Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 717 - 716: Replacing Bones and Marrow

The vast Floral Hall witnessed a chase scene that left Young Master Duan and Lady Li, the couple, dumbfounded as they watched the two figures. They could hardly believe their own eyes.

That was the Ghost Doctor!

And yet the girl was grabbing and teasing him as if she were playing with a naughty child.

This scene...

"Am I not good enough to treat you?" Bai Xiaobai gritted his teeth and glared at Wufu.

Had he known this would happen, he would not have come back. He had thought so highly of her, and how gravely mistaken he was.

Indeed, how could a girl who could kill a hunter so calmly without changing her face be anything but scandalous?

Now that he was back, the reminders from Xiao Li and the others suggested that this girl might be the one the master of the house had taken a fancy to, alerting him to be cautious.

What in the world did the master see in this girl? She’s not gentle at all!

"If only you were this obedient all the time!" Wufu huffed, seeing his aggrieved face, and said, "Don’t worry, I won’t ask you to treat me for nothing. You name it, what’s your price?"

"Dare I ask for a reward?" Bai Xiaobai looked aggrieved.

Wufu then said, "Didn’t you used to fancy tiger’s whips? Shall I find you two big insects and get you a couple of strips for your use?"

At these words, everyone in the Floral Hall twitched the corners of their mouths.

Miss, you’re still a young girl, is it really okay for you to speak so casually about tiger’s whips?

Young Master Duan and Lady Li exchanged glances and then bowed their heads in unison, fighting hard to repress their laughter.

Bai Xiaobai jumped up: "Don’t you talk nonsense, I’m very healthy, I do not need tiger’s whips!"

Wufu just giggled and glanced below his waist.

Bai Xiaobai’s face flushed in an instant, pointing at her: "You! Hoodlum!"

He had to have a serious word with the Prince, this woman in front of him was absolutely unfit to carry the position of a Princess Consort, far from virtuous!

Young Master Duan coughed and said, "White Ghost Doctor, if it’s difficult for you, it’s okay not to treat this body of mine."

"Young Master Duan!" Lady Li called in disagreement.

Bai Xiaobai frowned and said, "The Fire-Cold Poison can be cured, but the process of treatment is extremely painful. I’m afraid you won’t be able to withstand it!"

Duan Rong responded calmly, "No pain can be greater than what I’m suffering now!"

"That’s true, you are rather enduring, but I’m sorry to say, the process is going to be ten times more painful than you are currently experiencing!" Bai Xiaobai said sympathetically.

"How is the treatment to be carried out?" Wufu asked, "Do we need any precious medicinal materials?"

"Of course, we do." Bai Xiaobai snorted. "The Fire-Cold Poison has deeply accumulated in his body. I will need to use Golden Needles for acupuncture, along with a medicinal bath, to drive out the poison. This process is like extracting the bones and changing the marrow, something most people cannot endure. If he can endure it and then take my Detoxification Pill, he should recover!"

"He can, he’ll definitely endure it!" said Lady Li animatedly, nodding her head.

Bai Xiaobai gave her a glance and coolly said, "Don’t take it too lightly. This bones extraction and marrow change requires seven consecutive days of acupuncture. That is, he has to suffer this torment seven times. If one gives up halfway, the balance of yin and yang will be disrupted, beyond saving even by gods. And if he continues to put off treatment, it’s uncertain how many years he still has."

Upon hearing this, the color drained from Lady Li’s face.

Could it really be so terrifying?

"Young Master Duan!" she looked at him with eyes full of fear.

Duan Rong comforted her, "Shall we not go through with the treatment? After all, I can still live."

Lady Li’s eyes moistened. She had seen with her own eyes every single night he was in so much pain that he couldn’t sleep, unable to do anything but cry secretly and helplessly.

How could she bear to watch him suffer like that day and night?

"No, we’ll go through with the treatment. Young Master Duan, I’ll be with you," said Lady Li, biting down on her teeth, "We never had the chance before, but now that we do, we’ve survived so much hardship in the past, we’ll definitely overcome this hurdle as well."
