Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!

”Country girl” Xiao Bailu noticed Expert Xu staring at her intensely. She wasn’t angry; instead, she pleaded with him pitifully:

”Expert Xu, you must cure my Big Cousin! He’s really pitiable—blind, lame, and he can’t find a wife. If he’s killed by this sleep paralysis curse, the Xiao Family will have no descendants left!”

She was such a pitiful sight, genuinely heartfelt.

Expert Xu felt shivers down his spine.

He was about to reach out to support Xiao Bailu: ”Don’t worry, Miss. It’s my duty to treat and save people. We’re here to help you.”

Xiao Bailu, without a trace, stepped over the threshold, leading everyone into the master bedroom.

Pointing at Huo Tingzun lying on the bed: ”This is my Big Cousin!”

At this moment, Huo Tingzun, with a black band covering his eyes and told not to move on the bed: ”...”

Damn it, it’s bad enough to be made a prop.

But to play a blind and lame prop?

Blind and lame, fine, but to say I’ll be the end of the family line?

This stupid woman has a screw loose; your cousin doesn’t have the surname Xiao. Even if he’s the last of his line, it has nothing to do with the Xiao Family!

Apparently, no one at the scene was concerned about whether Big Cousin’s surname was Xiao.

Everyone looked sympathetically at the weak, pitiable man on the bed.

”Oh, he really is a blind man. This half of his face is quite handsome, but it’s a pity his eyes are covered. I wonder what his whole face looks like?”

”Miss Xiao, put on a mask quickly. Don’t catch whatever your Big Cousin has; he seems to have a high temperature. Let’s take his temperature immediately.”

”Mr. Reporter, come give Expert Xu a close-up. He’s about to personally examine and prescribe medication.”

Expert Xu Shifeng could be seen scribbling on a prescription pad.

The prescription was the same traditional Chinese medicine formula Qin Xin had previously published online, with a couple of harmless, optional herbs added, plus some Western vitamins and nutritional agents for use.

”Take these first, the fever should be gone by morning. This formula has been verified to be absolutely effective, a unique secret recipe.” Xu Shifeng boasted shamelessly, claiming the prescription as his own.

Then he instructed his subordinate: ”Go draw blood.”

The subordinate called on the ”Seven Immortals”: ”Please come with me.”

Old Wang, wary: ”For what?”

Subordinate: ”Since you’re almost fully recovered, it’s time to contribute back to society by donating blood to support our expert team’s research. Besides, we brought plenty of nutritional medicine to give away for free today. Surely, it’s reasonable to volunteer a little blood, right?”

Old Wang, quite generous: ”Contribute to society? Sure, how much do you want?”

The subordinate’s eyes rolled; telling this farmer 600cc would scare him to death, better to keep it under wraps for now: ”100cc, not much, just a small half bowl of milk. It won’t affect your health at all.”

Old Wang was about to agree, when he suddenly remembered Qin Xin’s warning—these folks are cunning, never trust what they say, and never agree to any requests hastily.

Unable to think of an excuse, he said, ”No can do, it’s too late tonight, drawing blood would make me sleepless. Let’s talk tomorrow.”

Finishing up, he gave a signal to the other Six Immortals.

Old Zhang: ”I faint at the sight of blood, Doctor.”

Old Zhao: ”I’m on my period, not convenient to draw blood, Doctor...”

Subordinate: ”... What period, for a grown man?”

Old Zhao: ”Sorry, I misspoke. I meant my ’man period’. You know, men have a few irritable days each month too. Our village doctor said it’s my ’menopause’, so I need to nourish my vitality properly, otherwise, I’ll get depression.”

Subordinate: ”...”
