My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 106: Don’t Treat If You Don’t Want To Treat!
"Ma’am, are you really all right now?" someone asked skeptically.
"I’m all right! I can feel it. I’m truly all right now. This illness has tormented me for more than a decade. I never expected to be cured here. Mr. Yang, no, Divine Doctor Yang, thank you so much!" Bai Yumei grabbed Yang Qi’s hand, overcome with emotion and crying her eyes out. These were tears of joy.
At that moment, Ye Qianqian finished preparing the medicine.
Yang Qi handed it to Bai Yumei, saying, "The consultation fee is one hundred thousand. Consider the medicine a gift."
"No problem, no problem!" Bai Yumei was overjoyed. Never mind one hundred thousand. She would have paid one million, even ten million. This disease had troubled her for too long. It had nearly taken her life.
"One hundred thousand? Isn’t that too expensive?" someone shouted.
"If you think it’s expensive, then get out of line!" the Wolf King roared.
For such formidable Medical Skills, one hundred thousand wasn’t expensive at all. If they knew Yang Qi had charged Lei Qingtian three hundred million for a consultation, they probably wouldn’t be complaining.
Yang Qi adjusted his fees based on the patient. He charged the poor less and the wealthy more, all at his own discretion. People could take it or leave it.
"Let me make something clear for everyone seeking treatment here," Yang Qi said calmly. "If you have no money, you don’t have to pay. If you have little, give little. If you have a lot, give more. Before the consultation, tell me your annual income so I can determine the fee. And remember, don’t lie."
"Divine Doctor Yang, please take a look at me!"
"Divine Doctor Yang, I’ve had this consumptive illness for years!"
"Don’t push! Everyone, get in line!"
The crowd hadn’t even fully processed Bai Yumei’s incredible recovery before the people outside began pushing their way in like a crazed mob.
"All of you, shut up! I’ll destroy anyone who dares to cut in line!" the Wolf King bellowed, causing everyone to scramble back into a proper queue.
"I have another rule," Yang Qi stated coolly. "I don’t treat common, minor illnesses. If it’s not a complex and difficult case, I won’t see you. So, don’t just join the crowd for the spectacle. There’s another clinic across the street and a hospital nearby. They can all treat you."
Common ailments offered almost no benefit to his Cultivation, and they weren’t worth his time.
"Ah! How can you do this!" many people cried out in disappointment.
Most of them were, in fact, suffering from ordinary ailments. Only about a dozen people had complex diseases and were here to try their luck.
The first person in line stepped forward. "I’m just a subsistence allowance recipient. My family really has no money," the patient said.
Yang Qi sneered. "Get lost."
"Divine Doctor Yang, what do you mean by that?" The man was baffled.
"I’ve already said, don’t lie to my face. A subsistence allowance recipient? If I’m not mistaken, you acquired that status through special means, didn’t you? You drive a BMW, live in a spacious flat, and your monthly income is no less than one hundred thousand, right?" Yang Qi said coldly.
"You? You can read fortunes, too?" The man was stunned.
"Read fortunes? Heh, this is what I call a Mystical Skill. I can tell at a glance." Yang Qi waved his hand. "Wolf King, kick him out!"
"No, no! Divine Doctor Yang, I was wrong, I really was!"
The man’s regret came too late. He was promptly thrown out at the Wolf King’s command.
"You just wait! Some Divine Doctor you are. I know Young Master Liang! You refuse to treat me? Be careful, or I’ll have this place smashed!" the man roared before turning and running away.
「A little over ten minutes later.」
Yang Qi had already seen three patients in succession when a commotion erupted outside.
"Everyone, get out of my way!"
As expected, the man who had been thrown out earlier was back. He was accompanied by a young man in his twenties, followed by a dozen or so hoodlums. One look was enough to tell they were bad news. Ordinary people wouldn’t dare to cross them.
"Young Master Liang, that’s the kid! He actually refused to treat me!" the former patient said to the young man, bowing and scraping.
The young man was dressed fashionably with his hair dyed white, and he was chewing gum. Surrounded by his entourage, he strode into the clinic.
He slammed his hand on the table, glaring at Yang Qi and demanding, "Kid, are you the one who refused to treat my guy?"
"I am," Yang Qi replied, a hint of amusement in his eyes.
In the past, he would have been somewhat afraid of people like this. But now, these ordinary folks were nothing to him. He wasn’t even interested enough to lift a finger.
"Good that you admit it! Let me tell you something: if you don’t treat my guy today, I’ll smash this place to pieces. Don’t blame me for being ruthless. It’s because you’re too ignorant to know any better!" the white-haired man said fiercely.
Yang Qi chuckled. "I have my principles. One, I only treat complex and difficult diseases! Two, I won’t treat anyone I don’t feel like treating! Hmm, as for other principles, I’ll let you know when I think of them. For now, everything is subject to the second principle!"
"What do you people think you’re doing? This is a clinic, not a place for you to run wild! I’m warning you, I’ll call the police!" Ye Qianqian couldn’t help but shout.
"Eh? Well now, look at the pretty little thing we have here. So lovely. Why don’t you come have some fun with me?" The white-haired man’s eyes lit up the moment he saw Ye Qianqian.
"Watch your filthy mouth! Otherwise, I’m afraid you’ll be crawling out of here," Yang Qi said icily. He thought of Ye Qianqian as a little sister and would never allow anyone to bully her.
"Divine Doctor Yang, you can’t afford to provoke him," someone in the line couldn’t help but whisper. "That’s Liang Jun. His family is the most powerful in this entire area. These guys are all on his payroll. A wise man doesn’t fight when the odds are against him. You should just treat the man."
The person didn’t dare say more, like how Liang Jun was a scoundrel who bullied men and preyed on women. He was afraid he’d lose his life for speaking out of turn.
"I said I won’t treat him, and I won’t! It doesn’t matter who asks. Now, get out!" Yang Qi’s eyes were filled with a bone-chilling coldness. This was no longer just about the man who had lied. He simply disliked this Liang Jun.
"Kid, I think you’re really tired of living. Anyone in this territory who’s dared to talk to me like that has met a bad end. You won’t be an exception!" Liang Jun said coldly.
Ye Qianqian was frightened. She’d seen it in movies; people like this, with their strong backing, were not to be trifled with. "Brother Qi, maybe we should just treat him? We don’t need this trouble." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
However, Yang Qi was completely dismissive. He just shouted to the line, "Next!"
"You bastard!" The white-haired thug was enraged. Yang Qi had completely ignored him.
"Young Master Liang, let me teach this guy a lesson," a tall, brawny man behind Liang Jun said with a cruel smile. "A good beating will make him compliant!"
"Fine," Liang Jun said with a sly grin. He loved nothing more than bullying the weak. "But don’t be too rough. If you cripple him, there’ll be no one left to treat me!"
The brawny man was powerfully built. Though he wasn’t an Outer Strength master, his muscles were incredibly developed. A single punch from him had to carry at least five hundred pounds of force.
"Kid, I won’t cripple you," the burly man grinned, revealing a row of yellow teeth, "but you’re going to have to eat a few of my slaps. Otherwise, our Young Master Liang won’t be happy!"
He raised his hand and swung it down. Scared, Ye Qianqian squeezed her eyes shut.
SMACK!
A crisp sound echoed through the clinic.
Ye Qianqian fearfully opened her eyes, only to see Yang Qi still sitting there, perfectly composed. There wasn’t the slightest sign that he had been hit.
