Chang Sheng looked at Ming Shu intently.
Is she anticipating it?
He shouldn’t have told her about this.
According to the records of the Shen Wu country, every time the demon king appeared, there would be catastrophic consequences.
Hence, they would never let the demon king be born.
However, no one knew when the demon king would appear. If they were lucky, they could prevent his birth. If not, they would only be able to find him after he had gained some of his power.
Chang Sheng sat there for a while longer before returning to his room.
...
The Lianjing sword floated in just as the sun was rising. It was not red anymore. It had turned blue... what was it trying to replicate this time?
Chang Sheng’s voice came from the door. “This is the Duan Xu sword belonging to the Sect Leader of Chiyang Sect.”
Chiyang Sect?
Ming Shu felt that this stupid sword was up to no good.
She just fought with people from the Chiyang Sect yesterday and today, it had turned into their Sect Leader’s sword.
Ming Shu dug a hole and buried the sword.
Chang Sheng looked at her. He was speechless.
Knock knock knock...
“Physician Chang Sheng.”
“Physician Chang Sheng, please open the door.”
Chang Sheng placed his basin down and opened the door in the courtyard. A huge group of people flocked in. Several people were carried in. There was blood all over their bodies. They looked terrible.
“Put them down in the courtyard,” Chang Sheng ordered them.
“Physician Chang Sheng, you must save my son. He was fine all along. If something happens to him, I will not be able to live.”
“Physician Chang Sheng, please save my little brother.”
“Physician Chang Sheng.”
Chang Sheng examined the first person. He said to the noisy crowd, “Please keep quiet and move to the side.”
The courtyard was filled with people. Everyone could only move to where Ming Shu was.
Ming Shu sat on her chair and stepped on the hilt of the Lianjing sword. Everyone was worried about their loved ones so they didn’t think much about Ming Shu’s presence. They were just stunned for a moment.
Chang Sheng used normal herbs for normal people.
“He is filled with demonic aura. He will die soon,” Ming Shu said softly.
Everyone glared at her.
Physician Chang Sheng hadn’t even said anything yet. Why was this lady talking rubbish!
“Miss July, please put down the white kiwi fruit. I need to use it in a while,” Chang Sheng said without raising his head.
Ming Shu froze. She put the fruit in her hand back onto the shelf beside her. She was just about to bite the fruit.
As Chang Sheng was examining the patients, more people got carried in.
“Miss, please put away your chair.”
Ming Shu glanced at him. “Troublesome.”
She pulled out the Lianjing sword from the ground. Everyone stepped back in fear.
Ming Shu dragged the Lianjing sword and squatted under the shelter.
She heard that all the medicine shops in the city were filled with people. This was the only place that still had space.
There were teeth marks on their body. They seemed to be bitten. All of them were men and they were of all ages.
Some people died the moment they reached the medicine shops.
No one died in Chang Sheng’s place.
Furnaces for herbal decoction were set up. Everyone took the initiative and started making the medicines.
By the time Ming Shu finished her snacks, Chang Sheng was still hard at work.
Most of the herbs in the courtyard were used so there were none left for her to eat.
She placed her hand on her chin and waited in front of a furnace. The smell of something delicious was coming from the furnace. It didn’t contain herbs.
A child lying beside her stared at her with his large black eyes.
Ming Shu shifted to the side. There is no use looking at me. There is none for you.
The little kid had a pale face and his body was covered in bandages. He was breathing heavily. There were no adults around him and he looked extremely pitiful.
Ming Shu: “...”
I will not give it to you!
...
“I can only stabilize their condition. If you want them to get better, you need to get Dan medicine from the immortal sects.”
Chang Sheng wiped the sweat off his forehead and spoke to the people.
“Dan medicine? Where are we supposed to find them? Physician Chang Sheng, is there no other way?”
Chang Sheng shook his head. “This is all I can help with. There is demonic aura in their bodies. My medicine cannot expel the demonic aura. Luckily, the demonic aura didn’t reach their vital organs yet so if you all are able to get Dan medicine from the immortal sects, they can be saved.”
The immortal sects referred to the three sect and six clans
“It was really done by a demon.”
“I knew that such strange things had to be done by a demon.”
“What shall we do? Will the demon come back? Will we be in danger?”
One of the ladies sobbed and pleaded, “Physician Chang Sheng, is there really nothing else you can do?”
Chang Sheng was humble. “I am just a physician.”
These people had received help from Chang Sheng before so they didn’t dare to pester him after he said that. Some people left hurriedly. They were going to find someone from the immortal sects.
However, everyone knew that they might not be able to get the Dan medicine even if they found them.
Chang Sheng washed his hands and cleaned himself up. He took some time before he came out again.
The courtyard had resumed its quietness. He glanced at Ming Shu.
She was staring at a child.
“Miss July.”
“Whose stupid little kid is this!” Ming Shu pointed at the child.
Chang Sheng looked at the child who was lying on the ground. The demonic aura on his body had faded a little. He looked better too. “This child...”
Ming Shu hugged her bowl and said resentfully, “He drank a bowl of my soup. Is he trying to starve me to death? Why are children so insidious? Humans...”
“What did you feed him?”
Chang Sheng looked at the empty pot.
“I boiled some soup. It was not even enough for me to fill my own stomach.”
Chang Sheng: “...”
Chang Sheng took out a packet of pastries. Someone gave it to him just now.
“Good people will be blessed.” Ming Shu put down her empty bowl. “What did you ask me?”
“What did you feed him?”
“Soup.” Ming Shu took a piece of pastry.
“What soup?”
“Ten tonics soup.”
“...”
Chang Sheng looked at the people in the courtyard. He didn’t choose to probe any further. Even if she told him the answer, she would not help. It was better for these people to seek help from the immortal sects.
The immortal sects would definitely do something about this.
Chang Sheng didn’t say anything, but that didn’t mean that the rest were blind.
There were no family members around the child, but his clothes were made with good materials. He looked like someone from a rich family.
The first one to notice something amiss with the child was a woman sitting beside a man.
Then, the people around her started noticing it too.
“Why is he all right?”
“Why is he fine now? Physician Chang Sheng, what did you feed him? Why is he fine when my son is still like this.”
“Physician Chang Sheng...”
“Physician Chang Sheng, say something. Didn’t you say that you can’t save us? Why are you leaving us to die?”
The people gathered around the child. The child shrunk back in fright.
Chang Sheng was in the spotlight now.
What was the child fine? Why were their loved ones still lying on the ground?
Chang Sheng looked at Ming Shu helplessly. She was the one who caused all this.
However, Ming Shu was writing words on the floor with one hand on her chin. She didn’t even look at him. It seemed as if this business had nothing to do with her.
Chang Sheng: “...”
Where is the door? I want to throw her out.
