After enough time had passed for an incense stick to burn, Xiang He finally stopped coughing. In front of him, there was blood everywhere. Some of it was chunky and dark-colored. The whole time, Elder Zhen felt like he was dying inside. He felt helpless, unable to do anything for the Crown Prince.
Yi Ling stared at her magnificent experiment, unable to help but feel joy. If the mixed concoction hadn't worked, she could have just given him the green vial to heal him. She had decided to add the red with the green so that it would not only heal him but also bring him back instantly to his peak. Having the Eternal Oak, Spiritual Herbs, and Spiritual Water brought her triple the results. If she hadn't had the Eternal Oak, it would probably have taken a month to heal Xiang He and three more months for him to regain his health. It just showed how powerful the Eternal Oak's leaves were. She couldn't help but look at Linyu with admiration.
"You're awesome, Yu'er!" She sent a telepathic message to Linyu. She would have given him a hug if it had been just the two of them.
"Uhmm... Thanks?" Linyu had already guessed everything. He suddenly felt shy when he got complimented by his master. Even though he had a master before, they had never communicated like this. He scratched his head, a faint blush appearing on his cheeks. It was a good thing he was wearing a mask.
The Viridis sensed Linyu's mood change, and his brows furrowed. He didn't say anything and just observed. Even though he could sense that Linyu was his King, he didn't know what kind of Herb Linyu was nor his capabilities.
"Wha...What is all this blood?" Xiang He was shocked at the sight in front of him. All he knew was that he couldn't breathe very well earlier and felt like he was choking on something.
"Stand up," Yi Ling commanded, throwing him off guard. Elder Zhen and Xiang He were wide-eyed in surprise.
"Doctor Yi?" Xiang He wasn't sure if he had heard correctly. He had been in bed for almost four years now. One wouldn't be able to heal someone that quickly, no matter how strong that person was!
"Elder Zhen, help him up," Yi Ling instructed, looking at them both with a firm gaze. Elder Zhen was about to say something when Linyu spoke up.
"If you don't believe in my master, you don't deserve to follow him," he said mockingly. Though he hadn't been with his master for long, he was confident in her capabilities. One who can make Mu Xin be on his toes is bound to be something remarkable in this land.
Xiang He looked at the masked man who had just spoken behind Doctor Yi. Both of them hadn't spoken the entire time. At first, he was hesitant, but then again, he thought he might as well try it. He looked at Elder Zhen and said, "Can you help me up, Elder Zhen?" He was still scared of falling down; his muscles shouldn't be able to handle this weight anymore considering how long it had been since he had last used them. But he had already made his bed. If he wanted to get his revenge, he needed to stand up for himself.
Seeing the Crown Prince's resolve, Elder Zhen nodded. The Crown Prince slowly moved his legs towards the edge of the bed. He felt wonderful that he could sense his legs again. Before, all he could feel was numbness. He took a deep breath before he set his foot on the ground.
