Chapter 38 The Demonic Woman is Drugging Him
Lin Er: "I'm fine, I'm just feeling a little unwell, I'll be fine after a rest."
Despite saying that, he was frowning and breathing heavily, and he really hadn't thought he would get sick.
In retrospect, Flora had fainted from hypothermia. He was in better condition and thought he was fine, but it turned out he wasn't much better off than Flora.
The situation might have been different if he had gotten enough rest, but in that situation, he wouldn't have been able to rest.
Although she eventually fell into a deep sleep, it shows that her body couldn't take it anymore.
Flora, feeling worried and somewhat guilty, said, "I noticed you didn't look well yesterday; I should have made sure you paid more attention to it."
Lin Er waved his hand and said, "This is none of your business, please don't worry about it."
Flora sighed and said, "It's windy outside, why don't you come in first?"
Lin Er responded and was about to go inside.
Perhaps because he was chatting with Flora, he relaxed a lot, and his body suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable, swaying and about to fall forward.
If he had fallen in front of the door, he could have easily gotten hurt, but he no longer had the strength to stand up.
At that moment, Flora reacted quickly, grabbing Lin Er and supporting him, preventing things from getting any worse.
Flora said helplessly, "You shouldn't try to be brave in this state."
Lin Er's consciousness was somewhat scattered. Perhaps running from the tavern to here had already exhausted most of his energy. At this moment, he had no strength to refute anything and could only let Flora help him into the house.
He didn't stay at Flora's house for long yesterday, only looking at the layout of the first floor: a living room, a bedroom, and a small room, probably a storage room.
Flora helped Lin Er walk towards the bedroom, which was furnished with simple furniture and the bed was neatly made.
Lin Er looked weak and his mind was somewhat hazy. He subconsciously asked, "Is this your room?"
Flora said, "I live in the attic. You're not expecting this to be my boudoir, are you?"
Lin Er said, "That's a real pity."
Flora realized that Lin Er was joking, so she stopped teasing him, helped him lie down on the bed, and covered him with a blanket.
After Flora finished doing all that, she touched his forehead again and exclaimed, "It's so hot!"
She had a pretty good idea of Lin Er's condition, and then instructed, "Take off your cotton armor and rest well. I'll go prepare your medicine."
Lin Er responded weakly to Flora and watched her leave. After the bedroom door closed, it became completely quiet.
He changed out of his cotton armor, lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling for a while. His eyelids felt increasingly heavy due to the pain.
For some reason, Lin Er felt that Flora was trustworthy, and his heart gradually calmed down. Under the dual pressure of physical and mental stress, he became increasingly sleepy.
A long time passed.
Lin Er faintly heard Flora calling out, her voice very soft.
Flora: "Lin'er, are you still alive?"
Linton was overwhelmed with indescribable emotions and slowly opened his eyes. Flora's beautiful face appeared before him.
Flora moved closer, her face almost touching Lin Er's, and placed her hand under his nose, as if checking his breath.
She quickly withdrew her hand after seeing Lin Er wake up.
Lin Er said weakly, "I'm still alive, I'm not dead."
Flora breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. I've already brewed the herbal medicine for you. Drink it quickly."
After saying that, she brought a bowl of steaming hot herbs to him.
Lin Er got out of bed and looked at the herbs Flora had brought. The herbal soup was greenish-blue and slightly thick, and it was impossible to tell what herbs were used.
[You are seriously ill, and the sorceress brings you a medicinal soup. You keenly notice that an unknown drug has been added to the soup; it is not poisonous, but it has unknown effects.]
The sorceress secretly drugged me, but the drug wasn't poisonous.
What kind of medicine is this? It's so hard to guess.
Lin Er's mind was somewhat scattered due to his serious illness, and he was momentarily stunned.
Flora asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this medicine?"
Lin Er came to his senses and realized that Flora had no reason to harm him at this moment. If she wanted to harm him, the best opportunity would be in the Misty Forest.
The system must have gone mad again.
He chooses to believe selectively.
Lin Er took the medicine and drank a sip.
The medicinal soup didn't taste bitter as I had imagined; instead, it had a floral fragrance.
He quickly finished the medicine, returned the bowl to Flora, and lay down on the bed to continue sleeping.
At this moment, Flora prepared a wet towel for him, and after applying it to his forehead, he immediately felt much better.
Lin Er closed his eyes and finally fell into a deep sleep.
I don't know how long I slept.
Lin Er regained consciousness and slowly opened his eyes, only to find that the towel on his head was gone.
That's not the main point. My headache is gone now, my throat has returned to normal, and my overall health has improved a lot.
Lin Er couldn't help but say, "The Demonic Witch's medicine is really effective; we should use it more often in the future. No, I spit on that."
He slipped his tongue and said something he shouldn't have.
But this should be fine. The demoness would not drug him unless she was in a bad mood.
Just then, the bedroom door opened, and Flora walked in. She first checked Lin Er's complexion and, seeing that it had improved, felt relieved.
Flora asked, "What were you muttering to yourself just now?"
Lin Er replied evasively, "It's nothing. I just praised your medicine for being very effective. Thank you for taking care of me; otherwise, I wouldn't have recovered so quickly."
Flora said seriously, "Don't be so happy yet. Your health has just improved, so it's best to rest for a few more days, otherwise it might relapse."
Lin Er nodded, not daring to act on his own at this moment, and decided to listen to the elven doctor's advice.
Lin Er then asked, "By the way, how long did I sleep?"
Flora replied, "It's already evening."
Lin Er was slightly surprised, not expecting that he had slept for so long.
Fortunately, Flora was by his side. If he were alone, he would feel unsafe after being unconscious for so long.
Flora asked, "You must be hungry by now. I've already cooked some porridge. Stay in bed and don't move. I'll go get it."
Lin Er hadn't eaten much since yesterday, and only after being reminded did she realize that she was starving and her stomach was growling loudly.
He was a little embarrassed, so he could only respond to Flora and didn't stand on ceremony anymore.
After a while, Flora brought over some thin porridge.
Lin Er glanced at it; the bowl contained glistening grains of rice, with clear broth on top, and floating flower petals and herbs.
He stared blankly.
Flora asked, "What's wrong? I remember the porridge shouldn't be too hot, right? Do you want me to feed you?"
Lin Er quickly shook his head: "No, I was thinking that it's really lucky to have Miss Flora as a companion."
Flora's expression softened slightly. She blinked and said, "Hmm, didn't you take care of me before?"
Lin Er sighed and turned his attention back to the thin porridge.
He took a bite, and the taste was very refreshing with a hint of sweetness. It was much better than the "food" in the tavern.
Although you can buy good food at pubs if you're willing to spend money, the taste is generally rather murky.
Now that he's cultivating immortality, he prefers light food, but he just doesn't have a choice.
Flora asked, "This is forest quinoa I brought from my hometown. How does it taste?"
As Lin Er ate, he replied, "It's delicious! This is the most delicious food I've ever eaten in this world."
Flora heard Lin Er's praise and noticed that he was sincere and not just flattering her, so she couldn't help but smile.
Lin Er had never seen this smile on her face before; it carried a rare liveliness and sincerity.
Flora quickly regained her composure, as if nothing had happened, and continued:
"It's getting late. Why don't you stay at my place to rest for a while? That way, it'll be easier to take care of the Dragon Blood Ginseng. What do you think?"
