‘Go to the town of Hou’s house, and look for Murong Xue now!’
‘I need her assistance to complete my plan, she cannot die yet!’
Xu Tianyou felt relieved after hearing those commands. He was aware that Murong Xue was important for them to achieve their plan. If Murong Xue died, they would face a lot of difficulties. So, Ye Yichen taking the initiative to find Murong Xue was great: ’Prince, you can send any subordinate to find Murong Xue, you do not need to go in person.’
Ye Yichen unconsciously thought Murong Xue might have been poisoned to death. He felt inexplicably irritated, he wished to see her immediately with Fire Lotus Seeds: ‘It’s better for me to remind her in person!’
Xu Tianyou nodded to Ye Yichen in agreement: ‘Prince, Murong Xue is not in the town of Hou’s house.’
‘Where is she then? Is she in Medical Hall, looking for her doctor to cure her cold poison? She would not be so dumb to believe that cold poison can be cured without Fire Lotus Seeds, right?’
‘She is in Hot Spring Villa!’ Xu Tianyou spilled it out, word by word.
‘Hot Spring Villa? What is she doing there?’
This night was chilling. Murong Ye was standing on the shore, holding a rabbit design lamp with one hand, and leaning on Murong Xue with the other hand. While staring at the hot waves of the hot springs, he had a lot of doubt in his mind: ‘Sister, what are we doing here?’
‘To eliminate cold poison!’
‘Can hot springs eliminate cold poison?’ Murong Ye was surprised.
Murong Xue smiled. According to modern research, soaking in hot springs can eliminate fatigue and illnesses, ease pain, as well as soften and whiten the skin. ‘Of course, I can’t eliminate the cold poison in my body by merely soaking in the hot spring, but with the aid of acupuncture there is a chance!’
‘Really?’ Murong Ye felt skeptical about this method.
‘Of course, did I ever fool you before?’ Murong Xue said it gently.
Murong Ye raised his eyebrows. Yes, he knew his sister would never lie to him: ‘But we have no doctor, nor silver needles for acupuncture…………….’
‘It doesn’t matter, I had seen the acupuncture points of the human body, and I remember their locations accurately. For the needle….’ Murong Xue removed the comb from her hair and scattered it into numerous skeleton roots: “I will use these instead!”
‘Are you sure?’ Murong Ye looked at the thin silver pieces.
Murong Xue smiled and patted Murong Ye’s shoulder, then carefully told him: ‘You are my lookout, do not let others come to bother me!’
Looking at her eyes glittering confidently, Murong Ye started to believe his sister: ‘Then I will be waiting and guarding outside the woods, if anything happens, shout my name loudly!’
‘Ok.’ Murong Xue nodded. After watching Murong Ye pass through the woods, she untied her waist ribbon and slipped out of her long skirt, jumped into the hot spring pool in her underwear.
The warm spring water surrounded her; the hot steam was pervasive, infiltrating through her skin. The pain in her body subsided.
Murong Xue felt relieved, but she was aware that soaking in the hot spring can only temporarily restrain the poison, and not eliminate it.
She held one of the silver needles with her white and small hand. The sharp needle tip reflected the moonlight.
For acupuncture treatment, silver needles needed to be stung accurately on various acupuncture points. Murong Xue tried some new acupuncture points, hoping it would help her to eliminate the cold poison and to save her life………………
‘Who is there?’
‘It’s me!’ It was a beautiful male voice which sounded familiar.
Murong Xue looked around attentively, saw a young man approaching her slowly. His white underwear had been soaked in water and was tightly attached to his body. He had broad shoulders, a narrow waist profile, and a good looking face. He was Ouyang Shaochen!
‘Why are you here?’ Murong Xue stared at him in surprise. She felt shy and merely exposed her head and neck above the water. Due to the hot steam, he wouldn’t be able to see Murong Xue’s body as long as he stood two to three meters away from her.
‘This hot spring villa is owned by my family. What’s so strange about me being here?’ Ouyang Shaochen said clearly with a smile.
Murong Xue was stunned, how come her brother didn’t remind her of this? If she knew this hot spring villa belonged to Xiao Yao family, she would think twice………………..
As she had been granted access to the hot springs by the steward, she didn’t think she was in the wrong: ‘Your family owns so many hot springs, why would you be here?’
Murong Xue looks beautiful when she is angry.
Ouyang Shaochen said softly: ‘I have been here for a quarter of an hour, and you have just arrived…………..’
Murong Xue choked, she realized she couldn’t blame him: ‘Why did you keep quiet then?’ Fortunately, Murong Xue did not get naked.
Ouyang Shaochen casually said: ‘I was sleeping until I heard the splashing sound of water!’
‘You!’ She didn’t believe that. How come the conversation between her and her brother did not wake Ouyang Shaochen up, but the splashing sound of the water did?
Both of them stared at each other; looking at those obsidian-like pupils of their eyes.
Murong Xue was stunned, would Ouyang Shaochen still remember that last time when she purposely ruined his chess game? She thought it would be better for her to get away immediately.
She grabbed her skirt and put it on. When she was preparing to leave the shore, all of a sudden she was pulled back by a huge force. She stumbled back a few steps and fell into the hot spring.
‘Ouyang Shaochen!’ Murong Xue’s hair and clothes got all wet. As her wet clothes clung to her slim figure, she fiercely glared at Ouyang Shaochen.
