"Why did you bring the princess here?"
Outside the council hall, Chen Bo saw Fu Bai arriving with his guards and frowned, glaring at the guards.
How could he not know the prince's current situation?
Bring the princess here. What if the prince loses control and hurts her?
Before the guard could answer Chen Bo's question, Fu Bai spoke first: "It has nothing to do with him. I was the one who suggested coming over to take a look."
As Fu Bai spoke, he looked at the tightly closed door.
A huge iron lock was hanging on the door, obviously to prevent the King of Li from having a fit of rage and going on a killing spree.
Fu Bai's eyes dimmed slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.
"Is the prince inside?" Fu Bai asked.
Now that everyone had arrived, it was pointless for Uncle Chen to blame the guards any further. He could only say, "Your Highness, the Prince is still in the council hall. You should go back first. He will be fine soon. He asked this old servant to tell you that you don't need to worry."
Fu Bai wasn't about to leave so easily. He said in an unquestionable tone, "Open the door and let me in."
Uncle Chen: "I'm sorry, I can't comply."
Fu Bai repeated coldly, "I can cure it. Open the door."
Chen Bo was about to refuse, but then he realized what Fu Bai had said and for a moment forgot about the hierarchy. He looked up at Fu Bai in surprise and asked, "Your Highness, you said you can cure the Prince's illness?"
“Yes, I can cure it. Open the door quickly,” Fu Bai said decisively.
Chen Bo stared at Fu Bai for a while and saw that Fu Bai's expression was firm and his eyes were filled with an indomitable strength.
After a moment of silence, Uncle Chen said, "Alright, this old servant will open the door for the Princess Consort now."
After saying this, he turned and walked towards the council chamber, unlocking the heavy lock.
Inside the council chamber.
The windows and doors were tightly shut, and black cloth blocked out all light sources, plunging the entire council chamber into complete darkness.
With a soft creak, the door opened from the outside, letting in a sliver of sunlight.
A tall figure sat like a statue on a grand chair, his hair disheveled and his clothes open, revealing his muscular chest.
He sat motionless, his hand supporting his forehead, his eyes tightly closed.
The King of Li appeared to be in a normal state; he was neither shouting and screaming nor slashing wildly with his sword, as if he were asleep in a chair.
But upon closer inspection, one could see the back of his hands, his head, and his face...
Every exposed part of his skin was covered with bulging blue veins, and every muscle in his body was twitching.
Anyone with eyes could see that he was enduring immense pain and fiercely battling the animalistic instincts within him.
Suddenly, his ears twitched as he heard the door open and sensed the sunlight streaming in. He frowned and opened his eyes.
The King of Wrath's eyes were a deep crimson, filled with endless bloodlust, making him look like a wild beast teetering on the edge of rage, ready to open its blood-red maw at any moment and devour all the creatures around it.
"Who told you to open the door?"
When the King of Li spoke, his voice was hoarse and filled with rage. Every word was brimming with murderous intent, sending chills down one's spine.
"It's me."
A clear voice rang out in the silent council hall, like a clear mountain spring, tinkling and flowing into the heart of the King of Li.
The chaotic energy within him seemed to be soothed, and the silent lion slowly raised its head to look at the young man standing against the light.
Reason seems to have returned.
The King of Li forced a smile, the murderous intent in his voice fading, and even a hint of gentle coaxing could be felt: "Fu Bai, be good, go back and wait for me, I'll be fine soon."
Fu Bai ignored what he said and only asked, "Li Jingxing, do you believe me?"
The voice was calm, but the King of Li could hear the stubbornness beneath the calm.
It seems that if he were to say he doesn't believe Fu Bai this time, Fu Bai would never talk to him again.
Without hesitation, the tyrannical king replied, "I believe you."
Fu Bai smiled gently upon hearing this.
"Alright, since you trust me, let me give you a few acupuncture needles."
The King of Li finally understood why Fu Bai had come to see him. He raised his crimson eyes and looked at Fu Bai: "You know medicine?"
Although it was a question, the King of Li's tone showed no surprise whatsoever, as if everything Fu Bai knew was perfectly natural.
Fu Bai did not answer the King of Li's question, but instead walked towards him.
Their steps were firm, without a trace of hesitation or fear.
The smile on the King of Li's lips deepened. He stared at the figure that was backlit yet resolutely walking towards him, and asked knowingly, "Aren't you afraid of me?"
Fu Bai had already walked to the side of the King of Li and, upon hearing this, smiled and asked, "Would you hurt me?"
“I won’t,” the King of Li answered almost without thinking, the answer as if it were etched into his soul. “I will not hurt you, never.”
A bright and beautiful smile appeared on her pale and delicate face: "That's settled then."
748 wept uncontrollably in his ethereal sea of consciousness.
748: Waaaaah, what an amazing love story!
The mechanical fox's face was filled with human-like emotion, but before it could be moved for long, Fu Bai's command came.
"748, scan Li Jingxing's body and see what's going on."
With Fu Bai's medical skills, he could naturally diagnose the King of Li's condition, but it was far less fast and intuitive than 748's scan.
748 is like a modern medical instrument, which can help Fu Bai judge the King's condition in the fastest way.
748 is already very proficient at the human body scanning function.
They mobilized energy to envelop the King of Wrath and began to examine his physical condition.
The King of Li seemed to sense something and looked up at Fu Bai.
Fu Bai has already prepared the gold needles and is sterilizing them.
748 scan complete.
An image was generated in the blank sea of consciousness.
748: [Oh my god, I'm so scared! There's a giant worm in Li Fengfeng's head!]
748: [This giant fleshy worm kept churning in Li Fengfeng's mind; no wonder Li Fengfeng was in so much pain.]
Through the images provided by 748, Fu Bai can clearly see the worm in the brain of the King of Li.
Fu Bai narrowed his eyes: "It's a Gu worm."
He then said to the King of Li, "Turn your head a little."
The King of Li did as he was told, showing complete trust in Fu Bai.
With swift eyes and hands, Fu Bai quickly pierced the acupoint on the King of Li's head with a golden needle. The needle tip sank into the acupoint, and the needle tail emitted a buzzing sound.
The buzzing continued for a long time.
As the number of acupuncture treatments at Fubai increased, the buzzing sound became more frequent and louder, forming a lullaby.
The King of Li felt all the pain in his body recede like a tide, his eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and finally he closed his eyes in trust and fell asleep peacefully.
748 re-scanned the King of Wrath's body and discovered that the giant fleshy worm in his brain had also fallen asleep and seemed to be less fat than before.
748：Σ(⊙▽⊙"a
748 was greatly shocked; 748 couldn't believe it.
[Fu Baibai, are you really a genius? You just flipped through a few medical books and you've become a miracle doctor?!]
