Chu Yi, who was in a deep sleep, was unusually quiet. His face was pale and bloodless. His hands were so thin that you could see the blue veins. They were just bones and so fragile that they would break at the slightest touch.
Despite Nan Zhi channeling a lot of true energy, Chu Yi's complexion did not improve at all.
Those bursts of internal energy seemed like a drop in the ocean, utterly ineffective.
Even so, she did not give up and continued to forcefully transfer her internal energy to him.
She was already experiencing a dull ache in her lower abdomen, but she ignored it.
After the last dose, she vomited a mouthful of blood, fainted for a while, and then woke up to continue receiving the infusion.
At this moment, her true energy had been almost completely depleted, making it easy for anyone to kill her if they wanted to.
The divine physician Zhou endured the ordeal for a full four hours; he hadn't expected that Nanzhi would also have to transfer her inner energy for four hours.
In fact, by the third hour, Chu Yi's body temperature was no longer so cold, and his heartbeat had calmed down a bit.
But she seemed to have some kind of obsession, and kept losing.
When she had no more true energy to transfer, she took a forbidden drug used in the martial arts world to enhance true energy cultivation, but which could easily damage the body's internal organs. Without any hesitation, she continued to transfer the drug to Chu Yi.
When Doctor Zhou entered, her eyes and ears were already bleeding.
"My God, how come you're still losing!"
Doctor Zhou hurriedly told Ye Ren to pull her away, and he also put down his medicine bowl to take Chu Yi's pulse.
Chu Yi's complexion had become much rosier, and Doctor Zhou was greatly surprised by the change in him.
Instead of rushing to feed the medicine to Chu Yi, he took Nan Zhi's hand.
Nan Zhi wanted to shake him off, but at that moment she was too weak to even lift her sword.
She could only grit her teeth and threaten, "Save him!"
“What’s there to save? He can live for another year without the spirit rhinoceros horn.” Doctor Zhou grabbed her, finally showing some backbone. “On the contrary, if you don’t save him, he’ll die soon.”
He picked up the Lingxi Horn, intending to make her drink it, but Nanzhi was breathing heavily in discomfort. The blood in the corner of her eye made her feel unwell, and her whole body ached. Despite this, she still managed to push the bowl of medicine away with all her might.
"I asked you to save him..."
The renowned doctor Zhou couldn't understand why she was being so stubborn: "He's not in a hurry, you drink first, don't die before him."
Nanzhi still refused, her hands trembling as she reached for the sword at her waist. "You want... to... die, don't you?"
Normally, Doctor Zhou would have already backed down, but at this moment, he silently watched as Nanzhi drew her sword.
She tried to pull it out for a long time but couldn't. Finally, she spat out a mouthful of blood in front of him.
Before fainting, she pointed at him and threatened, "If you don't save him, I'll haunt you as a ghost... I'll haunt you even as a ghost... you dog's life!"
Doctor Zhou: ...
I'm speechless. How did he end up with these two stubborn guys?!
After Nanzhi fainted, Doctor Zhou was about to force-feed her the medicine when Ye Ren stopped him.
"Save my master!"
If only one can survive, it can only be his master.
As for Nan Zhi, Ye Ren will keep it from Chu Yi and tell him that she has never been here.
Seeing that he was like that too, Doctor Zhou was so angry he laughed.
"There's still some medicine on the stove outside. Go get it. Take as many bowls as you want, is that alright?"
Nightblade frowned: "What do you mean?"
"Idiot!" Doctor Zhou cursed through gritted teeth, "What I mean is, there's enough medicine to save both of them at the same time, do you understand?"
Nightblade was completely stunned.
So the medicine that the two of them kept passing around could actually save both of them at the same time?
If that's the case, then wouldn't the master's previous sins have been in vain?
Nightblade went outside to fetch the medicine. After Doctor Zhou fed Nanzhi a bowl of medicine, he was also looking forward to the effects of the rhinoceros horn. So he dragged her away and took her back to his room, casually throwing her onto the bed board she had slept on before, and kept a close eye on her condition.
He was extremely curious whether the medicinal properties of the rhinoceros horn were as miraculous as the legends claimed.
But after waiting for most of the night, apart from her pulse becoming more stable and her inner energy becoming more concentrated, he didn't discover anything particularly powerful.
He was getting old and couldn't stay up so many nights. He couldn't wait to see any other reactions, so he went to his room to sleep.
I thought I'd check on it the next morning, but when I went to check again the next day, Nan Zhi had vanished.
He thought she had run off to Chu Yi's place, so he rushed over to check on her.
But I didn't see anyone.
When asked, Nightblade silently shook his head.
The doctor's expression looked rather grim.
"Could he have died outside?"
Last night, in the dead of night, did her injuries worsen, and fearing that she might die here and be punished by him for her corpse, she ran outside and died?
The more Dr. Zhou thought about it, the more likely it seemed, so he went out to search again with a serious face.
He actually disliked Nan Zhi quite a bit; she was always stealing his things and threatening or scaring him.
But this guy once saved his life.
"Where on earth did this guy go?" Doctor Zhou muttered to himself as he left.
As Nightblade listened to his mutterings, he seemed to realize something and subconsciously looked at Chu Yi on the bed.
Chu Yi's pulse was becoming stronger and stronger, largely thanks to the true energy of Nan Zhi Du, whose effects of the spirit rhinoceros horn had not yet been fully realized.
Could it be that the spirit rhinoceros horn had no effect at all, and Nan Zhi overexerted too much of her true energy and died?
He felt a slight tremor in his heart when he thought of the horrific sight of her bleeding eyes and ears when he came in yesterday.
He had always thought that in the emotional entanglement between his master and her, his master was the one who had given the most, but Nan Zhi's performance yesterday moved him deeply.
But if she really dies, will the master be able to bear it when he wakes up and finds out?
When Chu Yi woke up, it was already broad daylight.
He felt refreshed and relaxed, no longer feeling tired. Even more surprisingly, he could see the world in front of him without being blindfolded.
Although it was still somewhat blurry, the vanished light reappeared in his world.
What happened?
Is it a final burst of energy before death?
He rubbed his temples, still thinking everything that happened last night was just a dream, and asked a dark figure standing not far away, "Has Nightblade returned?"
The dark figure replied, "Master, your subordinate has returned."
He heard the familiar voice, looked up, and his gaze gradually focused.
He clearly hadn't realized anything yet. When he saw Nightblade return, his expression shifted slightly. "Did you bring the things back?"
Nightblade shook his head. "No."
Chu Yi frowned. "Why?"
Chu Yi had considered that the Eastern Palace was heavily guarded and that Nightblade couldn't enter the dark room, but he never thought there might be any other reason.
“Master…” Nightblade was silent for a moment, but still told the truth, “I met her in the dark room.”
Thinking of last night, Chu Yi's eyes trembled as she stared intently at him, "...And then?"
"Then she came here with me. She gave you the rhinoceros horn to cure your illness and also channeled a lot of her inner energy into you. Now she... I don't know where she went..."
Before Nightblade could finish speaking, Chu Yi suddenly stood up and strode outside.
