"Bear with it."
He whispered, his voice trembling unnoticed.
When the last layer of cover was removed, Wei Xiang's back was finally completely exposed in front of him.
Wei Xiang shuddered all over and bit her lips even harder.
Bright red blood oozed from her lips, standing out against her pale skin.
She would rather be unconscious at this moment, at least she wouldn't have to face such an embarrassing situation.
On the skin that was originally as flawless as white jade, three hideous claw marks ran diagonally from the right shoulder to the left waist, and the eerie white bones were vaguely visible where the flesh was rolled up.
The edge of the wound was a strange purple-blue color, obviously containing a strong poison.
Li Lingge's pupils suddenly shrank and his knuckles clenched unconsciously.
This injury couldn't have been caused by Eclipse, because the remaining demonic energy in the claw marks made him feel a palpitation.
After seeing the claw marks clearly, he understood why Wei Xiang was injured so badly.
These are the claw marks of the ancient ferocious beast Youming Zhe, a terrifying creature that is said to be able to tear apart the void.
"Did you encounter a monster?"
He asked in a deep voice, the porcelain wall of the medicine bottle in his hand creaking as he squeezed it.
Hearing Li Lingge's sudden question, her body stiffened noticeably, and her slender fingers tightly grasped the hem of her skirt.
She bit her thin lips, hesitated for a moment, closed her beautiful eyes again, and chose to pretend to be asleep.
Li Lingge's eyes fell on her tense back. Although the wounds were horrific, they could not hide the graceful lines of her shoulders and neck.
As she breathed rapidly, her butterfly bones rose and fell under her skin, as if they were about to flap their wings and fly away.
Li Lingge felt a sudden pain in his heart when he saw her reaction.
If he was by Wei Xiang's side and the two of them worked together, Wei Xiang would definitely not have been injured so badly.
"Perhaps you are right. I shouldn't have insisted on entering the Fuyao Secret Realm."
After hearing these words of self-blame, Wei Xiang finally stopped being silent.
"I was in a hurry to get on my way and got injured by the Netherworld Monster on the way. It's nothing serious."
Although the remaining evil spirit is still hindering the healing of the wound, that evil spirit is just a tree without roots and will eventually be worn away.
Li Lingge naturally understood why Wei Xiang was in a hurry to travel. He wanted to find Wei Xiang, and Wei Xiang was also in a hurry to find him.
"How did you escape from Eclipse?"
"She said I was the last Saint of the Moon Clan and gave me the Heart of the Moon." Wei Xiang raised her hand and placed it on her chest. "Then she...disappeared."
The corner of Li Lingge's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself: Since he is one of us, why do you want to kill him?
As if she had guessed what he was thinking, Wei Xiang suddenly smiled.
"She said that you would definitely become a scourge to the entire divine world in the future, and asked me to find an opportunity to get rid of you."
Li Lingge: ...
"Then you saved me."
Wei Xiang suddenly turned her head, their eyes met, and she spoke seriously.
"Even if you cause the divine world to fall into Ragnarok in the future, I will accompany you."
After saying that, she gently put her arms around Li Lingge's neck.
"Please help me clean the wound."
Li Lingge's throat rolled. Wei Xiang fell into a coma. He could indeed take action now that the other party was awake...
Wei Xiang looked at his back and said with embarrassment.
"I can't reach it myself."
Her breathing became more and more rapid, her fingertips trembled slightly, and she hooked the belt around Li Lingge's waist and pulled it gently.
The silky fabric slid down silently and piled up at her feet, and her clothes also fell to the ground, spreading out like snow.
The night breeze was cool, but the moment their skin touched, the scorching heat almost melted her.
Li Lingge put his arm around her waist and his other arm through her legs. With a little force, he lifted her up horizontally.
Her body was suspended in the air, and she could only cling to him tightly, her fingertips unconsciously digging into his shoulders and back, leaving shallow red marks.
The moonlight was like a veil, gently enveloping the two of them.
The gurgling stream shimmered with tiny silver lights, reflecting in Wei Xiang's moist eyes.
Li Lingge held her and stepped into the stream step by step. Ripples appeared on the surface of the water, and the cold water flowed over their ankles, calves, waist and abdomen, finally swallowing them completely.
Wei Xiang shuddered slightly, her skin tensed by the stimulation of the cold water, but Li Lingge's body temperature continued to warm her.
The stream water reached above their shoulders, leaving only their faces floating above the water.
She looked up at him, the moonlight outlining his features, his eyelashes drooping, his eyes incredibly dark, as if they were about to devour her.
The water rippled gently, and her long hair spread out like ink, wrapping around his arms.
His hands still held her steadily, his fingertips gently stroking her waist, causing a slight tremor.
"Is it cold?"
He asked in a low voice, his voice low and with a hint of suppressed hoarseness.
Wei Xiang shook her head, but her body honestly moved closer to him.
The water flowed between them, and every slight sway made their skin touch each other more closely.
Li Lingge lowered his head, his nose almost touching her earlobe, and his warm breath brushed across her sensitive neck.
"Does it hurt?"
His voice was very soft, but it made Wei Xiang's heart beat faster.
She bit her lower lip and didn't answer, just buried her face in the crook of his neck and let the water carry their weight.
The moonlight is still gentle, the stream is still flowing, and there is no longer any barrier between them.
