Heavenly Star

Ye Wuchen coldly said, “This older sister, if you really want to compete medical skills, then among these participants in the competition, you may challenge them one but one. My medical skills are too low, I will not accept any challenges.”

Shui Nanhe became anxious upon hearing these words and was just about to speak, yet he heard the beautiful woman said, “Oh? Little brother, why aren’t you willing to compete with this older sister, am I really that annoying?”

“Why would I compete with you?” Ye Wuchen hooked up smile in a corner of his mouth, and smiled indifferently, “I was just passing by, I am not here to attend the Medical Assembly, would you really like to compete with me, or am I required to compete with you?”

Beautiful Woman covered her mouth with one hand, the other was at her waist as she trembled with laughter. Some of the delicate parts of her body also trembled with her laughter, swaying gently with beauty. The swaying made a lot of people open their eyes wide, saliva almost flowing out from the corner of their mouths. “Little brother, your words really made me sad, I have mentioned before that if you win over me, there will be a reward for you.”

“Oh? What kind of reward will that be?” Ye Wuchen exposed an expression of being excited, as he asked.

“I will agree to one condition… Any condition.” Beautiful Woman walked a few steps forward, hinting with her charming eyes, when she approached him, Ye Wuchen could almost smell her fragrant breath. The fragrant natural body aroma faintly assailed his nostrils, quite intoxicating.

Any condition… Her attractive appearance, charming voice, beautiful body, this “whatever condition” made one think about all sorts of blood-spurting scenarios. If it was not for the limitations of this occasion, those old men on stage who were lying stiff like corpses almost stood up to remind people of their public morals. Below the stage there were small riots, some swallowing their saliva, some burning with envy, some were jeering…

“But if I lose?” Ye Wuchen remain unmoved and asked with a flat face.

“If you lose, then little brother you must agree to my one request. But Grandpa Medicine Expert has already told me that your medical talents already reached the top level and are incomparable. I have a very low medical skill level, how can I win?” Beautiful Woman said with a smiling face.

“Oh? In other words, you are actually giving me a free chance to do whatever I want with you? You and I are strangers coming together by chance, how can I take it?”

Beautiful Woman smiled charmingly, her eyes looked like they were covered in mist, “Oh! Little brother, it’s fine that you know, but why did you go and say it out loud? Such an attractive and intelligent young man, the moment I saw you, my soul almost floated towards your body, but I’m too shy to make a move, so I can only allow you to win. So, are you willing then, little brother?”

Beautiful Woman calling him a mouthful of “little brother,” his heart was too heated to be called that, yet she mumbled secretly, “Little brother… You are the little brother, your whole family is of little brothers.”

These words were too soft and too low that the people below the stage could not hear them clearly, yet the old men on stage were able to hear them very clearly. Each one of them had a strange face, but they could only restrain their state of mind, pretending not to hear anything. Normally, they would have jump up, using the tone of voice of elders to call out in anger, “In broad daylight, in the bright heaven and earth, a woman like you could say such a shameful thing, it’s really…”

Ye Wuchen shrugged his shoulders, “Charming men are everywhere, if you really want a man, you could just grab one random man and throw yourself at him.”

Beautiful Woman was startled upon hearing the words, her long eyelashes slightly drooped down, exposing an almost crying expression. “You really hurt me so bad if you say this. I’m thinking of you, little brother, with all my heart. There’s no other man that can take your place in my heart.” Soon after, she turned her eyes and in a greasy voice she said, “Little brother, what can I do to make you agree to compete with me? Would you consider me begging you?”

Shui Nanhe had lived for almost a hundred years, his high position in the Southern Empire Clan, allowed him to know so many people and thus, he became very mature in dealing with things. He had become an expert when it came to knowing people. This beautiful woman was showing off her attractive appearance, yet deep within her expressionless eyes, they were cold and clear. He was sure that she must be aiming against Ye Wuchen, so she was using this occasion and gave the condition. Shui Nanhe had just mentioned in public that Ye Wuchen’s medical achievements were far greater than him, but this woman had great confidence that she could win over Ye Wuchen… Could this woman be another astonishing person? Or maybe, she was the woman who fully defeated him five years ago, but this time with a different physical appearance.

With this thought in mind, how could Shui Nanhe just let the showdown of these two amazing persons of the medical field slip by? As for Beautiful Woman’s plan against Ye Wuchen, he did not care much about it. He hurriedly proceeded ahead, using a very bad psychological method as he thickened his face to spur them into action, “Young man, since this lady insisted, then why don’t you just compete with her without making trouble? Don’t tell me you’re afraid of a woman?”

Regarding the ability to discern things with one’s meticulous mind, Shui Nanhe was nothing compared to Ye Wuchen. Shui Nanhe could clearly see that Ye Wuchen knew of Beautiful Woman’s plan when she had made her very first statement. This, he was totally convinced of. To handle person who had a plan against him, the most perfect way of handling it was not to make the opponent’s plan become useless, but to go with the flow and seamlessly fight back by taking advantage of the situation and plan against the opponent in return.

Ever since the beginning, he had not planned to reject Beautiful Woman’s provocations.

“Since Elder Medicine Expert has requested as well, then I will make the effort to compete with you just once. But, we need to revise some of the conditions, if I win, you must agree to two of my requests, if you win, I’ll agree to your one request. You are the one who initiated this, if the conditions are the same, then that will be unfair for me.” Ye Wuchen said, his face had a grudging and unwilling expression.

Ye Wuchen believed that Beautiful Woman would certainly agree, because for her to give out conditions prior to this, without a doubt it meant she had extremely high self confidence. Even with the so-called medicine master Shui Nanhe’s proclamations she still had a sure-win confidence. Not just two, she might even agree to ten requests.

Beautiful Woman bent her brows and with a charming face, she said, “Little brother, you are so bad, but I become more and more fond of you. Since, little brother, you are too greedy, then as the older sister, I… Of course agreed to it.”

“Very well. Then, we can start now.” He turned to the old fellow, Qin, and asked, “President Qin, how do you usually start the competition?”

He was not worried that he would lose. The medical skills that he knew were more advanced than this world by so many years. The most important thing was that he possessed something that defied the natural, something that was multiple times more superior than any kind of medical skills—His powers.

Hearing him agree, Shui Nanhe heaved a sigh of relief and beamed with joy like he had found a large gold ingot. Two old eyes luminously flickered for fear that he might miss any details of the scenario that was soon to follow.

President Qin coughed twice, exhaled, then said, “This being the case, then I will take charge of your competition. Two young ones, what field would you like to compete in? Internal, external, needles, medicine, pulse…”

“Any.” The two of them replied almost simultaneously.

“... Very well, please be seated first.” President Qin pointed towards the empty bench.

Ye Wuchen and Beautiful Woman did not say anything more, they proceeded to sit down. Beautiful Woman had a smile on her attractive eyes and flirtingly glanced at him. Ye Wuchen gazed fixedly ahead, ignoring her. His mind thinking of methods to be used in the competition.

The crowd below the stage quickly turned silent, each and everyone with eyes wide open. A man regarded by the Medicine Expert as someone who had reached the top level of medical skills, and the other one voluntarily went up the stage, incomparably seductive. The interesting show hoisted everyone’s interest, one by one were expecting of the competition that was soon to follow. Those who came from all around the world to attend the Medical Assembly were not anxious, they engrossingly approached the stage, none of them resentful nor protesting.

“He also has good medical skills?” far behind the crowd, Meng Zhi looked at the expressionless Ye Wuchen, she could not help mumbling to herself. She obviously heard of Shui Nanhe’s fame, moreover she knew it more thoroughly than anyone else. Hearing him say that Ye Wuchen’s medical skills were far greater than his extremely shocked her.

Ning Xue heard her, and immediately nodded. She lifted her head and said, “Of course! Brother is the most powerful man in the world, he can do everything… He is very good at everything.”

“......”

President Qin took out a small worn out booklet and said, “First of all, the two of you please answer some of my questions, whoever answers first will be the one who wins. Alright, listen now.”

Although President Qin’s voice was old and somehow indistinct, his vital energy was a hundred percent. Ye Wuchen furrowed his brows, answer questions? Was this part of the Medical Assembly’s competition?”

President Qin started to flip over the small booklet in his hands, stood his body upright, and read aloud, “First question, in the book of principles, <>, who is the famous author and what year did he compile the book?”

Ye Wuchen was speechless. This was the first time he had heard of this <>.

What he did not expect though, was that Beautiful Woman also did not open her mouth to answer.

In the medical world, this question was almost like general knowledge. Old Qin tried to ask this question to test them, but after a long moment of silence where he did not hear an answer, he put down the booklet and asked with some doubt, “Didn’t the two of you hear the question clearly?”

“I’ve heard it clearly, yet I don’t know how to answer it.” Ye Wuchen shook his head.

Beautiful Woman was more straightforward, using her gentle voice she slowly asked, “What is the <>?”

There were whispers below the stage now, discussing about the obvious topic. The old men on stage were all looking at each other. The so-called “extraordinary talents of the medical field” did not even know the basic book that even a five-year-old knew? This…

“Doesn’t matter.” after being startled, Old Qin concealed the expression on his face, then continued, “The second question is, our Tian Long’s ‘Soft Needle Technique’ up until now is almost in its seven hundredth year, do the two of you know who created the ‘Soft Needle Technique’, and what kind of unmentionable disease it is used to treat?”

“......”

“......”

“Then… Third question…”

“Wait a moment.” Ye Wuchen stood up and very rudely asked, “I dare to ask President Qin, what is the reason for this Medical Assembly?”

“Obviously because of medical skills.” answered Old Qin.

“Then what medical skill?”

“Medical skill… This is obviously the ability to heal people.” Old Qin did not expect to be asked this kind of question and got stuck.

Ye Wuchen nodded and said, “You are right President Qin, medical skill is the ability to treat people, they are the methods used to treat people, and not those words that only come out of one’s mouth. Since this is a Medical Assembly, what we put into contest are the medical skills, and not those questions that are insignificant to medical skills.”

“Humph! He doesn’t even know these most basic knowledge of the medical field. How can he discuss anything about medical skills?” Among the five old men sitting upright in the corner, the one in the middle snorted coldly.
