Chapter 239.1: Lets Get Married (1/2)

The curtain of night descended on the busy day.

After the temperature cooled down, the village was filled with a strangely fresh and clean smell. It caused Tang Doudou to have the urge to take a walk at the place where they fished in the afternoon, but Jun Xin had warned her that it was best to stay inside tonight.

Tang Doudou could only return to the room with Qing Yu. Qing Yu urged her to go to bed early, but as she had already slept for so long, she didn’t feel drowsy at all.

Hence, she decided to pass that medicinal book to Qing Yu and have her read it to her.

Qing Yu flipped through a few pages before looking at her strangely. “Lady Doudou, this is a medicinal book, isn’t it?”

Tang Doudou rubbed her head. “Yeah, it’s a medicinal book.”

Qing Yu then asked, “Is Lady planning to study medicine?”

“Of course not.” Studying medicine wasn’t something someone could do just because they wanted to, natural aptitude was also very important. With how poor her comprehension strength was, she probably would never be able to learn anything other than how to cook well in this lifetime.

However, it was still good to learn a bit of this common knowledge just in case it came in handy one day.

When Qing Yu heard this, she thought that Tang Doudou was just doing this to pass the time, so she flipped to the first page and started reading. “Hysteria is exhibited with six symptoms: qi and yin deficiency, phlegm and qi stagnation, heaviness on chest, attack of chills, phlegm and static blood blocking orifices…”

Tang Doudou’s eyes narrowed as she listened to Qing Yu’s soft reading. This medicinal book was quite meaningful ah!

It was introducing these hard-to-treat conditions from the very start, so it was no wonder that it would also contain information about the Hoarfrost Poison.

After listening to several more cases, she discovered the problem. This book was a medicinal book, but it didn’t record the methods to diagnose and treat those diseases. In addition, all of the cases recorded were incurable diseases and poisons.

She thought about it a little, and then had Qing Yu go directly to the page about the Hoarfrost Poison. “Qing Yu, read this for me. Don’t skip even a single word.”

Qing Yu saw that she seemed pretty serious and glanced over the page. She then recalled what her master had said: If Lady Doudou brought up the Hoarfrost Poison, she should just pretend that she didn’t understand.

However, this thing was right in front of her, and she had already read a few pages of it. How was she supposed to pretend that she didn’t understand it?

“What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?” When Tang Doudou noticed that Qing Yu was completely still, she waved her hand in front of her a few times. “Qing Yu?”

Only then did Qing Yu snap out of her daze and quickly reply, “I seemed to have overeaten.”

“Overeaten?” Tang Doudou looked at her flat stomach with skepticism. She didn’t see Qing Yu eat much earlier though?

Those words had just popped out of Qing Yu’s mouth before she had a chance to think about it, but now, her eyes whirled and she immediately came up with a plan. “My stomach seems upset. Lady Doudou, please wait for a while, I need to go…”

Before she even finished speaking, Tang Doudou waved her hand worriedly and said, “You should hurry and go!”

Qing Yu then ran out as if she had been granted amnesty. From the looks of it, she had been repressing it for a while.

Tang Doudou picked up the book Qing Yu left on the side. Aiy, she had better spend some time learning how to read. Otherwise she’d be helpless if no one was by her side.

The days of being a rice weevil were very carefree and happy, but joy and misfortune always came hand in hand. As of now, the Seven Great Saint Tribes were still eyeing her, so how could she allow herself to just enjoy Baili Yu’s protection without worry?

In addition, she had to keep the vows she made to Feng Wu!

For better or for worse, she was a martial arts Alliance Head. What kind of Alliance Head would she be if she couldn’t even read?

After making her decision, she immediately felt invigorated and waited for Qing Yu to come back and teach her to read. Previously, Xiao Dao had taught her to read while they were leaving Mist City. Although he hadn’t taught her much, she still remembered the simple words, so she flipped open the book and started identifying what she knew.

When Qing Yu returned with Baili Yu’s instructions, Tang Doudou didn’t ask her to read the book anymore and instead, asked her to teach her how to read.
