Aoqian spoke in a sickly tone, looking very weak.
Seeing that he could no longer stand, Song Xiwei quickly reached out to support him.
As he helped her up, he could feel the burning heat emanating from Aoqian's body even through her wet clothes. "Why is she so hot? You really are..."
Remembering what Aoqian had said, he had sealed off his magic power. Now that he was without magic power to protect him, wouldn't he get sick even if he took a cold bath?
I really don't understand, why bother with all this for no reason?
Although Song Xiwei was helpless, she still did her best to help Aoqian to the bed.
Conditions here are limited; the beds are made of straw, which isn't too hard.
Song Xiwei was busy boiling water to wash and cool down Aoqian. She was so busy that she didn't sleep all night.
The next morning, while Aoqian was still fast asleep, Song Xiwei had already prepared the medicine.
We're just waiting for Aoqian to wake up so he can drink his medicine. He should be almost better by then.
Aoqian is different from ordinary people. Even without the protection of magic, he is not that weak.
The recovery was quick, probably because Song Xiwei took very good care of him overnight.
Watching Ao Qian obediently drink his medicine—a large bowl of bitter medicine—without even flinching, Song Xiwei couldn't help but think that while Ao Qian might seem pretentious at times, he was actually quite resilient most of the time.
Song Xiwei still remembered when they had just met, she scraped the bone to remove the poison from Aoqian's body. At that time, Aoqian didn't even frown. He was in so much pain, but he didn't utter a sound. It was as if he was made of iron.
However, this resilient and pain-resistant Aoqian would later reveal a wet, aggrieved, and pitiful expression in front of Song Xiwei, forcing her to compromise time and time again.
"That's enough. Hurry up and lift the lockdown. Don't play these pointless tricks. Do you know how dangerous it is for you to do this? If your enemies take the opportunity to assassinate you, you'd be dead already!" Song Xiwei felt a chill run down her spine just thinking about it. This Aoqian used to be a very cautious person, how come he's becoming more and more reckless now?
Aoqian was scolded by Song Xiwei, but he didn't talk back. He just stared at her without blinking, and it was unclear how much of what he said actually came to mind.
Song Xiwei sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation. "We've bothered you enough. I think it's time to take our leave. What about you? If you still want to stay..."
Upon hearing this, Aoqian looked resentful and said, "You're leaving, what am I supposed to do here? Are you really stupid or just pretending? Who did I come here for? And who did I get sick for? You just don't appreciate it at all."
Aoqian lowered his eyes, looking very aggrieved.
Seeing that he had just recovered from a serious illness, Song Xiwei went along with him a bit more. "Alright, alright. I took care of you all night without closing my eyes for a second, and you start picking on me as soon as you wake up. That's so unfair of you."
Aoqian immediately stopped arguing and looked at Song Xiwei with a deep gaze, "I can't recover my magic power for the time being. It will take at least seven days to recover. During these seven days, you will protect me closely, right?"
Song Xiwei said speechlessly, "Are you playing me again? How could sealing your magic power take so long?"
“Our demon race needs to seal our magic power through our primordial spirit. My situation is rather complicated, so for these seven days, I’ll just be an ordinary mortal. Please bear with me.” Ao Qian blinked, as if to say, “Now that things have come to this, you have to take care of me.”
Song Xiwei felt a headache coming on; it was obvious that Aoqian was doing this on purpose.
But indeed, she couldn't abandon Aoqian and ignore him.
Perhaps Aoqian was confident in her abilities, which is why he dared to do this.
"This is a one-time exception. Don't ever joke around with your personal safety again! Although I can protect you, what you're doing is undoubtedly putting yourself in danger. Although the Six Realms seem calm on the surface now, who doesn't know that it's all an illusion? It could collapse at any moment! It's one thing for you not to be careful, but to act so recklessly!"
As Song Xiwei grew angrier, Aoqian suddenly rubbed his fluffy rabbit ears against her palm.
"!!!" Damn it! Song Xiwei felt her blood rushing to her head; she was about to embarrass herself again.
