The Wild Doctor and the Fair Beauty

"First, tell me, young man, what reason do I have to believe you can restore my masculine nature?" Lv Xiao slowly raised his head, looking at Jiang Xinghai seriously.

Xue Zhong took a step forward and said with displeasure, "Kid, anyone who dares to speak to my master, Divine Doctor Jiang, like that is either already dead or about to be!"

"Divine Doctor Jiang!" Lv Xiao was startled and his expression turned serious upon hearing this.

"That’s right, this is Divine Doctor Jiang!" Xue Zhong’s voice grew much louder.

"So you’re Divine Doctor Jiang!"

Lv Xiao suddenly broke into a wide grin, his face beaming. "To be honest, I, Lv Xiao, was originally studying in the Provincial City. I’d heard that Divine Doctor Jiang was in my home, Central State, but I never expected to run into you here in Jizhou."

Before he had even finished speaking, Lv Xiao cupped his fists together and dropped directly to his knees.

"So, kid, your goal was to find my master to treat that strange quirk in your personality, wasn’t it?" Xue Zhong grinned.

"That’s exactly right."

Lv Xiao nodded emphatically. "Divine Doctor Jiang, I apologize. I sincerely apologize to each and every one of your beautiful confidantes. I was wrong. My mind is twisted. I can’t stand seeing beautiful women, especially more than ten of them... I... I take back the term ’common trollops.’ I apologize."

"Curing you won’t be difficult, but there’s a condition: you must pay a price. A price that satisfies me, at the very least." Jiang Xinghai looked at Lv Xiao, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Lv Xiao said without hesitation, "Aside from betraying my family, I can agree to any price. I won’t have a single second thought."

"Do you think I’m despicable enough to make you betray your own family?" Jiang Xinghai said bluntly.

"Well..."

Lv Xiao was completely baffled. "Of course not. I was just wondering what Divine Doctor Jiang’s conditions would be. As long as it’s not betraying my family, I can agree to anything else. I just hope Divine Doctor Jiang can help me change my twisted personality."

"In that case, you can head back to Central State first. I’ll be arriving there tomorrow to stay for a while," Jiang Xinghai said, waving his hand dismissively.

Lv Xiao shook his head. "Young man... Divine Doctor Jiang, I’m willing to stay and serve you faithfully. Please don’t send me away."

"If you stay, then stop with the sarcastic remarks, or I’ll slap you into next week," Jiang Xinghai scolded.

Lv Xiao didn’t dare to make a sound.

’After all, he couldn’t guarantee it either.’

’How could a personality twisted for over twenty years be so easy to change?’

"Go on."

Jiang Xinghai once again waved his hand dismissively.

In the end, Lv Xiao left.

Jiang Xinghai and the others continued to drink and chat.

「Ten o’clock at night.」

Everyone said their goodbyes one by one.

「On the way back.」

Jiang Xinghai was in the car with the three members of the Shen Family.

"Uncle, I’ve decided to use Lv Xiao as our breakthrough point. Do you have any thoughts on that?" Jiang Xinghai asked, taking the initiative.

Shen Zhengye mused, "I heard from Elder Xue that Lv Xiao has five older sisters. He’s the only male heir of his generation. Straightening out his personality isn’t just his own desire, but his mother’s as well. If you help him with this, the Lv Family will be indebted to you. It’s a good opportunity."

"Honestly, I’d normally disdain using such a method. It would be more effective to just solve things with brute force," Jiang Xinghai said.

Shen Zhengye understood Jiang Xinghai’s thinking. "True, this method is slower, but its main advantage is that you won’t make enemies so quickly."

"Exactly. Since the Lv, Huang, and Su Families of Central State are a united front against outsiders, finding a breakthrough with Lv Xiao to dismantle them from within will be much easier." This was precisely what Jiang Xinghai was thinking.

His main focus during this time was to rest, build up his energy, and improve his strength; helping the Shen Family rise again was secondary.

Otherwise, according to his usual style, the Su, Wang, and Lv Families, who had once offended the Shen Group, would have all met a terrible fate.

The mother and daughter, Qiao Huimin and Shen Lingxue, just listened quietly to the two men’s conversation without saying a word.

A short while later, they all returned to the Shen Family residence.

After Jiang Xinghai washed up and had just gotten into bed to rest, his door was pushed open by Shen Lingxue.

"Xinghai, are you asleep? The night is long, and I can’t seem to fall asleep." Shen Lingxue stood quietly in the doorway.

"Then shall we... have a deep talk about life?" Jiang Xinghai perked up.

Having spent the last three nights together, Jiang Xinghai had assumed Shen Lingxue’s body wouldn’t be able to take it, which was why he hadn’t made a move tonight.

He hadn’t expected Shen Lingxue to come to him after all.

"Come with me to the rooftop to look at the stars."

But Shen Lingxue’s intention wasn’t what Jiang Xinghai had hoped for. She was still standing quietly in the doorway, waiting.

"Look at the stars? Alright, I’ll go with you."

Jiang Xinghai casually grabbed a thin blanket, took Shen Lingxue’s hand, and led her up through the attic to the roof.

The two of them snuggled together and gazed at the starry night sky.

"All those beauties were drinking with you tonight, yet you didn’t even spare them a glance." Shen Lingxue gazed at the stars and smiled meaningfully.

Jiang Xinghai wrapped his arm around Shen Lingxue’s waist and pointed to the bright moon hanging high in the sky. "In my eyes, you are that radiant moon. Everyone else, no matter how dazzling, is just one of the countless stars. It’s only natural for the stars to gather around the moon."
