The Fox Goddes Love Struggle
Chapter XC - Lingzhi Mushroom Pills

"So the seventh prince already has a ducal empress?" Asked one of the guards with a bright face. And that bodyguard surnamed Lin.

(The duke's queen is usually a nickname for the prince's wife /Wangfei. If the prince himself is titled Duke/Duke. Although Xuan Chen was not recognized by the empress, but every prince ever held the title of Duke/Duke. And because of the empress, Xuan Chen had never received the title)

"Who told you I was the seventh prince?" Xuan Chen asked unconcernedly about the ravings of one of them earlier.

"That's the first and second students who told us all." Answer Lin's fellow bodyguard, surnamed Jin.

"What?!" Xuan Chen was wide-eyed. "Shen Lan's.. Yi Xuemei's.." He said the names of the two men.

Perhaps they were smiling proudly because they were being praised for being friends with a prince and the Queen of the fairy realm.

"Your highness prince, you are wounded. I'd better get some help to bring this duchess.." Said Lin's bodyguard still did not give up wanting to help him.

"Don't! Let me carry it." Sergey Xuan Chen as he passed away.

However how surprised Lin and Jin were when they saw the pale face of the girl who was on Xuan Chen's back.

"Isn't that the Queen?!" Exclaimed the two of them who made Xuan Chen's move come to a halt.

"So the prince's wife is the Queen of the fairy realm?" Said Lin with an unexpected face.

"Really! So should we call her Queen or the seventh Princess?" Sahut Jin looked confused.

Xuan Chen only sighed resignedly and immediately rushed away. No matter the ravings of the two of them anymore who are so deafening.

Just as he was about to reach the gate, suddenly Shen Lan and Yi Xuemei appeared before him. The two people were shocked as soon as they saw that his disheveled-dressed self was also full of blood.

"What happened to you?!" Ask Shen Lan first.

"I'm not the one who got hurt. Yi.." - Yi..."

"Yi Changyin is injured?!" Cut Yi Xuemei. The girl immediately rushed over to Xuan Chen.

Seeing Yi Changyin who was unconscious with a pale face like an undead, he grew even more worried. "Xuan Chen, what happened?!" Ask is impatient. With various preconceptions in his mind.

"Maybe you already know, that there is some kind of poison in Yi Changyin's body. That's..."

His words were cut back in the air because of Yi Xuemei.

"Did the poison react again?!"

Xuan Chen simply nodded languidly. Yi Xuemei bit her lips while turning her brain to look for something. While Shen Lan was twitching the base of her nose, looking for something.

"You don't have to worry. There's a Lingzhi mushroom that can temporarily relieve the poison." Pause Xuan Chen.

"I don't have any more time, have to go immediately to Hua Tao's pavilion and make a pill."

(Note: Hua Tao is taken from the name of a legendary and famous healer from China. Hua Tuo who was born in Qiao County was a very famous physician at the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms Period. Her full name is Hua Yuanhua. Source: Wikipedia)

"Where did you get Lingzhi mushroom?!" Shen Lan exclaimed in a bit of disbelief.

"There are some who grew up in the spiritual dimension space, you don't have to worry. Everything will be fine."

His explanation this time made Yi Xuemei and Shen Lan sigh in relief.

"Do you need help?" Bid Shen Lan and Yi Xuemei simultaneously.

"No need, I can do it myself." Xuan Chen replied confidently as he passed away. And disappeared in the air a sign he had already entered the academy.

Yi Xuemei was about to catch up, but Shen Lan immediately blocked his hand.

"Just leave him. Let's just say that Xuan Chen was replying to what Yi Changyin had sacrificed to him."

.......

.......

.......

Xuan Chen had now arrived at Hua Tao's pavilion. Unhindered or cross paths with the people in the academy. Because if that happens his business will be even more troublesome.

But when he reached the door of the wooden pavilion, Xuan Chen felt puzzled. Both of his hands were holding onto Yi Changyin's body so as not to fall. How did he open the door?!

Xuan Chen could have opened it using his feet. Yet he always remembered elder Ling Zhao's message to his students.

"Remember, don't forcibly open the door of Hua Tao's pavilion. Because the hinge is broken. If you open it forcibly, the door will collapse. Open it carefully.."

It made him uneasy as he impatiently wanted to open the door of Hua Tao's pavilion.

Goddamnit! Wasn't he able to take Yi Changyin down first?! Why did he forget that?!

Finally Xuan Chen took Yi Changyin down first. Leaning Yi Changyin's body on top of the available patio chair with great difficulty. Then open the door.

Damnit damnit!

It turned out that the door of the Hua Tao pavilion was locked!

Maybe he broke the door, right?

"Does the seventh prince need help?" Suddenly a familiar girl's voice appeared beside his ear.

He was Fu Lianbing who held the key to Hua Tao's pavilion in her hands.

Finally thanks to Fu Lianbing's help, he was able to get inside. Lying Yi Changyin on a mattress that was available for the sick.

Hua Tao Pavilion is so vast. On the middle side was a row of five shelves containing books and scrolls about pills and medicines. On the left side are three mats lined up. Useful for students or anyone who wants to get first aid.

On the side facing the door, there was an open shelf filled with various types of furnaces to make pills. Xuan Chen took out one of the larger silver-colored ones.

"It looks like the seventh prince will make an unusual pill." Di Lianbing said as he continued to follow Xuan Chen who was now heading towards the right side. Which has a pill and medicine table.

So many tools such as grinders, smelters, smoothers, molds and so on.

Xuan Chen was speechless on the spot, ever since Fu Lianbing had already stood beside him with a curious face. Perhaps he took out the Lingzhi and Feng'er mushrooms before him.

"Ah, Miss Fu. Can I ask for help?" He said with a sigh.

It was unexpected that Fu Lianbing bowed before him. "By pleasure, your majesty.."

"What can I help you with?"

But in the end he breathed. Getting the girl to leave is all that matters now. "Please get me my clothes and Yi Changyin."

The girl leaned back. "I'll do it, your honor.."

Making Xuan Chen would declare a protest back, but again it was not so because this time Fu Lianbing had already darted away.

After gathering the intent, Xuan Chen had finally lit the furnace with the help of the legendary Phoenix fire element, Feng'er.

After that he brought in the Lingzhi mushroom along with a large amount of spiritual energy. While Feng'er was already allowed back in. He doesn't want to be disturbed.

Even when the Lingzhi mushroom was already burning inside, it still had to channel spiritual energy so as not to burn. Even to the point of sweating, and letting out a river of blood at the end of his lips.

When the medicinal fragrance was already oozing in the air, Xuan Chen hardened his flow of spiritual energy in order to carefully pull back the Lingzhi mushroom.

Miraculously, now the mushroom with a wide plate has turned into a small brown ball.

Just then Xuan Chen pulled it slowly until it landed right above his palm. Along with a mouthful of blood he vomited right.

Making Lingzhi mushroom pills was indeed tiring. Spending a lot of spiritual energy. But very good efficacy. Until he had to be silent for a while to gather energy and wipe the remaining blood on the lips.

After that he returned to the left side of the room, which was blocked by bookshelves and scrolls about medicine and medicine.

Seen by him Yi Changyin had already regained his senses, yet was still seen writhing in pain. Make him immediately widen his steps. Then sat down on the edge of the mattress and grabbed onto Yi Changyin's body. He rested on his chest.

Xuan Chen stared briefly at Yi Changyin's pale face. His forehead shriveled withstanding the pain. It made him unable to delay it any longer to put the Lingzhi mushroom pill into his own mouth. Then put it together with Yi Changyin's lips.

If the Lingzhi mushroom and the warm treatment can prevent the poison from killing, wouldn't it be better if the two were combined?

After feeling that the melting Lingzhi mushroom pill had already entered Yi Changyin's mouth in its entirety, Xuan Chen released it. And put Yi Changyin back on the mat.

Sure enough, so miraculous Lingzhi mushroom made full of struggle and given affection. In an instant Yi Changyin's face turned red with blood. Not like the undead.

His face was as normal as it had never been in excruciating pain.

Slowly he opened his eyes, and got up helped by Xuan Chen. Along with Fu Lianbing came a pile of clothes in his hands.

"Queen, are you awake?" He put a pile of clothes at the end of the mat.

"The seventh prince, Lianbing has brought it for you. Lianbing retreated." Without waiting for any more answers, the girl darted away.

It however made Yi Changyin stunned because of his call to Xuan Chen. "Seventh prince? How's he?!"

"Yi Xuemei and Shen Lan told them." Xuan Chen replied which made Yi Changyin snatch.

"They!!"

"Already.. already.let's change the clothes first." Xuan Chen tried to calm down while holding onto his shoulder.

Yet Yi Changyin brushed him off still with an annoyed face. "I know!" He shouted while picking up the white clothes and passed away with his legs snapped.

But not too long later he returned while pointing at Xuan Chen's nose. Give a sharp warning, "don't peek!"

After that he left still with an annoyed face.

Xuan Chen just laughed. He was happy for Yi Changyin to return to the initial setup.

.......

.......

.......

After changing clothes, they simply sat on the mat with a lazy expression. It was unexpected that Fu Lianbing brought the queen's special clothes to him. Also the luxurious clothes Xuan Chen wore, as the prince was famous in general.

Also a mountain of jewels tucked in the folds of those clothes.

"Oh no, I don't like collars like this." Yi Changyin complained while tugging at the hard collar of the shirt on his shoulders.

"This cloak is too thick." Xuan Chen said as he spread out one hand.

"We'd better take off this robe!" His grimace while removing the Queen's distinctive large robe. Until the remaining basic clothes are plain and wide-sleeved. Xuan Chen followed what he did.

"It looks like they've colluded!" Yi Changyin growled with a face. Then pulled Xuan Chen's hand to immediately leave from there.

When he opened the door, how surprised the two of them were at getting an unexpected welcome.

"Hail the Queen of the fairy realm and the seventh Prince."

Almost everyone in the academy gathered there. Even the teacher and the elder paid their respects to him.

Yi Changyin was extremely annoyed! He's not comfortable!

"I know I'm the Queen of the fairy realms!" Yi Changyin started to take out his teething while shouting.

"I know I'm tens of thousands of years older than you! I know Xuan Chen is the seventh prince!"

"But here I am your student! Your friends! You heard, right?!"

"From now on, nobody salutes anymore! Just watch out I'll destroy the academy's fields if I'm being rude to both of us!" The girl even started threatening.

Everyone just fell silent. Yi Xuemei was no exception, Shen Lan and the smiling elder Ling Zhao held back his laughter. And that sight had been seen by Yi Changyin.

"Silence you three!" He cried loudly as he passed away leaving everyone.

He followed up with Xuan Chen who still had time to bow to everyone with an embarrassed expression.
