Chapter 182 - Without a Doubt (1/2)
182 Without a Doubt
Lan You Nian stood in the stunning gardens of the Medical Valley with an exquisite facial structure, white skin, a pair of striking and pure eyes, and a faint smile hung on her face. From top to bottom, she was filled with energy. Amongst the hundreds of flowers, the person seemed to have completely become one with the sea of flowers, taking everyone into a joyful domain, deeply mesmerizing one’s heart.
Not far away from the girl stood Feng Yi Xuan. His robust physique was, in this moment, like a majestic mountain that continued on for a thousand miles, motionless against the torrents of winds and rain, only to safe-guard the smiling girl in the gardens.
Lan You Nian was aware that ever since Feng Yi Xuan returned from shifu’s place that night, there was something wrong with him, because all of Feng Yi Xuan’s thoughts were on her, as if, if she were to leave in line of sight for a moment, he will become restless. The last few nights the two of them slept together, most of the time she woke up in the middle of the night, she noticed Feng Yi Xuan didn’t actually sleep as he stared unblinking at her.
At first, Lan You Nian wasn’t sure what caused the change in Feng Yi Xuan, but after a few days, Lan You Nian more or less understood somewhat. Shifu probably told Xuan that the situation of the poison in her body wasn’t optimistic. Lan You Nian knew how tricky the poison was, otherwise it wouldn’t have dragged on for so many years. In the past, Lan You Nian felt that even if she died, there was nothing worth mourning, but now she had Feng Yi Xuan, Lan You Nian suddenly wanted to live! She didn’t know if she disappeared in this world, what would happen to Feng Yi Xuan. She didn’t dare think about the possibilities!
Feng Yi Xuan’s eyes blinked as they watched the girl like an elf amongst flowers, his lips curled up into a faint smile. It was wonderful to watch Nian Nian like this; this was enough. But, Feng Yi Xuan’s eyes narrowed, immediately he ran over to Lan You Nian’s side to pick Lan You Nian up and headed over to the medicine room.
In just that moment, he clearly saw Nian Nian’s body shaking. For Feng Yi Xuan’s whose entire focus was on Lan You Nian, he immediately knew this was Lan You Nian’s poison relapsing this month. Feng Yi Xuan’s forehead beaded with sweat, all due to his unrelenting worry.
Lan You Nian’s pale, slender fingers clenched around Feng Yi Xuan’s clothes as she watched the furiously running man’s frowning and worried face. Lan You Nian really wanted to reach out to smooth out the furrow between his brows, but the pain in her body made her unable to do so.
“Nian Nian. Nian Nian…Nian Nian..” Feng Yi Xuan kept chanting Lan You Nian’s name as he used qinggong to race to the medicine room, not with any intent of receiving an answer from LAn You Nian, but as if only by calling out the girl’s name can his heart be reassured and calm the manic heart that wanted to kill.
Lan You Nian was unable to reply to Feng Yi Xuan’s plead, because she feared if she opened her mouth, her pained whimpers will escape. But no matter how much pain her body was in, because there was such a man by her side, Lan You Nian’s heart was warm.
Though Feng Yi Xuan felt the journey was far, it wasn’t long before they arrived in the medicine room. Feng Yi Xuan carried Lan You Nian, kicking open the wooden doors of the medicine room as he shouted “Shifu, Nian Nian…”
Gui Yi Zi instantly dropped all the herbs in his hands and went over to Lan You Nian to take her pulse. Because he knew Lan You Nian’s relapse will occur these one of these days, most of the stuff needed were already prepared. Gui Yi Zi steadily said to Feng Yi Xuan, “Place her in the medicine pool!”
There was a medicine pool in the room, the same one Lan You Nian used before, in the past. At this moment, the medicine pool gave off a potent and pungent medicinal smell. The entire medicine pool emitted a bluish tent. Feng Yi Xuan carried Lan You Nian, gingerly putting her into the pool.
“Make her drink this bowl of medicine!” Gui Yi Zi fetched a bowl of black medicinal syrup, gazing with worry on the shaking Lan You Nian, in the pool, the tone of his voice was not the usual but like a divine doctor, filled with a healer’s righteousness.
Feng Yi Xuan took the bowl of medicine; with one arm holding the shaking Lan You Nian, another arm held the bowl to feed Lan You Nian the medicine, but how could Lan You Nian be able to drink this right now? Feng Yi Xuan’s heart ached as he watched Lan You Nian and took a mouthful of the medicine from the bowl, then the two people’s lips pressed against another as Feng Yi Xuan pried open Lan You Nian cold lips and fed her the medicine in his mouth little by little.
“The next part will be painful” Gui Yi Zi came over to the pool and said to Lan You Nian, who was expression was already a little dazed “Xiao Nian Nian, you must hold on. If it hurts, tell shifu. Shifu is here!” Watching Lan You Nian like this, Gui Yi Zi wanted to reach out his aged hand to stroke Lan You Nian’s hair, but he put it down.
After Lan You Nian drank the medicine, she once again endured in the medicinal pool as her entire body violently shuddered. This kind of pain was similar to the pain every time the poison in her body took over. This pain seemed to come from the blood, from the bones, from the soul. The tormented Lan You Nian was completely lost to the pain as her thoughts were no longer clear. She only knew she had to endure it.
