The black bear continued to roar, and Jun Qi was having a great time; such a pure hand-to-hand combat opportunity was rare.

When he got tired of hitting it, he switched paws and pressed down on the black bear's pulse point, then continued hitting it with the other paw. This lasted for about an hour, and Xu Qiaoqiao watched for an hour as well.

Why can someone be so cowardly?

She thought this black bear was at least a formidable character, although Xu Qiaoqiao's impression of him was that he was simple-minded, especially the way he carried her around eating that day.

Okay, I guess I was just overthinking things.

Xu Qiaoqiao yawned and shook her head. She spread out all her leaves. Although she hadn't grown much taller these days, her leaves had grown quite a bit, casting a sizable shadow under the sunlight.

"roar."

Finally, Jun Qi knocked the black bear unconscious. He looked at the black bear under his paws, narrowed his eyes, and to prevent it from faking its unconsciousness, punched it in the eyes a few more times. His paws emitted a faint yellow light.

The sounds of flesh being pounded echoed continuously. After confirming that the other party was truly powerless to fight back, Jun Qi released his claws. Seeing that he was still unconscious on the ground, he slowly walked over to Xu Qiaoqiao.

As she got closer, Xu Qiaoqiao noticed that a large piece of skin had been torn off the other person's back. She could smell the blood, but having witnessed the scene just now, she assumed it was the blood of a black bear.

It turned out to be Jun Qi's.

Xu Qiaoqiao's relaxed mood turned tense again. She looked at Jun Qi with concern and saw that he had lowered his head in front of her. She quickly touched his head with her leaf and said anxiously, "Ahei, are you alright? Let me see your back, quick!"

"Roar~"

Jun Qi called out to Xu Qiaoqiao, his mustache twitching slightly. Their faces were already very close, and when Jun Qi moved, his mustache brushed against Xu Qiaoqiao's cheek. He shook his head slightly.

It's fine.

Jun Qi originally intended to use his magic to repair the wound inflicted by the black bear, but for some reason, it didn't heal well and even hurt more.

Could that black bear still have poison on its teeth?

Jun Qi hesitated in his heart, but this was the only explanation for the situation.

Tsk tsk, I should have known better than to go easy on them. As expected, mercy is no good.

Jun Qi thought coldly, when suddenly he felt something cool touch his forehead. He came to his senses and immediately saw Xu Qiaoqiao's worried eyes, which seemed to be filled with tears.

"Does it hurt?"

This was the first time Xu Qiaoqiao had seen Jun Qi injured in this world. Although he wasn't as badly injured as he was in the first world, where his skin and flesh were torn open, the severity of the injury didn't matter; what mattered most to her was her heartache.

"roar……"

Jun Qi felt a little uncomfortable with Xu Qiaoqiao's caring attitude towards him, but he didn't run away, which shows that he also liked it.

Xu Qiaoqiao glanced at the wound on Jun Qi's back again, feeling heartbroken. However, the fight between Jun Qi and the black bear was over so quickly that by the time she looked, Jun Qi's period of suffering was over, and the black bear was being beaten down.

"roar."

Jun Qi realized he didn't want Ling Cao to worry, especially seeing the worry in her eyes. He couldn't help but follow her lead, so he comforted Xu Qiao Qiao. Following the comforting words his mother had given him, Jun Qi leaned over and hesitantly kissed Xu Qiao Qiao.

Don't worry, it really doesn't hurt.

This was the first proper kiss in the world, although it wasn't a mouth-to-mouth kiss, it still surprised her quite a bit. Before, the closest thing she and Jun Qi had ever done was to rub each other's hands.

Jun Qi brought his face close to the roots or leaves, burying it in them, which allowed Xu Qiaoqiao to clearly feel his warm breath.

Jun Qi was probably doing this for the first time, so he seemed quite unfamiliar with it, which Xu Qiaoqiao could clearly sense, after all, she hadn't spent the previous two worlds for nothing.

Actually, there is another way to treat Jun Qi's back wound, but it requires a spiritual herb that draws some of her life force from her. Not much, because the wound on her back is not that serious.

However, Jun Qi simply didn't want to use this method. He figured he could just wait for the clan elder to come and treat him.

As for whether he would be scolded by the other party, Jun Qi had not considered that.

If the life force of the spirit herb is used for treatment, half of the leaves on her body will fall off, and she will not recover for a long time.

Then all the medicine we applied a few days ago was wasted, wasn't it?

Does that mean the days after consuming this spiritual herb will be postponed again?

That won't work.

Jun Qi comforted himself in this way, because he would never, ever admit that he actually cared a lot about the spirit herb, and would not sacrifice her or anything on her to achieve his own goals.

Although the wound on his back was still bleeding, Jun Qi's mind was perfectly clear.

Xu Qiaoqiao was unaware of Jun Qi's thoughts. She was completely captivated by Jun Qi's flurry of kisses. She hugged Jun Qi's head, and the soft, furry touch made her heart sink.

"Okay, okay, I know, please stop kissing me, you're getting all your saliva on my face."

Xu Qiaoqiao feigned anger, but the smile in her eyes was unmistakable.

Jun Qi raised his paw and touched Xu Qiaoqiao's face. Because Ye Zi was very thin and not even as big as his tiger paw, he touched Xu Qiaoqiao with the softest part of his paw.

"roar."

Jun Qi then turned around to deal with the black bear. Normally, he would have simply killed it, but this time the situation was different.

He walked around the black bear once, its tail seemingly twitching aimlessly in response to its owner's inner turmoil.

Xu Qiaoqiao watched Jun Qi's actions without offering any opinion. She figured it was up to Jun Qi to make his own decision, since they would share the consequences anyway.

Jun Qi yawned, feeling sleepy. Usually, he would have already started his afternoon nap by now, unlike now.

After this fight, if the other side comes again, then just go all out and don't hold back.

Jun Qi had already come up with a plan. He cast a spell on the black bear to put it to sleep, the kind that would allow it to sleep for several more days. Jun Qi picked up the black bear by the scruff of its neck, and then, like a gust of wind, Xu Qiaoqiao had only blinked once when she could only see that black figure in the distance.

It seems Junjun is still soft-hearted.

Xu Qiaoqiao watched Jun Qi's retreating figure and couldn't help but sigh, "They even let him go when he came knocking on their door."
