His Highness the Crown Prince Always Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 47: Just Repay me with You, Yourself

Feng Chen leaned his back gently against the tree trunk, raised his head and looked at the full moon hanging in the sky with hazy eyes.

“Even the most powerful Healing-class Spiritual Plant Masters in the Central Continent are powerless against such poison. I don’t know where you got the confidence to think you can get rid of all the poison in my body.”

It wasn’t that he couldn’t completely trust Yu Qing Qian, he knew the poison in his heart best, and it was difficult to cure in this life.

And she was just a new Healing-class Spiritual Plant Master. Even if she had special talents, it would never be easy to detoxify.

Yu Qing Qian didn’t care about the doubt coming from Feng Chen’s lips. This was the reaction that a normal person should have.

If Feng Chen believed without any doubt that she could cure him of the poison, then she would instead wonder if his brain was broken.

“Human effort is the decisive factor. How would you know it doesn’t work if you don’t give it a try?” Yu Qing Qian knew that no matter how many guarantees and promises she made, they were just words. She always preferred to prove it with her actions, “The time needed to detoxify you shouldn’t exceed six years at most. It depends on whether you’re willing to try or not.”

The poison on Feng Chen was so rare and vicious that her wood-class healing variant ability may need to breakthrough to level 3 to be able to clear it all.

“Of course I want to try. I will never give up as long as I have any chances.” Feng Chen retracted his gaze and looked at Yu Qing Qian, his eyes clear and serious, “Then I’ll trouble you!”

He had a very cold temperament and didn’t like to get close to anyone. But every time he met Yu Qing Qian, she not only had the upper hand verbally, but even teased him. Apart from being helpless and surprised, he didn’t feel the slightest anger nor disgust.

Maybe it was because when he was young, during the year when he was most lost and in despair, she forced her way into his life with a smile; maybe it was because every time he interacted with her, he felt relaxed and at ease, and he always had a bit more of his rare patience and tolerance to offer to her.

“You’re welcome.” Yu Qing Qian chuckled and narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, “After all, I also have selfish motives for detoxifying you.”

The biggest reason and purpose for her approaching Feng Chen was to take advantage of the poison in his body. She didn’t need to hide it nor use the kindness of a doctor as an excuse.

Having wandered during the apocalypse for so long, in her world, she preferred white to be white, and black to be black.

Feng Chen liked this about Yu Qing Qian—not hypocritical nor pretentious, was straightforward and frank. Even when they were children and she was pestering him, her reasons were always so sufficient.

If she was really so selfless and wanted to detoxify him, then he really didn’t dare to try and believe it.

“As long as the poison in my body can be eliminated, I owe you my life no matter what.” He looked at her calmly and said.

“Sure! When the time comes, just repay the life-saving grace with you, yourself.” Yu Qing Qian stretched out her hand to wrap a strand of his hair around her fingertips and said with a slight smile in her eyes: “I like scenic beauties like you the most, like the clear moon after rain.”

While Feng Chen was still attractive and useful to her, she wouldn’t let him go easily.

Feng Chen knew that Yu Qing Qian would always show this kind of frivolous side in front of him, and he didn’t take her jokes too seriously either.

The number of women who admired him were as excessively numerous as carps crossing a river¹, and he was very familiar with such fiery eyes. However, he couldn’t catch any adoration in Yu Qing Qian’s eyes, only teasing and an unspeakable complexity, which seemed like possession and plundering, or simply interest.

He always knew that the most attractive thing about him to her was the poison in his body.

He smiled and didn’t answer, but instead asked: “How are you going to get rid of the poison for me now?”

This was also something he was a little curious about.
