Chen Xi frowned deeper at her father's flattering words.
She sighed and said, "Father, I've been having dreams these past few days. I dreamt of another Cheng Xiaofan, who traveled here from another planet."
"If he really came, it would undoubtedly be a nightmare for us!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Tianxing threw his head back and laughed, saying, "Daughter, you're overthinking things. Do you really take that madman's words seriously?"
"Another Cheng Xiaofan? That's pure madness!"
"Hmph, even if such a clone really came, what then?"
"With the special guards our Star Lord's Palace employs, they can deal with him and ensure he never returns!"
...
At this very moment!
The entrance to Gan Xiaotang's inn was bustling again.
Cheng Xiaofan couldn't possibly treat people for free forever. The advertising board posted at the entrance had been updated.
"I am a renowned divine physician. Any difficult and complicated illnesses that hospitals cannot cure will be instantly healed by this master!"
"However, this master's treatment fees are extremely expensive, with a minimum starting price of one hundred million Yanhuang coins, and no upper limit!"
Many people's eyes widened in shock at the listed treatment fees and they turned away.
"The price is too high! What kind of divine physician master is this? He's simply a bandit!"
"Hey, brother, don't say that. Calling Mr. Cheng a divine physician master is truly fitting. I was here yesterday and personally witnessed him treating someone."
"Yes, I saw it yesterday too, and he treated everyone for free!"
"No way, he treated people for free yesterday and is demanding exorbitant prices today?"
Boom!
Just as everyone was marveling in astonishment, a flying vehicle descended from the sky and landed not far away.
The cabin door opened, and several people in white lab coats emerged, carrying a stretcher, and rushed towards them.
The leader was a middle-aged man, not tall but exceptionally obese, walking with a waddle.
"Everyone, move aside! I need to see the divine physician!"
The fat man waved his hands at the onlookers from a distance and shouted.
Seeing the luxurious flying vehicle, everyone knew that the person seeking treatment was either wealthy or influential, and they quickly moved aside.
The fat man arrived at the entrance and shouted loudly, "Divine physician, where is the divine physician?"
Cheng Xiaofan, holding a cup of fragrant tea freshly brewed for him by Gan Xiaotang, walked out of the room.
As he activated his Dragon Eyes and peered at the shouting fat man a few times, he couldn't help but chuckle and said slowly, "I am the divine physician. What is it?"
The fat man raised his round chin and said arrogantly, "I'm not doing this out of idleness. Why else would I seek you out? It's to get treatment, of course!"
"Come here!"
Several white-coated attendants carrying the stretcher immediately stepped forward.
A person lay on the stretcher, covered with a white cloth.
Cheng Xiaofan walked over and lifted the white cloth, revealing a young woman lying there. The right half of her face was festering with pus.
Despite this, it was evident that before her face festered, this woman was an absolute beauty.
"This woman developed a tumor on the right side of her face. During surgery, she suffered a bacterial infection, which produced new toxins that entered her body, causing her immense pain throughout."
Cheng Xiaofan spoke eloquently, "To alleviate her suffering, she was given a painkiller, which only caused her to fall into a coma."
He turned to the fat man and asked, "Am I correct?"
"Yes, yes, you are correct. That's exactly what happened!" the fat man immediately replied.
Cheng Xiaofan said, "This is the medical team's mistake. You should hold that hospital responsible. Why did you bring her to me?"
The fat man said, "The patient is my wife, and I am the dean of that hospital!"
"Should I hold myself responsible?"
Cheng Xiaofan heard this and laughed heartily, saying, "No wonder you're so fat. Are you stuffed full of all the ill-gotten gains?"
"Fatty, if this divine physician is not mistaken, you've extorted a lot of money from patients over the years!"
Upon hearing this, the fat man's face immediately changed, and he grunted, "Surname Cheng, I have a name. It's Hua Baiwan. Is 'Fatty' a nickname you can call me?"
"I hope you can treat my wife's illness as quickly as possible!"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and pointed to the advertising board, saying, "My treatment fees are very high. Take a good look at my advertising board!"
When Hua Baiwan saw the consultation fee on the board,
He immediately cried out in shock, "A minimum starting price of one hundred million? Are you crazy? Why don't you go rob someone on the street?"
Cheng Xiaofan shrugged and said, "If you want to be treated, fine. If not, I'm not forcing you!"
"You can take your wife and leave!"
Hua Baiwan became anxious and said, "I heard that yesterday Luo Shu came to you for treatment for bone brittleness, and you didn't charge him a single cent."
"Also, you spent the entire afternoon treating various difficult and complicated illnesses for those lower-class people, all for free."
"Why should you charge me such an exorbitant consultation fee?"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled slightly and said, "I am a divine physician, and I do as I please. Who I treat for free and who I charge an astronomical fee for is my business!"
"If you don't like it, come and bite me?"
"You..."
Hua Baiwan was so angry that he wanted to pounce forward and actually bite him.
But he had to swallow his pride and said, "Divine Physician Cheng, can you make it a little cheaper?"
Cheng Xiaofan laughed and said, "Alright, if you want me to treat your wife's illness immediately, I'll give you a price: one hundred billion. Is that acceptable?"
"What? One hundred billion?"
Hua Baiwan's face turned purple with anger, and he roared furiously, "A starting price of one hundred million, and you've suddenly jumped to one hundred billion! Are you trying to extort me like this?"
Cheng Xiaofan reached out and patted Hua Baiwan's shoulder, saying, "Hua Baiwan, the day before yesterday, a young girl was critically ill. You extorted five hundred thousand from her, but in the end, the girl lost her life, and you were left with a lifetime of debt. Don't you think your conscience has been swallowed by a dog?"
"How do you know about this?" Hua Baiwan asked, looking stunned.
Cheng Xiaofan said, "I can see it from the complexion on your face. Do you want me to reveal all your unscrupulous deeds in front of everyone?"
"Don't—"
Hua Baiwan panicked and said, "That was only five hundred thousand, but this is one hundred billion! Is there any comparison?"
Cheng Xiaofan's face immediately darkened and he said, "Surname Hua, they borrowed five hundred thousand and still had to go into debt. You can take out one hundred billion with ease."
"Alright, I don't want to waste any more time with you. Looking at your despicable face, this divine physician is very angry. The price will increase by another one hundred and fifty billion!"
"No, two hundred billion!"
"Hahaha, Divine Physician Cheng, this is so interesting!"
"I support Divine Physician Cheng. You have to be ruthless against people like this!"
"Two hundred billion, that's just right!"
"Seeing this scene is so satisfying!"
The onlookers who were watching the commotion clapped and cheered.
