907 Chapter 907: Poison!
BANG~! BANG~! BANG~!
"Miss Tang, are you okay?!" The Third Prince impatiently shouted while knocking on the door of Tang Li Xue's door.
Tang Li Xue hastily fixed her untidy attire, then wore [Aura Hiding Cloak] to cover her silvery fox tails and ears.
She also wore [Moon Covering Veil] to cover her stunningly beautiful face before she replied: "I am all right. His Highness Third Prince can come in now."
The Third Prince tried to push open the door, but this time, he could easily push the door open since Yaya, Little Loki, and Lucia no longer blocked behind the door.
"Miss Tang! Are you really okay? Your face looks so pale right now." The Third Prince worriedly said as he approached Tang Li Xue who was lying weakly on the bed.
But Tang Li Xue shook her head and replied: "I am all right. I just forced myself to practice too much just now."
The Third Prince hastily called the imperial physician who was waiting outside with the guards to check Tang Li Xue's condition.
The imperial physician's diagnosis was actually the same as the military physicians in the Iron-Blooded Army's Camp.
"Hmm, this is strange. There is powerful destructive energy destroying her body from inside. It is already a miracle that her body can still remain intact and alive right now." The imperial physician muttered in a great interest.
Tang Li Xue rolled her charming topaz blue eyes and complained in her heart: 'Miracle your head~! This is clearly because of my strength, [Yin Yang Celestial Sky Fox Bloodline], and [Super-Fast Regeneration], okay?!'
"Doctor Li, do you have a way to completely cure her?" The Third Prince asked in an anxious tone.
The imperial physician Li thought for a while before he shook his head and explained: "The powerful destructive energy has spread to every corner of her body. There is nothing I can do unless Your Highness Third Prince can ask for an Enlightenment Stage senior for help to extract the powerful destructive energy out of her body."
Tang Li Xue: "Enlightenment Stage senior?"
Third Prince: "Enlightenment Stage senior?!"
Tang Li Xue asked back curiously while the Third Prince exclaimed in disbelief.
This was the first time Tang Li Xue had heard about the 'Enlightenment Stage'.
Tang Li Xue had a hunch that 'The Enlightenment Stage' should be the realm above the Nascent Soul Stage, but she was not really sure about it yet.
The Third Prince helplessly shook his head while saying: "Where could I find any Enlightenment Stage senior? All of them live like reclusive sages, and no one could even get a glimpse of their shadows unless they were the ones who allowed it."
Tang Li Xue really itched to ask about the 'Enlightenment Stage', but she was afraid that the Third Prince would immediately realize that she was not the person... or rather the fox from this continent, so she could only suppress her curiosity for now.
The imperial physician Li wrote a recipe and gave it to the Third Prince while explaining to him: "This medicine concoction might not be able to cure this girl, but it can at least relieve her pain and nourish her body for a while. She has to consume this medicine three times a day: in the morning, noon, and evening. Of course, this only works temporarily. Once she stops consuming this medicine even for a day, her condition will worsen again."
The Third Prince looked dejected after he heard the imperial physician Li's explanation.
Meanwhile, Tang Li Xue looked nonchalant, as if it was not her who had been diagnosed by the imperial physician Li.
If the others saw their expression, they might think that the Third Prince was the one who was ill instead.
After the Third Prince let the imperial physician Li back, the Third Prince sat with a gloomy and sorrowful expression beside Tang Li Xue's bed as he stretched his hands to hold Tang Li Xue's smooth fair hand.
Tang Li Xue almost reflexively pulled her hand from the Third Prince's grasp, but she held back the urge since she did not want to reveal that she already had strength above the Qi Condensation Stage to the Third Prince yet.
She was so fragile and weak that she could not even walk for half an hour this morning, so how could she explain that she could suddenly have strength above the Qi Condensation Stage at this moment?!
"I am sorry, Miss Tang. I thought the imperial physician should be able to cure you, but..." The Third Prince said in a distressed tone.
Tang Li Xue shook her head and replied: "It is not Your Highness Third Prince's fault. I know my own condition the best, so I understand how hard it is to cure this illness."
Before the Third Prince could say anything, Tang Li Xue hastily changed the subject while blushing in embarrassment: "Has the Third Prince had dinner yet? I have not eaten anything yet, so I am very hungry right now."
Well... To be honest, it was Tang Li Xue's three little friends who were very hungry...
The Third Prince laughed in amusement as he ordered his guards: "Hahaha, bring all the food here. This prince will eat dinner in Miss Tang's place today~!"
When they ate dinner together, the Third Prince was once again dumbfounded by Tang Li Xue's eating portion.
She almost ate the entire table full of food alone, and even asked for more!
Tang Li Xue herself felt really embarrassed when she saw the Third Prince's astonished expression, but there was nothing she could do since she needed to feed her three greedy little friends.
Just like before, Tang Li Xue secretly sent most of the foods to her System's pet space without the Third Prince noticing it.
Lucia liked to eat vegetables, Yaya liked to eat fruits, while Little Loki could eat anything, so it would eat the rest.
However, Tang Li Xue really felt grateful to the Third Prince that all the food served was actually filled with nutrition and spiritual energy.
Tang Li Xue was quite sure that these foods should be made from precious ingredients.
Maybe the Third Prince deliberately prepared them for Tang Li Xue to nourish her weak and fragile body.
Unfortunately, Tang Li Xue herself actually only ate a very small portion of the food, since her current fragile and weak body could not stand eating too many foods with extremely rich spiritual energy, or her body would probably burst.
After finishing their dinner, the Third Prince still wanted to stay and chatted with Tang Li Xue, but Tang Li Xue was already extremely tired after she spent most of her energy condensing the first 'Void Seed' before.
13:37
She unconsciously fell asleep when the Third Prince chatted with her.
The Third Prince could only chuckle in amusement, but he did not plan to wake up Tang Li Xue.
He ordered the maids to carry the sleeping Tang Li Xue to the bed and left Tang Li Xue's room with his guards who had been guarding outside all this time.
The next morning when the morning sunlight penetrated Tang Li Xue's room through the window gap, Tang Li Xue's body jolted awake when she saw the unfamiliar luxurious room.
It took her a while to wake up completely and realize that she was actually in the imperial palace of the Wei Dynasty.
Tang Li Xue sighed while muttering sadly: "This room is truly luxurious, but I miss my comfortable house in Myriad Foxes Academy very much. I wonder if I can really come back there later."
As she thought that she might never see all of her close friends such as Silly Fox, Bingbing, Instructor Lan, and others, Tang Li Xue felt even more depressed and sad.
When she recalled her last farewell with Xiao Hei, Tang Li Xue felt very regretful as if her heart was stabbed deep with a knife.
"Even though I did all of that just so Instructor Lan can let Xiao Hei go, but I really should not be that harsh to him." Tang Li Xue muttered in a regretful tone.
That might be one of the reasons, but the other reason was that Tang Li Xue was actually very pissed off and disappointed when she saw Xiao Hei protect the other girl so desperately right in front of her.
But after thinking about it from Xiao Hei's perspective, she suddenly felt that she acted really childish and unreasonable at that time.
Unfortunately, it was already far too late for her to regret it since she might never be able to see Xiao Hei again from now on.
Tang Li Xue could only silently pray in her heart that this Azure Mist Continent was actually not that far away from Lightwind Continent, so she could come back to Lightwind Continent more easily later.
However, Tang Li Xue silently knew in her heart that it was unlikely since the concentration of the spiritual energy in this Azure Mist Continent was so high, it meant this Azure Mist Continent should be closer to the Central Continent while the Lightwind Continent with its extremely thin spiritual energy should be very far away from Central Continent.
Knock~! Knock~! Knock~!
"Have you already wake up, Young Miss?" The maid knocked on Tang Li Xue's door from outside and asked in a soft tone.
Tang Li Xue hastily wiped the tears on her face before she shouted to them: "Yes, I have already woken up. You can come in."
Several maids entered Tang Li Xue's room, then began to tidy up Tang Li Xue's appearance and change her clothes.
After that, one of the maids gave a concocted medicine to Tang Li Xue while explaining: "Young Miss, this is your medicine. Imperial Physician Li said that you must drink this three times a day."
Tang Li Xue's pink lips twitched, and she felt repulsive as she smelled the pungent smell of Chinese medicine from the black concoction, but she still forced herself to drink it.
Tang Li Xue immediately realized that something was not right after she gulped down all the concocted medicine.
'Damn it~! This medicine is actually poisonous!' Tang Li Xue thought in panic.
