Jin Zijin had completely passed out, his body alarmingly hot, like a tinder ready to burst into flames at any moment.
On Gu Youyou's end, she had already tended to her wounds, which were not deep, and after applying medicine, they had begun to heal.
Sitting by the bed, Gu Youyou had figured out Jin Zijin's condition.
Clinically, aside from the persistent high fever, his symptoms were no different from an ordinary fever sickness.
But according to Yue Rujing, he was poisoned by the Flame Pond Fire Lotus, so it probably wasn't as simple as an ordinary fever sickness.
That night, Gu Youyou stayed by his side while Yue Rujing was busy fetching water to cool him down, but it seemed to have no effect.
After a night of burning, boils started to appear on his arms, a manifestation of heat toxin syndrome coming from within to the surface.
