How The Little Medical Cultivator Saves the Furries – CH1

Chapter 1

“Little Ye, have you boarded the spaceship?”

Seeing the weak, pale face of the old man reflected on the virtual light screen, Ye Yumeng quickly nodded.

“Mm, I just got to my room. The ship has already taken off.” After answering, he asked again, “Uncle Li, how are you feeling?”

“The wound still aches a bit, but it’s nothing serious anymore,” Li Jianming said. “Being able to keep my life this time is all thanks to you.”

“I only reminded you in passing, I didn’t really do anything.” Ye Yumeng waved his hand.

Li Jianming was his previous landlord.

When he came to collect rent, Ye Yumeng noticed something might be wrong with his heart meridians.

After being reminded, Li Jianming went to the hospital half-believing, half-doubting. Unexpectedly, just as he arrived, he suddenly suffered a heart attack and fainted.

Fortunately, he was treated in time and was now out of danger.

“A single kind word is worth a thousand gold, not to mention your words saved my life. How can you say you did nothing?” Li Jianming said, disagreeing.

“Oh right, did you receive the things I asked Jiang Rui to bring you?”

Li Jiangrui was his son. Because Ye Yumeng’s leg injury had not yet healed and his mobility was inconvenient, it was also him who sent Ye Yumeng to the spaceship terminal today.

Ye Yumeng patted the mechanical dog beside him and nodded. “I got them. I like them very much.”

This robotic dog was the latest product developed by Li Jiangrui’s company. Not only could it help carry things and do housework, but it could also protect him at critical moments.

For someone like him who was heading alone to a different planet, this gift could be said to be extremely thoughtful.

“As long as you like it.”

Li Jianming chuckled. “I’ve kept your room for you. When you have holidays in the future, you can come back and stay.”

“No matter how good other places are, they can’t compare to your own hometown.”

Soon, a nurse reminded him it was time to take his medicine, so Li Jianming ended the call with Ye Yumeng.

Watching the virtual light screen retract into the communicator, Ye Yumeng couldn’t help but let out a breath of relief.

Reminding Uncle Li to go for a check-up was only because he had waived the original owner’s deposit back then—it was a helping hand during his hardest time.

Such kindness was naturally something he should repay.

But he hadn’t expected that a casual reminder would be met with such warm enthusiasm, leaving Ye Yumeng somewhat overwhelmed.

Back in the cultivation world, when had he ever received such treatment?

Ye Yumeng lay back onto the soft mattress, recalling Uncle Li’s words just now…

No matter how good other places are, they can’t compare to one’s hometown?

He looked at the clean, bright ceiling, his hands brushing over the soft bedsheets, while replaying everything he had experienced over the past week in his mind…

Why did he feel that this place was far better than his original home?

He didn’t want to return to the cultivation world at all!

—

Ye Yumeng arrived in this world about seven days ago at night.

The owner of this body shared the same name as him—Ye Yumeng—also 24 years old, living in a country called the “Xihe Federation.”

The original owner was an orphan, burdened by massive debts left behind by his parents, living in poverty. Not long ago, he was even beaten severely by debt collectors.

Unexpectedly, at his most desperate moment, he received an admission notice from the Medical Planet of the Yaojin Empire.

In the original owner’s memory, the Yaojin Empire was a powerful and mysterious nation.

Compared to the Xihe Federation, which only possessed a single independent planet, the Yaojin Empire not only controlled two major star systems but also dozens of resource planets—it was unquestionably a hegemon in the interstellar world.

Back when he had just graduated from university, the original owner applied for the position simply to broaden his horizons. Half a year passed, and he had already forgotten about it, yet he unexpectedly received this pleasant surprise.

Moreover, the wealthy Yaojin Medical Planet even allowed him to advance his salary to repay his debts.

That was more than one million!

Thus, the original owner was able to clear his massive debt. As long as he went to the medical planet and passed the six-month probation period, he could repay the advanced salary and secure a stable job.

But this unfortunate fellow caught the flu.

Thinking it was just a minor cold, he tried to endure it. Who would have thought that that very night, he would suffer from arrhythmia and difficulty breathing?

Living alone, there was no one who could help him at that moment…

Ye Yumeng understood this feeling very well.

Because in the cultivation world, he had also been a lone, unsupported rogue cultivator, struggling at the bottom for survival. In the end, he was accidentally killed after being caught in the clash between two Nascent Soul cultivators.

Fortunately, not long after his death, he was summoned into this world by the original owner.

At that time, he regained consciousness in a daze and instinctively performed emergency treatment on his current body.

After fainting and waking up again, an extra set of memories that did not belong to him appeared in his mind.

Although they shared the same appearance and name, their lives were completely different.

This world had no immortal arts and no cultivation, yet the miracles created by humanity through technology left him in awe.

After digesting the original owner’s memories, Ye Yumeng finally understood—

At the brink of death, the original owner had used a spirit-summoning technique.

This was his secret, and also his unique ability.

As the name implied, he could summon souls—mostly recently deceased spirits that had not yet dissipated.

But what surprised Ye Yumeng was that the original owner’s final thought before death was not to seek help, but to hope that someone could take his place and report to the Yaojin Empire’s Medical Planet.

He wanted Ye Yumeng to take care of the patients assigned to him and repay this kindness on his behalf.

After all, when he was at his most helpless and desperate, it was the Medical Planet that had extended a helping hand. He was grateful and did not want the staff who approved his salary advance to be put in a difficult position.

As for himself, he had no will to live.

He was simply too tired. He longed deeply for his deceased family and wanted to reunite with them…

And so, Ye Yumeng, who had been summoned, smoothly took over his body and lived on in his place. Now, he was on his way to the Medical Planet.

Ye Yumeng sat up. The robotic dog crouching by the bed walked over and wagged its tail at him. He couldn’t help but smile and reached out to pat its head.

He would definitely live well.

In that cultivation world where killing for treasure and survival of the fittest ruled, after all his family and even his contract beast who grew up with him had died, he had never once thought of giving up his life.

No matter how difficult things became, he would find a way to keep living.

He absolutely did not want to die.

From the original owner’s memories, this place was far more peaceful and stable than the cultivation world.

However, it wasn’t entirely without danger. The original owner’s parents had died unnatural deaths, which left him burdened with enormous debt at a young age.

Moreover, the original owner had never left the Xihe Federation and knew nothing about the outside world, which made Ye Yumeng feel somewhat uneasy.

Hopefully, the Yaojin Empire wouldn’t be embroiled in any wars.

The original owner’s body was thin due to malnutrition and had little combat ability. On top of that, his right leg was still in a cast…

Forget fighting if danger arose—he wouldn’t even be able to run fast!

But…

Looking at the reflection in the glass window, it felt as if he was looking at another person, who was also gazing back at him.

He silently made a promise.

Don’t worry. I will fulfill your wish.

Other things he might not excel at, but healing and saving people was his strong suit.

Isn’t it just taking care of patients in a sanatorium? As a skilled little medical cultivator, getting them discharged in minutes would be a piece of cake!

Thinking of this, Ye Yumeng pulled his backpack over and took out a plastic bottle.

Inside the bottle was a scallion seedling, planted by the original owner in his rental room.

Opening the bottle cap and sensing the faint spiritual energy emanating from within, Ye Yumeng couldn’t help but curl his lips into a slight smile.

Because spiritual energy in this world was thin, he had originally been worried about cultivation.

Unexpectedly, he discovered that plants could emit spiritual energy!

Considering that the Medical Planet was on another world and he didn’t know what the conditions there would be, he brought this scallion seedling with him before departure.

The spaceship would take one month to travel.

During this time, his cultivation would rely entirely on this single plant. Fortunately, the original owner had no foundation, so the spiritual energy it provided was already enough for his needs.

Ye Yumeng placed the bottle on the table and began circulating his energy to regulate his breathing.

—

When Ye Yumeng opened his eyes again, the spaceship had already entered deep space.

Through the window, he could see the vast sea of stars. In such an endless universe, it was easy to feel one’s own insignificance.

“Grrr—”

Hunger pulled Ye Yumeng back to reality.

Ever since he had achieved fasting, he hadn’t experienced hunger for a long time.

Recalling the feeling of being so hungry in childhood that his limbs went weak and his body lost all strength, Ye Yumeng immediately sprang into action.

“Wugang, I’ll leave things here to you. Don’t let anyone come in.”

“Understood, Master.”

Leaving the robotic dog to guard the luggage, Ye Yumeng used his crutches to walk out of the room, preparing to take the elevator to the first-floor cafeteria.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, he saw someone rushing past in a hurry.

That guy’s hair seemed to be blue? So cool!

Curious, Ye Yumeng craned his neck to look, but the person had already disappeared at the end of the corridor. What could have happened to make him so anxious?

With food on his mind, he continued toward the cafeteria.

He had originally been worried about meal expenses for the month, but unexpectedly, there was free food provided!

Ye Yumeng immediately lined up at the counter.

The free meal was a pre-packaged boxed meal. Each person could only take one per meal. After heating, it smelled quite good, but once it entered his mouth…

Ye Yumeng suddenly missed the rice with soy sauce he had been eating for a week—due to his limited mobility and poverty, he had survived these days on half a bag of rice left in the original owner’s kitchen.

After hurriedly finishing his meal, Ye Yumeng prepared to return and continue cultivating. Exiting the elevator on the third floor, he searched for his room number.

“Room 3005… I remember it’s this way…”

Suddenly, he stopped and tilted his ear to listen.

“Meow—”

A faint cat’s cry sounded.

Ye Yumeng looked around and soon spotted a long-haired calico cat behind a sculpture at the corner of the corridor.

It was clearly a kitten, lying limply on the ground, looking as if it was barely clinging to life.
