The events on both sides were proceeding simultaneously. Furthermore, they were both starting to develop in a rather bizarre direction.
Meanwhile, Nalun was completely unaware of all of this.
He turned into a certain room in the back of the courtyard. This was a dressing room reserved for entertainers.
Gatherings and banquets often wouldn’t forget to invite some entertainment groups to perform shows to increase the liveliness. However, this time, as the host, Nalun only prepared some interesting games. He didn’t actually arrange for any shows. Therefore, right now the dressing room was completely empty.
No one, at all.
Nalun calmly closed the door. His gaze landed on the strange and bizarre makeup tools on the table and the variety of fake wigs and beards to wear. A conflicted expression appeared on his face. Soon afterwards, as if gathering some important resolve, he started to…… take off his clothes with an ashen face.
A moment later, a disheveled and unkempt-looking man with long brown, curly hair and a thick full beard, and wearing a low-cost shirt, sneakily left the room and then ran wildly down the small road towards the foot of the mountain.
Everything was going as planned.
With a stiff face, Nalun pulled out a hat from his pocket and covered the fake hair, which was windswept. There was no sorrow or joy in the depths of his eyes; a deadpan expression on his face.
Before this, he had never thought that there would be a day he’d go to such extents to seek medical treatment.
Medicine in the Intergalactic Era was well developed. Treatment was individualized and tailored according to the patient. It was a flawless and meticulous treatment system.
If he went to a proper hospital to seek treatment, or bought medicine from pharmacies with business permits, he’d be recorded into the system– In other words, the medical record and medicine receipts would become a page in a person’s individual files.
With a casual search, Sirius would be able to discover a problem.
In order to prevent his left nipple from rotting off because of a certain unmentionable reason, and at the same time, prevent others from noticing any abnormalities, the extremely cautious Honored Prince struggled internally for a long time before finally deciding to take a desperate risk and strangle all possible shortcomings in their infancy.
He truly spent quite the time, effort, and thoughts on this.
Right now, that idiot Alida, has already been sent off. All seeds of chaos have been buried. Finally, he could go seek treatment in peace.
“Huh?” The General’s daughter, Mona, let out a confused noise.
The women in her surroundings all circled behind her.
“Did you see the Admiral?”
“Let me take a look too! Good Mona!”
Mona furrowed her brows and waved her hand, indicating for the crowd to be quiet. After a long time, she finally put down the personal comp that she held before her, a hint of bewilderment in her eyes.
As a high tech, Intergalactic product, personal comps were extremely portable and had a multitude of powerful functions. Currently, according to its master’s needs, it has already been adjusted into a high definition camera capable of recording thousands of miles away. At the same time, it was also live streaming on the website ‘Yu Chi’.
“Goddess Momo, don’t scare me. I can’t believe this is LuoRi Volcano, the A ranked scenery spot of the Imperial Capital! Isn’t this mountain a bit too deserted?”
“The dear friend above, don’t tell me you’re blind? Didn’t the Goddess show a picture of the entire scenery just now. Right now, this view is only a small corner!”
“Wait, who was that full bearded guy that just flashed by?”
“So it wasn’t just me who felt it was strange. Same question.”
“Asha people’s aesthetics do not include facial hair. It’s almost like I saw a ball of hair floating by.”
“Oh my god. In order words, Goddess Mo, you’re actually peeping at a dirty old man, who has a face full of beard?”
“……”
The pale-golden haired female companion next to Mona snatched over her personal comp, messed around with it a bit, and then raised her head to ask: “Just who was that?”
Mona thought briefly and said: “Just some random bystander that entered the camera shot.”
She took back her personal comp and led the crowd to the outdoor observation deck across the way, saying: “The onsen clubhouse should be in this direction.”
Readjusting the angle, Mona suddenly said: “Oh right. Betty my darling. Just now your bewildered little expression was really not bad. Look, they all fell in love with you at first sight.”
Betty gave an “ah?” and stretched her neck to look at the screen curiously.
“Are young ladies of the Imperial Capital all this pretty?”
“Ahhhh, who was that little cutie just now? Goddess, please give us an introduction!”
“The Asha Empire is really a paradise. Begging for a political marriage! Begging for an interspecies type of love!”
“The Insect Alien above, get lost. We are not reproductively compatible with you guys, thanks.”
……
Betty blinked. Almost as if very embarrassed, she covered her face and ran off.
Nalun, who didn’t know that he had randomly entered the livestream, was still carefully covering his tracks. He looked around the surrounding area occasionally with his grayish-green eyes and then looked down on the map on his personal comp.
What messed up clinic was this? The longer he walked, the more remote it became?
“Sss–” Sleeve caught by a tree branch, Nalun unhappily fixed his clothes, feeling even more annoyed. This little road was a shortcut down the mountain that he had found from a certain forum. Provided by experienced travelers, it was hidden and safe, a secret to most people. However, it wasn’t until he actually started trekking down this road that he discovered, it wasn’t an easy path.
For this kind of deserted, unkempt little road to exist in the Imperial Capital’s famous scenery spot, it’s really a blemish to its A level ranking. Once he recovered, he’d definitely find someone to tidy this place up.
No wait.
If someone became suspicious of his actions and investigated deeply, perhaps they’d find clues of him secretly seeking treatment. After that, his injury might be exposed. Then wouldn’t that Sirius guy also be able to notice the abnormality.
Forget it.
Just let it remain deserted.
After walking a long time, he finally found the clinic at the end of a certain street at the foot of the mountain.
“Ab……bott, clinic?” He narrowed his eyes and made a mental comparison, verifying that this was his destination. The outside of the clinic was very plain, without any noteworthy decorations. The mottled walls were filled with marks of age. Some small potted plants were placed at the front door. The flower buds haven’t bloomed; their plump bodies swayed in the wind.
It looked just like the hidden residence of a hermit master.
After Nalun entered, he discovered that the inside of the clinic was extremely quiet and empty. In the most eye-catching place at the center hung a huge embroidered tapestry, which had the words “The Saint of Rejuvenation.” There was no name for the person who bestowed the tapestry. Next to the tapestry hung numerous certificates and permits, a sight which made people feel at ease.
Nalun’s restless anxious heart was somewhat pacified. After the owner of the clinic appeared, Nalun conveyed the reason for his visit.
After the old traditional doctor, who had both of his eyes closed tightly, finished listening, he said directly: “Take off your clothes.”
Nalun thought briefly and obediently unbuttoned.
The next second, a pair of wrinkled hands started touching him.
Nalun: “……”
The old doctor: “Where? I can’t see.”
Nalun silently adjusted their position.
The old doctor touched a round ring. Brows furrowing, he hooked it with a finger and pulled it twice.
Nalun’s face instantly turned white.
“Hurts?” The old doctor swiftly let go: “It better hurt.”
Nalun covered his abused chest: “???”
The old doctor wiped his hands and fumbled around for a brush and paper. As he wrote, he said: “Young people…… really don’t know how to cherish their bodies. This kind of thing will harm the body if you play too much.”
This kind of thing?
Play?
After Nalun figured it out, he pretended he didn’t hear anything.
“This is externally applied medication. Once per day. This is oral medication. Three bowls everyday. Add water and boil for one hour. The details are on the prescription.” The old doctor handed over the paper in his hand.
After Nalun accepted it, he discovered that there were actually two pieces of paper. Opening them and taking a look, his expression stiffened: “Infertility and impotence, specifically for treating……”
“Smack!” The old doctor extremely accurately snatched the paper out of his hand, saying: “Oh, I gave you too much. This is not for you.”
Nalun: “…….”
“Sorry. I must protect my patient’s privacy. This is another patient’s prescription. I can’t let you read more.”
Nalun used silence to express his understanding.
Like hell!
He was the only patient in this clinic, alright?! Also, that didn’t even seem like a medical record. It was more like some strange pamphlet!
With a serious expression, the old doctor pointed in a direction: “The medicine is in the other room. Hand the prescription to my granddaughter. After you pay the money, she will get the medicine for you.”
Nalun nodded his head. Recalling the other was blind, he said: “Okay. Many thanks.” In any case, since all of those people online expressed confidence in this visually blind doctor, then he must have an ability that surpassed others.
Perhaps Nalun’s polite manners roused the other’s pity, the old doctor advised him sincerely: “Certain things, you really have to note moderation.”
Nalun said: “…… I’m very regretful and extremely ashamed. Please do not divulge this.”
The old doctor gave an understanding expression: “Don’t worry. I encounter your kind of situation a dozen times a month. I definitely won’t tell anyone about it.”
A dozen times?
He faintly felt something didn’t seem right. However, he still braced himself to retrieve the medicine.
Nalun wasn’t the same as Sirius, who often showed his face in public. He didn’t appear in the media often. In addition, he was in disguise this time as well. The old doctor’s granddaughter didn’t notice anything strange at all. She very skillfully accepted the money and handed the medicine to him.
Nalun couldn’t help but praise this clinic for its efficiency.
Seeing the doctor and getting the medicine actually only took 10 minutes!
Sure enough, this must be the descendant of some divine doctor, right? Compared to the hospital procedure of making an appointment, registering at the front desk, meeting the doctor, taking an image, getting a blood test, paying money, retrieving the medicine, follow up visit, and more imagining, blood tests, paying more money, and retrieving more medicine, this was practically god-like speed.
Before he exited the door, Nalun heard a low mumble.
”Why do such terrible men all have sex lives, yet I don’t even have a boyfriend?”
Nalun: “……”
After leaving the clinic, he walked a dozen meters gloomily, and then couldn’t resist taking a glance back. He just happened to see the huge billboard floating above the clinic.
“Abbott Clinic, century old prescriptions, including treatments for sexual and reproductive diseases for men, recovery from internal injuries and wounds ……”
He didn’t continue reading the rest.
This time, if he couldn’t humiliate Sirius horribly for once, he’ll flip his name and read it backwards! He will definitely, definitely, definitely, get his revenge!
A little situation occurred when he went back up the mountain.
A group of young girls and guys had gathered some unknown time ago at the foot of the mountain and were blocking the middle of the road with their youthful beauty.
…… why did so many people suddenly appear here?
Could this be the effect of the plan he taught Alida? But it shouldn’t have resulted so quickly.
Nalun, who originally planned to return to take off his disguise first and then appear before others, turned after seeing this scene. He silently moved to the edge of the group of people.
“What happened?” He suppressed his voice and asked the person before him.
