As she thought this, Su Yan walked over.
"What’s wrong with you?"
No sooner had her voice faded, Hua Qing spat out a mouthful of blood.
Then he collapsed to the ground.
Originally behind him, Su Yan quickly appeared in front of him and caught him.
Hua Qing’s eyes trembled slightly.
Upon opening his eyes, for the first ti, there was a flicker in his dark pupils.
But it was only a fleeting mont.
Then, he closed his eyes again.
Su Yan did not speak, only supporting him as she walked towards the house.
Perhaps it was because he was injured again, but Hua Qing’s arms wrapped around Su Yan.
From behind, it looked as if Hua Qing was embracing Su Yan as they walked.
He had suffered many injuries.
He had collapsed and lost consciousness so many tis it was uncountable.
When his father initially used him as a dicine Man to be fed poison, wasn’t each ti a narrow escape from death?
He had grown accustod to it.
Yet this was the first ti, when he thought he was about to contact the cold ground, that he was suddenly caught by a warm embrace.
He opened his eyes to see her, frowning with a look of concern.
She must be worried about him, right?
That’s what he thought.
This embrace was very familiar.
After he fell off the cliff, actually not long after being fed the Elixir, he had regained consciousness.
But his body was not yet recovered; he was unable to open his eyes or speak.
Every day he could feel soone lying beside him.
In the last two hours of unconsciousness, a warm embrace held him continuously.
Tight and warm.
Now, he fell into that embrace once again.
All those mories with her surged up.
He had never seen such a person before.
Whatever he wanted, she would give.
Without uttering any extra words.
When he wanted her blood, she didn’t even resist.
This year, whenever he wished to drink, she would give it.
At that ti, he thought, was this person’s brain muddled?
But perhaps she knew the ways of the world; after all, if she resisted, he would kill her on the spot.
Useless and an eyesore before him.
Later on, erging from that maze.
He asked, "What is your purpose?"
She, in a dazed state, tiptoed up to kiss him and collapsed into his arms.
Uttering those words that took him by surprise.
That was the first ti he felt at a loss.
Initially, he was indifferent, ready to kill her the mont she resisted.
That notion subtly changed at that mont.
He took her out of the maze and did not kill her.
Even went as far as to grill a fish for her.
He rely wanted to see what else this woman could stir up.
Now, the more he watched, the less he understood.
······
Su Yan placed him onto the bed.
She carefully assessed his condition.
Xiao Hua’s voice rang in her mind,
"Host, he has cultivated too hastily, causing his qi and blood to surge. You can go out and buy so qi-reducing and nourishing dicine for him."
Upon hearing this, Su Yan.
Didn’t speak again.
She reached out to cover him properly with the quilt.
She whispered in his ear,
"I’ll be back soon."
After saying that, she hurried out.
Lying on the bed, Hua Qing closed his eyes.
He started to circulate his Spiritual Power, performing the small cycle to resolve the internal injuries caused by the surging of qi and blood.
An hour later.
He opened his eyes.
Sat up.
He looked toward the door, which remained unentered for a long ti.
An hour had passed, and she had not yet returned.
What was she doing?
Had she run away?
Or... he lifted his gaze and smiled.
Or had she gone to find the people of the Hua Family to exchange for those ten thousand gold leaves?
A notion flitted through Hua Qing’s mind.
A dark, ominous aura radiated from his entire being.
Rising from the bed, he slowly started walking outside.
