Chapter 6 - When a Fanfic Protagonist Transmigrated into the Original Novel

Yi Xichen and Lu Ziyao were helpless. If it was only his body that had been poisoned, the Awaken Mind pill should be enough to deal with it but Zhangsun Zijun didn't show any signs of improvement.

"Go to Elder Yao," Lu Ziyao suggested. "He is Medicine Hall's elder and your master. Maybe he will know how to fix this."

It's not that Yi Xichen hadn't thought about that. It's just that Zhangsun Zijun's condition was too weird. He thought that he and Yi Xichen … had children. This was too embarra.s.sing so Yi Xichen wanted to solve this problem on his own in order to not let more people know about it. Unfortunately, now all they could do was go to Yao Budu.

Zhangsun Zijun expressed his willingness to meet Yao Budu. Now it was obvious that the person who had a problem was him Yao Budu was the elder that he trusted the most. He hoped to quickly find out the crux of the matter.

Just after they left Zhangsun Zijun's room, Lu Ziyao's command token shook, indicating that the Sword Refining Hall elder was summoning him. Thus he could no longer accompany Zhangsun Zijun and Yi Xichen. The two did not mind and after he left they went to the Medicine Forest.

Along the way Yi Xichen instructed Zhangsun Zijun: "When we see Master, tell him what ails you, including all the strange things that you feel. Master is very knowledgeable. Maybe we can find out what happened to you."

Zhangsun Zijun kept silent.

"-But you are absolutely not allowed to talk about any children!" Yi Xichen threatened him, his gaze like that of an angry tiger. "If you dare to talk nonsense, I will… I'll let the Golden Toad pee on your pillow!"

Zhangsun Zijun couldn't help but say: "Are you really not pregnant?" In his memory, in the year Bingchen, Yi Xichen got pregnant with their first child.

The expression on Yi Xichen's face was thunderous: "Pregnant my ***! Remember! You absolutely can't mention it!"

As soon as they walked into the garden full of exotic flowers and plants, a stone pestle flew straight towards Yi Xichen's forehead and an energetic voice shouted, "Yi Xichen! Did you steal my medicinal plants again?!"

Yi Xichen immediately dodged but someone was faster than him. The stone pestle was stopped in midair.

Zhangsun Zijun caught the hidden weapon and bowed respectfully to the middle-aged man standing in the courtyard: "Master."

This person was Elder Yao Budu of the Medicine Hall, Zhangsun Zijun and Yi Xichen's master. He was also the person that Zhangsun Zijun respected the most.

Yi Xichen peered out from behind Zhangsun Zijun. He smiled and said in a conciliatory way: "Master, don't be upset. Please listen to me…"

Yao Budu was angry and glared at him. "Zijun, get out of my way. Today I must teach this little rabbit a lesson."

Zhangsun Zijun did not move. Even if the other person was his master, he wouldn't allow anyone except him to harm a hair on Yi Xichen's head.

"Master, Zijun has a strange disease. I stole some herbs to give him medicine but I couldn't cure him. I can only ask Master for help!" Yi Xichen said in a single breath.

Yao Budu was stunned and immediately calmed down: "Is Zijun sick?"

Yi Xichen quickly pushed Zhangsun Zijun forward.

Yao Budu quickly walked in front of Zhangsun Zijun. He looked at his face then grabbed his hand to checked his pulse. However, his face looked fine and his pulse was smooth. There seemed to be no problem.

"Last night I took Zijun with me to the miasma forest…" Yi Xichen quietly took a step back and moved away from the range of Yao Budu's attack. "Zijun may have inhaled some miasma, so he suffers from …. Ahem, hallucinations."

"Miasma forest?" Yao Budu stretched out a hand and wanted to give the other person a whack on the head but he hid himself away too fast. "So my Breath Cleansing Pills were also stolen by you, you little brat?!"

Zhangsun Zijun stepped in front of him to block his way. Yao Budu really wanted to grab that uppity disciple of his, who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth,
