How The Little Medical Cultivator Saves the Furries

Chapter 80

Ye Yumeng watched the thick, filthy, charred dead skin fall to the ground, then looked at the soft pink skin on the panda cub’s back, and felt utterly refreshed.

So satisfying!

Seven straight days. Seven straight uses of the Rot-Dispelling Flesh-Regrowing Art, plus countless Lesser Spring Returnings—and at last, this old scar had finally been healed!

What was falling to the floor, like pieces of a tortoise shell, was the necrotic dead skin that had been continuously expelled from the body and gradually dried out and hardened under the effect of the Rot-Dispelling Flesh-Regrowing Art.

When that layer of dead skin naturally fell away, it also meant that new skin had fully grown in.

“You can even see the pores!”

Du Jia leaned closer to the panda cub’s back. “Then… doesn’t that mean normal fur might be able to grow back too?”

After a burn, the hair follicles would normally be damaged as well. Even if the skin were repaired, in theory, hair transplantation should still be needed.

And yet, seeing the pores on this newly regenerated skin, it was hard not to feel hopeful.

“That probably isn’t very likely, is it?” another assistant said hesitantly.

Everyone turned to look at Ye Yumeng.

Ye Yumeng smiled and said, “We’ll know after a while.”

If the Rot-Dispelling Flesh-Regrowing Art combined with the Lesser Spring Returning could only repair skin, then it would not be worth him spending so much spiritual energy on it.

Still, people in this world were different from cultivators in the cultivation world. Whether it could truly produce that kind of effect would still need time and observation to confirm.

Ye Yumeng said, “Help him clean up a little. You can remove the restraints on him too.”

The assistants hurried forward, undoing the bindings on the panda cub’s limbs and removing the hood hanging around his neck.

Shen Chunming instinctively rolled over and sat right up.

After being tied down for so many days, he finally felt comfortable again! He casually touched one of his front paws, and the blackened dead skin there flaked off at once, sifting down onto the floor.

Ye Yumeng quickly stopped him.

“Let Du Jia and the others help you clean it off. Don’t move around too much.”

The newly grown skin was still very delicate. If he was too rough and broke it, causing bleeding and infection, that would be troublesome.

The panda cub obediently stopped moving.

His wounds still itched a little, but compared to the last seven days, the itch was now completely tolerable.

Du Jia and the other assistants hurried over to help clean away the remaining necrotic tissue that had not yet fully detached, while also taking proper protective measures.

The process itself was undeniably very cathartic.

Of course, as the people who had participated in all seven days of treatment from start to finish, they had personally witnessed every change in this panda cub. The sense of achievement they felt was far greater than that.

Doctor Ye really was amazing!

To be honest, when they had first watched the wound grow worse and worse, even giving off a rotten smell, they had absolutely had their doubts.

But because Ye Yumeng’s work in the operating room that day had been so shocking, in the end they had only chosen to wait and see.

Thankfully, none of them had jumped out to question him!

“Mingming, how are you feeling now?” Ye Yumeng asked.

Shen Chunming immediately activated his voice machine. This time, he deliberately chose a cheerful tone as he said, “Really comfortable. Nothing hurts or itches anymore.”

“I haven’t felt this relaxed in a really long time.”

Ye Yumeng nodded. Judging by what he saw through the Qi-Gazing Art, the panda cub’s physical state had probably recovered to about the same level as the little snow ferret’s had been when he first met him.

Once the assistants had cleaned him up and dressed him in soft, warm clothes, an adorable, completely renewed panda cub appeared before everyone’s eyes.

The little snow ferret had already rushed over impatiently, hopping about on Shen Chunming’s bed.

‘Wow, Shen Mingming, you’re really better!’

The panda cub grinned foolishly. In that moment, no one’s feelings were deeper than his own.

He was still in juvenile mimic form, but at least he felt so much better now.

Just then, he heard Ye Yumeng say, “Put him on the floor and let him try walking.”

Shen Chunming froze.

He stared blankly at Ye Yumeng, then Du Jia lifted him and set him down on the ground.

The treatment room was cleaned every day, and everyone changed shoe covers when entering and leaving, so the floor was spotless.

The panda cub sat on the floor, feeling the slight coolness rising from the tiles.

Ye Yumeng crouched a few steps away and stretched out both hands toward him encouragingly. “Try it. See if you can crawl over here.”

Shen Chunming had spent two full years lying in bed. In the later stages, he could only manage a simple turn of his body, and even sitting up had been difficult. Right now, he was completely dazed.

He had already forgotten how to use his limbs to crawl.

“Your body should be able to move as freely as Bai Lele’s now. Just give it a try.”

Ye Yumeng encouraged him, “You can do it. Believe in yourself.”

The members of Blade Squad all watched this scene nervously, their hearts full of anticipation and unease.

Seeing the burns on Shen Chunming’s body healed and new skin with visible pores grow back had already filled them with excitement.

After all, originally they were all good-looking. Every one of them had once had a large number of fans. Becoming this ugly now—no one could truly accept it without burden.

What’s more, Hu Naonao and the others’ wounds often ulcerated, oozed pus, and caused unbearable pain.

Shen Chunming’s recovery had made everyone truly understand one thing: Doctor Ye really could heal them!

How could that not excite them?

And yet now they were being told that what they had seen so far was only the appetizer. The real main course was still to come—

Shen Chunming’s burns were healed, and he could even get down and walk on his own?

Under the gaze of everyone in the room, the panda cub, who had been at a complete loss just moments ago, instead gradually calmed down.

He tried to recall how he had learned to walk in childhood—though those memories had long gone fuzzy, the instinct still remained in his body.

Shen Chunming moved one foot forward, and then his body followed.

Although he was still in juvenile form, and because he ate so little, his body was very light, this step still felt incredibly heavy to him.

But in the end, he managed to plant it firmly.

It was only one step, yet Shen Chunming had to stop and pant from the effort. Still, when he looked up, he saw Doctor Ye crouching not far away, those gentle, beautiful eyes fixed on him.

A boundless strength welled up in his heart once again.

The panda cub set out again, one step after another. Though very slow, his condition was visibly improving.

On the final step, he got a little too eager and tripped over his own legs, pitching forward.

The panda cub instinctively shut his eyes, bracing for pain. But then a pair of hands reached out and caught him securely.

He landed in a warm embrace.

That person gently stroked the top of his head. His voice was full of delight as he said softly, “Shen Mingming, you did it! I told you you could.”

Only then did Shen Chunming really come back to himself.

He drew back out of Ye Yumeng’s arms, then turned to look at the place where he had started, his face slightly blank.

He had really walked over here on his own strength!

After two full years, he could finally stand and move on the ground again!

The panda cub’s face lit up with excitement. He was just about to spread his legs and try again when Ye Yumeng scooped him up.

“Rest a little. You need gradual rehabilitation—you can’t rush it.”

Ye Yumeng rubbed the panda cub’s fluffy head and said with a smile.

At last, one of them had been brought almost fully back. After this, he would only need continued consolidation and recuperation.

Just like the little snow ferret—though his outward change did not look especially dramatic, if you compared his current photos with his old ones, the difference was obvious.

His fur was clearly thicker and smoother, and his body was far sturdier. He no longer looked light and fragile.

Most importantly, he now ran and jumped every day, even liked going to the spirit plant garden to play during the daytime, and could keep at it for most of the day. Unlike before, when he would be exhausted after just a little activity.

Ye Yumeng carried the panda cub back to the bed.

Even though the panda cub was about the size of a stuffed toy, he was very light in Ye Yumeng’s arms. Ye Yumeng carefully set him down.

Then he turned to the assistants behind him. “Starting today, Shen Mingming won’t need to be medicated anymore. Has any of you done rehabilitation training before?”

The moment he finished speaking, three people raised their hands.

After spending over a week with them, Ye Yumeng was truly very satisfied with these assistants. Not only were they hardworking and willing to get their hands dirty, but they also had solid professional knowledge and never shirked work just because it was small or tedious.

He had heard they were all people Doctor Zhuo Yuquan had picked out and trained personally. Doctor Zhuo was really good at mentoring people.

Ye Yumeng pointed to the one closest to him.

“Then I’ll trouble you to handle his rehab training from now on. You can also take him for walks around the spirit plant garden or let him play in the activity area.”

There was a special section set aside in the garden for patients with clearance to come and move around.

For example, patients from the core inpatient unit, as well as Little Shan Lan, the little spotted deer Xia Nanxue and her grandmother… Ye Yumeng had all granted them permission.

“Understood, Doctor Ye.”

After settling that, Ye Yumeng looked toward the other little animals in the treatment room.

Even the most optimistic and easygoing of them, Han Xiong, could not help swallowing nervously. The other little animals were all staring intently at Ye Yumeng.

Because every one of them knew that the next one Doctor Ye personally treated would recover just like Shen Chunming had.

Not only would new skin grow back, but they would even be able to get down and walk!

Who wouldn’t want that chance?

The treatment room grew quiet. Even Shen Chunming, sitting on the bed, began wondering which friend would be the next to recover with him.

Ye Yumeng’s gaze swept around the room before finally settling on the little peregrine falcon, Molly.

He intended to follow the original plan: treat them in order from the lightest injuries to the most severe. That way, more patients could recover in a shorter time.

Molly’s injuries were more severe than Shen Chunming’s. She had been fortunate enough to keep the feathers on her wings, but her head, back, and tail were all bald.

Even so, compared to the others, her condition still counted as mild. At least she could still move around freely and fly through the air.

“Little Molly,” he called.

Hearing her name, Molly quickly fluttered over and landed lightly on Ye Yumeng’s outstretched arm.

“I’ll treat you tomorrow,” Ye Yumeng said.

The Rot-Dispelling Flesh-Regrowing Art was one of the healing techniques that came with the Nine Revolutions Spiritual Pivot Scripture. Every time he used it, it consumed one drop of spiritual liquid condensed from that cultivation method, and at present, he could only condense a little more than one drop each night.

He had already used it on the panda cub today. He would have to wait until tomorrow before he could perform the Rot-Dispelling Flesh-Regrowing Art again.

Little Molly let out a happy chirp.

Naturally she was thrilled.

After all, who didn’t love beauty? If she could shed those charred scars and maybe even grow back new feathers like Shen Chunming, she would absolutely be willing a thousand times over!

Still, when she turned back and looked at her visibly disappointed teammates…

she hesitated, then turned toward Du Jia beside Ye Yumeng and said something to him.

Du Jia was briefly stunned. “Are you sure?”

The little peregrine falcon nodded.

Only then did Du Jia relay it for her: “Doctor Ye, Little Molly says she wants to give this chance to Yeguang. Would it be possible for you to treat him first?”
