Chapter 318: Some Wounds Can Be Mended, Some Can’t.

A friendly reminder, unless you're sure that you're a real superhuman, you can never trust a quack doctor who is trying to give you a craniotomy with an electric drill and electric saw—of course, theoretically, such quack doctors would get themselves killed whenever they step out their house.

Anyway, Lily did not think her landlord was a good doctor. He had nothing to do with a doctor at all. What happened in front of them did not look like 'treating' a patient but more like a machine was repairing another machine. Look at the slashing sparks and you know that this has zero relation with medical science. As a veteran vet, Lily thought she could still consider herself as a medical practitioner, so she decided that she would never discuss saving people with Hao Ren in the future ...

She would not talk about saving the dogs with him as well.

"It's a very sophisticated, safe and very scientific process," the MDT explained. "The dormant chamber provides a powerful anesthetic and life-sustaining environment, which can be utilised even when the chamber is open. Additionally, the precision in which the robotic squid can operate is down to the microscopic level. Hesperides' physical strength denotes that she can withstand such degree of surgery easily, so the whole process is in a safe and controlled state. The reason why you don't find it right is because the Storm Colossi bloodline has brought us a patient whose skeleton is just too strong—but thanks to that skeleton, her head didn't explode when she was shot by the demon hunter. Now, let's move on to the next step. We'll use a small range, directional explosion to clean up the necrotic tissue... Hey, why are the both of you so quiet?"

Hao Ren proceeded to lower his head and numbly pluck the fur on Lily's tail. He then said, "Don't speak, I need to calm down."

Lily pulled her tail back and said, "Don't touch it! I want to keep it so that I can pluck it when I'm bored!"

Hao Ren replied, "…I was just kidding around… But, hasn't your tail always been your treasure? How can you pluck its fur?"

Lily put on a long face and hugged her tail, petting the charred hair that was about a third burnt. "It's burnt in this part anyway. Clean it up so there's room for new fur."

While they were talking, the "operation" finally stopped. The robotic squid jabbered happily and drifted aside. The MDT flew over to take a look, and then it deliberately declared in a rigid voice, "The operation has been successfully completed. The patient's physiological characteristics are stable and her emotional state is steady. Who's going to clean up?"

Hao Ren and Lily quickly ran to the chamber to check on Hesperides' situation. It turned out that the situation was much better than expected. Plus, there was not even a lot of blood in the dormant chamber. It appeared that the robotic squid had use certain methods to achieve a perfect hemostasis. While Hesperides rested and breathed steadily in the coffin, the wound on her forehead began to gradually heal. When the forced dormancy effect was turned off, Hesperides took a deep breath, opened her eyes slowly, rolled her eyeballs and sat up straight. "Done?"

Hao Ren pointed to her forehead and said, "Confirm it for yourself."

Hesperides touched the hole on her head and dug into it carelessly. Her action frightened Hao Ren and Lily, and gave them goosebumps. But, she did not seem to feel anything. When she touched her wound and found that it was healing fast, she dug deeper and found no arrowhead inside. She was pleasantly surprised and breathed a sigh of relief. "Unexpectedly... it's healing!"

Then, she jumped out of the chamber and looked at the equipment as well as the robotic squid that was wiping its tentacles. She was in a state of disbelief, and said, "What should I say... The situation here is messy, but it actually solved the problem!"

Hao Ren laughed and nodded. To be honest, he also found the whole process incredible. But in the end, he could only attribute it to two factors: the insanely strong body of Hesperides and the power of the goddess, Raven 12345 who never played by the rules. Anyway, things relevant to these two points never developed normally. And this time, these two points collided, so it was gratifying to see that nothing bad happened.

"This is the arrowhead taken out from your head." Hao Ren beckoned the robotic squid to come over and took a long, narrow, triangular piece of metal from it. The arrowhead was only an inch long and it was shimmering with a slight silvery glow. He handed it to Hesperides and asked, "You still need it? I'll keep it for research if you don't need it anymore."

Hesperides looked at it with a weird expression and said, "It's been with me for thousands of years..."

Hao Ren was quite shocked and said, "Don't tell me you have feelings for this stuff?! I can cure the physical wound but there's nothing I can do for the psychological wound!"

"You can keep it," Hesperides said and smiled. Hao Ren noticed a slight change in her temperament. The gloomy feeling had subsided a lot and it was replaced with a peaceful, slightly energetic feeling. It was as if the arrowhead in her brain had affected the evening goddess under normal circumstances. She pushed the arrow back to Hao Ren, then solemnly bowed and thanked him, "Thank you, wizard. Although I always find you very suspicious from head to toe, you're actually the first trustworthy person I've met since the end of the Mythological Age. In this terrible age, there are not many people like you who are willing to help others sincerely."

Hao Ren did not know how to answer her, so he just smiled and carefully put the arrowhead into his Dimensional Pocket. He would study it when he was free.

The three of them then left the basement. At this time, Vivian had just cleaned the furniture in the living room. She looked at Hao Ren curiously and asked, "What were you doing down there? Why did it sound like a construction site?"

"…"

Hesperides pointed to her forehead and said, "He was treating me, you see."

"Treating you? Using an electric saw?" Vivian mumbled as she twisted the rag in her hand. But when she saw Hesperides' forehead, she was surprised, and asked, "Hold on... The hole has been filled?"

"It's an engineering marvel." Hao Ren put his hands on his back, pretending to be very knowledgeable. He nodded his head as he spoke inscrutably, "Although, it's difficult to ascribe it to Medical Science."

"What kind of weird things were you doing?" Vivian looked at Hao Ren doubtfully, then waved her hand and said, "Forget it, you always do something surprising. Anyway, Hesperides, you can be happy now since this trip wasn't wasted. Let me make a few specialty dishes for you to celebrate."

Hesperides looked pleasantly surprised by Vivian's offer. As her friend for many years (although they only met each other about once or twice every century), she knew that this weird vampire was a good cook. At the same time, she also knew how precious it was for Vivian to treat her—after all, most of the time, Vivian could not even afford to buy vegetables. This was big news to Hesperides and she thought of spreading it after she got back.

But Hao Ren looked outside and realised that the sun was setting. It was now evening and a lot of places in his big house were still waiting to be cleaned. He was worried that Vivian would not be able to handle the workload, so he said, "How about tomorrow? I'm worried that you'll be worn out."

Vivian smiled, pointed towards the direction of the bathroom and said, "Don't worry, Nangong Wuyue just developed a new function. She can handle some of the cleaning tasks from now on."

Just as Vivian finished talking, Hao Ren noticed the bathroom door being pushed open. Nangong Wuyue, who was still in the shape of a sea serpent crawled out in a slithering motion. Her three or four-metre-long was wrapped in a damp cloth at every half metre. The siren maiden then slid in an S-shaped motion from the bathroom to the living room, and the places where she passed became spotless.

On top of that, she dried the floor and released oxygen-enriched ions at the same time

Lil Pea also followed her and had fun. The little kid tied a handkerchief on her tail, trying to keep up with Nangong Wuyue's pace. She left her tailprints on the floor instead.

Hao Ren turned his head to looked at Hesperides, who was touching the little scar on her forehead, and he thought: Well, the wound on this sister's head is healed, but what can I do to mend the hole in the brain of these weirdos in the house?

Shortly after, Rollie, who had been wandering outside for several days finally came home. First, Rollie had to greet Lil Pea, then Lily had to greet Rollie. The strange landlord and strange tenants in this big house were finally gathered together. They chatted until long into the night before they all went back to their rooms.

The next morning, Hao Ren began writing the report for his operation. He felt that he had to let Raven 12345 know about what was going on in the Athens sanctuary.
