After the Cao family's army escorted the two to Tiandang Mountain, they returned. They stayed behind to protect the Cao family and the Silver Dimension, so they needed to return to the Eastern Han Academy as soon as possible, leaving only Sun Shangxiang and Xiu at Tiandang Mountain.

When the two of them found the divine doctor, he happened to be planning to leave and travel the world, so they couldn't leave for the time being.

The two explained their purpose, but the miracle doctor insisted on his principle of one-for-one exchange.

"You, come here," the divine physician said, pointing at Sun Shangxiang. "You'll do."

"What? What do you mean?" Xiu looked completely bewildered.

Why do they all look so serious? What are they doing?

“Okay,” Sun Shangxiang agreed with a heavy expression, then turned and gave Xiu a deep look.

Ignoring his worried expression, he reached out and used his internal force to slap himself.

Xiu was shocked. He teleported and grabbed her wrist. A mouthful of blood gushed out, and she swayed precariously.

"Repair!" Sun Shangxiang shouted anxiously, quickly catching the person who was falling.

"No, I don't agree to you hurting yourself," Xiu said with difficulty. "You are my mission, and I must protect you."

"Xiu, you're too impulsive!" Sun Shangxiang's eyes were red, and she was at a loss, so she could only hug Xiu tightly.

Xiu, having forced himself to exert his internal energy, could not sustain it and fainted.

Sun Shangxiang looked anxiously at the divine physician and pleaded, "Divine physician, please save him first, okay? I will take his place. I will immediately inflict serious injuries on myself."

"What the hell did you say???" The doctor's expressionless face was suddenly filled with question marks.

Sun Shangxiang was also somewhat puzzled, "Didn't you say it was one for one? He has internal injuries, so you don't want me to..." injure myself?

"What I mean is that I need you to do physical labor, like chopping wood, carrying water, moving household items, and all sorts of physical labor!" The divine doctor looked up at the sky speechlessly.

Why would she encounter such a strange person? Why does the image of Xia Xiang still keep popping into her mind?

Sun Shangxiang was completely stunned. This was too much... She wished she could find a place to crawl into on the spot, or fly out into outer space immediately.

But not now, Xiu is still unconscious.

"Master, everything is ready," Hua Tuo said as he entered.

"You two carry this half-dead man to the examination room," the doctor glanced at Xiu on the ground, and then walked away.

...

Sun Shangxiang was not a delicate young lady who couldn't lift heavy loads, but she certainly had never done these kinds of rough work before.

"I'll help," Xiu said, his face pale, reaching for the axe in Sun Shangxiang's hand.

"Have you ever chopped firewood?" Sun Shangxiang asked in confusion.

Xiu honestly replied, "No."

He originally thought that the Silver Dimension was just slow in its social progress, after all, their weapons were very high-tech and their communication tools even had holographic imaging. Who knew that there was no water, electricity and gas here.

"Rest now and recover quickly." Sun Shangxiang forcefully chopped the log in front of her in two.

Xiu still wanted to help, so he picked up the fallen wood and put it back in its place.

"This is the miracle doctor's request. If you help him, it will be us breaking our promise."

"I just..." Xiu hesitated before speaking.

"Good boy, it's time for your medicine." Sun Shangxiang neatly chopped the remaining firewood, led the people to the room where the medicine was being prepared, and poured him a bowl of dark medicine.

Xiu reached out and took it, his face showing bitterness.

It's so tough, even tougher than the training I did when I was a kid.

Sun Shangxiang found his appearance somewhat amusing. "Hua Tuo instructed you to eat candy before taking your medicine."

She placed a plate of candy in front of him and looked at him expectantly.

He was still bedridden before, so Hua Tuo was in charge of everything. But today, Hua Tuo and the legendary doctor went down the mountain to provide free medical consultations, so it's just the two of them here.

She just wanted to know what it was like for him, who seemed so cold on the outside, to take medicine and eat candy.

"No way! I don't need it!" Xiu took the bowl from her hand with a defiant look and drank it down in one gulp.

The bitterness exploded on the tip of my tongue, like fine needles penetrating my tongue. I lost all sensation in my mouth except for the bitterness, and my eyes instantly filled with tears.

Xiu quickly turned away, hiding the tears welling in his eyes, and staggered out the door, saying, "I'm going to rest now."

He left without looking back after saying that.

Sun Shangxiang was stunned by his performance, then picked up the plate and chased after him.
