Li Jingxing was still able to laugh: "I'm fine, Fufu, please continue."
After that, Li Jingxing never closed his eyes, staring intently at Fu Bai.
It was as if Fu Bai was his painkiller, allowing him to forget all his pain.
Before cutting open Li Jingxing's wrist, Fu Bai couldn't help but lean down and kiss his pale lips, comforting him, "Hang in there a little longer, it'll be over soon."
Li Jingxing: "Okay."
Along with his words came the dagger in Fu Bai's hand.
Without hesitation, he slashed Li Jingxing's wrist, and blood gushed out instantly.
Fu Bai moved quickly but without any sign of panic. He poured the prepared medicine onto Li Jingxing's bleeding wrist.
The moment the medicine touched the wound, the blood stopped flowing immediately.

Fu Bai chuckled, understanding the meaning behind Li Jingxing's eyes, and realizing that the prince was feigning helplessness.
But he still lay down next to Li Jingxing, fully clothed, and said, "Don't worry, I'll sleep with you."
Li Jingxing pulled the person into his arms, and smelling the faint herbal fragrance on Fu Bai's body, he quickly fell asleep.
He slept for a whole night and a whole day, and when he woke up again it was already evening of the next day.
Before Li Jingxing could even feel his body free from the Gu worms, he received news from Uncle Chen—
The princess has run away!
