Chapter 461: Butler, Do You Have Candy?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The next day, Chu Luo woke up early.

The method she used to cure Old Gao’s Gu poison was a little special. Li Yan originally wanted to pair her with two assistants, but she refused.

Li Yan wanted to accompany her, but Chu Luo didn’t let him. “You can only wait outside if you go. You might as well do something else.”

She knew how busy Li Yan was. This person got up to go to the study for a meeting before dawn today and only ended the meeting to eat with her when she woke up.

In the end, Li Yan didn’t insist and said to her, “I’ll work in the office building in front. Call me if you need anything.”

“Got it. I should be done in two hours. I’ll come look for you then.”

Only then did Li Yan feel relieved and send her to Old Gao’s courtyard.

Unexpectedly, the butler was already waiting there.

He must have been here for a while. At this moment, he was chatting with Old Gao in the living room.

Chu Luo listened and sighed at the butler’s omnipotence again.

The butler was probably worried that Old Gao would be nervous and specially came over early in the morning to discuss mathematics with him. When Chu Luo entered, the two of them were chatting about mathematics.

The butler was the first to see Chu Luo and greeted her.

Chu Luo walked over and said, “Teacher Gao looks good today.”

Old Gao laughed and said, “I’m discussing advanced functions with Mr. Beitang. Mr. Beitang is amazing.”

The butler said humbly, “Mr. Gao is also brilliant. With your knowledge, you can teach in a university.”

“Hahaha… Compared to teaching in universities, I prefer teaching high school students.”

Chu Luo replied, “That’s right. If a high school student is disobedient, you can shout at them. If it’s a university student, you won’t even have the energy to shout.”

Old Gao, who had been exposed, glared at her in dissatisfaction.

Why was this child so not adorable!

Chu Luo grinned at him and said, “If Teacher Gao wants to discuss mathematics with the butler, you can do it after I conduct the surgery on you.”

When they heard this, the three of them stood up from the sofa.

At this moment, Mrs. Gao looked even more nervous than Old Gao.

“Little Chu, is it really just a minor surgery? Then what do I need to do?”

“Mrs. Gao, don’t worry. It’s really just a minor operation. Look at me, I don’t even need an assistant.”

At this point, Chu Luo turned to look at the butler.

The butler said, “Miss Chu, I’ll accompany Mrs. Gao here and wait for you and Mr. Gao to come out.”

Chu Luo nodded and said to Teacher Gao, “Let’s go, Teacher Gao. Let’s go to the operating theater.”

The operating theater was in a house beside their courtyard. It had been prepared long ago.

When the four of them arrived at the house, Chu Luo didn’t immediately bring Old Gao into the surgery room. Instead, she took out the kind of flower she had found in the tomb and said to the butler, “Butler, get someone to boil a pot of water. It’s best if it’s still boiling.”

“Do you need the water boiled in a medicine pot?”

“No need. Any tool is fine.”

“Okay.”

After saying that, the butler didn’t go out. Instead, he walked into the kitchen and boiled the water personally.

“Little Chu, is that medicine in your hand?” Mrs. Gao couldn’t help but ask.

Chu Luo nodded. “Yes.”

“Since it’s medicine, why don’t you just brew it directly?”

“That’s right. This kind of medicine can’t be brewed. Once it’s brewed, the effects will be gone. You just need to put it in boiling water.”

Old Gao and Mrs. Gao were a little surprised.

“I didn’t expect such a herb to exist.”

Chu Luo smiled. “There are millions of herbs in the world. Many rare herbs are different from ordinary herbs in usage.”

The two of them didn’t know anything about herbs, so they felt that whatever Chu Luo said made sense.

A few minutes later, the butler walked out and said to Chu Luo, “Miss Chu, the water has been boiled.”

Chu Luo went to the kitchen with Old Gao and his wife.

The butler had boiled water in a pot. The gas hadn’t been turned off yet, and the water was boiling in the pot.

Chu Luo walked over and said to the butler, “Butler, bring a bowl over.”

The butler took the bowl and placed it on the counter.

Chu Luo added, “After I put the herbs in the bowl, you can pour the water. Just half a bowl will do.”

“Okay.”

After Chu Luo put the herbs in the bowl, the butler carried the pot and poured most of the water into the bowl.

When the medicinal herbs came into contact with the water, they started to roll and emit a sizzling sound. Soon, the fluorescence on them disappeared and at the same time, they emitted a very strong bitter smell.

After a few seconds, the bitter taste disappeared. The herbs seemed to have melted into the water, and the water turned transparent.

Old Gao and Mrs. Gao widened their eyes at the same time. “How magical.”

After a while, Chu Luo smiled and said, “Teacher Gao, you can drink it now. It’s a little hot. Drink slowly.”

She then asked the butler, “Butler, do you have candy?”

Old Gao and Madam Gao looked at the butler with bright eyes. They thought to themselves, ‘Mr. Beitang doesn’t look like someone who carries candy with him.’

The butler nodded. “There are two milk candies. Miss Chu, do you want one?”

“I do.”

The butler handed one to her and the other to Old Gao.

Old Gao looked at the milk candy in front of him and the corners of his lips twitched a few times. “I don’t want it. I’m a grown man. If I eat the milk candy that the little girls eat, how embarrassing would it be if word got out?”

“Teacher Gao, take it. You can eat it after you drink the medicine.”

“It’s just a bowl of medicine. It’s not like I haven’t drunk medicine before. I don’t eat candy.”

After Old Gao finished speaking, he picked up the bowl of medicine, blew on it, and took a sip.

However, this mouthful made his expression twist.

The bitterness of this medicine had reached a new level. He felt like his soul was about to turn bitter.

Before he could vomit, Chu Luo reminded him, “You can’t vomit. Every mouthful is the essence. If you vomit, it won’t be easy to perform the surgery.”

When Mrs. Gao heard that the surgery would be difficult without the medicine, her face turned pale. She immediately threatened Old Gao, “If you dare to vomit, I’ll call the principal and apply for a semester off.”

When Old Gao heard this, he was stunned.

He swallowed the medicine in his mouth in one go.

Chu Luo touched the bowl of medicine in his hand with her finger and felt that the temperature was about right. She said, “Teacher Gao, why don’t you be ruthless and drink it in one go? You’ll be fine if you eat some candy after drinking.”

After saying that, she even chewed the candy in her mouth and narrowed her eyes, looking like the candy was really sweet.

Old Gao suddenly had the urge to kick the girl in front of him out.

However, since he had to finish it all anyway, he steeled his heart and finished the medicine in one go.

After drinking it, his face twisted even more.

“Mr. Gao, do eat this candy.”

Old Gao took the candy from the butler’s hand, peeled it off, and put it in his mouth.

After a while, he finally felt like his soul had returned.

Seeing him like this, Mrs. Gao laughed at him. “Didn’t you say that this was eaten by a little girl? Wouldn’t it be embarrassing for a grown man like you to eat it?”

Old Gao: “…”

Chu Luo controlled the smile on her face and said, “We can go to the operating theater now that you’ve drunk the medicine.”

After Chu Luo finished speaking, she walked towards the operating theater first. As she walked, she said to Mrs. Gao, who was worried again, “Mrs. Gao, we’ll be done in two hours at most. If you’re bored waiting, you can prepare lunch in the meantime.”

Mrs. Gao had been afraid that her thoughts would run wild while she waited and would feel flustered. When she heard Chu Luo say that, she quickly asked, “Little Chu, what do you want to eat? I’ll prepare it immediately.”

Chu Luo thought for a while and said a few more time-consuming dishes.

Mrs. Gao immediately agreed. “Okay, okay, okay. I’ll do it immediately.”

Chu Luo nodded and said to the butler, “Butler, help Mrs. Gao prepare the ingredients.”

“Okay, Miss Chu.”

Chu Luo and Old Gao entered the operating theater together.

The moment Old Gao saw the bed, he felt sleepy.

Chu Luo said, “Teacher Gao, if you’re tired, go and lie down. When you wake up, I’ll have already cured you.”

Chu Luo’s voice had a soothing effect. Old Gao didn’t think much of it. He nodded at her and walked over to lie down.

After Old Gao entered a deep sleep state, Chu Luo took out the worm powder that she had dried in the desert. She walked to the bed, opened the lid, and placed it beside his head.

At the same time, she took out two silver needles.

Soon, the worm powder in the bottle emitted a smell. The Gu worm in Old Gao’s brain became restless when it detected the smell. It was obvious that there was a bump on Old Gao’s head. Chu Luo quickly inserted a silver needle.

Then, she took out the copper bell and slowly shook it.

After squirming for a while, the worm slowly fled towards Old Gao’s neck.

Chu Luo inserted another silver needle into an acupoint on Old Gao’s neck.

This silver needle seemed to have blocked the worm’s escape route into Old Gao’s body. It quickly moved towards Old Gao’s arm.

The copper bell in Chu Luo’s hand continued to ring. A scalpel appeared in her other hand.

When the worm moved to Old Gao’s arm, Chu Luo used a spell to remove half of Old Gao’s sleeve.

She could see the worm’s crawling path on his arm.

Chu Luo rang the bell more quickly.

When the worm moved to Old Gao’s forearm, Chu Luo slashed with the scalpel in her hand twice, cutting Old Gao’s forearm and picking out the worm.

Chu Luo quickly put the worm into the bottle under Old Gao’s head.

The worm had been residing in Old Gao’s brain, and its body had already turned into the red color of flesh. Now that it came into contact with the worm powder in the bottle, the color on its body quickly changed. At the same time, it struggled and shook inside in extreme pain.

After about a minute, the Gu worm froze.

Chu Luo closed the bottle and put it in her Heaven-and-Earth pouch.

At the same time, she played the Phoenix Zither.
