All of Pei Xiqing's worries and concerns disappeared at this moment.
She responded to the man's hug with all her strength, comforting him again and again: "Brother Duan, it's okay, we are all okay, we are all still alive."
But the man was unwilling to relax even for a second.
After a few minutes, she was already a little short of oxygen.
The man was buried deep in her neck, and she could even feel the rare trembling in his body.
It was only a moment, and then it disappeared. She could only hug him tighter.
…
Duan Xiaolin sat beside the hospital bed, with bloody scars on his forehead and neck, and even the wounds on his chest and limbs were faintly bleeding.
He was not in a hurry to deal with it, but just quietly stroked the saber on her bedside.
The voice was deep: "This saber has been with me for a long time, but after I lost my supernatural powers, I temporarily sealed it away."
"No wonder I've never seen you use this saber before." She asked, "Does it have a name?"
The man chuckled. "A knife doesn't have a name. I just used it before and it came in handy. So I've been keeping it with me for a while. Do you want to give it a name?"
Pei Xiqing supported his chin and poked the hilt of the knife with his fingers.
The lines on the blade have disappeared.
Everything that happened ten days ago seemed like a thrilling dream.
She had already arrived at the present moment when she opened her eyes, but she still could not forget everything that happened at that time; it was even vivid in her mind.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, no one would have imagined that this seemingly ordinary saber actually had countless patterns on it.
She asked, "You saw the pattern on the saber, didn't you? I don't think it looks like a serpent, but more like..."
"A curse," the man said. "It's the mysterious curse behind the serpent."
"It's powerful," Pei Xiqing said, "but I stumbled upon it by accident. I didn't expect it to be so powerful. I almost lost control."
"That's normal. You'll get the hang of it after a few more times."
"A few more times?" Pei Xiqing's eyes widened. "Even if it really is the end of the world, I won't use it again. This is yours. It's better for you to use it yourself in the future. Maybe it will even unleash greater power."
Duan Xiaolin wiped the blade with a handkerchief and finally put the knife back into the sheath.
His movements were clean and neat, and it was obvious that he was very skilled in using a knife.
Pei Xiqing: "When can I see you use it? When we get back home, and then when Ruirui grows up a little, will you teach him how to use it?"
"It's not too late to teach you."
"I don't want it. This knife is so ugly." At that time, the power of the Qiong snake was activated in her body. She didn't feel anything when holding the knife. Even every posture of swinging the knife was guided and controlled by the Qiong snake, so she would not make a fool of herself holding the knife on the battlefield.
Now that she had recovered, the Qiong Snake was resting in her body. Her wrist was so sore that she could hardly lift it.
Duan Xiaolin smiled and touched her head, then took his hand and gently massaged her.
Pei Xiqing stared at him for a moment, then tried to check his injuries. Seeing blood oozing from his chest, she wanted to call Qiu Chao over for help, but Duan Xiaolin held her tightly, saying, "You're too impulsive."
"I know..."
That's why she didn't dare confess to Duan Xiaolin.
"You've got a hidden gem." Duan Xiaolin rubbed his knuckles against her delicate skin. "Take off your clothes."
"ah?"
"Need my help?"
"No, no..." Pei Xiqing unbuttoned her clothes bit by bit, not daring to look up and look at him.
Soon she was stripped down to her underwear.
The man pulled her straps without hesitation and easily opened them with his fingers.
The shoulder straps slipped off.
A large area of white was revealed.
Duan Xiaolin stared at the position of her heart.
There was a long silence.
"It left a scar."
A wound about ten centimeters long suddenly appeared on her chest skin.
It's not deep and has been processed.
But the traces on it can still be vaguely seen.
You can tell at a glance that she had been injured in the chest, and the wound was quite large.
"It's okay. Sister Long Yan checked my wound and said that the base will use some medicine to apply on it in a few days and it will be fine. This scar is nothing."
Pei Xiqing hugged his arm and snuggled into his arms again.
Smiling, she kissed his chin and said, "Brother Duan, you've been sleeping for ten days, haven't you? You've grown a beard."
Duan Xiaolin was hugged by her and smiled with his head down: "Why do you have so many tricks?"
"This is not a ghost idea, it's something that can save your life."
If she hadn't kept a backup plan.
The crystal core had been crushed by him long ago.
She couldn't save him.
Thinking of this, Pei Xiqing hugged him even tighter.
"Remember the set of instructions I told you earlier?"
"What?"
"Headquarters."
Pei Xiqing nodded: "Oh, I remember now. Of course I remember. What's wrong?"
"Go back to the base and you'll find out."
"That's what you said. We have to go back to base together and return safely the same way we came here."
Pei Xiqing was afraid that the man would not agree, so she immediately extended her little finger and made a pinky promise with him: "Come on, will you agree to me?"
"I promise you." Duan Xiaolin hooked his finger around hers lovingly, "I'll definitely keep my word this time."
