Capítulo 1921: Chapter 1920: Turmoil Over Healing
A group of people imdiately approached the Dragon-Horse.
Long Fei accompanied the Seventh Princess, chuckling lightly, “I almost got fooled by you. You ca for the Dragon-Horse, and I thought you ca specifically to see ?”
The Seventh Princess clung to his arm, pouting, “You’re wrong to say that. This task was originally for my Crown Prince brother. I ca all the way here to see you, despite the effort, so don’t be ungrateful and say such things about .”
“Can’t you speak normally?”
Long Fei was breaking into a sweat, her coquettish voice making his skin crawl with goosebumps.
However, the Seventh Princess laughed heartily, returning to normal, “Don’t all n like won who act spoiled? Isn’t talking like this charming?”
Long Fei said, “It depends on the situation, right? Why change yourself for n?”
The Seventh Princess playfully asked, “So, do you like my bossy side or my coy side better?”
Long Fei coughed twice, “Do you want the truth?”
“Obviously!”
The Seventh Princess rolled her eyes at him.
He smiled honestly, “I don’t like either.”
“Get lost!”
The Seventh Princess raised her hand, pinching him, and reminded him, “Enough joking; I’m here to tell you to seize this opportunity. The Dragon-Horse is a treasure of our Imperial Family, yet in this generation, it hasn’t left any offspring. Father is anxious and has summoned physicians nationwide for treatnt, but there’s been no solution. If you succeed in this task, you will surely rise greatly.”
Long Fei raised his hands, stretched lazily, and said sowhat indifferently, “So, you’re here to ask for my help, huh? I’ve been demoted here to feed horses, fined my money, and you still want to cure his horse? My cheap master’s plans are too ticulous!”
The Seventh Princess laughed and scolded, “You’re gaining an advantage and still being ungrateful. You know how many Spirit Stones you robbed from the Nine Clans. Father fined you so Spirit Stones but shouldered how much pressure for you? If not for him, could you peacefully feed horses here?”
Long Fei said, “How do you know others can’t do it, but I can?”
The Seventh Princess hugged him with a smile, starting to speak coquettishly again, “Who are you? You’re my husband, the Seventh Princess’s. A one-in-a-million genius. With you taking action, the Dragon-Horse can definitely co back to life!”
Long Fei shivered at the cheesiness but had a smug face, patting her shoulder, joking, “Sigh, I’ve hidden so deeply, yet you discovered it. You’re more impressive than , with eyes that can identify a genius.”
“Get out of here, give you so sunshine, and you really dare to shine!”
The Seventh Princess laughed until she couldn’t stand straight, completely forgetting her princess decorum.
Only with Long Fei could she feel so relaxed.
With others, they either valued her power or her beauty and couldn’t communicate with her naturally.
Li Jinxuan saw her so happy, also feeling delighted from behind.
Her brother, Li Yuanqing, was beside her, frowning as he watched her, thinking to himself, could this girl really have fallen for this Monster Consort?
The group approached while the physicians had already completed their diagnosis of the Dragon-Horse.
They wiped the sweat from their brows, shaking their heads silently.
The Seventh Princess stepped forward and asked, “Ladies and gentlen, what is the situation?”
Everyone exchanged glances, and an elder with significant seniority answered the Seventh Princess, “Princess, forgive my bluntness. The Dragon-Horse’s Blood Qi is dried up and is already at a dying age. No matter how many supplents it takes, it’s to no avail!”
A group of physicians sighed and said, “Indeed, the Divine Beast Bloodline differs from other bloodlines. They possess strong drug resistance in their bodies. Ordinary herbs are utterly useless to them. Perhaps a legendary Spiritual Root or Divine dicine could extend its lifespan.”
“Princess, if there’s no way, you must prepare for the worst! Extract its bloodline to continue the next generation; even inheriting a bit is sothing!”
“…”
The group of physicians sighed and shook their heads, no one daring to take on this task regardless of the reward.
Long Fei glanced over, seeing a Jin Lin Dragon-Horse with a deer horn on its head, lying on the ground with dried-up Blood Qi, appearing elderly and frail.
Divine Beasts find it hard to take form; this Dragon-Horse’s millennium of life is a testant to its essence.
After the physicians spoke, even it shed tears of resignation, having lost its divine beast aura.
Its tears moved everyone present, all feeling a sense of helplessness akin to a hero at sunset.
“Let give it a try!”
Long Fei stood forward and crouched down in front of the Dragon-Horse.
He reached out to touch the Dragon-Horse’s head.
A coachman exclaid in shock, “Sir, you mustn’t!”
The nearby physicians also called out, “Everyone, step back!”
A hero’s fall cannot allow others to insult it.
Especially head-touching; those who’ve fed the Dragon-Horse know it’s a grave disrespect.
If the Dragon-Horse flared up, everyone within a hundred ters would suffer.
But strangely, as Long Fei touched it, it didn’t resist at all!
Everyone exchanged glances.
All the coachn and physicians stared wide-eyed, secretly wondering if the Dragon-Horse was truly done for, allowing anyone to touch its head?
The Seventh Princess smiled knowingly, having noticed earlier that the Dragon-Horse did emit a surge of anger.
But she didn’t know why it suddenly retracted the anger.
Li Yuanqing, seeing this, excitedly asked, “Brother Jiang, do you have a solution?”
A group of physicians was also curiously focused on Long Fei, with a look of “we couldn’t do it, can a young man like you possibly treat it?”
An old man bluntly reminded him, “Consort Prince, the Dragon-Horse is imasurably precious, so you must act with caution. If any mistake occurs, how could we possibly explain to the Emperor?”
Long Fei asked with a smile, “What is this physician’s na?”
The old man didn’t reply, but the elder beside him flattered, “This is the first Elder of Alchemy Cauldron Sect within Heaven-Piercing Palace, Xiao Yanming.”
Long Fei smiled, “So it’s Elder Xiao from the Xiao Family, my apologies, my apologies.”
He finally understood why this Elder couldn’t see eye to eye with him.
The Xiao Family and he were arch-rivals in Celestial Mystery City, let alone here in Celestial Realms City, where he made the Xiao Family suffer greatly.
Xiao Yanming asked him, “You claim you can treat the Dragon-Horse, so tell us, what is the root of the Dragon-Horse’s ailnt? Do you possess heaven-defying Spiritual dicine? I refuse to believe it; the Blood Qi is dried up, its life has run its course, and you can extend the life of this Dragon-Horse?”
Long Fei smiled, “Everything Elder Xiao said is correct; the Dragon-Horse’s ailnt root is indeed the dried-up Blood Qi and its nearing life expectancy. I don’t have any Spiritual dicine, but I can indeed extend its life.”
“Without Spiritual dicine, how will you extend its life? Are you just posturing to entertain everyone?”
Xiao Yanming wore a look of disbelief, with every physician sharing the sa expression.
Long Fei laughed, “Just because you don’t know sothing doesn’t an it doesn’t exist. Just because you can’t do sothing doesn’t an others can’t either. Elder Xiao, don’t speak too confidently. Otherwise, you may find yourself embarrassed later.”
Xiao Yanming perked up, seemingly grasping a handle on Long Fei as he deliberately challenged him, “Alright, since you’re so confident, I’ll make a bet with you. If you cure the Dragon-Horse’s ailnt, I’ll acknowledge you as my master and be at your command from now on. If you fail, you must declare to the world that you beco my servant, staying by my side to serve for three years. What do you say?”
The Seventh Princess couldn’t stand it, interjecting, “Elder Xiao, you’re being too calculative. If you lose, you beco a disciple, yet if my husband loses, he becos a servant? He’s my father’s Direct Disciple; are you not insulting my father?”
Elder Xiao blushed deeply, hastily bowing and apologizing, “Princess, this is a man’s bet, unrelated to you or the Emperor!”
“Please, Princess, calm down!”
“Elder Xiao absolutely didn’t an it that way!”
“Princess, such words shouldn’t be said lightly!”
“…”
Other physicians quickly knelt and pleaded on his behalf.
Elder Xiao Yanming from the Xiao Family is a mighty figure in the physician’s world, especially in the Beast dical World, where he holds significant prestige.
Even a princess can’t lightly deal with him.
Long Fei watched from the side, smiling lightly, “Ziling, don’t trouble an old man. How about this: if I win, Elder Xiao will beco my servant, serving by my side for three years. Wouldn’t that be fair?”
“You…”
Xiao Yanming’s face fell, not expecting Long Fei’s arrogance.
However, he had confidence in himself and challenged Long Fei, “It’s settled then. You’re not allowed to use any Spiritual dicine. Let see how you treat the Dragon-Horse!”
