chapter 10 Devouring Souls

Feifei Hua’;s home is in another wealthy villa area called "English Style" in Jiangnan City. Here, everything is European-style architecture, giving it a unique flavor.

As Han Tang and Feifei Hua entered, a middle-aged woman in a white professional suit with gold-rimmed glasses came forward.

"Miss Hua, you have surgery tomorrow. You should rest at home today. Why are you still going out?" The woman’;s face was cold, and her tone was harsh.

"I’;m sorry, today is my birthday, so I went out for dinner with friends," Feifei Hua replied politely to the woman. Then she said to Han Tang, "This is my health doctor, Dr. Wendy He."

Han Tang greeted Dr. Wendy He, saying, "Hello, Dr. He."

Unexpectedly, Dr. Wendy He completely ignored him and continued to insist to Feifei Hua, "This is even more unacceptable. You have surgery tomorrow, so your diet should be restricted today."

"Are you a prison guard? Even if you are, she is not a prisoner!" Han Tang couldn’;t stand it anymore. He thought that being proud and diligent was one thing, but having no compassion at all was too much.

Dr. Wendy He sharply retorted, "I am Miss Hua’;s health doctor, and I am responsible for her well-being."

"You don’;t need to be responsible anymore. Her surgery tomorrow is canceled," Han Tang said.

"What are you talking about? Do you know how severe her obesity is and how much harm it can cause? If this continues, it will increase the risk of cardiovascular disease by tens of times, seriously endangering her health, and even her life. So the surgery is necessary tomorrow."

"I say the surgery is canceled; weight loss doesn’;t necessarily require surgery."

"You don’;t understand. Her obesity can only be controlled through surgery, and there is no other way."

"That’;s your incompetence. Your inability doesn’;t mean others can’;t find a way."

Dr. Wendy He’;s coldness and arrogance made Han Tang very uncomfortable, so he spoke without mincing words.

"Ridiculous, you call me incompetent. Are you saying you have a solution?" Dr. Wendy He asked.

"Of course, I came today to treat Sister Hua," Han Tang said confidently.

"What? Are you a doctor?"

"Yes, I am a doctor."

"Where did you graduate from?"

"I’;m a third-year student at Jiangnan Medical University, and I haven’;t graduated yet."

Dr. Wendy He screamed suddenly, "You, an ungraduated student from Jiangnan Medical University, dare to say I’;m incompetent? Do you know my qualifications? I’;m a Harvard University doctoral student with dual degrees."

Han Tang replied coldly, "Qualifications don’;t mean everything. I am a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner." Dr. Wendy He sneered, "A joke. Can traditional Chinese medicine cure diseases?"

"Do you look down on traditional Chinese medicine?" Han Tang stared at Dr. Wendy He.

"What’;s wrong? I do look down on traditional Chinese medicine. It’;s all feudal superstition and deception," Dr. Wendy He said disdainfully.

"You have limited knowledge. Today, I’;ll show you what traditional Chinese medicine is." Han Tang was provoked by the woman’;s ignorance.

"You recently had a severe cold because your constitution is inclined towards cold. That’;s why you still feel chilly when you wake up in the morning. In addition, your cold constitution has led to symptoms like a cold stomach and uterine cold.

In the morning, you feel nauseous and have dry heaves, and when you eat, you often feel nauseous. You are taking a stomach medicine, but it’;s not effective because it doesn’;t address the root cause. These symptoms cannot be detected by Western medicine, which is why you feel unwell despite being healthy in medical examinations."

Dr. Wendy He was stunned. From her expression, it was clear that what Han Tang said matched her symptoms.

Han Tang thought for a moment and then said, "Also, your menstrual cycle has been delayed by eight days this month, and it’;s been a long time since you’;ve been close to a man, so you’;re not pregnant."

"You... you..." Although Wendy He was cold and arrogant, she was still a woman, and being confronted with these facts by Han Tang left her speechless.

Han Tang asked, "Do you have sanitary pads prepared?"

"What’;s it to you?"

"Go find sanitary pads quickly; your period is about to start."

"Shut up, you jerk." Wendy He was completely infuriated, but she suddenly noticed that Feifei Hua was looking at her strangely. She lowered her head and realized that her white dress was now completely red.

Wendy He covered her behind with her hands and rushed out in embarrassment. She had once been proud of her dual bachelor’;s degrees, but today, she had embarrassed herself in front of Han Tang.

Feifei Hua laughed and said, "Han Tang, how did you do that?"

"What do you mean, how did I do it? I didn’;t summon her period," Han Tang replied earnestly.

"Ugh," Feifei Hua punched Han Tang’;s chest, "I meant, how did you figure it out?"

Han Tang said, "Traditional Chinese medicine relies on observation, listening, questioning, and pulse-taking. I’;m a skilled traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, so of course, I can tell her physical condition. Do you believe in my medical skills now?"

Feifei Hua nodded and said, "Yes, I believe. I didn’;t expect your medical skills to be so impressive."

"Let’;s find a quiet room, free from interruptions, and start the treatment," Han Tang said.

Han Tang followed Feifei Hua into her bedroom, which was decorated in various shades of pink, revealing her feminine side.

After closing the door, Han Tang suddenly embraced Feifei Hua, held her face, and gazed into her eyes, saying, "Feifei, do you really like me?"

Feifei Hua didn’;t expect Han Tang to bring this up when they were supposed to be treating her, but she was deeply infatuated with him and replied without hesitation, "Yes, I like you, really like you. It’;s just that I’;m too overweight and feel unworthy of you."

"Don’;t say that; those things don’;t matter," Han Tang said, lowering his head slowly. Feifei Hua closed her eyes, waiting for a romantic kiss.

But she didn’;t get the passionate kiss she expected. Just as Feifei Hua was lost in the moment, Han Tang suddenly produced a talisman in his hand and swiftly affixed it to her Niwan Palace on her forehead.

There was a sharp scream, and a fist-sized black shadow was expelled from Feifei Hua’;s body.

The black shadow attempted to re-enter Feifei Hua’;s body, but the talisman on her forehead emitted a golden light, blocking it.

The black shadow tried several times but couldn’;t return, so it grumbled unhappily to Han Tang, "Who are you? Why did you ruin my plans?"

Han Tang said, "You’;ve been causing harm to this girl for over ten years; it ends here."

"Nonsense, I haven’;t harmed her at all. I just let her enjoy some delicious food. There’;s been no harm," the black shadow retorted childishly.

"Don’;t say there’;s been no harm; obesity is the greatest harm to a woman," Han Tang said.

"I don’;t care. I finally found a wealthy person and wanted to eat whatever I wanted. Now you owe me," the black shadow spoke with a childish tone.

"You’;re lucky if I don’;t destroy you right now," Han Tang said, and the black ring on his hand emitted an invisible barrier, trapping the black shadow.

"What are you going to do? Let me go!" The black shadow panicked, struggling desperately to break free, but the barrier was incredibly strong, and it couldn’;t escape.

"You stay in there quietly for now, and when the time comes, I’;ll release you," Han Tang said as he closed the barrier, trapping the black shadow inside the black ring.

After Han Tang attached the talisman to Feifei Hua’;s forehead, she appeared dazed, standing still without moving. Han Tang retrieved the talisman, and Feifei Hua immediately regained her senses. Just as she was about to speak to Han Tang, she suddenly felt a wave of nausea in her stomach and rushed to the bathroom, where she leaned over the toilet and vomited violently.

Feifei Hua vomited a large amount of matter, and the toilet had to be flushed three times to clear it all.

When she walked out of the bathroom, she felt refreshed and better than ever before.

"Han Tang, what on earth just happened to me?" Feifei Hua asked.
