Chapter 54: Chapter 55: Do You Think I'm Stupid?!
In an instant, Liu Yuandong abruptly sat up.
The pain that should have been there now seemed to fall off his body along with the 'fish scales'.
"I'm not in pain!"
Liu Yuandong couldn't believe it and immediately stood up from the bed.
Ever since contracting this disease, Liu Yuandong had been lying in bed for a full five years.
But now, he felt the sensation of his feet hitting the ground again.
"It's gone... I'm really cured..."
Liu Yuandong trembled with excitement, "That cold feeling is gone too, I'm not in pain, and... all this filth on me, it's all fallen off!"
Liu Qiao'er and Zhang Yuhua both had their eyes wide open.
They truly couldn't believe that the ichthyosis, which many major hospitals had failed to cure, was healed by Ye Ling with just two injections?
But seeing Liu Yuandong walking back and forth, both of them knew, this wasn't a dream, but reality!
What they didn't know was that these two injections, if given by another doctor, would be unthinkable.
And more importantly, it was Ye Ling's True Qi.
Without this True Qi, if Liu Yuandong had fainted midway, he might have died right there.
Just on this point, there was no one else on the entire Earth, but Ye Ling, who could do it.
"Old Liu!"
Zhang Yuhua cried tears of joy and threw herself onto Liu Yuandong.
Over the years because of Liu Yuandong's illness, she had given so much, how could she not be excited?
"Haha, I'm really cured, Yuhua, I, Liu Yuandong, am truly cured!!"
Liu Yuandong laughed heartily, hugging his wife tightly.
Ye Ling smiled and said, "Uncle Liu, please don't get too excited yet, as you're not completely cured. There are still some toxins inside your body; if you don't completely eradicate them, they might flare up again."
Hearing this, Liu Yuandong was stunned and quickly grabbed Ye Ling's hand, saying, "Ye, thank you, Uncle Liu thanks you! As long as this disease can be completely cured, even if it means getting pricked 20 more times, 200 more times, Uncle Liu is willing!"
"That won't be necessary."
Ye Ling shook his head and said, "In the coming days, I'll concoct some medicine for you. After taking it about five times or so, the toxins will be completely expelled, and by then, you'll be able to recover fully."
"Really?"
Hearing that he wouldn't have to endure that pain again, Liu Yuandong was even more excited.
"So in the future... I can get out of bed and walk around at will?"
"Of course, and if you still want to go out to sea, once the toxins are completely expelled, you can go back to the sea without worrying about contracting this disease again," Ye Ling said with a smile.
"Hahaha, that's great, that's fantastic!"
Liu Yuandong held onto Ye Ling's hand tightly, simply at a loss for words.
Ye Ling said awkwardly, "Uncle Liu, if you keep holding on like this, my hand will break..."
"Oh, haha, look at me, I was so happy I got all muddled up."
Liu Yuandong quickly released Ye Ling's hand and turned to Zhang Yuhua, "Wife, hurry, go get two jars of good wine. Once I'm completely cured, I'll be able to support you all again!"
Zhang Yuhua wiped away her tears and looked gratefully at Ye Ling before turning to leave.
"Auntie, there's no need for wine. You can't drink before the disease is totally cleared up," Ye Ling said. He then turned to Liu Yuandong, "And Uncle Liu, the sea can be dangerous. I advise you not to drink. Drinking too much isn't good for your health either."
"Okay, okay, I won't drink anymore, no more drinking..."
Liu Yuandong now listened to everything Ye Ling said; in his heart, Ye Ling was the most amazing divine doctor under heaven and earth!
Ye Ling smiled slightly and winked at Liu Qiao'er.
Grateful, Liu Qiao'er's delicate body also trembled continuously. If her father hadn't been there, she really would have liked to plant a firm kiss on Ye Ling.
Over the years, Liu Yuandong had suffered from his illness, and Liu Qiao'er's heart had always been pressed by a dark cloud.
Now it was finally over, the dark cloud had dispersed at last.
Liu Qiao'er felt as if a mountain that had weighed down on her for five years had finally vanished.
At noon, Zhang Yuhua prepared a whole table of dishes and also called Liu Mingzhi, who was in high school.
Liu Mingzhi's high school was in Deyun County, and Lanxi Village where the Liu Family lived was located within Deyun County, less than a half-hour's drive away.
This was definitely the most sumptuous meal that Liu Yuandong's family had eaten in the last five years.
"Pang Dahai is still in the car. It looks like he's passed out. What should we do?"
Zhang Yuhua whispered to Liu Qiao'er.
Ye Ling heard their conversation and said, "Auntie, it's alright, let him stay passed out there. He won't die anyway."
Zhang Yuhua felt a bit of pity at first but thinking about what Pang Dahai had said to Liu Yuandong before, not only did she not feel pity anymore, but anger also started to flare up inside her.
"Hmph, that brat, seeing Qiao'er getting prettier and prettier, set his sights on her. When we didn't agree, he immediately changed his face. He's really not a good thing!"
"And Qiao'er has little Ye to look after her, don't she? When you compare Pang Dahai with little Ye, he lacks height, looks, and what else does he have apart from some stinky money? We really don't care about that!" Liu Yuandong also said.
"Dad..."
Liu Qiao'er coquettishly rebuked, as she and Ye Ling hadn't officially become boyfriend and girlfriend yet.
"Still want to explain? You've done it 100 times, and then there's the whole two-hour thing. You think I'm a fool?"
Liu Yuandong seemed exceedingly happy as he said, "But little Ye is indeed a good kid, and he also saved your dad's life. As long as he treats you well in the future, we mustn't let him down, you know?"
Liu Qiao'er opened her mouth wide.
Those words, her parents had indeed heard them!
She nearly wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Ye Ling also felt a little embarrassed.
Liu Qiao'er had spoken out of anger, dragging him into it as well.
If it really had been 100 times, that would be one thing, but the key point was that he hadn't even done it once!
Isn't this getting shot while lying down!
"You old rascal, what are you saying, look how embarrassed our daughter is!" Zhang Yuhua scolded Liu Yuandong with a hit.
"Ah, I'm just an old confused man, an old confused man. Don't mind me, little Ye, don't take it to heart, huh."
Liu Yuandong's face turned red, secretly thinking that he really got overexcited.
These words, it's one thing to say them to Ye Ling, but how could he say them in front of his daughter?
"It's nothing." Ye Ling smiled.
Take it to heart?
As if he would give a damn!
The guy was probably even looking forward to it.
Just then, a 17 or 18-year-old boy walked in through the door, almost 1.8 meters tall, still dressed in a school uniform.
It was Liu Qiao'er's younger brother, Liu Mingzhi.
