Chapter 216 Transmigration Trigger Words
Yang Dali recalled, saying that Xiao Li had asked him a strange question.
"Director Yang, if you were to transmigrate to ancient times, with your surgical skills, by how many percentage points could you reduce the mortality rate of soldiers on ancient battlefields?"
Shen Yulou was speechless.
Such familiar words!
Xiao Li had asked him that question before, and as a result, that very night, while he was galloping on the battlefield, he transmigrated.
Damn it!
Xiao Li?
Shen Yulou's pupils suddenly constricted, and his mind buzzed.
He remembered.
On the day of the transmigration, he had just finished a difficult surgery and was sprawled in his office, exhausted like a dog.
Xiao Li brought him a cup of coffee, looking at him with adoration.
Then, he asked that question.
At the time, Shen Yulou thought the kid had read too many transmigration novels and was just joking.
How did he reply then?
He couldn't quite remember; he'd have to check the first chapter later.
As a result, that night, while he was having fun with a certain beautiful Madam, everything went black, and he really did transmigrate.
Could it be... this matter really has something to do with Xiao Li?!
"How do you know there are other transmigrators?"
Shen Yulou suppressed the tumultuous waves in his heart, his eyes becoming sharp again, staring intently at Yang Dali.
Yang Dali stammered, "I..."
"Don't you dare tell me you don't know."
"If you didn't know, why go to all this trouble to create that couplet, playing at fishing?"
Yang Dali was now like meat on a chopping block, not daring to hide anything, and spilled everything like beans from a bamboo tube.
"It's... it's the Princess of Yan State!"
Yang Dali said with a long face, his voice trembling.
"Some time ago, a group of people passed through here, saying they were escorting the Princess of Yan State back to her country.
The Princess also had a newborn baby and rested in the county for a day."
"I... I was curious at the time, so I secretly went to take a look.
And then I accidentally overheard the Princess chatting with someone beside her, talking about a cesarean section, and also about suturing, disinfection... When I heard that, my head exploded!"
Yang Dali said excitedly.
"I heard some surgical details; they were too professional!
It must have been done by a modern doctor!
At that moment, I realized that in this world, I wasn't the only transmigrator!
So... so I came up with this idea, asking the county magistrate to post a reward, hoping to fish out a fellow countryman..."
He said this, then glanced at Shen Yulou, his expression uglier than if he had eaten shit.
"I... how could I have imagined that the fish I caught would be you, Professor Shen..."
"Heh heh."
Shen Yulou sneered, his laughter devoid of any warmth.
"I know why you hate me."
He took a step forward, looking down at Yang Dali kneeling on the ground, and said word by word.
"Because your wife slept with me, right?"
"No, it's your ex-wife."
"I know you hate me very much, but don't hate me yet."
"I am a person who acts with principles."
Shen Yulou cracked his knuckles, saying slowly.
"First, she actively seduced me.
Second, I only checked into a room with her after you two got divorced.
Third, she really did actively seduce me!
I was also trying to fulfill the wishes of fallen women to re-enter employment; it was a charitable act.
You can't blame me for this."
Yang Dali's face turned liver-colored; he wanted to refute but didn't know where to start.
Finally, he deflated like a punctured ball, collapsed on the ground, and began to cry, snot and tears streaming down his face.
"My great Professor Shen!
What's the use of saying all this now!
Whether I blame you or not is no longer important!
What's important is, I want to go home! I miss my mom!
I want to eat hotpot! I want to play Honor of Kings!"
He suddenly crawled over, hugging Shen Yulou's leg, getting snot and tears all over him.
"Professor Shen, we must have transmigrated together, so we can definitely go back together!
This matter is absolutely related to that kid Xiao Li!
We have to find a way to go back!"
Go back?
Shen Yulou, hearing this, shook his head.
He sneered inwardly.
Go back for what?
Go back to being that forty-something, slightly breathless from walking too much, greasy middle-aged man whose hairline was higher than his career line?
What an international joke!
Although he was doing well in modern times, how could it compare to ancient times?
Here, he was just in his early twenties, in the prime of his life, strong as an ox, and everything tasted delicious.
Things like'second bloom' and 'hat-trick' were effortless.
Before, where would he have had this stamina?
A county princess on his left, a Princess on his right, and he could still embrace an Empress and a Noble Consort.
Money, power, beautiful women—he had everything he wanted.
This was the life of an immortal.
Although there was no technology, how could technology be as satisfying as this life?
Most importantly.
These twenty-plus years of youth, no amount of money could buy!
Go back?
Only someone whose brain was squeezed by a door would want to go back!
Seeing Shen Yulou shake his head, the color drained from Yang Dali's face instantly.
He knew Shen Yulou's character better than anyone.
This Professor Shen was notoriously ruthless even when he was at the hospital.
Now it wasn't a harmonious society anymore, and Shen Yulou had power and martial arts; there was truly no way to resist.
One mountain cannot hold two tigers; now that he was Shen Yulou's prisoner, his fate... he dared not imagine.
"Don't... don't kill me!"
Yang Dali started kowtowing, his forehead bleeding.
"Professor Shen! Brother Shen! Master Shen! Keep me, I'm still useful!
I promise to serve you like an ox or a horse, with no disloyalty whatsoever!
Really!
You know my surgical skills; if anyone has an accident in the future, I can help save lives!
I'll be your assistant! Who can cooperate with you better than me?"
Shen Yulou narrowed his eyes, saying nothing.
Keeping someone like Yang Dali was indeed useful; having a top surgeon by his side was like having an advanced assistant.
Moreover, this guy and he were both transmigrators, and there was a lot he could do.
But this guy wanted to kill him today, and tomorrow he might stab him in the back, so he had to be controlled tightly.
He turned his head to look at Madam Li, who was standing guard at the entrance of the imperial prison.
"Sister-in-law."
Shen Yulou called out, and Sister-in-law walked in.
She knew Shen Yulou had some things he didn't want her to know, and Madam Li wasn't interested either, so she didn't eavesdrop.
She only needed to ensure Shen Yulou's safety.
Shen Yulou asked.
"In the martial arts world, is there a poison... that once consumed, requires an antidote at regular intervals, otherwise one will bleed from all seven orifices and die with ruptured intestines?"
Madam Li's cold eyes swept over Yang Dali on the ground, then she nodded, her tone flat.
"Yes."
She paused, a hint of a playful smile on her lips, and added another sentence.
"Not only that, but it can also ensure he can never be a man again."
"Holy crap!?"
Chemical castration?
Shen Yulou, upon hearing this, excitedly slapped his thigh, his eyes lighting up.
"There's such a good thing? Sister-in-law, buy more; I'll keep it for future use.
