In Another World, Everyone Want to Kill Me!-Chapter 197: Extraordinary Measures

He suddenly opened his eyes wide and discovered that his entire body was submerged in water.

His limbs felt limp and powerless; aside from pain, there was no other sensation, as if he had completely lost control over his body.

"Prince Shang, you’re awake?" An inner attendant stepped forward nervously.

Miracle Doctor Gongsun was still on his way back, yet Prince Shang had already awakened ahead of time.

Shang Qinghua could not even manage to nod. He could only ask, "Where is Gongsun Xing?"

He remembered that the last person he saw before losing consciousness was Yue Mingxuan, and Yue Mingxuan’s acupuncture skills were absolutely not at a level where they could render a living person unconscious.

Moreover, he did not believe Yue Mingxuan would have the nerve to strip him naked and throw him into a pot.

The inner attendant froze for a moment before replying, "Miracle Doctor Gongsun will be back shortly."

Shang Qinghua said nothing further. He merely closed his eyes and leaned to the side.

Since the principal person had not yet arrived, it was better to rest properly than to waste words on an attendant.

When Yue Mingxuan entered together with Gongsun Xing, the first thing that met his eyes was an enormous iron cauldron.

He stared at Gongsun Xing in shock.

Such a huge iron pot was this meant to boil a person?

Seeing Yue Mingxuan’s astonished expression, Gongsun Xing smiled slightly. "What, are you surprised?"

"Well... a bit..." Yue Mingxuan gave an embarrassed smile.

In all his life, this was the first time he had seen an illness treated by boiling.

Gongsun Xing walked over to the cauldron and casually knocked on its rim. Seeing that Shang Qinghua showed no reaction, he said to Yue Mingxuan, "The cold poison has penetrated his body, and he also used golden needles to seal his acupoints and stimulate his latent potential. Extraordinary circumstances require extraordinary methods... In any case, he has already opened his own acupoints with golden needles. Boiling him won’t do any harm, on the contrary, it will force the cold poison out of his body."

"But the temperature..." Yue Mingxuan still hesitated.

"Why don’t you come and see for yourself?" Gongsun Xing’s voice carried a hint of coaxing.

Hearing that Gongsun Xing was about to let Yue Mingxuan come over, Shang Qinghua was startled and hurriedly spoke up, "Don’t come over."

His sudden voice startled both Yue Mingxuan and Gongsun Xing.

Yue Mingxuan stepped closer by two paces and asked, "Shang Qinghua, are you feeling any better?"

Shang Qinghua shot Gongsun Xing a glare and said, "I’m doing just fine. You don’t need to come over."

Hearing the weakness in Shang Qinghua’s voice, Yue Mingxuan still stepped forward two more paces.

However, when Shang Qinghua’s giant dragon inside the pot came fully into his view, he immediately covered his eyes and cried out in shock while retreating several steps in succession.

"Gongsun Xing, why didn’t you tell me he wasn’t wearing any clothes?"

Gongsun Xing spread his hands innocently. "You didn’t ask."

Yue Mingxuan was both angry and flustered, yet he could not find a single word to refute him.

He really hadn’t asked, but at the very least, there should have been some undergarments.

Just now, Shang Qinghua hadn’t even been wearing an inner clothes...

Seeing Yue Mingxuan’s awkward expression, Gongsun Xing secretly laughed to himself, yet kept a straight face as he said solemnly, "Yue Mingxuan, I won’t tell anyone about what just happened."

Yue Mingxuan shot Gongsun Xing a look of pure exasperation.

He was clearly the one who had orchestrated the whole thing, wasn’t he?

And now he was pretending to be some upright gentleman what a shameless act.

Having successfully teased Yue Mingxuan, Gongsun Xing was in an excellent mood. He smiled and said, "Alright, alright, I was just teasing you. You should know that in a physician’s eyes, there is no distinction between men and women among patients."

Although he felt somewhat frustrated at being teased, Yue Mingxuan had to admit that Gongsun Xing’s words did make some sense.

The irritation in his heart eased a little.

Shang Qinghua, who had just been thoroughly seen, was not as easily placated as Yue Mingxuan.

This nonsense about doctor seeing no difference between gender was something that could only fool Yue Mingxuan.

It was obvious that Gongsun Xing had done it deliberately to tease him.

As the saying went, even when beating a dog, one had to consider its owner. For Gongsun Xing to tease his "little pet" right in front of him made Shang Qinghua deeply dissatisfied.

However, with his very life currently in Gongsun Xing’s hands, he could only swallow his anger and endure it.

Mm, this Prince Shang really knew how to read the situation.

The changes in Shang Qinghua’s expression did not escape Gongsun Xing’s eyes.

Anyone else would have already erupted in rage, yet he was able to endure it after weighing the circumstances.

Reaching a hand into the water to test the temperature, Gongsun Xing said, "Alright. I’ve sealed your condition within your seven meridians and eight channels. You may be unable to move for the time being. I think you should stay in Rong Qinglei’s hall, it’ll save me from running back and forth during treatment."

Standing at a distance, Yue Mingxuan wanted to step forward to assess Shang Qinghua’s condition, but what he had just seen made him hesitate.

He could only ask from afar, "Miracle Doctor Gongsun, does this mean he’s considered better now?"

Gongsun Xing found his reaction somewhat amusing.

While removing the hollow silver needles from Shang Qinghua’s body, he replied, "Do you think cold poison is that easy to get rid of? It’s not like you don’t know about his sparrow peck pulse. Even if he doesn’t die, he’s half a dead man. Who knows what rare treasures this fellow consumed in the past to forcibly preserve a thread of vital pulse. Otherwise, even if a celestial immortal descended from the heavens, they’d still have to go down to the underworld first to look for his soul."

Hearing Gongsun Xing say this, Yue Mingxuan stuck out his tongue.

Being able to keep his life was already quite good; as for the other matters, they could be planned slowly in the future.
