Monster hunti...
Chapter 46 Do you want me to use my Wind Riding Technique to take you?
Blackbeard, mindful of Mei Liangyu's injuries, ensured the carriage traveled smoothly, striving for a ride without the slightest bump.
Yu Sui frowned, her gaze sweeping back and forth over Mei Liangyu's body. When her eyes fell on the rolled-up flesh and saw the stark white bones beneath the blood and flesh, she raised her hand to cover her eyes as if she couldn't bear it.
Mei Liangyu didn't want to speak, but seeing her like this, she couldn't help but say, "If you're scared, close your eyes and don't look."
After all, his injuries were indeed quite bloody and horrifying.
"Senior brother, you won't die, will you?" Yu Sui asked again, filled with anxiety.
Mei Liangyu chuckled upon hearing this, but he couldn't laugh at the moment, so he shut his mouth and remained calm, wanting to see how Yu Sui would react.
Yu Sui also noticed that Mei Liangyu's Five Elements Qi was in disarray, just like Li Jinshuang before her. Blinking her eyes or opening her mouth caused her excruciating pain. Even if she did nothing, the Five Elements Qi would still rampage through her body, and the feeling was almost like being slowly sliced to death.
Not to mention that he was already seriously injured.
If the hands, which were attacked by the Judgment Technique and subjected to slow, slicing, are not treated in time, it is unknown whether they will be ruined.
Sitting in front of such a bloodied person is indeed visually stimulating.
Yu Sui peeked at Mei Liangyu through her fingers: "Senior brother, I've been studying medicine these past few days. Shall I give you some simple treatment?"
Mei Liangyu did not reply; his cold, dark eyes closed slightly, as if in tacit consent.
"Who could possibly injure you like this, Senior Brother? Why didn't you call Master for help?" Yu Sui muttered to himself.
Mei Liangyu could hear the rustling of clothes she was rummaging through in the carriage, and the clear, melodious clinking of various gold hairpins and jade pieces inside the jewelry box as it shook, which sounded like the sound of money to him.
The worried look in Yu Sui's eyes when she looked at him easily came to mind, the image was clear.
Having killed the person he wanted to kill, Mei Liangyu calmed down after the battle, his mind clear and his composure impeccable.
Mei Liangyu did not believe that Yu Sui's appearance was also part of the enemy's plan. After all, he was his master's disciple. Although his master would not interfere too much in his disciples' private lives and personal decisions, he would not allow fellow disciples to kill each other.
Yu Sui posed no threat. Mei Liangyu had just confirmed this when she sensed someone approaching. The metallic scent of blood in her nostrils was suddenly replaced by a delicate fragrance. The fragrance was light and soft, reminiscent of sweet peaches and elegant jasmine—a scent Mei Liangyu had never smelled before, the gentle and tender aroma of a young woman.
Because Mei Liangyu had his eyes closed and couldn't see, his sense of smell became more sensitive, and the domineering scent that invaded his nostrils caused his brain to give the most straightforward reaction and prediction.
The sudden approach of others made Mei Liangyu subconsciously tense up. Just as he was about to be on guard, he heard Yu Sui's voice close at hand: "Senior brother, your clothes are all torn. Here's one for you to wear temporarily. It'll help you cover up when you get back to the academy."
clothing?
Mei Liangyu's brow twitched slightly. Thinking Yu Sui had given her the new dress she'd bought that day, she opened her eyes and looked down.
What came into view was the woman's snow-white hand. Yu Sui grabbed the corner of his coat and gently pulled it onto his shoulder.
It wasn't the girl's dress that Mei Liangyu had imagined, but a brand-new outer garment for a man. The fine cloud-embroidered fabric was decorated with dark gold bamboo leaf patterns, making the long robe look extremely noble and elegant. It was also perfect for wearing as summer approached. The fabric felt cool and smooth to the touch, and not stuffy at all.
"You bought it?" Mei Liangyu asked casually.
“Yes!” Yu Sui nodded. “I ordered this batch of new fabric a few days ago. During the day, I asked Brother Gu to come with me so I could try on the clothes. But Brother Gu said he had something very important to do at night and couldn’t accompany me, so I had to go shopping in the outer city by myself and buy these things.”
Yu Sui sighed softly, "Luckily, I still picked out a few clothes for Brother Gu tonight, and they'll come in handy now."
Mei Liangyu was at a loss for words. The clothes his junior sister had picked out for her childhood sweetheart were now being worn by him first. He felt both annoyed and uncomfortable, yet not annoyed, he felt like ants were crawling all over him, making him unbearably itchy.
He didn't want to get angry, but he held back for a moment before finally saying it. He stared at Yu Sui with a forced smile and said, "Junior sister, didn't you say you wouldn't spend money on men?"
Yu Suileng replied honestly, "These were spent from the Prince's mansion."
Mei Liangyu thought to himself, "What's different about this?"
Isn't the money in the Prince's mansion your money too?
Before he could say anything more, there was a tearing sound, and Yu Sui grabbed another brand-new men's coat and ripped it to shreds.
Mei Liangyu: "..."
The subtle displeasure that had been nagging at him also snapped as Yu Sui tore her clothes.
"What are you doing?" Mei Liangyu wanted to laugh but held it in.
Yu Sui tore at the clothes in her hands and said softly, "I don't have a handkerchief or anything else to stop your bleeding, so I had to tear these newly bought clothes."
As if she could see through the smile in Mei Liangyu's eyes, she added, "I don't want to tear my new dress; I still want to wear it."
So I tore up the clothes I bought for Gu Gan, since she doesn't wear them anyway.
Mei Liangyu sat lazily against the wall, not saying a word. His usually cold black eyes now unconsciously held a hint of a smile as he looked at her.
“These are all excellent fabrics, they won’t irritate your skin.” Yu Sui gently approached Mei Liangyu with the torn pieces of clothing, dabbing them with the blood on his face.
Just as Mei Liangyu was about to open his mouth, Yu Sui stepped in front of him, pressed his index finger to his red lips, and whispered, "Senior brother, I think you are the same as Li Jinshuang last time, with your five elements in disarray. You must be in a lot of pain right now, so it's best not to speak."
He was too late to stop Yu Sui from getting closer.
Yu Sui gently wiped the blood from his face, her wrist occasionally brushing against his skin, and Mei Liangyu could clearly feel the soft, warm touch against him.
The two were closer than ever before.
When skin touches, you can feel each other's warmth, a soft touch that's fleeting, yet occasionally it gently slides down.
Mei Liangyu made no attempt to hide her feelings, speaking frankly and openly. With a slight tremor of her eyelashes, her gaze followed Yu Sui closely, as if scrutinizing her expression. However, Yu Sui remained focused throughout, and when she saw the deep, bone-revealing wounds, she would frown in surprise.
As Yu Sui wiped her clothes, specks of blood inevitably appeared on her sleeves, blooming like blood-red plum blossoms on her light blue sleeves.
When neither of them spoke, the only sound inside the carriage was the rustling of their clothes against each other, the soft, whispering sounds occasionally striking their hearts and stirring up subtle waves of emotion.
"Senior brother," Yu Sui looked up at him and asked, "Do you want me to say something to distract you?"
Mei Liangyu looked down at her: "Why are you trying to distract me?"
"I'm afraid you'll feel pain." Yu Sui wiped the blood from his neck.
Mei Liangyu said calmly, "It doesn't hurt."
Since choosing to study medicine, Mei Liangyu has always treated her injuries on her own, never letting outsiders touch her. Even when seriously injured, she would not ask her friends for help when she went to the medical school.
Some things are tolerable if you do them yourself, but it's much harder to tolerate if someone else does them.
Yu Sui was about to bandage Mei Liangyu's hand when Mei Liangyu dodged it. Yu Sui looked up in confusion and saw Mei Liangyu say without changing his expression, "I'm afraid of the pain."
I can tolerate other things, but bandaging these badly injured hands of yours is bound to hurt, even if it doesn't hurt.
Yu Sui: "..."
Seeing Yu Sui's bewildered expression, Mei Liangyu said, "You've only been studying medicine for three days, haven't you?"
Yu Sui nodded.
Mei Liangyu said in a low voice, "Junior sister, as I said before, you were born into wealth and honor, and you can't learn this kind of helping others."
Besides, he thought his junior sister was fine as she was now—noble, elegant, and aloof. Although she couldn't see the truth about that scoundrel Gu Gan, she didn't need to descend to the mortal realm to learn the gentleness of doctors who risked their lives to help others.
And the force and skill with which she treated the injury were, to be honest, truly unbearable.
Mei Liangyu, not wanting to get her hands dirty with Yu Sui's blood, said, "Give it to me."
Yu Sui gestured with his eyes to the clothes in his hand, "This?" Mei Liangyu nodded, and Yu Sui gave it to him.
Yu Sui obediently sat back down, blinking as she watched Mei Liangyu treat her wounds herself.
She also doesn't like cleaning other people's wounds.
Ke Mei Liangyu was a disciple of Sage Chang Gen, having entered the sect many years earlier than her, and had a very close relationship with Sage Chang Gen.
She lost to Mei Liangyu in terms of time.
Compared to a disciple who has only been a disciple for two months, even if something happens, Sage Changgen would still prefer his eldest disciple, Mei Liangyu.
When it comes to relationships, time has a significant advantage.
Just like Gu Gan, even though his eyes are now on Xun Zhiya and he is always moved by her, he will never forget the little sweetheart who was always by his side during their youth.
Yu Sui thought so, so between Gu Gan and Mei Liangyu, she would choose Mei Liangyu first, because the person she was trying to get close to was her master.
The carriage fell silent again.
Seeing that Mei Liangyu didn't need her help, Yu Sui tidied up the clothes and jewelry that had been messed up earlier. When she glanced at Mei Liangyu, who was bandaging her, she suddenly remembered the last time she rode back to the academy with him in a carriage.
She was exhausted both physically and mentally from the assassination attempt by the peasants and the near loss of control over the strange fire, but fearing that Mei Liangyu would notice something, she tried to talk to him in the carriage to distract herself.
Mei Liangyu replied, "If you don't want to talk, then don't."
He then remained silent until he returned to the college.
The memories that came suddenly became incredibly clear.
Yu Sui closed the jewelry box and looked up at Mei Liangyu sitting opposite her. Her senior brother... wasn't so bad after all.
The carriage stopped at the gate of Taiyi Academy. Blackbeard helped Yu Sui carry her clothes and jewelry. Yu Sui looked around and said to Mei Liangyu, "Senior brother, I'll accompany you to the doctor's house first."
Blackbeard will take the clothes and jewelry back to the manor for now.
Mei Liangyu laughed and said, "Why are you coming with me? This little injury is no use."
Yu Sui opened her eyes slightly, looking at him with a mixture of amazement and disbelief.
My senior brother is quite the actor.
"It's too scary, I'm worried." Yu Sui shook her head and tried to persuade him, gently tugging at Mei Liangyu's sleeve, then withdrew her hand, afraid of hurting him. "Senior brother, let's go, do you want me to use my wind manipulation technique to take you?"
Mei Liangyu tilted his head slightly and smiled as he listened to her suggestion, "Okay."
