Over time, Gao Lian and Gao Yushan became somewhat disappointed and seemed to have given up hope of recovering.

Perhaps when technology matures in the future, Gao Lian will be able to replace Er Zhuang's limbs with prosthetics, but that will still not solve the problem of survival, and Er Zhuang will still be unable to leave the treatment pod.

“It can be cured. I’m very familiar with the human body now,” Chen Ruoan replied, as several truckloads of wild grass were piled up in the passageway outside the laboratory.

The fox took down the white coat hanging on the wall and put it on, along with all-white sterile medical gloves:

"Everything is ready, I'm about to get started."

Chapter 174 I've decided to remove your vocal cords

"Go back into your body. Until I finish shaping your body, you'd better maintain a state of unity between your body and spirit," Chen Ruoan instructed into his phone.

Erzhuang: Huh?

Despite her doubts, she obediently returned to her physical body and awaited the fox's subsequent actions.

Chen Ruoan channeled his Qi and used a faint blue spiritual light to slightly isolate the surrounding environment, ensuring that interference was minimized.

The soaking solution inside the cabin flowed away through the drain pipe, and Erzhuang began to pant heavily. His breathing mask was covered with layers of water mist, and his life seemed to be hanging by a thread.

The fox, with its golden eyes, saw that, contrary to the faint life force within them, were two incredibly powerful souls.

Although she was physically disabled, her resilience was replenished from within; she was an absolutely strong and optimistic young woman.

Life outside the passage flows with the wind.

The instruments in the laboratory were shaking violently in the wind. Gao Lian was blinded by the sudden gust of wind. When he regained his vision, he saw that some of the weeds in the corridor had withered and turned dark yellow, lying listlessly on the floor.

Foxes are most proficient in wood-based magic. Wood represents growth, expansion, and upward movement, making the "Dual Hands" technique twice as effective with half the effort.

The "red hand," shrouded in crimson energy, reached towards Erzhuang's incision, and bones began to regenerate.

Her body presented a peculiar sight—the upper half of her flesh was spliced ​​together with the lower half of her skeleton, making it look extremely eerie.

"The materials are sourced locally. After the basic skeleton is completed, human stem cells are attached to it and differentiate into osteoblasts, which then slowly secrete bone and fuse with fascia and blood vessels..." Chen Ruoan recalled some medical knowledge.

The Qi was still flowing, adhering to the white bones and slowly merging with them, and the texture of flesh and blood was drawn in the Qi light.

···

A vivid rebirth ceremony proceeded in an orderly manner.

Finally, the skin part is also complete.

Building the skeleton is like assembling a Gundam, and shaping the flesh is like sculpting a dough figurine. Chen Ruoan gradually began to enjoy it.

"How should the overall style of the human body be designed?" The fox encountered a problem.

Sexy?

Sexiness pales in comparison to cuteness.

But Erzhuang is 27 years old. Is it appropriate for him to go for a cute style? After all, his face is what it is.

While he was saving people, Chen Ruoan acted as if he were in the early stages of a role-playing game—designing a character.

Chen Ruoan went online to collect information. According to the data, the waist-to-hip ratio was 0.7, the upper-to-lower body ratio was the so-called golden ratio of 5:8, and the head-to-body ratio was about 1:7.

The ideal design effect is: moderate fleshiness, full curves, large waist-to-hip difference, soft and smooth lines, gentle and feminine.

Where the data conflicted with reality, Chen Ruoan made appropriate modifications, gradually completing a work of art that can be described as perfect.

Looking at Gao Yushan's brand-new, snow-white body, the fox thought, "If the 'Double-Handed Technique' were applied to the fields of plastic surgery and body sculpting, it would definitely cause a huge uproar."

If used only between couples, it might become a "fetish" discovery machine, since things like small breasts, jade feet, animal ears, and tentacles would all become possible.

“You can get up now. Your body and speech may need some time to readjust, but it’s not a big problem. If you’re talented enough, you’ll recover in a few days,” Chen Ruoan said.

Er Zhuang opened his eyes. The faint light from the instruments in the dim environment was a little dazzling, but bearable.

She tried to sit up, but her waist and arms were a little rusty, so Chen Ruoan stepped forward to help her.

Erzhuang scanned his surroundings. His gaze was no longer looking down from above; the area his eyes could see was narrow, but it was reassuring.

She turned her head, facing Chen Ruoan for the first time without through cyberspace and a camera. The fox was wearing a white coat and off-white gloves, without a gentle aura or a cold temperament. When she came to her senses, she only felt that his face was handsome enough, and no other thoughts remained.

"There are no mirrors in the lab, but you can trust the fox's taste and aesthetic sense."

"I... I remember..." Erzhuang's lips parted slightly, her voice a little muffled, unable to pronounce the words clearly. She pointed to her phone, meaning she wanted Chen Ruoan to take a picture.

Chen Ruoan did as instructed and handed the picture to Erzhuang.

Er Zhuang smiled and glanced at it, then used his Yang Shen technique to step into the electromagnetic waves.

Chen Ruoan helped her up, and the phone in his pocket started buzzing.

Erzhuang: I think the legs could be longer, the waist could be slimmer, the buttocks could be perkier and fuller, and the breasts could be bigger.

"You actually picked one?"

Not everything is better the bigger it is.

"I've decided to reshape the area below your head into a Schwarzenegger-esque hunk with a broad chest, defined abs, thick legs, and full muscles."

Two strong ones: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

Swish!

Gao Yushan hurriedly returned to her body. She deliberately feigned some fear, curled up slightly backward, and hugged herself tightly with both arms, assuming a posture to guard against the fox's "invasion," but her face was full of smiles.

"Well, I won't cover after-sales service for physical coordination."

Chen Ruoan took off his white coat and draped it over Gao Yushan, who was naked. At that moment, Gao Lian rushed in from the corridor.

"Dad." Erzhuang pronounced the word clearly this time.

Her wet hair fell over her shoulders, and her cheeks began to have a healthy rosy glow. She could still smile at the fox, but when she stood in front of her hardworking father, her eyes began to sting.

"Erzhuang, why are you crying? Is it still hurting somewhere?" Gao Lian asked with concern. Erzhuang walked to the computer and typed out a few lines of text using one-finger typing.

"Dad, I'm not in pain. You were mistaken. I was soaked in the treatment chamber for too long, and what just came out of my eyes was nutrient solution. I just felt that you've worked too hard these past few years."

Unable to find the combination to form an emoticon on the keyboard, Gao Yushan turned around and smiled at Gao Lian.

"It's no trouble, it's no trouble. I'm just glad you're alright, I'm just glad you're alright..." Gao Lian's voice grew softer and softer. He remembered that he should kneel down and thank Chen Ruoan for her great kindness. The fox beside him had long since disappeared.

Half an hour later, Chen Ruoan was eating fried chicken frames at a stall when a message came through on her phone.

Erzhuang: Why did you run away?

"Let's leave the time to you two, father and daughter."

Erzhuang: I can still be with Dad for over forty years, but you're not often in Northeast China, are you?

"In the information age, there is no need to say goodbye. For you and me who can freely move between networks, there is basically no concept of geography."

Erzhuang: Hmph, as expected of an old senior, he really doesn't understand romance.

“I am already a remnant of the old era.”

Erzhuang: (;!_!)

Chen Ruoan sprinkled chili sauce on the fried chicken frame and replied, "I will stay at the Gao family's house for a few more days until you get used to your body and regain your speaking style and rhythm."

Erzhuang: Yeah. I'll treat you to a visit to the Changbai Mountain scenic area in a few days. I'll take the opportunity to stretch my legs; after lying down for so long, I can finally move again!

"it is good."

During her stay in Northeast China, Chen Ruoan didn't stay idle. She and Xia He visited all the surrounding universities. When she saw Erzhuang again, it happened to be snowing on Changbai Mountain. By then, she could speak very fluently.

Inside the scenic area, fine snowflakes drifted down from the gray sky, slowly and steadily, covering the peaks, pine branches, and stone steps with a thin layer of white veil. The wind blew gently, carrying snowflakes that landed on the face with a cool, refreshing feel, not biting.

Chen Ruoan arrived as promised. Gao Yushan's voluptuous and alluring figure stood against the snowy backdrop. Fine snowflakes clung to the hem of her light brown dress. Her long hair was loosely tied up, with a few strands clinging to her porcelain-white neck. Her face was flushed with a faint pink.

The scene should have had a unique charm, until Gao Yushan spoke:

"Oh my god, senior, why are you so late? I almost froze to death in this place."

The fox was taken aback.

"Hey? You look terrible. What's wrong? Did something scare you?"

His voice was so loud it could startle birds resting on the treetops, and his tongue carried a strong corn stubble flavor.

Chen Ruoan thought about it and realized that his previous interactions with Er Zhuang were all physical manifestations in cyberspace or through chat boxes. He had never heard the girl's voice offline—that accent was so abstinent.

Swish!

Chen Ruoan's hands glowed with a rosy light as she joked, "I've decided to remove your vocal cords."

"Huh? Hey hey hey!?" Gao Yushan hurriedly waved her hand, "Wait for me to adjust, I'll sound weird when I talk back to my hometown."

“I understand.” In her previous life, Chen Ruoan could speak fluent and beautiful Mandarin in college, but once she returned home, her Mandarin pronunciation was automatically blocked.

"Ahem, ahem." Gao Yushan cleared her throat, switching to a more mature, sophisticated tone. "You like it this way, sir?"

She then switched to a sweet, cute, and coquettish voice: "Do you still prefer it this way?"

Um--

Chen Ruoan pondered, and had to admit that this seamless voice talent was astonishing, capable of completely captivating any "voice enthusiast".

Unfortunately, the fox isn't voice-activated: "I've decided to remove your vocal cords and see how they grow."

"No way!" Gao Yushan made a bitter face and pointed to the takeout boxes piled up by the roadside. "I ordered old-fashioned smoked chicken and braised duck to go!"

Chapter 175 The person in my hall, your ancestor can't afford to offend.

Braised duck?

Who exactly came up with the idea of ​​feeding foxes with braised duck?

"Let me try this and see how it tastes." Chen Ruoan unpacked the snacks he had prepared for chatting while hiking and started eating right away.

This braised duck is primarily salty and savory, with a rich, savory sauce flavor. It's dry, firm, and slightly spicy, becoming more fragrant the more you chew it, and it's not greasy at all.

"How does it taste?" Gao Yushan asked.

"The one you bought is not bad." Dishes like braised duck and air-dried chicken are difficult to make, and their flavors often vary drastically depending on the region. Getting the right balance of saltiness and savory flavors is a real test of a chef's skill.

Gao Yushan patted her chest, it seemed that her vocal cords had been saved.

She lightly leaped up the stone steps, stopped ten meters away, turned around and waved high, full of energy that didn't seem like she was twenty-seven. After spending so much time in the treatment pod, she preferred exaggerated movements and playful, obvious expressions after coming out.
