Qiao Xueying spat, "Who cares about you? I only reminded you because of Miss Chu. I'm not feeling well, I can't talk to you anymore, I'm going to rest."

After she finished speaking, she turned over, facing away from him, and stopped talking, as if she had fallen asleep.

At this moment, Ji Xiaoxi tugged at Zu An's sleeve and whispered, "Miss Qiao is seriously injured. Resting more will help her recover. Let's not disturb her."

Zu An chuckled to himself. This little girl was always so kind, always thinking the best of people. Qiao Xueying was clearly just pretending to be asleep.

“Alright, let’s go over there and talk, so as not to disturb her rest.” Zu’an happened to have something he wanted to say to her.

Hearing the footsteps of the two moving away, Qiao Xueying, who was pretending to be asleep with her eyes closed, gritted her teeth inwardly: What exactly does this guy want to say that he has to do behind my back?

Anger level from Qiao Xueying +233!

Seeing the anger level in the background, Zuan couldn't help but chuckle.

"Brother Zu, what are you laughing at?" Ji Xiaoxi looked at him with her big, bright eyes.

“It’s nothing,” Zu’an immediately corrected. “Why are you calling me Brother Zu again? From now on, call me A-Zu.”

"Oh~" Ji Xiaoxi didn't understand why he was so fixated on this title.

"Thank you for the clothes just now." Looking at the girl in front of him, who looked like a white flower, Zu An couldn't bring himself to be disrespectful. "I made you misunderstand earlier. How about I go and explain to them later?"

“It’s alright, the innocent will clear themselves,” Ji Xiaoxi shook her head, her eyes clear as water, without a trace of impurity. “By the way, did you find the Vanishing Lotus?”

Zuan was taken aback: "How did you know?"

Ji Xiaoxi blushed slightly and lowered her head, somewhat embarrassed: "When I took your pulse and examined your body just now, I found that not only had your injuries healed, but even... even below your Qi Sea, you are no different from a normal person."

Actually, she had just discovered that the pulse in that area of ​​the other person's body was much steady and strong than that of an average person, but how could a young girl like her say that?

Zuan said, "I did find the Vanishing Lotus, and I have to thank your father's Unsealing Pill for that."

He didn't mention that the Void Lotus had been eaten by Chu Chuyan, otherwise it would have been difficult to explain to her how to unseal it, since she was skilled in medicine and it would be hard to hide it with a common excuse. However, he had promised Mi Li that he couldn't let the matter of the Primordial Chaos Scripture be leaked.

"I didn't expect the Unsealing Pill to actually work. I was worried there would be problems." Ji Xiaoxi patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

Zuan: "???"

Something about this reaction feels off.

Ji Xiaoxi was a little embarrassed and explained in a low voice, "My father had never made an unsealing pill before. This prescription was just deduced by him from some ancient medical books. Whether it would succeed or not, he was only fifty percent sure. I didn't tell you so that you wouldn't worry."

Originally, she was unwilling to lie, believing that doctors should tell patients the truth, but her father told her that sometimes comfort therapy is also important, and sometimes it can even have a miraculous effect.

She thought about it and agreed, so she didn't say anything until he recovered.

Zuan: "..."

Ji Dengtu is such a jerk!

Fortunately, I was blessed with good fortune and had a miraculous encounter this time. Otherwise, if I had eaten the Illusionary Lotus and still couldn't recover, I would have been heartbroken and might have even committed suicide.

We absolutely have to settle this score with him!

However, thinking of Ji Dengtu's unfathomable strength, he lost his nerve and decided to give up and find another way to get back at him later.

"By the way, Xiaoxi, how's your foot?" Zu'an remembered that Bai Susu had mentioned that she had twisted her ankle while running desperately to get help. Touched, he reached out and said, "Do you want me to rub it for you?"

"It's nothing, I'm almost fully recovered." Ji Xiaoxi blushed slightly, subconsciously pulling her legs back while subtly tugging at her skirt.

Previously, she wasn't too bothered by physical contact with him because he wasn't considered a real man, but now that he's recovered, her girlish reserve makes her shy.

Zuan was taken aback and realized that he had been presumptuous. He couldn't bring himself to tease this kind and adorable girl. So he straightened his expression and sighed, "Xiao Xi, because of me, your training in the secret realm was basically wasted, and you didn't gain anything. I'm really sorry."

“No, I feel very fulfilled,” Ji Xiaoxi said with a hint of excitement. “I have never encountered anything so dangerous and amazing in all these years. For me, the experience in the valley is more useful than any other training.”

"As for the rare treasures in the secret realm, they are meaningless to me. My father has many spiritual herbs, and I don't lack them."

Zuan: "..."

A rich, beautiful, and successful woman is indeed a rich, beautiful, and successful woman; her confidence in speaking is different from that of ordinary people.

However, even though she said that, Zu'an still felt bad and was thinking of finding something to make it up to her.

Suddenly, an idea struck him. He took out a spirit stone that emitted a blood-red light from his pocket and placed it in her hand: "This is for you."

Previously in the underground palace, Mi Li lay in a crystal coffin, dressed in the empress's robes, with many precious gems inlaid on her phoenix crown and belt.

Later, although her clothes decayed, the spirit stones remained intact. He secretly picked them up and kept them while Mi Li was changing clothes.

The largest one was right in the center of her phoenix crown. Zu An thought this was probably very important to Mi Li, so he didn't take it out and waited to make a new hat for her later. The one he took out this time was the second largest one, the one inlaid on her belt.
