Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 510: Chapter 368: Hateful Victory Curse, This is Soul Departure

Yue Xilou once again gave a fervent order!

Little Bun, upon hearing this, stood dumbfounded with his chubby little hands scratching his head, completely at a loss!

”Wow! Fairy Jian Jia! Is it that Fairy Jian Jia?” Borjigin Nian, who was next to him, heard the name of Fairy Jian Jia and immediately turned his head in shock to look at Yue Xilou, excitedly pressing on, ”Is it that Fairy Jian Jia who danced to the skies and stirred Capital Region twelve years ago?”

Yue Xilou stared at her exposed shoulder, his expression subtly changing, gradually turning into joy.

”It is said that Fairy Jian Jia’s dance moves are graceful like a fairy, and she became famous in the Itinerant World twelve years ago as the most beautiful woman of that era!” Borjigin Nian, who always had a special interest in beautiful men and women, now reminisced with a wistful expression, ”However, it seems she has vanished for about ten years. If it weren’t for her disappearance, the title of the most beautiful woman under heaven wouldn’t have been snatched away by that little bitch Huo Shuixian!”

”Yue Xilou, the one you are bringing back, is that rumored supremely beautiful Fairy Jian Jia, right?” Borjigin Nian looked at Yue Xilou with hopeful eyes, waiting for his affirmative answer.

But Yue Xilou kept staring at her bare shoulder, without even blinking.

”Yikes! Pervert!” Seeing this, Borjigin Nian quickly covered herself and glared, shouting angrily.

”Xiao Gu Ze, what are you standing there stupefied for? Go send the message now!” Yue Xilou commanded without even looking back, in a cold voice.

”Ah? Oh oh! I’m on it! Going right now!” Little Bun, snapping out of his bewildered state, instinctively responded. As he turned around, he noticed his Peacock, Lion, and Tiger intensely staring at the girl’s disheveled clothes and reminded him in embarrassment, ”Uhm... I’m really off to send the message now! You take your time looking... just don’t let others see...”

Staring intensely at a girl with disheveled clothes doesn’t sound very nice!

Little Bun thought for a moment; his Lion and Tiger seemed really anxious, so he decided to first write the letter to Granny Master Ru Hua and then come back to watch the drama!

Fairy Jian Jia... sounds like a beautiful dancer...

Little Bun wrinkled his nose, no matter how beautiful any beauty was, in his eyes, his mother was the most beautiful of all! No one could compare!

”Yue Xilou, you’re still looking! You’re still looking! Do you believe I will gouge out your eyeballs?”

”How did Gu Changsheng manage to pull it off in the end?”

”You go ask her! Why are you clinging to me? Let me tell you, you said it yourself, you look at me, and you have to marry me, Granny heard you loud and clear, don’t even think about reneging!”

”It’s rumored that once Gu insects enter the flesh upon contact with blood, they dissolve immediately... how could they be removed...”

The voices of Yue Xilou, sounding bewildered, and Borjigin Nian, persistent as ever, occasionally came from Clear Breeze Tower, causing the passing boys to look at each other before shaking their heads and walking away.

Both the masters inside are tough nuts to crack!

They better stay as far away as possible!

...

As night fell, another day passed, yet Gu Changsheng remained unconscious!

This time, not only were the people in the manor becoming anxious, but even Yue Xilou, who had felt nothing amiss initially, could not help but grow serious.

”Wasn’t it said that she was just sleeping, just a bit deeper? It doesn’t make sense that she hasn’t woken up after more than three days!”

”Yeah! What should we do now? What exactly should we do?”

Ning Er, standing outside the door, was turning in circles out of anxiety, incessantly muttering.

”What if, I risk my life to be at the mercy of Prince Bao, and inform our master about this matter?” Seeing her so anxious, Si Xi also grew agitated suddenly.

People have seen someone sleep, but never someone who sleeps and doesn’t wake up!

One or two days might still be explainable, but it has been over three days now!

”No way! The Crown Prince of Southern Chen has already arrived, and based on the timing, the person behind him should be arriving soon too. If we disturb our master at this time, that would be truly unforgivable!” Kun Nu said in a voice as resolute as a grinding wheel.

Upon hearing this, Si Xi’s head drooped even further.

Such a major incident involving Lady Changsheng was being concealed from them, and if their master were to find out, who knows how he would react!

Thinking about it made Si Xi worry even more!

Just then, Hu Yihai and his son, along with Doctor Xu and a few others, were invited over.

Seeing them enter the inner chamber, Si Xi and the others quickly followed nervously.

Examining pulses, taking turns to examine pulses!

Under everyone’s hopeful and anxious gaze, the doctors all shook their heads.

”From the pulse, there really doesn’t seem to be anything amiss. I may be incompetent and my medical skills lacking, but it doesn’t make sense that so many of us have diagnosed it wrong!”

In the disbelieving eyes of those present, Hu Tiandong reiterated his diagnosis once more!

”This is impossible, if there really were nothing amiss, how could Changsheng’s beloved daughter continue to sleep without waking?” Mr. Ban Shan furrowed his brow, shaking his head.

”Exactly! It’s been over three days now, even if she was exhausted and slept deeply, she should have woken up by now!” Dong Lei also did not believe it, anxiously stamping his foot by the window, ”It’s all my fault for being useless, for not properly learning medical skills from my wife, I can’t even help a bit!”

”The pulse is indeed normal, the vital signs of Lady Changsheng are also normal, she really doesn’t seem to be ailing!” Hu Yihai, seeing that people were not convinced, quickly spoke up in support of his son.

”Indeed! From the pulse, it really does seem like she is just asleep!”

”Yes, if it were an illness, it wouldn’t make sense that so many of us couldn’t diagnose it. Lady Changsheng indeed just fell asleep!”

”She really did fall asleep, don’t doubt us!”

”...”

”No! She is not asleep!”

A group of doctors were each expressing their views when they were suddenly interrupted by a rebuttal.

The voice that interrupted them was hoarse and drawn-out, with a distinct accent unique to the Foreign Tribe!

The crowd was stunned momentarily and then abruptly turned towards the source of the voice.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Tan Nv was completely concealed within a black robe, her head slightly bowed, and her long hair cascading down as she slowly walked towards the bed.

Her steps were very slow, as if the footage was slowed down, making every movement visibly clear!

The black robe and long hair, mysterious and unfathomable!

Even though the crowd had interacted with her numerous times, they could not help but feel a slight tremor in their hearts, unable to stop thinking about her pair of chaotic, mysterious eyes!

Open chest surgery, recovery is by no means an overnight achievement!

For Tan Nv, each step she took was excruciating pain in her chest!

But she had to come, otherwise, she would not be able to fulfill her mission!

Thus, every step she took was unusually firm!

The crowd came back to their senses from their confusion. Hu Tiandong and Si Xi reacted the quickest, immediately stepping forward to support her.

”Tan Nv, how many times have I told you that you can’t move around in your condition. Lady Changsheng said you have to rest in bed for at least a month before you can get out of bed!” Hu Tiandong spoke disapprovingly and accusatorily!

This was a person whom Lady Changsheng had spent countless efforts to save!

If something went wrong, once Lady Changsheng woke up, they would be unable to explain to Lady Changsheng!

”What did you just say? This old man did not hear clearly. Say it again!” Mr. Ban Shan, looking at Tan Nv who had been helped to the front of the bed, anxiously asked.

”Right, you just before your entrance said that Lady Changsheng is not asleep, is that not so? But according to our diagnosis, Lady Changsheng is indeed unharmed; she is merely asleep!” Hu Tiandong recalled the words Tan Nv had said earlier and hurriedly asked.

Tan Nv stood by the window, slightly bowed her head and her long hair immediately fell down, covering her face. She looked at Gu Changsheng, who was quietly lying on the bed, and slowly shook her head. Her voice was still hoarse and lengthy, with an accent of the Foreign Tribe, she said, ”She is not asleep!”

The voice of Tan Nv was ethereal and detached, yet inexplicably convincing!

”If she is not asleep, then what exactly is wrong with her? Why is she in this unresponsive slumber?” Mr. Ban Shan heard this, his face showing a flash of joy, yet he was anxious as he asked.

All the doctors said she was asleep, they prescribed no medicine and provided no treatment, and his beloved daughter Changsheng remained unresponsive—something was clearly not right!

Only by identifying the ailment could they treat it appropriately, and then his daughter Changsheng might wake up!

Mr. Ban Shan couldn’t help but place his hope on this mysterious woman!

It was said that she had been sent by Zhou Mu, who had waged battles far and wide for over a decade, and the frontier never lacked skilled and unusual people; perhaps, she truly knew what the ailment was!

The heart of the surrounding crowd evidently thought the same, and thus pairs of hopeful eyes instantly focused on Tan Nv.

Under the scrutiny of the crowd, Tan Nv once again slowly spoke, ”She has never been asleep! Three Souls and Six Spirits, five are missing. She is missing two Souls and three Spirits; this is undoubtedly the Soul Separation Syndrome!”

”Ah!”

”Huh!”

The crowd upon hearing this, all exclaimed in unison!

Soul Separation Syndrome! Soul Separation Syndrome! Isn’t this the talk of Hateful Victory?

Mr. Ban Shan’s face also showed a hint of fear, but he still mustered the courage to ask, ”Are you sure this is Soul Separation Syndrome?”

Tan Nv slightly nodded upon hearing this, ”This indeed is Soul Separation Syndrome without a doubt. Someone has performed the Hateful Victory Curse on her, that’s why she is in this state!”

”Who! Who is so malicious! Great Zhou explicitly prohibits the Hateful Victory Witchcraft; who is so bold to dare commit such heinous and vicious deeds!” Zhou Zongbao, upon hearing this, immediately shouted angrily.

”Find this person, and I will have him sliced into a thousand pieces!” Si Xi also spoke hatefully with gritted teeth.

The crowd instantly became indignant and started cursing vehemently, and the room immediately plunged into chaos.

”All of you shut up! Now is not the time to find the culprit, the most urgent matter is how to break this Hateful Victory Curse and wake up Changsheng’s beloved daughter!” Mr. Ban Shan’s face was dark, his brows tightly furrowed as he coldly commanded.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately shut their mouths, not daring to make another noise!

Indeed, the most pressing issue was to awaken Lady Changsheng; as for the perpetrator of the Hateful Victory Witchcraft, they would find them sooner or later!

”Tan Nv, since you were able to discern that Changsheng’s beloved daughter is afflicted by Soul Separation Syndrome, you must have some knowledge in this area. Do you have a way to break this Hateful Victory Curse and wake her?” Mr. Ban Shan asked with a hopeful face.

Upon hearing this, the crowd once again turned their eyes towards Tan Nv...
