Chapter 75: I showed off my ability for a moment, so I’ll be scolded!
Jiang Hongyi stood behind Qi Xu, and at this moment he felt powerless.
Every time this happens, he is always unable to help.
Jiang Hongyi's drooping hands had been clenched into fists, and he secretly made up his mind.
After returning, he must practice more close combat and long-range attack speed. As long as he can help Qi Xu a little, he will feel that he is still a useful person.
After Qi Xu finished reciting the spell, the deck of the warship returned to its former tranquility.
A breeze blew slowly, the waves rippled slightly, the smell of sea water filled my nose, and the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, giving the impression of seeing the sun again after the clouds had been cleared away.
"Huh! I can finally take a break. Mr. Tian, the Great Demon King was seriously injured this time, and so much evil energy was sucked away. I don't think he will make a comeback in the short term."
After Qi Xu finished the hand seal, she felt a little unsteady on her feet. Jiang Hongyi quickly extended half of his arm behind her to protect her from falling.
"You're right. His injuries this time will probably require him to absorb a lot of energy and consolidate his initial cultivation. Regardless of how much, he'll probably need more than half a year of recuperation."
Mr. Tian touched his beard and confirmed her guess.
"Let's go to your room quickly. I'll check Xiao Qi's neck injury."
Mr. Tian looked at the black and purple handprint on Qi Xu's neck, his eyes darkened.
Jiang Hongyi supported Qi Xu and led the way in front, with Mr. Tian following behind.
"This... Xiao Qi, you were so strong just now. Do you know the current state of this black and purple handprint? Your neck could have been broken just now."
Mr. Tian used his index and middle fingers together to feel the height of the swollen handprint, his eyes full of pity.
Jiang Hongyi, who was listening at the side, had a gloomy expression on his face and pursed his lips without saying a word.
"Haha, haha, isn't it said that one must face death before being reborn? It's okay, it's okay."
Qi Xu looked at Mr. Tian on the left and Jiang Hongyi on the right. He felt that he was indeed in the wrong, and his voice of defense became smaller and smaller.
In the end, I lowered my head and didn't dare to look them in the eye.
"What else do you want to do?"
Jiang Hongyi still couldn't hold it in, and said viciously through gritted teeth.
"No, no, no, absolutely not..."
"This... don't you and Mr. Tian have it?"
Qi Xu subconsciously retorted, but began to stammer after seeing Jiang Hongyi's eyes.
Mr. Tian started to move, trying to use the magic of removing filth to remove the black and purple handprints on her neck.
A blue light flashed, and the black and purple handprint faded slightly, but did not disappear completely.
"My ability can only eliminate it to this point. Xiao Qi, on the way back, I suggest you cover your neck with clothes or a scarf."
"This is quite serious."
After giving his instructions, Mr. Tian shook his head and left their room.
The two of them were left looking at each other. Qi Xu raised his eyes to glance at Jiang Hongyi's cold face, then quietly lowered his head.
Jiang Hongyi stood up and turned to take out the usual medicine box from the cabinet.
He sat back in his original position, took the anti-swelling ointment, and gently applied it to the wound on Qi Xu's neck with the tip of his right index finger.
"Hiss~"
When his hand first touched the black and purple handprint, she felt the pain clearly.
"Don't move!"
Jiang Hongyi's words made her dare not move at all, and she tilted her neck upwards and let him apply the medicine.
"You, don't be angry."
When he finished applying the medicine, packed up his medicine box and turned to leave, Qi Xu took the opportunity to grab his sleeve, raised his eyes and stared at him innocently.
Jiang Hongyi just glanced at her and his heart softened immediately.
"Can you please take yourself a little more seriously in the future and stop treating your life so lightly?"
His voice softened, and he directly held her hand, looking at her sincerely and persuading her.
"Okay, I promise, I won't do this again."
Qi Xu placed his other hand on the back of Jiang Hongyi's hand and answered sincerely.
Jiang Hongyi sighed, nodded, went back to put the medicine box away, and turned to leave the house.
Qi Xu lay paralyzed on the bed, feeling that he was in real big trouble.
It was obvious that their relationship had improved a little, but it was over. After her actions, it was back to square one.
She lay spread-eagle on the bed, feeling hopeless.
Time passes by second by second.
About half an hour later, Jiang Hongyi pushed open the door and walked in.
Qi Xu squinted his eyes and took a quick glance. Jiang Hongyi seemed to be holding a red handkerchief in his hand.
It was not until Jiang Hongyi came closer that she realized that he was holding a silk scarf.
A silk scarf? Where could there be any silk scarves on this few hundred square meters of ocean?
Besides, except for her, there are only men on this warship. Who would have a scarf?
Jiang Hongyi saw her eyes rolling from a distance, wondering what was going on in her mind.
"I bought this scarf from the only cook in the kitchen. Use it to cover the handprints on your neck on your way back."
The simple and clear explanation dispelled all the question marks in Qi Xu's mind.
"Well, help me tie it."
Qi Xu muttered to herself that she was overthinking things. She raised her head and motioned Jiang Hongyi to come over quickly to help her tie the scarf.
Jiang Hongyi stayed there for several seconds before walking over, sitting on the edge of the bed, putting his hands behind his neck and then in front to start tying the scarf.
His fingers were rough from years of martial arts training, and it was a little itchy when he accidentally touched her neck.
However, Qi Xu did not say anything. There was no reason to look down on others when asking them to help her tie the scarf.
Qi Xu wore the scarf for the next few days without taking it off.
When they returned to the dock at Jingbin Island, they ran into Zou Yaojie who had just returned from fishing.
Of course, Zou Yaojie couldn't recognize her now, so she looked around at his brothers.
Indeed, there was a person who looked dull and had a faint evil aura around him. He did not stop carrying seafood from the boat and did not even complain of being tired.
Qi Xu specifically noted down the man's characteristics: short hair, flat nose, and eyes that were relatively wide apart.
From a distance, he seemed quite well behaved. She would have to wait until she got back to investigate why he was haunted by evil spirits.
However, one good thing was that she saw a red light on Zou Yaojie's forehead, which meant that his fortune was pretty good recently. He must have opened a shop, expanded his business channels, and had a lot more money in his pocket.
Not bad, not bad. Finally there was some good news that made her a little happier.
Jiang Hongyi took his subordinates back to report, while she planned to go directly back to the family compound.
She was humming a song on the way back, but she was completely broken down when she saw the egg liquid and rotten vegetable leaves on her door.
What's going on...
She and Jiang Hongyi were only on a business trip for a few days. What happened to the gate of the courtyard?
"Master? An An?"
Qi Duoduo was a little panicked and hurriedly knocked on the gate, hoping that someone inside would respond to her.
