How The Little Medical Cultivator Saves the Furries – CH81

Chapter 81

Not just Ye Yumeng—even Guangye froze when he heard what Molly said.

Frowning, he spoke through their mental link: “Molly, what are you doing? I don’t need you to give up your turn.”

The little peregrine falcon replied nonchalantly, “I can still walk and fly anyway. I’m in much better shape than you guys. And it’s only giving up this one chance—Doctor Ye will still treat me later.”

Her voice was bright and open, her tone certain. “I’ll definitely get my turn in the future. It’s only a matter of sooner or later.”

“In that case, I’d rather let those of you who are in worse condition get treated first.”

Then she emphasized it again to Guangye.

“Brother Yu, I’m giving this chance to you on purpose, okay? It’s only because your injuries are worse. If you don’t want it, then I’ll give it to someone else.”

She said all of this in their mental “group chat,” so every team member heard it.

Hearing Molly’s decision, they all fell silent. Only the little turtle, Yueyue, seemed to react a beat later.

“Ah, Shen Mingming can walk now?”

Everyone was already used to how slow she was. The panda cub chuckled and said, “Yueyue, we already changed the subject.”

“Oh oh oh, okay.”

A few seconds later, the “group chat” was still silent when the little turtle’s voice sounded again: “Changed… to what subject?”

“Molly is giving up her treatment slot so the seriously injured can be treated first,” Shen Chunming explained to her.

“Oh oh oh, Lili is so nice.”

Yes—Molly really was incredibly kind.

Looking at the little peregrine falcon, Ye Yumeng could not help thinking the same. This was the sort of warmth he had rarely experienced in the cultivation world, and one of the reasons he was growing more and more fond of this world.

The proportion of good people here far exceeded that of bad people. And even the bad ones he had met so far were not utterly irredeemable.

Unfortunately, his cultivation was still limited. For the time being, he could not take care of that many at once and could only treat them one by one.

At that moment, the little peregrine falcon looked at Ye Yumeng again.

“Is that okay, Doctor Ye?” Du Jia helped translate for her once more.

“Of course it is.”

Ye Yumeng stroked the little falcon’s head. “Every single one of you—I’ll treat all of you.”

That only proved what Molly had just said, and she immediately puffed out her chest proudly.

“So we’re sure Yeguang goes first?” Ye Yumeng asked.

Molly instinctively looked toward Guangye.

She really did want to give him the chance. Though Brother Yu usually seemed cold and aloof, he actually took very good care of them, especially on the battlefield, where he had saved her life more than once.

Of course, she also understood Guangye’s pride. If he was unwilling to accept the opportunity, then she would give it to someone else.

Under the little peregrine falcon’s gaze, Guangye finally nodded.

“Molly, thank you.”

He really had no way to refuse this chance.

Molly grinned, then looked at Du Jia and asked him to keep translating for her.

Du Jia quickly said, “Yes, Doctor Ye, please treat Yeguang first. His injuries are more severe. If he has to wait until later, he’ll have to endure the pain for much longer.”

“All right, I understand.”

Once Ye Yumeng agreed, the little peregrine falcon flapped her wings and flew back to her own bed.

Ye Yumeng walked over to Yeguang, the little bird, and checked on his recovery.

Although most of the past week had been spent treating the panda cub, the other small animals had continued using the Red Lotus ointment.

As the quality of the spirit-water used to make the salve improved, the effectiveness of the Red Lotus ointment had also increased slightly.

After seven consecutive days of application, the parts of the little bird’s body that had been ulcerated and oozing with pus had already scabbed over and healed. He now fully met the conditions for using the Rot-Dispelling Flesh-Regrowing Technique.

“Then I’ll treat you tomorrow.”

Ye Yumeng gently stroked the top of his head and said, “Get some good rest. It might be pretty uncomfortable for a while afterward, so be mentally prepared.”

Shen Chunming had already given all of them a demonstration. The torment he endured—they would all have to go through it once themselves before they could truly recover.

But compared with the slow agony of being flayed by a dull blade over the past two years, this kind of pain was not enough to make them shrink back.

Because they knew that as long as they endured it, they would see the dawn.

Seeing how full of fighting spirit the little animals were, Ye Yumeng smiled. After giving the assistants a few more instructions, he turned and left the treatment room.

When Ye Yumeng returned to the little rabbit’s room, he shared the good news with him.

“I know,” Lu Nanzhou said through the voice machine.

Everything that had happened in the botanical garden had been within his sight, let alone something this major in the treatment room.

Although he had already estimated how skilled Ye Yumeng’s medical arts were, Lu Nanzhou still could not help being astonished when he saw Shen Chunming’s scars slough off and reveal newly regenerated skin underneath.

Ye Yumeng braced both hands against the edge of the bed and leaned in close as he said, “Once your bandages can come off, I’ll use the Rot-Dispelling Flesh-Regrowing Technique on you too. I’ll definitely make you…”

He paused, then continued, “Definitely make you into a fluffy, adorable little rabbit again!”

Lu Nanzhou looked at his smiling crescent eyes.

During this whole week, Ye Yumeng had not once tried to contact “Lu Qi”…

He had actually thought about once again meeting Ye Yumeng online under the identity of Lu Qi. But when he considered that Ye Yumeng might already have guessed the truth long ago, he ultimately gave up on the idea.

If Yumeng really had guessed it, and had chosen silence and cooperation, then how could he possibly reject such kindness?

“All right,” he replied.

Ye Yumeng reached out and rubbed the top of his head again.

“Then let’s go out.”

He formed a nourishing spell for the little rabbit, then picked him up and carried him off once more to cultivate beneath the longan tree.

Because he had been seizing every day to cultivate—and because the concentration of spiritual energy in the environment had also increased—Ye Yumeng’s liquid-spirit vortex had been slowly growing stronger. It was already able to transform spiritual aura into spiritual liquid on its own.

The yield was still very small, but every little bit added up. For now, all he could do was wait for the day when that quiet accumulation would finally burst forth.

Three days later.

The panda cub’s condition had clearly improved.

In just three short days, the cub—who had originally stumbled over all four limbs whenever he tried to walk—was now able to walk and run. He had recovered almost completely.

And on his newly regenerated skin, the tiniest fine fuzz had already begun to grow. As long as he waited a little longer, he would become his old fluffy self again.

It was absolutely a miracle of treatment.

However, since Ye Yumeng had already expected this and did not find it especially surprising, and since the assistants did not dare spread the news around, not many people knew about it yet.

Early that morning, the panda cub looked at the assistant doctor helping him with rehab training with wide, eager eyes, clearly wanting to go out into the garden.

Even though they knew Shen Mingming was a degeneration patient and was technically already an adult, seeing the panda cub like this—so cute and pitiful—made it hard for anyone to say no.

“All right then. You can go out and play today.” In the end, the assistant doctor still nodded and agreed to his request.

Normally, degeneration patients had poor resistance and were rarely allowed to run around on dirt ground. But with Doctor Ye’s permission, and with the living example of the little snow ferret right there, they truly had no reason to refuse.

The panda cub immediately let out a cheer.

He had been cooped up in the ward for two whole years, and even when he did go out, he had only been lying on a hospital bed. He had almost suffocated from holding it all in.

This was great—he could finally go out and play!

“Are we going now?” Bai Lele suddenly popped out and asked excitedly.

“Let’s go!”

The moment the little snow ferret called out, the panda cub happily clambered down from the hospital bed.

When the assistant tried to help, he refused.

Although he still could not exercise for too long, he was already quite nimble now. What was this little height to him?

“Shen Mingming, hurry up!” Bai Lele urged.

The panda cub dropped to the floor, answered at once, and then trotted after the little snow ferret, thump-thump-thumping as he ran out.

Every step he took was solid and heavy, but he was not slow.

The assistant had wanted to put little shoes and socks on his paws, but by then he had already rushed out, planting all four feet straight onto the dirt path, making the assistant’s scalp go numb.

All he could do was silently repeat to himself: Doctor Ye allowed this, Doctor Ye said it was fine…

Then he hurried after them.

This was Shen Chunming’s first time running outside in the botanical garden, and everything around him felt unfamiliar.

He stopped where he was and looked around in all directions.

Morning light fell across the panda cub’s fluffy face, dyeing his white fur with a pale warm gold. Even the round black circles around his eyes seemed to carry a faint golden sheen.

A breeze swept through the lush greenery, carrying with it the fresh scent of soil and plants.

The panda cub drew in a deep breath, taking in that damp, crisp smell, and could not help letting out a contented sigh.

So many plant fragrances…

Did he smell bamboo?

Shen Chunming’s eyes lit up.

He took another step forward. The soft pads of his feet pressed onto the grass, and it felt completely different from the indoor floor—cool, slightly damp with morning dew.

As he walked, the tips of the grass slipped between his toes, ticklish enough to make him want to laugh.

And he really did laugh.

The panda cub ran happily across the lawn, bobbing up and down like a round little black-and-white ball of fur.

He could not help crying out in delight.

This was what freedom and health felt like!

He ran and ran, but after about ten-something meters…

he finally had to stop and catch his breath.

Well… all right. He was not that healthy yet.

But he would recover!

Shen Chunming already had more than enough confidence in that now.

The little snow ferret, who had disappeared in a flash, came darting back out from who-knew-where and circled around him.

“Shen Mingming, are you done resting?”

“Mm.”

The panda cub set off again. “Lele, slow down a little. I still can’t catch up to you.”

“Mm-hmm!”

Sure enough, the little snow ferret slowed down and led the panda cub around the botanical garden.

“What are we going to do now?”

“First, let’s bask in the sun, then we’ll go find the boss!”

The panda cub looked around at the plants nearby. Actually, he really wanted to go find some bamboo. Even if he could not eat it, just smelling it would be nice.

Still, he nodded. “Okay, okay.”

Following Bai Lele, Shen Chunming wound his way this way and that, and finally poked his head out from behind a clump of shrubs.

“Look over there!”

Shen Chunming followed the little snow ferret’s pointing paw and saw their beloved Doctor Ye sitting cross-legged beneath a large flourishing tree in the distance.

And beside him sat something that looked like an incubator.

The reason he was sure it was an incubator… was because on top of that incubator, there was actually a pair of rabbit ears.

Rabbit ears that moved.
