Chapter 555: Epilepsy is Infectious?

“I already said that I didn’t poison you, so why would I have an antidote?” said Ling Chuxi with a pout. Suddenly, she looked at Feng Zitian in surprise and said, “Aiya, I do have some medical knowledge though. Seeing your condition, I can deduce that you are suffering from epilepsy! Look at yourself, your mouth is crooked, and your eyes are slanted. You’d better quickly go and get it treated. A doctor indeed has the heart of a parent. I practice with a heart of kindness and responsibility toward every single patient. Every word of mine is true,” said Ling Chuxi with a noble look befitting such righteous words, it was just that the laughing intent behind her eyes betrayed how much exactly she was gloating over Feng Zitian’s misfortune.

Feng Zitian felt around his own face for a bit and indeed, the corners of his lips were tugged upwards and his eyes were slanted downwards. He felt a jolt of surprise and immediately circulated his Battle Qi to force the toxins out of his body. However, every part of his body his Battle Qi passed, he did not notice any signs of poisoning, and his body was getting more painful and itchy instead, making it harder to bear. Now it was not only his hands that were affected, even his internal organs somehow felt sore, painful, and itchy.

With this, even he himself started to doubt his initial judgment of poisoning.

“Fifth Highness, it turns out that your epilepsy is infectious. Why didn’t you remind Senior Brother Feng to take precautions around you? Just look, now he has been infected too,” said Ling Chuxi to Si Nanchen solemnly.

“What? Nanchen, what is going on?” Feng Zitian asked Si Nanchen.

“The last time I met her, this kind of a situation also happened to me,” Si Nanchen replied softly.

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?!” barked Feng Zitian. He was angry and hated what was happening to him. Obviously, he and Si Nanchen had both fallen to Ling Chuxi’s schemes. The most angering thing was that Si Nanchen had kept holding on to his own reputation without even giving him a warning. Otherwise, with his level of cultivation, as long as he remained guarded, how could he have so easily been poisoned?

‘Am I an idiot? How could I easily speak of such embarrassing matters?’ Si Nanchen mumbled in his heart but did not dare to speak out loud any further. The fifth prince’s identity was incomparably noble in the eyes of an ordinary citizen, but to a guardian of a country and Wu Feng Hall’s people, it didn’t count for much.

“Antidote. Now!” roared Feng Zitian with his bloodshot eyes glaring at Ling Chuxi. He even had the heart to murder someone right now.

“Again, I didn’t poison you, therefore I have no antidote. However, I do have a treatment method for this form of epilepsy. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Fifth Highness,” said Ling Chuxi almost jokingly.

Feng Zitian looked at Si Nanchen. Si Nanchen nodded back at him timidly.

“Let’s go.” Feng Zitian knew that Ling Chuxi would not admit to poisoning him even if she were to be beaten to death. The longer he stayed, the more troublesome it would be to resolve the poison later. He called over Si Nanchen and E Shulan with a cold look and then led them in walking out of the garden, not even bothering to bid farewell to Mo Kongyuan.

“That’s right, there is another matter I forgot to tell you about. Your epilepsy seems even worse than Fifth Highness’, I’m afraid that you will have to immerse yourself for a few extra hours to be rid of it,” added on Ling Chuxi.

Feng Zitian sped up and walked out of the garden with a black face, without even looking back.

“Aiya, you can slowly make your way out, it’s not like I’m chasing you off. You’re most welcome to come again!” called out Ling Chuxi with a smile as she waved goodbye to the departing group.

Ling Yichen, Fu Chengyu, and even Mo Kongyuan almost burst out laughing. These words sounded a little off. Why did it sound like something the lady of a certain color building (1) would say when calling out to customers? However, that was a very different matter to this entirely. Take a look at the dark aura trailing behind Feng Zitian which was quickly condensing to the point of being solid. This was truly a case of being angered till one’s seven orifices produce smoke.

...

“What treatment method was she talking about just now?” Feng Zitian asked Si Nanchen.

“An ice water bath. I was immersed for a full eight hours when this happened to me,” answered Si Nanchen as he trembled at the memory. He then added on after a thought, “However, she did say just now that even if I had let it be, I would have been okay after an hour.”

Feng Zitian kept mum.

(1) A certain color building is a slang term referring to a brothel without clearly stating it. A qing lou (green building) is a brothel in Chinese.
