Chapter 52: The Frail Beauty Whose Life Was Extended by the Immortal Cultivator (7)
Xiao Yuheng took a small step back, his hands hanging naturally, an apologetic look on his face, and said softly, "Miss, please forgive me for any offense I may have just caused. To be honest, I do have some knowledge of medicine."
"Just now I saw that you looked thin and pale, and you seemed to be ill and troubled. I was so anxious that I couldn't help but want to relieve your pain."
Hearing this, Qing Wu's beautiful eyes instantly gleamed with light, and she asked expectantly, "So, sir... do you think my illness can be cured?"
Qingwu has been extremely weak since childhood. She has been bedridden for many years and suffered from illness.
Not only that, she has been an orphan since childhood and has been lonely and helpless. Ever since she could remember, she has been living and growing up in this remote small courtyard.
Due to being isolated from the outside world for a long time, Qingwu knows very little about worldly affairs. Every day she can only keep company with the flowers, plants, birds and animals in the yard.
However, despite this, deep down in her heart she still longed to recover her health, to walk out of this small yard, and to experience the vast and wonderful world outside. At the same time, she also urgently wanted to find out about her own life experience - why was she always alone?
Xiao Yuheng stared at the clear eyes of the girl in front of him and took another step forward involuntarily. At this time, the distance between the two had become extremely close.
He nodded slightly, his tone firm, as if he was confident. "Yes."
After hearing the news, Qing Wu's eyes, which had been dimming slightly, suddenly shone brightly. She asked with a look of surprise, "Really?"
Because she has always lived away from the hustle and bustle of the world, Qingwu knows nothing about the secular boundaries between men and women.
Therefore, when Xiao Yuheng approached her so obviously across the normal social distance, she did not show the slightest concern or resistance. In her mind, she only had the good news that made her excited - there was actually a possibility that she could be cured!
However, just a moment later, Qingwu's expression became worried again.
She lowered her eyes gently, and her beautiful eyes revealed deep sorrow.
The slightly furrowed brows made Xiao Yuheng, who was watching her from the side, feel so distressed that his heart almost broke into pieces.
"Will the treatment cost a lot of money? I don't have any money..."
Xiao Yuheng was stunned when she heard this, but then she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that this was the very thing she was worried about, which had made her so nervous just now.
Then, a gentle smile appeared on Xiao Yuheng's face again, and he said softly, "Don't worry, you don't need to spend money."
But Qingwu obviously didn't believe what he said, and her beautiful eyes were full of confusion and doubt.
Seeing this, Xiao Yuheng paused for a moment, then deliberately put on an earnest look and slowly said, "May I know your name, young lady? My name is Xiao Yuheng. Unfortunately, I was bitten by a poisonous snake today. I am currently unable to move and will not be able to return home for a while."
"So I'm begging you to give me a place to stay. Of course, I'll treat you in return."
Seeing Qing Wu's more suspicious look, Xiao Yuheng remained calm. After a brief pause, he continued, "I will do everything I can to properly handle all matters concerning the medicinal herbs. I hope you don't need to worry about this. Right now, I just need you to provide me with a place to stay."
Hearing this, Qing Wu couldn't help but frown, her face showing difficulty and distress. She sighed softly and said, "But... Young Master, you have seen it with your own eyes. I only have this dilapidated courtyard here."
Although she had never seen it before, she could tell from the material and workmanship of the clothes Xiao Yuheng was wearing that they were definitely not ordinary items, and even gave off a faint sense of fairy spirit.
Moreover, the jade pendant on her waist is crystal clear, smooth and flawless, unlike any ordinary item.
The man was handsome, and his every move showed elegance and nobility, like a spoiled nobleman. How could he live in her dilapidated courtyard?
"It's okay." Faced with Qingwu's words, Xiao Yuheng did not respond directly, but slowly turned his gaze to the seemingly inconspicuous small courtyard in front of him.
His eyes first quickly scanned the layout and environment of the entire yard, and then inadvertently revealed a subtle hint of tenderness.
He thought to himself: Such a stunningly beautiful woman should be carefully cared for and protected with the most rare and precious treasures in the world, but she is hidden in such a small courtyard, letting the pearl be covered in dust.
Fortunately, he was lucky enough to have the opportunity to encounter such a rare treasure. In the future, he will definitely hold it carefully in his hands and cherish it.
Even though this place is remote and hidden deep in the mountains and forests, at least it is because of this that a beautiful woman like Qingwu can survive safely in this dangerous world.
There are many treasures in his Qiankun bag, and he can definitely redecorate this small courtyard and reluctantly let Qingwu live there. When she recovers from her illness, he will take her back to Wansheng Sect, give her the best of everything, and become her Taoist partner.
Taoist Companion...
When he thought of these two words, a faint blush instantly passed across his originally handsome face, and his affectionate eyes became more and more sentimental.
Before this, he had never imagined that one day such words would come out of his mouth.
And just thinking about it like this, his heart was filled with endless sweetness and anticipation.
In order to make Qingwu accept him as soon as possible, he completely let down his guard.
Xiao Yuheng picked up two inconspicuous little blades of grass from the side of the road, and then used his spiritual power to quickly crush the two blades of grass into powder.
Then, he deliberately showed Qingwu the wound from being bitten by the little snake.
As expected, when Qing Wu saw the shocking wound on Xiao Yuheng's arm, she couldn't help but frown tightly, her face full of heartache.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yuheng secretly rejoiced in his heart: She is indeed a gentle and kind-hearted girl.
Then, Xiao Yuheng carefully and carefully applied the crushed herbs on the wound.
Not long after, the wound that was originally bleeding recovered in the blink of an eye, as if it had never been injured.
Xiao Yuheng looked at Qingwu, who had never seen such a scene before, with a calm expression and a look of shock on her face. In his clear eyes, a mixture of hope and surprise suddenly emerged.
At this moment, Qing Wu was staring at him intently, her eyes filled with eager expectation and deep admiration.
