He put away the Illusionary Spirit Pearl and stroked the soft sword with obvious affection.
"Cang Liuyu, thank you."
A genuine smile bloomed on her lips.
Cang Liuyu's dark eyes locked onto her, and after a pause, he asked, "Why don't you call me Sword Master anymore?"
Shen Zhiyi smiled and said, "From now on, I will call you by your name."
"As for the Sword Master, he seems a bit distant."
I want to be closer to you.
"Do you want me to call you that?" She tilted her head to look at him.
Her clear, watery eyes shimmered with light, as if they held the brilliance of the entire world within them.
Cang Liuyu's breathing became erratic for a moment.
He turned away, no longer looking at her.
"what ever."
Shen Zhiyi caught a glimpse of his hands behind his back out of the corner of her eye, and suddenly remembered something. She took out her storage bag and rummaged through it.
"Oh, wait a minute."
She took out a bottle of medicine. "Your injury can't be left like this forever."
"That snake demon is highly poisonous. If you get infected, it will be very troublesome later. It's better to apply the medicine now."
She took his hand and said, "Let me help you apply the medicine."

"Don't worry, this is a healing elixir that my senior sister gave me. Unlike the one from before, this one was developed by myself."
"I won't treat you like a cow for our sect to test medicine on."
"This medicine is really effective."
The sect's bull?
Cang Liuyu turned his tall frame slightly, raised his eyebrows to look at her, "So, you tried it once, but it was on a cow?"
"Um..." Shen Zhiyi scratched her head sheepishly, "You won't laugh at me, will you?"
"Even trying it on cows failed..."
Cang Liuyu's lips curved into a very faint smile.
Shen Zhiyi keenly noticed this and exclaimed with wide eyes, "Cang Liuyu, you were indeed laughing at me!"
Cang Liuyu lowered the corners of his lips, but a faint smile remained in his eyes.
He loosened his grip on her hand and offered it to her. "Didn't you say you were going to apply the medicine for me?"
"Apply it."
