Chapter 3559: 4.1159 Misplaced Affection
With her reputation as a Divine Alchemist, it was indeed enough to make a large number of cultivators flock to her. It's no wonder she acted so fearlessly.
She seemed intelligent, but her actions were quite out of line.
Fu San shook his head again. "Master Dan Shi, His Highness hopes that if you have time, you could assist the people in the commoner's area."
"A while ago, they were starving. Please help them examine any gastrointestinal issues and check if they have any injuries."
"Ah, good, good," Dan Yi Su nodded gently, agreeing. "Please inform His Highness, Young Master Fu San, that His Highness can rest assured. Su Su will spare no effort to assist him."
Fu San didn't correct her words. He simply nodded faintly and returned to the tent.
Anyway, it was enough to send her far away. As for giving medical consultations, that was up to her. If she was willing, she could help the army doctors. If not, it didn't matter; the army had enough alchemists and physicians.
"Miss, how can you be so agreeable?" If it weren't for the precious soup in her hand, Meilan, the young maid beside Dan Yi Su, would have truly wanted to smash the bowl.
Her young mistress had put in so much effort, personally preparing the soup, yet His Highness the Crown Prince showed no appreciation.
It was difficult for her mistress to be so good-natured and not get angry at all, even agreeing to Young Master Fu San's words and going to examine those dirty common folk?
What a joke!
Meilan, accompanying Dan Yi Su to the commoner's resting area, had a face full of disdain.
This commoner's resting area was still a short distance from the main army's encampment.
Before His Highness the Crown Prince arrived, these remaining commoners had made use of local materials in this barren sand, building low earthen walls around themselves with rocks and sand.
The small earthen walls barely reached the women's waists. People crouching behind the sand walls could at least get some shelter from the wind and sand.
As for defending against corpse puppets, that was out of the question.
Some also piled up a few earth caves behind the small earthen walls, allowing children and frail women to barely take shelter.
The environment was harsh, food was scarce, and these people, having endured so many days of intense fighting, were already utterly exhausted.
If His Highness the Crown Prince hadn't led the large army to arrive and temporarily fend off waves of corpse puppets in the outer perimeter, who knows, the remaining people might have long since become food for the corpse puppets.
"Ew, so dirty." Meilan, passing by a small child sitting outside the sand wall, staring blankly at her, vigorously waved her hands twice and covered her nose with a look of disgust.
The woman beside the child quickly hugged her child, looking at them with wary eyes.
Dan Yi Su, however, seemed not to mind the dirt. She squatted down, not caring that her mint green long dress dragged on the ground and became dusty with barren sand.
"Is your child a bit feverish? I observe his complexion seems a bit off. Give me his hand for a moment." Dan Yi Su smiled gently.
That smile somewhat eased the woman holding the child's vigilance, and she extended the child's hand towards Dan Yi Su.
After taking the child's pulse, Dan Yi Su smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. Have the child take this Hot-Cold Pill, and he'll be fine in a while."
The woman took the pill, half-believing, half-doubting, and watched the pretty woman leave.
Dan Yi Su, leading the pouting and complaining Meilan, toured the commoner's area, specifically choosing two or three children to examine, and then led Meilan back to her own tent.
