Chapter 994: Just Take Your Medicine

Ning Shu didn’t say anything and just started rubbing medicinal juice on Xuan Miexiao that warded off mosquitoes. There were a lot of mosquitoes out here. She had no idea how long they were going to have to camp out in the wild like this.

However, Ning Shu had no choice but to continue dragging Xuan Hongyu all over the place like this.

Actually, running around wasn’t bad either. They got to see all sorts of places and get to know the local customs while living with the sky as a blanket and the earth as their hut. These kinds of days were also very nice.

“Master, this subordinate has found out that there’s rumored to be a godly doctor in the Western Regions whose skills reach perfection. Master, he will definitely be able to cure your leprosy. Let’s head to the Western Regions,” said Ning Shu.

Xuan Hongyu’s fanning motion froze for a second, then slight anger appeared on his face. “Are you sure that this prince will still be alive by the time we reach the Western Regions?”

“I’m sure.” Ning Shu nodded.

Xuan Hongyu: ...

Xuan Hongyu fanned himself hard. Finally, he said to Ning Shu, “This prince has decided to return to the capital after all.”

Ning Shu ladled out a bowl of the medicine that had been simmering over the fire and passed it to Xuan Hongyu. “Master, it’s time you take your medicine.”

“Master, your current symptoms don’t look very severe, but once the illness gets to the later stages, even your eyes will be corroded and you’ll go blind. Your skin will also start festering. Master, once we find a godly doctor, he’ll definitely be able to cure you completely,” replied Ning Shu mildly.

Xuan Hongyu glanced at Ning Shu coldly, then stifled his anger as he drank the medicine.

At night, Xuan Hongyu went to sleep in the carriage. Ning Shu crouched on a tree and practiced Unsurpassable Martial Arts while keeping an eye on Xuan Hongyu.

Ning Shu and Xuan Hongyu continued to travel with pauses like this toward the west. Xuan Miexiao was forced to follow them and experience these days of camping out in the wild.

However, as of now, Xuan Miexiao could call Xuan Hongyu dad and would occasionally say some simple words. He could also slowly walk on his own now.

Xuan Hongyu seemed to have found a bit of entertainment in this boring journey, which was to teach Xuan Miexiao how to speak. He’d have Xuan Miexiao repeat whatever he said regardless of whether or not Xuan Miexiao could understand his words.

Xuan Hongyu even shook his head in disappointment while remarking that the general of Chen was very intelligent.

Ning Shu: ...

After a while, Xuan Hongyu stopped making a fuss about returning to the capital. It was probably because they were already pretty far away from the capital by now, so saying that he wanted to head back was pointless.

Every time they passed a town, Ning Shu would head into it to replenish their basic necessities. Every time they faced a check, Ning Shu would just pull up Xuan Hongyu’s sleeve to reveal his sores-covered arm and go straight into the story about how her master was here to see a doctor and such. In the past, Xuan Hongyu reacted very adversely to this, but after it went on a while, he stopped caring.

Xuan Hongyu said that she would face retribution for making use of a dying person like this.

Towards this, Ning Shu: →_→

Xuan Hongyu actually believed in retribution?

Since Ning Shu simmered medicine for Xuan Hongyu every day, Xuan Hongyu’s leprosy stayed in a manageable state and didn’t worsen.

On this trip, Ning Shu and Xuan Hongyu saw a lot of different landscapes. They passed through grasslands and saw herds of cows and sheep, visited a sand city where the houses were all made of mud, and saw the endless stretch of sky and sand in the desert.

They walked through the summer and into the winter, then back to the summer again. As of now, Xuan Miexiao could speak very simple and short sentences clearly.

They had changed horses several times and worn out multiple carriage wheels.

Traveling in the ancient era was seriously very slow.

However, every time they saw different scenery, Ning Shu’s heart would feel very calm and she’d feel very carefree. It was a transition from natural beauties, running water, and households, to the solidary campfires in the desert, this trip was practically a round of spiritual cleansing.

Sometimes Xuan Hongyu wouldn’t even wear his hood and would simply show his face. The current Xuan Hongyu seemed much more carefree compared to before.

Although traveling was tiring, there was a distinctive charm to it. It allowed people to see stunning sceneries and obtain rich experiences, so everything was worth it.
