Chapter 24: Meeting Again (1)

“You… you…” The elder in a yellow robe was so angry that he shivered. He pointed at Qiu Nuo but couldn’t say anything for a long time.

“Hurry up and feed your Madam with this!” Qiu Nuo ignored him and said to that servant.

“Yes.”

The servant nodded and fed the soup in the bowl to the beautiful woman.

Not too long later, the beautiful woman woke up slowly.

Upon seeing this, the servant immediately jumped with joy. “Madam, you’re finally awake! You scared me to death!”

The beautiful woman held her forehead weakly and asked in confusion, “Xiao Lan, what happened to me?”

“Madam, don’t you remember? Just last night, you suddenly fainted. Doctor Wang and I thought that your old illness was acting up again. We fed you two Jiuxuan pills consecutively but to no avail…” Upon saying this, Xiao Lan looked at Qiu Nuo gratefully. “In the end, all thanks to this Miss, she knew that you had fainted from dehydration after looking at you just once. She got salt and sugar from me and mixed it with water for you to drink. Madam, you woke up only after that!”

“I see.” The beautiful woman looked at Qiu Nuo. “I really must thank this Miss, then. I haven’t been in good health all along. However, I usually have Jiuxuan Pills by my side, so I’m not very worried. I didn’t expect such an accident to happen. I don’t know what kind of illness this dehydration is. Can I be treated?”

“Madam, did you have a poor appetite recently and didn’t eat and drink as per normal?” Qiu Nuo asked.

“Miss, how did you know?” Xiao Lan widened her eyes in shock.

The beautiful woman was shocked as well. However, she nodded. “Indeed, I had a poor appetite for the past few days. Even if I eat something, I’ll vomit it out. As such, I only took some Topaz Pills.”

Topaz Pill was a commonly seen pill in the market. Taking it could supplement the body’s daily nutrition. It was very suitable for long-term outings or when one was in isolation. It was similar to the nutritional solution from her previous life.

“That’s correct, then.” Qiu Nuo smiled and said, “The air in Juyan Valley is dry and hot. After staying in such an environment for a long time, the body will become extremely dehydrated. As Madam’s stomach wasn’t feeling well and only used a few Topaz Pills to relieve her hunger, the body didn’t have enough water, thus causing a state of dehydration and her unconsciousness.”

“A load of nonsense! When my master was in isolation back then, he used to survive eating Topaz Pills for a month. It was hot summer then as well, and the temperature’s not any lower than now. However, when my master came out of isolation, he was still glowing with health.” Doctor Wang looked at her provocatively. “Not drinking water would cause one to lose their life? Are you coaxing a three-year-old kid?!”

“Your master must be a Warrior, right?” Qiu Nuo smiled plainly at him.

“So… so what if he is?” Doctor Wang’s eyes moved. He wasn’t sure what Qiu Nuo was up to.

“You don’t even understand this?” Qiu Nuo said with a sneer. “Your master’s a Warrior, and this Madam here is just an ordinary person. How can you use the same standards to measure two people with completely different physical qualities?”

Doctor Wang opened his mouth. However, before he could say anything, Qiu Nuo continued, “Besides, as a doctor, you’re so heavily reliant on those rigid pills. You don’t know how to use your brain and think about the patient’s situation. If something really happened to this Madam, can you still be so confident?”

Doctor Wang’s face turned red, and he immediately became speechless.

“Miss, don’t be surprised. Doctor Wang’s a straightforward person. He didn’t mean to argue with you.” The beautiful woman was still feeling weak. Her voice was gentle and weak as she tried to mediate between the two.

“It’s fine. I’m just not used to someone being so arrogant, almost causing Madam to lose your life,” Qiu Nuo said plainly.

No matter how high her medical skills were, she definitely wasn’t someone who saved anyone she saw.

On the contrary, in her previous life, she was famous for being cold-blooded and heartless.

Those who wanted her help would have to pay a heavy price. As such, she got the name of “Ghost Doctor.”

“Miss, are you entering the valley as well?” The beautiful woman suddenly asked.
