Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers-Chapter 375 - 376: My Man’s Mysterious Confidence

Chapter 375: Chapter 376: My Man’s Mysterious Confidence

Qi Yue spoke naturally, picking up the teacup in front of Zhao Xiyan, and tilting her head back to drink.

She hadn’t had a sip of water all night and morning.

“Take it slow, there’s more,” Zhao Xiyan said as he poured her another cup.

After drinking two cups of tea brewed with Spiritual Spring Water, Qi Yue felt much more comfortable.

“I’m asking you, didn’t you move at all last night?”

Zhao Xiyan took the teacup from her hand, held her entire hand, and said earnestly, “Of course not; I was out dealing with something this morning and just got back.”

“What about last night?” As she spoke, Qi Yue glanced at the bed in the inner room, which didn’t look like it had been used.

Zhao Xiyan smiled, his clear black and white eyes brimming with gentle light.

“How could a husband rest easy when his wife has spent the night awake?”

What he said was truly touching!

Qi Yue couldn’t bear to call him foolish and hurriedly took out an insulated box containing medicine pills.

“Let’s try them later; if they work, we won’t have to suffer like this anymore.”

“It worked?!” Zhao Xiyan exclaimed, staring at the box in front of him!

Having been to the space, he had learned about many things he had never seen before, and he recognized this as an insulated box, so he had no intention of opening it.

He just touched the box lightly with his hand.

“Well, it sort of worked,” Qi Yue nodded. “But we can’t be sure until we try it.”

The pills were designed to suppress the active neurons in the Immortal Bug, which were developed without confirming whether the active neurons were the culprit behind the people’s stiffness.

She wasn’t sure whether it could cure the people or not.

It was entirely a risky endeavor!

If the pills didn’t work, it would mean she was on the wrong track, and everything would have to start over.

Zhao Xiyan was aware of the whole situation; seeing Qi Yue’s silence, he couldn’t help but comfort her.

“Yueyue, don’t worry. It will surely be okay. Rest this afternoon, and leave the trial to me.”

“That won’t do. I need to see what happens. Just in case something…

Qi Yue began to speak, then swallowed her words. If things didn’t work out, she could only bring Mrs. Hu into the space laboratory, anaesthetize her, and proceed with the dissection.

Thinking about this, Qi Yue shivered.

She didn’t know when her heart had become harder.

Killing for the sake of saving others, she didn’t know if it was right.

“I believe in you, Yueyue. You can do it, and you must believe in yourself.”

“Mhm.”

Zhao Xiyan’s comfort seemed to bolster her confidence out of thin air.

Suddenly, she felt a warmth by her ear; Zhao Xiyan had moved closer without her noticing.

“Yueyue, if it works, we can then ‘take care of business,’ right?”

Take care of business?

Qi Yue almost spit out her tea!

“Why do you always bring this up whenever there’s an opportunity?”

Zhao Xiyan pulled out a handkerchief and, with a calm expression, wiped the corner of Qi Yue’s lips.

“We’ve talked about this so much yet haven’t done it. Wouldn’t it be impossible to ever ‘take care of it’ if I don’t bring it up?”

Qi Yue was at a loss for words from his retort, not knowing what to say.

Thinking about it, although a lot had happened recently, there was still time to ‘consummate the marriage’ if they really tried.

At least, when they were in the space, the two of them slept together, undisturbed by anyone!

But being a perfectionist, she couldn’t entertain any form of pleasure while having any burdens on her mind.

Moreover, this was a matter that required mood and atmosphere.

…

Zhao Xiyan was still chasing her ears with questions.

“I’m asking you, my lady, tonight or tomorrow night, can we get things done?”

Qi Yue was exasperated and turned to give him several sweet kisses.

“We can get it done, as long as this pill works, then we can proceed. That should be fine, right!”

“Alright.”

Just then, a maid knocked on the door and announced that the meal was ready, finally putting an end to this topic of conversation!

The two went to the small hall for dinner, and soon Huang Zai’an arrived, overjoyed to learn that the antidote had been made.

“My disciple, truly worthy of being my good disciple! Such a difficult task, and you’ve actually accomplished it!”

Afterward, they began to discuss how to test the medicine.

Qi Yue originally intended to try the medicine on a few patients who had just stiffened at the Hu Residence, but Huang Zai’an suggested it should be tried on three types of people.

“My disciple, this is what I think. Three pills to be taken by three kinds of people. Those who have just stiffened, those with blisters, and those without blisters but have been in long contact with the sick, to see each of their responses and collect a lot of data.”

“Let’s do it this way.” Qi Yue thought it made sense, hesitated, and then said, “But let’s not mention it’s an antidote before they take it.”

Huang Zai’an chuckled.

“Are you worried it might not work, disciple?”

Qi Yue awkwardly pursed her lips.

“Aren’t you worried?”

“Of course, I’m not.” Huang Zai’an stroked his beard, laughing heartily, “After all, I’m not the one who made the antidote.”

Qi Yue was instantly speechless.

What use was there having such a master?!

After dinner, the three of them took the medicine to the Hu Residence, noting the orderly streets with hardly anyone running around, Qi Yue couldn’t help but praise.

“Zhao Xiyan, truly remarkable, even in this situation you managed to make the people obey.”

“It has nothing to do with me.” Zhao Xiyan smiled slightly. “The people heard that you forgave them and worked day and night on the antidote, and they all quieted down. You gave them hope.”

“Then you aren’t worried that I might not be able to produce the antidote?”

“Not worried, because I know you will eventually make it.”

Faced with her man’s mysterious confidence, Qi Yue was left with nothing to say but “Alright.”

Upon entering the Hu Residence, they quickly found three suitable subjects.

Upon swallowing the pills, the three individuals exhibited varying degrees of frightful distortions, much like a computer simulation replaying.

The most exaggerated reaction came from the person covered in blisters.

He alternated between claiming he was cold and then hot and eventually fell to the ground, rolling around.

After much turmoil, the blisters on his face burst.

Initially, Qi Yue thought they had been scraped open, but she soon realized that was not the case.

Because the man quickly got up from the ground and said he felt light all over, as if something had disappeared from his body.

Upon closer inspection, all the blisters on his body had burst, and after wiping off the mystery fluid, the blistered areas were nearly healed!

The person without blisters vomited a large pile of white, stringy substance right there.

Qi Yue hurriedly took out a sample packet, collected some of it, and planned to take it back for further study.

As for the person who had stiffened, the reaction was the simplest: his limbs could slightly move.

Qi Yue judged that these three individuals were likely in three stages of the disease.

Although the incubative patient had no blisters, he was admittedly ill, demonstrated by the strange stringy substance he vomited.

The symptomatic stage was the blistering phase, followed by the stiffening stage, which was the most severe and hardest to cure.

Of course, it could also be due to an insufficient dosage of the medicine.

Huang Zai’an shared the same view.

Excitedly rubbing his hands together, he paced around the stiffened patient.

“My disciple, it looks like you’ve succeeded! The pills are indeed effective for those in the incubative and symptomatic stages! How much more medicine do you have? Hurry up and distribute it to everyone!”
