Reborn As Divine Doctor to Rule the World-Chapter 129 - 130: Holding Pei Huaian

Chapter 129: Chapter 130: Holding Pei Huaian

The mansion was brightly lit; the two of them walked along a small path paved with white marble stones toward the front, where there stood a white wall. Moving forward along the pavilion, they came to a crescent-shaped archway with the words “Shao Hua” carved on a black plaque.

Within the courtyard, there were rock gardens, flowing water, and pavilions—everything one might find in a small manor.

Ah Mo pushed open the door and gestured for Shao He to enter. Pei Huaian lay weakly on a soft couch, his forehead covered with dense sweat, his complexion pale and frightening.

“You’ve arrived.” Upon seeing his visitor, Pei Huaian squeezed out a bitter smile.

Upon hearing this, Shao He did not respond but went over to carefully check his pulse. There was no immediate danger to his life, which allowed him to relax and say, “Fortunately, there is no life-threatening danger. This appears to be a type of aphrodisiac common in certain circles, generally used by women for skin as smooth as porcelain. However, if there is an open wound, it can intensify the pain tenfold.”

“As long as it’s not death, I’m okay.” Pei Huaian took a deep breath and spoke with a hint of jest.

...

Shao He glanced up at him and began unbuttoning his shirt to examine the wounds. “It seems the person who drugged you did not intend to kill you, but rather to make you suffer immensely.”

Upon hearing that his master was not in life-threatening danger, Ah Mo quietly left the room.

Having said this, she took out silver needles and alcohol, wiped them down, and inserted them into several acupoints.

Seeing Shao He busily at work, a soft and fervent look filled Pei Huaian’s eyes as he gazed at her.

After a while, she finally put down the silver needles and took a deep breath, looking at Pei Huaian she said, “Though the secret medicine won’t take your life, I can only stop the pain temporarily. A medicine bath and herbal soup are necessary for a complete detox.”

“Alright.” Pei Huaian immediately instructed Ah Mo to prepare a bath.

Shao He then turned and entered the inner chamber, thinking of the necessary ingredients and, from memory, she prepared the Detoxification Pill and medicinal soup.

Ah Mo had everything ready, looking at his master who was inconvenienced by his legs he hesitated, “Master, your legs…”

When Shao He came out, the room was filled with steam. She poured the prepared prescription into the bath and then handed Ah Mo the black medicine pill she’d prepared.

“Put this in boiling water and let it simmer until it completely dissolves,” Shao He instructed standing nearby.

Ah Mo nodded, glancing at his physically inconvenienced master, he hesitated, “Master, your legs are not convenient, the medicinal bath… I might need to help you into the bath.”

“No need, go and simmer the medicine.” Shao He said, and without delay, stripped him of his robe, leaving only his underpants, then rolled up her sleeves and directly carried him into the bath.

Pei Huaian’s face blushed instantly, stunned as this was the first time he had been picked up by a female.

Ah Mo was even more surprised, his eyes bulging as he swallowed his shock, barely believing what he saw. What astounded him the most was seeing his master blush, his ears red as well.

“What are you still standing there for, don’t you want to detoxify your master?” Shao He turned around. glaring at the person still standing there, she said displeased.

Feeling his master’s deadly gaze, Ah Mo picked up his feet and ran outside, afraid that if he delayed by even a second, his master might actually act on his threat.

Shao He returned to the bath, her expression serious, “I need to remove the silver needles from your body, it might be even more painful than before, but as the toxins are expelled, it will gradually get better.”

“Go ahead.” Pei Huaian gave her a reassuring smile.

Shao He sighed softly, reached into the water, and pulled out the silver needles one by one.

Pei Huaian cried out as a searing pain hit him, causing him to involuntarily inhale a breath of cold air.

He grimaced and tried hard not to groan aloud.

Pei Huaian clenched his teeth and endured the intense pain, his hands gripping the edge of the tub tightly, his fingers white from the force.

Shao He stood nervously nearby, taking a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off his forehead, “Hold on a bit longer.”

Upon hearing her gentle voice, Pei Huaian weakly looked up at her, “It’s okay.”

Those two words used up all his strength; after a quarter of an hour, the pain on his body seemed to lessen somewhat. He slowly released his hands, gradually sliding into the water, his arms bracing the sides of the tub.

“How do you feel now?” Shao He bent down to ask him.

“Hmm, much better.”

“That’s good.”

While they were talking, the door was knocked. Shao He opened it to find Ah Mo holding a medicine soup, so she let him in.

“Take this medicine later. The medicine in your body is nearly cleared out, but you need to be careful in the coming days. Avoid straining the wound, and don’t eat eggs or fish or similar foods.”

After giving her instructions, Shao He asked Ah Mo to lift Pei Huaian out of the bath, her gaze falling on his bare, muscular chest, she quickly averted her eyes, “Maybe change into clean clothes first.”

“Thank you, Doctor Shao, for your help tonight.” Pei Huaian gratefully thanked her.

If it had not been for Shao He’s timely arrival, he would not know how much longer he would have suffered, and his injuries were not something he wanted others to know about.

“It was nothing, not worth mentioning,” Shao He waved off, indicating it was no trouble.

“Let’s talk more after I’ve changed clothes,” Pei Huaian looked at his wet clothes and frowned at her.

“Alright, I’ll go to the pavilion to sit for a while.” Shao He glanced at the embarrassed Ah Mo and turned to leave.
