Chapter 526: Chapter 499: The Bizarre Gu Insect

It’s no wonder everyone was shocked; Li Chen’s actions were indeed astonishing.

Wasn’t he supposed to treat the illness?

Why slap someone across the face without a word?

Watching Li Chen slap Lin Shu twice, even many of the Lin Family’s younger members began to suspect that Li Chen was acting out of vengeance.

"What are you trying to do?!"

An elderly member of the Lin Family spoke up, challenging Li Chen.

This elder was the very one who had clashed with Li Chen during his tumultuous visit to the Lin Family. Although not as powerful as Li Chen, the elder’s strength was nonetheless extraordinary.

Seeing Li Chen’s actions, he immediately became enraged.

Even if there were conflicts between you, the person is lying on the sickbed now; there’s no need for revenge at this time.

Looking at the elder, Li Chen shrugged: "Treating the disease."

"Is this how you treat a disease?" Gu Cai, who was also present, couldn’t wait to shout indignantly.

As far as he was concerned, the more the Lin Family disliked Li Chen, the better.

In his view, Li Chen must be the boyfriend of one of the sisters Lin Yi.

If because of this incident, the Lin Family denied Li Chen’s existence, then nothing could be better. Wouldn’t that mean he’d also have a chance?

He felt that to get close to one of the Lin sisters, he absolutely had to find a way to get rid of Li Chen first.

Moving forward, Gu Cai’s face showed deep distress: "The Lin family head is already in this condition, yet you continue to desecrate his body. This is the utmost disrespect to a patient!"

"If you are indeed a doctor, then this is a disgrace to the very profession, and you should be scorned by the entire industry!" Gu Cai declared loudly.

Li Chen glanced at the man with disdain: "Can you be quiet? If you don’t understand, then don’t make a fuss; this is a hospital, show some quality, will you."

That one sentence left Gu Cai red-faced and speechless.

He despised Li Chen’s behavior, and Li Chen just outright insulted his lack of decorum.

Think about it, this is a hospital, and the patient is right beside; his loud shouting was indeed a bit impolite.

Noticing his master’s gaze, Gu Cai sheepishly retreated, unable to utter another word.

Gazing at the Lin family elder who had just spoken, Li Chen’s eyes were calm: "If I wanted to slap him, even if he were awake, and even if you all stood here, could you stop me?"

Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, the Lin Family elder’s expression immediately soured.

But it had to be said that what Li Chen stated was true; even if all of the elder members of the Lin Family were present, they couldn’t stop this God of Slaughter.

After all, this was the terrifying figure capable of single-handedly annihilating the entire Li Family!

"Just watch closely," Li Chen said with a sneer. He ignored the elder and, turning his hand, slapped Lin Shu’s face with another slap.

At that moment, the elder noticed that as Li Chen moved his hand, there was True Qi vibrating within it.

"Could it be..."

Before the elder could finish his thought, Lin Shu’s complexion suddenly turned a healthy pink.

And that pink hue grew increasingly deep and rich.

Ultimately, Lin Shu’s entire face turned beet-red.

"Puuh!"

With a muffled sound, Lin Shu suddenly sat up and from his mouth forcefully expelled a mouthful of black blood.

Seeing this black blood, Li Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Because he clearly saw that within this black blood, there were a few Little Bugs sluggishly writhing.

Others might not recognize what these creatures were, but who was Li Chen?

Back in Panlong Village, he had learned a variety of things from several elderly men, and after going abroad, he had encountered countless more bizarre and exotic things.

After hesitating for just a few seconds, Li Chen had figured out what the little bug was.

"Gu..."

Li Chen’s eyes were filled with confusion, "How did something from Miaojiang end up here? And who used Gu on Lin Shu?"

When he arrived here, Li Chen had ascertained that Lin Shu’s condition was anything but ordinary.

Since a modern medical examination had already been conducted and Lin Shu’s various body functions showed no problems, Li Chen directed his investigation towards what the machines could not detect.

Lin Shu’s blood!

Indeed, upon checking, he found some unusual things hidden within Lin Shu’s body.

These Gu insects were the culprits behind Lin Shu’s unconscious state.

"Pu! Pu!"

A few more mouthfuls of black blood were spat out, each containing Gu insects.

After spurting those mouthfuls of blood, almost everyone gathered around, looking at Lin Shu with worried eyes.

But at that moment, Lin Shu had truly come around.

Although he looked somewhat wan, he was indeed awake.

"What... happened to me?" Lin Shu looked around, puzzled.

"Quick, check him!" An elderly doctor wasted no time in pushing various instruments over and began to examine Lin Shu’s body immediately.

In the end, the examination results showed that aside from feeling somewhat unwell due to the prolonged unconsciousness, Lin Shu had no other abnormalities; even his brain waves had returned to normal.

"Is he really... fine?"

"Is it really that easy?"

Only then did everyone look at Li Chen with shocked expressions.

It was only now that they realized there was no bravado in Li Chen’s previous statements—he truly could cure Lin Shu’s illness, and he did it so easily and effortlessly.

From start to finish, did Li Chen merely slap Lin Shu twice?

Can illnesses be cured like that?

Standing behind the crowd, Gu Cai also stared at Li Chen with a shocked face, unable to speak for a long time. At first, he moved his lips but eventually didn’t say anything. After giving the doctors a look, Gu Cai silently left the place.

When he left, Gu Cai’s face felt hot to the touch.

What had he just said? He had just metaphorically slapped his own face so swiftly.

And it really hurt!

Silently, Li Chen extended his hand, and a small bottle appeared in it.

He collected some of the black blood and the Gu insects within it, planning to take them back for research.

Seeing Lin Shu awake, Li Chen did not disturb him further and silently left the sickroom.

From the faces of Sister Lin Yi and Lin Xiaoxiao, Li Chen could sense their genuine concern.

Although Sister Lin Yi and the Lin family’s relationship had become rather strained due to the previous incident, blood was thicker than water after all.

Some things simply cannot be severed.

As Li Chen left, an elder from the Lin family looked back at Li Chen thoughtfully.

Others may not have understood what Li Chen did, seeing only that he slapped Lin Shu twice, but as a Martial Artist, the elder knew exactly what Li Chen had done.

When he looked to Lin Yi again, his face showed a hint of regret.

"Oh, family head, you truly made a foolish decision back then."
