Ye Luoxing lowered her gaze. The red liquid was dazzling. She quickly asked, "Whose blood is that?"
Is it the fish's? Or his?
When Ye Luoxing looked at Xilan Meng again, he saw that he had stopped in the water. A flash of pain crossed his face. He looked at the water behind him and apologized to Ye Luoxing: "Sorry, it seems to be my blood. Something under the water scratched me."
"Is it not frightening you?" He asked this gently and caringly, not caring about his own injuries at all.
Ye Luoxing jumped down from the rock. She stood on the shore and urged, "Come up quickly and treat your wound."
Ye Luoxing had no intention of picking him up. After all, he was a fish beast, and a high-level beast at that. He could handle this kind of injury.
Xilan Meng took a step forward, but when he tried hard, his brows furrowed. He seemed a little embarrassed. Under Ye Luoxing's gaze, after several failed attempts, he said, "Something has entangled my feet. It may not be easy to get rid of it."
"Aren't you a ninth-level mermaid?" Ye Luoxing asked directly. A high-level fish beast couldn't get rid of the seaweed and other things at the bottom of the water?
Xilan Meng looked at the wound on his waist and abdomen, and said with a little embarrassment: "I don't want the wound to get wet, otherwise you will have to bandage it again."
Ye Luoxing: "..." Why does he have a different idea every time he speaks? Didn't he just say that he was not afraid of water?
However, the edge of the river was not very deep, and he had long legs, so the water had not even reached his waist since he went down.
Now, his upper body is still almost dry.
Ye Luoxing stood there and watched him struggle to break free. She wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to slip away, but after careful consideration, she bent down, took off her shoes and socks, rolled up her pants, and walked towards the river: "Forget it, I'll help you take a look."
These beasts from the West are more cunning than each other. They were fooled by Yue Huang last time, and treating the beasts in Yancheng in the past two days has consumed a lot of her superpowers. So it is better for her to conserve her energy first to avoid failing to escape and exhausting her superpowers.
After she went into the river, Xilan Meng stopped struggling. He looked at her straight long legs and walked towards him step by step, with a smile in his eyes.
Soon, Ye Luoxing came to him and said, "Don't move. Let me see what it is."
She was about to bend down to check, but Xilan Meng supported her with his arm. At this moment, she was very close to him, and Xilan Meng's heart was beating strongly.
However, just as Ye Luoxing slowly adjusted her posture, before she could see clearly what was entangled under Xilan Meng's feet, she suddenly felt a sharp pain from the bottom of her feet. Something sharp scratched her feet, and she couldn't help but cry out: "Hiss..."
The bright blood color slowly spread from the bottom of the water, gradually fading...
Yue Shang was shocked and said, "Is there really something under the water? Captain Ye, are you seriously injured?"
Ye Luoxing frowned in pain, and before she could answer Yue Shang, the moment she cried out in pain, Xilan Meng narrowed his eyes dangerously, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly. He smelled another smell of blood that did not belong to him, and saw blood surging up from the water under her feet.
Xilan Meng's face immediately turned very ugly. He crushed the fish in his hand to death and threw it onto the shore.
"You are injured." He said this in an unclear tone. The next second, when Ye Luoxing's attention was attracted by his voice, he hugged her around the waist and took a look at the wound on her right foot. He exerted a little force with his feet and jumped out of the water with his whole body. In the blink of an eye, he carried her back to the shore.
He placed her gently on the stone, then half-knelt in front of her and lifted her foot to check the wound.
The whole process was smooth and quick. It didn't look like he was entangled by anything, let alone injured.
Faced with Xilan Meng's concern, Ye Luoxing ignored the pain. When she looked at him at this moment, she only felt dissatisfied that he had fooled her.
"Aren't you injured and entangled by something?" She lowered her eyes and spoke bluntly again.
Xilan Meng paused for a moment, but he quickly tore off a corner of his cloak and bandaged her bleeding wound. Then, he raised his head, looked at her with deep blue eyes and said, "I didn't lie to you, I really am injured."
He slowly stood up, and without the cover of his body, Ye Luoxing noticed that the grass under his feet was stained with blood, and there was a piece of plant left at his ankle wrapped around his leg. She was stunned, thinking he was playing tricks on her.
Ye Luoxing rarely had an awkward moment. She looked into his eyes and said, "It's me... I misunderstood. I'm sorry."
"It's okay. I should apologize. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be hurt." There was no blame in Xilan Meng's eyes, only self-blame.
"Thank you!" He suddenly said these three words.
When Ye Luoxing showed surprise in his eyes, he slowly said: "You are willing to go down to the river to help me."
After he said this, he turned sideways and said, "I'll go get some herbs. Your wound needs medicine."
Ye Luoxing quickly stopped him: "No, I have medicine."
She took out two small bottles from her bosom. When Xilan Meng turned around, he saw that she had lifted her foot, removed the animal skin bandage on her foot, and then used something in one of the bottles to clean the wound. Then, she began to apply the sticky substance in another bottle to the wound.
Xilan Meng half-knelt on the ground again. He took the bottle from her hand, then slowly took it off her waist. He said gently, "Let me do it. It's inconvenient for you to apply the medicine yourself, and it will hurt yourself. I will be gentler and try not to let you feel any pain."
He placed her foot above the knee of his other leg, and then slowly applied the ointment to her wound. The ointment was cold, but his palms were warm, and his gentle movements were like a spring breeze. Every move he made was cautious, and he applied the ointment to her wound gently and smoothly.
Just as he was about to tear off another piece of his hide, Ye Luoxing handed him a piece of bandage from his arms: "Wrap it with this."
Xilan Meng took a look at the strange "animal skin", reached out to take it, and bandaged her wound layer by layer. Xilan Meng's bandage was not ugly. On the contrary, he bandaged it very well, better than some witch doctors.
"Is this all right?" Xilan Meng finished everything and looked up at her.
"That's enough." Ye Luoxing retracted his foot, and Xilan Meng felt a sense of emptiness somewhere.
Ye Luoxing did not take the medicine back and said to him, "Your wound also needs to be bandaged and treated with medicine."
Xilan Meng stood up and walked away: "It's just a minor injury, no need to apply medicine, it will be healed in a while."
Ye Luoxing: “……?!”
She remembered the high-level beasts' incredible self-healing ability, and Yue Shang also remembered this. The horror in their hearts lingered for a long time.
Xilan Meng walked upstream and washed the blood off his hands and legs, then said to her, "I'll go find some firewood and grill some fish for you."
That gentle and beautiful smile appeared on his face again, and he walked away after saying that.
