The next morning.
Luo Jiu awoke to the chirping of birds in the mountain trees. Wisps of mist clung to the tree trunks, obscuring the sky. Occasionally, a few drops of morning dew slid down the leaves, making a soft, dripping sound.
When Luo Jiu opened her eyes, she found herself at the entrance of a cave. Her whole body ached as if it had been run over.
"Ugh..." Luo Jiu struggled to get up, feeling sticky and uncomfortable all over. Reaching out, she discovered that she wasn't wearing her usual bright yellow robe, but a black one.
Surrounded by people, Gu Muchen was leaning against the stone wall, his face deathly pale. His brows were furrowed, and he had fallen into a coma.
Oh My God!
Luo Jiu rushed over and asked, "007, what's wrong with Gu Muchen?"
[The male protagonist was seriously injured yesterday, his wound became infected, and he took care of his master all night. This morning, he couldn't hold on any longer and fainted from the pain.]
Luo Jiu tore open the wounds tightly wrapped in her inner garment; her arms and waist were covered in deep cuts. They had been soaked in water, turned slightly white, and were swollen considerably.
007, do you think Gu Muchen will die from the pain if this continues?
After Luo Jiu finished speaking, she forced a smile and said, "Look at what nonsense I'm talking about. Gu Muchen is the male lead, a man with his own cheat codes. How could he die?"
[Master, the male lead won't die, but he might be burned stupid.]
-Meow meow meow? No way! Your cheat code is way too low-quality.
[Master, if the male protagonist gets burned and becomes mentally impaired, it will be automatically assumed that he no longer has the ability to destroy the world. This means your mission is complete, and you can proceed to the next world.]
Hearing what 007 said, Luo Jiu fell silent. Her original purpose in entering this system was to complete the mission as soon as possible and return to her original world.
But now, Luo Jiu hesitated.
Not far away, Gu Muchen's face was pale, his brows furrowed. His hands were clenched, veins bulging. Luo Jiu reached out and grasped his tightly clasped hands, but he pulled away unexpectedly.
Luo Jiu never knew that someone could remain so vigilant about their surroundings even when they were so seriously injured.
A strange emotion welled up inside me, like sadness.
If we don't save him, a dignified regent will be burned into an idiot. For such a proud person, what difference would it make if we killed him?
Besides, he became like this because of himself.
-007, I remember I still have a bottle of Tiger Balm as a reward I haven't used, right? Can it cure him?
Yes, Master. But have you really thought this through?
Give it to me.
【……bite】
A moment later, a small brown bottle appeared in Luo Jiu's hand.
Luo Jiu quickly applied the medicine to Gu Muchen's body.
Why isn't it responding?
Although this has the support of the system, it is just a panacea and has not yet reached the point of being an anti-human magic potion.
It will take a while to see results.
oh……
Seeing that Gu Muchen's condition had not improved, Luo Jiu went to clean and bandage his wounds, working up a sweat as she did so.
The man's skin was pale, suggesting he hadn't exercised in years, yet he didn't appear thin. Firm muscles covered his lower abdomen, creating a harmonious and refined beauty.
Luo Jiu couldn't resist reaching out to poke it; it really did have muscles. How did it manage to work out while studying in the study every day? And it even knew martial arts.
Gu Muchen, is there anything I don't know about you?
