Chapter 350 - Stubborn Waylays (2/2)

They were currently in Tung Mei's bedroom, Tung Mei was naturally still unconscious and the maid and the Imperial doctor who were waiting on her were passed out in a corner, out of the way. Doctor Lou was standing in the middle of the room while Xiao Ying, who currently knelt in front of Tung Mei's bed with her hands hovering above Tung Mei's abdomen.

Tung Mei's body was currently bathed in a pink effervescent light which she seemed to be radiating off of Xiao Ying as well. And it was only after Doctor Lou came closer that he noticed that Tung Mei's abdomen was glowing blue where Xiao Ying's hands were, ”You - You! You actually gave her my vitality pill?!” He exclaimed as his eyes went wide and his mouth hung open in disbelief.

”Shhh! This is hard work you know!” Xiao Ying shouted back, briefly turning to glare at him before refocusing her attention back on Tung Mei, ”If you're not going to help me, go away.”

Doctor Lou opened and closed his mouth a few times, before holding the back of his head and squatting with a groan as he lamented, ”My - My precious -”

”Are you crying?” Xiao Ying asked glancing at him with a raised eyebrow.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click for visiting.

Doctor Lou raised his head and glared at her and she quickly looked away. She was not bothered with his lament, he would get over it... eventually.

”Do you know how long it takes me to make one vitality pill?! Doctor Lou continued to scold, ”Even if the Emperor - no, scratch that, even if my own sister begged me for it -... I'd have to consider it.” Doctor Lou said that last bit quietly, pulling at his long beard with a pout. Despite how he behaves, if his sister was actually dying, he would give it to her without a thought... but it did depend on the situation though.

”Tch, stingy old man.” Xiao Ying mumbled.

”You -! You -!” Doctor Lou jumped to his feet at a loss for words, he looked around the room, looking for something to scold her with. He had clearly pampered her too much.

”Father, calm down, angry doesn't suit you~” Xiao Ying said, finally turning to him and flashing a smile, ”Don't worry, I'll help you make another one later~ I'll even add in another two jars of wine to our arrangement. Just let this one go~”

Doctor Lou squinted at her and then said, ”Five.”

”Three.”

”Five.”

”Three!”

”Do you know how lo -!”

”Five, fine, five.” Xiao Ying said with exasperation, rolling her eyes.

Doctor Lou smiled and then crouched down next to her again, ”Ying Ying, you know if this were anyone else, I would have crushed them... Stealing from me is a very very bad thing that cannot become a habit. Moreover, you could have just asked me -”

”Would you have agreed?” Xiao Ying grumbled, irritated. Clearly, he did not plan to leave... or help.

Doctor Lou stroked his long beard and sighed, ”Xiao Ying... This might seem like a great idea but it is not. My vitality pill is not for mortals -”

”I know -”

”You know?” Doctor Lou asked, blinking at her in surprise.

”I do pay attention to your lessons too you know...” Xiao Ying said with an indignant expression, ”I'm not that much of a bad student...” She mumbled in addition.

Doctor Lou frowned and then hit her head, Xiao Ying's hands instantly flew to her head, ”Ow!” The blue light instantly began to spread through Tung Mei's body and Xiao Ying promptly remembered herself and put her hands back over Tung Mei's abdomen and drew the blue light in, ”Stop distracting me!”

”And you stop playing with someone's life! If you truly paid attention then you should know that something like this will not only kill a mortal but could destroy their soul. Now, move over so I can fix this and you go home.” Doctor Lou sternly said, reaching towards Tung Mei's body.

”No!” Xiao Ying barked as she used her body to knock Doctor Lou to the ground, glaring at him. Her eyes had now changed color from their light brown to different colored eyes - one blue and one yellow.

”I know what I'm doing! I have a theory! I can save her so just leave us alone!” She barked and then turned her attention back to Tung Mei as beads of sweat ran down her face.

{...I can save you...You will be alright...}
