Records of Mysterious Things in the Southern Dynasties

Chapter 161: All the Illnesses Gone
On the boat.

The princess asked again, "It seems there was another brave man who saved me just now?"

"Uh, yes." Ren Yuan nodded quickly.

"Please ask that warrior to come up as well." The princess then told the palace maids, "I want to thank them in person."

"Yes..." The eunuch hesitated, but considering the princess's mood swings, how could he dare to dissuade her? So he dragged his voice and shouted loudly to the river: "Xuan, the warrior in the water get on the boat."

"Okay." Upon hearing the voice, Chen Baxian took the leap and jumped onto the pleasure boat dripping with water.

~~
On the Gou Chensi sailboat, Diwu Wei was stunned and couldn't help laughing: "These two guys are really good. They actually got in touch with the princess."

"Why didn't the leader stop them?" Zuan asked.

"Today, morals are going downhill, so we should encourage people to stand up for justice." The Fifth Dimension said seriously.

"Is that what you mean?" Zuan couldn't help but ask. Unfortunately, the great magical power was not affected by his magical power, and he couldn't get the truth out of the fifth building owner.

"Then why didn't you stop them?" The Fifth Dimension said with a smile, "If you had used your magical powers to shout, 'You are all landlubbers who dare not go into the water', wouldn't they all have come back?"

"This is good for them, why should I stop it?" Zuan couldn't tell a lie. After blurting it out, he looked at his boss anxiously.

"Hey, what was I going to say?" The Fifth Dimension changed the subject very 'naturally'.

"Request to see the princess and get the prisoner back." Nangong reminded helplessly.

"Yes, yes, pass the invitation." Diwuwei nodded hurriedly and said, "Nangong, you go and do it. Princess Yongkang is notoriously difficult to deal with, and women should be more convenient anyway."

"You still know that I'm a woman..." Nangong muttered in a low voice with resentment.

~~
On the royal pleasure boat.

Chen Baxian was not as surprised as Ren Yuan. He used his internal energy to dry his clothes and then went to see Princess Yongkang in a proper manner.

"You saved my life. It's not enough to just say thank you. We need to repay you in kind." After the princess asked the palace maids to express her gratitude on her behalf, she asked, "You don't look like people from Jiankang. What are you doing in the capital?"

"Princess, you have good eyesight. We brothers are from Jiangnan." Chen Baxian replied, "We came to Beijing to treat my sister's illness."

"Oh, that's easy." The princess smiled and said, "Bring the person here, I will help you cure him."

"Ah? You!" Chen Baxian was also a little surprised.

"Yes, it's me. What's your expression? Are you surprised?" The princess wanted this expression from him. It made her feel so good!
"Princess, you absolutely cannot do that." The palace maids were shocked when they heard this and hurriedly tried to dissuade her, "You are a princess of wealth and power, how can you have contact with ordinary people?"

"How can you waste your precious magical powers on a commoner you don't even know?"

"What's wrong with me? I was the one who saved me just now." The princess frowned and snorted coldly, "Stop pretending to be loyal here. Where were you when I fell into the water just now? If you keep talking nonsense, I will tie you all up and throw you into the water!"

"Yes..." The palace maids knew that she was definitely capable of doing it, so they quickly shut up.

So Ren Yuan called out "Senior Sister", and A Yao jumped from the sailboat, and landed lightly on the deck of the pleasure boat like a fairy walking on the water.

Her white clothes are whiter than snow, she is beautiful and graceful, pure and innocent, just like a banished immortal.

The princess is as beautiful as her, but unfortunately she is too young and has not grown up yet. Compared with A Yao, who is tall and in her prime years, she is indeed inferior.

"No wonder the captain didn't even look at me. It turns out he eats so well." The princess muttered silently.

"What does the princess want me to do?" A Yao bowed and asked in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

"It's okay, just stand there and don't move. I will heal you right away." The princess coughed lightly and took a deep breath. A Yao looked at Ren Yuan and saw him nod, so she stood still as she was told.

The princess came up without any inspection, and began to make hand gestures and chant incantations. Green light appeared on her slender fingertips.

When the light became brighter, the princess placed her fingertips on A Yao's smooth forehead, and the misty green light slowly flowed into her body.

When the green light enveloped A Yao's whole body, the princess knew her situation clearly. She couldn't help but frowned slightly. It was obviously more troublesome than she had expected.

Ren Yuan's heart was in his throat, fearing that his hopes would be dashed again. No one wanted to cure his senior sister more than he did.

Chen Baxian boasted that the miracle doctor could "bring the dead back to life and turn bones into flesh", saying that he could not only allow A Yao to retain her magical powers, but also cure her illness. Although he didn't say it, Ren Yuan still had great expectations in his heart, even if the so-called miracle doctor was Huan'er...

Sensing his trepidation, the princess felt as if she was not trusted, and could not help but snorted, "Just wait and see!"

He then raised his left arm and injected green light into A Yao's body with both hands at the same time. Soon A Yao's whole body was covered in green light, as if wrapped in a huge cocoon.

As time passed, the light from the princess' fingertips gradually dimmed, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

But she was unexpectedly very resilient. She bit her red lips tightly and tried her best to increase the output of the clear light and keep the ball of light from dispersing.

Seeing this, everyone looked at the ball of light anxiously. The palace servants dared not breathe, worried that something bad had happened to the princess and how they would explain it when they returned.

But now that things have come to this, we can only pray for Buddha's blessing.

I don’t know how long it took, but the cocoon-like ball of light suddenly shattered into pieces of colorful spots of light, and a group of black butterflies flew out from the light spots, looking strange and beautiful.

The butterfly fluttered into the sky and soon disappeared.

"Princess!" The palace maids had no time to appreciate the fantastic scenery because the princess had fainted from exhaustion.

They quickly and carefully supported the princess and sent her to the cabin to rest.

Chen Baxian also wanted to go in and take a look, but was kicked out.

"Stay here and don't move. Wait until the princess wakes up!" The eunuch blocked the door and ordered the guards to keep an eye on the three of them...

Chen Baxian was disappointed and turned back to ask A Yao: "How do you feel, big sister?"

Ren Yuan also looked at his senior sister with concern.

A Yao closed his eyes and looked inward, then opened them after a while and said, "The corpse poison is really gone."

But she did not show her joy immediately. Instead, she pulled out the white bone hairpin behind her head, and her black hair fell down like a waterfall, causing the eunuch guards to pause.

But it's not stunning, but frightening. Nima even hides a murder weapon...

A Yao put the bone hairpin in her sleeve, stabbed her arm fiercely, and then said with a smile: "The strength is still there."

Ren Yuan said helplessly: "Can't you try another method? If your body recovers to its original state, your arm will be useless now."

A Yao stuck out her tongue cutely and said, "I'm used to it. I'll be more careful next time."

"Great." Chen Baxian whispered happily, "We can run away now."

"Sorry, you can't leave without the princess's order." A tall woman dressed as a ghostwriter but wearing a black cape with a red interior appeared beside the three people silently and said in a low voice: "Please come in for tea and snacks for a while."
