Chapter 150 The Divine Physician and the Regent's Wife (12)
"It's good that you're alright. You should rest well. I'll come see you another day." Seeing that Nalan Zhimeng was fine after waking up, except for being a little pale, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Thinking of Xuan San's words about Xie Yuan's murder, his brows furrowed deeply again.
Nalan Zhimeng reached out and smoothed the furrow between Huangfu Yaoyu's brows.
"What's troubling Yaoyu?" she asked softly.
Huangfu Yaoyu smiled, pretending nothing had happened.
"It's nothing, I just don't know if Xie Yuan and the others have returned."
Upon hearing this, Nalan Zhimeng's face turned even paler.
Are you worried about Miss Xie?
"No, I'm worried she won't be able to cure your poison."
Huangfu Yaoyu quickly grabbed her hand and expressed his feelings.
Nalan Zhimeng smiled shyly: "To have your love, I would die without regrets."
...The two of them cuddled together for a while.
As for Lin Jingyi, Xie's father punished himself with thirty strokes of the cane, and Yun Rong went to get medicine for him and Lin Jingyi.
"Sigh," Xie's mother sighed from the side.
She also had a responsibility to raise their daughter, but her husband took it all on.
"No, what's going on?" Xie Qing heard the commotion outside the door and came out to check.
I saw Xie's father and Lin Jingyi each holding one of my hands, while Xie's mother wiped away tears.
Confused, he asked aloud.
He knew his younger sister would be punished, but what was wrong with his father's hands?
However, none of the three people present paid him any attention.
"Aqing, you clean and bandage Master's wounds, and I'll bandage Junior Sister's wounds," Yun Rong said to Xie Qing as he took a medicine box from the room before even reaching her.
"Oh, okay." Xie Qing responded, a little confused.
Yun Rong took out some wound-cleaning supplies from the box and said to Lin Jingyi, "Junior Sister, bear with it, let's clean it first."
"Okay." Lin Jingyi nodded obediently.
"Yunrong, why don't you let me do it?" Xie's mother then remembered that she and Lao Xie had previously planned to pair their daughter with Yunrong, and thought that it was not good for the two of them to be in contact like this now.
Yun Rong also noticed Xie's mother's concerns, and his expression darkened.
But she still forced a smile and said, "Master's wife, it's alright. Junior Sister is like my sister."
"Well... alright then," Xie's mother conceded.
Yun Rong held Lin Jingyi's fingertips to keep her from moving and began to clean her wounds and apply medicine.
Lin Jingyi only felt something soft and cool sliding back and forth across his palm, and it didn't hurt at all.
Looking at Yun Rong, who was earnestly applying medicine to himself, Lin Jingyi couldn't help but sigh, "A man who earnestly applies medicine to a woman is truly handsome."
"All done." After bandaging the wound, Yun Rong said softly to Lin Jingyi.
"Okay, thank you, brother."
"Remember, don't let the wound get wet. I'll apply the medicine again tomorrow."
Xie's parents and Xie Qing, who were standing to the side, were stunned. After Yun Rong brought the medicine box into the house, Xie Qing pouted and said:
"Xie Yuan, you haven't fallen for Senior Brother again, have you?"
"Xie Qing, don't spread rumors and tarnish your sister's reputation." Xie's mother gave him a sharp rap on the head.
Xie Qing scratched her head and remained silent, but her eyes were still fixed on Lin Jingyi, hoping for an answer.
"Hehe." Lin Jingyi grinned, but didn't reply.
“Yuan Yuan, even if you like him now, you don’t have a chance anymore. You’ve already hurt your senior brother once. The two of you are not suitable for each other,” Xie’s father said solemnly from the side.
"Father, don't worry, my senior brother is my half-brother."
"That's good. We were not thoughtful enough and didn't consider your feelings."
Mr. Xie looked regretful.
"I'm back safe and sound, aren't I? It's not my parents' fault."
"My dear mother."
Mother Xie hugged Lin Jingyi again.
After dinner, Lin Jingyi went back to his room.
After meditating cross-legged on the bed for a while, I suddenly felt a burning sensation in a certain part of my soul.
This is not the original owner's physical pain.
It's in the location of her spatial ring.
Lin Jingyi opened his eyes, wondering what was going on with the ring.
With a thought, he flashed into the space.
Lin Jing could also feel that the space was unusually cold as soon as he entered.
The space was completely dark, devoid of any light.
Lin Jingyi focused his spiritual power on his eyes and was finally able to see the situation inside the space.
To the left was where she stored her things, and directly in front was where she raised poultry. The fruits and vegetables she grew had all turned black and rotten, and even the animals she raised were just skeletons.
The yin energy was extremely strong.
"System, what's wrong with my space?"
As soon as Lin Jingyi finished speaking, a man in black robes appeared beside him.
"This... seems to be a reincarnation space." The system stood beside Lin Jingyi and said thoughtfully.
"Why did you come out?"
Seeing the system beside her, Lin Jing was also a little curious. Even though she covered her eyes with spiritual power, she still couldn't see what the system looked like.
"This seems to be the reincarnation space from the apocalypse," the system continued without answering Lin Jingyi.
"This is a spatial artifact given to me by the Heavenly Dao of that world."
Lin Jing also didn't understand why thinking about a spiritual artifact would turn into the cycle of reincarnation that the system mentioned.
The system walked to the place where Lin Jingyi hadn't put anything, and suddenly felt a transparent barrier in front of it.
Lin Jingyi followed behind the system, reaching out to touch the transparent barrier. It was very soft, but she couldn't get past it no matter what she did.
She discovered that, it seemed, since the beginning of this world, the extent of this space had never increased.
“This is a barrier,” Lin Jingyi affirmed.
"Ah."
A blue light appeared in the system's palm, and an opening appeared in the area. Lin Jingyi followed the system out through the opening.
As soon as he stepped out of the barrier, Lin Jingyi felt that the yin energy and resentment in the space were even stronger.
The system remained silent, leading Lin Jingyi towards a place where the yin energy was even denser.
Lin Jingyi is now bound to this space, so no matter how strong the resentment and yin energy in the space are, it will not harm Lin Jingyi in the slightest.
Following the system, we encountered another barrier.
Following the previous instructions, the system led the two into another barrier.
Lin Jingyi had never imagined that this space would be so large.
Upon entering this barrier, I saw a light, but it was very faint.
You can vaguely see some souls wandering through it.
"So, the Heavenly Dao has simply given me a cycle of reincarnation?"
Lin Jingyi was somewhat incredulous.
"I don't know." The system's tone was very serious.
This space seems to only accept souls. These souls stay in the space and cannot be reincarnated. The more people in that world die, the fewer people there will be, and they may even become extinct.
"This situation needs to be reported to the main system immediately." This concerns the beings of an entire plane, and the system has no choice but to contact the main system.
"That's all."
After saying that, the system disappeared.
Lin Jingyi stood there alone, watching the souls darting back and forth in the air, his brows furrowed.
Just as Lin Jingyi was about to sit cross-legged and merge her consciousness with the consciousness of this space, several souls rushed towards her.
Just as Lin Jingyi was preparing to react, before these souls could even touch him, they were bounced back by an invisible energy.
Thinking that he had at least made this space recognize him as its master, Lin Jingyi stopped guessing.
By merging her consciousness with the space, she can now go anywhere in the space with just a thought.
This barrier occupies almost 90% of the entire space, and souls can be seen everywhere.
Some souls, unable to reincarnate because they have been here for so long, have developed deep resentment.
The remaining 10% is a blank area, and the other is the area where Lin Jingyi put his things, which is only a few dozen acres.
With a thought, Lin Jingyi returned to the barrier where he grew vegetables.
The yin energy and resentment were so strong that they directly penetrated the barrier, affecting the animals and plants she was raising.
The food I bought before has gone bad.
"That method is unreliable," Lin Jingyi grumbled under his breath before flashing out of the space.
The soul on the ring on her left index finger still felt a burning sensation. She would have to wait for the system's reply regarding this space.
Fortunately, the burning sensation wasn't too severe, and Lin Jingyi got used to it in no time.
She began to cultivate with her eyes closed, and now her cultivation level has reached the seventh level of Qi Refining.
And so, Lin Jingyi spent ten days learning medicine and cultivating in the Valley of Divine Physicians.
That day, Lin Jingyi was studying poisons when he saw Xie Liang rushing over.
"Miss, there are two men outside the village gate who claim to be your friends and are requesting an audience."
"Brother Liang, did you say who they are?" Lin Jingyi stopped what he was doing and asked.
Xie Liang shook his head: "The other party said they knew you, so I came to find you."
"Let's go, let's go take a look." After thinking it over, Lin Jingyi realized that the only people who could come looking for her were Huangfu Yaoyu's men.
Then, he followed Xu Liang to the entrance of the village, stood on the city gate, and looked down.
"That's them."
Lin Jingyi looked down and saw that it was Xuan San.
Upon hearing the voice, Xuan San looked up and saw Lin Jingyi, and was immediately delighted.
"Thank you, girl."
That's great, Miss Xie is not dead. But why didn't Miss Xie take the prescription and antidote back to the palace?
But he can't ask now.
Thinking of the dozens of people they had brought along the way, all of whom had died on the road, they realized that if it weren't for their good fortune, they would have died in the maze outside long ago.
"Hmm, Xuan San." Lin Jingyi's demeanor was indifferent.
"Miss, should we open the door?" Xie Liang hesitated upon seeing Lin Jingyi's attitude.
"Open the door." Xuan San has no way to escape anyway.
"Thank you."
Xuan San and the people behind him thanked Xu Liang, then ran to Lin Jingyi.
"Since Miss Xie is alright, why didn't you take the antidote to the palace?" Xuan San was somewhat angry with Lin Jingyi, after all, she hadn't died but hadn't sent any news, causing them to send so many people to search for her whereabouts.
"Oh, we haven't figured out an antidote yet," Lin Jingyi said dismissively.
Xuan San frowned, sensing Miss Xie's unusual attitude.
"How long will it take for the antidote to take? The Empress Dowager has been drugged again."
Xuan San asked urgently.
"Perhaps, the antidote cannot be found, and your Empress Dowager may soon pass away," Lin Jingyi said, turning around with a light tone.
"What does Miss Xie mean?"
"What does your Regent mean?" Xuan San's pupils shrank, incredulous that Lin Jingyi would know their plan.
The person following behind Xuan San was also puzzled. He was just a lowly bodyguard and did not know Huangfu Yaoyu's true plan.
Seeing Lin Jingyi and Xuan San like this, the little guard was very puzzled.
"Tch." Seeing that Xuan San did not answer, Lin Jingyi scoffed lightly: "You all are doomed too."
The two men made it through the fog outside, but their lips were now turning purple, a symptom of poisoning.
