I Transmigrated into a Novel as a Villain, and My System Refreshes Randomly - Chapter 21:

Chapter 21: Divine Doctor, Save Me!:

In the VIP ward of the Imperial Capital First People’s Hospital, Ye Chen half-reclined on the bed, the bandages on his face failing to hide the arrogance in his eyes. 

He looked at the female doctor in a white coat before him, flashing what he thought was a roguishly charming smile. The grin was so forced that the corners of his mouth nearly reached the back of his head.

“Doctor Song, when will my injuries heal? I’m afraid of pain, so you’ll have to be gentle with me.”

The doctor was none other than the medical genius of the Song family, Song Zhixue. 

Seeing Ye Chen’s pretentious demeanor, her delicate brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, though her tone remained professionally calm. “Mr. Ye, your recovery is going well. Please rest and recuperate.”

Song Zhixue offered a polite smile, then turned to leave the ward. She simply thought the man’s smile was odd and didn’t dwell on it.

However, in Ye Chen’s eyes, that polite smile was magnified infinitely. 

As he watched Song Zhixue’s departing figure, he had already placed her on his “primary wife in the harem” list. 

As for Shen Xingling, her looks were decent, so she could be considered. Gu Siqing and Su Wanying, who had previously caught his interest, had now dropped in rank to dispensable “secondary choices.”

The Child of Destiny should possess all the beauties in the world!

As soon as Song Zhixue left, a short, middle-aged man entered, head lowered respectfully, “Dragon King, the bail procedures with the police have been completed.”

Ye Chen’s smile turned cold, “Du Xie, well done.” 

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. “Continue monitoring the Qin family’s businesses. Spare no effort—bring them down as quickly as possible and make them go completely bankrupt! And that Mo Meigui—get her for me as soon as possible. Once I have her, my Yin-Yang Divine Art will reach the next level!”

Du Xie lowered his head. “Yes, Dragon King!”

Meanwhile, Qin Xiao had used considerable effort to finally send away Gu Siqing and Su Wanying, who had been clinging to him. 

He changed into a neatly tailored casual outfit. After the bone-washing, his figure was more upright, and the clothes fit him even better.

“Yun Yiyi, for this trip to the antique market, do you have any suitable system recommendations?” Qin Xiao asked in his mind while adjusting his cuffs.

[Reporting to Host! Based on the upcoming plot analysis, your visit to the Treasure Pavilion this time will involve three key events.] Yun Yiyi’s voice carried a hint of excitement. 

[First, stop Ye Chen from picking up a spirit-infused jade. Second, regarding stone gambling, Ye Chen will slap the face of a rich kid named Geng Yu. Third, due to winning in stone gambling, Ye Chen will initially gain the attention and favor of the talented lady Liu Qingyou.]

Qin Xiao raised his brows. 

Geng Yu? 

The name was familiar—it seemed he was one of the original owner’s disreputable friends, from a wealthy family, a typical idle dandy.

Liu Qingyou, the talented daughter of the Liu family, was a female lead with quite a bit of screen time in the original plot. It seemed this trip to the Treasure Pavilion would be lively.

Qin Xiao left the hotel and took a taxi straight to the largest antique market in the Imperial Capital—the Treasure Pavilion. The place was bustling with people, with countless stalls and shops lined up. The air was filled with a mix of fresh earth and aged wood.

As soon as Qin Xiao entered the main gate, still admiring the dazzling array of antiques, someone bumped into him from the side. His stance remained steady with only a slight sway, but the other person stumbled and almost fell.

“Who doesn’t have eyes—” The man started to curse but, upon seeing Qin Xiao’s face, his tone flipped instantly. “Whoa! Isn’t this Brother Qin Xiao?”

It was Geng Yu—a youth dressed flashily, with hair dyed in multiple colors, looking lazy and frivolous. He rushed up with exaggerated delight, throwing an arm around Qin Xiao’s shoulders. “Brother, I’ve missed you! Where have you been having fun lately? You haven’t been answering calls. Oh right, your ice-cold fiancée, Gu Siqing—did you manage to win her over?”

Qin Xiao was about to brush it off and say no when his phone chimed with a WeChat message. The sender was Gu Siqing. 

The message was a photo—long, slender legs wrapped in silky black stockings, posed at an extremely enticing angle, seemingly taken in an office.

Geng Yu’s sharp eyes caught a glimpse of the screen, and his eyes went wide. “Holy—! Brother! You’re amazing!” 

His look was full of disbelief, admiration, and envy. 

Even the famously aloof CEO of the Gu family was in Qin Xiao’s hands? And in such a thrilling manner?

Qin Xiao’s mouth twitched as he calmly put away his phone. Seeing Geng Yu’s lecherous grin, he said, “Don’t overthink it. That’s a diagnostic photo she sent me. Didn’t you notice her leg shape is a bit off? Not perfectly straight. I’m helping her check.”

Geng Yu’s expression froze as he stared at Qin Xiao suspiciously. 

Diagnostic photo? 

Using a black-stocking leg shot to check leg shape? That excuse was beyond ridiculous. 

“Brother, you can diagnose illnesses?”

Qin Xiao gave him a sidelong glance, then placed his hand on Geng Yu’s wrist. After a moment, he let go, his eyes carrying a trace of pity. “Little brother, your pulse is weak and floating. Severe kidney qi deficiency. To put it plainly—you’ve been avoiding women so much your kidneys are almost a shadow.”

Geng Yu’s face flushed red, as if his deepest shame had been exposed in public. He shook off Qin Xiao’s hand and jumped up. “Nonsense! Qin Xiao, don’t think that just because you’re my big brother you can say whatever you want! I’m perfectly healthy! How could I be kidney-deficient!” He looked furious, like he’d suffered great humiliation. “You’re just a quack, guessing blindly!”

Qin Xiao looked at his outrage without the slightest ripple, even with a faint, knowing smile. He calmly brushed off the spot Geng Yu had touched. “You know the truth yourself. But…” His tone shifted, eyes gleaming with amusement. “Your condition is serious, but I just happen to be able to treat it.”

Geng Yu’s angry expression froze. 

Seeing the certainty in Qin Xiao’s eyes, unease crept in. 

Could… his words be true? 

He had indeed been feeling backaches, weakness, and lack of strength lately. And considering Qin Xiao had even managed to handle someone like Gu Siqing, maybe he really had some hidden skill.

The temptation of curing kidney deficiency quickly outweighed his pride. From furious a second ago, Geng Yu’s demeanor did a complete turnaround. With a fawning smile, he rubbed his hands together and leaned closer. “Brother… I was wrong. I was talking nonsense just now! You… you’re a divine doctor! Definitely a divine doctor!”

Then, with a dramatic “thump,” he dropped to one knee, clutching Qin Xiao’s leg. “Brother, save me! You have to save me! My happiness for the rest of my life depends on you!”

The sudden kneeling drew curious stares from passing tourists. Qin Xiao’s lips curved slightly. This kid really knew when to bend and when to stand.
