It seems this place might have some issues!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without much thought, after asking for the exact location of the Mountain God Temple, Ginsengfruit left a message for Yun Ran and headed directly to the temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Avoiding the people on the road, Ginsengfruit soon reached the Mountain God Temple, perhaps because it was still early, there were quite a few people here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After carefully observing, Ginsengfruit found the people here, anyone who passed by him, appeared normal, without any Death Energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Ginsengfruit did not feel this was all there was to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately mimicked others who came to worship the mountain god, going through all the steps one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After completing a round, Ginsengfruit still didn’t find anything amiss, just when he started to doubt whether he had guessed wrongly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, someone ahead shouted that someone had fainted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ginsengfruit’s reaction was faster than his thoughts, quickly stepping past the crowd to squeeze towards the fainted person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A middle-aged man, with an ashen face, was lying on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people beside him hurriedly shouted for those around to give him some space, ensuring he had enough air, advising them not to crowd too close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In others’ eyes, it was simply a case of this middle-aged man fainting from illness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, this scene in Ginsengfruit’s eyes revealed that the man was entangled by Death Energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, it had only just enveloped him, so the man merely fainted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His bodily functions hadn’t been damaged yet; clearing away the Death Energy would restore his health.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ginsengfruit’s eyes flickered, his earlier suspicion seemed correct, there was indeed a problem near the Mountain God Temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, people were talking bidirectionally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened, wasn’t he fine earlier, nowadays people’s health really isn’t great!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His face is so pale, it looks as if he has a serious illness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Probably not, someone with a serious illness wouldn’t be this robust, maybe he’s just exhausted.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Onlookers speculated about what was going on with this person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, someone fetched a doctor from nearby to examine him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Make way, everyone make way, the doctor’s here!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, those gathered around moved aside with understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the previous discussions quieted down, everyone fixated on the unfolding scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the doctor moved his hand away after taking the pulse, the once quiet crowd suddenly started asking questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Doctor, what’s wrong with him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing serious, just over-exhaustion; his blood circulation’s a bit sluggish, rest properly at home and it will be fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, the doctor fetched silver needles from his medical box, and after a few needle applications, the man woke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ginsengfruit’s gaze remained on the middle-aged man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the man opened his eyes, the dazed expression he showed was naturally observed by Ginsengfruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing people around him say he fainted from exhaustion, the middle-aged man displayed a somewhat skeptical expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evidently, he found the reason for fainting somewhat ridiculous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, he couldn’t smile anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he clearly felt his body, at that moment, was extremely weary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if he had been working continuously for days, his whole body felt drained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing even speaking was laborious, the middle-aged man’s eyes instantly revealed a hint of panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The unknown is the most terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the middle-aged man was helped to sit on nearby steps, the surrounding spectators finally dispersed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ginsengfruit then approached, curiously observing the middle-aged man and his companions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young friend, what are you looking at?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle, I’m an apprentice at the medical clinic; when I saw you faint earlier, I wanted to check on you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Ginsengfruit appeared as a young man; compared to his earlier childhood appearance, he was more trustworthy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Ginsengfruit awkwardly scratched his head, appearing enthusiastic yet modest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, the middle-aged man and his companions’ impression of Ginsengfruit improved significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one dislikes a person who’s kind towards them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, young friend; my friend’s fine now, we’ll rest here for a while and then head down the mountain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Mountain God Temple was located atop a moderately-sized mountain, and they were at the midsection now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having received thanks, Ginsengfruit held his breath, soon his face flushed red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression mirrored a typical youth embarrassed by praise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Ginsengfruit seemed to recall something and quickly rummaged in his pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon he retrieved a bottle, saying with delight: \"I almost forgot, I have these pills with me; it’s my master’s secret recipe, good for strengthening and replenishing Primordial Energy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then poured out a milk-white pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And eagerly offered it to the middle-aged man’s mouth: \"Overexertion, taking this pill is beneficial.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man’s friend hesitated; one should be cautious with medicine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then he saw Ginsengfruit swallow a pill himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even healthy people benefit from these; it’s all made from tonic herbs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, neither the middle-aged man nor his companions had doubts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man opened his mouth and swallowed the pill Ginsengfruit offered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pill had a strong medicinal aroma, but wasn’t unpleasant, even leaving a mysterious fragrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, it dissolved easily, and the previously exhausted middle-aged man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly felt a warmth spread throughout his body, alleviating much of the fatigue and occasional coldness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the middle-aged man’s complexion visibly become more ruddy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His companion’s face also showed astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps not expecting that such a tiny pill could have such an effect; it was too incredible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ginsengfruit received two round, glistening, slightly admiring gazes in thanks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Ginsengfruit accepted them calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he gave the middle-aged man wasn’t merely a pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had, with a hand movement earlier, extracted the Death Energy eroding the man’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>",947,"2026-06-06T11:49:09.270Z",1,"novelbin.me","f293184d80d198754e48666586312056072efa448b555600f8ab6df983e8abea","cannon-fodder-heiress-turns-the-tables-by-fortun-chapter-997","cannon-fodder-heiress-turns-the-tables-by-fortun-chapter-995",1219,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcannon-fodder-heiress-turns-the-tables-by-fortun-cover.jpg"]
