"What's wrong with him, Mu Yun?"
Mu Chen and Xiao Yue were in a hut. Huo Wu and Lin Zhe Tian were sitting near a bed. Lin Feng's face was as dark as if he were dead. It was impossible to tell if he was dead or alive.
There was a woman in a white dress on the other side of the table, her Qi extremely pure. She had beautiful thick black hair. She was wearing an emerald jade hairpin, but her face was extremely pale when she took Lin Feng's pulse.
The woman was Mu Yun. Long ago, Lin Feng had met her in a small tribe in the desert. She was kind and gentle. Now, she had become the best doctor in the whole Continent of the Nine Clouds. Therefore, when something happened to Lin Feng, Mu Chen brought him ten thousand li away to Mu Yun.
Initially, Mu Yun didn't save people and almost never went out. She usually sent her disciples when someone asked her for help. But when Mu Chen told her Lin Feng was in danger, she came out personally. Many of her disciples wondered why she decided to act personally for the man called Lin Feng; what kind of relationship did they have?
At that moment, Mu Chen seemed extremely worried. She took her long and slender white hand back and slowly stood up. She glanced at Lin Feng with love. Huo Wu immediately noticed it. She was a bit angry; Lin Feng had even more wives in his own world, it seemed!
But Lin Feng might be dead now, so Huo Wu quickly forgot about her jealousy. She just wanted Lin Feng to wake up!
Mu Yun turned around and glanced at Huo Wu. She was a bit surprised, but only a little. She said to Mu Chen, "Lin Feng has been poisoned."
"What? Poisoned? By what? By whom?" When Mu Chen heard that, he was astonished first, and then angry.
"Did Fu Su Rong poison him? I'll go to him!" said Huo Wu suddenly. She was furious and clenched her fists. She wanted to avenge Lin Feng, but Mu Yun stopped her and said, "Sister, the poison is not a few days old. It's very old."
"What do you mean?" Huo Wu frowned and looked at Mu Yun.
"What's an old poison, then?" asked Mu Chen.
Mu Yun smiled and pointed at Lin Feng's lower abdomen. A light flickered, and black fog was visible, constricting Lin Feng's circulatory system. Everybody was stupefied when they saw it.
"Eh, that's…?" Lin Zhe Tian couldn't help but think of something. His expression suddenly changed drastically.
"Nephew, what's wrong?" asked Mu Chen to Zhe Tian.
Lin Zhe Tian looked furious.
He ground his teeth and shouted furiously, "Fucking Di Shu! You're dead and you continue making my dad's life a sheer hell! AAAARRRRGHHHHHHHHH!!"
"Zhe Tian, what you mean is…?" Huo Wu also thought of something.
"Back then, when Father participated in the Great Competition of Gods City, Di Shu poisoned him. It was a poison pill, but Father refined it and then he was fine. I thought everything was over… I didn't think that…" said Lin Zhe Tian, clenching his fists. His phalanges crackled loudly, and his eyes were filled with hate. He wished he could make Di Shu suffer eternally.
"After Lin Feng refined the pill, it wasn't dangerous anymore. However, he used it for various purposes and as his strength increased, the poison slowly and almost invisibly spread throughout his circulatory system. The poison fused together with his blood. Luckily, thanks to Lin Feng's special forbidden body, the poison didn't spread too quickly. That's why it's just condensed in his lower abdomen.
"But if we don't remove the poison quickly enough, it may have serious consequences on Lin Feng's future," said Mu Yun gravely.
Everybody was even more worried. Huo Wu and Lin Zhe Tian's eyes were filled with hate. Damn Di Shu! His plot hadn't stopped. This was probably the cruelest thing he had prepared against Lin Feng. That poison pill he had forgotten about had suddenly turned into a dangerous time bomb.
"What should we do now?" asked Jing Xiao Yue. She considered Lin Feng a brother-in-law, so she was worried about his safety.
"There's only one solution for the time being. We have to keep the poison under control, but as I see it, we can do it only for half a year. After that, the poison will continue spreading, so we have to find a solution within that time frame," Mu Yun explained seriously.
She used to love Lin Feng; she was bewitched by him because he was heroic, strong, and he had saved her. However, with time, she had given up that kind of love and passion; she had understood that a less intense kind of love was more reasonable, and letting go was important. It was the only way to be loved in a similar way.
"So we have no time to lose," said Lin Zhe Tian. They had to solve the issue as soon as possible!
But Mu Yun turned red and lowered her head. She didn't know what to do.
"What's wrong? Is there any particular difficulty?" asked Huo Wu when she saw Mu Yun's face. Even though she didn't like the idea of another woman being with Lin Feng, the situation was too serious to focus on that. They had to focus on Lin Feng's safety.
"To remove the poison, we need… we need…" began Mu Yun, reddening even more.
"What do we need?" asked Huo Wu. She was extremely nervous. What was wrong with Mu Yun? How could she act like this, even though it was a matter of life and death?
"We need…" Mu Yun walked to Huo Wu and whispered something in her ear. Huo Wu blushed. The others wondered what they were talking about.
"Do we really need to do that?" asked Huo Wu. Her heartbeat sped right up. She had never done that before. She was extremely embarrassed.
The others were puzzled, what were the two women talking about? But when they saw them blush, they understood something, especially Jing Xiao Yue; it made her giggle.
"There's no other choice," Mu Yun nodded. No matter what, it had to be done; it was a matter of life and death.
"Eh…." Huo Wu's cheeks burned with embarrassment.
"Have you never…?" Mu Yun asked Huo Wu.
"I… No… Never," said Huo Wu, lowering her head and blushing.
Mu Yun smiled, but she quickly looked normal again and said to Huo Wu, "Don't be shy. You're his wife. You can remove the poison. You're the best choice."
"I'll tell you the details outside, including the acupuncture points, intensity, and so forth. You already have the strength of the Godly Emperor Layer, so it shouldn't be a problem," said Mu Yun. She took out a small box from her ring. It was filled with vitality. She opened the box; there was a silver needle inside.
"Go," said Mu Yun to Huo Wu. Huo Wu took a deep breath and looked at Lin Feng. She had no choice.
"All the men, get out," ordered Mu Yun.
Mu Chen and Lin Zhe Tian nodded and left. Only Jing Xiao Yue, Mu Yun, and Huo Wu were left in the room.
"Put a curtain in front of the bed," said Mu Yun told Jing Xiao Yue.
Jing Xiao Yue nodded. She left the room and few minutes later, came back with a golden curtain. She put it around Lin Feng's bed so nobody could see what was going on in there.
"Go," Mu Yun smiled at Huo Wu. Huo Wu blushed and nodded. Then she hesitantly walked towards the bed.
"Take off his clothes," Mu Yun instructed Huo Wu. "Put him straight on the bed in front of you. Take out the silver needle."
