After a moment of stunned silence, the man quickly took out some pills and explained, "My ancestor imprisoned me and forbade me to see you. It was... it was True Monarch Luo Sheng who helped me escape. Don't be afraid, I will definitely rescue you..."
His eyes were red, and his handsome, fair face was quickly stained with tears. His tightly clenched lips were slightly pale, and even the hand that was pouring the medicine was trembling.
Bi Xie knew how badly she was injured, but she held back her tears. This kid, however, cried.
She sighed softly, "I've given you too much. Just give me a few healing pills; the rest will be useless to me."
Wu Zhan hesitated for a moment, tears glistening on his snow-white face, as if he was forcibly suppressing something, and then handed the Li Gu Dan to Bi Xie.
Bi Xie chuckled lightly and helplessly spread out his two bloody, mangled hands to show him.
"You feed me, don't dirty this medicine for no reason."
The man looked at her two hands, neither of which were intact, and his eyes reddened even more. His dark, bright eyes flickered with heartache, and his fingertips trembled slightly when they touched the woman's dry, chapped lips.
Despite the fact that it wasn't a soft touch, and could even be described as somewhat prickly, he withdrew his fingers as if he had been electrocuted.
It was as if we had encountered some taboo.
Bi Xie glanced at the man's slightly pink cheeks, noticing the blush spreading all the way to his ears, but made no attempt to tease him.
This isn't the first time he's been so easily embarrassed.
After taking the Li Gu Dan, the pain in her body lessened slightly, but the poisonous fire in the Fire Poison Cave had been invading her body for too long, and it was not something that could be cured by just a few Li Gu Dans.
Especially the place where the Dragon Bone Soul-Destroying Nails were driven into, it felt like being pierced by a hail of arrows, the pain was excruciating.
Bi Xie took a few breaths, then lifted his eyelids to look at the man who looked somewhat embarrassed: "How is it outside now?"
"All factions have dispatched personnel to search for the whereabouts of Demon Ancestor Ji Gui. True Lord Feng Xie... if you know the whereabouts of that demon... Ji Gui, then speak up. As long as you reveal Ji Gui's whereabouts, I believe the True Lords will no longer make things difficult for you. Why, why protect that demon..."
Wu Zhan Zhenjun pursed his thin lips, and because Bi Xie was half-lying on the ground, he also lifted his robe and knelt on the ground.
His dark green satin robe was slightly open due to his posture, revealing the silver openwork hibiscus trim inside.
If anyone else had said those words to her, Bi Xie would have given up and remained silent.
But when faced with Wu Zhan's concerned expression, Bi Xie only shook his head and sighed, "It's no use telling me, they won't believe me. You should go back soon, thank you for the pills."
"I believe you!" Wu Ling's eyes were fixed on Bi Xie, and she emphasized again, "I believe whatever you say! As long as Sister Xiao Feng says it, Wu Zhan will believe it!"
Bi Xie blinked, looked at him for a while, and suddenly chuckled, "I didn't expect you to still remember me. How old were you back then? I thought you had no memory of it."
The man paused, then his clear eyes suddenly welled up with tears, and a surge of joy welled up within him. "Sister Xiaofeng, Sister Xiaofeng, you still recognize me?"
Bi Xie smiled faintly: "Of course I recognize him, but I never expected that the person whom the High Ancestor saved by chance was actually the descendant of True Lord Cheng Guang."
"Since Sister Xiaofeng recognized me, why..." Wu Zhan seemed to have thought of something, and the redness on his handsome face faded a little, leaving him somewhat disappointed.
His voice was too soft for Bi Xie to hear clearly, "Hmm?"
"It's nothing," Wu Zhan said hastily, lowering his head and placing several differently colored medicine bottles in front of Bi Xie. "This is the Separation Pill, this is the Rejuvenation Pill, this is the Spirit Enhancement Pill, the Five Spirits Pill, and the Azure Condensation Pill..."
He stammered a few words, then suddenly fell silent. After a moment, he smiled bitterly and said, "Sister Xiaofeng is an alchemist, so naturally she recognizes these pills. It was me... I made a fool of myself."
Bi Xie looked at the dejected man who was hanging his head and remaining silent. His eyes flickered slightly, and his chapped lips parted. After a long while, he uttered two words, "Thank you."
Wu Zhan stiffened, the light in his eyes dimmed, and after a long while, he raised his head, revealing a smile that wasn't very happy: "Sister Xiao Feng, don't thank me. If it weren't for Sister Xiao Feng, I would have died long ago—"
"Sister Xiaofeng, don't be troubled by me. It's my business if I like you, and it's okay if you don't like me. In the next life... in the next life, Wuzhan will try his best to become the kind of person you like. Then, then you won't reject me anymore."
The evil spirits of the next life...
Bi Xie's eyelashes twitched slightly. Did someone who had exchanged their soul for a wish still have the chance to be reincarnated?
Seeing that she remained silent, Wu Zhan Zhenjun's eyes, which were as bright as the Milky Way, dimmed a little, and a painful emotion churned deep in his eyes, but he concealed it very well.
"Sister Xiaofeng, where exactly did Demon Ancestor Ji Gui go? You've suffered so much for him, but where is he?"
Bi Xie: "He went to the desolate lands."
"The desolate wilderness?" Wu Zhan's eyes widened. "What is he doing in the territory of the Demon Emperor Chi Feng?"
Bi Xie revealed that he possessed demonic energy within him.
Wu Zhan took a long time to process this, and remained silent for a long time as well. He looked at Bi Xie with a hint of hesitation and asked, "So, he went to the Wilderness to cleanse Sister Xiao Feng of the demonic energy within her?"
"Sister Xiaofeng...do you think Demon Ancestor Ji Gui is a good person?"
Bi Xie slightly tugged at the corner of his lips, lowered his eyes to look at the wounds all over his body, and after a moment raised his eyes to look directly into the man's clear eyes, and said mockingly, "Then do you think the person who tortured and abused me to this extent is a good person?"
Wu Zhan opened his mouth, but was speechless.
After a moment of silence, he looked straight at Bi Xie and said, "Sister Xiao Feng, I will never let them hurt you again!"
Bi Xie was taken aback.
A resolute look flashed in the man's eyes. He straightened up and gazed at her intently for a few more moments before saying, "Don't be afraid, Sister Xiaofeng. Wuzhan will protect you. Wuzhan will come to see you again next time."
Then he left the stone chamber without looking back.
The stone chamber fell silent again.
Bi Xie hadn't slept for several days and nights. After swallowing a few Li Gu Dan pills, the pain subsided slightly, and a wave of drowsiness surged up to his head.
She listened to Wu Zhan's words, but didn't take them to heart.
How easy would it be for him to protect her from the four major sects on his own?
He's a very kind person, just a bit naive.
As he pondered this, Bi Xie fell asleep.
*
She had expected to be tortured to wake up, but she slept until she woke up naturally.
Apart from the faint pain, soreness, and numbness at the site where the Dragon Bone Soul-Destroying Nails were planted, no other wounds on his body were bleeding. The festering wounds on his hands had also scabbed over and fallen off under the effects of the Condensed Jade Pill, revealing tender pink flesh.
Bi Xie glanced at the layer of scabs on the ground and immediately felt a chill run down his spine.
After swallowing two more Li Gu Dan pills, Bi Xie moved away from the black scab.
