Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 241 – Medicinal Bath

"Sorry about this, Traveling Doctor Liu." Old Master Nan felt utterly helpless when he saw the brats who were being noisy on the backyard. He thought that they would quieten down without Feng Ao Si. But because Feng Ao Kuai began to dote on Nan Hua… the brat kept on competing with Nan Luo.

It turned into a mess.

Traveling Doctor Liu laughed. "It's fine. It's nice to see the children so lively."

"Mhm."

Nan Hua managed to eat the two bowls of noodle and felt really full. She really needed to warn the kitchen next time so that they would not take order from Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai separately. She didn't want to eat two feasts at once in the future.

After she was done eating, Traveling Doctor Liu came to her quarter.

"I'll be brief." Traveling Doctor Liu knew the rules. Males were not allowed to enter the female quarter except their husbands. Even family members didn't usually enter except during some special times.

After all, female valued their reputation greatly.

Nan Hua blinked her eyes. "Master is a doctor, so it's fine."

"That's true." Traveling Doctor Liu laughed when he heard Nan Hua's words. Doctors were not really restricted since there were cases when females were sick. The number of female doctors were exceptionally few because of female's low position in this land.

"Miss."

"Xiao Yun, I'll be staying in the bathroom for medicinal bath. Make sure no one come close and don't disturb me."

"Yes, Miss."

Traveling Doctor Liu took out the pouch he had prepared when he entered the bathroom while Nan Hua prepared the water. He arranged the herbs properly on the table while motioning for Nan Hua to bring the tub over.

"Master." Nan Hua looked at the herbs and her eyes flashed. "Is it fine for me to use these, Master?"

"All of my disciples will be given this medicinal bath." Traveling Doctor Liu laughed. "This will strengthen your veins and bones, allowing you to be healthier. Hmm, you'll also immune to some common poison too. However, a large dose is still dangerous."

Nan Hua nodded.

The herbs that her Master prepared were all precious herbs that was hard to gather in the entire land. There were some that came from dangerous and scarce place, making it even more precious. Just the fact that Traveling Doctor Liu was willing to let his disciple used it had already shown that he cared for his disciples a lot.

But because his disciples all came from different background… it was impossible for them all to stay harmonious.

Nan Hua took off her outer robe and entered the bathtub while Traveling Doctor Liu put the herbs inside. He calculated the amount and time properly.

At first, Nan Hua didn't feel anything.

But soon, pain began to emerge from all over her body. From faint to intense. The pain enveloped her entire body, seeping deep into her bones. Nan Hua's face was pale but there was not even any sound.

"You can scream if you want."

Nan Hua looked at her Master but she still stayed silent.

Traveling Doctor Liu could see the stubbornness within Nan Hua's eyes and sighed. Whenever he talked with Nan Hua, he didn't feel like he was talking with a child that was barely 10 years old but rather an adult who knew what she wanted, what she had to do, and how she should achieve it very clearly.

Nan Hua didn't say anything and stayed within the bath, enduring the pain that seemed to threaten to kill her.

The searing pain seemed to be piercing her bones, breaking her apart. However, Nan Hua kept her gaze calm as she waited for the medicine to transform her body. It hurt, she knew, so she stayed silent.

Time ticked.

The color of the water changed to black as Nan Hua looked at her hand. The pain had decreased and there was only some tingling sensation. All along, she didn't say anything and simply stayed on the bath.

This pain was not unbearable for her.

It was still within the scope that she could endure.

"Do you still feel pain?" Traveling Doctor Liu asked when he saw Nan Hua's complexion turned better.

Nan Hua nodded. "A bit."

"Wait a bit more before washing up. I'm outside if you need anything."

"Yes, Master."

After the pain had completely disappeared, Nan Hua took a bath and cleaned up. As she looked at her appearance on the water, Nan Hua was taken aback. Her skin was already fair from the beginning, but after that session, she could see that it had turned even better. Her countenance exuded some kind of aura that made one felt she was pleasing to look at.

'…How am I stay low if I have this kind of appearance?'

Nan Hua began to feel that the description of original Nan Hua worked against her. While it was not completely obvious yet, she knew that Nan Hua was still a peerless beauty and many people mocked Long Qian Xing when he chose to abandon her because of her beauty in the story.

In the entire Fei Yang Kingdom, even those acclaimed as the most beautiful women couldn't be compared to her.

And it was precisely because of her beauty that many people coveted her. After the engagement was broken, a lot of people came to Nan Family Residence to court her. Unfortunately, the original Nan Hua only had eyes on Long Qian Xing and tried to pester him.

It eventually led her to her death.

"Miss?" Xiao Yun called out.

"I'll sleep now," Nan Hua came out and said softly.

Upon seeing Nan Hua, Xiao Yun blinked her eyes a few times. She always thought that Nan Hua was beautiful but upon seeing her appearance just now, she felt that Nan Hua had turned into a peerless beauty that couldn't be compared to anyone.

Nan Hua entered her room and looked at her table where she put Long Qian Xing's present to her. Looking at the content inside carefully, she noticed that he had engraved some words at the hairpin.

Nan Hua.

It was her name.

Nan Hua's eyes flickered slightly.. She put it away and turned to her bed.
