The group's beloved wife: She is the phoenix, she is the king

Chapter 698 2 in 3

When faced with a problem, there's always a chance things will go wrong at a crucial moment. —Epigraph

"Is there any footage?" Fan Nuoxi didn't answer, but still hugged Tan Ying to soothe her. "Can I see it?"

Seeing the seriousness and concern in Fan Nuoxi's eyes, Tan Ying couldn't bear to refuse, "Okay... alright..."

She reluctantly stepped back from Fan Nuoxi's embrace and used magic to present the scene she had seen outside to the group.

The scene features a deafening, terrifying roar, and an endless abyss, a pitch-black void that seems to mock the overestimation of others' abilities.

The ground where Tan Ying was located was constantly shaking, seemingly rippling, clearly affected by some force.

But at that moment, the screen suddenly went offline, disappearing from view. Only a strange sound, mixed with the sounds of wind, buzzing, and vibration, could be heard intermittently from the screen: "Hehehe—so you're still alive... I'll find you sooner or later...hehehe—"

As soon as the sound appeared, Dongfang Junyan quickly pulled Fan Nuoxi into his arms and covered her ears to prevent her from being frightened.

As for Tuanzi, she originally wanted to hide in Fan Nuoxi's arms, but Dongfang Junyan was too fast, so she could only pitifully tug at Tan Ying's sleeve.

Tan Ying turned pale upon hearing the voice and was about to do something when she discovered that the image had already disappeared on its own.

Seeing Tuanzi tugging at his sleeve and Fan Nuoxi being protected by Dongfang Junyan, his eyes turned red.

Her trembling body revealed Tan Ying's fear and helplessness. Then, she lost consciousness.

The little dumpling quickly grew a few sizes larger and caught Tan Ying, exclaiming in a panic, "Sister Tan..."

Upon hearing the sound, Fan Nuoxi quickly pushed Dongfang Junyan away and began to check on Tan Ying's condition.

The nearby celestial servants, seeing this, quickly went to find someone to help.

"Oh no, she's in a state of extreme shock, her consciousness has gone dark, she's probably recalling something even more terrifying..."

Seeing Tan Ying's body twitching intermittently, Fan Nuoxi felt very anxious.

As they were talking, Fan Nuoxi took out silver needles and inserted them into Tan Ying's body several times. With the help of her magic, it took a long time for Tan Ying's condition to stabilize.

Dongfang Junyan, meanwhile, was handing things to Fan Nuoxi from time to time and wiping her sweat.

When Fan Nuoxi finally had some free time, her body was already sore and weak. Before she could even speak, Dongfang Junyan picked her up in his arms.

Only after receiving Fan Nuoxi's permission did Tuanzi pick up Tan Ying and take her back to her room to take care of her.

Fan Nuoxi had barely been placed on the recliner by Dongfang Junyan when she felt a splitting headache. She grabbed Dongfang Junyan's sleeve with one hand and said, "Ayan, I feel so uncomfortable."

Dongfang Junyan quickly touched Fan Nuoxi's forehead, which was sweating due to a headache; the skin under his palm was quite warm.

"Nuoxi, I'll have someone fetch some water right away."

Just as they were about to call for help, a female official who looked like a doctor arrived, carrying a medicine box and following behind the fairy attendant.

"Doctor, she's not feeling well, please take a look at her quickly!"

The attendant looked around but didn't see Tan Ying, so he asked, "Why is the Divine Envoy also ill? Where is His Majesty?"

"Her condition has stabilized for now, and she should be in the inner room being looked after by Tuanzi right now," Dongfang Junyan said without turning his head as he watched the doctor examine Fan Nuoxi.

Upon hearing the sound, the celestial attendant hurried to the inner chamber and found that it was indeed as Dongfang Junyan had said.

"Doctor, how is she?" Dongfang Junyan asked anxiously, looking at the doctor with a furrowed brow.

"It seems there's some kind of seal or something acting up within the divine messenger's body; he's currently restless and agitated. Could he have been stimulated by something earlier?" The doctor withdrew his hand from Fan Nuoxi's pulse and stood up to ask.

Dongfang Junyan said nervously, "During the discussion... after your Venerable One played a video of her going out to investigate, some strange sounds suddenly came from the video, and then your Venerable One fainted. She was then rescued by Nuoxi, and as soon as Nuoxi rested, she developed a high fever."

Hearing this, Fan Nuoxi was in a daze, only remembering the word "ban," and she helplessly gripped Dongfang Junyan's hand.

"Is this ban good or bad?" Dongfang Junyan asked, looking at his hand that was being held tightly.

Nuoxi had mentioned to him before that since that incident, when she was able to transform into various animals, her body had become far stronger than before and she was no longer subject to any interference. So why was there this restriction?

This is really strange.

Could all of this be related to the turbulent world outside?

It's still related to that strange sound from before...

"Doctor, would you like to take another look?" Dongfang Junyan's palms were sweaty with nervousness.

Seeing that Dongfang Junyan's face was somewhat pale, and glancing at Fan Nuoxi who was already in a daze, the doctor quickly examined him again.

After a long while, the doctor closed his medicine box, looking at Dongfang Junyan with exhaustion and a hint of regret, "I'm sorry, I did my best."

"Within the body of the Divine Envoy, it is less a seal and more a curse..."

"This should be her first episode. If it cannot be suppressed and no solution can be found, it will likely recur frequently in the future."

"Then do you know where this curse came from and when it was formed?" Dongfang Junyan asked in fear, his body trembling slightly as he gripped the mast beside the bed.

If the previous incidents involving Cun Xin and Fei Yu were due to a curse, Fan Nuoxi has suffered so many calamities and her health has finally recovered. Logically, the curse should have been broken.

But now they say she's been struck by a newly activated curse...

Clearly, Fan Nuoxi has once again been forced to take the blame.

Considering the strange sound today, the turmoil in the outside world, and the recent encounters with several higher-dimensional life forms that I had never encountered before...

At this moment, Dongfang Junyan desperately wished he could take Fan Nuoxi back to the modern world, where at least there wouldn't be any unexpected accidents or endless attacks.

"This humble official...this humble official does not know..." the doctor said truthfully, "I can only deduce that this curse was planted a long time ago, and if there is no way to deal with it, it will follow the divine messenger through countless lifetimes..."

"The initial onset is like this high fever and palpitations, and then, due to the frequency of the attacks, one will gradually become a walking corpse until death and the flesh is gone."

"The one who tied the knot must untie it."

Before he could finish speaking, Dongfang Junyan collapsed straight down, already unconscious.

The doctor quickly summoned several celestial attendants to settle Dongfang Junyan on a small couch nearby.

After a flurry of activity, the doctor was finally able to examine Dongfang Junyan.

The doctor wiped the sweat from his face, feeling utterly devastated.

The attendants were also trembling with fear. Seeing the doctor's pale and uneasy expression, they dared not disturb him and could only hope that the situation was not so bad.

Before they could even figure out Dongfang Junyan's condition, the doctor's hand was knocked away by a force emanating from Dongfang Junyan, and then the doctor and several celestial servants fell to the ground.

The loud noise naturally made Tuanzi, who was anxiously waiting in the inner room, rush out.

……

Three days had passed by the time everything settled down.

Moon Palace.

The doctor followed behind Tan Ying, feeling wronged, and muttered, "Your Majesty, you overestimate my medical skills."

“But they still haven’t woken up. How can I just sit idly by?” Tan Ying paused and turned to look at the doctor.

"Although I have practiced medicine for many years, I cannot cure every difficult and complicated disease. Moreover, the cases of the Divine Envoy and that young master are not the kind of cases I usually encounter..."

The doctor was on the verge of tears.

God knows how she, as a doctor, got through those three days.

It's not just that the Divine Envoy's health is unpredictable, but also that of our own Venerable One, who is sometimes healthy and sometimes ill. Not to mention that Young Master Dongfang always gets sent flying before he can even figure out what's going on...

Is she treating an illness?

It's more like it's going to kill her!

Several batches of celestial servants who served in the Yueyi Palace have fallen ill this month, and His Majesty has seen it all.

However, she couldn't disobey the emperor's command, not to mention she couldn't get over her own inner turmoil...

Unfortunately, her colleagues were ordered by the emperor to go to other places to appease the people.

She looked through a pile of ancient books but couldn't figure out what was going on.

Thinking of these doctors brought tears to her eyes. Just as she was about to complain a bit more, she saw Tan Ying looking at her pitifully. "The situation is turbulent right now, and distant water can't quench immediate thirst. In this matter, I can only rely on you..."
