to where you..."

Before he could finish, Physician Zhao’s expression changed abruptly, and he quickly stepped forward, laying his hand on Qin Yaotiao’s wrist!

After only a few breaths, Physician Zhao’s eyes widened with ecstatic surprise!

"This woman, I will treat!"

Lu Chen was both shocked and overjoyed, and he quickly asked, "Physician Zhao, should I leave her here then?"

"No," Physician Zhao shook his head and looked towards his own house, "Her back wound is nothing; but within her body..."

Lu Chen knew Physician Zhao was idiosyncratic, so hearing him comment that Qin Yaotiao’s back wound was nothing, he breathed a sigh of relief and did not dare to ask too much. Instead, he added, "Physician Zhao, what about the scars on her face..."

Physician Zhao indifferently said, "The injury on her face can be left untreated! If Zhao can resolve her body’s conditions, the face won’t be a problem either! However, on the other hand, what is your relationship to this woman?"

"I am the Young Master’s maidservant!"

"She is my wife!"

Qin Yaotiao and Lu Chen virtually spoke in unison!

Physician Zhao squinted and glanced over the characters on Qin Yaotiao’s face, and said with a sly smile, "Lu Chen, I didn’t expect the peerless genius of Yuzhou City, as a cripple, would still be subjected to humiliation by others!"

Lu Chen frowned and said, "Physician Zhao, what do you mean?"

"Nothing much," Physician Zhao said with a faint smile, "I’m considering your situation! To treat your woman, I need a type of spiritual medicine! I don’t have it here, but it can be found in Ten Thousand Demon Mountain! Ten Thousand Demon Mountain is fraught with demons, and you also have enemies. Tell me, do you dare to go?"
