Free Web NovelChapter 8: Chapter 7: If That Damned Fox Finds Out, He’ll Definitely Spoil My Fun
Su Mo watched the old man’s shifty eyes and immediately guessed his intentions.
’This shameless bastard is definitely trying to figure out how to frame me and make the accusation of harming Long Yan stick!’
Fei Yan frowned in disapproval.
However, he still decided to wait and see how things would unfold.
But in the next second, the Witch Doctor’s words shattered his thoughts. "The gods have just informed me that there are indeed traces of a forbidden drug in Lieutenant General Long Yan’s body! Su Mo, you are audacious and reckless! Do you admit your guilt!"
Fei Yan’s brows furrowed deeply as he stared at the Witch Doctor in disbelief.
Su Mo’s face was calm. "Are you certain about your diagnosis? Are you sure it was the gods who told you?"
"You think your little tricks can fool me? It’s obvious you used too large a dose, causing him to fall into a coma. Then you used a sharp weapon to create wounds to cover your tracks. That way you could get away with it!"
He then picked up an unmarked jar from the bedside. "This is the forbidden drug you used on the Dragon Race’s Young General!"
The white powder inside was very conspicuous.
Ah Nuan’s eyes lit up as she looked at Fei Yan. "High Priest, are you still going to side with this vicious Female?!"
Su Mo couldn’t help but roll her eyes. ’Taking my anti-inflammatory powder and calling it a forbidden drug... you people are truly stupid!’
’The stupidest one is this bald Witch Doctor. The gods? Only this mob of idiots would fall for such nonsense. If the gods were so useful, wouldn’t they have cured his bald head by now?!’
Fei Yan couldn’t suppress a light cough.
Then he looked at Su Mo and asked, "Do you have anything to say?"
Su Mo walked over and snatched the bottle from the Witch Doctor’s hand. "Lord Witch Doctor, are you certain this is a forbidden drug?"
"Of course! Its effects are potent. An ordinary person would die if they accidentally inhaled too much! The Dragon Race’s Young General lying here is the best proof!"
"And what if I say it’s not?" Su Mo opened the bottle, dipped her fingertip in to get a small amount, and gently rubbed it.
Terrified, the crowd backed away.
"What are you afraid of? This is just hemostatic and anti-inflammatory powder. If anyone is injured, they can come forward and try it to see if it’s real or fake!"
"It clearly is! Stop trying to argue!" The Witch Doctor didn’t think anyone would dare test the medicine. Besides, Su Mo was unpopular in the tribe; no one would be willing to take a risk for her. As long as he stood his ground, Su Mo would have no way to defend herself!
That strange-looking white powder, how could it possibly stop bleeding and reduce inflammation! Su Mo must be talking nonsense!
The crowd looked at each other, but no one dared to step forward. After all, the Witch Doctor’s words were more credible than Su Mo’s.
A cold glint flashed in Su Mo’s eyes as she looked at the crowd.
’Fine, I’ll do it myself! WAHHH, to save this dragon, I’ve already exhausted my energy, and now I have to cut myself. He’d better repay me properly for this later!’
Just as she picked up a nearby dagger, preparing to cut her finger.
"Wait. I’ll do it."
Fei Yan rolled up his sleeve, revealing a patch of rotting flesh. It was a hunting wound from two days ago that hadn’t been treated properly and had started to fester.
Su Mo never imagined that Fei Yan, this "walking chicken," would actually step up to test the medicine for her.
While she was stunned, Fei Yan swiftly brought a knife down, slicing open the rotting flesh. Bright red blood instantly gushed out.
The crowd exclaimed in shock, "High Priest, have you forgotten what Su Mo did to Mo Xiao with the Aphrodisiac Flower?!"
"That’s right, it’s a forbidden drug!"
The Witch Doctor said anxiously, "High Priest, you mustn’t!"
Fei Yan frowned. "Let her try!"
Su Mo poured some powder on the wound. The bleeding stopped quickly, and the surrounding redness and swelling visibly subsided.
The crowd watched this scene in utter disbelief.
Su Mo raised an eyebrow. This was a divine hemostatic and anti-inflammatory medicine gifted by the system, far more effective than ordinary medicine. ’Today, I’ll let you all broaden your horizons.’
She turned to the flustered Witch Doctor. "Do you have anything else to say?"
The crowd turned their suspicious gazes to the Lord Witch Doctor, beginning to doubt whether his earlier words were true or false.
"Even if this isn’t the forbidden drug, it doesn’t mean you don’t have other drugs!"
Fei Yan said in a cold tone, "Lord Witch Doctor, one must have evidence to back up one’s words. Your misjudgment just now has already become a joke. I advise you to watch what you say. Although I’m not a physician, I know a little. There is no forbidden drug in Long Yan’s body. I wonder, how did you reach your diagnosis?"
Su Mo was a little surprised. She didn’t expect this bird not only to be willing to test the medicine for her but also to vouch for her.
Everyone present also looked astonished. "Doesn’t the High Priest detest Su Mo the most? Why would he speak up for her?!"
"The High Priest wouldn’t just talk nonsense. So, was the Witch Doctor really slandering Su Mo just now?"
Ah Nuan frowned. "Impossible! Why would the Witch Doctor frame Su Mo!"
Fei Yan shot her a cold glance. "If you don’t believe it, we can invite a few others who know something about medicine. It will be obvious who is lying!"
The crowd broke into a clamor of discussion, with most beginning to question the Witch Doctor’s earlier diagnosis.
Just then, two Little Dragons stumbled into the room, dragging wild vegetables they had dug up on the mountain.
Seeing the people in the room, the two little ones froze.
Then they smiled at Su Mo and said, "Medical Sister, you’ve worked hard treating our Lord Major General. We have no way to repay you, so we went to the mountain to hunt some game and picked some wild vegetables to bring back!"
Su Mo bent down and patted their cute little horns. "Don’t go anymore. You’re both still injured."
"It’s okay! You’ve already healed our injuries!"
The Little Dragon said with a sincere face, "When the Lord Major General wakes up, we will definitely reward you handsomely!"
The crowd murmured among themselves, "It seems Su Mo really wasn’t lying."
"The Lord Witch Doctor is too muddled. How could he get such a diagnosis wrong..."
Fei Yan scowled at the crowd. "The truth is now clear. Everyone, get out!"
The Witch Doctor’s face was beet red. He shot Su Mo a look of shame and anger, then turned and was the first to head out.
Su Mo said coldly, "High Priest and Witch Doctor, please wait. A moment ago, the Witch Doctor swore that I used a forbidden drug on the Dragon Race’s Young General, causing him to be seriously injured and unconscious. Such a blatant slander... if I don’t get an explanation, I’m afraid this won’t be over!"
Fei Yan turned to the Witch Doctor with a frown. "Lord Witch Doctor, you have abused your professional authority to slander another. Effective immediately, you are suspended from your duties. You will help the cleaning team sweep the town’s trash every day. We will wait for the Clan Leader to return to decide on further punishment."
The Witch Doctor was clearly not convinced. "High Priest, you..."
Fei Yan looked at him with a cold gaze and said unhappily, "What, does the Witch Doctor feel my punishment is too light?"
"I wouldn’t dare!"
The Witch Doctor turned away with an angry huff and left with his hands behind his back.
The crowd, having seen the show, also left.
Su Mo turned around and saw Fei Yan still standing there. She frowned. ’Why hasn’t he left yet?’
Fei Yan gave a light cough and said, "The Witch Doctor is suspended. I’ll have to trouble my future wife to tend to the wound on my arm."
’You’ve got to be kidding me. It’s just a small wound. Even if I hadn’t put powder on it, you could have healed it yourself with your abilities!’
Fei Yan’s expression was nonchalant as he continued, "The Dragon Race’s Young General is a person of special status. I’ll stay here for the next few days to help you look after him. Feel free to ask me to do anything."
’Is he crazy?! No, wait, he doesn’t trust me and wants to stay and supervise me? Damn walking chicken, his mind is just as cunning as a fox’s!!!’
"Ahem!" Fei Yan’s hand, hanging by his side, clenched slightly as he tried his best to remain calm.
Su Mo: "...Go wash the wild vegetables." ƒгeewёbnovel.com
As she went to the kitchen to cook, Yue Ying arrived.
He had already heard about what had happened and was annoyed that he had arrived too late to help Su Mo in time.
Seeing Fei Yan washing vegetables, Yue Ying was a little surprised. "You’re going to eat before you leave?"
Without looking up, Fei Yan replied, "I’m not leaving tonight."
"You’re going to stay here?!"
"If you can stay here, why can’t I?" freёweɓnovel.com
"Didn’t you want to break off the engagement before..."
"Who said that?!"
Annoyed, Fei Yan flicked a splash of water at the fox across from him. ’Foxes really are cunning. How dare he think about monopolizing my future wife for himself.’
In the kitchen, Su Mo was thinking to herself as she stir-fried the vegetables.
’I should probably give Long Yan a bath tonight. If he doesn’t get washed soon, he’ll start to stink! This is a great chance to feast my eyes~ But I can’t let that damn fox know, or he’ll definitely ruin my fun!’
Outside the room, Yue Ying and Fei Yan looked at each other. "..."
