Chapter 990: Stay Strong!

Xuan Hongyu’s brows were tightly furrowed and his facial muscles were trembling. It looked like he was about to fall apart. “You definitely did something to me.”

“This subordinate really didn’t! Why would this subordinate do something this treacherous to you, Master?” replied Ning Shu with a very earnest expression. “Moreover, this subordinate doesn’t have this ability.”

Xuan Hongyu’s brows were tightly furrowed. He lowered his head slightly, looking a little defeated. In this era, leprosy was fatal.

“Alright, since things are already like this, we should head back after all. Return to the capital,” said Xuan Hongyu indifferently.

Ning Shu: Pfff...

He couldn’t be thinking that since he didn’t have much longer to live, he should just let Xuan Xiaotian capture him, then try to pass this disease onto Xuan Xiaotian?

Ning Shu’s lips twitched as she said, “Master, the capital isn’t safe right now. There are a lot of godly doctors out there in the world, your illness will definitely get better. Master, even if you got leprosy, we still have to stay strong, stay strong!”

Ning Shu encouraged Xuan Hongyu, but Xuan Hongyu just glanced over at her with an indifferent expression. “Did you poison me?”

Xuan Hongyu refused to believe that he had leprosy because he had never come into contact with anyone that had leprosy. How could he suddenly get it just like this?

Ning Shu hastily shook her head. “Master, this subordinate really has no reason to do that. This subordinate is loyal and devoted to Master and would never do something disloyal like this. This subordinate doesn’t know of any poisons that could make someone get syphilis- No, leprosy.”

“Since I got leprosy, why aren’t you scared of me? This thing is infectious after all.” Xuan Hongyu glanced over at Ning Shu.

Ning Shu immediately puffed out her chest and said firmly, “This subordinate is Master’s death soldier. My very life and death exist for your sake. This subordinate’s duty is to go through fire and water for you, Master, so even if you have leprosy, this subordinate isn’t scared.”

Xuan Hongyu laughed coldly. With all the eczema on his face, it was a chilling sight. Such a magnificent face had been ruined just like this. Ning Shu shifted her gaze away as she silently chanted Amitabha Buddha.

Such a beautiful thing had been destroyed. It was a true tragedy.

Xuan Hongyu flipped his hand back and forth to look at it indifferently. Ning Shu was worried that Xuan Hongyu would take it too hard, so she asked, “Master, how do you feel right now? Does it itch? Even if it itches, don’t scratch it. The moment you scratch it, it’ll fester. Master, once we get to the town, let’s find a doctor to take a look and while at it, ask around to see if there are any godly doctors. Afterwards, this subordinate will take you to find the godly doctor.”

“Master, no matter what, don’t scratch, alright?” exhorted Ning Shu again.

Xuan Hongyu hadn’t felt anything before, but after Ning Shu brought up the word itch, his entire body started prickling with an itchy feeling so strong that he couldn’t help but want to scratch at it.

“Master, no matter what, you can’t scratch it.” Ning Shu immediately stopped Xuan Hongyu. “Master, endure it for a bit and it’ll go away. Even if it itches, don’t scratch at it, alright? The more you scratch, the itchier it’ll get.”

“Shut up. The more you talk, the itchier it gets!” roared Xuan Hongyu. Ning Shu immediately stopped talking.

Ning Shu went into the carriage to get a cloak and said to Xuan Hongyu, “Master, wind will make leprosy worse, so please put on this cloak.”

Xuan Hongyu laughed coldly. “You even prepared a cloak? Eleven, if you really don’t have anything to do with this, then this prince will just commit suicide.”

Ning Shu’s expression was filled with grievances as she cried, “Master, this subordinate really didn’t do anything! This subordinate only bought this cloak because you’re too good-looking. Wearing this cloak would be able to hide your magnificent looks slightly.”
