Princess Medical Doctor

Chapter 299: Failed, can’t stand it (Part 1)

The cave was small, two people will feel cramped if they stay inside together. And it was extremely low, it only has the same height as Lin Chujiu. Demon Lord has to bend his waist.

However, the cave was quite clean and some mosquito and snake repellents were planted around. Lin Chujiu made a guess that someone must have deliberately planted them.

After Demon Lord left, Lin Chujiu look for some dried leaves and branches nearby. She piled them up outside the cave, but another problem came in, she can’t make a fire!

There was fuel in the medical system, but there were no tools for ignition. Lin Chujiu looked at the pile of dried leaves and branches, then sighed.

When Demon Lord came back, he saw Lin Chujiu, sitting at the entrance of the cave like a fool, so he couldn’t help but frown: “What’s wrong?”

“I, I can’t make a fire.” Lin Chujiu, who was a bit embarrassed said while getting up.

She seemed to be not only a burden but also adding troubles.

“Take this.” Demon Lord tosses the fire fold in front of Lin Chujiu, then he went to cut branches to stick the pheasant and rabbit.

There was no water source nearby, so Demon Lord specifically cleaned them before he came back. The bloody smell in the prey was lessened.

Lin Chujiu was not yet familiar with the use of the fire fold. When Demon Lord finished what he was doing, Lin Chujiu haven’t made a fire.

“How can you be so stupid?” Demon Lord cursed, but he took the fire fold in Lin Chujiu’s hand and gently blew it. A fire immediately appeared to where the dried branches and leaves were placed. Demon Lord seems to be experienced in making a fire, he randomly moved the dried branches, and the flame became bigger.

“The fire is now burning, can you roast the meat?” Demon Lord patted his hand while speaking. Obviously, he has no intention to do it himself.

As a lord, he rarely does things himself.

“Mmm.” Lin Chujiu agreed. She was used to roasting meat in the wild. Demon Lord doesn’t need to say anything. Lin Chujiu took the meat and roasted them in the fire.

There were no barbecue grills, it has to be held by hands. It takes a lot of hard work to do. And because it was close to the fire, people couldn’t stand it for a long period of time.

Lin Chujiu’s hands were hurt from climbing the mountain cliff. But now, she was roasting the meat and she was close to the fire. The wounds from her body felt like being roasted and it’s becoming more painful.

Not long after, Lin Chujiu was sweating all over her body. Her face was even more flushed than before. However, even if she was having a hard time, she tried to endure. She didn’t show any painful expression on her face.

It was hard to bear, but it was tolerable.

Seeing this scene, Demon Lord’s handsome face under the mask showed a trace of irritation. Then, he grabbed the meat from her hands and pushed her away: “Get out of the way.”

His tone sounds bad, his actions were rude. But for Lin Chujiu, it was a goodwill: “Thank you.”

“Your thank you sound so cheap.” Aside from saying thank you, does she know to say something else?

“I... owe you my life.” Lin Chujiu said and solemnly made a promise: “If one day, you need help, as long as you speak and I can do it, I will do it for you.”

“Very good, remember your words.” Demon Lord, who was full of hypocrisy, didn’t refuse.

Lin Chujiu sighed with relief. She and Demon Lord were not familiar with each other. But, he doesn’t ask anything in return, which made her very surprised.

Demon Lord took over the rest of the work. Lin Chujiu no longer hesitated and went inside the cave. Then, she covered herself with Demon Lord’s robe.

Lin Chujiu was very tired, not long after, she fell asleep. Demon Lord looked back and saw Lin Chujiu sleeping. He couldn’t help but frown in this.

As his eyes constrict, Demon Lord sighed. Then, he continued roasting the meat in his hands.

Chapter 299: Failed, can’t stand it (Part 2)

After half an hour, the pheasant was cooked, Demon Lord hesitated for a long time, but still woke up Lin Chujiu.

If she will not eat, she won’t be able to hold herself.

Demon Lord may be bad to people, but his technique in roasting food was really good. Even without any salt or other seasonings, Lin Chujiu smelled a very fragrant food.

A three to four pounds whole chicken meat was all finished by Lin Chujiu, which showed that she was really hungry.

After the rabbit meat in Demon Lord’s hands were cooked. He also asked Lin Chujiu if she wanted to eat it. However, Lin Chujiu shook her head: “I am full.” She actually wanted to drink some water, but she didn’t dare to say it out loud.

However, just because Lin Chujiu doesn’t say anything, Demon Lord doesn’t know. Demon Lord seemed very inconsiderate person, but every action he made shows that he was a very caring person.

“Hold it.” After shoving the rabbit meat to Lin Chujiu, Demon Lord went inside the cave. After a while, he came out holding something like a reed.

“Break it in the middle, there is water inside to drink.” Demon Lord rudely handed the stuff in Lin Chujiu and took the roasted rabbit in her hand.

Lin Chujiu didn’t say thank you for this time, but there was an even more smile on her face. Demon Lord didn’t fine her smile so terrible.

Demon Lord never felt this good. He also find Lin Chujiu pleasing to the eye, it’s just, no one could see his expression across his ghostly mask.

In the palace, when the Emperor heard the leader of the spy’s report, he was so angry that he slammed his hand to the table: “You can’t even catch a woman? What is your use then?”

*Snapped* As the ink stone shattered on the floor, the leader of the spy stayed emotionless and just shrink his body, but in actuality, he was shivering in fear.

“This subordinate deserves to be punished, please punish this low one, Huangshang.” The leader of the spy knew that he cannot escape punishment. If he was defeated by Xiao Wangye, there’s nothing to discuss, but the person who defeated him this time was... ...

A woman, a woman who doesn’t have any martial art skills, so no need to ask why the Emperor was very dissatisfied with him. Because he himself couldn’t accept this fact.

He admitted that it was because of his carelessness, but it can’t change the fact that Xiao Wangfei escaped from his hand.

“Of course, you have to be punished.” The emperor was angry.

The plan was good, but it failed at the last moment. Everything became useless.

Recently, things were not going smoothly. First, Divine Doctor Mo killed himself. Originally, his case has been brought to an end, but who knows what happened, after two days, people have been saying that he was guilty of sins again and he committed suicide.

The front line battle result has also been getting worse. The Northern Army has been attacking them like lunatics. They want food so bad. Eminent Xu can barely support the army.

The war was still tight and ongoing, but the Southern Princess and Eastern Prince were coming to visit. With all these events, the Emperor felt like his head was getting big.

The Emperor had a headache just by thinking all of those things. As he massaged his temple, he saw the leader of the spy still kowtowing on the floor. The emperor couldn’t help but say in disgust: “Get out, go and punished yourself.”

When the leader of the spy heard this, he let out a sigh of relief. “Thank you, Huangshang for not killing this subordinate.” He will receive a punishment, a punishment that is not too light but also not too fatal.

The emperor didn’t speak, he only sat alone in the imperial hall. After a long period of time, a eunuch announced: “Huangshang, Imperial Doctor Qin is outside, he said he will check your highness pulse.”

“Let him in.” Due to his recent physical discomfort, Imperil Doctor Qin came to check his pulse.

After paying his respect, Imperial Doctor Qin crouched beside the emperor and checked his pulse. A few moments later, he said: “Huangshang, you’re recently having a heartburn, from too much thinking.”

“Zhen... ...” The emperor just spoke, when suddenly, a loud noise came from outside the hall... ...
