Shao Heng subconsciously touched his face: "Miss, what's wrong?"
Xihe tried hard to suppress his laughter and coughed lightly: "Nothing. You are right, maybe it was the demons who killed my whole family." He actually took the blame on his own initiative. Young man, you probably don't know that you are a demon.
Shao Heng nodded, frowning in thought: "I wonder if those people are still in Yunzhou. Just in case, we need to leave as soon as possible after seeing the doctor."
Looking at her bandaged right arm, a flash of pain passed through his eyes, and he smiled and said, "It is said that the old doctor of Yuande Hall was once a royal physician in the palace. He has excellent medical skills and will definitely be able to cure you, young lady!"
Xihe smiled and nodded, but she knew in her heart that this trip was doomed to be in vain. The bones in her arm had continued to shatter, and even ordinary pills could not heal it, let alone mortal medicine. Moreover, her tendons and veins were also injured - her body suddenly hurt, and a stream of blood rushed into her throat. Xihe tried her best to suppress it and pushed the boy away.
"It's getting late, go get some rest."
"I'm here to watch over you."
"No need." Xihe couldn't hold back any longer and pushed him away. "I want to be alone."
Shao Heng fell silent for a moment, then pulled the quilt for her, turned around and left the room, closing the door. As soon as he left, Xihe could no longer suppress her breath and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Her chest suddenly felt unblocked. She let out a long breath and closed her eyes. "Clean it up."
"Oh, call me if you have something to do, and pretend I don't exist if you don't. Am I a dog that you can summon and dismiss at will?" The dog cursed and raised his paw to quickly wipe off the bloodstains on the quilt.
Xihe slowly opened his eyes, glanced at it, and chuckled: "Aren't you?"
Gouzi was immediately furious, and pointed his eyes at her angrily: "Xihe, let me tell you, I have a temper too!"
Xihe nodded, looking as if she was right. Gouzi gritted his teeth in anger, but the next second he saw her hunched over and coughing violently, almost coughing out her lungs. He couldn't help but frown: "Can you go on like this?"
Xihe collapsed on the bed, her body aching slightly. She took a breath and said, "The original owner had a Dongxu-stage cultivator who helped her cultivate her body. He perfectly integrated Shaoheng's heart, dantian, and tendons into her body, which gave her such good qualities later on. Now I only have a heart, and it has taken control of my body, devouring any spiritual energy that comes in like crazy."
"I can fix my right hand in one go, but the price is the destruction of this body."
Gouzi: "...Then there is nothing we can do?"
Its dog face wrinkled into a ball. It didn't want to give up this mission. This was the real world and the mission goal was so awesome. As long as it completed the mission, it could upgrade the system space and try more other tasks.
Xihe glanced at it and smiled: "You have to believe in the ability of rebellion."
Gouzi: ???
Xihe stopped talking and lay on the couch. After a while, his breathing became longer and longer.
The dog squatted quietly beside the bed and watched for a while, then jumped onto the bed, lay down at her feet, closed his eyes and curled up.
Outside the house, the bright moon was cold and lonely, and the moonlight poured down, illuminating the harmonious and quiet scene on the bed. Suddenly, the back door of the inn was quietly opened, and a thin figure flashed out. He looked in a direction and started running, and soon disappeared into the long night.
The next day, Xihe woke up and the inn was already very noisy. She went down the stairs and the old woman waved at her: "Here!"
Many eyes turned to her, their eyes full of amazement. Xihe's face remained calm as she walked through the crowd to the table by the window and sat down: "Where's Shaoheng?"
The old woman had a chicken drumstick in her left hand and a chicken wing in her right hand, her mouth full of oil. "I don't know, he was always sticking to you, but he didn't look for you."
Xihe looked at her indifferently. After arriving in Yunzhou City, the old woman was like a fish in water, becoming happier. She even wore a golden hairpin in her chicken coop-like head, and was not afraid of being robbed in the house in the middle of the night.
The waiter brought some tea and snacks, but Xihe had no appetite and kept looking out the window.
Baji, baji, the old woman ate with gusto.
Finally, Xihe's eyes lit up and he looked towards the door. After a while, the young man strode in.
"Where have you been so early in the morning?" She pulled him to sit down with some anger. Suddenly, she paused, and the next second she quickly pulled open Shaoheng's sleeve, revealing a hideous wound on his wrist.
Shao Heng thought to himself, "It's bad," when Xi He pulled at his sleeve, and quickly said in a flattering tone, "I just got hurt accidentally, it's really nothing."
Xihe's eyes were slightly red, and she stared at him: "Tell the truth!"
Shao Heng paused, his eyes dodging, but he finally couldn't stand the pressure and whispered, "I found someone to help you heal your injuries."
Speaking of this, his eyes lit up, "This man is said to be a fairy doctor. Although he has a strange temper, he has many elixirs in his hands. He can heal the living and turn bones into flesh. It's very magical! He will definitely be able to cure you!"
Xihe's eyes were complicated: "Just because of this?"
Shao Heng nodded, his eyes filled with guilt. "Ordinary medicine will take a long time to work on your injury, and it may not even heal you. However, the immortal elixir is different. Besides, the medical immortal only asked me to let him bleed a little, so Miss, you really don't have to worry."
Xihe was stunned, and pursed her pink lips slightly: "You are so good to me, but have you ever thought about what to do if you regret it one day?"
The old woman had been listening to the two people's conversation with her ears perked up. When she heard the sound, her triangular eyes, which were gleaming with a sly light, looked at them with great interest.
"How could I regret it?"
The boy's eyes were bright and shining: "As long as you are the eldest lady, I am willing to do anything!"
-
Before going to see the medical immortal, Shao Heng took Xihe to Yuande Hall for a consultation. The old doctor shook his head and said, "This injury can only be cured by immortal medicine. I am powerless." He prescribed some painkillers for them to relieve the pain.
After leaving the clinic, Shaoheng carefully protected Xihe to prevent her from being hit by pedestrians.
"I have asked the Medical Immortal for help, and I will ask him to help treat the disease tomorrow."
Xihe looked up at him, her eyes full of smiles: "Thank you Shaoheng, if it weren't for you, I..." She bit her red lips, frowned slightly, and a trace of sadness lingered between her brows.
Shao Heng's heart ached immediately: "Miss, please don't say that. If you hadn't blocked the sword for me, you wouldn't have been injured so badly. No matter how much I give, it's not enough to make up for the friendship you have shown me."
Xihe: ...Every time you mention this, I feel anxious.
She snuggled up to the boy and said, "Don't call me Miss anymore. I'm not a Miss anymore. Just call me Hua Shang."
Shao Heng agreed immediately. He had wanted to shout out this name openly for a long time. However, the young man leaned over, stared into Xi He's eyes and said seriously: "Miss, you will always be my Miss in my heart. This will never change in my life."
The boy was handsome, slightly thin, and his eyes were serious.
Suddenly Xihe discovered that in less than a month, the boy seemed to have grown taller, and she almost looked up at him.
Xihe curled her lips: "Okay."
