[Chapter 25 - Something’s wrong with the medicine!] The prestigious sects are unreasonable

Although he bathed in hot water and had medicine, the condition of Shen Qian Ling's body was still too poor. After making the fever subside with much difficulty, the cold poison in his body flared up. He was curled up in pain, with no hint of blood in his face, his fingers holding on to the blankets with a death grip, and cold sweat also appeared on his forehead.

"Is there any way to cure this?" Qin Shao Yu turned around and asked Hua Tang.

Hua Tang said tactfully, "The inner energy of sect leader in inclined towards yang, if you can be with Mister Shen....together, then he will be able to endure it better."

Qin Shao Yu frowned, "Other than that?"

"There's no other way, he can only endure through it." Hua Tang said, "After enduring it for a few hours, the cold poison will eventually became dormant again."

"You can go." Qin Shao Yu sighed in his heart.

Hua Tang acknowledged the order and turned and left, closing the door for the two of them along the way.

Qin Shao Yu wringed a warm hand towel, and helped him to slowly wipe away the sweat on his forehead.

"Cold." Shen Qian Ling's voice sounded like a kitten.

"It won't be cold anymore soon." Qin Shao Yu held his hand, sending some internal energy little by little over, wanting to help alleviate his pain.

Warmth travelled from his palm and slowly pa.s.s through his whole body. Shen Qian Ling felt a lot better, and so he smiled at him gratefully.

A smile from a sickly pale beauty was really alluring.

Thus Qin Shao Yu reached out and picked him up, and pulled open the s.h.i.+rt ties in two moves.

Yi! Shen Qian Ling's eyes instantly widened!

Don't take advantage right now you jerk!

I just changed my view of you!

If you dare to touch then I will break off relations!

"What are you imagining wildly about." Qin Shao Yu pulled on his cheek, "I'm giving you more internal energy, it will be better for you."

Shen Qian Ling: "............"

Alright this warrior you are n.o.ble and moral, and full of righteousness, it's me whose thoughts are vulgar and impure.

Qin Shao Yu took off one side of his clothes, and pressed his palm gently on that thin chest.

Shen Qian Ling laid in his arms, his eyelashes lowered, frowning occasionally.

"Hurts?" Qin Shao Yu asked him.

"Yes." There's some cold sweat on Shen Qian Ling's palms.

"Don't be scared, try your best to relax a little." Qin Shao Yu voice was very gentle, "Your body is weak, I know my limits."

It was very easy for these kind of conversation to cause ambiguity alright?

The errand boy at the door, who had come to send hot water was extremely moved.

It was exactly the same as the stories.

Very loving.

Really made it unbearable for people.

Thus an hour later, a new scene/plot begin to spread around the city rapidly, the incident of staying on the sickbed was the best incentive ever, there was even an outlandish version where "Young master Shen was at his last gasp of breath, sect leader Qin, teary-eyed, used his body to help him detox day and night", it was extremely deranged.

That was why it had been said that the imagination of the ma.s.ses has always been rather shocking.

Shen Qian Ling who was inside the inn obviously didn’t know about this. There was bone piercing pain whenever the cold poison acted up on occasion, and even though Qin Shao Yu stayed by his bedside throughout, he still went through some suffering. Until the time when the sun set and the moon rose, then did the effects of poison gradually lessen; his entire inner garment was drenched with cold sweat, and his face was even whiter than paper.

An underling sent in bathing water boil with heated herbs, Qin Shao Yu helped him to remove his clothes, and gently carried him into the water.

Shen Qian Ling already had no mood to be bothered about the matter of "being seen naked", in fact he was in such pain that he became sluggish, and only know to sit in the tub in a daze, his eyes vacant.

"Pained dumb?" Qin Shao Yu pinched his cheeks.

"........Yes." Shen Qian Ling came back to the present, his whisper very weak and without strength.

"Don't get too cold next time." Qin Shao Yu helped to pour hot water down his shoulders, "The flare ups of the cold poison will be worse than the previous time, you won't be able to stand it if it increases."

To think that it would become increasingly worse....

Shen Xiao Shou wished to cry and yet had no tears, wis.h.i.+ng that he could just dunk his head in water.

This kind of time travel wasn’t rational.

"But it will be alright as long as we're more mindful, so there's no need to worry too much." Qin Shao Yu kneaded his stiff shoulders, "Hua Tang will prescribe some heated medicine, it will be added when cooking soup, your body will feel warmer."

"Mother has also given some medicine." Shen Qian Ling propped himself by the edge of the tub, "Although it can't alleviate the cold poison, my uncle said that it can still drive out the cold." Even though his mother had said to keep it a secret as much as possible, but it was still not a good idea to eat medicine anyhow, or else if the medicine were to conflict with each other, then the one who loses is still himself. Who could understand the suffering of being a medicine container.

"Where is it?" Qin Shao Yu asked.

Shen Qian Ling pointed at the cabinet.

Qin Shao Yu stood up, and found a porcelain bottle from the cloth bundle, "This?"

"Yes." Shen Qian Ling nodded.

"Do you have to eat it now?" Qin Shao Yu opened the bottle.

"No, my mother said it can only be eaten once a month." Shen Qian Ling sneezed.

The bath water had also turned somewhat cool. Qin Shao Yu pulled over a cloth, and bundled him out of the tub.

Shen Qian Ling: "........"

Alright his limbs were sore and weak, so this was the only way.

It was still better than being carried out by other people.

"Sect leader." Hua Tang knocked on the door outside, "This subordinate had helped young master Shen to cook some porridge to warm the stomach, does he want to eat it now?"

There's porridge to eat? Shen Qian Ling's ears instantly perked up.

Thus before Qin Shao Yu could say anything, he heard Shen Qian Ling's stomach begin to rumble, clearly he had been starving.

........

Sect leader Qin laughed without an ounce of sympathy.

Laugh your sister. Shen Qian Ling's shame turned into anger, and he pointed a middle finger in his heart.

The well-fed cannot know how the starving suffer, you this capitalist without sympathy.

Hua Tang pushed the door and entered the room, and placed the tray on the table; fragrance filled the room, it was very tempting.

"Thanks." Shen Qian Ling, snuggled in the blankets, thanked listlessly.

"Young master is too courteous, this is what this subordinate should do.' Hua Tang wanted to leave after putting down the food, but was called by Qin Shao Yu.

"Does sect leader still have matters?" Hua Tang asked.

"This is Ling-er's, it can allegedly expel cold." Qin Shao Yu handed the porcelain bottle to her, "If you feel it's good, then make some more of it, in preparation for a time of need."

Hua Tang nodded, turned and left the room.

"Quickly feed me." Green light was almost shooting out of Shen Xiao Shou's eyes.

Afraid that he would get cold again after getting down the bed, Qin Shao Yu could only serve as a nanny for free, help with to carry porridge in his left hand and serve food with his right, and even properly imitated the lazy susan on the table.

Shen Qian Ling sat on the bed cross legged, wrapped himself tightly in the blanket, only leaving a face exposed, he even wrapped a big flowery headscarf on his head --- he had really ached into fear.

Qin Shao Yu's expression was very stiff.

"Try laughing and see." Shen Qian Ling picked up the spoon, his eyes full of anger.

"Why would I." Qin Shao Yu laughed till even his hand was shaking, "Seeing fu-ren like this, it's as if a knife is twisted in this husband's heart."

Shen Qian Ling: "........."

You, this hypocritical person of Jianghu.

But although he really wanted to grab and shout in his face, but Shen Xiao Shou was truly tired and hungry with no energy at all, so he could only chant silently inside "For a n.o.bleman to take revenge, ten years is not too late" and obediently finished his meal, and very quickly fell asleep again. His palms finally had some warmth again, and his face gradually became rosy again.

Qin Shao Yu sighed in relief, helped him to arrange the blanket, and got up and left the room.

"Sect leader." Hua Tang was currently for him at the corridor outside.

"What's the matter?" Qin Shao Yu closed the door.

Hua Tang said with a doubtful expression, "That bottle of medicine from before, where did sect leader get it?"

"There's a problem?" Qin Shao Yu asked.

Hua Tang nodded, "A big problem."

The room at the end of the corridor was used as a temporary medicine hall, Hua Tang brought Qin Shao Yu in, opened a small white porcelain container, and they saw a very thin, small worm twisting around, looking rather disgusting.

Qin Shao Yu was repulsed, "What the h.e.l.l is this?"

"Gu Chong ." Hua Tang said, "It was found from young master Shen's pill."

"The one that I gave you?' Qin Shao Yu was shocked.

"Yes, there's twelve pills, each one of them has it." Hua Tang said, "After taking more, the person would lose his mind, and become the puppet of the one who owns the gu."

"You mean someone wants to control Ling-er?" Qin Shao Yu was slightly indignant.

"Should be." Hua Tang nodded, "Don't know how many have young master Shen already taken, but if the numbers are few, we can simply just use silver needles to force the gu chong out, it's not a big matter."

"I will ask him tomorrow, you find some ginseng and deer antler tonic, make them into pills and switch these things away." Before they have found out everything, Qin Shao Yu doesn't intend to inform Shen Qian Ling of this matter.

"Making the same shape is easy, but I'm afraid the taste isn't that simple." Hua Tang showed an expression of difficulty, "And no one knows whether it should be sour or bitter, if young master Shen has already eaten it before, he would easily realize the difference."

"Then try it before making it," Qin Shao Yu said resolutely.

Hua Tang immediately looked at him with a despondent expression, a meaning along the lines of "sect leader you are not seriously intending for me to try right even if nothing happens this thing is still very disgusting and in any case I'm a girl can it be someone else" shown in her eyes.

Sect leader Qin asked, "Did we capture any criminals recently?"

Hua Tang immediately felt relieved, there really was.

Thus a moment later, a bunch of people grabbed Bai Lian Hua to in front of the left chief.

"Eat it." Hua Tang pa.s.sed him a pill.

"Demonic woman! Wh.o.r.e! Lowly person! " Bai Lian Hua's bones are very hard, it's as if light were going to fly out from his eyes, and his vocabulary was plentiful too.

Then in the next second, he was stepped on by Hua Tang onto the ground and beaten up heavily.

Among his wailing, the underlings of the Dominion of Shadow Chasers all moved their eyes away, it was really too brutal!

"Continue scolding." A moment later, Hua Tang patted her hands and stood up.

Bai Lian Hua was badly battered, choking with sobs incessantly.

The rumors of Jianghu lead people to their death, didn't they say the prestigious sects have always only used their mouths and not their hands?!

Then what kind of situation is he in now?

Moreover, even if it's the demonic sect, they also don't have a rule of beating criminals right away.

Was this still reasonable.

"Eating it, or not?" Hua Tang picked him up from the ground, towering over him with the demeanor of an honorable sect.

Bai Lian Hua's legs were weak and had no strength, the tip of nose facing just right at her voluminous b.r.e.a.s.t.s.

Wa.....the subordinates gathered around all looked at him with envy, to have this kind of treatment, it was worth it to get beaten up.

He was really close.

"If you don't eat I will strip you naked." Hua Tang threatened.

Bai Lian Hua got even more emotional, no matter what she was still a woman, how could she threaten people like that, she was practically a tyrant.

"Tell me what it tastes like." Hua Tang forced half a pill into his mouth, "Do not leave anything out."

Bai Lian Hua tried to spit it out with all his might, but unfortunately the pill dissolved upon entering his mouth; not even a remnant remained.

"Tell me." Hua Tang was ferocious.

With tears br.i.m.m.i.n.g in his eyes, Bai Lian Hua said with a trembling voice, "It's fragrant and sweet, it's like eating a honey cake."

"Really?" Hua Tang sniffed the remaining half of the pill, then smiled coldly and pushed up his chin, "I'm giving you one last chance, if you make things up again, look out, I may slaughter you and feed the dogs."
