Your Highness, please stop chasing me.

Chapter 81 The Magical Power

Mu Xue was comfortably soaking in the pool. The water temperature was just right now, but it would be heated up in a little while, and then she wouldn't be able to stay there anymore. She was still thinking about seeing Lin Jiu.

Ye Shangyuan didn't have the same good feeling as Mu Xue.

He feels itchy and painful from head to toe.

This feeling made him want to curse, making his brainstem feel uncomfortable.

Mu Xue glanced at Ye Shangyuan. In her past life, her favorite thing was soaking in hot springs.

Since arriving here, she hasn't had a proper hot bath.

However, since Ye Shangyuan was still nearby, she felt embarrassed to linger, and her primary task was to suppress the poison for him.

Mu Xue reluctantly stood up with a "whoosh" and walked to Ye Shangyuan's side again, seeing his pained expression.

Mu Xue wasn't sure if he could hear her, but she still comforted him, "Brother A Yuan, I know you must be feeling terrible, but you have to hold on. Once you get through this, the poison will be completely suppressed."

Seeing that the silver needles had changed color, she stopped and went ashore.

Her voice was soft and sweet, as if it possessed a magical power, reaching Ye Shangyuan's consciousness through his ears.

Ye Shangyuan, who was already driven crazy by the itchy and painful sensation, instantly sobered up when he heard his voice.

He no longer rejected the feeling. His mind even became peaceful.

Mu Xue quickly dressed. After tidying her hair which was piled on top of her head, she called out, "Brother Leng, you can come in now."

Reizumi and Yoru, who had been waiting outside for a long time, quickly carried in large bundles of firewood.

Seeing that his master was already in the pool with many silver needles stuck in his head, Leng Quan asked, "Miss Xue, shall we start heating the water?"

Mu Xue took out a small porcelain bottle from her bosom, poured out an ice-blue pill, and said, "Feed this to the prince first."

After Lengquan took it, she said to Ye San, "Find two more people to help with the fire, and keep the water temperature the same."

"Okay." Ye San walked out and quickly returned, followed by two people dressed the same.

Upon seeing Mu Xue, the two men bowed and greeted her, saying, "Greetings, Miss Mu."

Mu Xue nodded and instructed, "Please, you two, along with Brother Leng, keep an eye on the water temperature."

Each of the four performed their respective duties, and everything was ready.

Mu Xue stepped forward and squatted down beside Ye Shangyuan. Once the water temperature reached the required level, she swiftly and decisively flicked her sleeve, pulling the silver needle from Ye Shangyuan's head.

When Mu Xue made her move, Ye San's eyes lit up. He was no ordinary man like Leng Quan; he was quite skilled at using silver needles!

After consuming the Snow-Bathing Pill, Ye Shangyuan sat in the water, which was already heating up. A thin layer of icy mist actually rose from his body, which amazed Lengquan.

Seeing that the ice on Ye Shangyuan's body was quite thick, Mu Xue walked to the water's edge to test the temperature. The water was so hot that she immediately pulled her hand back. She said, "Make the fire bigger. Make the water even hotter!"

Upon hearing this, Leng Quan said in surprise, "But Miss Xue, the water is already very hot."

Mu Xue had already abandoned her usual amiable demeanor. She coldly rebuked, "Is this how your prince taught you? Don't you know that a soldier's duty is to obey orders?"

The moment she unleashed her aura, the four of them trembled in shock. At this moment, Mu Xue's aura was actually on par with that of the prince.

The four of them thought at the same time, "This is hardly the kind of imposing manner a little girl raised in the inner quarters should have!"

However, it's not surprising that this happened to Mu Xue.

Leng Quan knelt on one knee and said, "This subordinate knows his mistake. Please punish me, Miss Xue."

Mu Xue stared intently at Ye Shangyuan's changes and said, "Your right or wrong will be resolved by your prince when he wakes up. Now, keep an eye on the fire in front of you."

Then, she turned to look at the four of them one by one and said slowly, "I don't care whether you are truly submitting to me or just obeying my orders because of your prince's command. I don't want any more dissenting voices to reach my ears."

The four men bowed their heads and replied, "We are at your service, Miss."

Upon hearing their reply, Mu Xue stopped looking at them and turned to continue observing Ye Shangyuan's situation.

Ye Shangyuan heard all of this and remembered it.

The four of them worked hard to keep the fire burning, increasing the power of the engine. Their clothes were wet and then dried, then wet again, but no one questioned Mu Xue's decision.

Mu Xue squatted by the water, her face flushed red from the steam.

When she couldn't bear it any longer, she would go to the side to have a drink of tea, and then come back to observe.

Ye Shangyuan was also feeling unwell. As soon as he took the pill given to him by Mu Xue, his whole body began to emit cold air. Sitting in the hot water felt very comfortable and relieved the itching and pain in his body. However, as the water temperature gradually rose, the cold air in his body weakened and he began to feel the heat.

He could even feel the bubbles rising around his body from the water that was about to boil but hadn't quite reached that point.

He suddenly had the feeling that he was being boiled in water, and that was exactly what happened!

Finally, after three hours of being boiled in hot water, Mu Xue announced that today's hot bath could end.

The four of them collapsed on the ground, panting heavily. Stoking a fire in the sweltering summer heat was truly no job for humans!

Mu Xue's clothes were also soaked, but she was prepared. She quickly slipped into the makeshift shed behind the screen and changed into clothes she had prepared in advance.

When she came out and saw that the private person was still sitting on the ground, she kindly picked up the herbal tea that was placed next to her and walked over, saying, "Each of you have a bowl. Keep some on hand for tomorrow so you can drink it anytime."

The four people who were drinking herbal tea choked: ...She definitely did it on purpose!

Hearing the sounds of the others drinking water, Ye Shangyuan cried out inwardly, "These subordinates are no good! Give me some too!"

Leng Quan then remembered Ye Shangyuan, who was still soaking in hot water, and asked softly, "Miss Xue, would you like to feed the prince some cool tea?"

Mu Xue took a sip of her herbal tea and sighed comfortably, saying, "He can't drink it. Let him cool off first, and we'll talk about it after he's taken out."

Everyone agreed that it made sense.

Nightfall Abyss is indeed too hot to handle right now, so let's let it cool down a bit more before making a decision.

Upon hearing this, Ye Shangyuan gave up struggling. What else could he do after the attending physician had said so?

Once the water temperature had cooled down, the group worked together to help Ye Shangyuan up and carry him back to his room.

I'll take a bath in ice water this afternoon.

Last night, Lengquan brought over almost all the ice that the wealthy families in Yunan City could get their hands on.

After a quick lunch, Mu Xue began to perform acupuncture and bloodletting on Ye Shangyuan.

Ye San couldn't help but frown as he watched basin after basin of foul-smelling blood being brought out.

He truly admired Mu Xue for being able to perform acupuncture on Ye Shangyuan while simultaneously cleaning the blood flowing from the hollow needles without changing her expression.

No wonder she prepared several basins and a large bucket of clean water in the room.

This stinks too!
