Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor

Chapter 2030: What he said still counts

The people waited anxiously. After about the time it took a column of incense to burn, they saw them come back with water sacs in their hands.

“Come, take turns to drink.” The Chai family’s physician poured half a bottle of medicated water from the sac and handed it to one of the Chai Clansmen who had been bitten by man-eating ants.

Everyone looked at the light purplish water and was stunned. One of them asked in a low voice, “Is this really the antidote? Will it work?”

Feng Jiu glanced at that man. “You don’t have to drink it.”

However, beckoned by the Chai family’s physician, others drank the medicinal liquid even though still unsure in their hearts. After all, the antidote seemed too easy to extract. Although they couldn’t see how Little Jiu made it in front, it seemed to be produced by taking the medicinal herbs’ juice and adding in some water. Could this turn into the antidote?

“Drink it up!” Feng Jiu handed Fan Yixiu a small medicine bottle.

“Thank you so much.” Fan Yixiu drank it immediately after receiving it.

They were resting in place for about the time it took for a column of incense to burn. Their symptoms gradually eased, the poisonous fire in their bodies dissipated, and only the wound remained red and swollen.

“It disappeared, really disappeared. The burning feeling in my body is gone!” One of the Chai Clansmen said joyfully. There’s a feeling that he had gotten a new lease of life.

“It really disappeared. My body is not so uncomfortable anymore.” Another person also said happily. He looked at Feng Jiu. “Little Jiu, thank you.”

“Little Jiu, thanks so much.”

“Little Jiu, thank you for saving us!”

Excited and joyful voices of gratitude came out of everyone’s lips. Feng Jiu smiled. “It doesn’t take much effort.” She thought the Chai family’s people were good enough to help. If they had evil intentions, it’s impossible for her to save them.

“The wound needs another dose of medicine. Come on, let me take a look at it for you. ” The Chai family’s physician spoke while coming over to a member of the Chai Clan and rebandaged the wound.

“Little scoundrel, come here.” Sage Hun Yuan sat by the stream and shouted at Feng Jiu.

Hearing the appellation ‘little scoundrel’, Feng Jiu shook her head, stood up helplessly and walked towards him. “My name is not Little Scoundrel! No one has ever dared to call me that.” She looked at him with a smile in her gaze. There’s an unknown meaning in her eyes.

“No one dares to call you that, but the old man wants to call you that. ” Sage Hun Yuan snorted. He looked at the young man sitting in front of him and asked discontentedly. “The last time you helped Junyue solve the poison, you swindled the old man’s treasure. Why don’t you ask for some reward from them for saving so many people this time?”

“That’s not the same!”

Feng Jiu smiled. Her eyes were filled with laughter as she looked at him. “There are some things that I don’t need to bother about. As a person, I always do things at will. Just as I helped Zhuo Junyue solve his poison last time, I did it on a whim. What’s more, I’ve already said before taking action that I wanted a reward.”

“Hmph! Didn’t you say that you didn’t know this old man? Do you remember me now?” The old man sat cross-legged with his arms folded across his chest and snorted.

“You kept reminding me throughout the journey. How can I not remember?” She looked at him with her eyes narrowed in smiles. “But what does it matter if I remember? You cannot take back what is in my hands. Besides, I did not deceive you into getting it. It was my reward.”

Sage Hun Yuan stared at her and asked, “What the old man said last time still counts. Do you want to reconsider it?”
