Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

As soon as he heard that bark shake the air, Li Yi knew immediately that it belonged to a Blacktooth Hound.

He had been a doctor for many years and had treated countless pet beasts, so he was very skilled in recognizing the species of a beast by its bark.

However, among the pet beasts that his hospital was currently accepting, there were no Blacktooth Hounds. It seemed that a guest had arrived.

Li Yi got up and prepared to receive the guest.

Garfield followed behind him, wanting to follow him out, but it was stopped by Li Yi.

“Garfield, you stay here and be good. I have to go to work!” Li Yi scolded in a low voice.

Garfield seemed to understand Li Yi’s words. He stayed there obediently and watched Li Yi leave the office with his round eyes.

Li Yi went to the entrance of the hospital and found a muscular man in a black tank top leading a big dog covered in black fur.

The dog in his hand was the Blacktooth Hound. As its name suggested, the dog’s teeth were sharp, slender and pitch black.

“Woof, Woof, Woof!”

The Blacktooth Hound cried out crazily. When it saw Li Yi, it lunged forward and almost broke free from the muscular man’s hand.

Li Yi looked at this fierce dog and couldn’t help but swallow his saliva. If he actually got into a fight with this dog, he might not come out of it alive.

“Are you here for me to see the pet? Please come in.”

However, the strong man showed a fierce expression and scolded, “My name is Zhang San. You are in big trouble today!”

Hearing the name Zhang San, Li Yi remembered instantly that this guy was a famous local bully. He was a kind of street thug.

Li Yi knew that he had never personally offended this guy, so there was only one possibility.

This Zhang San was very likely sent by another, unethical hospital to ruin his business.

Li Yi’s hospital received wide praise in the local area because of its high quality and low price, as well as his dedication to the patients.

Therefore, Li Yi robbed many unethical hospitals of their business, so they would send people to harass him from time to time.

Not only that, they would also send people to pour dirty water on Li Yi and spread rumors that Li Yi’s medical skills were not up to par.

However, these operations all turned out to have no effect. The eyes of the masses were sharp. There were still quite a number of customers who still came to Li Yi’s hospital.

“Zhang San, right? What have you got against me?” Knowing that this guy was a street slacker, Li Yi did not waste his time with niceties.

“The last time I came to your place to treat my dog, it went crazy after I went back! Since you’re the one who treated my dog, and now there’s a problem, you are going to explain yourself right now!”

Then, Zhang San started to shout loudly.

“Hey, all you passers-by, come and take a look. Look at how Li Yi treated my pet beast! From now on, don’t come to this hospital. It’s an unethical hospital!”

After a series of shouts, he attracted quite a crowd. It was human nature to like a good show. Naturally, this kind of situation was not uncommon.

The passers-by crowded around and took a few careful glances at the Blacktooth Hound. They could not help but nod their heads.

“Indeed, it’s lost it!”

“Li Yi’s medical skills are pretty good. What happened?”

“He actually did that to the dog? That’s really scary. No way I’m going to Yi’s Beast Hall ever again.”

“Don’t jump to conclusions. Let’s see what Dr. Li has to say.”

“I’m a regular customer of Dr. Li. I believe in him!”

Among the crowd, there were some who supported Li Yi, and some who swore that they would never come here again.

As the crowdof onlookers continued to grow, Zhang San couldn’t help but reveal a smug smile.

That smug look in his eyes seemed to tell Li Yi that he was going to screw him up!

Everyone’s eyes were on Li Yi, hoping to get a reply from him.

At that moment, Li Yi was carefully observing this crazy Blacktooth Hound, deep in thought.

When Zhang San saw this, he chuckled and said, “It seems that Dr. Li here has nothing to say. Now everyone understands that this guy is just a quack. In the future, if anyone brings their pet here again, then you’re an idiot!”

The surrounding crowd began to discuss in whispers. Some decided that they would never come again, while some still expressed their support for Li Yi.

But the people still had deep faith in Li Yi’s medical skills. Even if his name got mud dumped all over it, there would still be people willing to trust him.

At that moment, Li Yi’s eyes were staring at the Blacktooth Hound that had gone mad.

The dog barked as milky liquid flowed out of its mouth. Its pupils constricted, and the muscles all over its body became stiff and rigid. Occasionally, its entire body would even tremble.

These symptoms all indicated that there was no simple explanation for the Blacktooth Hound’s madness.

Based on his abundant medical experience, accumulated over many years, Li Yi had could already surmise the general situation.

The Blacktooth Hound’s madness status resulted from eating a certain plant.

This plant was the Belladonna Flower. This flower was slightly toxic, so it was not uncommon for beasts to eat it by mistake.

However, if too much of the toxin accumulated, it would cause the pet to enter a frenzied state.

The most important thing was that the Belladonna Flower’s toxin was metabolized by the beasts’ bodies very quickly.

In other words, if a Blacktooth Hound wanted to eat a flower and enter a state of madness, it would have to eat a ton over a short period of time.

That being the case, there was no way a dog could have gotten itself into a condition like this on its own. How could one dog eat so many Belladonna Flowers by mistake in such a short period of time?

As expected, this whole thing was set up just to slander him.

Li Yi planned to expose him, but after thinking for a while, he shook his head slightly.

Among the crowd, very few people knew about Belladonna Flowers, let alone their toxicity.

Therefore, if Li Yi tried to explain everything to the crowd, they probably wouldn’t understand a word of it.

Any longer and Zhang San would take the opportunity to show off and convince them all he was a quack.

“You quack! Say something, are you mute?”

Zhang San shouted loudly. His aura became even fiercer.

He figured that since Li Yi had been silent for a long time, he must be panicking and know he has no way out.

Then, Zhang San continued to shout, “If you want to prove that you are not a quack, you can do so now. Cure my Blacktooth Hound, and I might just believe that you aren’t a quack. How about it?”

Zhang San’s face was full of confidence. He knew that the Belladonna Flower’s poison was metabolized very slowly. At most, all Li Yi could do was use medicine to suppress its madness.

That’s why he thought that it would be impossible for Li Yi to cure his dog!

Li Yi, however, readily agreed, “No problem. I can cure your Blacktooth Hound in no time!”

Hearing this, Zhang San’s heart was about to burst with joy. He was not expecting Li Yi to take the bait. If he failed to cure the dog in front of all these people, his reputation would be completely ruined!

Zhang San laughed out loud. “Alright, Alright. Now make good on your words. Hurry up and make your move! Let us see what you are made of!”

Suddenly, the Blacktooth Hound’s maddened state deepened and it charged in Li Yi’s direction.

Zhang San hurriedly tightened the rope, but it could not stop the dog from charging.

The crowd was shocked and quickly coiled back.

This crazy black dog was too scary. Li Yi did not want to be bitten by it.

Then, Li Yi made his move. He grabbed at the status entry floating over the black dog’s head.
