Zuan reacted quickly, hurriedly saying, "Oh, it's probably the smell of this ointment."
After speaking, he pointed to the Five Herbs and Hundred Flowers Cream by the bedside.
Yan Xuehen glanced at it and said with some surprise, "Huh, this medicine seems to be a rare and excellent healing product."
With her discerning eye, she could naturally tell whether a medicine was good or bad.
Zu An laughed and said, "It was a gift from a good friend."
Upon hearing the words "good friend," Xiaoqing in the closet couldn't help but smile sweetly.
Xiao Bai thought she was referring to the Hundred Herbs Pill she had given him, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.
Neither of them could see the other clearly, but their hearts were pounding.
It's only because Yan Xuehen is currently seriously injured and weak that she was able to discover the two of them immediately, given her cultivation level.
"It was probably a gift from a snake-woman." Yan Xuehen felt inexplicably irritated, especially when he recalled how those snake-woman women had been so enthusiastically throwing themselves at him at the banquet, and how he had accepted them all without hesitation.
Anger from Yan Xuehen: +53 +53 +53...
Zu An thought to himself, "Isn't the Supreme Forgetfulness Chapter you're cultivating? Why are you getting angry so easily lately?"
Of course, he wouldn't be foolish enough to ask directly. He quickly changed the subject, saying, "Could you please help me apply the medicine? I'm having some trouble by myself."
Yan Xuehen was somewhat taken aback, and her expression immediately became a little unnatural.
In the past, no man would have dared to make such a condition in front of her, and she would never have had any physical contact with a man.
But this guy seemed to treat her like family at all.
Years of habit made her instinctively refuse: "No way!"
"Oh~" Zuan sighed regretfully.
Seeing his disappointed expression, Yan Xuehen's heart softened. She suddenly realized that a large part of the reason he was fighting this battle today was for her and Yun Jianyue, because the Golden Crow Prince had taken a liking to them. He had suffered such serious injuries for her sake...
Thinking about it this way, she suddenly felt a little guilty. She sat down on the edge of the bed and picked up the Five Herbs and Hundred Flowers Cream: "Take off your clothes."
Zuan was taken aback. He had only said it casually to distract the other party, but he didn't expect the other party to actually agree.
Without thinking, he took off his clothes again.
Looking closely at the other person's body, Yan Xuehen's jade cheeks flushed slightly. She thought to herself that if this guy dared to say anything more about owing him another time, she would definitely turn against him.
Fortunately, Zu'an didn't say anything this time, which relieved her. She then began to apply the medicine to him with her cold fingers.
Touching the other person's burning hot skin, she couldn't help but tremble. It took her a while to regain her composure: "Your wounds seem to have been properly treated."
Zuan said without batting an eye, "The wound is still difficult to treat. It's good that you're here, so I'll have to trouble you."
His words gave the other person the illusion that he had just applied the medicine himself.
Yan Xuehen snorted: "Yu Yanluo is really something. She is a clan leader, and she doesn't even send anyone to take care of you."
Xiaoqing, inside the wardrobe, was indignant. She was the one who was originally supposed to apply medicine to her brother Zu, but now this woman had taken over her place.
However, when she heard her directly criticize Yu Yanluo, both she and Xiaobai beside her were stunned.
I originally thought she was the eldest brother's concubine, the younger sister of the clan chief's wife, but judging from this, she doesn't seem to be.
Zuan chuckled awkwardly, "Yanluo sent someone, but I'm not used to being waited on, so I sent her away."
Hearing him call her "Yanluo" so affectionately, Yan Xuehen suddenly felt a surge of irritation.
Anger from Yan Xuehen: +58 +58 +58...
"Hiss~" Zuan gasped.
Yan Xuehen then realized that she had accidentally touched his wound with too much force. Feeling a little apologetic, she became even gentler, but refused to admit it at all: "I have a question that you need to answer honestly."
Zuan suddenly sighed: "I know what you're going to ask, but you have to promise not to get angry after you hear it."
Upon hearing his words, Yan Xuehen panicked. Could it really be as she had guessed?
At this moment, Zu'an's voice continued: "That's right. When I was on the verge of life and death, I didn't care about anything else. I used whatever tricks I had and I'm really sorry for the harm I caused you."
Yan Xuehen trembled all over: "Then why did you deny it when I asked you last time!"
Anger from Yan Xuehen: +555 +555 +555...
Zuan smiled wryly and said, "It wasn't convenient to tell you the truth at the time."
Yan Xuehen's expression turned cold: "Now that you know I'm injured and not your match for the time being, you dare to tell the truth?"
“That’s not what I meant,” Zuan shook his head. “Actually, I could have kept this from you all along, but I still don’t want to lie to you.”
Yan Xuehen knew he was telling the truth. If he kept denying it, even if she had suspicions, she would have no evidence.
But the whole thing is still too absurd: "What, should I thank you for your honesty?"
"Well, you can thank me if you want," Zuan said with a "shy" look.
Yan Xuehen: "???"
She pinched Zu'an hard in anger; how could this guy be so shameless?
Anger from Yan Xuehen: +66 +66 +66...
Zu An let out a miserable scream, which infuriated the two girls in the closet. How could this woman be so fierce? Brother Zu was still injured!
If they hadn't been hiding in the closet and couldn't explain it, they probably would have rushed out and confronted the other party.
Yan Xuehen took a few deep breaths, temporarily suppressing her surging emotions, and said coldly, "Is your skill a Gu technique?"
