Chapter 170: Chapter 40 Sharing the Same Bed and Pillow

The Feng Residence in Xia Capital, from its layout, was quite similar to the one in Li City; every brick and tile crafted with ingenuity and uniqueness. Yet in terms of size, it was even larger.

Ye Lingyue couldn’t help but be astounded. In the inch-gold land of Xia Capital, to purchase such a large mansion would undoubtedly come at a sky-high price. Indeed, the Feng Residence was a testament to the immense royal favor in Daxia.

After being announced, Ye Lingyue entered the Feng Residence, only to see Old Sir Mu anxiously pacing like an ant on a hot tin roof.

By his side stood more than a dozen Xia Capital doctors, rigid as posts, and several alchemists, all wearing troubled expressions, waiting beside Old Sir Mu.

Among them, there were even a few Imperial Physicians from the Imperial Palace, which spoke volumes of Feng Xun’s high regard in Emperor Xia’s heart.

"Is it you?" Upon seeing Ye Lingyue, Old Sir Mu didn’t know whether to be happy or angry. Prince Feng’s condition had initially improved greatly at the Hot Spring Palace, but with Ye Lingyue’s appearance, his illness flared up again.

Only then did Ye Lingyue learn that Feng Xun had come back soaked from the rain that day and had come down with an unrelenting fever. No matter how many elixir pills were tried or how many doctors were consulted, Feng Xun’s fever refused to subside.

Ye Lingyue stepped forward and saw Feng Xun’s face red as a tomato; when she touched his forehead, it was alarmingly hot.

As she opened Feng Xun’s shirt, she saw that the strange black totem, which had appeared before in the Yunmeng Swamp, had emerged once again.

On one hand was the persistent high fever and on the other, the mysterious totem causing the Cold Syndrome was at work again; Feng Xun’s body was in a state as if trapped between fire and ice.

It was no wonder that so many doctors and alchemists from Xia Capital were at a loss over Feng Xun’s fever.

"Old Sir Mu, please have everyone leave. I’ll take care of him. I’ll need some ice blocks, too; I hope you can help prepare them," said Ye Lingyue. Although not a doctor, after she had saved Feng Xun a few times, Old Sir Mu subconsciously regarded her as a healer.

After Old Sir Mu left, Ye Lingyue released Little Zhiyo from Hong Meng Heaven.

Little Zhiyo jumped onto the bed, probed Feng Xun’s forehead with a paw, and felt the burning heat, almost cooking Little Zhiyo’s paw, which made him hastily retract it.

The water in front of Ye Lingyue froze into ice.

She wrapped the ice and applied it to Feng Xun’s head; every half an hour, she would change it.

Throughout this process, Ye Lingyue also controlled the Cauldron Breath, gradually absorbing the cold energy from Feng Xun’s body. After nearly four hours, Ye Lingyue, drenched in sweat, finally saw Feng Xun’s high fever come down.

After being busy all night, Ye Lingyue unwittingly fell asleep leaning against the edge of the bed.

With his long eyelashes trembling, Feng Xun opened his eyes, now clear and bright.

Upon seeing Ye Lingyue, a slight surprise flashed in Feng Xun’s lucid eyes.

"Zhiyo~" Seeing Feng Xun awake, Little Zhiyo intended to wake its master, but Feng Xun made a "hushing" motion.

He lifted Ye Lingyue up and they lay down together on the bed, clothed.

The bed was a bit crowded for two people. Staring at Ye Lingyue’s face, Feng Xun curled up, a warm smile playing on his lips. He felt an unprecedented sense of happiness.

"Young..." Old Sir Mu entered and stopped short, his voice caught in his throat.

What did he see?

On the bed, the young master and Miss Lan were lying together, the young master’s arm half embracing Miss Lan, deeply asleep. Even the entry of Old Sir Mu had not disturbed him.

How many years has it been? Ever since the young master, covered in blood, was brought back, how many years has it been since he had such a sound sleep?

It seems that every time Miss Ye is around, the young master always appears to sleep more peacefully. In fact, his episodes of Cold Syndrome seemed to have happened less frequently of late.

Could it all be because of Miss Ye? Old Sir Mu couldn’t help but wipe the corners of his eyes; he had already made a decision in his heart.

Ye Lingyue slept quite soundly this time. Upon waking up and seeing Feng Xun, who was fast asleep so near at hand, she nearly jolted upright from the bed.

Her face flushed red; how could she have ended up lying next to Feng Xun? She must have been too tired and climbed into his bed unconsciously.

Ye Lingyue drank a few mouthfuls of cold water to calm the restlessness in her heart.

She checked the Cauldron Breath inside her body and was surprised to find that it had increased substantially. She had clearly expended a lot of it while treating Feng Xun, so how come it hadn’t decreased but instead grown?

The Cauldron Breath, which was originally as thin as a small snake, had grown to the thickness of a large one.

Ever since she obtained the Cauldron Breath, Ye Lingyue had tried every method to increase it, but aside from that one time when she swallowed a Water Cauldron Fragment, her Cauldron Breath had not grown.

Could it be because she absorbed the cold energy from Feng Xun’s body?

After much consideration, Ye Lingyue could only come up with this possibility. Realizing this, she was secretly ecstatic. This was a blessing in disguise—it meant that as long as she kept treating Feng Xun, her Cauldron Breath could continue to grow stronger, killing two birds with one stone.

Feng Xun also awoke on the bed.

"Feng Xun, you still have a fever, don’t move around." Ye Lingyue quickly went forward to help him sit up.

When she encountered Feng Xun’s somewhat peculiar gaze, Ye Lingyue was momentarily stunned, recalling the words he had said to her that day. For a moment, neither of them could speak, and an awkward silence ensued.

After a long while, Ye Lingyue let out a sigh.

"Feng Xun, thank you. You’re such a fool, you gave the Elixir Pills to my mother. What if something had happened to you?" Ye Lingyue turned to look at Feng Xun, whose face, due to his high fever, looked as if it was tinged with rouge, exceptionally handsome.

Seeing such a Feng Xun, Ye Lingyue’s heart softened bit by bit.

He’s a man that tugs at one’s heartstrings.

"Why say thanks? My things, if you like them, you can take them all," Feng Xun spoke faintly.

"Even the best elixirs are a waste on me."

"Don’t talk nonsense, I’ll cure you," Ye Lingyue interrupted him.

Feng Xun, gravely ill, looked like a small beast that needed protection. He looked at Ye Lingyue cautiously, his gaze softening her heart further.

Right now, Feng Xun was as enchanting as the moon in the water or a flower in the mirror, yet it felt like he might disappear with a careless moment.

"I will definitely cure you," Ye Lingyue looked at Feng Xun, her eyes exceptionally resolute.

Feng Xun was at a loss for words, yet his heart felt inexplicably warm.

"That day, I heard everything you said," Ye Lingyue’s revelation made Feng Xun’s heart race; she had heard everything he said?
