The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

#627 - It seems more than

Lu Jing and the others followed Chief Tongtu to the palace where his daughter was staying.

Before they even entered, they heard angry roars coming from inside, like a tiger roaring in the forest, able to feel the anger from afar.

"What's all the shouting inside?" Qi Wenren asked.

Luo Yingying looked a little embarrassed, "She's shouting, shouting for someone… to bring food."

Qi Wenren was shocked, was she that hungry? No, if she was really that hungry, she wouldn't have the strength to shout.

Chief Tongtu's expression changed when he heard the roar, and without regard for anything else, he strode inside.

Lu Jing and the others followed closely behind, entering the hall, the first thing that caught their eyes was a screen, blocking their view.

Only after going around the screen did Lu Jing and the others see the scene inside the hall clearly.

Even though they were somewhat prepared, Qi Wenren still gasped when he saw this scene.

On a large bed that was two zhang long, there were piles of empty bowls and plates, and in the center of those bowls and plates was a huge ball of flesh!

If the ball of flesh wasn't still yelling, probably no one would think it was a person, she was so fat that her hands and feet were almost invisible, the fat on her body just drooped down, covering another layer of fat.

Because the visual impact was too strong, Qi Wenren couldn't help but take a step back.

He could now fully understand why the groom named Bu Bule would give up being the future lord of Shizhou and run away overnight.

This was no longer something that could be endured.

Qi Wenren said, "Didn't you say she gained three times her weight? I don't think it's just that…"

"Tong Qianxi was originally very burly, an ordinary man is probably only half her weight," Luo Yingying said softly, "Now she has gained three times her weight, so…"

"Qianxi, you've already eaten two roasted suckling pigs, a whole roasted lamb, seven fish, and two large baskets of fruits and vegetables today. It's not that I think you're eating too much, but I'm worried that your body won't be able to take it if you keep eating,

After all, it's only been a little while since today started. Let's just bear with it a little, just bear with it for another hour, and we can eat the next meal."

The answer he got was a silver plate, flying past his face!

Fortunately, Chief Tongtu saw that something was wrong and dodged early, so he wasn't hit, but the remaining vegetable juice in the plate still splashed on his body, leaving a stain on his elaborate robe.

And a simple action of throwing the plate seemed to have exhausted all the strength of the ball of flesh on the bed, and then she began to pant heavily, and then she couldn't catch her breath, and fell on the bed, rolling her eyes.

Chief Tongtu couldn't get angry when he saw this, and stomped his feet in distress, and said to the surrounding maids, "What are you still standing there for! Hurry up and save Miss!"

However, the maids looked at each other, each more hesitant than the other.

Seeing that Chief Tongtu was about to get angry again, one of the bolder ones said, "Miss… Miss bites people when she's extremely hungry, everyone is afraid of being bitten by her."

"A bunch of useless people!" Chief Tongtu was also extremely angry.

He reached out and pushed away the maids in front of him, and was about to step forward himself, but someone was one step faster than him.

Chief Tongtu took a closer look and found that it was one of the two Chen people doctors.

Lu Jing came to Tong Qianxi's bed, reached out, wanting to put his palm on the back of her heart, but after looking around, he couldn't find where Tong Qianxi's back heart was.

So he could only change the place, and instead pointed to her brow, pouring a strand of pure internal force into her Yintang acupoint.

Soon Tong Qianxi reacted and regained consciousness.

However, the first thing she did after waking up was not to thank Lu Jing, the life-saving benefactor, but to bite him!

Lu Jing didn't know if he was frightened, but he didn't have time to retract his hand, and the maids couldn't help but close their eyes when they saw this.

But the next moment, they heard Tong Qianxi let out a cry of pain, and then spat out two bloody teeth from her mouth.

Looking at Lu Jing's fingers again, they were still safe and sound, without even a tooth mark on them.

"You!" Chief Tongtu didn't know whether he should thank Lu Jing or scold Lu Jing for a moment.

But Lu Jing being able to save Tong Qianxi at least proved that he was indeed a truly capable person.

Chief Tongtu was now desperately seeking medical treatment. It was not a solution for Tong Qianxi to eat like this, and sooner or later she would eat herself to death on this bed. So he was willing to try any method.

"What's your name?" Chief Tongtu asked Lu Jing directly in Chinese after calming down.

"Feng Jiulang." Lu Jing said and pointed to Qi Wenren, "This is my master, An Shi."

Chief Tongtu couldn't help but take a high look at Qi Wenren when he heard this. After all, his disciple was so powerful, his master must not be bad either.

"Two divine doctors, are you confident in curing my daughter's strange illness?"

Chief Tongtu's tone was already a little more polite.

"No," Qi Wenren shook his head, "We haven't even found the cause of the disease, how can we talk about treatment."

Hearing him say this, Chief Tongtu was not disappointed, but secretly nodded in his heart. The person recommended by A Ku Man was indeed reliable, much better than those guys who only knew how to boast before.

Chief Tongtu arranged for the people below to bring in more food, and then said to Qi Wenren and Lu Jing, "Since this is the case, then please find out the cause of my daughter's illness first. If you can make my daughter no longer binge eat like this, I will definitely reward you handsomely.

"At that time, no matter what you want, as long as I have it, you can choose."

"Let's talk about the reward later, let's diagnose the illness first."

Qi Wenren actually didn't have much confidence in his heart. Although he had been in the Sitianjian for more than 20 years, this was also the first time he had investigated a case of strange objects.

At this moment, he was frantically recalling the cases of other people he had seen or heard before in his mind, thinking about how those people did it, and finally sorted out some clues.

After a moment, he took two steps forward and said to Tong Qianxi on the bed, "Miss Qianxi, do you remember when you started binge eating? Before that, have you been to any places, or encountered anything special?"

Tong Qianxi didn't answer, because of Lu Jing, she didn't shout anymore, but she still looked unwell, her eyes were dull and wandering around.

It wasn't until a basin of steamed buns was brought up that Tong Qianxi's spirit suddenly shook, and then she began to bury her head in the basin and gobble it up.
