Chapter 287 Dongfang Wan'er
Dongfang Wan'er felt the women's clamor was like sharp thorns piercing her eardrums, disturbing her peace of mind. She was too lazy to pay attention to their incessant, meaningless arguments; those faces twisted with jealousy and anger were nothing more than insignificant shadows in her eyes. She turned her head decisively, as if severing ties with the chaotic world, her gaze fixed on Ye Jiuchen lying on the bed with deep affection and worry. Ye Jiuchen's face was as pale as paper, his bloodless features seemingly shrouded in frost, radiating a heartbreaking weakness. His breath was as faint as a candle flickering in the wind, each breath seemingly exhausting all his strength, the slight rise and fall sounding exceptionally heavy in the silent room.
The renowned physician Dan stood to one side, his brow furrowed, deep wrinkles seemingly filled with worry and helplessness. He shook his head repeatedly and sighed, saying, "The situation is not optimistic. We must find the legendary spiritual spring as soon as possible, otherwise..." He trailed off, his unfinished words weighing heavily on everyone's hearts like a boulder. The solemnity on his face grew even more pronounced, his eyes revealing a hint of despair and resentment. After all, faced with such a difficult case, even his years of medical experience seemed somewhat powerless at this moment.
Just as everyone was frantic, like ants on a hot pan, filled with anxiety yet helpless, a servant rushed in. He ran so fast that dust billowed high beneath his feet, and large beads of sweat covered his forehead, rolling down his cheeks and soaking his collar. He was panting heavily, his chest heaving as if trying to inhale every last breath of air. Yet, his eyes shone with excitement, a bright light like a ray of dawn in the darkness. He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Found it! Found it! The location of the spirit spring has been found!" His voice trembled slightly with excitement, but it exploded in everyone's hearts like a thunderclap.
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Wan'er's face lit up with a joyful light, a light like the warm sun breaking through the ice in spring, instantly dispelling the gloom in her heart. She was filled with hope, like a drowning person grasping at a straw. Without hesitation, she shouted, "Take me there quickly!" Her words were filled with unwavering determination, her posture upright and resolute, like a warrior about to go into battle.
So, the group set off without stopping, following Dongfang Wan'er. Along the way, they hurried along, the path rugged and uneven, but no one seemed to care. They traversed dense forests, the foliage so thick it acted as a natural barrier, sunlight filtering through layers of leaves to cast dappled shadows. They moved through the light and shadow, the wind whistling past their ears, as if nature itself was urging them on. They then climbed steep mountain ridges, their rocks jagged, each step fraught with difficulty. But they all shared one belief: to reach the spirit spring as quickly as possible.
Finally, after their arduous journey, they arrived at a secluded valley. There, nestled deep within, lay the spiritual spring, shrouded in mist that swirled like a soft veil, creating an ethereal, otherworldly scene. The spring itself emitted a steaming vapor, its vibrant energy like the life force welling up from the earth's depths. Dongfang Wan'er, anxious and impatient, paid no heed to the wondrous sight; her eyes were fixed solely on the spring water, as if it were the very source of Ye Jiuchen's life. She swiftly and gently drew water from the spring, her movements delicate yet precise, as if handling the most precious treasure in the world. She carefully filled the spring water container, then, without a moment's delay, hurriedly returned to the palace. During her frantic run, only one voice echoed in her heart: "You must save Ye Jiuchen!" Upon arriving at the palace, she handed the spring water to the divine physician, anxiously urging, "Divine Physician, please prepare the medicine as soon as possible." Her eyes were filled with expectation and trust, her gaze fixed intently on the divine physician, as if she wanted to convey her unwavering faith to him.
The divine physician carefully accepted the invaluable spring water. His expression instantly turned solemn, as if he were holding not ordinary spring water, but something of life and death. He nodded slightly, indicating that he understood the importance of the matter, and then turned around without hesitation, quickly and steadily entering the pharmacy.
At this moment, Dongfang Wan'er, standing outside the door, was extremely anxious. She paced back and forth, her gaze fixed on the tightly closed door, as if trying to see what was happening inside. Her hands were unconsciously twisted together due to excessive tension, her knuckles turning white from the force.
Time ticked by, each moment an agony for Dongfang Wan'er. Finally, after a long wait, a rich medicinal aroma wafted from the room. Then, the door was gently pushed open, and the weary-looking Divine Physician emerged. He carried a bowl of freshly brewed medicinal soup, its color peculiar and emitting a faint glow, clearly infused with the magical power of the spiritual spring.
Seeing this, Dongfang Wan'er quickly stepped forward, her eyes filled with expectation and worry. The Divine Physician Dan, looking at her anxious expression, couldn't help but sigh and said slowly, "Although this medicine is aided by the power of the spiritual spring, Young Master Ye's injuries are far too severe. Whether he will wake up after drinking this bowl of medicine is probably entirely up to fate." With that, he handed the bowl of medicine to Dongfang Wan'er.
Dongfang Wan'er's slender hands trembled violently, like withered branches swaying in the wind. She carefully took the bowl that exuded a strong medicinal fragrance, as if she were holding not an ordinary bowl of medicine, but the last ray of hope for the entire world. Her eyes widened as she stared intently at the bowl of medicine, even her breathing became soft, as if afraid that the slightest movement of hers would shatter this hard-won hope.
Taking a deep breath, Dongfang Wan'er tried to calm her wildly beating heart. She composed herself, and as if making a momentous decision, resolutely turned around and walked with firm yet incredibly heavy steps towards Ye Jiuchen's room. Each step was so difficult, as if she were treading not on solid ground, but on a muddy, thorny swamp, and carrying on her back the heavy expectations and endless worries of everyone.
