Chapter 97 Astonishing Appetite

Zhu Qian was also shocked, but she didn't ask further and immediately rushed out.

Forty minutes later, Zhu Qian walked in, covered in a cold sweat, and said, "Dr. Ye, the food is in the next room."

The adjacent clinic, being unused, had been simply renovated by Yan Lizhi, with leather flooring and wallpaper, and a new office desk installed as Ye Tian's temporary office.

Ye Tian nodded. After finishing with his current patient, he said to the next person, "Please wait for me for five minutes."

He left the clinic and went to the restroom first. After washing his hands, he returned to his office.

In the office, there were indeed twelve to thirteen jin of cooked beef, sixty boiled eggs, and a pot of pumpkin porridge.

Ye Tian picked up his chopsticks and ate with lightning speed, tossing pieces of beef into his mouth. With a flick of his tongue, the meat disintegrated, and he swallowed it.

As for the eggs, he simply squeezed them, and the shells fell off completely, before popping them directly into his mouth. He alternated between beef and eggs, finishing them all in less than three minutes.

Finally, he picked up the large pot and, with a gulp, drank more than half of the soup. After two more sips, the entire pot of porridge was gone.

After eating, he paced around the room a few times. It was just about five minutes when he returned to the clinic.

Zhu Qian was very curious, thinking, "Did he finish eating so quickly?" With that thought, she went to the office.

Not only her, but Yan Lizhi and Xu Wen were also curious. The two of them followed Zhu Qian to the office. Then they were all stunned. The beef was all gone, the porridge was gone, and only half a basin of eggshells remained.

Could it be that Ye Tian had eaten everything?

Zhu Qian exclaimed, "Dr. Ye eats too much!"

Xu Wen said lightly, "Heh, truly worthy of being a Wu Wang!"

Yan Lizhi's heart stirred, and he said, "Divine Doctor Ye has high cultivation. His digestive system is hundreds of times stronger than that of ordinary people. Therefore, once the food enters his stomach, it is digested cleanly within half a minute and then enters the intestines. This allows him to eat half a cow in one meal, far exceeding the appetite of ordinary people. Thus, it is not an exaggeration for novels and legends to describe martial heroes eating ten jin of beef and drinking five jin of rice wine at one sitting."

Xu Wen nodded, "Exactly. To explain it with Western medicine, Ye Tian can control the autonomic nerves in his body. When he is not acting, he can hibernate like a bear, with his heart rate as low as six to eight beats per minute, only one-tenth of a normal person's. When he needs to act, his heart rate can reach several hundred beats per minute, thus unleashing astonishing combat power."

Yan Lizhi sighed, "In that case, can he live for hundreds of years?"

Xu Wen nodded, "Barring any accidents, a lifespan of two to three hundred years is possible."

Zhu Qian asked, "Dean, if Dr. Ye participated in the sports meet, wouldn't he definitely win the championship?"

Xu Wen and Yan Lizhi both laughed. Yan Lizhi said, "Little Zhu, have you ever seen the president of any country participate in a sports meet to compete for medals?"

Zhu Qian shook her head, "No."

Yan Lizhi continued, "The honor of the sports meet is even less important to him than a hundred yuan. Therefore, he will not participate, nor is he interested in participating."

Zhu Qian gave an embarrassed smile, "I was thinking too simply."

Xu Wen said, "Let's go. Since Divine Doctor Ye has eaten, we can't go hungry. I'll treat today."

Ye Tian continued to see patients. By three in the afternoon, it was finally Hu Dayong's turn. He said politely this time, "Doctor, my son has been having night terrors lately and can't sleep. As soon as he falls asleep, he cries loudly within five minutes at most. These past few days have been extremely agonizing for my wife and me."

Ye Tian also noticed that both Hu Dayong and his wife were not in good condition, one with dark circles under his eyes, the other with bloodshot eyes.

He nodded, observed the child for a few moments, and then took his pulse with one finger for a moment. After about half a minute, he frowned and asked, "Hu Dayong, have you offended anyone?"

Hu Dayong was taken aback, "Offended someone? Probably."

He wasn't sure, after all, he had always been arrogant, so offending people was quite normal.

Ye Tian said, "Your child has been subjected to some means, causing him to cry as soon as he sleeps. If this continues, in at most half a month, the child will be mentally exhausted and will die."

The woman was frightened and cried, pleading, "Doctor, please save my son!"

Hu Dayong's eyes seemed to be spitting fire, "Doctor, are you saying someone is harming my son?"

Ye Tian nodded, "The other party used such a malicious method on an infant of a few months. Their intentions are impure. Take your child away first. Tonight, I will visit your home."

Hu Dayong was stunned, then overjoyed, and said, "Thank you, Divine Doctor Ye!"
