The substitute saw Zi Di, he lay on the ground, wanting to speak but unable to. His throat and tongue were so swollen that it made it hard for him to articulate, leaving him only able to give the girl a pained smile.
Zi Di's mind raced with thoughts as she immediately explained to herself, "Lord, the Fire Poison has flared up again, and the previous potions no longer work. I am currently mixing a new potion, I can definitely succeed!"
"Believe in me, Lord, you absolutely cannot give up! I will definitely be able to save you!"
The substitute nodded, but even that minimal action caused him to fall into a coma once more.
Zi Di was stunned on the spot. Not again? He fainted?
She hurriedly checked the substitute's condition and found it to be extremely poor. Compared to his previous state of death, he had barely a breath left, much like the final flash of vitality before a person's death.
