Jing Yulan was extremely anxious and had no choice but to pester the alchemist again to come over.
The alchemist examined Ye Zhan again and his face changed drastically. He quickly asked, "Miss, have you fed him anything these past few days?"
Jing Yulan shook her head and said, "He has been in a coma the whole time. Even if I wanted to feed him something, he would have to be able to eat it!"
"Oh no! He's been poisoned by the Three-Branch Nine-Leaf Grass!"
The alchemist's face turned ashen, because when he examined Ye Zhan last time, he hadn't discovered that Ye Zhan was poisoned by the Three-Branch Nine-Leaf Grass.
"Poison of the Three-Branch Nine-Leaf Grass?"
Jing Yulan asked confusedly, "Is that... a poison?"
The alchemist's face reddened, and he shook his head, "Strictly speaking, the Three-Branch Nine-Leaf Grass is not a poison, but a... a... a..."
He stammered for a long time, but he couldn't utter the two words.
Jing Yulan became anxious and urged, "Master, hurry up and tell me, what exactly is this Three-Branch Nine-Leaf Grass!"
The alchemist gritted his teeth and said, "It's an extremely potent aphrodisiac!"
Aphrodisiac???
Jing Yulan was dumbfounded.
The alchemist explained, "The Three-Branch Nine-Leaf Grass itself can be used in medicine and alchemy, but its pollen has a very strong aphrodisiac effect, no less than the Yin-Yang Union Powder."
"But I don't understand, how could this young man, in his severely injured state, have been poisoned by the Three-Branch Nine-Leaf Grass?"
At this point, the alchemist looked at Jing Yulan meaningfully.
Jing Yulan's pretty face flushed red, and she shook her head, "I don't know either, Master, do you have an antidote?"
The alchemist shook his head and said, "If it were just poisoned, we could still use rosemary grass to guide it out. But this young man has been poisoned for a long time. The toxins have already penetrated his blood and bone marrow, unless..."
The alchemist stopped speaking here.
"Unless what?"
Jing Yulan asked impatiently.
"Miss, if the poison of the Three-Branch Nine-Leaf Grass is not expelled from the body, the victim will explode and die after forty-eight hours."
"And this young man has been poisoned for three days, which means that by this time tomorrow, if the poison is not expelled, there will be no cure!"
Hearing this, Jing Yulan staggered back a few steps and collapsed onto the chair.
With tears in her eyes, she said, "Master, what must I do to save him?"
The alchemist sighed and said, "There is no other way but to achieve Yin-Yang harmony!"
After speaking, he left.
Jing Yulan sat on the chair, her gaze blankly fixed on the unconscious Ye Zhan, and images of their time together flashed through her mind.
From Ye Zhan saving her, to Ye Zhan escorting her home, to her traveling thousands of miles to follow Ye Zhan's footsteps to Scarlet Blood City.
Scene after scene, as if it had happened yesterday.
As night fell, Jing Yulan finally made up her mind and shed her clothes.
...
The next morning, Jing Yulan was the first to open her eyes.
Everything last night felt like a dream, but the pain in a certain part of her body kept reminding her that the dream was real.
"It's a good thing we were going to be married anyway!"
Jing Yulan comforted herself, got out of bed, and put on her clothes.
She touched Ye Zhan's forehead and found that Ye Zhan's condition had returned to normal.
The wound on Ye Zhan's chest had already scabbed over and fallen off, and even his breathing had become much more stable.
Jing Yulan smiled and thought to herself, "Ye Zhan, you must get better quickly, then my sacrifice won't be in vain!"
After speaking, she left the room.
When Jing Yulan came back with a basin of hot water, Ye Zhan had already sat up.
"Clang!"
The basin of water in Jing Yulan's hands fell to the ground.
Hot water splashed onto her body, but she seemed not to feel it.
Jing Yulan's tears flowed before she could speak. She choked for a long time before finally uttering a sound, "You... you... you're awake?"
Ye Zhan's lips trembled. Of the countless words he wanted to say, only a single call came out, "Yulan!"
Jing Yulan cried out "Waa," and in three quick steps, she rushed to the bedside. She cupped Ye Zhan's cheeks with both hands and sobbed, "Ye Zhan, you're awake! I'm not dreaming, am I? Tell me, I'm not dreaming!"
Ye Zhan tenderly held her tightly in his arms, his voice choked with emotion, "Yulan, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for making you worry so much. I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
"Wuwuwu..."
Jing Yulan burst into tears, "Ye Zhan, you scoundrel! You almost scared me to death! Do you know that? If you had really died, what would I have done? Wuwuwu..."
Four days and four nights of worry, the selfless offering of her chastity, the anxious waiting, all of it, at this moment, turned into tears and dissolved into her cries.
Ye Zhan held Jing Yulan tightly and comforted her, "I'm sorry, Yulan. I swear, I will never do this again! Never again!"
They wept in each other's arms.
It is said that men shed no tears easily, yet Ye Zhan was shedding tears profusely at this moment.
It is said that women are made of water, and Jing Yulan was the best proof of this saying at this moment.
After a long while, Jing Yulan finally stopped crying and struggled out of Ye Zhan's embrace. She said, "You rest for a while, I'll go prepare something for you to eat!"
Saying this, she was about to get up and leave.
Ye Zhan grabbed her hand and said, "Yulan, you've worked hard these past few days!"
Jing Yulan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said with a tearful smile, "As long as you're awake, all the hardship is worth it!"
"Yulan, it's so good to have you!" Ye Zhan said sincerely.
Jing Yulan smiled and left the room, using the inn's kitchen to prepare some food for Ye Zhan.
Although after cultivating to the Great God Realm, one wouldn't feel hungry even if they didn't eat for days, Ye Zhan was severely injured now, and supplementing him with some nutrition and energy was necessary.
Ye Zhan watched Jing Yulan's retreating figure, a happy smile curving the corner of his lips.
Then, he closed his eyes and began to circulate his energy to heal his wounds.
He had initially thought that his injuries were very severe, but when he started circulating his energy to heal, he discovered that his internal injuries had already healed by thirty percent.
"What is going on?"
Ye Zhan was very confused but did not dwell on it. He quickly calmed his mind and focused intently on healing his wounds.
He naturally did not know that thirty percent of his injuries had healed because of the soul fusion between Jing Yulan and him.
In fact, the alchemist had omitted a detail.
Although the pollen of the Three-Branch Nine-Leaf Grass had aphrodisiac effects, after Yin-Yang union, it would stimulate the healing functions of the Three-Branch Nine-Leaf Grass. Sudan Novel Network.
An hour later, Jing Yulan came in with a bowl of spiritual porridge, and Ye Zhan's injuries had healed by fifty percent.
Ye Zhan opened his eyes and gently called out, "Yulan!"
