"No..." Ji Xiaoxi quickly looked away, "I didn't expect you to be so good-looking." She was too embarrassed to look at him while he was in the water, and only now did she see his face clearly.
"That's right, in my hometown people call me Wu Yanzu of Sanlitun." Zu An was delighted to receive the beautiful girl's affirmation. He thought back to when Cheng Shouping mentioned that the eldest daughter of the Chu family wanted him as her son-in-law mainly because he was handsome. At the time, he thought Cheng Shouping was just flattering him. Now it seems that his good looks are a valuable commodity in this world.
"Who is Daniel Wu?" Ji Xiaoxi asked, her big eyes filled with confusion.
"He's a universally acknowledged handsome guy." Zuan couldn't help but reminisce. This world is great, but without cell phones and the internet, it's really a bit boring.
“Oh,” Ji Xiaoxi said suddenly, her face slightly flushed, “you’re not a good person.”
"Huh? Why?" Zu An was dumbfounded. Although the other party was a bit naive and innocent, she was definitely stronger than him in terms of personal strength. If he really angered her, it would be quite troublesome.
“You just said that you fell into the water because the Fierce Black Jackal was chasing you, but I just checked and there are no traces of the Fierce Black Jackal around here. Moreover, your clothes are neatly laid out on the shore. Obviously, you were very calm when you went into the water. It's definitely not what you said.” Ji Xiaoxi pointed to the marks on the ground and said. She was just a little naive, but that didn't mean she was stupid.
Zuan chuckled twice, but after getting to know him better over the time, he had a general idea of what kind of person he was. He quickly came up with a plan: "I didn't mean to lie to you. I was just worried that you would misunderstand because of the situation at the time, so I made up a reason. But I really was dizzy when I was swept there. I'm not lying to you about that."
"Really?" Ji Xiaoxi looked him up and down with some suspicion. "But you look perfectly healthy, not sick at all. Show me your hand."
"What?" Zu'an was a little confused, but the other person's demeanor made it hard to refuse, so he subconsciously reached out his hand.
Three cold fingers touched his pulse, and Ji Xiaoxi seemed to become a different person in that instant. The previously weak little girl instantly became aloof and unapproachable.
Even though Zuan was so sharp-tongued, he didn't say anything at the time, afraid of bothering her.
“So there’s something wrong with your Yin Meridian Sea,” Ji Xiaoxi said after a long while, withdrawing her fingers and looking at him with less wariness and more sympathy. “Unfortunately, I’m not skilled enough to know how to treat it, but don’t worry, my father should be able to cure it.”
Seeing her sympathetic gaze as she bent over, Zu An almost cried. No man wants a woman to know his vulnerable side. He had originally wanted to tease this cute girl a bit, but now her secrets had been exposed. He was utterly humiliated.
Zuan was filled with regret. If he had known this would happen, why did he give her his hand? But no one would have guessed that this little girl was actually a little miracle doctor.
Wait a minute, her surname is Ji, and she's also skilled in medicine. Could it be such a coincidence?
He tentatively asked, "May I ask who your father is?"
Ji Xiaoxi smiled sweetly: "My father is Ji Dengtu, who is quite famous in Mingyue City. You may have heard of him." If she was still somewhat wary before, after learning about the other party's illness, she was completely relieved and believed that the other party's act of watching her take a bath was indeed unintentional.
"Oh, Doctor Ji? I've heard of him." Zu An thought for a moment, but still didn't tell him that his trip out of the city was because of Doctor Ji's request.
"Don't worry too much. Come home with me, and I'll take you to see my father. He should have a way to treat you." Seeing his dazed expression, Ji Xiaoxi thought he was worried about his hidden illness and quickly comforted him.
“But I still need to collect dog treasures.” Zu An didn’t readily agree with her. He had seen how greedy Doctor Ji was in the city before, and how he kept calling his daughter a money-loser. If he didn’t complete the mission, he might not treat him.
Ji Xiaoxi hesitated, then said, "But with your strength, I'm afraid..." She was afraid that if she didn't say it directly, it wouldn't be that she looked down on her, but that her strength was just trash.
Zuan smiled and said, "I did have a bit of a headache before, but I found a solution after seeing you."
"Me?" Ji Xiaoxi hesitated. "But my strength is only at the third level. If I use dragon dung, those vicious and fierce black jackals will stay far away. As for sleeping potion, I've already used it all up to deal with the red-eyed rhinoceros."
Zu An thought to himself that it was a miracle that this girl had survived until now. She had revealed all her secrets to a stranger. Wasn't she afraid that he was a bad person?
However, considering that she knew about her hidden ailment, it was probably because of this that she was unprepared.
"Don't worry, I don't need your help. I can handle it myself." Zuan smiled mysteriously. "You said that Red-Eyed Rhino is very vengeful, right?"
“Yes,” Ji Xiaoxi nodded, then suddenly realized, “You want to use the Red-Eyed Rhinoceros to deal with the Fierce Black Jackal? Although the Red-Eyed Rhinoceros has thick skin and high defense, its speed is far inferior to that of the Fierce Black Jackal, so it will probably be difficult to kill them. Moreover, the leader of the Fierce Black Jackal seems to be at the third level. If it really comes down to a fight, the Red-Eyed Rhinoceros may not be a match for it.”
"I have another way." Zu An chuckled and hurriedly ran downstream. Ji Xiaoxi was full of doubts and followed him.
The two returned to the shore and found that the Red-Eyed Rhinoceros had begun to shake its head and was obviously starting to wake up. Although Ji Xiaoxi's drug was powerful, the amount was not large, and the rhinoceros was so big.
Zu An quickly asked Ji Xiaoxi, "Do you have a handkerchief?"
"Yes." Ji Xiaoxi subconsciously took out a clean white handkerchief and handed it to him.
