The waitress was rather new to the Imperial City. If she had lived in the Imperial City longer, then she would've known that the woman in front of her was Godly Doctor Square's sole doctor, the General Household's Second Miss, Baili Hongzhuang!
“It’s downright satisfying seeing that look on that damn woman, Baili Yuyan’s face!”
Little Black's face was filled with hard to conceal excitement, "Watching this, I don't even feel the need to eat anymore!"
"You said it yourself, no need for you to eat tonight then." Baili Hongzhuang laughed.
Little Black's face broke down, Master, am I not happy for you? How could you have the heart to do this to me?"
Little White smiled wisely, "Naturally, if you sin, you won't get rewarded."
"Since I can't eat,, do you really think you still can?" Little Black said threateningly.
Little White was stunned, quickly supporting, "Master, Little Black's words were for your happiness, you can't take his food!"
Listeningas the duo bombarded her as they chattered incessantly for food, Baili Hongzhaung laughed quietly, "Okay, okay, today you two will definitely get a big dinner tonight!"
"Long live Master!"
When Baili Hongzhuang came back to Jingli Garden, Dibei Chen was still sitting on the table. When he saw her come back, his handsome face revealed a smile.
"It looks like you're very busy today, only coming back now."
Baili Hongzhuang nodded, "Naturally. I'm not like you, who has nothing to do."
Dibei Chen wasn't offended, "Have you eaten dinner? I'll ask the chefs to prepare something."
"I'll try the skills of a master chef's."
Dibei Chen clapped his hands and a servant instantly started to serve the food and wine.
Looking at the table full of rich wine and plentiful foods, Baili Hongzhuang suddenly felt like her head was a little wet. She looked up, could it be raining?
The bright moon still hung in the sky, without the slightest sign of rain. With a start, she suddenly realised it was the two fluffball's drool!
"Master, so much yummy food!" Little Black exclaimed.
The light in Baili Hongzhuang's pupils suddenly sank, a threatining tone appearing in her voice, "If you two dare to drool on my head, do you believe that I'll let you spend the next few days hungry?"
The fluffballs were at first startled, but then quickly covered their mouths, no longer daring to let a drop of drool spill out.
Dibei Chen watched as Baili Hongzhaung's expressions changed constantly, a touch of surprise emerging in his ocean like pupils. "What are you doing?"
"Nothing." Baili Hongzhaung responded, "I just thought this chef's food is good."
Her belly full of food and liquor, Baili Hongzhuang smiled, satisfied. Since coming here, this was the first time she ate such delicious food and wine.
Nothing needed to be said about the General's Household's meals, and she rarely went to restaurants. Even when she did, the restaurant couldn't be compared to today's feast.
"Its late, have an early rest."
Dibei Chen's smile was warm with alcohal as he got up, preparing to leave Jingli Garden and return to his palace.
"Wait a moment!" Baili Hongzhuang suddenly shouted at Dibei Chen.
Dibei Chen looked at Baili Hongzhaung, confused, "What?"
"Tonight, sleep here at Jingli Garden."
Hearing her words, Hei Mu couldn't help but choke. He never expected for Baili Hongzhaung to actually be so aggressive!
Although little lord and Baili Hongzhaung were getting married in less than a month, in the end, they still aren't married yet!
Dibei Chenplayed bashful, "Wifey, if you're so forward, your hubby will be embarrassed!"
"But if Wifey wishes so, then I'm willing."
Baili Hongzhaung's mouth twitched. This guy's face keeps on changing, she didn't even finish her words, and he already thought so far!
"You think too much." Baili Hongzhaung spoke slowly, "I didn't mean anything else."
Dibei Chen's lips hooked up into an understanding smile, "I know Wifey didn't mean anything else. Only that meaning, I understand."
The words he spoke were very ambiguous.
"What do you understand!" Baili Hongzhaung raised her voice, "I'm just trying to help cure your legs!"
Hearing her words, waves appeared in Dibei Chen's ocean like eyes before they quickly returned to their previous teasing appearance, "Actually, now I think that staying here to chat about what's uncooked is actually a pretty good idea."
(TL Note: Uncooked is referring to making Hongzhuang cooked, aka pregnant)
"If you don't want to be cured, then forget it."
"No, no, if Wifey can help her Hubby, it’s naturally the best." Dibei Chen added hastily. He smiled innocently, his whole face like a blooming flower. It was an indescribably bewitching scene.
Hei Mu sighed with relief, Baili Hongzhaung wasn't that aggressive after all. But when he heard that Baili Hongzhaung wanted to cure his little lord's leg disease, his heart couldn't help but pound with excitement.
His little lord's legs had already been crippled for 3 whole years. Many people had already lost hope in his lord, but he had always believed that one day, his little lord would be able to stand up on his own two feet!
Baili Hongzhaung's face turned serious as she began to treat Dibei Chen.
Carefully confirming the degree of paralysis in Dibei Chen's legs, Baili Hongzhuang asked, "Can you feel the paralysis developing upwards in your body?"
Dibei Chen nodded slightly, "There's some."
Looking at his placid, handsome face, Baili Hongzhuang couldn't help but admire.
This guy was only a teenager. Continuing to fight in the face of complete paralysis rather than giving up, and continuing to maintain such elegance, it simply wasn't something a normal person could do.
Just by this feature, she knew Dibei Chen's heart was firm.
"Wife, do you really know what I have?" Dibei Chen inquired.
It wasn't that he didn't believe Baili Hongzhaung, but he had already visited many doctors, and not one has ever even heard of his illness.
Baili Hongzhuang raised her eyebrow, "Would I lie to you?"
Since Dibei Chen protected her from Baili Haoxuan, not allowing even a drop to spill on her, her heart was already set on helping him!
When she was lonely, there was only Dibei Chen who reached out to her.
"Lady Baili, in the end, what happened to my lord? He was poisoned, right?" Hei Mu couldn't help but ask.
He really wanted to know how his awe-inspiring lord's legs suddenly became crippled and fell down from the altar.
If it was purposefully done, he won't let him off!
"You've investigated for so long, but you still haven't found anything, right?"
Hei Mu nodded, embarrassed. He had always been ashamed of this.
"Well, there's no need to look any longer. This isn't due to poisoning."
"Feng Bo's Godly Doctor said that as well, but also didn't know what it was."
Dibei Chen's face still had a smile. Even though he was talking about such a serious problem, his appearance was as carefree as ever.
"This is because of your physique." Baili Hongzhuang explained, "It’s good that the Godly Doctor was vigilant and could slow down the paralysis. Otherwise, it would've been incurable."
"Physique?"
Dibei Chen pondered. Although he had thought of many possibilities, he never thought it'd be due to this.
A physique complication was just too rare!
Everybody knew about physiques, and his own constitution wasn't very special.
"Have you heard about the cursed physique?" Baili Hongzhuang asked as she took Dibei Chen's pulse.
"Out of all the physiques I know, I've never heard of a cursed physique."
He knew almost all of the continent's rare physiques, but still, has never heard of such a constitution.
Baili Hongzhuang wasn't surprised, "The cursed physique is incredibly rare, so it’s only natural you've never heard of it."
"Your cultivation speed used to be very fast, far surpassing an ordinary cultivator's."
Baili Hongzhuang smiled quietly, "Then your body began to grow paralyzed, starting from your toes and spreading outwards little by little. Now, your cultivation speed is also beginning to slow down."
The expression in Dibei Chen's eyes constantly changed, his heart pounding with shock.
He had never told anyone about his cultivation slowing down. Even Feng Bo's Godly Doctor didn't know.
Baili Hongzhuang was sure of everything as soon as she took his pulse. Could his body really be a cursed physique?
Hei Mu was shocked, Lady Baili was indeed godly!
Her reputation of a Godly Doctor was truly well deserved!
"Can you change my physique?"
A surge of darkness swirled under the brightness in Dibei Chen's eyes.
Even though his anxiety was well hidden, Baili Hongzhuang still caught it. The smile on her lips grew softer.
"Of course I can!"
When the words burst out, Dibei Chen's deep, ocean-like eyes seemed to bloom with boundless splendor.
After 3 years, there was finally hope!
With her gentle smile, the tension in his ice cold heart seemed to melt away.
"However, the process is very difficult. Enduring it won't be easy." Baili Hongzhuang's voice was low and serious, "If you can't persevere, then you'll die."
If you cannot stand the pain, then it'd be better to just live your life suppressed and crippled.
Otherwise, if you were to give up in the middle of changing your physique, it'd be the real fall.
Dibei Chen was calm. He didn't bat an eyelid even when speaking of death, the firm look in his eyes never wavering.
"Wife, don't worry. This little pain won't beat your Husband."
Dibei Chen's voice was low and deep. Although his face was still the same one she had always teased, the look in his eyes was serious. The depths of his eyes reflected Baili Hongzhuang.
Baili Hongzhuang looked at the determination in those 2 eyes, "Now that you've chosen, I'll help you to the end."
"By helping me change my constitution, how would you be impacted?"
Baili Hongzhuang smiled, "Nothing, just more work."
Hearing her words, although Baili Hongzhuang said it was simple, Dibei Chen knew it couldn't only be that.
Since the process to change his physique was so difficult that he may even die, then Baili Hongzhuang would also have to work extraordinarily hard.
Baili Hongzhuang took out her bag of needles from the Heaven-Earth pouch. Before she can change his constitution, the paralysis in the legs must be treated first.
Words spoken, Baili Hongzhuang prepared for Dibei Chen's acupuncture when suddenly, he grabbed her hand that was about to start.
Raising her head a little, Baili Hongzhuang looked at Dibei Chen quizzically. She didn't know why he had just clutched her hand.
Dibei Chen carefully inspected that beautiful and exquisite face, his deep voice slightly hoarse as he asked, "Why are you helping me?"
Why?
They've only known each other for a short time. Baili Hongzhuang didn't even know who he was, so why was she helping him?
