Ji Fengyao gently placed two fingers on Hei Xiao's wrist pulse, her eyelids lowered, and the room fell silent for a moment.

After a while, Ji Fengyao withdrew her hand.

Shang Xiye also stopped.

"Xiao Jiu, get out," Black Owl said before the two could speak.

Shang Xiye's expression faltered slightly, his fingers resting on his knees tightened, and he looked at the little bandit girl, wanting to refuse.

"Or, you can all leave," Black Owl added firmly.

Shang Xiye frowned slightly, glanced at the little bandit girl with a deep look in his eyes, turned his wheelchair around, and silently left the room.

As soon as the sound of the door closing came from outside, Hei Xiao grabbed Ji Fengyao's wrist, pulled her down onto the bed, and leaned over to press himself against her.

Ji Fengyao bit her lower lip tightly, refusing to utter a sound, her large, clear eyes silently gazing at Hei Xiao. His face, which had been unusually pale due to weakness and exhaustion, was now flushed with a faint blush of anger. His alluring peach blossom eyes desperately concealed shame, anger, and grief.

It was as if a dying person was still clutching their last straw, trying to cover up their despair at impending death.

"Don't tell anyone, or I'll kill you," Black Owl whispered, almost biting Ji Fengyao's ear.

The words sounded like a threat, but they were very weak, and because they were spoken so softly, they seemed somewhat ambiguous.

Ji Fengyao turned her head slightly to look at him, their eyes so close that their eyelashes almost brushed against each other's faces.

She smiled sweetly, like the rising sun: "Brother Hei, it seems you have a secret. What is it? Tell me, and I'll decide whether to tell anyone else after I hear it."

"You!" Black Owl's eyes widened slightly, a hint of allure flashing in his slightly reddish peach blossom eyes: "You really didn't see it?"

"Aside from the damage to your dantian and the sealing of your spiritual power, I haven't seen anything else," Ji Fengyao said frankly, her clear phoenix eyes meeting his suspicious and probing gaze. "Or, tell me yourself what other problems you have, and see if I can solve them for you. Believe me, as long as you don't die of old age, there is no disease in this world that I can't cure."

Black Owl stared intently into her pure eyes, as if pondering whether what she said was true or false.

Actually, he was thinking that this was the first time someone had looked at him with such pure eyes after knowing that he came from the Black Purgatory.

Her eyes were so clear and bright that he couldn't help but be moved.

He actually wanted some warmth and happiness, but since he was born, the world has never given him any.

He would snatch her away without hesitation if she were standing next to anyone.

And the person next to her happened to be Xiao Jiu.

Suddenly, Black Owl remembered the young man in the green robe. He didn't seem to care much about Black Purgatory; he was just curious.

Hei Xiao released Ji Fengyao and stood up, his joking expression stiff and awkward: "Besides being injured, what other problems could I have? Could it be that you're hoping for my early death since I threatened to kill you earlier?"

"Tsk, you have no conscience." Ji Fengyao calmly got up, straightened her clothes and slightly disheveled hair, and teased him as usual, "With this attitude, do you still want me to treat you? Is this the attitude a patient should have when seeking medical treatment?"

Black Owl coughed lightly, regaining some of his nonchalant demeanor: "Um, didn't I only get the Breath-Gathering Incense? Why did you say my dantian was damaged? Are you referring to my Sea of ​​Breath by the dantian?"

"You don't know about the dantian?" Ji Fengyao was somewhat surprised.
