Chapter 13 Chapter 13 "I'm afraid you'll poison me."
Biqing, who was lying on the couch, suddenly opened her eyes.
"Wake up, wake up! Sister Biqing is awake!"
The woman's vague voice was sometimes far away and sometimes near. Biqing half raised her eyelids and stared at a certain place in a daze with a distracted look.
My eyes seemed to be covered with a thick layer of white gauze, and my abdomen felt a sharp pain.
Where did this go?
Biqing took a deep breath, closed her eyes and slowed down her weak body.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw a pair of golden-blue eyes filled with urgency and anxiety.
"Xuan...Yi...?"
"Biqing!"
Xuan Yi's voice was unusually hoarse, and Biqing frowned slightly when she heard it, and her head felt even more painful.
Xuan Yi was surprised to realize that he had disturbed Bi Qing. He pursed his lips and asked softly, "Are you thirsty?"
Biqing was in so much pain that she didn't notice that Xuan Yi's concern was mixed with the fear of surviving a disaster.
"Would you like some water?" Xuan Yi repeated patiently.
Biqing tilted her eyes, staring at Xuan Yi, who was only wearing a gray shirt, and shook her head with difficulty.
I wanted to ask Xuan Yi: Is he still alive or is he dead too?
But she didn't even have the strength to open her mouth.
"Don't move, or the wound might burst."
Xuan Yi pulled down the coat covering Biqing and said softly, "This wolf fur coat is made from my demonic power. It can help heal your wounds."
He raised his hand to tidy up Biqing's messy hair: "Have a good rest."
Since the danger that day, Biqing has been in a coma for five days.
Xuan Yi and Liu Que used snake gall to detoxify Bi Qing immediately, but they were both worried these days.
Xuan Yi was afraid that if he wasn't careful, Biqing would fall asleep.
A god without spiritual power is no different from a mortal.
Originally, Liuque was the only one taking care of Biqing. Since both of them were women, it was always convenient.
But Biqing's body was severely burned, and the wound on her abdomen was bleeding from time to time, so Liuque needed to keep a close eye on her.
Liu Que couldn't stand it anymore after taking care of the child for two days, so she had to go to Xuan Yi and ask him for help.
Xuan Yi knew that no one in the clan was willing to take on this task. After making sure that his clansmen and his brother were safe, he went to look after Bi Qing himself.
Liuque finally got a chance to rest.
Xuan Yi was initially puzzled as to why Biqing and the cubs left the barrier.
Until Ah Jiu said, "There's a crack in the barrier! Sister Biqing saw that the snake was blind and wanted to find a chance to take us out. Sister Mingzhu happened to come over, and we ran out of the barrier together, but Sister Biqing..."
Ah Jiu was sobbing and unable to speak. After a long pause, he asked, "Is Sister Biqing okay?"
"She'll wake up soon."
Xuan Yi consoled Ah Jiu for a few words and then questioned several wolf cubs individually. After receiving the same answers, his heart sank.
It must be the wolf fur coat on Biqing that brought her disaster.
The wolf fur is transformed by his own demonic power and retains his own scent.
The long snake mistook Biqing for himself.
The long snake was eager for revenge, so he pretended to be blind and deliberately let Biqing see a glimmer of hope.
Wait until Biqing leaves the barrier and then get rid of it.
Xuan Yi pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling regretful: He was the one who harmed Biqing.
Seeing his brother's face full of regret and resentment, he suppressed his complicated thoughts, patted Mo Jue on the shoulder and said: "The fault is mine, it has nothing to do with you." Then he went to visit Biqing.
Mo Jue knew clearly that the breaking of the barrier had a lot to do with himself.
It was because his demonic power had not fully recovered that the barrier became unstable, causing Biqing to suffer such serious injuries.
Mingzhu was also worried about Biqing's condition.
She always said that she hated Biqing, but when something really happened to Biqing, she worried that Biqing would die.
Mingzhu cursed in a low voice: "You know you have no spiritual power but still want to save people! I'm so angry! I'm so angry!" As she said that, she ran to the corner and swung her scimitar at the air.
Liao Ying, who was about to go hunting with the wolf demons, saw Ming Zhu throwing a tantrum at the air. He ran over and stopped Ming Zhu, "Why are you venting your anger here? Didn't the king ask you to take us with you to find food for the cubs?"
Liao Ying pulled Ming Zhu out and said, "Let's go now. The king will definitely scold you if you delay Jiu and the others' meal."
——
Biqing's condition has improved, which is undoubtedly a good thing for everyone.
It was the next day when she finally woke up.
My throat is very dry and my body hurts a lot.
Biqing wanted to call Liuque, but when she turned her head, she saw Xuanyi pacing in the room.
Although Xuan Yi slowed down his pace, the hem of his clothes that rose with his steps still betrayed his impatience and anxiety.
Biqing lowered her eyes and uttered with an unbearably dry throat, "Xuan Yi..."
Xuan Yi heard the noise and came to the bedside with the water he had prepared earlier in the morning. He scooped a spoonful of water and brought it to Bi Qing's dry, peeling mouth, carefully feeding her, "Drink some water first."
Biqing took two sips and then closed her mouth. Xuan Yi tactfully put the bone bowl aside and raised his hand to cover Biqing's forehead.
"Still a little feverish."
Xuan Yi tucked the fur coat covering her: "It's good that you woke up."
Seeing Xuan Yi's concerned look, Bi Qing's eyes suddenly turned red without warning.
It's been a long time since anyone cared about me so much.
Biqing's mouth flattened, and tears rolled out from the corners of her eyes one after another, and were quickly wiped away before they were hidden in the hair at her temples.
Xuan Yi knew she was in a bad mood, and for Biqing's sake, he half coaxed and half persuaded her, "This isn't good for your wound's recovery. Once you feel better, you can cry as long as you want."
"I thought I was dead..."
Biqing ignored Xuanyi's words and said tearfully, "I thought I would return to heaven after I died..."
"I won't let you die."
Xuan Yi wiped away the tears that fell from the person on the couch, used his magical power to conjure a blue flower, and placed it beside the pillow: "I promised you that I would take you to the foot of Kunlun Mountain, so how could I abandon you here?"
"Thanks……"
Biqing bit her lower lip and sobbed, "It hurts..."
"With such a big cut on the abdomen, it's natural that it will hurt."
Xuan Yi reached out his hand and gently placed it on Biqing's abdomen through the wolf fur, channeling his demonic energy into her pain relief. "The pain will go away soon."
Biqing turned her head to look at the light blue flower beside her pillow, seeming to be lost in thought.
"What are you thinking about?" Xuan Yi asked.
"It would be nice if it were true."
Bi Qing curled up the corners of her mouth and said weakly, "Real flowers smell so good... They're so fragrant, and you can even use them to make cakes."
Xuan Yi said, "I'll ask Liu Que to find you some cakes later."
Biqing shook her head: "I don't think much about eating, I just say whatever comes to mind."
The pain in her abdomen subsided a little, and she said, "If you think I'm a burden, just leave me here. I won't blame you..."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Xuan Yi said unhappily, "Don't let your imagination run wild."
He didn't think Biqing was a trouble.
I still remember that day when Biqing was comforting the injured wolf cub and suddenly asked, "Do you like monsters?"
He lowered his eyes, and the girl in front of him smiled innocently and brightly: "Of course! Because I am a god!"
"My aunt said that gods were born to protect all living things. This is God's responsibility."
"Demons are also human beings!"
Xuan Yi thought that those were just polite words from Biqing to flatter him.
When he remembered that Biqing was still thinking about the water source before she fell into a coma, he realized that Biqing's words were not just talk.
"Knock, knock, knock."
A knock on the door outside brought Xuan Yi back to his wandering thoughts. He used a little demonic power to open the door. He and Bi Qing were both stunned.
It was the huge rat demon that was taken away by Liuque for interrogation.
The giant rat demon came forward with a steaming potion: "This is what King Liuque prepared for you, Fairy. Drink it while it's hot, so it will be more effective."
The medicine was extremely pungent, choking Biqing so much that she shrank back into the wolf fur coat. Even Xuan Yi couldn't help but hold his breath.
Huddled in her fur coat, Biqing's nose was filled with a cold breath, as if she was in a valley shrouded in morning mist, soothing her body which was irritated by a low fever.
Xuan Yi took the bowl of greenish-black medicine and looked up again. The giant rat demon had already slipped out the door and was looking at him with its head poked out.
Xuan Yi put the medicine aside worriedly, waved his hand, and closed the door to block the sight of the giant rat demon.
The huge rat demon muttered quietly: "Let's go tell King Liuque first..." and ran to find Liuque.
Xuan Yi's cautious look caused Bi Qing to let out a muffled laugh.
Biqing felt more alert and tried to sit up on her elbows. As soon as she moved, she felt a snapping sound in her abdomen, followed by a tearing pain.
"Ugh..." Biqing was in so much pain that she broke out in a cold sweat and remained in that position, not daring to move.
The wound opened up.
Xuan Yi smelled the faint scent of blood in the air, and without caring about etiquette, he quickly lifted the wolf fur covering Biqing.
The bloodstain on the clothes quickly grew from a small spot to the size of a palm.
"I'll go call Liuque!"
Xuan Yi strode out of the house with great speed. Before leaving, he did not forget to use his magical power to seal the door to prevent others from disturbing Biqing.
Liuque was just about to enjoy the massage technique of the rat demon when she heard Xuanyi say that Biqing's wound had split open. She hurried over with her shoes in hand.
While helping Biqing change the dressing and clean up, she glanced at the closed door: "How could Xuanyi be so careless!"
After touching the medicine bowl beside the bed, which was at a comfortable temperature, Liu Que sat down beside the couch, supporting Bi Qing's back and letting her lean against him. "That old monster Xuan Yi is way too vigilant! Would I let anyone else harm you?! The toxins in your body haven't been completely cleared yet. How can he afford to delay this for too long?"
Bi Qing said, "When the medicine was brought to me, it was still steaming hot. I was afraid of getting burned so I didn't let him give it to me."
Xuan Yi, who was outside the door, glanced at the huge rat demon standing at his feet and said bluntly, "I'm afraid you'll poison me."
Giant Rat Demon: “…”
Not long after, Liu Que came out of the house with an empty bowl in hand. "While Mo Jue is recovering, you should find some food that can reduce the bitterness. Sister Biqing keeps complaining about the bitterness after drinking the medicine."
"If it's not bitter, it's not called snake gall."
Xuan Yi pulled out a snake scale from his bosom and handed it to Liu Que, "Thank you for your hard work. You understand what women like better than I do."
Liu Que looked at the snake scales, which were larger than her palm and had seven-colored light patterns flowing on them, and exclaimed, "What a treasure!"
Biqing's low-grade fever lasted for two or three days before it completely subsided. She thought she didn't need to drink the medicine anymore, but the disappointing sour and bitter taste kept rushing into her nose.
Biqing uttered a lament.
"The snake's poison is extremely toxic. You'll have to drink it for another ten days."
Xuan Yi sat down beside the couch and tried to help Bi Qing up, but halfway through he felt something was wrong and asked, "Do you have any strength left?"
Biqing nodded, propped herself up and stood up to take the medicine bowl. She held her breath, tilted her head back and drank the medicine clean.
The sour and bitter smell instantly exploded in her mouth. Biqing turned her back, stuck out her tongue and fanned it with her hands, trying to reduce the sour and bitter smell.
Her restless hands were grabbed by someone, and before Biqing could struggle, a square piece of cake appeared in her hand, which looked very delicious.
Biqing turned around and looked at Xuanyi, and asked in disbelief, "Is it for me?"
"Um."
After hearing Xuan Yi's words, Bi Qing stopped being polite and ate happily.
Xuan Yi saw that she was eating happily, and a rare tenderness appeared in the corners of his eyes. His tone became gentle, "Why are you eating so hastily? I won't snatch it from you."
Bi Qing swallowed the pastry in her mouth and said, "It's really too bitter..." She then said, "This is delicious! Xuan Yi, where did you find it? Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"
Xuan Yi remembered Liu Que's instructions and simply said, "Liu Que did it, I'm not sure about the details."
Biqing slowly finished the remaining cakes, with cake crumbs on her fingertips. She half-raised her hands to get out of bed, and felt a slight pain in her abdomen.
Biqing frowned.
"But you want to find a handkerchief?"
Xuan Yi nervously held her arm, casually grabbed the bandage Bi Qing had changed and carefully wiped her hand: "Use it as is."
Biqing wasn't picky. She quietly raised her eyelashes and looked at Xuan Yi, who was busy wiping her hands.
The big palm carefully and cautiously lifted the white, tender and boneless hand, and the slightly rough palm was tightly pressed against the fat back of the hand.
Xuan Yi could feel the softness of his fingertips even through the bandages.
My cheeks felt slightly hot and my heart felt like it was about to burst out of my chest.
Xuan Yi lowered his head even lower, fearing that Biqing would see him looking somewhat bewildered.
He knew without a doubt what he was like now.
It must be funny.
