Chapter 25: Don’t Call Her Vice President Liu, Call Her Auntie!
*Bang!*
The door to the medical room was forcefully slammed open.
Everyone turned their attention to the entrance.
A burly man rushed in, covered in blood, his face pale, clothes tattered, and shoes missing, with mud caked on his feet.
“Doctor, please save my magical beast!”
The man’s fierce appearance contrasted sharply with the tears streaming down his face.
“Uncle Qi, how did you get into such a state?”
“Miss, Vice President Liu, you’re here too~”
Wiping away his tears, the man activated his Beast Master insignia to summon his beast.
A large, breathless mastiff lay on the floor, its abdomen grievously wounded, blood gushing out and staining the medical room's floor.
This was a **Blazing Eyes Mastiff**, a Three-Star magical beast.
At that moment, the beast’s condition was dire, its green pupils widening, barely clinging to life.
“Yanran Jie, who is this burly uncle?” Xiao Xingyu asked.
“He’s an elder of our guild, Qi Lei. He’s fought alongside my father in many battles…”
Qi Lei was a Six-Star Beast Master, who had never shied away from the battlefield against hordes of magical beasts.
But now, witnessing his magical beast on the brink of death, he revealed a vulnerable side, tears wetting his face.
Liu Yue commanded, “All Beast Doctors, prioritize treatment for the Blazing Eyes Mastiff!”
In the medical room, all the Beast Doctors rushed forward.
The mastiff lay on the operating table, its eyes barely open.
“Oh my, what a severe injury.”
“It’s lost too much blood; we need to stop the bleeding!”
“The hemostatic clamp isn’t working; prepare the medication!”
“It still isn’t working; we can’t stop the bleeding at all!”
Just as several Beast Doctors were at a loss, Xiao Xingyu stepped forward.
“The wound was inflicted by a Beast King-level magical beast—the Golden Needle Poison Bee King, so conventional hemostatic medications won’t be effective.”
Qi Lei exclaimed, “Young man, how did you know I encountered the Golden Needle Poison Bee King during my mission?”
Xiao Xingyu remained calm, analyzing with precision. “There are green crystals near the wound.”
“This is a toxin unique to the Golden Needle Poison Bee King.”
“If a magical beast is poisoned, the wound cannot heal, and it will suffer a painful death.”
Liu Yue observed quietly, her gaze towards Xiao Xingyu filled with newfound admiration.
Xiao Xingyu continued, “I can help stop the bleeding caused by the Golden Needle Poison Bee King, but I need to know if you’re willing to trust me.”
“Young man, I believe in you!”
With no other options left, Qi Lei had to place his hopes on this mysterious young man.
“Take one Heaven Spirit Herb.”
“Crush a Purple English flower to prepare 20 grams of medicinal liquid.”
“One crystal core from a Poison-type magical beast of the Extraordinary level.”
“And…”
“Combine all the materials and brew them; it will take five minutes.”
The other Beast Doctors exchanged glances, unable to contain their doubts.
“Sir, the herbs you mentioned all contain different types of toxins. Isn’t that just pouring salt into the beast’s wounds?”
Xiao Xingyu’s voice was cold. “Immediately prepare the ingredients according to my prescription; otherwise, if we miss the optimal rescue window, this Blazing Eyes Mastiff will surely die.”
Without hesitation, Qi Lei shouted, “Don’t just stand there; hurry up and gather the herbs!”
Liu Yue also spoke up. “Do as Xiao Xingyu says.”
The Beast Doctors scrambled to gather the ingredients and brew the medicine.
**Five minutes later**, a dark green potion was extracted.
The potion had a foul odor and contained multiple toxic components.
Xiao Xingyu carefully applied the potion evenly to the Blazing Eyes Mastiff's wound.
*Zzzz~*
White smoke billowed from the wound, and the stench of rotting flesh filled the medical room.
The mastiff howled in pain, shedding two streams of blood tears.
As a Beast Master, Qi Lei stood by, his heart racing in fear.
Once the smoke cleared, the mastiff stopped howling and began to regain its vitality.
The other Beast Doctors looked on in shock.
“The bleeding has stopped! The blood is under control!”
“This medicine is incredible!”
“Look, the wound is visibly healing!”
“It’s a medical miracle!”
After applying the treatment, the mastiff’s wound shed large amounts of necrotic tissue and quickly healed.
In a mere three minutes, the wound had healed significantly.
*Woof~*
The Blazing Eyes Mastiff raised its massive head, softly whimpering to reassure Qi Lei.
“Furball, you’ve survived! That’s great!”
Qi Lei rushed forward and hugged the Blazing Eyes Mastiff, tears of joy streaming down his face.
In this moment, a tough man breaking down in tears didn’t seem pretentious; instead, it revealed the warmth of humanity.
“The wound on the Blazing Eyes Mastiff hasn’t completely healed yet, but fortunately, the toxins have been neutralized by my concoction.”
“To prevent any residual effects, I’ve written down the detailed steps for recovery treatment on this note.”
Qi Lei took the note from Xiao Xingyu’s hand, visibly moved.
“Little Divine Doctor, thank you for saving my magical beast. This kindness, I, Qi Lei, will remember for a lifetime!”
“By the way, what’s your name?”
Qin Yanran rushed over, wrapping her arm around Xiao Xingyu’s, beaming with pride. “Uncle Qi, this is my god-brother, his name is Xiao Xingyu!”
“Xiao Divine Doctor, I owe you my life. If you ever need anything, I, Qi Lei, will not hesitate to give my all!”
For a Beast Master, their magical beast was akin to their own life. Xiao Xingyu pulling the Blazing Eyes Mastiff back from the brink of death was an immense favor to Qi Lei.
Qin Yanran patted Liu Yue’s shoulder, smiling brightly, “Auntie, now do you recognize my brother Xingyu’s medical skills?”
Liu Yue’s gaze was fixed on Xiao Xingyu’s back.
At that moment, Xiao Xingyu proactively moved on to treat other magical beasts, with his remedies proving effective, earning gratitude and praise from the Beast Masters.
“Xiao Divine Doctor, thank you for healing my magical beast!”
“Xiao Divine Doctor, my mountain tortoise is suffering from anorexia; can you treat it?”
“Xiao Divine Doctor…”
The room was filled with calls for “Xiao Divine Doctor,” echoing one after another.
Xiao Xingyu patiently treated each magical beast, while also writing recovery training plans on the notes, handing them to each Beast Master.
Liu Yue’s eyes were deep with thought. “This young man truly has excellent medical skills; he’s a rare talent.”
“If his skills become known, it will surely attract frantic offers from various families and Beast Master Guilds.”
In this era, talent was the most valuable asset.
A skilled Beast Doctor could become a special pharmacist for wealthy families, be poached by top Beast Master Guilds for high salaries, or even become a favored guest of the Empress of Long Country…
Liu Yue smiled slightly. “It’s fortunate that this kid is Yanran’s god-brother; with that connection, he will be part of our Sky Horizon Guild in the future.”
Liu Yue then approached Xiao Xingyu. “Xiao Xingyu, your medical skills are impressive. Very impressive.”
“Vice President Liu overpraises me,” he replied modestly.
“Hey, don’t call me Vice President Liu. Just like Yanran, you can call me Auntie.”
Qin Yanran chimed in with a smile, “Exactly! You’re my brother, so Auntie is your Auntie too!”
“Um… Auntie~” Xiao Xingyu said shyly, his face turning a bit red.
Liu Yue displayed a warm and gentle smile. “Xingyu, from now on, you are our Sky Horizon Guild’s special pharmacist.”
A special pharmacist was the highest honor for a Beast Doctor.
“Am I seeing this right? Is this the first time Vice President Liu has smiled?”
“To make the ice queen smile so kindly, Xiao Divine Doctor must be someone special!”
“Xiao Divine Doctor is amazing!”
“Does Vice President Liu have a fondness for Xiao Divine Doctor? After all, she’s in her thirties and still unmarried…”
Suddenly, Liu Yue’s smiling demeanor vanished.
“Who’s spreading rumors? Six months’ salary deducted!”
