Fox Demon: All the people you want to date have special skills

Chapter 38 Dongfang Guyue is critically ill
It is the seventh day of the new month again, and the Huai River is still sparkling. However, at this moment, the only lonely figure left on the riverbank is Dongfang Huaizhu.

"Will you return as promised today?"

Dongfang Huaizhu sat quietly in the bamboo pavilion, his eyes as clear as autumn water, gazing into the distant sky, looking forward to that familiar figure.

However, until the sun slowly set in the west and the sky was dyed golden, she still could not wait for that man to return.

"Sir, where are you now? Did you complete the mission smoothly?"

Dongfang Huaizhu sighed softly, withdrew his gaze from the distance, and a trace of worry and loss flashed in his eyes.

She gently picked up the wine glass that had been prepared in front of her, slowly poured the wine into her throat, and let the spicy taste bloom on the tip of her tongue.

After one glass, Dongfang Huaizhu frowned slightly, but she did not stop and filled her glass again.

At this moment, she seemed to understand why those heroes in the world always preferred this drink.

Under the influence of alcohol, all worries seem to be temporarily forgotten.

After a few drinks, Dongfang Huaizhu's cheeks flushed slightly, making her look even more charming.

"Sir, you once asked me if I could accept everything behind your mask. Now, I have the answer."

"No matter what kind of difficulties you will face, no matter who you are, I am willing to face it with you. Because you are the first person who has walked into my heart in all these years."

When she was slightly tipsy, Dongfang Huaizhu seemed to see the figure in black robe and mask again. She couldn't help but pour out her heart to that phantom.

However, when she wanted to get closer and snuggle in that person's arms, the illusion disappeared like a dream bubble.

Dongfang Huaizhu had tears in her eyes and she staggered, as if a gust of wind would blow her down.

"You said that you would come to the Dongfang family to propose marriage in a year at most. But now, a year has passed, why haven't I seen you yet?"

"Could it be that everything you said before was just empty talk?"

She couldn't find the answer, nor could she find someone to rely on. So she sat back at the table again, raised her head, and drank the wine in the glass.

Drinking to forget sorrow only makes you more sorrowful, it's nothing more than this.

It's no wonder that Dongfang Huaizhu lost her composure at this moment. Ever since her father Dongfang Guyue's condition became increasingly serious, the burden of Shenhuoshan Villa almost entirely fell on her shoulders.

On weekdays, she still maintains that tenacity and calmness, but whenever her thoughts touch Dongfang Tianyu, the deep-hidden emotions surge out like a flood.

She used to think that she was used to being on her own, but it was not until this moment that she realized that she just couldn't find someone to talk to.

"Miss, this is bad!"

Just as Dongfang Huaizhu was immersed in his own thoughts, a maid came running from a distance, with obvious panic in her voice.

"What happened?"

Dongfang Huaizhu's expression changed and he flashed in front of the maid.

This maid is her personal servant. She must have something important to report by coming here.

"Master...Master's condition has suddenly worsened and he is now unconscious."

The maid's voice was anxious and flustered.

Instantly, a strong pure Yang flame burst out from Dongfang Huaizhu's body, completely dispelling the alcohol in her body. The next moment, she moved and turned into a stream of light, rushing towards the direction of Shenhuoshan Villa.

After returning to Shenhuoshan Villa, Dongfang Huaizhu went to Dongfang Guyue's room first.

"what happened?"

"Dad was fine this morning, why is he suddenly unconscious now?"

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Dongfang Qinlan anxiously guarding Dongfang Guyue's bed, angrily questioning the medicine boy and maid beside her. However, they all shook their heads to indicate that they didn't know, lowered their eyebrows and looked submissive, not daring to look directly at Dongfang Qinlan's anger.

Dongfang Qinlan became even more angry when she saw this. Just as she was about to continue to rage, she was stopped by Dongfang Huaizhu who came rushing over.

"Okay little sister, let me take a look."

When Dongfang Qinlan saw that it was her sister who came, she stopped crying. She wiped her tears with her hands and moved away consciously.

At this moment, Dongfang Gu Yue had his eyes closed, his face was an abnormal purple color, and his whole body was covered in cold sweat. It was obvious that his condition was very serious.

Dongfang Huaizhu did not delay at all. He quickly sat down at the head of the bed, put his hand on his father's pulse, and made a careful diagnosis.

In order to take care of her father, she has been learning medical skills in the past few years. With the help of the Eye of the Spirit World, she found out Dongfang Gu Yue's problem in no time.

"Who is responsible for tonight's medicine?"

Dongfang Huaizhu's face was solemn. His eyes swept over the medicine boys and maids present, and his voice revealed unquestionable majesty.

"Yes...it's Xiao Lu."

Under Dongfang Huaizhu's questioning, a medicine boy finally couldn't bear the pressure and answered with a trembling voice.

"Where are they now?"

Dongfang Huaizhu's eyes immediately locked onto the medicine boy.

"I...I'll go find him right now!"

The medicine boy was frightened by Dongfang Huaizhu's aura and trembled all over. He turned around in a hurry and almost ran out of the room.

Afterwards, Dongfang Huaizhu decisively dismissed all the medicine boys and maids. The whole room suddenly became quiet, with only the father and his daughter left.

"Sister, is there something wrong with the medicine?"

Seeing this, Dongfang Qinlan knew that her sister had something to say to her, so she stepped forward and asked.

Dongfang Huaizhu sighed and said slowly: "There is nothing wrong with the medicine itself. It is even a good tonic. However, the problem is that father's body is too weak and can no longer withstand such a strong effect of the medicine."

She tried to describe Dongfang Gu Yue's physical condition in concise words so that her sister could understand its seriousness.

"Is there anyone who wants to harm my father?"

Although Dongfang Qinlan was simple-minded, she was not completely alert. She immediately thought of a possible conspiracy.

Dongfang Huaizhu did not answer directly, but quickly cut Dongfang Guyue's middle finger. In an instant, a thick, almost purple blood gushed out from the fingertip, which was very different from normal human blood.

It was not until ten breaths later that Dongfang Guyue's blood gradually returned to normal. Dongfang Huaizhu stopped the bleeding for Dongfang Guyue in time, temporarily alleviating his symptoms caused by the over-effectiveness of the drug.

Despite this, Dongfang Gu Yue remained in a coma and did not wake up.

At this moment, the medicine boy named Xiao Lu rushed over, his face full of nervousness and anxiety: "Miss, you are looking for me?"

"Xiao Lu, is there any difference in the medicine you gave me today?"

Dongfang Huaizhu didn't waste any words and asked directly.

"This... I... I did add an extra herb to it."

When Xiao Lu answered, his body trembled involuntarily, as if he was under tremendous pressure.

Hearing this answer, Dongfang Huaizhu's eyes instantly became as sharp as a knife, and a hint of murderous intent flashed across her eyes.

"What is that medicinal ingredient? Who allowed you to change the master's prescription without permission?"
