My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant

Chapter 256: Heart Disease

Chapter 256: Heart Disease

Lou Mu Yan turned around and saw the red-clothed man spitting out a mouthful of blood. He closed his eyes, and when be opened then again, the emotions in his eyes were curbed.

He was pale and in a bit of pain, then took out a silk handkerchief and wiped the blood on his lips. Then he looked up at Lou Mu Yan and managed a smile: Thank you Miss Lou for today!

Lou Mu Yan raised an eyebrow: You know me?

Who does not know Young Miss Lou and Chu Hans name now? The dark horses that advanced into the top five will naturally attract special attention.

Yan Jun didnt expect that his sorry state would be seen by this woman, but seeing that she had saved him, the killing intent in his heart was gradually suppressed.

Whats your name? Lou Mu Yan felt that this mans aura was a little familiar, so she should have encountered him before, but she didnt have much of an impression.

Yan Jun sat up laboriously, coughed sharply for a bit, then said slowly: Yan Jun.

So it turns out that youre Yan Jun who ranked second in the preliminary round. A cunning light flashed past Lou Mu Yans eyes.

Yan Jun came from the Yan Clan of a superpower kingdom, one of the top Smithing Clans on Tianling Continent. His position was nobler than that of a prince of an Empire, and he was unfathomable himself.

This was information she obtained from Si Nan and Luo Li when they mentioned Yan Jun.

Please do excuse me! Yan Juns pale face was covered in blue and purple and his breathing was a little short.

He hurriedly took out a pill and swallowed it, and only then did his breathing gradually stabilise.

Your pill for treating your heart disease cures the symptoms but not the root cause. Lou Mu Yan looked at Yan Jun with deep eyes.

Yan Jun raised his head sharply to look at Lou Mu Yan and asked weakly: Youre a Physician?

In a way. Lou Mu Yan nodded. There were Physicians and Alchemists on this Continent. Physicians mainly focused on curing diseases, but they couldnt refine pills; Alchemists mainly focused on refining pills, but werent as good at saving people, so the two complemented each other.

Physicians were also divided into grades. There were many low-grade Physicians on this Continent, and basically every Clan had a Physician, but there were very few Physicians Grade 3 and above. They were the targets of many major forces to compete for and win over.

After all, Sword Masters would also have hidden illnesses, and they could also encounter poisoning and sudden sickness, so they needed Physicians to treat them.

Of course, there were also people who were both Alchemists and Physicians, but they were even rarer, such as herself.

After Yan Jun took the pill, the blue-purple colour on his face gradually faded, and after a while, he looked at her and said: Did you know that I have a heart disease because you took my pulse?

The fact that he had a heart disease was not a big secret among the superiors of the Clan. After all, his father, as the Patriarch, often invited high-grade Physicians home to treat him, but Lou Mu Yan, who came from a small Kingdom, couldnt possibly know these secrets.

This woman always gave a sense of mystery. Maybe she really was a Physician.

Of course. Your heart disease is from birth and caused by your mother taking some kind of medicinal product when she was pregnant. Lou Mu Yans face revealed a rare seriousness.

Yan Jun revealed surprise, pressed his lips together and said: I didnt expect Miss Lous medical skills to be so brilliant.

Miss, can you heal our Young Lord? Suddenly, an ordinary-looking man behind Yan Jun asked eagerly.

Yan Jun never thought that Lou Mu Yan could cure his chronic illness. After all, even Grade 4 Physicians were helpless, so how could she, a teenage girl, cure him.

But hearing his teammates question, he couldnt help but feel hope in his hearteven if it was very small, he didnt want to give up.

Lou Mu Yan considered the advantages and disadvantages of treating Yan Jun, and she found that it wasnt bad to let this man with a deep background owe her a big favour.

Before she left, Yanzhou Kingdom just gave her a feeling that a storm was about to arrive. If she recruited a few more talented elites from superpower kingdoms who were highly valued, it would definitely be beneficial for the safety of the Lou Clan.

Actually, its not difficult to cure your heart disease. Lou Mu Yan said truthfully.

Luo Yes blindness needed to be cured by finding several very rare Spiritual Herbs to create eye drops, paired with golden needles. Meanwhile, Yan Juns heart disease could be cured by just using the repairing green mist in her dantian paired with golden needles. It wouldnt take too long either.

Yan Juns heart disease was carried from his mothers womb, and the main reason was actually due to the use of a medicinal product that caused his heart to be unable to withstand the baptism of Elemental Energy.

If he were a normal person or a low-level Sword Master, it wouldnt trigger a severe heart disease, but as long as he cultivated above Sword King, his hearts defects would be exposed.

The higher the cultivation base, the greater the chance of him getting sick. If he couldnt control it and repair his heart, then when he reached Sword Venerable cultivation base, he might even lose his life.

Yan Jun didnt believe her words inwardly, but he didnt reveal it in his expressions. He narrowed his seductive peach blossom-shaped eyes and asked with a smile: Young Miss Lou, can you tell me my symptoms?

No one else knew about his symptoms when his illness breaks out, and he never told others either. He sure wanted to see if she really was capable or not.

When your cultivation base had yet to reach Sword King, the disease would occur at most once a year. Each time, you would feel your heart beat fast and some pain. When your cultivation base reached Sword King, the frequency of the attacks would increase to once every three months, and the pain also turned into a sharp pain.

Lou Mu Yan looked at him with a smile yet not quite a smile and continued: As your cultivation bade continues to grow, the number of times the illness has acted up has also increased. Judging from your current appearance, your illness should act up once or twice every month, especially in two or three days after a battle, youre bound to experience a pain thats worse than death.

Seeing Yan Juns beautiful eyes and pupils constrict, she added: Every time your disease acts up, you have difficulty breathing, your whole body will be weak, your Elemental Energy cant operate in your body, and your face will gradually turn blue and purple. If you dont take the pill to control your illness, you will go into brief shock.

Most importantly, you will actually be relieved of your pain, but it will take a few days to recover to your usual after each onset. Lou Mu Yan raised an eyebrow: I wonder if what I said is accurate?

Yan Juns expression didnt change, his eyes were calm, but his tightly clasped hands beneath his sleeves revealed his unsettled heart.

Young Miss Lou is completely right. It would be a lie to say he wasnt shocked. Even the Grade 4 Physician who treated him couldnt describe his symptoms so accurately. At this time, he couldnt help but believe that she really knew what she was doing.

Why do you fight so hard? Dont you know that the higher your cultivation base, the more serious your heart disease will be. When you reach Sword Venerable, maybe it might even be the end of your time. Lou Mu Yan said bluntly.

Yan Jun revealed a wry, bitter smile, There are some things where I cant choose what I want.

Lou Mu Yan didnt ask much. She knew the battles in large clans were very complicated, and even pulling one hair would move the entire body¹. Yan Jun knew the danger but still continued to cultivate desperatelyhe naturally had his own reasons.

True. In addition to the resources and status given by ones identity and background, there was also responsibility, and freedom to give up. Lou Mu Yan nodded in understanding.

Yan Juns eyes revealed a bit of strangeness. He obviously didnt expect Lou Mu Yan to say such profound words.

After all, judging from the information he obtained, her Lou Clan was only a small Clan, and the Lou Family loved her very much since she was a child. She shouldnt understand the intrigue of those large Clans.

Then what Young Miss Lou means is that you can cure my heart disease? This was what he cared most about. 

¹meaning that doing something minor might cause a huge ripple effect of sorts.
