Chapter 593: Chapter 547: I Alleviate the Pain for You_3
This was prepared by Miss Yin for Shou; he would not touch it.
Ning Feiyan asked, “Won’t you eat this Ghost Grass?”
Baili An hummed a response, his gaze cool and shallow, “Miss Ning, your rare kindness is appreciated. I would like to keep it to cherish for a few days. By the way, you mentioned earlier that your wound was so painful you nearly cried. I remember you have some Qingyang Powder stashed beneath your bookcase. Although it cannot heal your injuries, it can numb the pain. Shall I fetch it for you?”
His voice was gentle and light, carrying a hint of coaxing, making it very comforting to listen to.
Naturally, Ning Feiyan would not refuse and lazily hummed her approval.
When Baili An brought back the medicine, he gently applied it for her.
At first it was very cooling and refreshing, but after he had applied all three bottles to the wounded area, Ning Feiyan sensed something was amiss.
The cooling sensation fully dissipated, turning into a tingling itch, both numbing and hot, as if countless ants were crawling.
If the unbearable agony at the beginning was something Ning Feiyan could endure, the unbearable itch brought by the medicine powder made living feel worse than dying.
She couldn’t help wanting to scratch, which indeed could relieve the itch, but once she started, she would indulge more and more, scratching deeper into the wound.
By then, her back would likely not have a single piece of good flesh left.
Her eyes reddened from the torment, and she gritted her teeth to endure the excruciating itch: “What have you done?”
In the past, whenever she gifted something, whether to men or women, all would be grateful and tearful, even eagerly reciprocating her kindness with all their heart.
It was the first time, like today, that after giving a gift, she received such malice in return.
Baili An sighed, shaking the empty bottle in his hand, patting his head in vexation, “Ah, I accidentally used Thousand Mechanism Powder.”
That day, Ning Feiyan fully realized that this boy was bad to the bone, always concealing his malice—like a little wolf cub wrapped in a rabbit’s skin.
Not only were his words deceitful, but his heart was also filled with venom, more poisonous than even that of the Great Emperor.
Ning Feiyan was tormented all night without sleep, her last bit of energy drained, her appearance haggard and worn.
It seemed that even ten pots of cold tea couldn’t bring back a trace of her spirit.
Meanwhile, Hong Zhuang had not returned for the night, presumably hurt by something Ning Feiyan had said. The one who usually guarded Chao Mu Hall every night had seemingly vanished into thin air.
It wasn’t until later, when Baili An could no longer bear it and roamed around Royal City in the form of a small cat, that he discovered it wasn’t due to a broken heart but rather an accident.
Ning Feiyan’s severe injuries were extraordinary. Even the most precious Spiritual Medicine from the King’s Treasury could not heal her, yet in the Demon Lord’s Netherworld Palace, there was a Dicheng Pill hidden.
This was the Spiritual Medicine presented by the Hualis of the Demon World when the Demon Lord ascended the throne. Hong Zhuang, having somehow learned that this medicine could greatly help Ning Feiyan’s injuries, recklessly trespassed into the Netherworld Palace and was pinned to the ground by the Thousand Spear Array, taken down on the spot.
Now, she was imprisoned within the Water Dungeon.
The Dicheng Pill could neutralize all poisons, heal blood bones, and dissolve malevolent energy.
In these turbulent times, her theft of the healing treasure naturally led people to associate her actions with the seriously injured traitor who had transformed into the Demon Lord.
Ning Feiyan was not without suspicion, but as one of the Six Rivers, without clear evidence, the demon guards would naturally not move against her easily.
Over the course of the day, almost all forms of torture in the Water Dungeon had been used on Hong Zhuang.
And this news was also deliberately leaked to the Chao Mu Hall.
