The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine

Chapter 347: Chapter 347: My Gift is a Priceless Treasure! (Fifth Update)
It’s quite natural for Chen Zihuan to become hostile towards Huang Xiaolong!

At this birthday banquet, Chen Zihuan had no regard for others single men. He didn’t think these worthless fellows could become his rivals in love. They were nothing compared to him!

However, with Shu Qinghan showing distinct feelings for Huang Xiaolong, the situation seemed to deviate a bit from the norm.

Regarding Shu Qinghan, Chen Zihuan considered her as a must-win, as he carried the mission of his family.

What about from Chen Zihuan’s personal point of view?

He also had to win Shu Qinghan.

1, In general, marriages among business families are purely pragmatic, and appearances are not that important. Ahem… Family interests come first. For instance, Chen Zihuan’s own brother married a woman who is short, fat and not so attractive. For a man, it’s challenging to find a woman he genuinely loves in an arranged marriage. It’s fortunate if he doesn’t end up with an unattractive woman! And Shu Qinghan, well, Chen Zihuan really liked her appearance; he could even say it was love at first sight. Oh, how beautiful she was! A real-life doll, just like a princess! Beautiful! To encounter such a charming woman in an arranged marriage, it’s a rare blessing indeed.

2, In Jiangnan City, Chen Zihuan was a well-known playboy who had been with countless women. He had the knowledge to discern a woman’s worth. He was almost certain, that the beautiful Shu Qinghan was still a virgin! My god! In the rapidly changing society, such a beautiful girl, still a virgin; this was rarer than diamonds!

Hence, Chen Zihuan swore to himself that he’d capture Shu Qinghan at all costs. If any obstacles appeared, he’d remove them, and if a rival appeared, he’d——send them to their doom!

“Mr. Huang…” Father Shu’s attitude towards Huang Xiaolong was relatively warm, “Last time, we really appreciate your help treating Qinghan’s peculiar illness… You returned her innocence.”

Mother Shu also gave a mild smile. “Mr. Huang is Qinghan’s great benefactor.”

“Ah… It was nothing,” carelessly said Huang Xiaolong. “Shall we go back to the main event? I’d liked to present my birthday gifts to Qinghan and Qinglan first.”

This statement surprised everyone present.

Qinglan?

The expressions of Father and Mother Shu changed slightly.

Shu Qinghan looked teary-eyed. “Little Long… you… you mean… you… you want to give a gift to… to my sister?”

Regarding Shu Qinglan herself, she was even more overwhelmed with emotions!

In the Shu family, she was often the one who got overlooked and was considered the ugly duckling. Although today was also her birthday, nobody wished her or gave her any gifts.

Now, Huang Xiaolong was stepping up to the plate…

“Yeah, isn’t it also Qinglan’s birthday today? Therefore, I’ve prepared a birthday gift for her as well.” said Huang Xiaolong with a smile.

“Mr. Huang! You… you… you are too thoughtful!” Mother Shu’s eyes started to well up.

Shu Qinglan tried to hold back her tears, repeatedly urging herself not to cry out aloud. But tears kept falling down like broken pearls.

“Little Long you’re too nice! You’re too nice! You’re really too nice!” Shu Qinghan also started crying. “You giving my sister a gift is even more… more delightful than giving one to me! You’re really too nice!”

“Humph!” Chen Zihuan’s gentlemanly demeanour entirely disappeared, and in its place, a look of resentment and hatred. As the dignified young master of Jiangnan City, even though he was a schemer, he would never reveal his tricks in front of a poor-dressed young man like Huang Xiaolong. He sneered instead. “Hahahaha~~~Great game there, playing the family card so well. Good, good, so cunning and insidious.”

“Huh? I’m insidious? I’m playing the family card?” Huang Xiaolong looked at Chen Zihuan in surprise. “What do you mean?”

“Given the close relationship between Qinghan and her sister, you may not be able to gift anything too valuable. Therefore, strategically, you decided to gift something to Qinghan’s sister first. As a result, even if you give a gift ranging from hundreds to thousands, you’d gain the effect like it’s worth millions or even tens of millions…Your scheming is indeed unfathomable! Hahaha!” Chen Zihuan laughed mockingly.

Ironically, this comment was intentionally for Father and Mother Shu to hear.

As expected, after hearing Chen Zihuan’s words, Father and Mother Shu, who had been very moved initially, suddenly felt their moods sinking!

A thought crossed their minds – This Huang Xiaolong, was really crafty!

“Oh, I got it. But, the gift I’m giving to Qinglan isn’t simply worth a few hundred or thousand,” said Huang Xiaolong earnestly.

“Hehe~ So, it’s a gift worth thousands or tens of thousands, then. Anyway, you achieved your goal. Making a substantial gain.” Chen Zihuan spoke sarcastically.

Huang Xiaolong shook his head repeatedly, “No, no, the gift I’m giving to Qinglan is worth much more than the store you gave to Qinghan.”

“Hmm?” Chen Zihuan’s eye twitched uncontrollably a few times, “Do you know the value of the shop? The current market price for it is at least 30 to 40 million…Are you saying that the gift you gave to Qinghan’s sister, Qinglan, is worth more than the shop? Sometimes, you can eat whatever you like, but you mustn’t just say whatever you want. Words have consequences!”

Could Huang Xiaolong, in this simple attire, casually give away a gift worth tens of millions for a birthday?

No one at the scene would probably believe it!

Huang Xiaolong gave Chen Zihuan a big smile, then ignored him, and turned to look at Shu Qinglan with a serious expression. “Qinglan, the gift I’ve given you is definitely more valuable than a shop. In fact, it’s a gift that can change your fate and your life.”

After saying this, Huang Xiaolong took out a wooden bottle from the canvas bag he was carrying.

It was a plain, handcrafted wooden bottle.

Huang Xiaolong uncorked the bottle and poured out a few black pills, the size of peas, “These pills were made by me, using precious herbs collected from the mountains behind my rural home. I’m the only one in the world who can make this pill. Its value is incalculable in terms of money. Since coming to the city, I’ve always carried this bottle with me, but I’ve never thought of selling it. Today is your birthday, Qinglan, so I’m giving you a few pills.”

Huang Xiaolong’s tone grew more serious and solemn.

All eyes were focused on the few black pills in Huang Xiaolong’s hand.

“This is an ancient pill. What does it do? In modern medical terms, it allows a person who has stopped growing to grow again. Not only will the person grow taller, but their entire body proportion will change accordingly, and the physique will become stronger too. After taking this pill, your body size will be very balanced, not awkward at all.” Huang Xiaolong began to explain in detail. “Taking the first pill will make you grow 10 centimeters taller within 3 hours. Taking the second pill will further increase your height by 8 centimeters within 2 hours. Taking the last pill will make you grow 6 centimeters taller in an hour. After that, taking more of these pills will no longer have any effect. Eating more is useless.”

“In other words, within 6 hours, taking 3 ancient pills can increase a person’s height by 24 centimeters. As the pills are made from rare herbs, they won’t have any side effects.” Huang Xiaolong turned to Shu Qinglan. “Qinglan, how tall are you now?”

Shu Qinglan was completely astounded. The wish she made while blowing out the candles just now was to grow taller and to no longer be a clownish dwarf!

However, she knew this was impossible because growth is a barrier that almost everyone in the world faces!

If one’s body hasn’t stopped growing, it is possible to gain a few centimeters in height with the help of hormones.

But Shu Qinglan had been checked and her body had stopped growing! Her growth hormones had stopped secreting ages ago!

However, for some reason, Huang Xiaolong had instilled in her a deep sense of trust, “Little Long… I… I’m only one metre forty-eight…”

At the sound of her words, many people couldn’t help but stifle their laughter.

Indeed, a twenty-year-old adult being one metre forty-eight tall was a bit… unusual.

“Oh…so taking one pill will make you one metre fifty-eight, two pills will make you one metre sixty-six, and three pills will make you one metre seventy-two…” Huang Xiaolong began to calculate seriously. “You can only eat three pills. How tall do you want to be?”

“I! I! I! If possible, I want to be one metre seventy-two!” Shu Qinglan clasped her hands together as if in prayer.

“Alright, I’ll give you three pills.” Huang Xiaolong walked towards Shu Qinglan with a smiling face.

“Impossible!” At this moment, Chen Zihuan erupted in anger. “Are you trying to fool us? Do you think we are a bunch of children? Three pills can make a person grow 24 centimeters taller in just a few hours! There is no scientific basis for such a thing. It’s complete nonsense! If these pills work as you described, they’re no mere earthbound medicine, they’re Immortal Pills! Only something like the Immortal Pills can transform a person so drastically! Do you think we are all fools?”

Not only Chen Zihuan, but everyone else also burst into laughter.

“Mr. Huang, please stop joking…” Father Shu shook his head. He had witnessed Huang Xiaolong’s various abilities and admitted that Huang Xiaolong was no ordinary person. Therefore, when Huang Xiaolong said that he was giving Qinglan a gift more valuable than the shop Chen Zihuan gave to Shu Qinghan, Father Shu still held a sliver of hope.

But this ancient pill?

Too absurd!

It was like a fairy tale!

“Mr. Huang, forgive my frankness, if you really could make such a medicine, you would be the richest man in Huaxia, no, the richest man in the world in a few years.” Father Shu also couldn’t help but speak sarcastically. “But this is impossible.”

“Hahaha~~~You all are like frogs at the bottom of a well. Whether it’s possible or not, why not give it a try?” Huang Xiaolong looked at Shu Qinglan. “Qinglan, do you trust me? If you trust me, try it. I can guarantee with my personal integrity that this pill is real.”

All eyes were on Shu Qinglan.
