Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 98

Chapter 098 Snow Lotus Fruit
Bai Junzhuo suddenly heard someone shouting behind him. He turned around and saw a middle-aged woman rushing over with a hoe.

She hurriedly ran onto the ridge of the field and hid behind Yin Xun, saying to the woman, “Big sister, put down the hoe first. We have something to talk about!”

The eldest sister didn’t listen to her and chased after her with a hoe. She shouted, “I actually dared to steal the Holy Fruit! I’ll cut you to death!”

“No, no, we didn’t intend to take it for nothing. We intend to leave the bank notes behind!” Just as Bai Junzhuo finished shouting, Yin Xun took out a banknote and handed it to the woman. The woman stared at the banknote, her eyes gathered together. After a moment of hesitation, she smiled and accepted the banknote.

When Bai Junzhuo saw that she didn’t hit him anymore, he dared to poke his head out and ask, “Big sister, what kind of sweet potatoes do you have? Why are they so big?”

The peasant woman glared at her and pointed at the item in her hand. “This is not sweet potatoes, it is the Snow Lotus Holy Fruit that can cure all diseases.”

Yin Xun sneered and interrupted, “Isn’t the snow lotus a purple-brown flower growing on Tianshan Mountain? Why did it turn into a snow lotus fruit?”

‘”Young Master, you’re talking about the Snow Lotus of the Tianshan Mountains. This is the Snow Lotus Fruit planted in our family.” The farmer woman said proudly, “Three years ago, my husband saved a dying girl. That girl gave my husband a sapling of the Snow Lotus Fruit. I thought that girl was lying to us. I didn’t expect that the sapling would grow a field the next year if I threw it into the ground.”

Bai Junzhuo revealed a surprised expression, “Really?”

“Of course it’s true! At first, I thought it was sweet potatoes, so I didn’t pull them out. I didn’t expect that they would grow bigger and taller than humans. When they are ripe, they will taste very different from sweet potatoes!” The woman suddenly lowered her voice and said mysteriously, “So, the girl my husband saved that year must have been a Heavenly Maiden who descended to the mortal world, leaving behind a seed from the heavens!”

Bai Junzhuo exclaimed. What a good story. This Heavenly Maiden must be similar to Miss Tian Luo or Miss Swan.

The peasant woman folded the silver notes Yin Xun had given her and put them in her arms. She pointed at the two of them and said, “So these hundred silver notes are not expensive to sell for one of your snow lotus fruits!”

Bai Junzhuo couldn’t help but chuckle and ask, “Big sister, this thing of yours is so expensive. Is there anyone else who can buy it besides us?”

“Of course, no one will buy them in this small village. When they mature in two days, our family will bring them to the Imperial City and sell them to high officials!”

“What’s the use of eating the Snow Lotus Sacred Fruit?” Bai Junzhuo asked again, “Is it to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, or to stop bleeding and produce muscles?”

“Longevity prolongation, resurrection from the dead!” The eldest sister proudly said, “Last year, my mother-in-law was so sick that she almost died. After eating a few snow lotus fruits, she recovered. Now, she can go down to work!”

Bai Jun smiled and remained silent. He looked at Big Sister’s expression and movements. She was very professional and moving. In modern times, she was definitely an expert in advertising. To endorse that certain brand of calcium tablet, she could play 36 rounds of mahjong without blinding her head. She could even carry a gas tank to the sixth floor.

After the peasant woman finished her propaganda, she left happily with a hundred taels of silver.

Bai Junzhuo dug up a few more Snow Lotus Holy Fruits and stuffed them into Yin Xun’s mouth. “You’ve given him so much money,” he said. “Let’s just take a few more.”

Yin Xun stood there quietly and took the sweet potatoes for Bai Junzhuo. When Bai Junzhuo felt that it was enough, he came up from the field and pulled the snow lotus leaves clean. All the snow lotus fruits were put into a small bag on the horse’s stomach. Then, he handed one to Yin Xun and said, “Eat.”

Yin Xun lowered his head and cast a glance at it. He shook his head gently and said, “No need.”

“Don’t forget it.” Bai Junzhuo took the snow lotus fruit back, took out a knife from his bag, peeled off the peel, and led the horse to eat.

Just as he took a bite, Bai Junzhuo frowned slightly. However, he stretched out his eyebrows and asked Yin Xun with a smile, “So this is really not a sweet potato. It’s crisp and tender. It’s much better than a sweet potato! Are you sure you don’t want to eat it?”

Yin Xun glanced at her with the corner of his eyes, then suddenly turned his head and took a bite on her snow lotus fruit.

Bai Junzhuo stood awkwardly on the spot. It took him a while to regain his senses and said to Yin Xun with anger, “There’s something in the bag. Why are you eating mine?”

“There’s no peeling in the bag,” Yin Xun explained indifferently. “And it’s all mud. It’s dirty to death.”

“Don’t you know how to peel yourself without peeling?” Bai Jun glared at her.

“Yes,” Yin Xun nodded and said, “but I am your master. You should peel off my skin for me.”

He had moved his identity out again. This person was getting more and more shameless!

Yin Xun did not seem to notice her gaze. He lowered his head to look at the snow lotus fruit and took another bite.

“You!”

When Bai Jun Zhao saw that he was going too far, he was stunned for a moment, then he took a big bite of the Snow Lotus Fruit and swallowed the whole fruit in a few mouthfuls. He puffed his cheeks and glared at him, coupled with her delicate and delicate face, how funny it was to look at it.

Yin Xun endured the laughter and patted her head gently. “Sometimes, it’s just like a child.”

Bai Junzhuo swallowed everything with great difficulty and said to him, “I just sometimes, but you are like a child all the time!”

Yin Xun did not argue with her. He smiled and said, “Finish your meal. Get on your horse and hurry.”

Bai Junzhuo snorted and got on the horse. Yin Xun also got on the horse, and the two of them walked side by side unhurriedly.

At this moment, about two minutes later, the early autumn sunshine would not be too sunny, but Bai Junzhuo felt very hot ever since she got on the horse. She looked up at the sun and became more and more dizzy. Her head seemed to weigh a thousand kilograms.

She shook her head forcefully. It should be because she was too tired.

Yin Xun noticed that there was something wrong with her behavior. He turned to look at her and saw that her face was pale and beads of sweat trickled down her forehead. “Hey, what’s wrong with you? Aren’t you too tired?” He said with concern.

Bai Junzhuo smiled at him. Just as she was about to say that she was fine, she felt dizzy. Her eyes darkened and she fell off her horse.

Fortunately, Yin Xun was quick to react and jumped off his horse to hug her. This embrace reassured her, so she fell asleep.

When he woke up again, Bai Junzhuo opened his eyes and saw Yin Xun’s enlarged face leaning in front of him, his brows furrowed enough to kill several mosquitoes.

“You’re finally awake. What happened just now?” Seeing her open her eyes, Yin Xun immediately asked.

She slowly regained consciousness and noticed that she was lying in his arms. She struggled to sit up, but her body did not have the slightest bit of strength.

“Don’t move,” Yin Xun ordered coldly. “Answer me honestly, or I’ll throw you out to feed the wolf!”

“Feed the wolf?” Bai Junzhuo frowned and weakly said, “Why is there a wolf? Where is this?”

“Seeing that you suddenly fainted, I wanted to take you to a doctor in a nearby county, but after walking for a long time, I didn’t see anyone smoking. This is a broken temple in the wilderness.”

Bai Junzhuo sized up the ruined temple, nodded, and asked, “What time is it now?”

“It’s not noon.”

“How long before we reach Nanyang City?”

“If you’re fine, within three days.”

“Three days” Bai Junzhuo calculated in his heart and nodded, “Then let’s hurry up and leave. Aren’t you in a hurry to see my cousin and get the scroll?”

Yin Xun said slowly with a cold face, “I told you honestly, tell me what happened to you. Otherwise, you won’t be able to go anywhere!”

Bai Junzhuo tilted his eyes, neither answering nor looking at him.

“Could it be that the snow lotus fruit you ate just now was poisonous?” Yin Xun guessed, “Follow me back. If that peasant woman doesn’t take out the medicine to save you, I’ll kill her!”

“Don’t act recklessly, it has nothing to do with this thing!”

Bai Junzhuo hurriedly stopped him. Seeing Yin Xun’s serious gaze, he could only confess honestly, “Alright, that’s right. It’s just the two poisons that Mysterious Maiden gave me before. It’s just poisoned.”

“Why is it poisoned? Could it be that you really can’t cure this poison yourself?”

Bai Junzhuo hesitated for a while before nodding slowly, “That’s right, so I also want to find my cousin quickly and ask him for the scroll to see if there is really a prescription on it that can cure all kinds of poisons and diseases.”

“Then let’s continue on our journey now. Is your body able to endure it?” Yin Xun’s eyes were filled with worry.

Bai Junzhuo nodded and shook his head. “According to my calculations, I shouldn’t have poisoned myself at this time. Perhaps it’s because I’ve been too tired these past two days. I can’t die for the time being, but I don’t seem to have the strength to continue on my journey.”

“Then what should we do?”

Bai Junzhuo blinked his eyes and asked, “Is there really no home nearby?”

Yin Xun nodded.

“Then go out and close the temple gate.” Bai Junzhuo struggled to sit up and said to Yin Xun.

Yin Xun was puzzled, “What are you going to do?”

“I’m going to give myself an injection. This is the best way to suppress the toxicity.” Bai Junzhuo replied and pointed out the door. “I want to take off my clothes when I apply the needles, so you go out.”

Yin Xun’s expression was a little complicated as he asked with uncertainty, “You can insert a needle into yourself? Can you really do it?”

Bai Junzhuo took out a mirror from his bag and said, “I have this. I can do it.”

“Just use this thing?” Yin Xun still didn’t believe it, “Give me a look at Fengfu acupoint.”

Bai Junzhuo thought for a moment and frowned, “Damn it, to prick the acupoints on the back, you need two mirrors. I only brought one.”

“Even if there were two mirrors, you wouldn’t be able to pierce the acupoints on your back, right?” Yin Xun raised his eyebrows and said, “Give me a prick.”

Bai Junzhuo thought about it carefully and hesitated, “It seems like I really can’t pierce it.”

Yin Xun had a helpless expression on his face as he said to Bai Junzhuo unwillingly, “Since that’s the case, I’ll help you reluctantly. Tell me what acupuncture point you want to prick.”

As he spoke, Yin Xun reached out and took off Bai Junzhuo’s clothes.

Bai Junzhuo hurriedly tightened his collar and shook his head repeatedly, “No, no, that man and woman are not kissing each other. Don’t…”

Yin Xun said calmly, “I’ll give you the needle. I’m a doctor. I remember a little white dog telling me not long ago that there were no men and women in the doctor’s eyes, only patients.”

The movements of his hands did not slow down in the slightest. Seeing that Bai Junzhuo was still resisting, he pointed his finger like the wind and pointed at the acupoints around her body, preventing her from moving.
