“Cough cough- cough cough…” That lady only recovered after much effort, but was coughing badly once again. Furthermore, she was coughing so badly that her entire person was sitting upright now. Who knew,?it might have been triggered by what Sima You Yue said.
When Sima You Yue saw her that way, she couldn’t really bear it so she went forward and helped her pat her back in hopes that it would make her feel a little better.
After a long while had passed, that lady finally recovered and stopped coughing.
“Are you okay?” Sima You Yue’s heart hurt as she watched this beauty cough so terribly, until she was even puking blood. After pondering for a moment, she took out a cup of juice that she had extracted from spirit fruits and handed it over to the lady. “Drink this.”
That lady lifted her head and looked at Sima You Yue. When she saw the concern in her eyes, she smiled and took the fruit juice. She took a light sip. She thought that it was to calm her down, but she didn’t expect that it would soothe her throat quite a bit after drinking. She didn’t feel like coughing anymore.
This was the most comfortable that she had felt in so many years.
” This can soothe your cough. You should drink a little more.” Sima You Yue said when she saw that she stopped after drinking a small mouthful.
That lady drank another mouthful, then turned around to ask, “What is this?”
” Spirit Fruit Juice. It’s pretty effective in moistening your throat. I also added a bit of medicine inside.” Sima You Yue explained.
She had gotten Little Spirit to make this. That was why it was still pretty fresh and tasted pretty decent
“This is a lot more effective than those pills.” That lady said with a smile.
Sima You Yue saw her smile and felt that she was really a lady who allowed others to feel comfortable around her. A single look at her would calm your soul. It was a pity that the pallor on her face really evoked pity.
“How did you end up sick? It’s so strange that a cultivator would actually fall sick. Will you let me take a look?”
“You’re a doctor?” That lady was rather suspicious and immediately returned to her apathetic self, “I think you are a doctor. However, you’re too young. My body has seen eight hundred different doctors, if not a hundred. However, it’s still this way.”
“Since so many doctors have examined you, it shouldn’t bother you for just one more, right?” Sima You Yue said.
That lady looked at Sima You Yue squarely in the eye, then lay down again, “You’re right. I’ll have to trouble you, then.”
Sima You Yue took out a chair then sat down beside the lady. She began to check her body.
“Feng Ru Yan.” That lady suddenly said when she saw how serious Sima You Yue was.
Sima You Yue was stunned, then she suddenly understood that she was telling her her name. Who would have thought that a lady as beautiful as her would also have such a beautiful name.
“Sima You Yue.” She replied.
“Someone from the Sima Clan?”
“I came from the Yi Lin continent.” Sima You Yue replied. She knew that the Sima Clan that Feng Ru Yan spoke of was not the one from the continent below.
Feng Ru Yan nodded without saying anything else.
After a short moment had passed, Sima You Yue let go of her. Her eyebrows were furrowed tightly together as she looked at Feng Ru Yan with puzzlement.
“Has my body scared you?” Feng Ru Yan was neither surprised nor disappeared when she saw Sima You Yue expression. It was as if her expression was completely within her expectations.
“You’re not sick.” Sima You Yue said with confidence.
Feng Ru Yan smiled. She neither affirmed her suspicions nor denied them.
“But your body is strange. It is as if your vital organs are not working at all.” Sima You Yue continued to say.
“A doctor once told me that I should do my best to minimise the workings of my vital organs. Only then will I be able to lengthen my lifespan.” Feng Ru Yan did not deny it.
Her inner organs were indeed working. They were merely functioning extremely slowly. It was so slow that it was as if they were not functioning at all.
Sima You Yue was in awe. She must truly be so powerful that she was actually able to control the movement of her own body.
“At the time when you were injured, you just did not get better. It was as if something had broken into your body.” Sima You Yue said. However, as you have enclosed your vital organs, I can’t see anything.”
It was only now that Feng Ru Yan looked seriously at Sima You Yue. Who would have thought that her medicinal skills would actually be rather powerful. She didn’t tell You Yue why her body was unwell, yet You Yue could tell.
“I don’t know which quack doctor gave you this crazy to seal up your vital organs, but if you continue to do this, you will forever remain sick.” Sima You Yue said rather angrily, “It’s precisely because of this that you can’t get rid of it even if you wanted to. You can only seal it in your body forever and let it eat your life away little by little.”
Feng Ru Yan smiled. If that person knew that someone was calling him a quack doctor, who knows what kind of expression he would have.
“It was a desperate circumstance. We had no other way.” She still explained on the person’s behalf.
“But things are troublesome now.” Sima You Yue said.
After hearing what she said, Feng Ru Yan’s eyes shone, “You’ve thought of an idea?”
“Your circumstance is pretty similar to my younger brother’s. However, yours is more serious.” Sima You Yue said with a sigh, “This is really giving me a headache.”
Feng Ru Yan gave a genuine smile. This was different from the smile that always hung on her face. This time, it was from her heart.
Her helpless look was really cute.
How long had it been since someone had dared reveal this kind of expression in front of her? Actually, how long had it been since anyone had dared show any kind of expression in front of her? No matter fear, concern or any other emotion, there was none.
“Then, do you have a way?” She asked.
“I have no way to cure you for good, but I can help you suppress it.” Sima You Yue siad, “At the very least, you won’t suffer so much.”
“Using this?” Feng Ru Yan raised the cup in her hand. Unknowingly, she had already drained the cup dry.
Sima You Yue shook her head, “This can only soothe your throat temporarily. It cannot suppress your condition. We have to use another way.”
“How can I trust you?” Feng Ru Yan asked.
Sima You Yue looked at Feng Ru Yan, saying, “I need the divine powder.”
“To save your brother?” Feng Ru Yan was not angry at her candour, and said confidently.
Sima You Yue nodded.
“You are an honest lady.” Feng Ru Yan said, “If you can cure me, I will give you the divine powder.”
Sima You Yue looked at Feng Ru Yan with a troubled expression, “Aren’t you making this hard for me? I already said that I haven’t thought of a way to cure you. Furthermore, your situation is so complicated. If I only save my younger brother after curing you, I think my younger brother would be long gone. How could I save you with a peace of mind.”
Feng Ru Yan was merely saying it for fun. She knew that with her current condition, apart from the divine scar, there was no other way. Also, she could feel that it was getting harder and harder for her body to hold on. Who knew when she would pass on.
“You must follow close to me. If you are unable to treat me, I will also give you the divine powder when I die.”
“You won’t, I’ll definitely treat you.” Sima You Yue’s eyes shone with confidence.
