Upon hearing this, Li Xi was taken aback at first, then chuckled, "The way you're acting, you look like a child who's done something wrong and is waiting for the teacher to punish them."
The two looked at each other and smiled, seemingly relieved.
But recalling how Li Xi had gone mad with qi just now, a wave of fear crept into his heart again.
She really couldn't understand what was going on with this body, or why it would automatically fall into that almost frenzied fighting state after being injured.
All she remembered was a bloodthirsty desire driving her to kill and conquer, as if only in those endless battles could she find a moment of peace.
The power of the Mingxing Star has merged with the nameless true energy within her body, making her feel incredibly smooth every time she circulates her energy.
Moreover, according to the diagnoses of her maternal grandmother, Lan'er, and Huang Banxian, there was nothing wrong with her health.
At this critical moment, the only thing to do is to protect yourself and reduce the possibility of injury.
Could we make a piece of armor to wear close to the skin?
She pondered to herself and decided to make a suit of armor that would suit her cultivation level and also protect her from external forces.
My thoughts are in turmoil; perhaps we can draw inspiration from bulletproof vests of later generations.
"Xiaoxi, what are you thinking about?" Qin Xiaolin couldn't help but ask softly when he saw her serious expression.
"Oh? No, I was just thinking about what to eat. I've been eating dry rations for days, so I'd like a bowl of scallion oil noodles," she said casually.
At this moment, the prefect brought over a female doctor, who was sent by Prince An.
"Young master, the person His Highness Prince An sent has arrived." The prefect gestured for the female physician to step forward.
Only Li Xi and the female doctor remained in the room.
"Doctor, thank you so much." She couldn't stand the blood-soaked clothes any longer and forced herself to sit up.
Seeing this, the female doctor hurriedly stepped forward to help her take off her upper garment, "Young master..."
Before he could say anything, he understood when he saw the fullness of her chest.
"Could you please bandage the wound on my back for me?"
The room was dimly lit. The female doctor took out clean gauze from her medicine box and began to carefully treat the wound on Li Xi's back.
After leaving the capital, Li Xi always wore men's clothing and never wore the attire of a saintess.
After bandaging her wound, she helped Li Xi change into clean clothes.
"Thank you," Li Xi said softly.
The female doctor smiled slightly, "Young master, you are too kind. I will come again tomorrow to change your dressing."
"good."
After dealing with the Red Shirt Army, Qi Yu also arrived at the government office.
Just then, I saw Li Xi enjoying her meal, and there were several empty bowls on the table. "You seem to be eating quite heartily. You should be alright now, right?"
He was afraid that Meng Zhelan would blame him, so he was anxious to see how Li Xi was doing.
After finishing the last bite of noodles, she put down her chopsticks with satisfaction. "Hmm, it's barely passable. But Your Highness, you've actually learned to care about a commoner like me?"
This person was kind to Lan'er, but indifferent to everyone else. But that didn't matter; what mattered was that he was kind to Lan'er.
Faced with the teasing from Meng Zhelan's close friends.
Qi Yu coughed lightly, trying to hide his unease. "You're a major contributor, so naturally you deserve more attention."
"How is Black Wolf? Has he confessed?" Li Xi asked seriously.
He shook his head: "No, they're very stubborn. We've used every kind of torture, but they still refuse to reveal the cult leader's whereabouts."
This man was a bandit leader in Jingcheng back in the day, and he caused them a lot of trouble.
Unexpectedly, he was a spy planted by the Red Lotus Cult leader to serve Prince Liang.
His second brother was truly foolish; he actually conspired with a tyrant for power. His current predicament can only be attributed to their father's consideration for family ties.
According to convention, treason and betrayal are punishable by beheading.
"Then let's ignore him. The most important thing now is to take back Zhiliang City."
Hongying led a few people to Luocheng. The situation was tense, and everyone who could help came.
Upon hearing that Li Xi was injured, Hong Ying and Meng Zhelan were heartbroken.
Meng Zhelan: "How could you be so careless and hurt yourself again? Sit down quickly so I can take a look."
The wound on my back has mostly healed, with new granulation tissue filling the original opening.
But what's strange is that some kind of pattern seems to be faintly emerging on Li Xi's entire back.
She exclaimed in surprise, "Senior, come and take a look! What is that on Xiaoxi's back?"
“This…this pattern, I seem to have seen similar records in ancient books.”
Hongying's voice carried a hint of disbelief, "Legend has it that only those who are destined for greatness will have such marks left on their bodies after undergoing life-or-death trials."
However, she paused, frowned slightly, and added, "However, most of the records in these ancient books are regarded as strange tales and legends."
Perhaps her Jin'er used some method to draw the pattern on Xiao Xi's back, "It must have been soaked in blood before it slowly appeared."
She looked at Li Xi and asked solemnly, "Xiao Xi, when you were little, did your mother ever draw any special patterns on your back?"
Li Xi shook her head gently, looking somewhat confused, and said, "No, but even if something did happen, I don't remember it."
For a person's memory, if it happened when they were one or two years old, it is indeed difficult to leave a deep impression.
After all, people's cognitive and memory abilities were still very limited at that time, and many things would gradually fade away with the passage of time.
So even if something happened in the past, she has difficulty recalling it.
Hongying remembered that there were many ancient books in their stone chamber.
After giving Li Xi a few instructions, she hurriedly rode the golden eagle back to the village.
There were too many things to prepare, so Li Xi couldn't leave. She could only instruct Chen Quan to take good care of her grandmother.
In order to perfectly replicate Black Wolf's appearance, Meng Zhelan applied the best anti-swelling cream to his face and then used scar removal cream to remove the scars on his face.
She carefully applied the ointment to each wound, making sure it was evenly distributed on the skin.
After two days of treatment, the swelling on Black Wolf's face began to subside, and the scars gradually disappeared.
His face gradually became clearer, and he looked completely different from before.
But this person looked familiar. "Is it him?" Meng Zhelan muttered to herself.
"You know him too?" Li Xi asked in surprise.
"He's the one who kidnapped me back in the Hidden Forest." She finally remembered, though she seemed to have seen him before, but couldn't quite place him.
"Oh, it's him again. This guy is really capable." Li Xi exclaimed in amazement.
At this moment, Black Wolf was chained to the bed board, and for convenience, he had already been drugged.
Du Yifei came in carrying a large box. "Master, how many sheets of noodles do you want this time? I've brought all the equipment."
"Two of these people's, one of mine, and those three people." Li Xi pointed to the three people in the next cell.
She was pointing to the three protectors of the Red Lotus Sect. Why only three? Because the protector who suggested setting fire to the grain supplies was one of their own!
