About this time, the school's minibus returned after dropping off those girls at Xiao Yu’s clinic.

"Everyone get on the bus! Don't look back!"

Seeing the minivan arrive, Xiao Yu told the anxious parents who were standing in front of the zoo entrance.

Xiao Yu waited until all the girls' parents had boarded the minibus before getting on himself. Once everyone was aboard, the driver made a U-turn and headed back.

On the minibus, no one dared to look sideways as they gazed straight ahead. Only Xiao Yu glanced back and saw those animal ghosts trying to escape from the zoo but being held back by a barrier of black mist.

Since it was past midnight, even in this metropolis there were few vehicles on the roads. The minibus sped towards Xiao Yu’s clinic.

In front of Xiao Yu's clinic, several mothers hugged their daughters and sat on the steps, while Wang Fang and Xiaoxiao's boyfriends as well as two other male students stood on the flat ground below the stairs, looking around from time to time.

Shortly after, Xiao Yu returned in the minibus. He opened his clinic’s door and let the girls' parents carry them inside.

Because of limited space, Xiao Yu sent the teachers and students back to school first, leaving only the girls’ parents behind.

"They’re currently suffering from brain nerve exhaustion and need sleep to recover. Don’t disturb them; let them have a good rest here and they’ll be fine tomorrow."

Xiao Yu told their parents.

The reason why Xiao Yu had the girls stay overnight was that since these young women were recently possessed, their nervous systems were weak. If left alone outside, they could easily be taken over by some ghosts who couldn't enter the netherworld and Xiao Yu's place wasn’t somewhere any ghost or demon dared to barge into.

Letting them rest here overnight would enable them to fully recover mentally after getting enough sleep. Once their nerves were back in shape, it wouldn’t be easy for ghosts to possess them again.

"Yes, thank you very much, doctor!" The girls' parents hurriedly thanked Xiao Yu upon hearing his words.

"Um… um… Doctor, your fee…" One of the parents looked at Xiao Yu nervously and asked.

"Hehe, how about this! Each patient will pay three hundred!"

Since obtaining Zhong Kui's legacy, Xiao Yu was now officially charging for his consultations. Thinking of this made Xiao Yu chuckle silently; however, upon reflection, it was inevitable. In a few days, his clinic would be opening officially, and if he didn’t charge, the clinic wouldn't be able to sustain itself.

"Great, great, thank you doctor, thank you doctor!"

These parents were initially taken aback upon hearing Xiao Yu’s fee of three hundred yuan. But then their faces were filled with gratitude; for the past couple of days, they had spent thousands on fortune-tellers and mediums to no avail. Hearing that Xiao Yu only charged three hundred made them extremely grateful.

Xiao Yu waved dismissively at the families and walked over to his consultation table. He picked up a pen and wrote out a prescription. After letting it dry slightly, he brought the prescription to the medicine cabinet and began dispensing the medication.

In about ten minutes, Xiao Yu had prepared four doses of medication. Handing them to the parents of the students, he said, "These are supplements for nourishing spirits and replenishing qi. Tomorrow morning when they wake up, boil one dose and let them take it; as long as they don’t engage in these spirit-summoning games anymore, there won't be any major problems!"

The parents of the girls each handed over money to Xiao Yu, who collected and put away the payment. This was his first fee since starting Wan Sheng Tang.

Xiao Yu told these female students' parents they could rest anywhere in the room as long as they didn’t leave it. After giving them instructions, he went into a resting room to sit cross-legged and practice Zhengqi Decree. The righteous energy within him had already recovered slightly, so this was an ideal opportunity for further recovery.

Early next morning, Xiao Yu gradually opened his eyes while sitting in the lotus position. He exhaled deeply before standing up.

After washing up a little, he went to the outer room of the clinic where the mothers were hugging their daughters against the walls on the floor; fathers too had found corners by the wall to rest.

Xiao Yu didn’t disturb them and walked around to outside the clinic. Even though it was still early morning, the street was already bustling.

"Doctor! Doctor!" As Xiao Yu practiced Wuqin Xi outside the door, he heard someone shouting inside.

He turned to see that both the girls and their parents had woken up. They were standing by the window looking at him but hadn’t stepped out of the clinic yet.

Glancing eastward, Xiao Yu saw it was dawn breaking and went back into the room.

Inside the clinic, those few girls had already awakened. Each was covered in dirt, holding onto their mothers’ arms as they curiously looked at Xiao Yu—clearly, they’d heard about what happened last night from their parents.

Though dirty, their spirits seemed relatively robust, indicating that they had indeed recovered.

"They are fine now. Just boil and take the medicine I prescribed earlier today, then rest for another day to fully recover!"

Xiao Yu glanced at the girls before turning to their parents and advising them.

"Doctor, will there be any lingering effects" one of the girls' mothers asked Xiao Yu worriedly even though he had said her daughter was fine.

"Haha, no lingering effects. But do not play with Ouija boards or other spirit-related games!" Xiao Yu chuckled and replied.

After saying that, his gaze turned to the four girls, finally settling on the one named Xiaoxiao as he said sternly: "Especially you—be cautious. Some things are just too dangerous to play with. Alright, everyone, you can go now! Remember to take your medicine today!"

"Thank you... thank you doctor..."

The parents of the four girls thanked Xiao Yu profusely before leaving. Only Xiaoxiao pouted and glared at him, obviously upset about his earlier reprimand.

Xiao Yu ignored her glare; he had already made himself clear—should such an incident occur again, he wouldn't intervene a second time.

"Xiao Yu! Xiao Yu, come eat!"

Right after Xiao Yu dismissed everyone, Yunxi's voice rang out from the outside. When she entered and saw so many people in the room, her words died in her throat.

"Thank you doctor," they said before leaving to meet Yunxi’s call.

"What's wrong, Yunxi" Xiao Yu asked as he looked at her.

Seeing Yunxi, his heart suddenly warmed up. His eyes locked onto her delicate face, filled with admiration and affection.

Yunxi noticed the heat in his gaze and blushed slightly before saying hurriedly: "Auntie asked me to call you for breakfast!" She then rushed out without waiting for Xiao Yu's response.

Xiao Yu locked up the clinic and stepped outside, where his mother, sister, brother-in-law, and little nephew waited for him.

"Mom, where are we going Why not eat at home" Xiao Yu asked curiously when he saw them waiting outside.

"Haha, it's just breakfast, doesn't matter if we have it out," said Xia Jianying with a chuckle.

"Alright, let's eat out then. What would you like to have" Xiao Yu said nonchalantly in response to his mother.

"Why not There’s a vendor selling fried dough fritters and soy milk up ahead. Let’s go there!" Xiao Yuu pointed towards the nearby food stall where Xiao Yu often had breakfast.

No one from Xiao Yu's family objected, and they all headed toward the snack stand together. Today, the snack stand was unusually busy; when looked at from afar, it was already packed with people sitting closely together.

"Doctor, are you here to have breakfast too Please sit down quickly!" Just as Xiao Yu arrived at the food stall with his family, a voice rang out amidst the crowd.

Xiao Yu turned around and saw that it was one of the four families who had just left his clinic.

"Yeah, how come only your family is here Where are they" Xiao Yu asked casually when he noticed that there were only three people from their household sitting there.

"Their homes are either in the deep sea or near it. That's why they’ve all gone back home already. Our house is quite a distance away from the deep sea, so another trip wouldn’t be worthwhile!"

The parent explained to Xiao Yu.

“Thank you very much, Doctor!”

The girl stood up and bowed deeply to Xiao Yu.

"Yes, thank you very much, Doctor!"

The mother of the girl also stood up after seeing her daughter’s respectful gesture and bowed deeply as well.

“No need for that, Auntie. You don’t have to be so formal with me. I’m just a doctor who charges money for treating illnesses, and such an honor is too much for what I did!” Xiao Yu hurriedly stopped the mother from bowing even further.

"Hahaha, Doctor, we spent nearly 10,000 yuan in the past two days but couldn’t cure my daughter's illness. You only charged us 300 yuan and cured her. If you can't accept this respect, then I believe no other doctor could either!"

The mother of the girl was very stubborn; after saying a lot, she insisted on performing the deep bow.

Everyone at the snack stand, whether they were cooking or eating there, looked at this scene with astonishment.

Xiao Yu reluctantly accepted her gratitude and then sat down with his family to order some food while waiting for their meal. any longer. Xiao Yu quickly found a handkerchief and covered his mouth as he coughed.After finishing his coughing fit, Xiao Yu carefully opened the handkerchief, revealing a fresh red stain of blood...
