Song Xiwei moved her shoulder slightly. "It's just a minor scratch, it doesn't hurt."
Ao remained silent, his face somber, and focused solely on using his spiritual power to heal her.
The wound had almost healed, and Aoqian carried Song Xiwei outside.
Song Xiwei sensed that something was wrong with Aoqian.
"What happened to you? My injury is nothing serious."
Hearing Song Xiwei's voice, Aoqian lowered his head in a sullen voice. After a long while, he asked her in a gloomy tone, "Why did you shield me? You said it yourself, it was just a superficial injury. The magical beasts here can't do anything to me. Why did you go to all that trouble to shield me?"
Aoqian was not sure why he was angry, and he felt very uncomfortable.
He was determined to love her and protect her, but he still managed to hurt her because of him.
Sometimes, Aoqian really disliked Song Xiwei's reckless rescue of him.
He clearly sensed something was wrong. If he had killed the monster before it attacked, she wouldn't have gotten hurt while shielding him.
But it's too late to say anything now; she's already hurt because of him.
Thinking that Song Xiwei had also made a deal with someone else for his sake half a year ago, Aoqian felt even more suffocated.
He thought he had grown stronger and more capable of protecting her, but in the end, he still felt so powerless.
Sometimes I really wish Song Xiwei wouldn't be so reckless, and wouldn't go to such lengths to think of him.
Song Xiwei was momentarily stunned by Aoqian's question.
Why did you take that hit for him?
She didn't know why, she just subconsciously reacted that way in that instant.
For her, she could get hurt, but she couldn't let Aoqian suffer any mishap. At that moment, Aoqian was more important than anything else.
There was no time to think about anything else.
Seeing that Aoqian looked very upset and seemed angry, Song Xiwei couldn't figure out what she had done to offend him. She asked him in confusion, "I'm your subordinate. Isn't it my duty to protect my master? I'm loyal to you, so why are you still unhappy?"
Logically speaking, it is gratifying for a subordinate to be loyal to their superior.
But at this moment, hearing Song Xiwei say this, Aoqian felt very depressed.
"Fine, so you still know you're my subordinate. Subordinates have to listen to their superiors. So, do you think you'll listen to whatever I say now?" Aoqian gritted his teeth, as if he was suppressing something.
Song Xi nodded slightly, "Of course, as long as it makes sense, I'll naturally listen to you!"
"Then I command you, from today onwards, to never be injured, not even to protect me! If I ever see you injured again, Song Xiwei, I will punish you with the most severe measures!"
Aoqian spoke slowly and deliberately, very seriously.
When Song Xiwei heard Aoqian mention the most severe punishment, she wasn't afraid at all. Instead, she smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll be obedient."
"Be serious! I'm not joking! If you break your promise, I will punish you severely!" Aoqian didn't want Song Xiwei to ignore this. He had to make her understand that nothing worried him more than her injury.
"When have I ever broken a promise to Your Majesty? Don't worry, no one wants to get hurt, and I certainly don't want to get hurt either," Song Xi blinked slightly, answering with feigned ease.
Actually, she just wanted Aoqian to stop dwelling on what had just happened.
Looking back now, she still doesn't understand why she did it without hesitation, nor does she know when it started, that Aoqian became more important than everything else.
Aoqian remained sullen.
It's as if they've encountered some major setback.
Song Xiwei reached out and took Aoqian's hand. "I'll be more careful next time. It really happened so suddenly."
Listening to Song Xiwei's explanation, Aoqian sighed, his tone heavy, "If you always get hurt because of me, it will make me feel useless."
