Chapter 4: This Golden Finger Has a Cow

About a quarter of an hour later, a doctor came in, brought by the steward Xu.

He checked Shen Lang's eyes and took his pulse for a while, then exclaimed, "It's really strange. His illness was so severe, and he seemed to be dying, but miraculously he's suddenly better!"

The steward asked, "Doctor Li, is Shen Lang's health really restored?"

"Yes, he's out of danger now," Doctor Li replied.

Steward Xu smiled and said, "Doctor Li, your medical skills are truly remarkable. You have performed a miracle."

After a moment of hesitation, Doctor Li said, "It was just a stroke of luck."

Steward Xu said, "Shen Lang, take good care of yourself."

Then he left the room with Doctor Li.

Shen Lang got off the bed and stood in front of the mirror, carefully examining his new self.

He was very handsome, despite being weak, and exuded a youthful vigor.

Not only that, the previous Shen Lang, although handsome, had a vacant look and a foolish expression, lacking in charm, like a dull sculpture.

The current Shen Lang, however, had lively and profound expressions in his eyes, completely different from before.

It's great to be reborn!

He spent half an hour in front of the mirror, then sat at the table and picked up a book to read.

Of course, he couldn't really concentrate on the book at the moment, just pretending to do so.

Because he was pondering a question: What else had entered his mind besides the memories of two Shen Langs?

He was surprised to find a computer screen in his mind.

It was very familiar, exactly like his Dell Alienware laptop, filled with various data, books, games, and movies.

In modern-day Earth, Shen Lang spent most of his leisure time downloading a large number of books and data onto his hard drive, as the network conditions in many parts of Africa were very poor.

In his mind, Shen Lang effortlessly accessed a book, a movie, and a game from the computer, as if there were no barriers.

This was amazing. The entire Alienware laptop had somehow entered his mind.

Not only that!

Shen Lang also had a very strange sensation, not in his mind, but in his eyes.

He concentrated on his eyes and something even more astonishing happened.

Everything he saw changed before his eyes, no longer the normal world seen by ordinary people.

He could see the scissors in the drawer, the water in the vase, and the roots under the bonsai soil.

Yes, he could see through things!

Of course, this wasn't like the X-ray vision in many urban novels that could see through women's clothing, but rather X-ray vision like that of a hospital's X-ray machine, which could see the tendons, veins, and internal organs of the human body, or like the X-ray machine at a train station security checkpoint, which could see the contents inside a box.

Then Shen Lang remembered that when the bomb exploded next to him, it not only shattered his body, but also an X-ray machine and a laptop.

Now, they had somehow crossed over with him. This was truly amazing.

But, there shouldn't be any other strange things that had crossed over with him, right?!

Suddenly, Shen Lang had a thought: since they were inside his body, could the Alienware laptop and X-ray abilities be combined?

He instinctively combined these two abilities and looked at the table, instantly seeing the internal structure and texture of the table clearly.

And in his mind, he could clearly see the information about the table: it was a writing desk made of rosewood, weighing 157 kilograms.

The vase was made of porcelain and was 15 years old.

This was interesting!

When these two abilities were combined, it was like having a scanner that not only revealed the internal structure but also analyzed it.

Just then, the door to the room opened, and a fragrant breeze wafted in, followed by a gentle and charming voice.

"Shen Lang, you've really recovered. I'm so happy!"

Shen Lang turned to look.

First, he saw a slender frame, tendons, and internal organs, because he was in X-ray vision.

He blinked, and the X-ray vision receded, returning to normal vision.

Then, Shen Lang saw an elegant beauty.

Truly one in a million, with delicate features that seemed like a painting of a beauty. Her graceful figure could be plump or slender. Her skin was as delicate as sheep's fat and could be broken with a puff of air.

It was no wonder that countless young talents in the entire Nujiang Prefecture were infatuated with her. Her beauty, figure, and temperament were all exquisite.

No wonder the previous Shen Lang was infatuated with her at first sight, and even willing to sacrifice himself to save her life.

Not only did she possess unparalleled beauty, but she also exuded an elegant and scholarly air. She didn't seem like the daughter of a merchant, but more like a noblewoman with a deep historical background.

This woman was, of course, Shen Lang's wife, Xu Qianqian.

Upon seeing Shen Lang, Xu Qianqian was slightly surprised and a little puzzled, as she noticed the change in him. His face was the same, but his spirit and demeanor seemed different.

She sat down in front of Shen Lang.

"Shen Lang, to see you recover is truly a blessing," Xu Qianqian said softly.

"Mm," Shen Lang replied.

Xu Qianqian fell silent for a moment, then said, "Your parents have come to our house several times these days. They miss and worry about you very much. Your mother even knelt in front of me several times, begging to have you back. It's really heart-wrenching for parents."

"Um." Shen Lang instantly caught the implied meaning, but he pretended to be very dull, making Xu Qianqian feel like her first impression of Shen Lang was a misconception.

Seeing Shen Lang's slow reaction, Xu Qianqian couldn't help feeling embarrassed. If she said these things to a smart person, they would have understood long ago. But the current Shen Lang seemed completely foolish and unresponsive to her words, leaving her at a loss for how to proceed.

"Bang!"

Just then, the door was forcefully pushed open, and a man in a magnificent brocade outfit walked in, coming up behind Xu Qianqian and kissing her on the head, sneering, "This guy is a moron. How could he possibly understand what you're saying to him so tactfully?"

Then, he arrogantly looked at Shen Lang and said, "I'm Zhang Jin. You're not dead, which is good. Now you can get lost and go back to your rural doghouse."

Shen Lang couldn't help but look at this imposing Zhang Jin, his face showing little expression, not even a hint of emotion in his gaze.

Zhang Jin said, "If you don't understand, let me make it clearer. You, a poor relative of the Xu family, were only here for the wedding. Now that Qianqian has recovered, you're not even worthy of a single finger of hers. So, you've been expelled from the Xu family. From now on, Qianqian and you have no relationship, because she's going to marry me. Understand?"

Shen Lang couldn't help but look at Xu Qianqian, the woman who had always been gentle and perfect in his memory.

Xu Qianqian looked slightly regretful. This situation contradicted her perfect image. She had originally wanted to sever her marital relationship with Shen Lang in a quieter way, but Zhang Jin had just bluntly exposed it.

Shen Lang's eyes remained fixed on Xu Qianqian's beautiful face, as if seeking a definite answer from her.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Qianqian gently said, "Shen Lang, you are kind, but I'm very sorry. We are not suitable for each other."

Shen Lang had no reaction to this "good person card." "I'm so handsome, I don't need a good person card," he thought.

Xu Qianqian continued, "Your parents miss you very much and have been begging us to return you to them, so you should go home and reunite with them."

Shen Lang still stared at her, not saying a word.

Xu Qianqian felt a bit annoyed. This Shen Lang was so obtuse. She had made her words so clear.

"Hmph!" Zhang Jin, the nobleman beside her, became impatient and snorted coldly.

Xu Qianqian looked at him with a hint of appeasement, then her voice turned slightly colder as she said, "Shen Lang, I appreciate your feelings for me. But we really aren't suitable, so you should go home. From now on, we are no longer husband and wife."

Shen Lang looked at Xu Qianqian, then glanced at Zhang Jin, and smiled, "Okay, I'll go home."

Zhang Jin sneered, "Your brain is really beyond help."

Then, he wrapped his arm around Xu Qianqian's slender waist and walked out of the room.

"Leave the Xu family within half an hour, or face the consequences," Zhang Jin said coldly, then left with a flourish.
