Jiangnan City; Jiangnan Hospital – Interns' dormitory. Midnight.
A young man suddenly sat up from a sound sleep and looked around.
"Am I... on Earth? Wasn't I taking a Heavenly Test? Why am I here? Could it be that I came back?"
The man was named Tang Long, also known as Emperor Green Wood, one of the five emperors in the Divine World. He died of being struck by Thunder of Nine Heavens when taking the Heavenly test, and nothing of him was left.
To his surprise, he was reborn on Earth.
Before he was brought to the Divine World by Yimu Zhenren for the nature of his body was wood , he was an unsuccessful worker on the earth.
During the last five hundred years, he had managed to become one of the five emperors in the Divine World. Despite this, he’d still missed Earth and wanted to come back, but he couldn’t find a way.
Tang Long closed his eyes, and, a moment later, he understood what had happened.
Under the strikes of the Thunder of Nine Heavens, a part of his spirit had broken through the void and made it to the Earth, where it merged into this body. However, as Emperor Green Wood, his spirit was so strong that, even broken part, it was a hundred times more powerful than that of a human being, and his spirit had merged with this new body, taking complete control. After a moment of quiet concentration, he found he also had all the body’s memories.
Tang Long could not help but sigh over this twist of fate. The odds of his survival had been low, but he’d come out alive. What happened had happened, and he could only send a silent apology to the original owner of this flesh and move forward with his life.
The previous occupant was Qin Haodong, an orphan adopted by a traditional Chinese doctor who was a senior student of the Jiangnan University School of Medicine and worked as an intern in the hospital.
Being brought up by a traditional Chinese doctor, his biggest wishes were to find his biological parents and carry traditional Chinese medicine forward.
"Carry traditional Chinese medicine forward? Easy!"
Tang Long was the Divine World’s best expert of medicine, and the Eternal-Life-Obtaining Green Wood he practiced had been enhanced during his curing people. However, finding Qin Haodong's biological parents would be a long course, which would totally rely on an opportunity.
From this moment on, the Emperor Green Wood, Tang Long, would start a new life as Qin Haodong.
Tang Long's spirit had traveled here through the void, so, he had no idea which year it was now. He picked up the cell phone on his bed and checked the time. It showed July 2nd, 74 Huaxia Calendar.
When he was brought to the Divine World by Yimu Zhenren, it was January 1st, 70 Huaxia Calendar – barely five years ago.
Since he had lost all his divinity and treasures, he had to start from zero and take his time to practice.
Qin Haodong sat down on his bed with his legs crossed, starting to practice Eternal-Life-Obtaining Green Wood. After a long while, he let out a mouthful of turbid air, and his eyes sparkled.
He thought, "There is too little Spiritual Qi on Earth. Based on my current spirit, I could only elevate to the middle stage of the Qi-refining Realm and barely finish establishing my foundation."
Qin Haodong shook his head. He had no other choice but to be patient.
His phone rang. He checked the call and saw it was the chief doctor, Ma Guoqiang.
Ma Guoqiang was notorious in the hospital for his greed and lechery. Yesterday, he tried to make a pass at a female intern and was interrupted by Qin Haodong. He knew there was nothing good about this call.
Despite this, Qin Haodong answered the phone. Ma Guoqiang's hoarse voice immediately came to him. "Little Qin, the Emergency Department is short-handed tonight. We need you to work overtime."
Qin Haodong replied, "Doctor Ma, I just have worked for two days. It's time for me to have a rest."
"As a young man, it's no big deal for you to have more work. You have to deserve the internship we offer to you. I'll give you good remarks on your report," Ma Guoqiang said, then hung up.
Qin Haodong knew the man was trying to make trouble for him, especially by mentioning his report. He couldn’t afford to disobey Ma Guoqiang on his first day in this body. He got up, changed his clothes, and went to the emergency room.
After hanging up the phone, a grim smile appeared on Ma Guoqiang fat face. He’d had his eye on that female intern for some time, and it had been really hard for him to find the right moment to make a move.
He had to take the chance to teach this reckless intern a lesson about who he should avoid pissing off in Jiangnan Hospital.
Qin Haodong was busy as soon as he arrived in the Emergency Department, which always had the most patients in the hospital. Ma Guoqiang made things even more difficult for him on purpose by leaving everything to him; he even had to do a nurse's work.
Seeing that Qin Haodong was up to his ears in work, Ma Guoqiang, he walked to Qin Haodong, and said with a malicious smile, "Never forget that you're an intern here. You're not experienced and don't have good skills, so it's fair for you to do the menial tasks."
Qin Haodong glanced at him indifferently. In fact, these tasks were nothing difficult for him, and he just treated them as practice.
"So, Doctor Ma, your skills are pretty good, right?"
"Of course! I became a chief doctor when I was barely forty, and I'm highly respected in this hospital. Even our director thinks highly of me. What did I rely on to earn all those? My good skills."
On hearing those words, the nurse standing beside Ma Guoqiang stifled a laugh because everyone in the hospital knew that Ma Guoqiang was better at flattering people than healing them. He had only become a chief doctor because of his teacher, Zhang Tianhe.
Zhang Tianhe was a leading medical expert in Jiangnan City, highly skilled and well-connected. Even the director of the Jiangnan Hospital, Wen Changjiang, had to show due respect for him.
"Open your eyes, boy. You must know whom you can never offend in this hospital – don't displease them. If you keep me happy, I'll guide you with my skills."
Just as Ma Guoqiang was making his speech, a middle-aged couple walked in. The woman was hunchbacked with her hands covered on her belly. She looked pale and had an expression of pain on her face. Her steps were halting and unsteady as her husband helped her forward.
"Doctor, help! My wife has a bad stomachache," the middle-aged man said anxiously.
"Don't worry. With me here, she'll be fine," Ma Guoqiang answered confidently, looking like an illustrious doctor. "When did it start?"
The man answered, "Not long ago. Her stomach suddenly started aching when we were eating."
Ma Guoqiang asked them some more questions and wrote down a prescription while ordering the nurse, "She has acute gastroenteritis, prepare to get her an infusion."
"Doctor, please hurry! My wife is dying of pain!"
"Take this to get your medicine. Gastroenteritis can be easily cured. She'll feel better after getting an infusion."
Ma Guoqiang handed the prescription to the man as he talked. They were about to leave when Qin Haodong said, "Wait!"
"Doctor, is there anything else?" the man asked in astonishment.
"Stay here, your wife doesn't have gastroenteritis."
Everyone changed their expression after hearing Qin Haodong's words. Ma Guoqiang's face darkened visibly.
"Qin Haodong, do you have any idea what you are talking about?"
"Of course!" Qin Haodong smirked and continued, "I'm saying that the highly respected Doctor Ma of the Jiangnan Hospital, to whom even the director has to show due respect, misdiagnosed. Your patient is not suffering gastroenteritis."
"Misdiagnosed? Bullshit!” Ma Guoqiang shouted. “The symptoms show that she has acute gastroenteritis. How could I misdiagnose it?"
Qin Haodong continued, "Your wife is having a heart attack, not gastroenteritis."
Qin Haodong, don't forget that you're just an intern." Ma Guoqiang then turned to the man. "Don't believe what he said. He is an intern and hasn't obtained a medical qualification yet. I'm a chief doctor of this hospital, and your wife has acute gastroenteritis."
As he spoke, the woman fell to the ground, her face looking even paler. She started twitching slightly and was foaming at the mouth.
Ma Guoqiang was wordless. He could tell that the woman was, indeed, having a heart attack.
Her husband, panic-stricken, looked at Ma Guoqiang with a worried expression. "Doctor, what should I do?"
Ma Guoqiang was in a panic as well. If the woman died of a heart attack because of his misdiagnosis, he would be responsible for it.
"She is having a heart attack. Transfer her to cardiology!"
"It's too late."
Qin Haodong took out a bag from his pocket as he spoke, revealing hundreds of silver needles. With lighting speed, he inserted a dozen needles into the acupoint on the woman's chest. He always carried silver needles with him.
"Qin Haodong, what are you doing?" Ma Guoqiang asked and was about to stop him. Then he saw that the woman's symptoms were relieved after getting Qin Haodong's treatment. Her face was a little red, but her breathing was steadying.
"This ... "
Ma Guoqiang, the middle-aged man and the two nurses were dumbfounded to see this. None of them had thought that the young Qin Haodong had such an amazing medical skill.
Though the woman's heart attack was sudden, it was not serious. She was in normal physical condition again after Qin Haodong helped open her blood vessels.
Putting back the needles, Qin Haodong took the prescription from the husband and wrote down another prescription. "Your wife's heart attack may cause some future issues. These medications should prevent anything else from happening. Make sure she takes them for the next two weeks."
After looking at his wife, who looked normal again, the husband said, "Thanks, Doctor Qin. Thank you for saving my wife's life.""You're welcome. It's what a doctor should do," Qin Haodong said."Doctor Qin, there is one thing I don’t understand. I was having a stomachache, but why did I have a heart attack?" the woman asked.What she asked confused Ma Guoqiang as well. He was wondering how this woman had a heart attack with the symptom of a stomachache.Qin Haodong answered, "Our hearts are connected with our small intestines. Isn't this simple knowledge that every doctor should know?""You're great, Doctor Qin. So young and so skilled!" The husband turned to look at Ma Guoqiang. "Not like someone else who claimed to be a chief doctor. Bullshit! Let me say it, he is just a quack."The man and the woman thanked Qin Haodong again before leaving the emergency room together.When they left, the r
"His name is Qin Haodong. He is just an intern here," said Ma Guoqiang in embarrassment."What? An intern dares to operate on our president? Open the door now! Tell him to stop!" An Biru shouted."This kind of door is locked from the inside. I am going to find the director now!"Ma Guoqiang ran out of the Emergency Department. Director Wen Changjiang was on duty tonight, so Ma Guoqiang rushed to report it to him in order to completely remove any responsibility."You... If anything happens to our president, I will tear down your hospital... "Seeing Ma Guoqiang's fading figure, An Biru stamped with rage but was unable to do anything else."Mommy... mommy... " Tang tang cried. An Biru held her close, waiting for the emergency room to be opened.In the emergency room, Qin Haodong began work on Lin Momo. He took out his needle bag and gently shook some needles into his hands.With a d
"The injury is very serious," Ma Guoqiang said, taking out the text results from his pocket and sending them to Zhang Tianhe.Zhang Tianhe took the results and watched as he walked. The more he watched, the graver his face became. He didn't expect Lin Momo to be so badly hurt, and even if he took over the case, the odds of success would be very low.However, just now he had boasted and accepted the house. If he admitted the chance of failure now, he would be disgraced.Between words, they came to the emergency room, only to find the doors open. Qin Haodong was teasing a little girl at the door, and he looked very leisurely and relaxed.With sunken face, Wen Changjiang looked at Ma Guoqiang.Ma Guoqiang wondered how the operating room was already open. He rushed in and shouted, "Qin Haodong, you are an intern! Who gave you the right to operate on patients? My teacher could have saved Miss Lin without your meddling. Now
"Qin, go back to check Miss Lin's condition. Hurry, or it will be too late!" Ma Guoqiang said. His future and life were at stake, so he had to hurry."What are you saying?" asked Qin Haodong."Miss Lin is not well; she is in danger! Help her, please!""How? What did you do?" Qin Haodong asked coldly. He knew very well about Lin Momo's situation. As long as the needle was in her body, she would be fine."Don't blame me! Zhang Tianhe asked me to pull the needle –""Bastard!" Before Ma Guoqiang could finish his words, Qin Haodong landed a mighty kick on his belly and sent him flying. Ma Guoqiang was kicked away like a ball, landing in a flower bed about eight meters away."The big idiot was flying. Playing football is really fun!" Tang Tang clapped her hands excitedly.Knowing that Lin Momo was in danger, Qin Haodong immediately gave Tang Tang to An Biru and rushed to the emergency room, leaving
The VIP room was well equipped. Qin Haodong fetched a pot of hot water."Mr. Qin, Let me help," said An Biru."No, you don't know where her injuries are. You would easily touch them," he said and began cleaning off the blood stain on Lin Momo's body with a towel.An Biru did not say anything more but stared at the young man in front of her. His moves were so gentle and his expressions were serious as if he was wiping a precious treasure. An Biru wondered how a young man, barely in his twenties, could be so mature.Qin Haodong eventually wiped off all the blood, revealing a stunning face.Although he had seen many saints and magical princesses, and the few women in the Cultivation World were all exceptionally beautiful, he was still amazed by Lin Momo's beauty. He realized that, at the first sight of Tang Tang, Qin Haodong had regarded Lin Momo as his woman."Why isn’t Tang Tang's father here?" he asked.
Lin Momo got out of bed and stretched out her stiff limbs. She felt her body had recovered to the same level as before the injury. Qin Haodong was right – she was well enough to leave the hospital. She asked An Biru to sign the discharge papers.As they got to the gate of the hospital, they saw several limos parked in front of the gate. At the sight of Lin Momo, Zhang Debiao came up to her with a dozen bodyguards. After the incident yesterday, Lin Zhiyuan sent bodyguards to strengthen protection for his daughter.To Qin Haodong's disappointment, he saw only the bodyguards and no sign of Tang Tang. Luckily, he’d just laid some groundwork. In the name of going to Lin Momo's house for treatment, he got into the car with Lin Momo.At the gate of the Lins' villa, An Biru went back to work, and Qin Haodong followed Lin Momo into the house. As soon as they entered, they saw a mess. Lin Zhiyuan was holding Tang Tang in his arms and rushing to the door
"You... what... what are you talking about?" Gao Yan took two involuntary steps back."I said it's smelly. You know what I mean!"Neither Lin Zhiyuan nor Lin Momo understood what Qin Haodong meant.But Tang Tang hopped and cried, "I know! I know! Aunt Gao's breath really sticks. Once she did not wear a mask, and her breath smelled like fart and made me lose my appetite!"The others then realized that Qin Haodong meant that Gao Yan had halitosis and wasn’t referring to her offensive words. They had thought Gao Yan wore a big mask because of a doctor's natural obsession with cleanliness, but now they knew that she was covering up her bad breath.Although she took no offense to Tang Tang's words, Gao Yan was so ashamed that she wished she had disappeared.She didn't have bad breath as a child but somehow developed it in high school. In order to cure this unspeakable disease, she’d chosen to become a doctor. S
"Doctor Qin, what are you going to cook?" asked Zhang Dafu enthusiastically as they got to the kitchen."Tang Tang has just recovered from her illness, so she'd better have a light meal. I'll just make her some porridge," Qin Haodong replied. "Do we have the ingredients for eight-treasure rice porridge?""Yes, but it's raw and hasn't been soaked. Porridge takes time to prepare.""Never mind, just give me the ingredients!" Qin Haodong insisted.Zhang Dafu silently despised Qin Haodong. It was pretty common knowledge that the ingredients for eight-treasure rice porridge needed to be soaked for no fewer than four hours prior to cooking. He was wasting his ingredients on a complete layman!But Mr. Lin had given orders to let Qin Haodong do what he wanted, so he gathered a small bowl of the ingredients and handed them over. After all, he wouldn’t be the one losing face.Qin Haodong took a look at the bowl and s
