CHAPTER 605: CHAPTER 474: WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THE UGLY GIRL KNOWS MEDICAL SKILLS?

"I can tolerate this, but my mother cannot! You crazy bitches, what nonsense are you spouting!" Lan Cai’er finally couldn’t hold back anymore, and with a leap, she stood up, her voice strong and full of anger as she roared.

The entire Mercenary Alliance fell silent at once.

The pretty faces of the Xia Family’s Three Sisters turned red and white by turns, their expressions changing instantly.

"Ugly freak, who are you calling names!" Xia Meng’s face darkened, the two women beside her drawing their weapons.

"Ladies, please calm down. Fighting and causing trouble are not allowed in the Mercenary Alliance, otherwise, you will all be driven out of the city," said Little Li, sandwiched between several angry women, sweating bullets, knowing who he needed to appease first.

"Trouble! Someone’s been injured!"

Amidst the commotion, several mercenaries rushed in, carrying a stretcher with a bloodied person on it.

Unlike other large cities, there is no specific Alchemist Association in Cloud City. If someone gets injured in a team, it’s most likely treated by the team’s Alchemist.

"We encountered a Spiritual Beast attack on the way here; this brother is seriously injured and needs treatment." This was just a small Mercenary Team, which only included Martial Artists and no Alchemists, so after they got out of trouble, they immediately rushed to the Mercenary Alliance for help with treatment.

Despite rushing all the way here, the condition of the injured mercenary on the stretcher was not good, as he had lost too much blood and had already passed out.

At this hour, most of the mercenaries had gone out on missions, leaving only a few people in the city, and just so happened there were no Alchemists among them.

"Lady Xia, aren’t you an Alchemist? Please, take a look," pleaded Little Li to Xia Meng.

"Are you kidding me? I’m just an Artifact Refining Alchemist, I don’t know how to treat injuries," Xia Meng said. Upon seeing the blood-covered mercenary, with his exposed broken bones and flesh showing a purplish-blue hue, it was clear he was poisoned.

The sight of the blood and gore made her afraid it would dirty her clothes.

"Brother Li, let me give it a try?" A dark little face jumped into Little Li’s line of sight.

"You? Miss Hei Yue, aren’t you a Martial Artist?" Little Li was somewhat surprised.

She smiled, her bright eyes instantly turning into two crescent moons.

"Back in our village, I followed the local doctor for a few years and learned a bit about treating injuries. Since there’s no one else right now, let’s just treat a dead horse as if it’s alive," Ye Lingyue casually lied.

After asking the members of that Mercenary Team, and with no objections from the crowd, Ye Lingyue squatted down, asking Little Li to help prepare hot wine and clean bandages, while also calling Lan Cai’er over to assist.

The patient’s injuries, which seemed severe to others, didn’t seem like much to Ye Lingyue, who possessed Cauldron Breath.

After understanding the importance of the Qian Cauldron, Ye Lingyue had resolved not to use Cauldron Breath rashly anymore, especially not in front of so many people.

Fortunately, since her last encounter with Yun Sheng, he had taught her a number of methods for treating external and internal injuries.

Considering that mastering medical skills doesn’t happen overnight, Yun Sheng also specially gave Ye Lingyue a handwritten copy of his many years of medical experience, which he passed on to her.

Having examined it, Ye Lingyue had learned quite a lot.

In her mind, the handwritten methods for hemostasis, detoxification, and bone healing from Yun Sheng’s manual swiftly appeared.

After preparing the hot water and alcohol, Ye Lingyue took out the Star Saliva, heated it with fire for a bit, and began to scrape off the necrotic flesh, locate the toxins, and set the bones... This was her first time healing without using Cauldron Breath, so her technique was somewhat unfamiliar. However, she quickly got into the swing of things.

She found that this series of actions seemed all too familiar, as if she had seen them performed thousands of times before. An hour later, the patient’s wounds had been treated, and after taking the Elixir Pills, his complexion had significantly improved.

"After this period, give him some red ginseng water every day, and change his dressings every three days. He should be able to get out of bed in about a month," Ye Lingyue said with a sigh of relief after finishing the bandaging.

"Miss Hei Yue, we really cannot thank you enough this time."

The few mercenaries were overjoyed to see their comrade out of danger and hurriedly came forward to express their gratitude to Ye Lingyue.

"Hei Yue, you’re truly a hidden gem. Your medical skills are incredible," Little Li’s face blushed a bit. Just now, as he watched Ye Lingyue concentratedly treating the patient, he suddenly realized that actually, Hei Yue was quite beautiful, albeit with a richer skin tone.

"What’s so impressive about that? Look at her clumsy technique; it’s obvious she’s an amateur," the Xia Family’s Three Sisters said discontentedly.

No sooner had they spoken than a mercenary stepped forward.

"Ladies, would you be interested in joining our ’Earth Soldier’ Mercenary Team? We are in need of two members."

Following that, a few more mercenary teams stepped forward.

"We’re also short two people in our team, and we’ve just taken on some Intermediate-level tasks with good dividends."

In the blink of an eye, Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er, who were previously of little interest, suddenly became highly sought-after commodities.

To survive in Mercenary City, beauty has its advantages, but for mercenaries, strength is undeniably more important.

Although Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er were less attractive, their reactions to the bone protrusion emergency earlier showed that they were not novices. Moreover, Ye Lingyue’s healing technique was first-tier, which, for mercenaries who lived by the sword, meant having her with them was to have an increased chance of survival.

Seeing the two "ugly monsters" suddenly become hot commodities, the faces of the Xia Family’s Three Sisters turned ice-cold as if they would freeze over.

Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er were also troubled, with so many mercenary teams springing up all at once, they were at a loss for which one to choose.

"Why not join our ’Blood Drink’ team instead?"

While Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er were hesitating, several young mercenaries walked in. As these mercenaries entered, the previously stern-looking Xia Family sisters, Xia Yin and Xia Qing, immediately changed their expressions. Not just the Xia sisters, but nearly half of the female mercenaries in the Mercenary Alliance swooned as the men walked in.

It was no wonder that those female mercenaries were smitten; the several newcomers were simply too dazzling to ignore.

Especially the two leading young men, one with skin like honey-wax and a sunny smile, his hair shoulder-length and messy, and his features strikingly handsome, exuding a strong male essence.

The other man was even more astonishing, with skin a few shades fairer than the average male, dark eyes flickering with an icy light, and features more beautiful than a woman’s. At the moment, the man was frowning, looking impatient.

Unlike the other women, when Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er saw the stunningly beautiful male mercenary, the corners of their mouths couldn’t help but twitch.

"Why is he here?"
