Chapter 2413: Chapter 2414: Methods of Treating Illness

”Later, the man’s corpse hung on the row of thorns, and no one dared to take it down. Even the Boss didn’t say a word.”

Fo Lanying couldn’t help but mutter, ”Won’t it stink?”

The pirate seemed not to hear her and continued speaking absentmindedly, ”The strange thing is, two days later, the man turned into a mummy, as if he had been dried by the wind, dry skin wrapping the bones...”

As he spoke, he shivered. He was under the influence of Bai Ruozhu’s poison, making his mind very relaxed and allowing him to speak the secrets hidden deep in his heart without defense. Even in such a state, he still shivered, showing how deeply the shadow of that matter dwelled in his heart.

The effect of the drug had almost worn off, and the three’s eyes gradually became clear, but soon they showed a look of terror.

”Bitch, what did you feed us? What did we say?” someone shouted.

Fo Lanying kicked his chest, laughed wickedly, and said, ”I was considering not doing anything since your confessions were okay, but your mouths are really filthy!”

With that, she didn’t care if the other two spoke or not and proceeded to punch and kick the three.

Bai Ruozhu twitched the corner of her mouth. Clearly, you wanted to hit someone and found a good excuse.

She let Fo Lanying play slowly and returned to the upper deck.

She then relayed the interrogation results to everyone and shared her conclusion.

”That military strategist is also a pharmacist and might even use poison, besides being a mechanist. He can control the mechanical devices on the boat, but this mechanical technique is different from that of the Jiuli Clan.”

”I feel that person is very dangerous; it’s uncertain how many mechanical devices he has left on the boat. He probably escaped before we boarded, most likely to the island.”

Jiang Yichun frowned, ”Do you think he might rescue Black Boss and his crew?”

”It’s not impossible, but without a ship, even if they are rescued, they won’t cause much trouble temporarily.” Bai Ruozhu said.

The other few nodded; on the sea, a ship is too crucial.

Tang Feng stood up, looking somewhat worried, ”If this person finds us, this ship might not be safe. Moreover, when we arrive in Fusang, we must dock at the pier, and with limited personnel, we can’t leave too many people on the boat.”

Bai Ruozhu and the others also started pondering this issue. This ship is much better than Danliang’s best large official ship; since it’s in their possession, who would be willing to give it up?

”How about not docking at the Fusang pier and stopping at an island in the sea instead? I can stay on the ship and watch?” Yuan Licheng proposed.

Bai Ruozhu shook her head, ”If that person is a mechanist, he might have special markers on the ship, allowing him to find the ship.”

Everyone started feeling troubled but couldn’t think of a good solution for the moment, so they could only think and walk at the same time.

At night, Fo Lanying’s illness flared up again. This time, her screams were softer; people on the boat were used to it, and no one was drastically shocked anymore.

However, Duannian was woken up and couldn’t help asking Wa Wei, but Wa Wei didn’t know much. It wasn’t until the next day that she learned some things from Yizi and felt very sympathetic toward Fo Lanying.

Unexpectedly, Fo Lanying came looking for Bai Ruozhu with an excited expression, saying, ”Ruozhu, last night my illness wasn’t as painful as before. I know this wasn’t just slowly getting better little by little, but it suddenly improved a lot. I feel I might really get better!”

Bai Ruozhu looked at her excited expression and suddenly widened her eyes, ”Are you saying the island’s magnetic field has a healing effect on you?”

Fo Lanying nodded, ”After thinking it over, it’s the only possibility. At that time, the closer I got to the center, the worse I felt, with severe headaches, but it gradually relieved after leaving. I didn’t expect the illness was lighter this time, and when I calculated carefully later, this episode was delayed by five or six days!”

Fo Lanying continued, ”I think if I adapt more over there, maybe the episodes will be delayed further, the pain will decrease, and I might really recover!”

Bai Ruozhu became excited too. She was at her wit’s end regarding Fo Lanying’s illness. If there is such an opportunity, she is genuinely happy for Fo Lanying.

”That’s great; if only we had stayed longer on that island.” Bai Ruozhu said.

Fo Lanying shook her head with a smile, ”No rush, I’ve discussed with A Cheng that once we finish the tasks in Fusang Country, we’ll stay on that island during the return journey. Who knows how long my illness will take to treat, maybe years. We’ll head to Danliang once I’m fully healed.”

Bai Ruozhu thought for a moment and said, ”When we reach Fusang, I’ll arrange for a ship to take you over. Since you can relieve the pain over there, you might as well go sooner.”

She had already decided to let the official ship take Fo Lanying to avoid the Harmonious being tracked by that military strategist, endangering Fo Lanying and the others.

”No rush, you all are in a strange land in Fusang, lacking manpower by your side. How could we leave? Even if you make me go, I wouldn’t be at ease treating my illness, which would be bad.” Fo Lanying spoke sincerely. Many things had happened between her and Bai Ruozhu, once enemies eager to kill each other. But with all the changes, she truly regarded Bai Ruozhu as her best friend.

Bai Ruozhu felt deeply moved, ”Lan Ying, thank you.”

”Thank me for what? I haven’t dealt with a few Fusang villains yet, and you want me to live on a deserted island; how could I bear it?” Fo Lanying said with her hands on her hips, looking excited.

Bai Ruozhu couldn’t help but laugh, ”Can your Yuan Licheng handle your attitude?”

Fo Lanying proudly said, ”He likes my style; you don’t get it.”

C’mon, I’ve been in love and married earlier than you; what wouldn’t I understand?

The two chatted happily, feeling that problems were being solved one by one, reducing the pressure on Bai Ruozhu’s mind a bit.

...

On the deserted island, a group of pirates felt restless. They were bored being trapped on the island. The coconuts had been raided by Bai Ruozhu and her team, and there wasn’t much left on the island to replenish their vitality. They didn’t know how long they could hold on.

The military strategist was not worried, pacing around the cave area daily, unknown what he was studying.

”Military strategist, aren’t you worried?” Black Boss couldn’t help but ask.

The man laughed, ”Worried about what? You were missing for ten days, no food or drink, unaware, and came out just with some sore legs, right? If worse comes to worst, we’ll find a way to go missing again. You’ll be fine.”

Black Boss’ expression changed a little, ”What if we can’t get out?”

The man was full of energy, ”With me here, how could you not find your way out? This place is a treasure; it’s unfortunate that those Danliang people are shortsighted, unable to use it, allowing me to have this opportunity.”

”Use it?” Black Boss was a little puzzled.

”When we leave, I’ll find a way to take this treasure with us.” The man laughed.
