"A rhinoceros horn?" Chu Yi seemed to be pondering something, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I've never heard of it."
Nan Zhi clearly didn't believe her and pressed the sword even tighter. "Don't try to fool me. Don't think you can fool me just because you have a pretty face. Take it out, or I'll chop you up!"
"Really not." Chu Yi's face turned even paler, and he started coughing again, the cough getting worse and worse. Nan Zhi quickly moved away from him.
Looking at his excessively pale face, which hadn't regained any color despite coughing for so long, he appeared extremely weak, as if he were about to ascend to heaven at any moment.
"You...you won't cough yourself to death, will you?"
"No..." Chu Yi struggled to lift his eyelids and glance at her. Nan Zhi really thought everything was alright, but the next moment, blood spilled from the corner of his lips, which looked truly terrifying.
Seeing him swaying precariously, about to slip into the hot spring, Nanzhi sheathed her sword and wrapped her arms around his waist.
The water was hot, but he was colder than ice, and Nanzhi almost shivered from the cold.
Just as she was about to let go of him, he swayed and leaned against her shoulder.
"Hey! Hey!" Nan Zhi shook him, but he still didn't wake up. If he weren't still breathing, she would have almost thought he was dead.
Without thinking too much, she pulled the person out of the water. She picked up a clean piece of clothing from the side and was about to wrap the person in it when her eyes fell on something and she froze.
He was wearing underpants, but they were soaked through, and you could vaguely see his outline.
This is just too...too magnificent!
I never expected that he, who looked half-dead, would be so quite remarkable!
Honestly, they're both men, so why is her so...
It's true that you can't appreciate the difference without comparison.
Nanzhi felt it was unfair, but her face was flushed as she slowly wrapped his clothes around him, her hands intentionally or unintentionally brushing against certain places.
Nightblade, who was hiding in the shadows and concealing his aura, watched his master being harassed. If he hadn't remembered his instructions, he would have almost rushed out to stop it.
How could a grown man like her do this?
That's absolutely disgusting!
If the master knew, he would probably be furious.
Chu Yi is indeed suffering from a strange illness. Every time it flares up, his whole body turns ice cold, and no cure has been found despite searching for various remedies over the years.
If Nanzhi dares to take the opportunity to assassinate him, Nightblade will definitely kill her.
Fortunately, Nan Zhi didn't do anything. Even after she wrapped Chu Yi up in a ball, he still didn't warm up.
Seeing that his eyelashes were covered in frost and his breath was getting weaker and weaker, Nanzhi was really afraid that he would die and she would have to be a man for the rest of her life.
She gritted her teeth, helped him sit up, and began to circulate her inner energy into him.
After an unknown amount of time, he finally warmed up a bit and his face regained some color.
Nan Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief. She withdrew her hand, feeling that most of her internal energy had been drained, and she felt somewhat indignant again.
"You bastard, I've given you most of my true energy. If you don't give me the Spirit Rhinoceros Horn, I'll take your dog's life."
Chu Yi, who was just regaining some consciousness: ...
He woke up at the wrong time; he should sleep a little longer.
I kept my eyes closed, and soon I heard her yawn. After that, there was no sound, but I could faintly hear her breathing evenly as if she had fallen asleep.
He half-opened his eyes and saw her sitting in the chair, her chin resting on her hand, fast asleep.
Rhinoceros horn?
Is that the reason she came to the Eastern Palace so many times?
Is this thing important?
Chu Yi did not remember the existence of this medicine.
Judging from her skills, she doesn't seem like a respectable person, and her behavior is even less so.
And her face is so dark, what did she put on?
Nanzhi had just closed her eyes when she felt something touching her face.
She instantly snapped to her senses, grabbed the "murderer" in front of her, and glared at him fiercely: "You want to die?"
If she hadn't lost most of her true energy, the other party would never have been able to get close to her.
I thought it was some kind of guard, but I didn't expect to see Chu Yi instead.
He actually woke up?
What does it mean that the first thing I did after waking up was to touch her face?
This deadbeat homosexual, could he possibly have feelings for her?
Nan Zhi shuddered and immediately let go of him: "You homosexual, stay away from me!"
“You may have misunderstood,” Chu Yi said. “I am not interested in men.”
Nan Zhi bared her teeth, clearly disbelieving: "If you're not interested, why are you touching my face?"
Chu Yi looked completely innocent: "You had a caterpillar on your face, I was just removing it for you."
Upon hearing the name "caterpillar," Nan Zhi nearly jumped up, as if her hair had stood on end. "Where is it?"
She hates these hairy bugs the most; just hearing about them gives her the creeps, let alone seeing them crawling on her.
"It's lost." Chu Yi looked down and searched. "I don't know where it climbed off to."
The thought that they might be lurking around in some corner sent chills down Nan Zhi's spine. She stopped pursuing Chu Yi and hurriedly began searching for them.
Seeing how frightened she was, Chu Yi subtly curled a smile at the corner of his lips.
His fear of insects is quite typical of women, but his voice and Adam's apple don't quite fit the description.
He was very curious about what secrets she was hiding, and why he felt a strange sense of familiarity when he saw her, as if they had known each other for a long time.
I'm also curious, why did she come here to look for the rhinoceros horn?
Is it for oneself, or for others?
Nanzhi couldn't find it for a long time, which made her feel that the whole room was full of caterpillars.
She dared not stay any longer, and continued to hold her sword against Chu Yi, saying, "I'll give you one more day to prepare the Spirit Rhinoceros Horn. I'll come to collect it tomorrow. If you don't have it, I'll take your dog's life!"
Without waiting for Chu Yi's reply, he sheathed his sword and turned to leave.
Chu Yi watched her retreating figure disappear quickly, his gaze darkening slightly.
With such superb lightness skills, one would indeed dare to come here alone.
Even if she gets caught, she has the ability to escape.
He is indeed a rare talent.
Chu Yi smiled slightly and beckoned Ye Ren over to ask him a question.
"What did she do after I fell into a coma?"
Nightblade's face turned red and then black as he recalled the events.
As Chu Yi's most loyal bodyguard, he naturally wouldn't hide any clues.
So he honestly told the whole story.
He just told it in reverse chronological order.
Chu Yi was initially surprised to hear that Nan Zhi had channeled her inner energy into him, but upon hearing the rest, his face froze completely.
His lips were pressed tightly together: "What...what did you say?"
Seeing his shocked expression, Nightblade paused for a moment, then repeated, "She touched you..."
Nightblade dared not say exactly where he touched.
Judging from his expression, Chu Yi could guess what was going on without even asking.
Surprisingly, Nightblade didn't see him get angry.
He waved at him expressionlessly, "Get down."
Nightblade didn't dare ask anything and quickly retreated.
With no one else in the hot spring, Chu Yi helplessly rubbed his temples.
Is this guy gay?
Chu Yi had never thought he was interested in men, but after listening to Ye Ren's words just now, he inexplicably felt a surge of emotion.
An emotion I've never felt for anyone else before.
Perhaps he is gay?
