With Pei Mianman's intelligence, she naturally wouldn't believe that Zu An, given his personality, would bring his drunk friend back and then have him stay overnight.

Zuan's expression froze, and he had no choice but to say, "I'm also here to look for something."

Pei Mianman pressed further, "What are you looking for?"

As Zuan wrapped his clothes around himself, he shook his head: "There are too many things involved behind the scenes, I can't tell you."

Pei Mianman snorted: "I also have reasons I can't tell you."

Zuan smiled slightly: "Let's not talk about those unhappy things, let's talk about something happy, like taking off our clothes..."

Pei Mianman was startled and quickly took a few steps back: "What do you want to do?"

Zuan said, "Don't misunderstand, that's not what I meant. It's just that you're soaking wet and injured, and wearing wet clothes will make you more susceptible to illness."

“That’s easy.” Pei Mianman was about to ignite the black flames to dry her clothes when she suddenly realized that using elemental power at this moment would alert the Wei family’s guards.

Moreover, given her severe injuries, it would be difficult for her to effectively use her black flames to dry the clothes at this moment.

“You just took a hit from that guy, so you definitely can’t run out now. You should stay here and heal your wounds.” Zuan spread out the blanket next to him. “After you take off your clothes, go to bed. I won’t peek.”

"I doubt you have the guts, otherwise I would have told Chu Yan." Pei Mianman snorted, then suddenly realized, "How did you know I was attacked by that person?"

Zuan smiled wryly and said, "I was there at the time, otherwise it would have been such a coincidence that I saved you."

Pei Mianman looked surprised: "You weren't discovered."

Zuan smiled slightly: "It's probably because I have good character."

Pei Mianman couldn't understand why she was discovered first when her cultivation was clearly higher than his. She just thought it was bad luck and that she had taken the blame for him: "The cultivation of the person in that room was too terrifying. He almost killed me on the spot with just one strike from so far away."

You should know that she has never been so embarrassed since she mastered her skills.

That terrifying attack shattered her protective energy almost instantly.

"So you should heal your wounds quickly. I'll help you dry your clothes while I'm at it." Zu An didn't offer to help her heal her wounds. This world is different from martial arts novels. Ordinary vital energy can't automatically have healing functions like internal energy. Even if he wanted to help, he wouldn't know where to start.

Of course, if it were the closest contact combined with the "Primordial Chaos Scripture," he could help heal the wounds, but if he brought it up at this time, Pei Mianman would only think he had ulterior motives.

"How do you dry things here? Do you perhaps know fire-based techniques?" Pei Mianman asked curiously.

“Who said you need fire magic to dry your clothes?” Zuan said confidently.

Pei Mianman hesitated for a moment, then said, "Then turn around."

She knew that wearing wet clothes all the time wasn't a good solution.

If it were any other man making such a request to her, she wouldn't accept it even if she was uncomfortable wearing wet clothes, but if it were Zu'an, it wouldn't be impossible for her to accept it.

The relationship between the two was strange, somewhere between friends and enemies, yet in some ways more reliable than anyone else.

After Zu An turned around, Pei Mianman took off her wet clothes, revealing her flawless body: "You're not allowed to peek!"

"Don't worry, if I really wanted to watch, I would watch openly and honestly. Why would I peek?" Zu'an said helplessly.

Pei Mianman blushed slightly. This guy always spoke so shamelessly, but he was much more interesting than the upright gentlemen she had met before.

She quickly crawled into bed and then said, "I'm ready."

Zuan then turned around and found that she was completely covered up, and couldn't help but chuckle: "Are you really afraid that I will see you?"

Pei Mianman snorted: "Haven't you seen me enough already?"

These words stirred something within both of them.

Pei Mianman looked somewhat uneasy and coughed twice: "By the way, bring me the medicine from my clothes."

Zuan then pulled a bottle of healing medicine from his damp clothes and handed it to the bedside.

I thought I should prepare some of these healing medicines myself, but unfortunately I haven't gotten a single red bottle from Brother Chun's Blessing during this period.

Then I can only ask Ji Dengtu for some medicine to heal my wounds. But when I think about how I just made Ji Xiaoxi like that, if he finds out, he'll be lucky if he doesn't skin me alive. How can I possibly ask him for medicine?

Just then, Pei Mianman reached out to take it, but suddenly remembered that she was not wearing any clothes, so she quickly pulled her arm back.

"I'm a little...uncomfortable, could you...please pour out the medicine and feed it to me?" Pei Mianman said somewhat embarrassedly.

Zuan was taken aback for a moment, but quickly realized: "No problem."

He poured a pill into his palm. Although he couldn't recognize what kind of medicine it was, it smelled fragrant and must be a high-quality wound medicine.

He held Pei Mianman with one hand and fed her with the other.

Pei Mianman lowered her head slightly and swallowed the medicine in his palm.

The brief touch of lips kissing the palm, and the warmth of the tongue, made Zu An's heart skip a beat.

My gaze involuntarily fell to the side. It turned out that with Pei Mianman's movement, a section of the blanket had slipped down slightly, revealing a patch of fair skin around her shoulders.

"Should I pull it down a little more so you can see?" At that moment, the beautiful woman's voice, which sounded like a half-smile, rang in my ears.

Zu An subconsciously replied, "If you really drag me down, I definitely won't mind."

"Pull your head in the sand, my foot!" Pei Mianman didn't expect this guy to be so shameless. She spat and hurriedly pulled the quilt up, pushing him away. "Get out of the way and help me hang up the clothes. If they don't dry, I'll just wear yours, hmph!"
