Chapter 1908: This is the Divine Doctor
While he was lost in his thoughts, Lao Shilaike came out.
Lao Shilaike was wrapped up tightly from head to toe, with only his eyes and nose exposed.
No skin could be seen anywhere else on him, and this black robe was also specially made, not letting a single bit of light through.
"Oh, respected Lao Shilaike, you have finally come out. Let me introduce you; this is Chen Yu, the Divine Doctor from Huaxia that I mentioned." Qiongsi hurriedly steadied himself and composed his emotions.
He walked forward with a smile to introduce the two to each other.
"A great pleasure." Lao Shilaike extended his hand, wanting to shake hands with Chen Yu; he knew this was a Huaxia custom.
However, he was wearing a glove on his hand, and judging by its shape, this hand could no longer be called a hand; it looked like the claw of some animal.
Lao Shilaike paused, and he withdrew his hand: "Apologies, Mr. Chen. The current state of my hand is somewhat impolite; please forgive me."
"It is fine, Mr. Shilaike. I know your situation, but you need to remove the things wrapped around you now so that it is convenient for me to diagnose and treat you," Chen Yu said.
"Very well, but before that, I still have some questions I would like to ask you." Lao Shilaike nodded, and looking straight at Chen Yu, he said: "Can my form really be changed back into a human's?"
"Judging by the aura on your body, it is possible, and your consciousness has not been altered by unknown Gene Modification, so you are considered relatively clear-headed."
"I can use medicine to restore you to your original appearance at the lowest cost, but the effect of the medicine can only be maintained for half a month; you will need to take the medicine again after half a month," Chen Yu said: "And you yourself must also be careful to try your best not to use gene drugs."
"Can you guarantee it?" Lao Shilaike asked.
"Of course." Chen Yu nodded and said: "I can say that in this world, there are not many people whose Medicine can compare to mine."
"My situation is not an illness, but one caused by genetics, so your Medicine can treat illnesses, but can it also treat genes?" Lao Shilaike asked again.
"When our traditional medicine reaches its peak, it can shatter bones and change forms, wash the marrow and replace the bones, allowing you to completely become another person. Gene problems? Mere child's play." Chen Yu smiled slightly: "What we treat is not the illness, but the body's functions."
"I once knew a person who called himself a master, proficient in Huaxia's Magic, but in fact, he was just a charlatan." Lao Shilaike smiled: "And the tone he used when speaking was exactly the same as yours."
"Both were so full of confidence, so I am wondering now, are you Huaxia people all the same?"
"That depends on the matter at hand." Chen Yu said indifferently: "The older a person gets, the more they fear death. Often at this time, people who fear death will do things that are difficult for ordinary people to understand."
"And at this time, a charlatan will manipulate their psychology. You were likely deceived in this way, weren't you?"
"..." Lao Shilaike was speechless; indeed, he had been deceived just like that.
But he would not admit that he had been deceived; after all, the head of the family was here.
"I heard from Qiongsi that your strength is very great, and you are a Divine Doctor from Huaxia?" Lao Shilaike narrowed his eyes as he looked at Chen Yu: "But if you will forgive my bluntness, you lack a bit of that Immortal-like aura."
"If you want to see me looking like an Immortal, I can consider sticking on a few whiskers and wearing a white robe." Chen Yu laughed: "Judging people by their appearance—that is not the way of a family head, is it?"
"Grandfather, please do not question Mr. Chen's ability. I dare to stake my character on the fact that what he says is absolutely true and reliable." Qiongsi could not hold back anymore.
He knew that Lao Shilaike had doubts in his heart, but wasting time like this was truly meaningless.
"Hehe, Qiongsi, when you were small, I taught you that when encountering matters, never be in a rush to draw conclusions. This Mr. Chen and I are meeting for the first time." Lao Shilaike said with a chuckle: "So, wouldn't it be better for us to understand each other a bit more?"
"It is indeed necessary to understand each other more, but Lao Shilaike, Mr. Chen is a gentleman in Huaxia who cannot be hired for any amount of consultation fees; his time is very Precious." Qiongsi said: "So I think you should just let him look at your situation."
Lao Shilaike pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly and said: "Very well, I trust Qiongsi, because he is the future successor of our family."
"As a successor, if he didn't even have the ability to distinguish right from wrong, that would be a bit excessive."
"Thank you, Grandfather." Qiongsi nodded slightly, his eyes turning a bit red.
To tell the truth, after such a long time, he had been living very difficultly, and he was still very moved to have received Lao Shilaike's recognition.
Lao Shilaike slowly took off his robe, revealing his true appearance.
Seeing his true appearance, Chen Yu's brows locked slightly.
The person before him... actually, strictly speaking, could no longer be called a human.
One could see that his head had become wide at the bottom and pointed at the top, with things similar to fish fins growing on his head.
Half of his face was covered in scales, and the other half was uneven, looking extremely terrifying.
He slowly took off his clothes, and his exposed upper body was also covered in hard, old skin, like the skin of a lizard.
His two hands could no longer be called hands, but claws, with only three thick fingers.
And there were almost no human characteristics on his entire body, except, of course, for the fact that he was still in a humanoid shape.
Seeing this situation before him, Chen Yu's brows also locked slightly; he knew that after Lao Shilaike and the others accepted Gene Modification, their bodies would undergo a series of changes.
But he had never dreamed that the changes would be so great; the severity of this guy's body exceeded Chen Yu's imagination.
"Mr. Chen, can my situation be treated?" Lao Shilaike raised his head to look at Chen Yu: "Of course, I mean without affecting my lifespan."
"It requires taking medicine, once every half month. Don't worry, it will not affect the lifespan after the Gene Modification." Chen Yu shook his head and said.
"Really?" Lao Shilaike was overjoyed, his face filled with excitement.
Although he had some doubts, when these words came out of Chen Yu's mouth, he was still very happy.
"I said I can treat it, so I can treat it." Chen Yu said: "Give me five minutes, and I can make your body recover as it was."
"Good, then please, Mr. Chen, diagnose and treat me. If I truly recover as I was, then the Elders in our Shilaike Family will all come out as well, and from then on, you will be the great benefactor of our Shilaike Family."
