The holy moonlight, chilly and pouring down, illuminates the face clearly like silver.
After swimming and bathing in the lake, Wufu feels revived. This is her first truly enjoyable bath since entering the jungle days ago.
"Take this dicine first." Ah Jiu hands her a specially made pill, babbling, "Didn’t I say you could just wipe yourself down a bit? Why did you jump straight into the water? It’s not even April yet, the water is really cold."
"Ah Jiu, has anyone ever said you’re like a nagging old lady?" Wufu laughs cheerfully.
Ah Jiu’s hand freezes, his eyes squint slightly, "Are you complaining that I’m being verbose?"
Wufu replies, "I really thought you were my mother possessing you!"
"If your mother knew you were mingling among so many n and jumping into the lake to bathe in the middle of the night, she’d probably faint from anger. A young lady like you should take better care of herself." Ah Jiu snickers.
Wufu sighs, "You’re wrong; I fear she may have forgotten she even has a daughter like now!"
Ah Jiu stays silent for a mont, seeing her face darken, says, "Once we leave the Cloud Realm, shall we set off back ho?"
"Hmm."
Ah Jiu takes out the injury dicine but hesitates.
Her injury is on her shoulder; to apply the dicine, she must remove the outer clothing, but the two aren’t married yet. Is it really okay to be so unreserved?
"What’s wrong?" Wufu asks, seeing his conflicted expression.
Ah Jiu looks at her shoulder, Wufu follows his gaze, loosens her clothing to reveal her smooth shoulder, which is supposed to be flawless but now appears grueso, as if torn open by sothing.
Ah Jiu’s eyes turn icy, glancing angrily in one direction.
Damned creature!
"Hurry up and apply the dicine." Wufu tugs at his sleeve.
Ah Jiu suppresses his anger, giving her a disgruntled look.
His actions are ticulous, using strong alcohol to clean the wound, applying the specially made golden sore dicine, bandaging, all done without any mistakes.
"The arm." He asks her to roll up her sleeve.
Wufu is surprised, rolls up her sleeve, revealing a wound scratched by a tree branch, says, "Isn’t this unnecessary?"
"You’re a young lady." Ah Jiu says, "What kind of lady is like you? Uncaring about scars, even if they just scratch a little trace with a nail, they’d cry over it and worry about getting a scar."
"That’s ordinary ladies, but I am from class two!" Wufu sticks out her tongue, "Could it be that since I look like this, Ah Jiu doesn’t like anymore?"
"I dislike you not caring about yourself." Ah Jiu looks at her and says, "I’d be distressed."
Alright, this sudden sweet talk really feels a bit unfamiliar.
Wufu touches her nose with an awkward smile, dressed properly again, then asks him, "The dicine on my face hasn’t co off, right?"
The makeup on her face is painted with special dicine ointnt prepared by Bai Xiaobai and Jadeite, lasting for about ten days, not coming off when encountering water.
"It’s fine." Ah Jiu checks and says, "However, Master Gui seems to be a bit suspicious."
Wufu scoffs, "You brought that suspicion along, always being so tense."
"Who told you to be so cheeky." You’re so radiant, what if soone sees you and gets interested?
This person, seriously made of sugar?
Wufu rolls her eyes, whistles into the forest, and waves her hand.
Ah Jiu looks at her displeased.
"Alright, you go wash up too, don’t scare the child." Wufu knows that Wolf Child is sowhat afraid of Ah Jiu.
Ah Jiu glances at the forest with warning and goes into the lake upon Wufu’s urging.
