It was clearly the owner of the bamboo house greeting her. Qin Huanyu quickly straightened her clothes, which had just been messed up by the big white geese, and went into the bamboo house.

Upon entering, you can smell the aroma of various herbs. The first floor of the bamboo house is laid out as a pharmacy, with a circle of wooden medicine cabinets along the walls and a long wooden table and a wooden recliner in the center.

A beautiful young woman with a slender figure was lying on a recliner, seemingly dozing off. The recliner swayed back and forth at a leisurely pace.

The girl had long, silver-white hair and delicate, beautiful features, like a fantasy character from a two-dimensional world leaping off the screen—her beauty almost unreal. Her outfit was also daring; she wore a white cheongsam with slits on both sides reaching her shoulders, secured only by a few red ribbons at the front and back, but only below the shoulders and waist, leaving the middle open, seemingly for certain purposes.

The girl also had a pair of very beautiful legs, wearing a pair of white footed socks that just went past her knees. The foot part of the socks was fixed to her middle toe with rings, revealing her heel and a large area of ​​her sole.

There were no shoes around the recliner; the girl was surprisingly barefoot. The good air circulation ensured that her delicate feet had no odor, making them look like jade ruyi that could be played with, or some kind of carefully plated delicacy on a dining table.

"Have seen enough?"

Just as Qin Huanyu was pondering what kind of stockings would best complement her jade-like feet, a voice tinged with disdain brought her back to her senses.

Qin Huanyu quickly shifted her gaze from the girl's jade-like feet to her face, and sure enough, she saw a look of disgust in her eyes, as if someone had been caught peeking at the girl's panties.

"Excuse me, you must be Dr. Lily of the Valley?"

Qin Huanyu, thick-skinned and not shy at all, greeted the girl with open confidence:

"I am Ling'er's partner in the Investigation Bureau. You should have heard her say that I have been having some health problems recently and have come here for medical treatment."

"...Yes, I have indeed heard my little apprentice mention you."

Lily of the Valley sighed silently, sat up from the recliner, and placed her hands on her lap, her posture quite ladylike.

"But Xiaobai said you're a brave and reliable good girl... Do all good girls stare at someone's feet on the first meeting like you do?"

"Because Dr. Lily of the Valley's feet are different from others."

Qin Huanyu's eyes flickered, her Mathematical Magic Eyes quietly activated, her brain raced, and her mouth simultaneously began spouting seemingly logical nonsense:

"If I'm not mistaken, Dr. Lily of the Valley, you must know a special medical technique that allows you to treat others using your feet, right?"

“I can see that your toes are slightly longer than average, slender yet strong, which is perfect for stimulating acupoints. And you don’t seem to wear shoes, and judging from the style of your socks… I guess you can use your own feet as a medicinal ingredient to prepare the medicine? The rings on your toes are some kind of ritual implements, and you wear them there to make it easier to stir the medicine with your feet, right?”

Pa~pa~

"Not bad, you do have a good eye for observation. My little apprentice wasn't bragging."

Linglan chuckled and clapped twice for Qin Huanyu, her expression changing from disdain to appreciation. Qin Huanyu's rudeness was thus resolved.

"Please sit down first."

Linglan gestured for Qin Huanyu to sit on a small square stool, then rose from her recliner, poured two cups of hot tea from a celadon teapot, and placed one in front of Qin Huanyu and the other beside herself.

Tell me about your situation.

"Okay, here's the situation, Dr. Lily of the Valley..."

Qin Huanyu did not hide anything. She knew very well the importance of telling the doctor the truth and explained her physical condition and surgical plan.

"You want to remove your original spine and replace it with a metal construct?"

Linglan initially frowned deeply, seemingly disapproving of Qin Huanyu's plan. However, after a moment's thought, the frown dissipated, and her eyes brightened.

"However, this treatment plan is indeed bold and innovative. It's quite novel for someone like me who focuses on classical medicine. I've agreed to help you."

"Thank you so much, Dr. Linglan!"

Qin Huanyu finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled:

"When shall we depart? It would be more appropriate to perform the surgery in my laboratory."

There's no need to rush.

Linglan smiled and shook her head, pointing to the tea in front of Qin Huanyu, then to the long table in the room that was almost as tall as a person:

"You can have some tea first, then lie down here and I'll take your pulse."

"it is good."

These were all minor matters, and Qin Huanyu readily agreed, picking up her teacup and drinking it down in one gulp, just like she was drinking a beverage.

After setting down her teacup, Qin Huanyu, as expected, saw Linglan's disgusted face again. She chuckled awkwardly.

"Haha... I'm sorry, Dr. Lily of the Valley, I'm just a wild girl and I know nothing about the rules of tea ceremony. I've ruined your fine tea leaves... Ugh!"

Before she could finish speaking, Qin Huanyu suddenly widened her eyes.

That cup of tea was not only incredibly fragrant and mellow, but it also transformed into a warm current after entering her stomach, sweeping over her entire body and giving her a sensation similar to that of kissing Miss [Hibari]. Her limbs went numb, her toes clenched tightly together, and her mind became a little hazy.

This continued for about 3 minutes before Qin Huanyu finally let out a long breath, her eyes brightening.

"Good tea! Good tea!"

She truly knew nothing about tea ceremony and didn't know how to describe it, so she could only use this most simple and unadorned language to praise it.

This lily of the valley tea is no ordinary tea. Drinking it will not only make you feel lightheaded and blissful, but also leave you feeling refreshed and energized afterward, as if you've entered a state of sagehood. You could probably work overtime for 40 hours straight without feeling tired.

"Lie down~~"

Linglan had clearly anticipated Qin Huanyu's reaction. She simply chuckled, finished her tea, and then pointed to the long table again.

"Yes, Dr. Lily of the Valley."

Qin Huanyu obediently sat down at the long table and prepared to take off her boots.

"Don't take your boots off."

Linglan immediately stopped Qin Huanyu, and once again showed a look of disgust:

"The smell is too strong, and it will be difficult for me to clean up afterwards, which will also ruin my medicinal herbs."

"Uh... well."

Qin Huanyu scratched her face a little embarrassedly, then obediently lay down.

She knew, of course, that there was a big problem with this outfit: her feet smelled bad. But she absolutely loved the look of black stockings with long boots. Every time she looked in the mirror, she felt a strong urge to wear them. Tying the boot openings with shoelaces was also a way to prevent the odor from escaping.

'Next time I have the chance to go to the Royal Treasury to select treasures, I'll try to see if I can find boots or socks that can solve this problem.'

Thinking this, Qin Huanyu felt Linglan grab her hand, placing two cool, soft fingers on her wrist to check her pulse, while her other hand slipped directly inside her clothes. The icy touch on her skin surprised her slightly.

"Dr. Lily of the Valley? What brings you here?"

"It's just a palpation, don't talk."

Lily of the Valley remained expressionless, her hands never stopping.

"Oh~~"

Qin Huanyu stuck out her tongue. The word "palpation" immediately sparked a series of thoughts in her mind, reminding her of all sorts of doctor-related scenarios from the transmigrator's lewd and saccharine mind, where all sorts of things seemed to happen under the pretext of palpation...

'Could I have been manipulated by Dr. Suzuran too?'

'But Dr. Lily of the Valley is very pretty, and her little hands are so soft, boneless, and cool. It wouldn't seem like a bad deal if I actually got hurt by her...'

"Don't let your mind wander!"

Linglan glared at Qin Huanyu with a look of disgust once again:

"How can you be so indecent? What are you thinking about?"

"...Gu, I'm sorry."

Realizing that Dr. Linglan might have figured out her thoughts through palpation, Qin Huanyu quickly and obediently apologized.

It turned out that Qin Huanyu was indeed overthinking things; Linglan's palpation was very proper, and she quickly obtained the results:

"The curse you were under back then was quite interesting... If you had come to me for treatment immediately, I could have guaranteed you would be fine. But now, even I can only use bone-strengthening methods to slowly improve your bone density and restore it, but I can't restore it directly... From a medical perspective, your spine is actually in a healthy state right now."

"Yes, I know... and I just can't wait for the so-called slow conditioning or cultivation, so I want to just replace my spine."

At Linglan's prompting, Qin Huanyu rose from the long table and straightened her clothes, which had been slightly disheveled by Linglan's palpation.

"Can we set off now?"

"You really are an impatient person... Okay, let me pack my things first."

Linglan chuckled softly, and this time she did not refuse.

Over the next half hour, Linglan locked the medicine cabinet in her room, fed some food to the white geese in the yard, and watered the herbs.

After doing all this, Linglan stood outside the small bamboo house and snapped her fingers at the sky.

Soon, a buzzing sound came from afar, and a drone flew from the other side of the mountain to Linglan's place, hovering in front of her and emitting an electronic sound:

"Is there anything I can help you with, Dr. Lily of the Valley?"

"I need to make house calls."

Linglan pointed to Qin Huanyu beside her:

“She is the patient, and she is also an employee of your investigation bureau. The procedures should have been followed.”

The small light on the drone flashed a few times, and it quickly gave a response:

"Verification complete, outpatient plan confirmed, destination is Lingsu Research Institute in Baiguang City... Would you like me to arrange transportation, Dr. Linglan?"

"of course."

Lily of the Valley nodded, then shrugged somewhat impatiently.

"You've always tried to keep me from having too much contact with outsiders. Even if I said I didn't need transportation, you would definitely force me to take it. You wouldn't let me use public transportation, would you?"

"Thank you for your understanding and cooperation, Dr. Lily of the Valley."

The drone seemed to completely ignore Suzuran's complaints and left.

About 10 minutes later, a military off-road vehicle drove up and stopped at roughly the spot where Qin Huanyu had gotten out of the car earlier.

The two went to catch the bus together, and Qin Huanyu was surprised to find that Linglan was empty-handed, unlike Bailing who always carried a large medicine box.

"Dr. Lily of the Valley, don't you need to bring any medicines or tools?"

"I've already brought everything I needed to with me."

Lily of the Valley simply smiled mysteriously:

"Don't forget, I'm not like you humans. It's normal for me to have some powerful abilities, right? You'll see when the time comes. Let's go."

"oh oh."

Qin Huanyu was actually quite curious, but she held back and got into the off-road vehicle with Linglan.

The driver was a soldier from the Holy Zhou Kingdom, who was extremely disciplined. He didn't even glance at the two beauties, Qin Huanyu and Linglan, nor did he say a word to them. He didn't even show any emotional fluctuations and drove like a robot the whole time.

"Stop looking. This driver is also a member of the Royal Guard. He received very strict training from a young age and practiced special martial arts."

Seemingly having guessed Qin Huanyu's thoughts, Linglan shrugged and said:

"You humans seem to be very afraid that I will be contaminated by so-called negative thoughts. They won't let me have much contact with truly normal people. They won't even let me use the TV or computer. My only form of entertainment is reading storybooks, which they carefully select, and the plots are basically all the same boring formula."

"Uh...does Dr. Lily of the Valley get quite bored on a daily basis?"

Qin Huanyu asked tentatively.

"It's alright, I guess."

Lily of the Valley yawned nonchalantly:

"I don't have as many thoughts and desires as you humans. As long as I have interesting patients to treat every now and then, this kind of life is nothing special."

"Oh~~"

This time, the off-road vehicle didn't have to travel for almost 4 hours on the rugged mountain road. Instead, it arrived at a military airfield in the mountains in less than 2 hours, where a small plane was already waiting.

Military aircraft are much faster than civilian aircraft. In less than half the time it took to get there, Qin Huanyu returned to the Lingsu Research Institute, taking Linglan with her.

Qin Hai must have received prior notice from above, knowing that ordinary people should be kept away from Linglan as much as possible. So he gave almost everyone in the research institute a temporary leave. Even he himself obediently stayed at his residence drinking tea, temporarily handing over the entire research institute to his daughter.

Qin Huanyu had actually prepared for the modification surgery long ago, but she hadn't been able to find a suitable anesthesiologist to assist with the surgery. Now that Linglan has arrived, the surgery can begin at any time.

The two quickly completed the pre-operative preparations, changed into sterile gowns, and took their positions in Qin Huanyu's studio.

"Confirm again."

Looking at Qin Huanyu, who was already lying face down on the operating table, Linglan said earnestly:

"I will use the 'absolute-sensory needle' technique from the Golden Needle Acupuncture Technique to keep you conscious while blocking out pain, and then use a coagulation needle to ensure you don't lose too much blood during the surgery. In addition, I will save your life in case of any complications during the surgery... You can handle the rest yourself, right?"

"That's right, Dr. Lily of the Valley."

Qin Huanyu checked it carefully again, then put on the special helmet that allowed her to directly operate the robotic arm and fully activate the operating table.
