Gu Qingze supported Chu Lingxiao and walked slowly step by step until they arrived at a place full of statues. Chu Lingxiao could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground.
Gu Qingze anxiously took out three more bottles of recovery potion from the storage bag, wanting Ling Xiao to drink them to temporarily restore some strength and leave Xuanyin first.
But when he looked up again and saw Chu Lingxiao, he had already fainted...
Gu Qingze paused after handing him the recovery potion, then took out a small white jade bottle from the storage bag, hesitated for a moment, and stuffed a pill inside into his mouth.
But because he fainted, he couldn't swallow the pill...
Gu Qingze was a little distressed. He thought for a while, and then slowly opened the bottle of recovery potion.
He first carefully took a sip of the medicine into his mouth, then he kissed her gently but firmly, prying open her tightly closed lips and teeth little by little, and patiently and carefully pouring the medicine into her slowly.
Although Chu Lingxiao fainted, he still felt the liquid in his mouth and swallowed it unconsciously. He also successfully swallowed the pill in his mouth along with the medicine.
Gu Qingze finally felt relieved, released his lips, found a comfortable position, and let him lean on him.
Then, he treated his wounds and forced himself to drink two bottles of recovery potion.
After drinking the potion, I felt a piercing pain at first, as if the wounds on my body were about to split open, and the pain spread throughout my body. Then the pain gradually subsided and softened.
Gu Qingze endured the pain and remained motionless, fearing that he would disturb Ling Xiao's rest...
Half an hour later, Chu Lingxiao woke up, although he was still very tired.
"Qingze, thank you for your hard work." This was the first sentence he said as soon as he opened his eyes.
"I'm completely unable to move now, I can't even exert any strength, so... I'll have to trouble Qingze for the rest of the journey." Chu Lingxiao seemed a little apologetic.
Gu Qingze heard this and shook his head: "It's not a big deal. Besides, if it weren't for Ling Xiao, we might not have gotten the 'Three Lives Flower'. Ling Xiao is the main contributor this time."
"Don't worry, leave the rest of the journey to me."
He bent down, put his arms under Ling Xiao's armpits, and hugged the other's body tightly.
Ling Xiao's faint breath touched his neck, bringing with it a hint of warmth.
He took a deep breath, exerted his strength secretly, and lifted his body up, making it as close to his back as possible.
He adjusted his position so that his legs were more securely draped around his waist, and his hands firmly clasped his thighs to prevent them from sliding down.
"Okay, let's go. Ling Xiao, remember to hold me tight."
Gu Qingze smiled and quickened his pace. With every step he took, he could feel Ling Xiao's body swaying slightly with his steps, which made him inexplicably feel at ease. Ling Xiao was being carried on his back.
Gu Qingze carried Chu Lingxiao on his back and walked quickly forward. If he hadn't considered Lingxiao's physical condition, he would have walked even faster.
Chu Lingxiao leaned quietly on his back. He could clearly feel Gu Qingze's breathing and heartbeat, as well as his body temperature coming through his clothes. A wonderful warmth rose in his heart.
"Qingze, aren't you curious about why the coffin keeper..."
Gu Qingze interrupted him: "Ling Xiao, although I am very curious, let's save it for when we get back. Nothing is more important than you."
Chu Lingxiao said nothing more. He hugged his neck from behind and let him carry him through.
It was unknown how long it had been before they finally returned the same way and left Xuanyin.
To their surprise, as soon as they left Xuanyin, they saw Song Jinnian and Su Han nearby.
"Brother Jinnian, Su Han, why are you here?"
Song Jinnian smiled and said, "Helan couldn't leave for something, so he asked us to come and pick you up."
"He said that even if you could come back alive, you would be dying and would definitely need help, so we came."
"Senior Brother Helan..." Gu Qingze was a little moved when he heard this.
"Well, let's go quickly. Helan prepared a medicinal bath for you. It's very precious. It's said to be able to cure all diseases. I'll be waiting for you to return."
Song Jinnian said, and patted Su Han beside him. Su Han nodded: "You are injured, so let us take care of Chu Lingxiao."
Gu Qingze was even more moved: "Thank you, Brother Jinnian, Su Han, and Senior Brother Helan for your kindness."
