Startled, Xuan Yuanzhan immediately dodged to the side, not daring to use any moves against Pei Luo. He could only plead with Pei Luo with a bitter expression, "I was just resting in this bamboo forest. Please, Master, have mercy."
Seeing that he didn't fight back, Pei Luo felt embarrassed to continue fighting and stopped, saying, "It's just a exchange of blows, what's the big deal?"
Xuanyuan Zhan smiled wryly: "My martial arts skills are not even one ten-thousandth of Master's. How could I be worthy to fight against Master? Master, please don't joke with me."
Pei Luo was amused by him: "I didn't realize that your flattery skills are better than your martial arts skills! Is this how you won over my girl?"
...Xuanyuan Zhan's eyes twitched.
Did he get it?
Perhaps so, he has no memory of such a wonderful experience!
The two of them floated down from the thin bamboo together. Pei Luo circled around Xuan Yuanzhan twice and said, "Your martial arts are not bad, but you're a bit too thin."
Pei Luo said, giving Xuan Yuanzhan a squeeze on the shoulder: "Look, you've lost all your muscles."
Xuanyuan Zhan explained helplessly, "I used to be quite strong, but I was seriously ill before and lay in bed for half a month without eating or drinking, so I lost some weight. But I've been working out hard, and I'll get my muscles back soon."
Pei Luo nodded silently, then became curious: "By the way, what exactly is your illness?"
Xuanyuan Zhan: "..."
This question stumped Xuanyuan Zhan.
What illness does he have?
Even he himself doesn't know?
Was it a side effect of being cured of the Love Flower Curse? Or some other strange illness? He himself couldn't say for sure!
Seeing that he couldn't answer for a while, Pei Luo became even more curious: "Do you want me to take a look at you?"
Pei Luo was about to start working on it when Xuan Yuanzhan quickly declined, saying, "No need, no need, it's already done."
"I'm going to check on Ning'er." Before Pei Luo could speak, Xuan Yuanzhan ran towards the bamboo house.
Having witnessed Xuan Yuanzhan effortlessly break his formation, Pei Luo became even more interested in him.
Besides his impressive martial arts skills, this kid is also quite good at formations. I wonder which school or sect he studied under; he certainly has some talent!
Xuan Yuanzhan carefully pushed open the door and saw Su Xuening holding Su Yun'an sitting on the edge of the small couch. Su Yun'an was so sleepy that he was dozing off in Su Xuening's arms.
Mu Junyu was still fast asleep on the bed, seemingly unaware of anything.
Xuan Yuanzhan felt sorry for Su Xuening, so he stepped forward and took Su Yun'an out of her arms, placing the little guy on the bamboo bed in the inner room.
Su Yun'an opened his eyes as soon as he was put down. He saw that it was Xuan Yuanzhan and was about to get up, but Xuan Yuanzhan pressed him back down: "Your mother has someone taking care of her. You should rest well and get some sleep to take over for your sister."
Xuan Yuanzhan, not allowing Su Yun'an to refuse, covered him with the blanket again.
Su Yun'an realized that her sister hadn't rested for several days, so she stopped making a fuss and obediently closed her eyes.
Perhaps he was really exhausted, Su Yun'an fell asleep quickly.
Only after seeing Su Yun'an fall asleep did Xuan Yuanzhan come out from the inner room.
Su Xuening turned her head to look at the sleeping Su Yun'an, and smiled at Xuan Yuanzhan, "You're really something."
She tried to coax him countless times, but Yun'an insisted on staying with his mother. He was just too sleepy to stay, so she could only hold him.
He's really good; he managed to coax Yun'an to sleep right away.
Thinking of something, Su Xuening looked at Xuan Yuanzhan's waist again, noticing that the bloodstains there had already dried, and frowned, asking, "How is Your Highness's wound?"
As Su Xuening spoke, she got up and reached out to pull at Xuan Yuanzhan's belt, wanting to see his wound.
Xuanyuan Zhan blushed uncomfortably, but did not refuse.
Su Xuening loosened Xuan Yuanzhan's belt and saw that the wound on his waist had indeed reopened, but because he had applied medicine before, it was not too serious.
"Sit down first, the wound needs to be treated again."
Su Xuening pulled Xuan Yuanzhan to sit down, then went to fetch warm water and bring over the medicine box.
Su Xuening first cleaned Xuan Yuanzhan's wound with warm water before applying medicine and bandaging it again.
Even though his waist looked very narrow, she still had a lot of trouble wrapping the gauze around it. Several times, it almost touched his lower abdomen. She was holding her breath and her face was getting redder and redder, so she could only speed up her movements.
Xuan Yuanzhan was also itchy to the extreme by her faint breathing, which was simply torture for him, but he was stubbornly unwilling to let her stop.
It took a while for the wound to be bandaged, and Su Xuening re-tied his belt.
As soon as he finished tying his clothes, Xuan Yuanzhan scooped Su Xuening up in his arms.
"Your Highness..."
Su Xuening was startled by him, her pretty face flushed red, and she looked at him nervously.
Could he be plotting something? His mother and Yun Anke are still here.
Seemingly sensing her misunderstanding, Xuan Yuanzhan explained jokingly, "You need to rest."
Realizing she had misunderstood, Su Xuening's face turned bright red: "I am not tired."
Su Xuening struggled to get down, but Xuan Yuanzhan patted her bottom: "I'll guard Mother. You can choose to go back to your room to sleep, or you can sleep in my arms like you did with Su Yun'an just now."
...Su Xuening felt that not only her face was red, but even her toes were probably red.
Su Xuening stopped struggling, and Xuan Yuanzhan carried her back to her room.
Su Xuening had previously asked Jinzhu to sleep in her room, but Jinzhu didn't dare to do anything out of line. Jinzhu originally wanted to go back to the carriage to sleep, but Pei Luo saw this and arranged a guest room for her.
There aren't many bamboo houses here. After Su Yun'an became their apprentice, there are only two guest rooms left. One was given to Mu Junyu and the other to Jinzhu, so Xuan Yuanzhan had to sleep in the bamboo forest.
Xuan Yuanzhan carried Su Xuening directly to the bamboo bed: "You can rest easy for a while. I'll go and watch over Mother. If anything happens, Master is here too. You don't need to worry about anything. Just rest."
As Xuanyuan Zhan spoke, he turned to go to the guest room, but Su Xuening grabbed his clothes.
Xuanyuan Zhan glanced back at Su Xuening, his gray eyes still seeming to flicker with firelight.
Su Xuening instantly felt as if she had been burned by his gaze. She immediately loosened her grip on his clothes, lowered her eyes, and whispered, "Xuanyuan Zhan, thank you."
Hearing her call his name, Xuan Yuanzhan was overjoyed again. Even though she said "thank you" instead of "I love you," he was still incredibly happy.
Xuan Yuanzhan couldn't help but lean over and place a light kiss on her forehead: "Sleep peacefully."
As he leaned closer, his hot breath sprayed onto her forehead, a strange tingling sensation that made her instinctively close her eyes. His cool lips kissed her forehead, making her heart pound wildly.
After that, she never had the courage to open her eyes again.
Xuanyuan Zhan thought she was going to sleep, so he tiptoed out.
Only after the door closed did Su Xuening pull the blanket over her head.
She knew perfectly well that she had no right to let her imagination run wild at this moment, but this man...
Didn't we agree to stay away from women?
Why are you still so alluring?
