Chapter 18 Abnormalities (Part 3/3)
When Jun Lixuan took it in his hand, he immediately smelled a strange medicinal scent. It was a bit pungent, and definitely not a pleasant one for daily use.
Ling Qiyang took a white porcelain bottle from the medicine box and was about to go down to take a look. Right before he went down, Jun Lixuan grabbed him. With perplexed eyes, Jun Lixuan asked, "You are not bringing the medicine ball?"
Ling Qiyang smiled and said, "Don't worry about those things coming too close to me." His physique had been carefully cultivated by his Master since young. Naturally, it was foolproof.
Jun Lixuan looked at him unexpectedly and said, "After I go back, you will change my body to be like yours."
"This is effective only if you start to adjust it from an early age. That will not work for you. In fact, it might have the opposite effect."
Jun Lixuan had no choice. He had to let Ling Qiyang walk into the grave by himself. Fortunately, the mass graves were not large, and Ling Qiyang would not leave his sight.
As he walked down the slope, Ling Qiyang opened the porcelain bottle's lid and sprinkled some white powder. Several black spots began to appear on the white powder after some time, and something seemed to be crawling in each site.
Ling Qiyang closed the bottle cap and moved a step aside. The line of white powder was quickly engulfed, and a soft cacophony of crawling slows rumbled. Then, the black dots' movement began to slow down and stopped, forming a dead silence. Even more weirdly, the white powder began to dissolve the black spots. Slowly, black faded into white, then a wash of crimson dyed the white. Finally, the fresh red darkened into an eldritch wine-colour.
As the unprecedented changes occurred, Jun Lixuan's jaws dropped in surprise. Simultaneously, his deep admiration for Ling Qiyang's quick thinking and endless depth of knowledge was reaffirmed. He could not help to thank the Heavens for his second chance at life. This life, he got to marry his Prince Consort and get a genius doctor by his side. Commonly, Omegas were treated like women after marriage, tending to housework, and never leaving the house unless absolutely necessary. His wife was nothing like that. Ling Qiyang walked through life and death situations with him and would even follow him to the wilderness to deal with such dangerous things.
Ling Qiyang scanned the ground and confirmed the location of the parasites. He walked out of the mass grave, carefully avoiding the spots covered with the white powder. After a few steps out, he suddenly stopped. He squatted down and lifted a bamboo mat beside his feet.
A pale man, severely battered and covered in bruises was wrapped in the bamboo mat. Judging from his blood-stained and ruined clothes, he was not a prisoner. When he accidentally stepped on this person, he heard a low groan. His sharp doctor's instinct instantly blared. Ling Qiyang felt the veins on the injured man's wrist and found a weak, but still pumping pulse.
"Lixuan, come and help me." Ling Qiyang shouted to Jun Lixuan above.
Hearing Ling Qiyang’s call, Jun Lixuan immediately zoomed over. “What's the matter?"
"This person is still alive. Take him up first." Ling Qiyang said.
Jun Lixuan was shocked. It was not that he was unwilling to bring this man up, but the man was severely injured. Not one inch of his body was spared from merciless whipping. His fingers were like jelly, with his joints and bones crushed. Most likely, he had other injuries that were still unclear. Seeing this man hanging to life by a thread, Jun Lixuan was worried that he could kill this man if he used too much strength. As he bent down to lift the man up, Jun Lixuan was taken aback. This face was very familiar. He only felt that fate was unpredictable. He never expected Ling Qiyang to pick this man back.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Jun Lixuan was in a daze, Ling Qiyang patted him.

"It's nothing." Jun Lixuan pulled his thought together. He shook off all of the excessive worried he had and wrapped the person in the bamboo mat. Holding Ling Qiyang in one hand and the man in the other, he leapt forward and got out of the pit in one jump.

Apologies for the late update! University has resumed, and I had to make time between part-time work and school for the translation! I will probably spend twice as much time translating today and really can't be lazy so that the work can be released as per usual! Will really need your support to keep this going!
