Chapter 116 Clinic
All the lights in the small building were turned off.

Li Yan stood at the door of Jiang Mian's room, his short, dark hair damp and neat, with water droplets sliding down from the ends and falling onto his sharp brow bone, leaving a water stain.

A large, rough hand landed on the doorknob, but ultimately did not push it open.

She's already asleep.

He didn't want to bother her.

Li Yan turned and left, but his eyes turned cold and deep. Is this how you play the game?

Who's going to warm my bed tomorrow night? Forget about it.

Li Yan returned to his room with a cold and chilling expression.

The next day.

Jiang Mian slept well and didn't have to work as an assistant today.

So her daily routine consisted of making medicine.

Another task was to treat the orcs who came for medical consultations.

The other beast lords were also really busy; they were usually not at home unless Jiang Mian called any of them.

And for some reason, originally only Chi Lin reported to her every day, now other beastmen are also reporting to her every day.

Chi Lin: Sister, Ye Mei has been quite busy lately and will be back later. I'll miss you a lot.

Rong Fei: Baby, I'm repairing a mecha at the shop. I'll be back later. If you need to go out, remember to call me. I'll cancel everything I do to be with you.

Lin Yu: Mianmian, something's come up, I'll be back later... I'll come back if you need me.

Li Yan: Mistress, I went out to do a mission and came back late last night. I didn't disturb you since you were asleep. I'll definitely be free on Saturday and Sunday... Will you choose me?
Imperial edict: Mianmian, I will only be back this afternoon, I will not break my promise tonight.

Jiang Mian replied with "okay" in each of the replies. When she saw Li Yan's message, she remembered that it seemed that Li Yan had warmed her bed last night.

She replied: "Then come warm my bed tomorrow, Saturday."

Actually, it doesn't matter whether the bed is warmed or not.

Jiang Mian mainly wanted to pinch Li Yan's wolf ears. Now that he's her beast husband, she can pinch his wolf ears openly and legitimately.

Yes, she wants Liyan to take good care of his tail and make its fur softer so she can pet it nicely.

However, Jiang Mian remembered how he had refused to let her touch his tail before, and how he had glared at her when she pinched his wolf ears. So, when it came time to warm the bed, she decided to lure him in first, and not let him know that she wanted to touch his ears and tail.

Although it was still somewhat unexpected that Li Yan liked her, since he did, she shouldn't blame her for holding onto past grudges and giving him a little torment.

So Jiang Mian readily chose Li Yan as the person to warm the bed on Saturday.

Because the clinic is still listed on the city system map, and the outer city is still in chaos, orc patients have been visiting one after another today.

These orcs were generally free orcs. They were somewhat reserved and afraid when they came in. After all, humans were always superior, and if a dispute arose, the orcs would always be at a disadvantage.

"Come in," Jiang Mian said gently.

Seeing Jiang Mian's kind face, the two sheep-like girls felt their unease subside slightly.

Jiang Mian led them to a small shed in the backyard and sat them down. He examined them and found that they were also suffering from side effects from other medications, which had not improved. So he tried to find a new orc doctor to see them.

Some of the side effects they could endure, but some were so unbearable that they had no choice but to come to the orc doctor. Jiang Mian prepared five bottles of medicine for the sick sheep girl and slowly said, "Just drink one bottle every day when you get home."

"Doctor, how much is the consultation fee?" the sheep-like girl asked softly.

Jiang Mian's beautiful and gentle face, along with her calming and soothing tone, made the two sheep-like girls less nervous. The orc doctors they had visited before were either charlatans or smugglers, and the female orc doctors were either arrogant or difficult to get along with. Moreover, the medicines they prescribed all had side effects.

In any case, they had never encountered a human as gentle to orcs as Jiang Mian.

"One hundred star coins," Jiang Mian said casually.

"This is so cheap!" Another sheep-like girl who had come with her sister for treatment exclaimed in surprise, unable to hide her feelings, and blurted it out unexpectedly.

She quickly covered her mouth after she finished speaking.

She shouldn't talk too much. After all, when interacting with humans, the less she talks, the less likely she is to offend them. It would be terrible if she upset this human.

Jiang Mian paused, then asked, "Is it very cheap?"

Actually, she also profited.

She usually sets different consultation fees based on the patient's condition and the cost of the required medication, but she always makes a profit. Giving too high a consultation fee would be too outrageous. Jiang Mian is relatively conscientious and won't give outrageous prices; they are all normal prices.

The sheep girl looked at her for a while, and seemed to realize that she was not angry, before slowly saying, "The orc doctor we saw before charged more than a thousand star coins for consultations."

Jiang Mian was surprised, then asked again, "Does a simple cold medicine cost more than a thousand star coins?"

“Yes.” The sheep-like girl replied matter-of-factly.

Jiang Mian was silent for a moment. They really were too ruthless.

After all, the materials needed for the orcs' cold medicine are not complicated, and the refining process is not troublesome. They really dare to spend a thousand star coins.

“Well, other people are other people. I only charge 100 star coins here.” Jiang Mian didn’t say much more and just charged her according to her own price.

The sheep girl was stunned for a moment before paying and leaving. Even after they left, they were still a little confused. Was it really only 100 star coins?

"It's so cheap, could the side effects of this medicine be quite severe?" the sheep-like girl worried.

The sick sheep girl looked at the crystal-clear blue potion in her hand and shook her head: "I don't know, but this potion is very pure."

Since the consultation fee has already been paid, the sheep-girl sister will definitely try drinking one of them, no matter how little.

The two sisters naturally assumed that all potions had side effects, since potions made by humans always have some side effects.

However, they will later discover that there are no side effects, because he is a truly conscientious orc doctor!
The two sheep-like girls left nervously with the medicine.

After the sheep girl left, a number of beastman patients arrived. Most of them were beastmen who had been treated by Jiang Mian. After the beastmen left, they said that there was a beastman doctor in Lane 11 who charged very low consultation fees. Because of the low prices, beastmen who could not afford the consultation fees of other beastman doctors came to Jiang Mian's clinic with the intention of giving it a try.

So Jiang Mian treated a few more orcs one after another. After the orcs left, new orc patients came to visit. She opened the door and saw a somewhat familiar figure.

She paused. It was the same cat boy from last time, and the same cat girl was in his arms. The cat boy really was missing one of his cat ears.

In other words, she wanted to steal a customer's business and invited the other party to her clinic to treat his injured sister. However, the other party chose to ask for a cat ear from the pharmacist Su Xi as payment for the consultation.

Did I not expect that she would take the initiative to contact me this time?
