The Villain Doesn’t Want To Get Entangled With the Beautiful Girl After Rebirth

62. Neutralizing the Cold Depths

“Your Highness, are you alright?”

The royal guards came running anxiously. They were both excited and worried; excited to see the princess, as despite their extensive search, there was no trace of her. Now, suddenly brought before the city gates by a stranger from the skies, their excitement was natural.

Their worry stemmed from the princess’s frailty to the cold. As the saying goes, “the higher you go, the colder it becomes,” and with the high-altitude winds being so chilly, they feared the princess couldn’t withstand the ordeal and her condition might have worsened—a responsibility they could not bear.

“I’m fine, thank you all for your concern.”

“Princess, may I ask where you have been all this time? We’ve searched every corner but couldn’t find you.”

“I’m not sure myself. I was saved by a hero surnamed Lin. He told me I was in a box, and after some troubles, he rescued me and brought me back to Huang City.”

“A hero surnamed Lin? Could it be Lin Nuo of the Xuan Yun Sect?!” The royal guards were stirred.

However, Luo Xiao Xue shook her head, “No, his name is Lin Fan Pai, a highly skilled hero. He dresses simply, unassuming and low-profile, calm in handling affairs, and carries himself with an easy grace. Unfortunately, I didn’t get the chance to properly thank him before he left.”

“Lin Fan Pai? He must be a hero from one of the three great sects. I will definitely find out his whereabouts for you, Princess, so that we may express our gratitude properly.”

“Mm, that would be best. But I believe he is a hero indifferent to fame and fortune, so please don’t be too ostentatious or deliberate in your search, to avoid causing him any trouble,” said Luo Xiao Xue.

“Yes, Your Highness!”

The guards bowed repeatedly, offering their utmost respect to Luo Xiao Xue, “Your Highness, you suffer from the cold, and must have endured much hardship on your journey. Please, come with us into the city. We have arranged for the best physicians. By the way, how do you feel now, Your Highness?”

“My body… I used to cough. Hmm? No, that’s not right. It seems I haven’t coughed since being rescued by Hero Lin.”

Luo Xiao Xue realized that she hadn’t coughed since being on Lin Nuo’s back, her breathing had become smoother, and even her cold-prone body seemed to have warmed up.

Indeed, her hands were warm. Despite having flown through the cold, howling winds at high altitudes, her condition should have worsened.

Why then?

She pondered, recalling how she was still cold and coughing after emerging from the box, yet somehow felt better after ascending into the sky.

She hadn’t seen a physician, nor had she taken any medicine, except for the meat floss cake given by Young Master Lin.

Could the meat floss cake be a miraculous cure? That clearly defied medical logic.

Wait, she remembered a strange taste when she bit into the meat floss cake before. Indeed, there was a faint hint of medicinal herbs.

“Hmm…”

Luo Xiao Xue had a notion, “It’s very likely that.”

“Ah? Likely what, Your Highness?” the guard asked, puzzled.

“Never mind, let’s enter the city first and consult a physician to see how my body is doing.”

Luo Xiao Xue needed the physician to confirm whether her constitution was still prone to cold or if it was just a coincidence that she hadn’t coughed or felt cold.

“Your Highness, the physician has arrived!”

From noble mtl dot come

At that moment, a doctor carrying a medicine chest hurried over. Due to the princess’s cold constitution, physicians throughout the city were always on standby. Upon discovering the princess’s condition, they immediately summoned the nearby doctors.

After arriving, the doctor quickly took Luo Xiaoxue’s pulse, observed her complexion, and inquired about how she felt, asking if she had any symptoms like uneven breathing or aversion to cold.

Observing, smelling, asking, and touching; after a series of checks, the doctor had a diagnosis in mind.

“How is it, doctor?” Luo Xiaoxue asked.

“Reporting to Your Highness, you have had a cold foundation and a deficiency of yang. However, recently a strong yang energy has been neutralizing your cold foundation, and now your yin and yang, qi and blood are perfectly balanced. Just as you said, Your Highness, you don’t have symptoms like aversion to cold or coughing, indicating that your constitution has greatly improved. But this strong yang energy is waning. While your yin and yang, qi and blood are in good condition, it would be wise to take some yang-warming and cold-assisting medicine to nurture your body. With care, you won’t suffer from cold weakness anymore.”

“Then I’ll trouble you to prescribe the medicine.”

“It’s my honor, Your Highness.”

The doctor wrote down some medicinal herb names and dosages, as well as the amount of water for decoction, all clearly detailed. He handed Luo Xiaoxue the prescription, instructing her on the proper dosage. Once back in the city, she would prepare the medicine for two hours, perfect for taking after meals.

This was great news for Luo Xiaoxue. Her cold and weak constitution wasn’t an overnight issue; the royal physicians had treated her many times, but they couldn’t adjust her frail condition.

Yet now, there was a sudden improvement, a strong yang energy neutralizing her cold foundation.

Very strange.

“Doctor, is this yang energy you speak of due to human luck?”

“Not at all. Yin and yang, qi and blood are internal energies, while human luck is external and hardly penetrates the body. Your Highness’s coldness is due to an internal quality and requires internal energy to balance. This yang energy is likely caused by medicine. Have you taken any medicine before?”

“Medicine?”

Luo Xiaoxue recalled the meat floss cake with a faint medicinal scent.
