Chapter 171 "My Lady Saint, are your eyesight not good?
[Host, why are you unwilling to reveal your appearance to Sheng Jieyue? ]
The system actually didn’t quite understand Sheng Ran’s inner thoughts.
Now that my appearance has been restored, why should I hide it and let that group of people bully me?
Sheng Ran said, "Being scolded won't hurt me. It's not true that I'm ugly, and I won't take Sheng Jieyue's attacks to heart."
[What I’m worried about is… my current face is the same face I had in my previous life.]
She had a premonition that Sheng Jieyue and Situ Yu were related to her tragic death in her previous life.
Perhaps there is a certain cause and effect cycle between the two lives.
Sheng Ran had even guessed that their appearances had changed, so she had never been able to recognize them; and now her face had recovered to the same level as in her previous life. If she were to be exposed in front of them - this would definitely not be a good thing.
She still tried her best to protect herself with the label of "ugly woman".
"You don't have to call me fairy, just call me Miss Sheng." Sheng Ran told the people in the west of the city, "But, after drinking my medicine, have you really felt any better?"
"Yes! As long as everyone drinks the tea grass you sent, their symptoms will be more or less alleviated!"
"The Black Death shows no signs of spreading anymore. It seems to have been contained to a certain extent!"
As the people around talked about this, they immediately gathered around.
Someone stuffed a roasted sweet potato hidden in their arms into her arms, and someone handed her some dried wild chrysanthemums. "Drinking this flower in water can improve your eyesight. You stay up late every day delivering medicine, so you need some nourishment!"
Sheng Ran accepted the gift with a smile, put on coarse cloth gloves and began to sort the herbs.
Zhu Jiuyin squatted aside, using the small flame on his fingertips to disinfect the mortar. His movements were clumsy but serious.
Yun Ling and Huai Jun used their wind and water abilities respectively to assist and look up at Sheng Ran from time to time. Seeing sweat on her forehead, they quickly handed her a clean handkerchief.
Sheng Ran was actually still in shock. She turned to look at the beastly husbands around her and finally asked the doubts in her heart.
"This time, the herbs were needed urgently, so after being processed, they were shipped directly to the west of the city for distribution. Our original intention was to simply strengthen the people's constitutions, but we never expected that they could actually cure the Black Death."
"They didn't come from my hands at all, so they have nothing to do with my special constitution. What exactly caused the effect?"
Yun Ling recalled carefully and squeezed Sheng Ran's hand, "Could it be that the spiritual spring water is the problem?"
The main ingredients of the herbs they sent were yulan magnolia and spiritual spring water.
Zhu Jiuyin knew how difficult it was to obtain spiritual spring water, so he was worried. "But this time, almost all the spiritual spring water has been used up. Do you have to go to the deep sea to get more?"
Huai Jun suddenly shook his head, "It's not about the spiritual spring water."
The Black Death that had plagued the west of the city for a long time was suddenly alleviated. Although he didn't know the specific reason, he was sure that it definitely couldn't be the spiritual spring water.
"Why?" Zhu Jiuyin was curious.
Huai Jun's ears turned slightly red. He coughed lightly and looked at Sheng Ran meaningfully.
"Anyway... the effectiveness of the spiritual spring water requires some special methods." He finished vaguely, "right, wife?"
Sheng Ran naturally thought of the kiss under the deep sea, and her cheeks blushed unconsciously.
Yes, the use of the spiritual spring water requires the help of Huai Jun's power. They kissed each other three times before the spiritual energy of the spiritual spring water was successfully transferred into her body.
Simple tempering is useless.
She wanted to leave the best things for the suffering people, and in a fit of impulsiveness, she added everything in. Looking back now, the effect was probably worse than nothing, and it was really a waste.
"So, the key to this medicinal ingredient lies in the Yulan flower!" Zhu Jiuyin slapped his head and spoke excitedly, "Wife, you personally preserved these Yulan flowers. Have you forgotten? Every one of them is imbued with your spiritual energy!"
Sheng Ran suddenly remembered this and nodded slowly, still a little incredulous. "But, I just preserved them for a while, and they can be used as medicine to treat the Black Death?"
The legendary Black Death was an extremely serious plague. Could her ability be strong enough to cure it?
Sheng Ran couldn't even dare to think about it. Besides, wasn't it true that only the God of Flowers had the ability to cure this disease with orchids?
Through layer upon layer of reasoning, an answer seemed to become increasingly clear, but Sheng Ran couldn't believe it.
How can she prove it further?
Sheng Ran's heartbeat was already off beat as her brain was in a state of confusion. Suddenly, at this moment, Tu Shanyi's spy came running over, sweating profusely. "Miss Sheng! This is bad! The Holy Lady has arrived with her guards. They say your medicine is poisonous and they want to arrest you and bring you to justice!"
Sheng Ran paused with the basket of medicinal herbs in her hand, and looked up to see Sheng Jieyue wearing a moon-white dress, walking towards her, surrounded by a dozen guards.
She had a "compassionate" smile on her face, as if she was really worried about the people.
"Sister, how could you make such a mistake?" Sheng Jieyue quickly walked to the medical tent, raising her voice to ensure everyone could hear. "The people west of the city are already suffering from the plague. How could you harm them with inferior medicine?"
As soon as the words fell, the guards immediately followed suit and started to jeer: "The Saint Female is right! This exiled useless female has bad intentions!"
"Catch her! Make amends for the people who were poisoned!"
Zhu Jiuyin was so angry that he wanted to kill someone, but Sheng Ran held his wrist.
She looked at Sheng Jieyue, her eyes calm and without a trace of emotion: "Whether my medicine is poisonous or not is not up to you to decide, you have to ask the people."
"Ask the people?" Sheng Jieyue sneered, pointing a finger at an orc in the crowd who was covering his face. "He drank your medicine this morning, and his face is swollen like this. If this isn't poison, what is it?"
The orc immediately wailed in a shrill voice: "It hurts so much! Sheng Ran, you have to pay me back! I'm going to kill you!"
At this moment, a young orc suddenly stood up, pointed at the wailing man and cursed, "You're talking nonsense! I recognize you. You used to steal people's silver on the streets. I guess you're pretending to be poisoned to cheat people out of their money!"
"Yes! I saw it too!" the old orc shouted, "He didn't drink the medicine at all, and he even stole my grandson's meat pie this morning!"
The people were instantly in an uproar, pointing at the fake patient and calling him a liar.
Someone raised an empty medicine bowl and said, "This medicine saved my life, how could it be poisonous? Your Majesty, have you been deceived?"
Sheng Jieyue's smile froze on her face. She didn't expect that the people would not only not help her, but instead speak up for Sheng Ran.
She feigned composure and changed her story: "Even if the medicine isn't poisonous, don't try to deceive the people! The people west of the city all say there's a fairy who delivers hot meals every day. You're clearly trying to impersonate a fairy and confuse people!"
After these words were spoken, the people became even more confused.
Yes, there is indeed a fairy who delivers hot food every day.
——I am just standing here, what do you mean by impersonation? What do you mean by confusing the public?
"Lady Saint, are your eyesight failing?" the woman holding the roasted sweet potato asked sincerely, stepping forward. "Miss Sheng is the fairy who delivers hot meals! She comes every day before dawn, and we all know her!"
