Chapter 567: Chapter 567 Qingye Piaoxue has a fever

"Clang~~"

At this moment, the treasure sword carried on Qingye Piaoxue’s back suddenly unsheathed itself as she shouted loudly:

"Ah... you pervert, I’ll make you the last eunuch in Dragon Country!"

Even though the sword was drawn, her body hadn’t turned around yet; she was still facing away from Lin Dong.

Seeing her serious reaction, Lin Dong’s smile froze, and he hurriedly said:

"Hey, hey, I was just joking with you. I didn’t strip, hurry up and put your sword away."

Hearing his words, Qingye Piaoxue subconsciously turned her head.

She surely saw that Lin Dong was just joking with her, not doing as he had said.

However, at the moment, Lin Dong was only wearing a pair of underpants, which wasn’t exactly dignified either.

This still caused Qingye Piaoxue’s face and ears to turn red with embarrassment, and she stomped her foot in shyness, quickly turning her head back around.

"Ptui..." After turning back, she didn’t forget to spit out a scolding.

Nevertheless, she put away her sword.

By now, Lin Dong’s clothing was almost dry.

He put on his dry clothes and then said to Qingye Piaoxue:

"Okay, I’m fully dressed now; you can turn back around."

Out of spite, Qingye Piaoxue said, "Who wants to look at you anyway? Even with your clothes on, I don’t want to see you."

Lin Dong shrugged his shoulders and muttered, "Suit yourself."

Having said that, he didn’t bother with her anymore and continued to explore the underground palace.

He discovered that people had indeed lived here in the past, but it must have been a very long time ago.

There was naturally nothing left here except for the stone stools and stone tables that last for thousands of years; everything else had rotted away.

Even the wood was decayed.

Not to mention food; that was even less likely.

"Logically, people should have lived here before. But no skeletons were found, which is rather strange..." Lin Dong muttered to himself.

After searching for a long time and finding nothing, he had no choice but to give up.

He sat down at the stone table and stone stools and began to rest and regulate his breathing.

Time is like fine sand, scooped up in the palm of the hand, slipping through the fingers.

In this sealed cave, without a view of the outer world’s sun, moon, and stars, Lin Dong had no idea how much time had passed.

When he opened his eyes, he noticed complete silence around him.

Lin Dong thought that Qingye Piaoxue had left.

However, upon a careful look, she hadn’t.

Qingye Piaoxue hadn’t left, but she looked rather unwell at the moment.

She was curled up in a corner of the underground palace, her whole person appearing very abnormal.

Lin Dong frowned and called out, "Qingye Piaoxue, what are you doing? You wake up just because I turn my head away, but do you have to disgustingly lie on the ground?"

However, Qingye Piaoxue did not respond to him.

Or perhaps, she simply didn’t have the strength to respond.

Lin Dong then realized that Qingye Piaoxue seemed to have undergone some change in her condition.

He quickly walked over to her, and after he approached, he felt the temperature around her had risen a lot.

More than just risen, the air almost seemed to burn.

If there were any cloth or kindling nearby, they would probably truly catch fire.

"Qingye Piaoxue, what’s happening to you?" Lin Dong hurried over, intending to check her condition.

Just as he was about to reach out, Qingye Piaoxue said weakly, "You... don’t... touch me... "

Lin Dong, at that point, couldn’t care less.

Although he wasn’t close to this Qingye Piaoxue, he didn’t want her to die in such a place.

And to be honest, even though he hadn’t interacted much with her, Lin Dong felt she wasn’t bad by nature and couldn’t just stand by while she might die.

His hand rested on Qingye Piaoxue’s pulse.

The moment he touched her body, he was surprised.

"Your body temperature must be around fifty degrees!" Lin Dong was very surprised, as he had never seen such a weird sickness before.

A body temperature of fifty degrees was simply unbelievable.

In common people, a temperature of over forty degrees could lead to the death of all body cells and organ failure. Yet she was still alive.

Lin Dong, for a while, couldn’t diagnose her strange disease.

To completely cure her, Lin Dong naturally had no immediate solution.

However, to help Qingye Piaoxue reduce her temperature, Lin Dong still had methods.

At the moment, he took out silver needles, treated her with acupuncture, and began the acupuncture cooling treatment.

"Whoo~~~"

Lin Dong inserted the silver needles into her acupoints, and then a stream of cool qi, following the acupuncture, entered Qingye Piaoxue’s body, helping her to cool down.

But her body was like a ’sun,’ continuously generating heat.

The cool qi had barely entered her body when it was devoured by the internal heat.

Lin Dong continued to channel his inner qi, and the consumption became greater and greater.

After persisting for more than two hours, Lin Dong found that he had only helped reduce her temperature by a few degrees.

And at this moment, Qingye Piaoxue had improved slightly. She looked at Lin Dong, her face showing a bit of complexity.

She had thought that Lin Dong would take her life while she was sick, and take the half of the Thousand Year Snow Lotus from her hand.

But he hadn’t, instead, he had used a tremendous amount of his inner qi to try to save her.

It must be understood that in this cave, with no food or even water sources available, one could only rely on inner qi to endure.

His consumption like this was tantamount to using his own life to treat her.

"Why... Why are you doing this?" Qingye Piaoxue couldn’t help but ask Lin Dong.

Lin Dong continued with the cooling treatment and casually replied:

"Because, I’m a doctor."
