—No one but me can completely cure your legs.
These words suddenly exploded in Ouyang Xi's ears, and he abruptly looked up at Fu Bai.
After a long while, he said in a slightly trembling voice, "Is what the Princess said true?"
With a smile in his white eyebrows, he said, "Of course."
His tone was firm and confident, as if he could already see Ouyang Xi standing up again.
It was precisely Fu Bai's confident attitude that prevented Ouyang Xi from having any doubts.
He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Your Highness, please allow me to consider it further."
Fu Bai: "Whatever you say."
After a moment of silence, Ouyang Xi nodded to Fu Bai and then had Shu Yan push him away.
Fu Bai watched as the figures of the master and servant disappeared from sight.
In his mind's eye, 748 scratched his head with his little paws and asked Fu Bai in confusion, "Ouyang Xi clearly believes in your medical skills, so why doesn't he seek treatment from you?"
The nine-tailed fox yawned lazily: "It's the gentleman's steadfastness."
The fox in 748 asked with a bewildered look on its face, "Fu Baibai, why are you asking me about the original plot again? Have you discovered something again?"
Sunflower seeds materialized in front of 748, ready to be enjoyed.
There were no patients at the moment, so Fu Bai was willing to explain to 748.
"Didn't you detect the luck detector on Chu Yimeng last time?"
748: [Yes, she's a transmigrator with a cheat-like advantage!]
Fu Bai then asked, "Do you know what this fortune detector is for?"
748 scratched his head again: [Detecting destiny?]
Fu Bai: "Is there anything else?"
748: QAQ
748: [Fu Baibai, you know perfectly well I'm stupid. If you ask me, I obviously don't know anything.]
It has already accepted the fact that it is a little mentally challenged.
Fu Bai chuckled lightly: "Didn't you just say that you detected residual luck on Ouyang Xi?"
After Fu Bai's reminder, 748 suddenly realized the truth.
748 excitedly exclaimed, "I understand! The Qi Luck Detector can not only detect Qi, but also draw upon Qi to heal people!"
Fu Bai praised it, saying, "Clever, a promising young man!"
748 Hehehe, the mechanical fox puffed out its round little belly, its little face full of pride.
It continued to think for itself.
[While luck can indeed help Ouyang Xi cure his leg ailment, his paralysis isn't entirely due to injury; he was also poisoned.]
The toxins in his body can also absorb vital energy.
Although Chu Yimeng healed Ouyang Xi's leg injury, she did not remove the toxins from his body. In fact, due to his luck, the toxins increased.
[That's not right... the more toxins accumulated, the more likely Ouyang Xi would have already succumbed to the poison.]
Fu Bai picked up the thread: "At first, luck can 'suppress' the toxins in Ouyang Xi's body."
Fu Bai narrowed his eyes and said, "No, to be more precise, the luck allows the toxin to enter a short dormant period. Once the toxin has completely absorbed the luck, it will end its dormancy, and then Ouyang Xi will be poisoned."
【right! 】
In his mind's eye, 748 stomped his foot heavily, and a light bulb suddenly lit up above his head.
[That's why in the original story, Ouyang Xi would visit Chu Yimeng every two weeks, hoping she would help him "suppress" the toxins in his body. Little did he know that Chu Yimeng's method would only worsen his condition.]
[If Ouyang Xi hadn't sought treatment from Chu Yimeng, he would have been paralyzed for life. After seeking Chu Yimeng's help, he might very well have died!]
748 sighed deeply: [No wonder the original plot said that Ouyang Xi died of overwork before he was forty.]
Ouyang Xi didn't die from overwork; he clearly died from poisoning!
After 748 finished speaking, his glassy eyes sparkled as he looked at the nine-tailed fox, with an expression that seemed to be seeking praise.
Fu Bai praised it as he wished: "You're absolutely right."
748 chuckled foolishly.
My scalp is so itchy, it feels like it's growing a brain!

The news that the eldest son of the Marquis of Changting donated one thousand taels of silver to the Chen Family Medical Clinic and that the clinic would erect a monument to express its gratitude quickly spread throughout the capital.
In no time, both the eldest son of the Marquis of Changting's mansion and the Chen family's medical clinic became objects of praise among the people.
Just two days later, many high-ranking officials and dignitaries flocked to Chen's Medical Clinic, offering large sums of money as donations to the clinic for the medical expenses of impoverished people.
Fu Bai accepted the money with a smile and had Nan Xing register it. He also promised to have a plaque of gratitude carved as soon as possible and erected at the entrance of the clinic for the public to admire.
Although the high-ranking officials and nobles donated large sums of money, they gained a good reputation and left Chen's Medical Clinic satisfied.
As they left Chen's Medical Clinic, they could feel the intense gazes of the people fixed upon them.
Under such fervent gazes, these high-ranking officials straightened their backs a little more, and every step they took represented justice.
This money was really well spent!

The Prince Li's mansion was shrouded in darkness.
Fu Bai and Li Jingxing had just finished a vigorous workout. Fu Bai was lying on Li Jingxing's firm chest, panting, his fox-like eyes still brimming with the afterglow of spring.
Li Jingxing's large hands gently caressed Fu Bai's back, all his actions indicating that he was still somewhat unsatisfied.
The two were chatting when they came up with the topic of the gratitude monument at Chen's Medical Clinic, which is now the most popular clinic in the capital.
Fu Bai, seemingly lost in thought, suddenly laughed: "Ouyang Xi is quite a remarkable person."
Li Jingxing raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean?"
Feeling the strength in Li Jingxing's hand, Fu Bai smiled and kissed Li Jingxing's chin: "Who do you think spread the news that I want to erect a monument?"
That day, Ouyang Xi donated one thousand taels of silver, and the matter of erecting a monument was only mentioned to Ouyang Xi's servant. Soon after, the news spread throughout the city.
Aside from Ouyang Xi being the driving force, Fu Bai didn't think of anything else.
Li Jingxing snorted: "He merely understands the implied meaning from the sound of the music."
Why did Fu Bai bring up the matter of erecting a monument in front of Shu Yan?
From the very beginning, Fu Bai hoped that the money for treating the common people would come from the high-ranking officials and nobles.
Ouyang Xi understood Fu Bai's meaning and acted as a promoter, letting those vain and wealthy officials in the capital know that donating money to Chen's Medical Hall would immediately earn them a good reputation among the people.
Moreover, it's clear to anyone with eyes to see that the Tyrant King has been making frequent moves lately, and seems to be no longer lying low.
Ingratiating themselves with the Chen family's medical clinic was also a way of indirectly ingratiating themselves with the Tyrant King.
As a result, these high-ranking officials and nobles flocked to Chen's Medical Clinic, eagerly sending their money there.
Ouyang Xineng immediately understood Fu Bai's meaning and put it into action, proving himself to be a smart person, just as Fu Bai had said.
However, Fu Bai did not argue with Li Jingxing about this point.
He lowered his head and kissed Li Jingxing's lips, smiling reassuringly, "I don't want to discuss other men with you in bed."
Li Jingxing chuckled softly, turned his lover, who was laughing slyly like a fox, over, and began a new round of activity.
