Mu Chenshuang pushed open the door and entered.
She heard Linglong arguing with the man inside. She had instructed Linglong to come and apply the medicine for him earlier.
"Can't you be a little gentler? My old injury hasn't healed yet, and you've caused a new one. How are you going to take responsibility for that?"
Linglong was so angry that she poked his wound hard.
The next second.
"Ah!" the man roared in pain.
"Why are you yelling? A grown man like you is afraid of pain. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
"Also, I'm not your maid, so don't order me around. If it weren't for my young lady's kindness in saving you, do you think I would have been willing to apply medicine to you, provide you with a place to stay, food, and water? You should be kneeling down and thanking me! Stop being so picky. Would you eat a stone from a latrine?!"
Linglong angrily retorted in one breath.
Just as I finished cursing, I heard a low chuckle.
Linglong suddenly came to her senses and saw Mu Chenshuang walk in. She hurriedly stepped forward and complained, "Miss, I have never seen such a shameless person. I'm already grateful to have food, but I still complain about the poor food and the small place. I really treat this place like my maid and order me around."
Mu Chenshuang reached out and patted Linglong's hand, saying reassuringly, "I know, you've worked hard these past few days."
The man sitting on the edge of the bed looked at Mu Chenshuang, his eyes filled with undisguised amazement. He had only caught a glimpse of her when she was weak that day, and now, seeing her again in his clear-headed state, he was still stunned by her appearance and temperament.
Mu Chenshuang raised her eyes and met the man's stunned gaze. He was neatly dressed and, upon closer inspection, was a man of outstanding appearance, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and strong facial features. He looked to be no more than 20 years old.
Mu Chenshuang stepped forward.
The man then realized what had happened and said, "My beauty, we have finally met again. I am very grateful to you for saving my life."
Using the word "beauty" repeatedly is truly frivolous.
Mu Chenshuang stood before him, her expression serious, her cold eyes fixed on him. "My name is Mu Chenshuang."
The man realized what was happening and looked at the woman's cold face. She was an ice queen, and he knew she wouldn't be easy to pursue.
"Miss Mu."
Mu Chenshuang reached out and took his pulse. His current mental state was beyond her expectations. Despite being poisoned and suffering from multiple fatal external injuries, he was fortunate to have profound internal strength.
Detoxification takes a long time, but as long as it doesn't flare up, there's not much of a problem. Now, all we need to do is use acupuncture to stimulate his meridians and help them recover.
Mu Chenshuang withdrew her hand. "You've recovered well, but I didn't save you for nothing. I've written down all the bills for your accommodation and medicine, and you have to pay them back."
The man was shocked. Could this be a deliberate attempt to extort him? He raised his voice and said, "I have no money to repay you."
"If you can't pay back the money, then let's find another way."
The man stared at Mu Chenshuang, his eyes narrowing slightly, a glint gradually appearing in them. "I'm quite capable of warming the bed."
These words were spoken.
Linglong shouted angrily, "You lecherous scoundrel, what nonsense are you thinking? Don't you even look in the mirror and see what you look like?"
The man retorted defiantly, "You little brat, this young master is handsome and dashing. What do you mean by 'looks like'? I'm more than qualified to warm your young lady's bed."
"you……"
Linglong stomped her feet in anger.
Mu Chenshuang, her face cold, stopped her, saying, "Be my personal bodyguard, protect my safety at all times."
The man snapped out of his daze and agreed without hesitation, "I'd be more than happy to serve as a bodyguard to a beauty like Miss Mu, even if I can't warm her bed."
Linglong was furious. Wouldn't she be seeing this lecherous man every day from now on?
"Since you don't know your own name, then you'll be called Seven Nights."
A deadly stinger that grows in the darkness.
