Chapter 239: Using His Body to Nourish Poison

The group came to the cave that Si Nan spoke of, and the environment was indeed quiet.

Lou Mu Yan walked over to the two people who were still in a coma and took their pulses. Then she pierced them with a few golden needles, and only then did the pained expressions on the two gradually ease, and their complexions became rosy.

“Lou Mu Yan, you know how to heal people too?” Luo Li looked at Lou Mu Yan in surprise.  

He had only heard that she could refine pills, but he had never seen it before. Now that he saw her being able to use a few needles to restore the spirit of the two sluggish Sword Masters, he couldn’t resist having a thought.

Lou Mu Yan took back the golden needles, “Yeah!”

“Then can you cure eye diseases?” Luo Li asked impatiently. There was always a voice in his heart that told him to believe Lou Mu Yan.

Hearing Luo Li’s words, Luo Ye’s body froze. Only Lou Mu Yan noticed this movement.

“It depends on what kind of eye disease it is. The one you’re asking about isn’t easy to cure.” Lou Mu Yan replied without concealing after pondering for a bit.

Luo Li’s eyes revealed shock, “You—You know what I’m asking about?”

Luo Ye’s relaxed body froze again. Could it be that Lou Mu Yan discovered his secret?

“Mm. He suffers from an acquired eye disease due to a skill. It can be cured, but now isn’t the time.” Lou Mu Yan was always observing Luo Ye’s blindness. Although she didn’t take his pulse, but she already knew the answer inwardly.

Luo Li grabbed Lou Mu Yan’s arm and asked nervously: “Why isn’t it time?”

“Because to treat this kind of eye disease, you need to concoct a type of eye drop for treatment, and I don’t have the Spiritual Herbs to concoct it.” Lou Mu Yan shrugged.

“What kind of spiritual herbs do you need?” Luo Li asked, pressing his lips together.

Lou Mu Yan raised her eyes and looked at Luo Ye. She found that his emotions weren’t as calm as he appeared. She thought for a while, then said: “I’ll give you a list later.”

“Sure!” Luo Li seemed to be relieved, then asked cautiously: “How did you know?”

“Do you believe me if I say I’m a divine doctor?” Lou Mu Yan chuckled and raised an eyebrow.

Seeing her smile like a flower, Luo Li’s heart thumped: “Believe!”

Although Lou Mu Yan was a cunning and black-bellied woman, but she wouldn’t joke around with such serious things. It seemed that she indeed saw through Eldest Brother’s illness herself.

He couldn’t resist looking forward to it inwardly. If Lou Mu Yan really was a divine doctor, then did that mean Eldest Brother’s blindness could be cured?

“What sign language are you using, who has an eye disease?” Si Nan had never seen Luo Li lose his composure like this, and after hearing these two talk, he was mostly confused, so he leaned over to ask.

Luo Li pushed him away in disgust, “Shameless bastard, what does it matter to you?”

However, he also stopped discussing with Lou Mu Yan. Since she knew about Elder Brother’s situation, then he would ask her when there was no one else.

“Tsk, I’m just asking, forget it.” He rolled his eyes at Luo Li, then walked to Lou Mu Yan’s side and sat down. He looked at her with his androgynous face and asked with a smile: “Little beauty, since you’re a divine doctor, how about taking a look at me?”

Lou Mu Yan looked at him without understanding, then smiled lightly and reached out to check his pulse. Originally, she was just checking casually, but then her face grew more solemn.

“How is it?” Si Nan actually knew about his own situation, but he didn’t really expect Lou Mu Yan to know.

Lou Mu Yan retrieved her hand and wiped it with a handkerchief, causing Si Nan’s lips to twitch. He took a bath every day alright.

“Congratulations to you for having a body filled with blood that’s invulnerable to hundreds of poisons.” Lou Mu Yan said congratulations on the surface, but her voice didn’t really sound congratulatory.

Si Nan’s eyes widened, “You can even figure this out?”

“Shameless bastard, Lou Mu Yan already said she was a divine doctor.” Luo Li believed every word that Lou Mu Yan said from the bottom of his heart.

“I didn’t expect the little beauty to really be a divine doctor.” Si Nan laughed dryly and asked: “Can my blood cure poisons?”

“It depends on what kind of poison.” Lou Mu Yan replied.

“What if it’s the Water Illusion Nether Dream?” Si Nan’s eyes revealed a hint of caution, then asked after a while.

The expression on Lou Mu Yan’s face changed, “In order to cure the Water Illusion Nether Dream, you raised yourself into a poisonous person?”

“Can it really cure it?” Si Nan’s expression was a little grave and excited.

“It’s hard to say.” Lou Mu Yan paused, then continued: “It depends on how many years the person has been poisoned, as well as their physique. If the poisoned time is too long, the poisonous blood in your body might be a little uncertain.”

“Ten years?” Si Nan’s eyes flashed with pain.

After Lou Mu Yan interacted with Si Nan these days, this was the first time that she found that this man with a poisonous tongue and a frivolous personality could show this kind of emotion, “If the body was originally a strong man, then ten years should be fine, but if it were a woman who was poisoned ten years ago, then even if your blood is completely mature after a period of time, it will still be difficult to cure. At least it will be life-threatening.”

Lou Mu Yan just felt that the person Si Nan was talking about should be a woman who was very important to him, so she didn’t conceal it.

Si Nan clenched his hands tightly, and the blue veins on the back of his hands popped, “Then is there a way to reduce the danger?”

“The specific situation can’t be told until I see the patient.” Lou Mu Yan said with a serious expression: “Those that are poisoned with the Water Illusion Nether Dream usually fall into a deep sleep. If they’re poisoned for more than ten years, then the vitality in their body will also be lost in the ten years. Using the poisonous blood in you that has become perfected can cure it, but it could also infect them with other poisons.”

Hearing Lou Mu Yan’s sincere words, the last doubt in Si Nan’s heart also dissipated, as if grabbing onto a life-saving straw, “If you see the patient, can you cure it?”

“If they haven’t died, then I have nine-tenths of certainty to cure it.” Lou Mu Yan still had this confidence.

Si Nan’s eyes lit up, scorching, “How about you go to Rui’an Kingdom after the competition? As long as you can save her, no matter what conditions you want, I will promise it all.”

“Can I ask who she is to you?” Lou Mu Yan just thought that Si Nan should have been a cold and distant person but seeing that he was even willing to use his body to nourish poison to cure another, she couldn’t help but be slightly moved.

“She’s my Imperial Concubine Mother.” Si Nan’s voice was a little hoarse and he lacked his usual slovenly and frivolous attitude.

Lou Mu Yan was startled. Seeing that Si Nan’s expressions and emotions didn’t seem to be fake, it was as if she had a new-found understanding of him, and she was impressed. This man’s slovenly attitude was probably also just a cover to conceal his true nature.

“Alright. If you’re still alive after the competition, I’ll go with you.” Lou Mu Yan nodded.

Although Rui’an Kingdom was in the Northern Region, but it wasn’t too far from Yan’zhou Kingdom. Si Nan was a member of the Imperial Family. If she helped him, she may get involved in a lot of trouble, but helping him was definitely also beneficial to the Lou Clan.

And the rarest thing to come by was the pure and innocent heart of a newborn1. No matter how capricious Si Nan was, but using his own body to nourish poison, disregarding his life just to cure his mother, this filial piety deserved her respect.

Although she, Lou Mu Yan, wasn’t some good person, but back in the mortal world when she learnt medical skills from the divine doctor, she also learnt the benevolence of doctors.

Si Nan raised an eyebrow: “What do you mean by as long as I’m still alive, you’ll accompany me?”

Was this woman cursing him to death? Shouldn’t the person who should be most worried about whether they could live, or die be herself?

1an idiom meaning that Si Nan has a sincere heart with whole-hearted devotion, like newborn babies who have not yet been ‘tainted’. Something like that.
