Remembering the pain he felt when he struck the opponent's head, he didn't choose the head this time. Instead, he took the longsword and stabbed it through the eye in the shoulder.
This thing looks so bizarre that who knows if its head is even a real head? Anyway, logically speaking, the eyes shouldn't be too far from the head.
"Waaaaah!" The entire sword was almost completely embedded in its body, and the Taotie let out an extremely shrill scream.
Then his whole body stiffened, and finally he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Zaun withdrew its sword, and countless disgusting liquids gushed from its eyeballs, scorching the surrounding land.
"Fortunately, the Tai'a sword is of exceptional quality. Any other sword would probably have been corroded beyond recognition by its blood." Zu'an sheathed the sword, and without even bothering to examine the Taotie's corpse, he hurriedly ran over to check on Pei Mianman's condition.
Pei Mianman had been watching his battle with Taotie with great effort, and she was worried sick when she saw him in danger several times. She only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him kill Taotie.
However, once she lost her breath, she could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Zuan quickly picked her up: "Manman, Manman!"
Pei Mianman struggled to open her eyes, a slight smile appearing on her lips: "Azu, you are really amazing. You were able to kill such a terrifying monster."
Normally, Zu An would definitely make a few jokes, but now, seeing the terrible wound on her shoulder, he couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness and couldn't muster any teasing intentions at all: "Manman, stop talking and save your strength."
Pei Mianman shook her head in his arms: "Anyway, I'm going to die soon, and if I don't speak now, I'll never be able to speak again... Actually, I have so many... so many things I want to say to you, but after thinking about it... I think that telling you now would only... only add to your troubles, so it's better not to say anything... I just wish you and Chu Yan a happy... happy..."
Seeing her eyes gradually dimming, Zu An hurriedly said, "I won't let you die, I won't let you die!"
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind. He quickly took out a bright red glass bottle and poured all the liquid inside into her mouth, while nervously murmuring to himself, "Manman, you must hold on, you must hold on!"
Unfortunately, Pei Mianman eventually closed her eyes.
Zuan felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. Holding her, he murmured to himself, "Why did I only just remember that I had a bottle of 'Brother Xin Chun'? If I had let you take it a second earlier, you might not have died."
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault. You were so beautiful and talented, you had such a bright future ahead of you. If you hadn't come to rescue me, you wouldn't be dying here..."
...
Zu An held her in his arms, heartbroken, pouring out his heart. The scene of their first meeting flashed through his mind: her alluring peach blossom eyes, her affectionate smile, as if it were yesterday; the way they became friends after a fight in Chu Chuyan's room; how she secretly sneaked into his room at night to teach him martial arts; and all the ways she had accompanied him along the way…
The more he thought about it, the more heartbroken he became. He hugged the other person tightly and burst into tears.
"Ouch, it itches! Your snot is dripping down your collar." A cheerful voice came from that moment.
Zuan straightened up in disbelief, looked down, and saw a smiling face looking at him, those watery peach blossom eyes as charming and affectionate as ever.
"You...you're not dead?" Zu'an asked, somewhat incredulously.
"Do you want me to die?" Pei Mianman snorted. "What kind of magic potion was that? It pulled me back from the brink of death."
"That's an elixir of immortality bestowed upon me by an immortal," Zu'an laughed heartily.
"An elixir of immortality?" Pei Mianman was taken aback. "Then wouldn't that mean you could grant immortality to many people around you?"
Zuan shook his head: "This is the only bottle we have right now, but there might be more in the future..."
Before he could finish speaking, Pei Mianman's expression changed: "You gave me your only bottle of elixir?"
Zuan laughed and said, "Just kidding, it's not some kind of elixir of immortality."
Pei Mianman pursed her lips: "This medicine can bring the dead back to life. Even if it's not an elixir of immortality, it's not far off. You actually used it on me. I really don't know how to repay you."
"Hmph, repay me!" Zuan slapped her butt in annoyance. "Weren't you already better? Why didn't you say anything and just watch me be so sad?"
Pei Mianman let out a soft moan, her pretty face already flushed red. She gave him a coquettish look, but there was no blame in her eyes: "I did fall into a coma at first, and then gradually woke up. I'm glad that happened, otherwise, how would I know how important I am to you?"
As she spoke, she gazed at him tenderly. Zu An saw her rosy cheeks and thought she looked even more beautiful than usual, and he was momentarily stunned.
"Oh dear~" Pei Mianman suddenly exclaimed.
"What's wrong?" Zu'an asked hurriedly, worried that something was wrong with her health.
Pei Mianman turned to her shoulder: "My shoulder is very itchy where it's injured. Can you take a look and see what's wrong?"
She still remembers the horrific wound on her shoulder; the corrosive blood of the Taotie had ravaged her body, and she still feels terrified when she thinks about it now.
Zuan gently poked her wound: "Does it hurt? Don't worry, after taking my elixir, even if you lose your arms or legs, they will grow back."
He had experienced it firsthand; the injuries he had sustained were far more numerous than those Pei Mianman had ever seen, yet he had still recovered.
"It really doesn't hurt anymore," Pei Mianman said with some surprise. She moved her arm and could clearly feel that the emptiness there was gone, indicating that it had returned to normal. However, she immediately had another worry. "Could you help me take off my clothes and see if there are any scars left?"
Let alone a stunning beauty like her, any woman would cherish her skin and be afraid of having even the slightest flaw.
"Oh~" Zuan subconsciously reached out to her shoulder, then suddenly hesitated, "I'm afraid this isn't a good idea. Men and women shouldn't touch each other."
Although the red bottle could restore her life force, it couldn't repair her clothes. The area of her clothes on her shoulder was already torn, and if it were untied, it would easily slip down. He didn't want to be misunderstood as a pervert.
Pei Mianman chuckled: "You're always so flirtatious, you were just hugging and cuddling me, and now you're acting like a gentleman?"
"I was just trying to save you. Besides, I'm a gentleman..." Zu'an became more and more guilty as he spoke.
Pei Mianman looked at him tenderly: "Silly boy, our relationship is already like this, what difference would it make if you saw it?"

Today I've combined the content of the two chapters into one large chapter.
I have a question about life that I need to answer from you all, my fellow readers: why are there so many stunningly beautiful women around the protagonist, while in reality, I have very few pretty girls around me, let alone any?
