Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect, Angels and Rakshasa Return

Chapter 320 331332—Who's indulging your bad habits? Studying medicine can't save you…

And so, a completely bewildered Qian Lingyun stood there, turning her head slowly to look at Yuma with suspicion, and asked, "Who is she...?"

"Yes, just as you sensed, she's not some reclusive powerhouse, just a Soul Master!"

"Soul Sect?" Qian Lingyun exclaimed in surprise.

Yuma, as a Super Douluo, actually...

"Yes, Soul Sect." Yuma saw through Qian Lingyun's thoughts at a glance and patiently explained, "But she is my friend."

"The level of cultivation does not actually equal the level of ability, did you know? She was once a renowned tailor throughout the entire Sun Moon Empire, and a single garment from her was worth 100,000 gold!"

"If we weren't acquainted, she wouldn't have come all this way here."

"What are they here for?" Qian Lingyun didn't understand the connection until Yuma casually mentioned, "Your wedding dress isn't sorted out yet, so I invited her here!"

"But didn't Xiaowei say that preparing a top-tier wedding dress takes months or even years? Even hiring a master craftsman wouldn't be enough time in the remaining few days!"

"Maybe asking a master might still have a chance," Qian Lingyun said, pouting as she lowered her head.

"It might take a few people several months to make wedding dresses, but what if dozens or hundreds of people work together to make them?!" Yuma blinked, her confidence and pride evident in her words.

Hearing this, Qian Lingyun's lips twitched involuntarily. She suspected some bizarre possibility and tentatively asked, "Judging from your tone... you wouldn't...?"

"That's right, I hired all the tailors in the entire city who could make wedding dresses at a high price! More than a hundred people are divided into three shifts, one person for one part, changing people but not changing their work, so working together can finish the dresses as quickly as possible, right?"

"Tsk, money really does make the world go round..." Qian Lingyun clicked her tongue and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "I was too hasty. I underestimated your wealth."

Knock knock knock!

A crisp knock came at the door again, and Bai Yuan's voice rang out from outside: "Master, what did you call me here for?!"

"Yes, yes, I need your help with something really urgent. Come in and talk to me!"

Upon recognizing the voice, Qian Lingyun was overjoyed. She quickly opened the door, pulled Bai Yuan to her side, and told Yu Ma and the other person everything about tomorrow's plans.

"So, you're going to reattach Xu Tianran's leg tomorrow?"

Amidst the clanging and clattering, Bai Yuan retrieved her toolbox, took out a bone scraper, and sneered, "Tsk, tired of flesh-filling surgeries, time to try something new... limb reattachment surgery, I've never done that before! Hehehe!"

"Um... I didn't say you had to do it!" Qian Lingyun looked at Bai Yuan with a complicated expression and explained, "I'm the main attacker, you're the support!"

"what!"

Bai Yuan let out a groan, listlessly putting her things back into her toolbox, protesting, "How many people in the world are more knowledgeable about human anatomy than me? Asking me to assist in surgery is a complete waste of my talent!"

"This is a waste of a master of human anatomy like me! It is..."

"Stop talking nonsense, just give me a straight answer, are you going to help me or not!" Qian Lingyun was too lazy to explain anymore. She directly brought up the old matter again and pointed fingers at Bai Yuan from her moral high ground.

Bai Yuan, who truly owed Qian Lingyun a great deal of favor, listened to those shocking numbers, and her lips twitched wildly.

In the end, she felt guilty, she compromised, she was afraid, and she admitted defeat.

"You're ruthless, remembering so many things. Fine, fine, I'll be your assistant, okay?"

Yuma, standing to the side, frowned as she watched the two clowns, shaking her head inwardly. She thought to herself, "Tsk tsk tsk, my daughter is such a stingy person behind my back, really... tsk tsk tsk!"

The next day at noon, a carriage that had come from the Sun and Moon Palace slowly stopped in front of the Duke's mansion. For the sake of secrecy, only two people came this time—Xu Tianran and his titled Douluo bodyguard.

As the owner of the Duke's mansion, Yuma naturally had to greet the guest, even though she didn't have a good impression of the guy who was about to marry her daughter. But... since her daughter was willing, it wasn't convenient for her to say anything.

"Greetings, Your Highness," Yuma said, but in reality, she only nodded to the prince.

What is her identity? Those who hold high positions in the Sun Moon Empire generally know some inside information.

Even if she met the emperor, he would not allow her to bow, let alone Xu Tianran, who was merely the emperor's son.

Xu Tianran sat respectfully in his wheelchair and bowed slightly. "Tianran greets Mother-in-law. I am physically disabled and unable to perform the proper greetings. Please forgive me."

"Your Highness, there's no need to be so polite. From now on, we're all family. Family doesn't need to speak like strangers," Yuma said with a forced smile, waving her hand.

Xu Tianran looked around but saw no one else. Curious, he asked, "May I ask where my fiancée is, Mother-in-law?"

"My daughter and her aunt are preparing the surgical site in the manor! There are too many people and gossips outside, Your Highness, please come in and speak with us!"

"I see! Then I'll take my leave of you!"

With the long-awaited opportunity to get a leg transplant right in front of him, Xu Tianran didn't hesitate and walked into the Duke's mansion with his bodyguard.

Just as Xu Tianran and his attendants stepped into the mansion, Yuma suddenly turned around and carefully examined the hunched figure.

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she sneered, "Shadow Douluo Xue Chen, you're not dead yet!?"

The hunched old man slowly raised his head, looked at Yuma and smiled slightly, "Thanks to His Highness the Crown Prince, I am still alive. I didn't expect that Madam would still remember me."

"Well, how should I put it? You're lucky you ran fast, otherwise you would have been one more dead by my hand that day." Yuma put away her cane, made a provocative throat-slitting gesture towards Xue Chen, and said contemptuously:

"So many years have passed, and your cultivation level is still the same. Have you wasted your life? If you weren't the Crown Prince's man, you'd probably be my dinner tonight!"

"..." Xue Chen didn't speak, but lowered her head and moved to the side, clearly feeling a little guilty.

"..." Xu Tianran didn't say anything either. He naturally knew what had happened on the day his father rebelled.

The group slowly walked through the courtyard. Yuma pointed to the only open door among a row of houses and whispered, "Your Highness, that room up ahead is the operating room. Let's go in; they seem ready!"

Xue Chen pushed Xu Tianran slowly into the room. Bai Yuan, who was cleaning the knives, only glanced at them before continuing with her own things.

"..."

Xu Tianran and Xue Chen exchanged a glance, but neither of them spoke. They just stared at the rows of gleaming, sharp knives on the table.

After cleaning all the surgical instruments and preparing the anesthetic, Bai Yuan looked up and saw the two men still standing there, seemingly doing nothing. Her pent-up anger flared up instantly.

"If you're not going to get treatment, get out. If you are, take off your pants and lie down. Remember to drink the anesthetic on the table, or you'll start screaming in pain!"

"If you weren't my niece's future husband, I wouldn't bother abandoning my experiments to care about you!"

"Uh...do you really have to take it off?" Xu Tianran's face stiffened, and he couldn't help but ask, his hands gripping the empty pant legs tightly.

"What else would I do?! Go ahead and use a knife on you through your pants? Are you out of your mind?!"

"As expected, studying medicine can't save laymen and medical idiots. I don't want to talk to you anymore." Bai Yuan casually slammed her tools on the table, rolled her eyes contemptuously, and sneered:

"Like I said, this is my temper. Treat me if you want, otherwise get lost! I'm not some third-rate doctor with no patients, I don't have that much free time to waste on you!"

"How dare you speak to His Highness the Crown Prince..."

Before Xue Chen could finish speaking, Yuma, who was watching the commotion, changed her expression and snorted, slapping Xue Chen on the shoulder.

He actually used his own level 97 Super Douluo soul power to suppress the words in his mouth.

"Madam Blood-Clad, what is this...?" Xue Chen's face darkened, and a strange sense of unease rose in her heart as she looked at the already closed door.

"Why didn't you bring more people with you and my son-in-law when you came? How can you attach a leg if it doesn't have a leg?!"

Yuma patted Xue Chen's thigh lightly with her palm, a glint of light in her eyes, and chuckled, "How about lending your leg to my son-in-law for a bit?"

"Alright, Mommy, stop scaring him," Qian Lingyun said, hands on her hips, giving Yuma a reproachful look while playing the good cop and complaining in a teasy tone.

"He's a guest brought by the Crown Prince, after all. There's no reason to cut off his leg."

"Ah, yes, yes, yes! What the Crown Princess says is right, that's what I think too. We're all family, family, there's no need for this..." Xue Chen echoed, looking at Yuma, whose emotions were clearly written all over her face, and felt a pang of pity for Xu Tianran.

With a mother-in-law like that, even if you had your legs reattached, it would be impossible for you to have a harem!

"Tsk, she's already siding with her in-laws before she's even married into the family. I'm really...sigh..."

With her arms crossed, Yuma walked towards the room door, head bowed, and said dejectedly, "Fine, fine, I'll go out for a walk and give you young people some private space!"

With the click of the door closing, Xue Chen, drenched in sweat, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He cupped his hands in thanks to Qian Lingyun and said gratefully, "Your Highness, I thank you for rescuing me!"

"It's nothing, a piece of cake!" Qian Lingyun nodded with a forced smile.

"This medicine is so bitter!"

After drinking the dark liquid on the table, Xu Tianran frowned and savored it for a moment. With a bitter expression, he lay down on the operating table and lost consciousness shortly afterward.

After exchanging a glance with Bai Yuan, Qian Lingyun abruptly closed her eyes, paused for only a second, and then suddenly opened them again.

Her eyes were instantly filled with a cold, divine light as she used her mental detection and soul power to help Bai Yuan analyze the various meridian nodes inside the severed leg.

Under the operating table lay a pair of new legs preserved in ice; judging from their slightly twitching muscles, they were truly fresh…

He took the specially made dissection scalpel, and with a flash of silver light, blood spurted out.

Xu Tianran's already healed wound, along with its bones, muscles, and blood vessels, was forcibly cut off by half an inch. This half inch was entirely due to the extra part that had grown back after his leg was broken.

Blood splattered from the wound, staining Qian Lingyun's gloves and gray coat red. Xue Chen, standing nearby, almost cried out in alarm.

Skillfully channeling two streams of icy blue Extreme Ice Soul Power into her legs to suppress the gushing blood, Qian Lingyun bent down, took a fresh leg from the container, and pressed it against the wound.

The whole process was actually just a matter of drinking a cup of tea, but Qian Lingyun's movements were as if she had practiced them a thousand times, and Xu Tianran did not bleed a single drop more.

Next, we'll connect the meridians... Anyway, he won't live for more than a few days, so let's just connect them and let him have some fun!

Thinking about it, Qian Lingyun also accelerated the circulation of her soul power. The purple Rakshasa soul power kept flowing at the connection between the new leg and the body, precisely connecting the separated meridians like a welding torch.

Bai Yuan, who was a bit slower than Qian Lingyun, was a biology master who was conducting the experiment for the first time. She showed the composure expected of a leading figure in human anatomy and completed the surgery meticulously.

"Your Highness, is it over already?!" Xue Chen asked curiously, pointing at Xu Tianran, who was lying stiffly on the board.

"No! The wound still needs stitches!"

Looking up, Qian Lingyun casually plucked a few strands of hair from Bai Yuan's head, breathed on the ends of the hair, threaded the hair through the eye of a needle, and finally tied a knot at the end.

Gently pinching the skin with her fingernails, Qian Lingyun's needle and thread fluttered like a large, dancing silver butterfly.

After changing the hair strands several times, Qian Lingyun tied a knot at the last needle hole and used a scalpel to cut the last connection between the needle and the thread.

"knock off!"

Tossing her gloves aside, Qian Lingyun leaned lazily against the wall and muttered, "The effects of the anesthetic should be wearing off soon!"

"Yes, I know the medicine I prescribed. He should wake up in a quarter of an hour at most," Bai Yuan, who was still stitching up her wound, suddenly looked up and said.

Time passed second by second, until Bai Yuan cut the tightly connected needle and thread.

As the effects of the drug wore off, Xu Tianran clutched his throbbing head and struggled to sit up. He looked down at his unfamiliar legs and wiggled his toes in surprise.

Soul power flowed into his legs, and a faint black light was released from them. The hip bones, which had been blocked due to the broken leg, were finally able to complete the cultivation cycle again.

What he found even more unbelievable was that his newly reattached legs felt perfectly normal, agile and powerful, just like before they were broken.

"Great, great, my leg, my leg is back!" Xu Tianran excitedly slapped his thigh and rolled over to get out of bed and take a few steps.

Bai Yuan, standing to the side, stepped forward without hesitation and slapped him hard across the face.

This slap not only stunned Xu Tianran, but also left Qian Lingyun and Xue Chen dumbfounded.

"Idiot, you're filming right after your leg was reattached? Do you want it to break again?"

Startled by Bai Yuan's aggressive words, Xu Tianran reacted instantly. He quickly withdrew his arms from his legs and asked:

"When will I be able to walk?"

"I reckon... it should be within the next few days!"

Bai Yuan pulled a small, grayish bottle from her pocket and tossed a pill into Xu Tianran's mouth. "This medicine is to clear the deficiency of qi and blood. After you go back, you can start to resume your cultivation. Anyway, don't get out of bed today."

"Start trying to stand up tomorrow and the day after, then practice walking!"

"Okay, thanks for reminding me, I'll remember that!"

Xu Tianran smiled and cupped his hands in greeting to Bai Yuan, seemingly having forgotten the sudden large bulge from earlier!

As they were carried out of the room, table and all, Xu Tianran suddenly turned around and said apologetically:

"Your Highness, I'll be heading back now. Please inform your mother for me!"

"Okay, I understand!"

Nodding, Qian Lingyun watched the two disappear from sight before finally sitting down in a chair with a sigh of relief, complaining:

"So connecting a soul to a human is this difficult, much more difficult than connecting a soul beast!"

Soul Beast: "Is it possible that our physical abilities are better, and we can slowly recover on our own once the connection is made..."

These words stunned Bai Yuan. She exclaimed in surprise, "You even reattached a soul beast's leg? When? How come I didn't know?"
