The Princess of the Substitute Bride Strikes Back

Fu Yunxi brought out the instrument, which was a fully automatic scanner that could scan the entire body and provide diagnosis.

Seeing that Mu Yibai hadn't taken off his pants, she stepped forward to help.

"You don't have to take it all off, just roll up your trouser legs."

Fu Yunxi was stunned for a moment. That’s right. It can be checked even if it is rolled up to the thighs. Doesn’t she just want to help Mu Yibai check other parts of the body?

After all, in the book he never married in his life, so if he has any illness he should be treated early.

But this matter cannot be rushed. The relationship between the two has not reached that stage yet. Let's focus on the legs first.

"Okay, just lie down. It won't hurt when the instrument is testing you. Tell me if you feel any discomfort."

Mu Yibai looked at Fu Yunxi's instrument. It was something he had never seen before. It looked like a white human figure that could move on its own, with its arms moving on its legs. But it didn't look like a human, and the texture was different. He couldn't see through Fu Yunxi even more.

This person who didn't appear in the previous life suddenly appeared in this life, bringing treasures and always giving him surprises. She was kind to his family and wanted to treat his leg. He couldn't understand all this.

"Ding - testing completed."

Fu Yunxi stepped forward to see the result, his expression solemn.

The report reads:

Diagnosis: No meridians in the legs, normal bones, muscle atrophy, movement disorders, symptoms similar to those of the "bone-eating insect" in ancient books;

Bone-eating Gu: A highly poisonous Gu that has disappeared for a thousand years. It drills into the body through the wound and chews through all six meridians in the leg. The host experiences severe pain for three days and three nights, loses all feeling in the legs, and becomes completely disabled. The Gu then leaves the body through the original wound, causing the host to die suddenly.

Treatment method: Soak the legs in the Heavenly Spirit Liquid, which has also disappeared for a thousand years, for three hours to reshape the muscles and bones.

The pain of meridian remodeling during the process is unbearable for ordinary people, and anesthesia cannot be used, otherwise the remodeling will be hindered and the procedure will be useless.

There were storms in Fu Yunxi's eyes. How deep must the hatred be to have someone resort to such cruel means?

As her thoughts surged, she hurriedly took out the space spiritual spring to test whether it could be used. She had a feeling that God would not give up on Mu Yibai, and neither would she.

"It's okay. I know my body and there's no cure for it."

Seeing Fu Yunxi's gloomy expression, Mu Yibai thought her leg was indeed beyond saving, so he stood up and rolled down his trouser legs to comfort her.

The instrument beeped again, "Beep - testing completed."

The test report shows that this spiritual spring has magical effects. It can relieve fatigue, cleanse the marrow and strengthen the tendons, reshape the meridians, accelerate wound healing and regulate the body.

Fu Yunxi was delighted. She knew the loyalty of the Mu family and Mu Yibai's high spirits. God would not take his legs away easily! "Great! Your legs can be saved. I knew that good people would be rewarded."

When Mu Yibai heard this, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

He had fantasized about this sentence countless times, but had experienced countless disappointments, and his heart was as dead as a pool of water. However, this unexpected surprise was like a huge rock hitting the water, causing a thousand waves.

"But the treatment process will be extremely painful, beyond what ordinary people can endure." Fu Yunxi saw a flash of hope in Mu Yibai's eyes and felt pity for him. She secretly vowed to help him stand up again and restore the glory of the Mu family.

"If it can really be cured, why should I fear the pain? I've been through worse. When can I get cured? Can we start tonight?"

Mu Yibai tried his best to control his emotions. Although he knew that there was little hope, he still tended to trust Fu Yunxi in his heart. Perhaps she was sent by God to save him.

"It can be done tonight. The treatment is simple. You just need to soak your legs in holy water. However, the process is extremely painful. You are not poisoned, but infected with the bone-eating insect. The insect will enter through the wound on your leg. For the next three days and three nights, you will suffer the pain of your meridians being gnawed. After three days, your meridians will be severed and your legs will lose sensation. The bone-eating insect will then come out of the wound, and your legs will be healed."

Fu Yunxi thought it necessary to tell Mu Yibai the truth. Such a cruel method must have been due to a blood feud with him, and the poisonous insect entered the body through the wound, which meant that the person who put the poison in the body had been very close to him. Telling him would also help him to take precautions in the future.

"It's actually a Gu worm! I have all the symptoms you described. I originally thought it was caused by poisoning, but it turned out to be a bone-eating Gu. I was injured by a knife on the frontier battlefield, and the people of Southern Xinjiang are good at Gu magic, so it seems that this incident is related to Southern Xinjiang."

Mu Yibai understood clearly that this might be the result of someone in the army secretly colluding with Southern Xinjiang, intending to seize the territory of Great Zhao or usurp the throne. Later, his brother went to the battlefield on his behalf, and Southern Xinjiang surrendered.

Who on earth would go to such great lengths to cripple me instead of taking my life? In my previous life, I had never met any strange people in the frontier, and everything became even more confusing.

"I will reshape your meridians. During this process, you will first feel an itch, followed by severe pain, which will last for about an hour. After the meridians are reshaped, I will massage your leg acupuncture points every day to relieve leg muscle atrophy. By then, your legs will gradually regain feeling.

"But due to the previous injury and the fact that you haven't exerted yourself for a year, it will be difficult for you to stand and walk. However, as long as you stick to the rehabilitation training as I said, you will be able to walk normally soon. But the specific recovery time depends on your physical condition. The slowest is half a year, and the fastest is half a month. Are you ready?"

Fu Yunxi explained the treatment method in one breath so that he could be mentally prepared.

"No problem. Since there is a way to stand up, I won't give up. Let's start tonight."

"Okay, I'll go prepare the bathing supplies, you take off your coat."

Fu Yunxi moved out the bathtub in the space and filled it with spiritual spring water.

Accustomed to Fu Yunxi's magic, Mu Yibai no longer questioned it. He quickly took off his outer clothes, put on a white silk inner garment, and jumped into the bathtub.

Fu Yunxi's heart beat faster when she looked at the picture of the handsome man bathing. She had to say that Mu Yibai's appearance was quite outstanding even in modern times. He would definitely shine in the entertainment industry. She couldn't help but be moved.

At this moment, the spiritual spring water began to take effect. Mu Yibai leaned on the edge of the bathtub, his arms outstretched, tightly gripping the edge of the bathtub, his veins bulging, enduring the severe pain.

His face was pale, sweat dripped from his forehead, his eyes were closed, the corners of his mouth were trembling, his lips were tightly pursed, and his Adam's apple rolled, just like a picture of a sick beauty bathing!

Of course, if you ignore the water beneath him that is becoming increasingly darker and smellier.

Mu Yibai had been practicing martial arts since he was young, and his meridians were somewhat damaged. After only a few minutes of his body being immersed in the spiritual spring water, the water became turbid.

Fu Yunxi was worried that too little water would affect the effect, so she quickly drained away the dirty water and then poured clear spiritual spring water into the bathtub. She repeated this many times, and after more than half an hour, the water gradually became clear.

Mu Yibai also slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were blurry and his expression was confused. His originally smooth skin was so delicate that even his pores were not visible. His hair was messily stuck to his sweat-soaked cheeks. His lips were slightly open, and he looked as haggard as a withered flower in a painting hall.

Fu Yunxi was stunned for a moment, then took a bottle, filled it with spiritual spring water, inserted a straw, and handed it to his mouth, "Drink some water, hold the straw in your mouth, and drink it slowly."

Mu Yibai weakly obeyed her words, put his lips on the straw, bit it and sucked it, his throat trembling slightly, and drank the whole bottle of water with her hand.

After drinking the spiritual spring water, he seemed to have regained some strength. He slowly relaxed his body, leaned his neck back on the edge of the bathtub, and slowly put his hands into the water.

Fu Yunxi came back to her senses from Mu Yibai's stunning face, and secretly thanked her lucky that the bathtub was of good quality, otherwise, how could it withstand the strength of a martial artist like him, and it would have been crushed by him long ago.

While thinking, she looked at the place where Mu Yibai had just held his hand and found that there was really a crack! It was actually cracked!

Oh my god! This is her favorite white ceramic bathtub! I wonder if it will be restored to its original state tomorrow if I put it back in the space? This is a big loss!

However, considering that he is my husband, I have to endure it!
