Chapter 282
Treatment (2)
“Mom, we’re here . Sheng City . I’ll bring you to the genius doctor now, you’ll feel better soon,” said Chen Pi innocently, his tone full of hope .
“Yeah, I’ll be well in no time… Then you won’t have to suffer so much for me,” sighed the old woman . At this moment, she didn’t seem to worry about herself, but her son Chen Pi .
A patient sometimes worried more for their family compared to their own illness . They didn’t want their condition to be a burden to the family .
Most of the time, they longed for their illnesses to be cured not for their own sake, but for their family’s!
The old woman was in such a situation now . Chen Pi had been suffering for five, six years due to her illness . Not only had he spent all his savings on her, rushing around to care for her also affected his personal life and work .
Chen Pi was still at the prime of his life right now, he’d already spent six years of this time on his mother . How many six years did he have left?
This was the main concern of the old woman . She didn’t want to ruin her son’s life- even contemplating suicide multiple times . However, she couldn’t bear to leave Chen Pi alone- he was too innocent, too gullible!
At least she could watch out for him while she was still alive . She was very worried he wouldn’t know how to care for himself if she left .
At the same time, Chen Pi also gave her hope by bringing her for treatment in different places . Although these consultations had all ended in disappointment, at least there was hope .
Take Sheng City for example . Chen Pi had already been here once, this was the second time they were here .

It wasn’t a big deal the first time . In this mainland, anyone with any incurable illnesses would eventually seek help from Sheng City .
That was why Chen Pi sought help there in the beginning, his wish was just unfortunately unfulfilled .
This wasn’t because Sheng City’s doctors ignored them- they wouldn’t reject anyone who sought help . They would send the best physicians to attend the patients without charging them as the doctrine of the Scared Teachings was to help every single person in this world .
Other than the devil and heretics, everyone under the heavens could seek help from them .
Unfortunately, it was just that Sheng City wasn’t capable of curing all illnesses . Even they couldn’t do anything about a handful of terminal illnesses and all they could do was say: ‘We’re so sorry but there’s nothing we can do . ”
While Sheng City indeed had the highest concentration of medical professionals in the mainland, this still didn’t mean the illness was incurable . There were many hidden experts among the common people who might have their own ways of treating these illnesses . These were often seen as obscure or traditional practices .
However, even the effectiveness of folk medicine still depended on a patient’s luck .
No matter what, this brought them hope . And this glimmer of hope was enough to keep the patient going .
This time, Chen Pi had rushed over immediately after hearing rumours of a ‘confused genius doctor’ . People have claimed that this confused doctor had such awesome skills even top healers in Sheng City couldn’t compare!
Furthermore, he heard of how this doctor stopped the plague- the same plague the doctors had given up on . This doctor was the one who turned the tide and saved thousands of lives .
While Chen Pi didn’t understand what good the doctor did, he just knew this doctor did something very, very good for the people . He was only sure of one thing: he’ll be better than the doctors he’d consulted previously!

Therefore, once he received news, he immediately took off to Sheng City like many others who also needed medical help .
Even Ye Lanyu and the rest heard of this doctor . That was also why they brought Chen Pi and his mother with them here . They were so deeply moved by Chen Pi’s love for his mother, that not only did they allow the mother and son to tag along, they were willing to bring them both to seek medical help .
Chen Pi and his mother’s journey was a community effort!
Ye Lanyu had another reason for being here . After listening to all the rumours, she suspected the doctor to be her baby brother .
The seventh princess and Zhen Xiaoyan also had a similar gut feeling . They, especially Zhen Xiaoyan, thought this doctor sounded very similar to Ye Lang because Ye Lang had treated her before .
They still had one question though: was Ye Lang really THAT skilful? So skilful even the doctors of Sheng City bowed before him?!
They were very doubtful about this!
Although Ye Lang displayed some medical skills while healing Zhen Xiaoyan, the techniques he used were too vague to gauge his true capabilities . And from their experience, he’d never really showed much talent in the medical field .
Well, when Ye Lang was at the Soaring Sky Empire, there were already plenty of skilled doctors present- there was no need for him . If his skills weren’t needed, why would he use them?
Then again, Ye Lang also spent money on hiring doctors for others as an outlet to squander his riches . That was why people underestimated his medical skills . To them, even if he had some medical knowledge, he couldn’t be THAT skilful .
The bottom line was: no one believed Ye Lang would have such great medical skills!
To other people, no one would even relate this doctor and Ye Lang after solely hearing of his deeds . Only the ones closest to him suspected so after listening to the rumours .
It was an inexplicable feeling… A woman’s sixth’s sense, perhaps!
“Teacher, Little Seven, Little Yan and I are going to accompany Chen Pi to take a look . Could you help contact Sheng City to see what arrangments they have for us?” said Ye Lanyu to Strongman . She sounded so graceful .
Ye Lanyu was still an elegant aristocrat lady after all- when she wasn’t angry . Even a princess might now have such elegance . She was very gracious and ladylike, always minding her manners .
While she was cool-headed most of the time, she was still a little like Ye Lang in the sense that both of the actions could sometimes be very unpredictable .
Fortunately, Ye Lanyu’s problem wasn’t as serious as Ye Lang’s . To everyone, Ye Lanyu was still a very elegant lady as long as you didn’t touch her baby brother .
“Alright, the problem will be dealt with soon enough if you go now . And if it isn’t, well, we can’t do much about it either,” said Strongman .

Paths of the Chosen (Rewritten, Revised, and Reinvigorated)
Daniel Stewart was chosen to alpha test a brand new Immersive VR game, "The Realms". What he doesn't know is that he has also been Chosen by one of the Powers of a far-off world, and is now a pawn in a game much bigger than any he thought he would ever participate in. Will he survive and thrive in this strange new world, or will he stumble and fall, shattered by the ambitions of another? Does he have what it takes to walk the Paths of the Chosen?---Inspired by the Chaos Seeds novels, TheDespaxas's The Gamer, and a wide variety of games and books, although the world, characters, and systems are my own. Expect high fantasy, magic, combat and intrigue, love and loss, grief and passion. This story is intended for adult audiences and contains explicit sexual content, profanity, and violence (including sexual violence, although not by the protagonist and not as a focus of the story). Chapters with such content will be clearly marked, and all explicit sexual content will be behind spoiler tags. I prefer my stories to have happy endings, and especially in these uncertain times, I feel that it is important to maintain hope. While this tale will reach some dark places, I promise to you that, when all is said and done, the villains will be justly punished and the heroes will prevail and prosper. Remember: it is darkest before dawn, but dawn always comes. Please note also that although this story does not have the [Harem] tag, it does have an extremely slow build into a polyamorous relationship. Additionally, starting with Champion (book two of the series), the [Multiple Lead Characters], [Female Lead], and [Non-Human Lead] tags would also apply to varying degrees.This is a complete, ground-up rewrite of the original Paths of the Chosen, following feedback from here and elsewhere. It is now written in the third-person limited omniscient perspective and in the past tense. In addition, while the major plot beats are unchanged, most of what comes between them has been reconsidered and rewritten, with pacing and characterization as a special focus.---Update schedule: 2 chapters per week (Monday and Thursday), not counting bonus chapters. Chapter length is roughly 2,500 words on average, +/- 1,000 words. Chapters with explicit content tend to be longer so that they are still worth reading for those who would prefer a fade to black. --- Cover art by Agri Karuniawan (@artofagri).

Sinner's Resolve: An Agent's Wish
A demon that had never batted an eye while mercilessly reaping the lives of many. A prodigy who accomplished the impossible. A hero that dutifully followed his orders. A messiah of the people. Many titles were given to him, whether it be in praise or in fear, but only one thing could be agreed upon by the people...All who he had ever crossed paths with had met an untimely death. He slowly rose to the top and earned himself the name of Black Death. A nameless person who was eventually awarded a cursed and bloodied name... Must this continue?...... He stared at his hands before turning his gaze towards his next three targets. Their photographs were neatly aligned along his makeshift table, accompanying him inside of a dimly lit room. Each one of them had earned their seat as the best special agents within their respective organizations. There must be a way...There has to be a way... Shaking away his thoughts, he quietly pocketed away the photos before exiting the room. A chance meeting that would forever change his cruel fate, and a wish that would transcend worlds. This is the story of a man who had nothing yet lost everything but a single wish, a silver lining that would completely change his life. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author's Notes - Hello everyone! This is my first work and I will hopefully stay around for a while. I will try to finish or at least expand on this piece of work for quite some time, expect a few hiatuses in between though, still have a bit of schooling to do. Expected release dates will probably be once a week(not sure yet) after I stabilized the novel a bit as I'm still debating on how I should handle this. I prefer fleshed-out works compared to quick releases, but it also depends on how I'm feeling. I don't have a lot of confidence in my writing skills and I believe that my writing style is a bit weird, but I do want to try my best to tell a story that's worth telling. I will gladly accept criticism but please try to pull the punches back a bit! I'm still only human after all. Very excited to work on this, please take good care of me as I proceed on this journey with all of you! P.S. If you're going into my series, expect to see cliches sprinkled here and there. I personally love cliches and a few tropes! But, that goes without saying, I want to put my own spin on them. Be ready to feel the edge!!! Heh.
