Chapter 8: A Radical Cure Is Needed

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

In order to get to the bottom of this Fire Sparrow’s illness, Li Yi needed to ask a few questions.

“Yun, let me ask you a few questions. I need your cooperation.”

When Bai Youyun heard this, she nodded repeatedly and said, “No problem. Ask away!”

Li Yi then asked, “First of all, do you train with it often?”

“Of course, I spend almost the whole day training with it!”

Bai Youyun said with some pride. She had been working hard all this time, training non-stop every day.

Li Yi then asked, “Where do you usually take the Fire Sparrow?”

Hearing this question, Lin Ya frowned slightly. She felt that Lu Yu’s question was a little off. He was clearly just trying to get a feel for when and where to hit on her!

Bai Youyun thought for a moment and said, “When it isn’t in the cage, I usually bring it to a special training ground. Now that I think about it, I’m not a person who likes to run around a lot, so there aren’t many other places.”

Li Yi nodded slightly and continued to ask, “Which pet shop do you often go to to buy things for the Fire Sparrow?”

Bai Youyun thought for a moment, then explained, “The things that my Fire Sparrow uses are all custom-made, including this cage. So I don’t usually go to any pet shops.”

“Oh right, if I’m not mistaken, your family is the largest Bai family in Jianghai City, right?”

Bai Youyun nodded, “Yes, our family is involved in the jewelry business. Although we are involved in other fields, it’s mostly in the jewelry industry.”

Li Yi was a little surprised. He had a big customer today!

“No wonder you are dressed so beautifully…”

“By the way, what does your daily routine look like? Hectic?”

Bai Youyun continued, “It’s not too hectic. I sleep at twelve and wake up at six!”

Li Yi was a little surprised. “You’re up so early?”

Bai Youyun smiled shyly. “It’s mainly for training…”

Li Yi was speechless. She only slept six hours a day, and started training as soon as she woke up?

Needless to say, that Fire Sparrow’s routine was probably the same as hers.

Suddenly, Li Yi could understand why the Fire Sparrow had anorexia.

“Tell me about your meals and what you like to eat.”

Bai Youyun tilted her head slightly and began to think.

“I like to eat…”

She talked about her favorite foods non-stop. Many of the dishes Li Yi had never heard of.

“Although I eat very well, but so does my Fire Sparrow. I spend over a thousand yuan on food for it per day!”

Bai Youyun said proudly.

Li Yi nodded and was about to ask another question.

But at that moment, Lin Ya, who was standing next to Bai Youyun, took a step forward with an unhappy expression.

“Do you know how to treat it or not?”

Lin Ya’s question made Li Yi puzzled. “What do you mean?”

“If you’re gonna treat it, then treat it properly. Why do you keep asking about my Youyun’s private life?”

“You’re up to something, aren’t you. Asking Youyun about her preferences…Are you thinking of ways to hit on her?”

“Listen here, mister, you’re dreaming! She already has me. A boyfriend is out of the question!”

Lin Ya’s aggressive confused Li Yi. He pointed at the two of them. “Wait, you two…”

Bai Youyun quickly explained, “It…it’s not like that! We’re just good friends. She’s just looking out for me…”

Lin Ya crossed her arms in front of her chest, still acting aggressive.

Although Bai Youyun clarified the situation, Li Yi still felt that there was something off about the nature of their relationship.

However, as a doctor, what business of his was this?

Returning to the topic at hand, he explained, “The Fire Sparrow’s illness didn’t appear overnight. This must have been long in the making. Small things adding up in daily life caused this. That’s why I’m asking a few questions about Yun’s private life. To cure this illness, I’m going to have to get to the root of this. Do you understand?”

Lin Ya immediately retorted, “Then why don’t you ask about the Fire Sparrow’s life? Why are you only thinking about Youyun’s life?”

Li Yi was helpless. He could only go on, “Many times when a monster pet has some issues, they are caused by something external. The root of the problem is more likely to be the Beast Master.”

Hearing this, Lin Ya erupted into anger. “What do you mean? Are you trying to say that Yun is mistreating her Fire Sparrow?”

“I’m warning you. If you can’t cure it, then just tell us now. Don’t talk about other things, okay?”

Li Yi looked at Bai Youyun and asked, “Does what I just said make sense to you? Do you think the problem has somehow arisen from you?”

Bai Youyun started to lose confidence. She reviewed the Beast training methods she had used in the past.

A moment later, she shook her head.

“I’ve done my best, but I don’t think there is anything I have done to cause this. I’ve done everything I can. I feel that I’m a conscientious master.”

Looking at Bai Youyun’s aggrieved expression, Lin Ya became even angrier.

“Hey! What kind of doctor are you! Do you even know how diligent my Youyun is towards her monster pets?”

“Just this custom-made pure gold bird cage alone has cost an unimaginable amount of money!”

“The pillow at the center of the cage is made from Spirit Silk Cedar Wood. It absorbs heavenly and earthly energy to supply to the Fire Sparrow.”

“Also, the insects that the Fire Sparrow usually eats are the larvae of the Flower Spirit Butterfly. Every one of them is extremely precious. Eating just one of them will increase the bird’s cultivation!”

“Not to mention, the bed that the Fire Sparrow sleeps on is made from the feathers of the Red-Feathered Phoenix. You can’t even imagine how expensive they are!”

“That bed probably costs more than this entire hospital of yours!”

Lin Ya’s words left Li Yi speechless. His hospital was indeed very lousy, but what did that have to do with anything?

And besides, no matter how much money you spent on furnishings for the Beast, what actual use would they have?

It’s not like the Beast can tell you whether it likes them or not!

Li Yi was helpless. Typical rich lady. Forget about useful things. Forget about suitable things. She only wanted the most expensive things, even if they were completely useless…

Lin Ya said a whole bunch of things and finally said angrily, “Youyun has done so much. You really think she’s the problem here? I think the one with a problem here is you!”

“You’re a quack! We should never have come here!”

As she said that, she was about to hold Bai Youyun’s hand.

“Let’s get out of here! He’s not going to treat it. There is something wrong with him!”

Lin Ya held Bai Youyun’s hand and was about to leave.

Being gripped very tightly, Bai Youyun could not break free at all. In a moment of desperation, she could not help but berate, “Lin Ya, don’t be so anxious. Don’t leave yet!”

Lin Ya turned around to look at her. She asked in disbelief, “You’re still relying on this place to treat the Fire Sparrow? This guy is obviously trying to hit on you!”

Bai Youyun was a little embarrassed and speechless. “Let’s not jump to conclusions. I think Dr. Li has some skills.”

At that moment, Lin Ya remembered how earlier the Fire Sparrow opened its mouth and took some food. Li Yi was not the same as the other doctors.

Lin Ya let go of her hand, feeling a little helpless. “Alright, if you say so, then we’ll stay here awhile and see what happens…”
