Master Mao would not arrive until the next morning, and the few of them did not comprehend metaphysics. So, if there was anyone else here who could help the Third Young Master, it could only be Chen Yu, a Celestial Master.

He Qi thought for a moment and then decided to explain the matter to Chen Yu,  “The evil spirit in the Young Master’s body changes with the alternation of spring, summer, autumn and winter seasons. In summer and autumn, the evil spirit will be relatively stable. In spring, the evil spirit is the most active, and in winter, the evil spirit is the weakest.”

Chen Yu was stunned by what she heard. Because Lou Ming was always with his jade clasp, Chen Yu failed to detect that the evil spirit in his body had changed after winter arrived.

“The evil spirit in the Young Master’s body will begin to lie dormant at the winter solstice.”

“Dormant?” A possibility flashed through Chen Yu’s mind.

“Yes,” He Qi continued to explain, “We can’t find the cause. We only know that around the winter solstice, as soon as Young Master steps into a place with lower temperature, the evil spirit in his body will start to hibernate. Everything develops into this after it hibernates; Young Master will have no breathing, no heartbeat, no body temperature, and no consciousness, and will sleep until the beginning of spring.”

“No wonder. I always feel that the warm air here is distinctly hot.” Chen Yu said in hindsight, “So…is this kind of dormancy harmful to Third Brother’s body?”

“It is.” If there was no harm and was merely sleeping, the assistants wouldn’t be so worried. “Young Master’s body temperature drops sharply when he hibernates and slowly revives after the beginning of spring, a condition that can be very damaging to the body. The last time Young Master woke up from an accidental hibernation, he recuperated for a whole month before he barely recovered. The doctor also said…”

“What else did he say?” Chen Yu urged.

“If this happens frequently, his internal organs are at risk of being overwhelmed,” He Qi frowned and said.

As He Qi’s words fell, the remaining six assistants all blamed themselves.

“It’s all because we didn’t protect Third Young Master.”

“Everyone professes to be the King of Soldiers, but can’t even do this job right.”

“…”

Chen Yu felt that every self-reproach from the assistants was directed at her. It was because of her that Lou Ming went out.

So what could she do? What could she do to help her Third Brother? Chen Yu tried hard to rack her brains.

Evil spirit, evil spirit dormancy?

Chen Yu’s eyes suddenly lit up, and she asked anxiously, “The dormancy is because the evil spirit will sink completely into silence. At the beginning of spring, the evil spirit begins to recover, so Third Brother wakes up, right?”

“Yes,” He Qi nodded.

“I have an idea!” After Chen Yu finished speaking, she turned around and walked quickly to the bed. She casually kicked off her shoes with both feet, and then directly climbed on Lou Ming’s bed.

“What are you doing?” The assistants looked puzzled.

“I’m trying to see if I can manage to resuscitate Third Brother up,” Chen Yu answered.

“How are you going to even try?” He Qi asked reflexively.

Chen Yu lay on top of Lou Ming through the blanket, leaving the assistants with a “Don’t disturb me” command.

The next moment, she bowed and kissed Lou Ming’s lips.

“Hiss!” The assistants caught their breaths.

“You…” When Cheng Peng saw that Chen Yu dared to molest his Third Young Master, he was so angry that he charged forward, intending to pull her away.

Tian Fei nimbly stopped Cheng Peng and whispered, “You forgot – the research room!”
