Interstellar Super Doctor

Chapter 47 Part 1 Detoxification

Receiving the address from Xing Cheng, Xiào Mu passed it to the driving guard, and then they went out quickly. The aircraft landed in a private hospital. Xiào Mu got off the aircraft wearing a hat and went directly to VIP Ward 208.

At the door of a ward, stood a young sentinel of about 1.9 meters and he is looking anxiously in the direction of the elevator. When he saw Xiào Mu and the guards, he immediately wanted to run to them. After taking 2 steps, the person hesitated and stopped. He opened his terminal and sent a message to Xiào Mu.

“Are you here yet?”

Xiào Mu walked to the sentinel, looking somewhat surprised, “Yan Chen1? Xing Chen?”

“It’s me,” Yan Chen’s bloodshot eyes brightened and he asked, “Do you know me? Are, are you really Xiào Mu?” His voice lowered to a whisper at the last part.

Xiào Mu: “Let’s go in and talk.”

Hearing that, Yan Chen felt annoyed by himself for not thinking about it and apologized, “I’m sorry, please come in.” He opened the door and stood aside, letting Xiào Mu enter first. His face is full of excitement. Originally, Yan Chen just didn’t want to give up any chance to try, but he didn’t expect it to be such a coincidence.

The ward is divided into two sections, and Xiào Mu went directly to the inner room. 2 sentinels are sitting on the sofa at the right side of the bed, while another one is leaning against the wall at the end of the bed. All 3 of them looked tired and their eyes are red and bloodshot. The moment Xiào Mu stepped forward, their gaze landed on him. The sentinel who was leaning against the wall looked extraordinarily strong and his voice is hoarse, “Are you a friend of Boss?”

Yan Chen quickly explained, “He is the person who requested the medicinal plants. I asked him to come.” Yan Chen was worried that his group members would be disappointed with the false hope, so he did not tell them that he contacted Xiào Mu privately.

Someone looked at Xiào Mu and asked seriously with hope, “Since you are here, do you have any way to help?”

Since Xiào Mu is not sure about the effectiveness of the dispel pill, he said cautiously, “I will try my best.”

He walked to the hospital bed and was taken aback when he saw the person on the bed, “Kai Men?”

“Do you know him?” Yan Chen is surprised too, and then he thought about it. “Did you meet him at school?”

Xiào Mu nodded. He is surprised that Kai Men is the boss of the Suixin mercenary group! However, Kai Men is strong so it seems normal that he could do that. Xiào Mu thought to himself that Kai Men had been protecting him at school because of Leo’s instruction. After he(XM) left school, only then Kai Men began to pick up his mercenary business. Xiào Mu felt that he seemed to have bothered Kai Men and gave him troubles. Xiào Mu used the Pin Hold skill on Kai Men. Kai Men’s spiritual power is over 50%, but his physical strength is very poor, which is only 7% remaining, and it is still declining. What concerned Xiào Mu even more is other than Pin Hold buff appearing under Kai Men’s red and blue bars, there is another black icon. Staying at the same row with Pin Hold, this debuff means a negative effect in the game. Based on his understanding of the system, this icon means that Kai Men is poisoned.

Xiào Mu took out a dispel pill and said to Yan Chen, “Feed this to him.”

Yan Chen stepped forward to take it, but his arm was held by another sentinel and the person asked, “You believe him just like this? What if something bad happens?”

“Old Third, I believe him.” Yan Chen said seriously.

The sentinel leaning at the wall said, “Old Third, let go. There is nothing worse than now.”

Old Third gritted his teeth hard and released his hand. He wiped his face and said, “I’ll step out for a breather.”

Old Third went to the outer room, and the atmosphere in the ward instantly turned intense. Yan Chen’s little baby face tightened, and his eyes are slightly red. If the medicine doesn’t work, the next second he feeds it down, Boss may not even have a breath left.

Xiào Mu comforted, “This medicine has no side effects, so you don’t need to be too nervous.” Even if the pill is ineffective, it will not take away a life.

Yan Chen calmed down and fed Kai Men the pill. When he is feeding the water, most of the water ran down from the sides of Kai Men’s mouth, wetting his clothes and bed. Then, Yan Chen frantically tried to wipe it away.

Seeing this caused the corner of Xiào Mu’s mouth to twitch. Yan Chen obviously rarely did such a thing. Think about it, indeed, his brother is a major general of the 5th Army, and he seems to be very good to his brother. As the young master of the Yan family, there is no need for Yan Chen to do such a thing like caring for sick people.

The affected area of the bed is messy, even a lot of Kai Men’s grayish-white hair got wet. Yan Chen finally managed to feed the medicine, and then he looked at Kai Men nervously. The rest of the teammates also stared at Kai Men and even subconsciously lightened the sound of their breathing. Xiào Mu’s eyes fell on the black icon under the red and blue bars. After about half a minute, the color of the black icon began to gradually lighten, as if a drop of ink fell into the water and gradually melted away. After 5 minutes, the black icon disappeared, and at the same time, his physical strength stopped dropping. Xiào Mu breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn’t help but slightly curved the corners of his mouth. The dispel pill can detoxify poison state indeed, it did not disappoint him.

“Boss’s complexion seems to have changed for the better, doesn’t it?” Yan Chen’s tone sounded excited, and his voice was trembling slightly as if worried that this is just his hallucination.

“Yes,” Old Fourth at the sofa said with a low voice, “his complexion originally looked green, but now he is just pale.”

Old Second at the end of the bed finally moved from his position. He strode to the side of the bed and looked down at Kai Men’s face, “The poison is detoxified.” At first, when Boss got poisoned, his face gradually turned green. As the color changed, his condition got worse. Now that the green tint faded, the poison is definitely resolved!

“Why is Boss still not waking up?” Yan Chen looked happy and then worried again.

Xiào Mu took out a mid-grade boost pill, “Give him this.”

Yan Chen trusts Xiào Mu very much now and does not hesitate to feed Kai Men the boost pill. In less than half a minute, Kai Men’s eyelids move, then he opened his eyes. Then he keeps coughing. His gray hair shook with the movement of his violent cough, and his pale face is soon flushed with blood.

“Boss!” Yan Chen pounced over, “You finally woke up.”

Kai Men who usually looked expressionless wrinkled his brows and pulled at his collar, “It’s wet,” his gaze fell on Yan Chen, “What’s happened?”

Yan Chen jumped up and said, “I’ll get you a clean one.” As he said, Yan Chen took out a black T-shirt from his space storage and threw it to the bed.

Kai Men lifted the quilt away and pinched the hem of his clothes, preparing to undress. But Yan Chen hurriedly held his hand and said, “Wait, you can’t take it off.”

Although Xiào Mu did not directly acknowledge his identity, Yan Chen is almost certain that he is Xiào Mu. There’s a guide in the room, so how can a sentinel undress just like this?! That’s too rude. Yan Chen then said to Xiào Mu, “I’m sorry for our rudeness.”

Xiào Mu’s expression turned into 囧. They are all men, so he really didn’t mind at all.

Hearing that, Kai Men turned his gaze to Xiào Mu. Even if he couldn’t see his face properly, Kai Men could still recognize Xiào Mu. He looked a little surprised as he asked, “Xiào Mu, why are you here?”

“What?!” Old Second and Old Fourth beside the bed were shocked. Old Third who heard the earlier commotion came in and heard the same thing. He asked in surprise, “He is Xiào Mu? That god-level guide?”

Old Fourth immediately said, “Impossible. Delish announced that Xiào Mu was shocked by the crowd and even the store will be closed tomorrow. What’s more, after the announcement, he got chased by a fanatic suitor on the way home. His situation is definitely not good so how could he come here?”

Yan Chen turned to look at Xiào Mu with a touch of emotion, “Thank you so much. I didn’t see the news. I don’t know if you are in a bad situation…”

Xiào Mu raised his hand to stop Yan Chen’s words, “I’m fine. I’m in good condition and healthy.”

“This, Xiào Mu is admitting2 it?” Old Third is surprised.

Xiào Mu: “Please keep it secret, I don’t like being watched.”

“Sure sure.”

Kai Men: “You saved me from the poison?”

Xiào Mu smiled and said, “Yes, but you are the one who brought the materials back. Fortunately, you have collected more. Otherwise, it won’t be enough to make the medicine. You can consider that you saved yourself.”

“I just pulled it casually and didn’t think much about it.” Kai Men said.

Yan Chen patted his chest, “Fortunately, fortunately.”

Xiào Mu opened his terminal and returned the money previously given in place of the medicine to Yan Chen, “Well, you gave me the items and I returned the money. Right now, Kai Men only needs to rest for a while.”

Yan Chen heard the notification from his terminal and saw the transfer. He quickly asked, “Eh, why are you refunding the money? We haven’t pay you the money for your detoxification medicine!”

Xiào Mu: “Consider that as my payment for extra stalks. Well then, I’ll leave first.”

“Wait,” Kai Men said suddenly, and Xiào Mu looked at him suspiciously, “What’s the matter?”

“What is the 2nd pill that was given to me just now?” Kai Men asked.

After his poison is detoxified, Kai Men has already regained his consciousness but he was weak. He could hear voices next to him and knew what the person next to him is doing, but he couldn’t move. After Yan Chen gave him another pill, a surge of heat rushed through his limbs, and he suddenly gained strength. Kai Men was very surprised by the effect as he had never heard of a medicine that could recover physical strength like this. With this medicine, it can save lives in battles.

Xiào Mu: “Sorry, I am not planning to sell it for the time being, so I am not going to announce it to the public. You must already know the effect, and I hope you can keep it secret.”

Kai Men wondered, “Why? This medicine is as important as the medicine sold in your shop.”

Xiào Mu replied, “I have to concentrate on the most important medicine first.” He had to shift the public focus from the guide to the medicine. Only when they have enough medicine for spiritual power available in the market that they can achieve the goal. Hence, him suddenly selling pills for physical strength will affect his plan.

Kai Men didn’t ask anymore, but said, “Thank you.”

Xiào Mu smiled, “You are welcome, you also helped me before.”

Chapter 47 Part 2 Detoxification

Xiào Mu left the hospital and went back to the Marshal’s Mansion. He asked the housekeeper if there is an empty room available for him to use. When the housekeeper learned that Xiào Mu is going to the room to store medicine-making equipment, he took Xiào Mu to the west wing, “The rooms here are all empty. You can choose whichever you want.”

Xiào Mu worried that the scent of his medicine would be smelled by people passing by, so he chose the one farthest from the main entrance. The housekeeper immediately instructed the household robot to clean the room selected by Xiào Mu. Next, Xiào Mu shopped online and spent almost all of his savings to buy a set of medicine-making equipment. He set up a single sofa in the room and spent the afternoon reading medicine-related books in the room. As he read the books, Xiào Mu would experiment with what he read, and slowly, he has a deeper understanding of medicine-making.

After Leo returned to the marshal’s mansion, he listened to the housekeeper report daily matters and strode to the medicine-making room. Xiào Mu seemed to be fascinated by the courseware that he didn’t turn his head until he felt a pressure on his shoulders. Leo looked at Xiào Mu disapprovingly, “Do you know what time it is?”

Glanced at the time, Xiào Mu bookmarked the courseware and closed his terminal. He replied, “It’s 5.30 pm, are you here to call me to eat?”

Leo: “I went to the military headquarters in the afternoon. If I come back later, are you going to stay here forever?”

“Of course not,” Xiào Mu slanted his shoulder to shrug off Leo’s hand, “I will be hungry.”

Leo’s gaze stayed on Xiào Mu’s shoulder for 2 seconds. Then he turned around and walked out, “Go to eat.”

After eating dinner, Xiào Mu went to the virtual net to make biscuits. He thought for a moment and realized he hadn’t made biscuits in reality for some time, so he ordered some ingredients online. While waiting for the delivery, Xiào Mu made some pills, packed them in the porcelain bottle, and put it in the system backpack. After that, he entered the homeland to harvest mature herbs, and also planted the new medicinal plants he obtained today. When Xiào Mu finally left the homeland, the ingredients had already been delivered. He took the courier and walked into the kitchen. Before long, a sweet smell wafted out from the kitchen. The smell is not strong and smelled very delicious.

Xiào Mu only made the sweet version this time. Considering that everyone in the Marshal’s Mansion is sentinel except for him, he deliberately made the taste very light. Although sentinels can control their 5 senses, the degree of control varies with external stimuli. For example, the harsher the sound, the more spiritual power is consumed to block it. Similarly, the stronger the taste, the more spiritual power is consumed if they want to be able to taste it. This is why sentinels are extremely prone to mental confusion. Almost all daily life scenarios which are normal for other people is a source of pollution for them. Only in White Tower that everything is completely isolated, but sentinel’s inherent strength means they are destined to fulfill their responsibility (as the defender of the empire). They can’t hide in the White Tower for a lifetime. The moment a sentinel is born, their instinct is to become stronger.

Leo followed the fragrance to the kitchen and leaned against the door to watch the busy little guide. The little guide’s black hair reflected brightly under the light, and his white neck glowed like white porcelain.

Xiào Mu is tiptoeing as he tried to get some plates from the cupboard above so he did not notice anyone standing at the door. The hem of his shirt is lifted by the movement of his hand, revealing a delicate waist.

Leo’s fingers moved and his eyes turned deep. His gaze stayed for a moment on the thin waist of the little guide before he strode forward. His left hand encircled Xiào Mu’s waist, while his right hand easily took out a stack of plates and placed it on the counter.

“Be careful.” Leo lowered his head to remind Xiào Mu.

Xiào Mu was startled by the sudden appearance of Leo. He turned around, wanted to say something but accidentally brushed his face on Leo’s chest. Then Xiào Mu realized that they are standing very close together. Leo put his right hand on the plate but didn’t let go, and his left hand is wrapped around his waist, completely surrounding him. Xiào Mu flushed and lowered his gaze to the ground. Then he lightly poked Leo with his elbow, “Let go.”

Leo didn’t let go immediately, but said, “Don’t do dangerous actions like this in the future.”

Hearing that, Xiào Mu became speechless, “I just want to get some plates.”

“But if you didn’t hold it firmly, it will crash on your head later,” Leo said solemnly.

As they are standing closely at the moment, Leo’s breath is brushing past Xiào Mu’s ear. Xiào Mu couldn’t help it and his ears turned red. He pushed Leo hard and Leo took a step back following the force. Finally, he took away the hand that is holding his waist. Xiào Mu breathed a sigh of relief and raised his head to glance at the cupboard above. He sulkily said, “Ain’t it because your family’s cupboard is too high.”

Leo: “You are too petite.”

Xiào Mu twitched his mouth and rubbed his arms, “Can you change the word? I would rather hear you say that I am short.”

A smile flashed in Leo’s eyes. At this moment, a reminder sounded from the oven. Xiào Mu took out the biscuits and placed them on the plates. It filled up 3 plates in total. Xiào Mu took out some small jars and asked Leo, “Does the marshal eat biscuits?”

“He doesn’t.” Leo leaned against the counter with his arms around him, turning his head to watch Xiào Mu carefully put the biscuits into the jar.

2 plates of biscuits filled up a total of 8 jars. Xiào Mu picked up the other plate and asked Leo again, “How many jars do you want?”

Leo stared at Xiào Mu, “Who else do you want to give to other than me? Isn’t it all for me?”

Xiào Mu looked at Leo in surprise, “Of course not. You can’t finish it alone!”

“I can finish it,” Leo said seriously, “Give them to me.”

Xiào Mu shook his head, “No. If you really like it, you take 2 jars. You can’t eat the biscuits as a meal.”

Leo’s expression turned unhappy. Xiào Mu walked out after speaking and he thought to himself, Leo seemed to like eating biscuits more than he thought. Xiào Mu gave the plate of biscuits to Ah Da, who looked surprised, and the other guards are also surprised and happy, and quickly thanked him. Xiào Mu is in a good mood when he saw that the guys liked it. On the way back to the kitchen, he saw Ren.

Ren said, “Did you just gave Ah Da and the others some biscuits?” Seeing Xiào Mu nodded, he pretended to be unhappy, “Since they have it, why didn’t I get one too? Do you have an opinion on me?”

Ren’s words caused Xiào Mu to be slightly embarrassed. He said, “Leo said you don’t eat biscuits.”

The norm here in this world is adults don’t eat snacks when they grow up. Ren is a bit old for snacks and it is normal not to eat biscuits, so he doesn’t doubt it when Leo said that.

“That brat!” Ren angrily scolded, “He needs to be taught a lesson!”

Xiào Mu felt amused by Ren’s reaction and returned to the kitchen. Leo just came out of the kitchen and stopped him, “The biscuits are all with me.”

Xiào Mu became dumbfounded. Bypassing Leo’s hand, he went into the kitchen to take a look. The household robot has cleaned up the kitchen, and there were no biscuits left on the counter.

“Major General Leo, you can keep 2 jars but give me the rest.” Xiào Mu stretched out his hand.

Leo frowned and stared at Xiào Mu, “Are you angry?”

Xiào Mu glared at Leo, “No.”

“If you are not angry, why did you called me Major General Leo?” Leo sneered, “Don’t say you are being respectful, I won’t believe it.”

Xiào Mu curled his lips, “Taking people’s things without asking, this is too much.”

“Then, tell me who are you giving the biscuits to, and I will return them to you,” Leo said.

Xiào Mu looked at Leo and for the first time, he felt that Leo is extremely childish. He replied, “Gu Miao, Hawke, and the marshal. I just met him, and he said he eats biscuits.”

Leo’s face remained unchanged, and he took out 7 jars, “I’ll give you 1 of mine1.”

Xiào Mu gave Leo a surprised look. Originally, he was planning to keep some for himself, but he didn’t know that there won’t be any left after the distribution. On the other hand, he didn’t care too much for the biscuits either. After returning from Planet Ba, he bought a bunch of nuts online and even specially occupied a grid of the system backpack to store the nuts. As long as he could eat nuts at any time, Xiào Mu didn’t care about other food. It’s just that Leo obviously liked to eat biscuits so much judging from before, but he still generously gave a jar to him. That surprised him. But then Xiào Mu thinks further and realized, the biscuits are made by himself! Xiào Mu stopped being polite and put 5 jars away. The remaining 2 jars, he gave to Ren.

The next day, Xiào Mu did not go out in the morning and still stayed in the medicine-making room to study medicines. But the housekeeper would come every 2 hours to remind him to go out and rest. Also, the housekeeper’s attitude is really strict.

“Master Xiào Mu, you should also pay attention to your body when you study. If Major General Leo knows that you don’t care for your body, he will be angry.” The butler looked serious as he said that.

Xiào Mu finally knew how the housekeeper could develop into a housekeeper aunty.

After having lunch at noon, Xiào Mu started to browse the forum. As expected, he saw people talking about him getting frightened and Delish closing for a day. Most of the comments were accusing those people who came to the office to see him. Many people promised that they would only support him silently in the future and would not do anything that would frighten him. They also used the yellow-haired sentinel as an example and denounced his behavior.

“As a god-level guide, he didn’t act high and mighty at all. He personally gave us spiritual treatments, and he did not conceal the technique to make medicine at all. He even shared the process directly. He is worthy of our love.”

“Whoever frightens him or hurts him again will be going against us sentinels!”

Xiào Mu felt very surprised by how things turn out, it is even better than he expected.

“Big news! For the sake of the god-level guide, Major General Leo publicly stated that he is open for challenges in the battledome!”

Xiào Mu is taken aback by the sudden change and opened the link in the reply.
