Li Lingge dipped his fingertips in the ointment and gently applied it to the wound on Wei Xiang's back.
The moment the medicine seeped into her skin, she suddenly tensed her body, her back stretched into a tight arc like a bowstring, and a suppressed sob escaped from her throat.
Her nails dug deep into Li Lingge's skin, causing even her shoulder blades to tremble slightly.
Li Lingge's eyes darkened slightly, and his movements became gentler. His fingertips slowly stroked the edge of the wound, as if he was afraid of breaking a fragile piece of porcelain.
"Wait until you recover from your injuries, and I'll go with you to kill that Netherworld Monster."
Wei Xiang tilted her head slightly, her hair falling down, covering half of her cheek.
She pursed her lips slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.
Li Lingge keenly noticed her hesitation, paused his fingertips slightly, and chuckled softly, with a hint of ridicule in his tone.
"Although I like the way you hesitate, it's not your character to keep your words to yourself."
How could Wei Xiang not hear the double meaning in these words?
She rolled her eyes at Li Lingge, but then her expression became serious, with a complex light flashing in her eyes.
"I found a fire spirit grass that is tens of millions of years old."
Li Lingge's fingertips suddenly stopped and his pupils shrank slightly.
"After searching high and low for something, I finally found it without any effort." His voice was deep and burning, filled with uncontrollable excitement. "Where is that Fire Spirit Grass?"
Wei Xiang was silent for a moment before speaking slowly.
"It's within the territory of that Netherworld Monster."
It turned out that she was so anxious to find Li Lingge that she was distracted and didn't realize that she had stepped into the territory of the Nether Monster.
It was not until the deafening roar of the beast resounded through the mountains and forests that she suddenly woke up.
And at that moment, she caught a glimpse of the Fire Spirit Grass out of the corner of her eye.
The grass leaves are as red as blood, with golden light flowing between their veins. Just by glancing at them from afar, one can feel the tremendous fire power contained in them.
A spiritual object from heaven and earth that is tens of millions of years old is enough to drive any cultivator crazy.
But at that time, she was only concerned about Li Lingge's safety and had no time to care about anything else.
She chose to withdraw without hesitation, unwilling to get entangled with Youming Zhe.
However, it was this moment of hesitation that cost her the price.
The sharp claws of the Nether Monster tore into her back, leaving these three hideous scars.
After listening to this, Li Lingge's eyes suddenly darkened.
"You were hurt by it because you were looking for me?"
Wei Xiang didn't answer, but just closed her eyes gently.
But her silence is the best answer.
Li Lingge's knuckles tightened slightly, and some indescribable emotions surged in his eyes.
"I want the Fire Spirit Grass." He spoke slowly, his voice low and dangerous, "I want Youming Zhe's life too."
Anyone who hurts her must pay with blood.
Li Lingge's fingertips went around the bandage and carefully passed across Wei Xiang's chest.
His movements were light, but he still inevitably touched the soft edge.
Every unintentional touch made Wei Xiang's breathing pause slightly, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly, casting a shadow under her eyes.
Her skin shone like pearls in the moonlight, but gradually turned a thin layer of red due to his touch.
Wei Xiang bit her lower lip tightly, trying hard to control herself from trembling too obviously.
But when his palm brushed against her collarbone again, she finally couldn't help but tense up her whole body, even her toes curled up unconsciously.
"Don't move."
Li Lingge's voice was a little deeper than usual, and his Adam's apple rolled unconsciously.
He forced himself to focus on bandaging, but the warmth from his fingertips made his heart beat faster and faster.
When the last knot was finally tied, Wei Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense body finally relaxed a little.
If she had not just soaked in the cold stream water, she would probably have lost control of herself at this moment. The heat rushing through her body almost broke through the cage of her reason.
She raised her hand slightly, but her fingertips accidentally touched a blazing edge.
As her eyelashes trembled, she could feel that the temperature of the stream water seemed to have risen a few degrees, emitting a scorching breath.
"Please help me refine another oral healing pill."
Wei Xiang suddenly spoke, her voice a little softer than usual, with a barely perceptible tremor.
She didn't dare look up, for fear that meeting his gaze would reveal too much emotion.
Li Lingge paused and his eyes fell on the tips of her red ears.
He suddenly understood something, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"What? The topical application isn't enough?"
"I..." Wei Xiang's fingertips twisted her hair unconsciously, "I think taking it internally is more effective."
The sound of the gurgling stream suddenly became extremely clear, and the air between the two people seemed to freeze.
Li Lingge's gaze lingered on Wei Xiang's red ear tips for a moment, and his eyes darkened.
He suddenly raised his hand, and his fingertips drew a mysterious trajectory in the air.
In an instant, immortal energy surged around him, and a translucent alchemy furnace shadow enveloped him.
Wei Xiang turned around, his chest heaving violently.
The touch that just came and went completely disrupted her heartbeat.
Wei Xiang's ears were burning even more. He put his hands on his chest, which was heaving violently, and felt his heart pounding against his chest at an alarming speed.
The touch just now seemed to still burn on her skin. His fingertips were so cold, but they ignited an unextinguishable fire in her.
Her red cheeks were reflected on the water. Wei Xiang bit her lip, then lowered her shoulders slightly, and her jade-like skin gradually sank into the water.
Ripples spread across the water surface, eventually swallowing her completely.
