Chapter 172: Brain supplementation is a disease and needs to be treated
Chi Li sat lazily on the edge of the couch, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Jiang Jiu with a smile.
"Little thing, are you determined to sacrifice yourself?"
After being pointed out so bluntly by Chi Li, Jiang Jiu's desire to die reached its peak. He frantically organized words in his head to explain, but the fact was that it was useless to say anything.
“…”
She bit her lip, looked at Chi Li's beautiful eyes with a troubled look, and remained silent.
One second, two seconds, three seconds, time slowly passed in the dull air.
I don’t know how long it took.
Chi Li actually turned his eyes away first, with a slight sense of unnaturalness in his tone.
"as you like."
After saying this, he turned around and disappeared from the room, not giving Jiang Jiu a chance to continue speaking.
Bai Ze watched Chi Li leave and actually followed him.
Only Xiao Nianzhong and Jiang Jiu were left in the room.
Jiang Jiu was stunned for a moment. She just didn't know what to say, so she stared at Chi Li in a daze for a while. Was he imagining something weird?
Xiao Nianzhong was very dissatisfied at this moment. The little coal ball showed its sharp teeth and bit Jiang Jiu's finger.
"Look at me, don't look at others."
Jiang Jiu felt a slight tingling on his skin, and silently lowered his head, looking at the furry doll-like Demon Lord in his arms.
"snort."
Xiao Nianzhong snorted coldly at first, then flew around Jiang Jiu awkwardly twice.
"Although that stinky fox saved you, I also tried my best. You can't ignore me!"
The tone of voice, which sounded like inviting favor, made Jiang Jiu inexplicably want to laugh. The corners of the girl's mouth curled up, and there was a look of doting in her eyes that she herself didn't even notice.
"I didn't ignore you."
She stretched out her fingertips and touched the little black ball in front of her. It felt as good as ever, just like the first time they met.
"Hmm, do you really want to beg your senior brother for that monk?"
Xiao Nianzhong hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help but ask.
He had met Yu Zimo and knew that he was not a good person at heart. If he controlled Jiang Jiu's lifeline, Jiang Jiu might be taken away.
Even if the monk was seriously injured and dying while saving Jiang Jiu, he could not accept Jiang Jiu sacrificing himself for him.
"Um."
Jiang Jiu didn't hesitate at all, this was what she should do.
"oh."
Xiao Nianzhong was still in his original form, with the fur covering the expression on his face. If he transformed into a human form, Jiang Jiu would be able to see how complicated his expression was.
"Now that I'm okay, I want to go see him."
Jiang Jiu held the small black ball in both hands, placed it in front of him, and spoke in a negotiating tone.
"Yes, sure."
Xiao Nianzhong has come out of the shadow of almost losing Jiang Jiu. Now that his emotions have calmed down, he doesn't have much objection to Jiang Jiu wanting to meet his savior.
"But I won't go. I'm afraid I'll die of boredom."
Xiao Nian curled his lips. Just thinking about Jiang Jiu showing guilt or other expressions towards Fo Jiang made him so angry that he almost died.
"good."
Jiang Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, got out of bed carefully, and followed the corridor to find the room where Fo Jiang was.
Speaking of which, she only found out after she went out that after Bai Ze found them, he brought them directly to the Medicine King's retreat. When walking in the corridor, they could faintly smell the fragrance of medicine.
When Jiang Jiu opened the door, he saw the once lively Fo Jiang, now lying on the bed with a pale face, his eyes closed, and no consciousness at all.
“…”
Jiang Jiu approached cautiously, sat beside his bed, and stared at Fo Jiang's handsome and gentle face in a trance.
Even after becoming a monk and taking the tonsure, his handsome features alone can still make people fall in love with him.
"It's not worth it to save me like this."
She muttered to herself in this empty room, regardless of whether Fo Jiang could hear her or not.
The next second, there was a knock on the door outside the room, and a female voice came, and Jiang Jiu came back to his senses.
"It's time for treatment."
Judging from the voice, it should be the maid of Medicine King, so Jiang Jiu responded.
"Come in."
The treatment didn't last long. Jiang Jiu watched quietly beside him. The soft white light kept flashing. It must be some special treatment.
"Master Medicine King said that we can only protect his soul now, but if we want him to wake up, we have to find another way."
The maid looked at Jiang Jiu and felt that his expression was very cold, but her intuition told her that this icy beauty seemed to be very worried about the monk lying on the bed, so she started to explain.
"Uh-huh."
Jiang Jiu still has social anxiety towards strangers, but listening to the doctor's advice is very important, so Jiang Jiu immediately pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
"The damage caused by the Void Turbulence not only affects the body but also the soul. He has been able to hold on for so long. Even the Medicine King called it a miracle."
The maid couldn't help but sigh.
"However, if the Lord of the Ghost Realm takes action, supplemented by top-grade Lingxi Incense, it is not impossible to repair the soul."
"But the Lord of the Ghost Realm is said to have an unpredictable temperament. If we were to ask him to help, it would probably take a lot of effort."
As the maid spoke, she actually revealed a hint of sympathy and pity for Fo Jiang lying on the bed. She obviously felt that Jiang Jiu would never be able to invite the Lord of the Ghost Realm.
"Um...thank you."
Jiang Jiu subconsciously rubbed the Qiankun Ring on his finger and said blankly.
...
On the other side, Chi Li, who had left the Medicine King's residence, was standing on a giant tree, looking into the distance with a vacant expression.
"Why don't you tell me?"
Bai Ze caught up and looked at Chi Li's slightly lonely figure, and sighed deeply.
"say what?"
When Chi Li noticed Bai Ze's presence, he immediately hid his true feelings that had been inadvertently revealed, and returned to his nonchalant look, glancing at Bai Ze with a squint.
"nothing."
Bai Ze shook his head.
Chi Li withdrew his gaze, stretched out his slender, cold white hand and looked at it. The bloodstains on it had long disappeared.
He lowered his arm, which hit the leaves, making a rustling sound, and spoke in a nonchalant tone.
"Well, I'm glad she's okay."
Bai Ze originally had few interactions with Chi Li in the Nine Heavens. He only knew that Chi Li was the only one among all the gods who became an immortal from a demon body, and he was also the nine-tailed god sealed by heaven. He acted extremely recklessly in the entire Nine Heavens.
They have the freest character, do whatever they want, and are not bound by the rules and regulations of the divine world.
He usually leaves his duties as a deity to the seven gods under him and travels around the country.
Every time I saw Chi Li at a banquet in heaven, he was extremely unrestrained. He came when he wanted and left when he wanted. No one dared to say much to him, even Ji Ling was polite to him.
Seeing him covered in blood and in a very miserable state that day, Bai Ze thought that he would tell the truth as he did in the past and make Jiang Jiu feel guilty for him.
Even his beloved fox tail was left with bloodstains due to its rapid flight through the void.
But he didn't say anything.
The only time Jiang Jiu lost his composure was when he woke up and showed concern for Fo Jiang.
