Chapter 395 - A Serious Problem

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Before this, Jiang Yuran was only friendly towards Xia Xibei because Qiao Yanjue liked her.

After learning about Xia Xibei’s background from Huo Zijun, Jiang Yuran was no longer impressed by her, nor did he think that her relationship with Qiao Yanjue would last very long.

However, it was Qiao Yanjue’s business.

As his best friend, he would lend him a hand whenever he needed him, but he wouldn’t get involved in his personal life, especially in matters of love.

But he would never have thought that Xia Xibei was a doctor!

The scariest part was that although she had never met Jiang Liran in her life, she could explain all his signs and symptoms so explicitly!

The moment he found out that his older brother was poisoned instead of sick, he became anxious right away.

If anything untoward happened to his older brother, it would be a massive blow to their family.

On top of that, he would have to bid farewell to his pleasant, carefree life.

No matter what, his older brother’s health and safety was the most important thing in the world.

“It doesn’t matter who I am. What matters is that these herbs won’t be of much help.” Xia Xibei was wearing a calm look as she added, “Besides, I can tell that the patient is in a rather critical condition by now, because the winter yam is involved.”

“Winter yam?” Huo Zijun caught the keyword. “This thing’s called winter yam?”

“Oh, it’s what I usually call it, but I’m not sure what its scientific name is,” Xia Xibei explained.

In the fantasy world, this herb was known as the winter yam. It was a rhizome that looked similar to ginseng but had entirely different medicinal effects.

“You said that it’s critical… How critical is it, exactly?”

Jiang Yuran was very anxious. He didn’t care if it was winter or autumn, he was only concerned with his older brother’s health.

“This kind of herbal wine can serve as an antidote to recover one’s body temperature. However, their bones will undergo changes later on, as if they have been corroded by acid. If one consumes a lot of this, they could trip and fall just once, never be able to stand again. ”

Their faces paled with shock upon hearing Xia Xibei’s words.

This was frightening!

“What if he doesn’t drink this then?”

“His condition will worsen even without drinking this. His body temperature will rise by a lot, and he’ll experience a high fever that simply won’t go away. And that will continue for a long period of time.”

The looks on their faces were awful.

A high fever that wouldn’t go away… How tormenting!

“Also, other problems will follow as it progresses.”

Jiang Yuran’s heart thumped wildly in his chest, and his face turned ashen, “We went to the hospital to get it checked before, but they didn’t find any problems with him.”

It was necessary to get regular blood tests and all, but they didn’t find anything abnormal with him!

“Of course you couldn’t find any problem,” Xia Xibei stated with raised brows. “This is a type of parasitic venom.”

“Parasitic venom?!”

Their eyes bulged with terror. This sounded extremely terrifying!

“The winter yam can treat the symptoms produced by this venom, but it doesn’t cure it at its roots. From what I can see, the one who recommended you use the winter yam… They don’t seem to have good intentions.”

Xia Xibei touched her chin, absorbed in thoughts.

Jiang Yuran’s face turned even paler, stuttering, “You- You’re not lying to me?”

“Why would I be lying to you?” Xia Xibei shot him a glance, “It’s not like I can benefit from it.”

“She’s right,” Qiao Yanjue vouched for Xia Xibei.

“Jiang, Xia is right, there’s definitely something wrong with this!” Huo Zijun spoke for Xia Xibei as well.

After all, he had witnessed Xia Xibei’s greatness with his very own eyes.

Jiang Yuran felt his body go weak and he was at a loss for words.

He didn’t expect to learn such a shocking truth today.

“What… What should we do about it then?” He could no longer think straight at that moment.

“Xia, do you know how to cure it?” Huo Zijun asked.

“Of course I do,” Xia Xibei smiled with confidence.
