"Get out!"
Luo Jiu's scrutinizing gaze made Yan Ze somewhat embarrassed. He tried hard to control his voice, not uttering a sound that seemed out of place. He hated facing anyone's curious probing, which made him want to destroy them along with them.
However, he was unaware that, in Luo Jiu's eyes, his current appearance was utterly intimidating.
He looked at Luo Jiu, who was slowly walking towards him, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.
I clearly set up a formation in this bamboo forest, so why could she still get in?
What is the identity and background of this woman? First, she was wearing my Crimson Stone Chain, and now she can easily break through the formation I set up...
If they were sent by people from over there...
A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes, which he concealed well.
As he pondered, Luo Jiu walked up to him and slowly squatted down.
"Master, what's wrong? Why is your face so red?"
Luo Jiu was a little puzzled. Could it be that she had been soaking in the hot spring for too long, which was why her face was so red?
She reached her hand through the mist and into the water.
"hiss!"
Good heavens, this water is so cold, it's like ice water that just melted from a snow mountain, it's icy cold.
She looked at Yan Ze with the eyes of someone looking at a monster. This guy must be out of his mind. In this freezing weather, he takes a bath by soaking in ice water?
"Why are you still here? Get out, don't you understand?"
Yan Ze's handsome face was chillingly cold, and his eyes seemed to want to freeze Luo Jiu to death.
Although they had only known each other for a short time, Luo Jiu had never seen Yan Ze so angry. This was completely different from his usual lazy and cunning self; it was as if he was desperately suppressing something with his anger, suppressing a secret he didn't want Luo Jiu to know.
[Ding! Hidden quest triggered. Find out what Yan Ze is hiding. Time limit: 30 days. Quest progress: 0%. Quest reward: One Golden Pill. Note: A Golden Pill can instantly restore spiritual power.]
Luo Jiu: "..."
Now that's settled, even if Yan Ze tries to drive him away, he can't get rid of him.
Seeing that Luo Jiu had no intention of leaving, Yan Ze secretly tried to replenish his spiritual power with his hand hidden underwater. However, the beam of light dissipated before it could take shape.
Yan Ze frowned, and angrily struck the water, splashing water everywhere.
Tonight is that damned full moon night again...
"Master?"
Luo Jiu noticed that Yan Ze's gaze was becoming increasingly terrifying, as if he wanted to devour her alive and stir-fry her into meat.
She tried hard to suppress the fear in her heart, slowly reached out, wanting to help him up and win his favor.
She was completely unaware of how impolite it was for a woman to watch a man bathe and then refuse to leave.
Before Luo Jiu could even touch Yan Ze, he shoved her hand away forcefully.
The way he looked at Luo Jiu was as if he were looking at a dead object, devoid of any warmth.
Yan Ze struggled to get up, his thin shirt clinging tightly to his skin as he was out of the water, making him even more alluring.
The strong, well-defined muscles were just right, adding a sense of power to the body.
The man's skin was unusually fair, almost dazzlingly so, yet it had an unusual touch of light red, which made Luo Jiu blush instantly.
Why did this person just show up like that? But that body is really something, I really want to poke it...
Luo Jiu tried hard to suppress the slight flutter in her heart, but before she could calm down, she heard a "bang" behind her.
Luo Jiu turned around and saw that Yan Ze had already fainted on the ground, with an abnormal flush on his face.
Before Luo Jiu could react, her body moved uncontrollably toward Yan Ze.
"Yan Ze? Yan Ze? What's wrong with you!"
She slapped his face with her hand, but the shocking heat from his face made her pull her hand back.
How can it be so hot? Will it burn my brains?
To soak in ice water while running a fever, are you really trying to kill yourself?
She quickly helped him up. The weight of an adult on her shoulders felt like it was about to crush Luo Jiu.
Luo Jiu frowned, looked at Yan Ze whose face was flushed, and sighed helplessly.
"I never expected that someone who looks so thin and weak would be so heavy... If it weren't for the fact that your face is somewhat good-looking, I would have let you lie here..."
"Serves you right for being mean to me!"
After saying that, still angry, she reached out and pinched his waist hard.
Hearing the man's unconscious groan, she seemed startled and withdrew her wicked hand.
After walking a few steps, I saw a small bamboo house deep in the bamboo forest. It was fully equipped with all kinds of daily necessities, and there were signs that someone had lived there.
Luo Jiu breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, someone lived here; otherwise, with her small frame, carrying this person down would have been a pipe dream.
Luo Jiu settled Yan Ze on the bed, reached out, and tried to probe Yan Ze's body with the spiritual energy in her hand to find out what was going on.
A pale green ball of light flashed in her hand. She reached inside and, without any resistance or opposition from Yan Ze's divine sense, it was instantly absorbed.
Yan Ze's body was like a dried-up river, absorbing everything that could nourish it.
Luo Jiu looked incredulous. There was nothing written in the books about cultivators being able to absorb the spiritual power of others.
She sent her spiritual energy in again, puzzled, but the result was the same.
After two such attempts, Luo Jiu hadn't discovered anything, and her spiritual energy had been almost completely depleted.
Luo Jiu gave up the idea of using spiritual power to find out what was going on, and could only use an ancient and traditional method to cool him down, commonly known as covering him with a cooling towel.
The soft moonlight shone down, illuminating that face that was so beautiful it seemed otherworldly, and stirred a strange feeling in my heart.
Even though I'm not bad-looking myself, why am I so powerless against this face?
Luo Jiu couldn't understand it; perhaps this was what was known as force majeure.
This was the second time Luo Jiu had carefully examined Yan Ze's sleeping face. Just like last time, the man's lips were tightly pursed when he slept, and he was in a tense state, full of defensiveness.
Luo Jiu couldn't understand why someone would make their life so exhausting, constantly tense up, even while sleeping...
Taking care of someone is an extremely long and tedious job, and it's also incredibly boring.
Luo Jiu didn't know why such a powerful man as Yan Ze would suddenly faint. He must have driven her away before to cover up the fact that something was wrong with his body.
Luo Jiu stared intently at Yan Ze's sleeping face with her large, brown eyes, idly playing with her hair.
A strange light flashed in his eyes.
She knew that Yan Ze would thank her profusely when he woke up, given how much effort she had put into taking care of him.
Wen Zhaobai's side made no progress, but he was unusually obedient to Yan Ze's words, which he called attacking from the side to break through the enemy's defenses.
Looking at Yan Ze sleeping soundly on the bed, Luo Jiu's gaze became increasingly intense, like a drooling wolf wanting to devour Yan Ze whole.
Hehe~
