Chapter 36: 36, difficult to protect the nine families/clans
“If I don’t get close, how am I supposed to apply the medicine to you? I think it’s better this way, since you don’t want me to get close. Why don’t I just take out the medicine and let someone else apply it for you?” Ye Jiu carefully asked, although inside, she couldn’t help wanting to curse.
Indeed, some people are truly pretentious. He’s already injured to such a degree, but instead of thinking about saving his life quickly, he’s fussy about who applies the medicine!
Ye Jiu couldn’t help but complain because when she suggested taking the medicine out for someone else to apply, there was a sudden drop in the cold aura from her body, which indicated a clear intention.
Fearing that if she delayed any longer, the injured person before her might actually die and she would be implicated, Ye Jiu quickly took out an undiluted bottle of repair liquid from her Dimensional Space while using her cotton-padded coat for cover and handed it to the man behind her who was compelling her with a sword.
Si Nan didn’t waste words. Instead, he sheathed his long sword, took the bottle from Ye Jiu’s hand, but after looking at it for a long time, he couldn’t find the mouth of the bottle.
Si Nan turned his gaze to Ye Jiu with a questioning look. Ye Jiu instantly understood, took the bottle back, removed the aluminum seal at the bottle mouth, opened the rubber stopper, and then handed it over once again.
During these movements, Ye Jiu inevitably got closer to the injured person, and each time she approached, a killing intent rushed toward her, scaring her so much that Ye Jiu felt frightened and anxious.
Fortunately, as she returned to her original spot three steps away, the killing intent retracted. Only then did Ye Jiu realize that this killing intent was indeed targeted at her.
Ye Jiu cursed in her heart. Could it be that she was carrying a virus, which made people detest her so?
After Si Nan uncorked the bottle, he didn’t immediately apply the medicine on Sikong Mo but instead sniffed it below his nose and frowned deeply.
Looking at the disheveled doctor beside him, Si Nan gestured to him, and as the doctor approached, Si Nan handed over the bottle of medicine, “Do you recognize what this medicine is?”
When it came to using something on his Family Head, Si Nan couldn’t be careless. Moreover, the liquid medicine was indeed strange, its color almost indistinguishable from clear water. Most critically, it hardly had a medicinal scent, but rather a faint, unidentifiable fragrance.
The doctor took it and examined it seriously. With an almost tearful expression, he said, “Hero, spare my life, I’m limited in knowledge and truly can’t recognize what kind of medicine this is!”
To the doctor, this seemed nothing more than fragrant water.
But thinking of the consequences of voicing such a statement—that everyone would be doomed—he truly didn’t dare to speak it out loud.
Si Nan looked at Ye Jiu again, “Girl, are you sure this is medicine? You’d better think carefully before you answer. If there’s any problem after applying it, your entire Ye Family will not be spared!”
Ye Jiu’s heart skipped a beat. Will not be spared—could it be that this man was from the Imperial Family?
Gazing into Sikong Mo’s cold and bloodthirsty eyes, Ye Jiu nodded resolutely, “I used this medicine when I got injured on my forehead a while ago. It’s safe.” If there was really an issue, it would be a problem with his body.
But Ye Jiu could only pray that there would be no problem.
No matter who this person was, she wasn’t hoping for anything. Being the daughter of the Ye Family was already more than enough for her in this life.
“Apply the medicine,” Sikong Mo said to Si Nan, but his gaze was firmly fixed on Ye Jiu. His icy demeanor pressed heavily on Ye Jiu’s heart.
As the Family Head had given an order, Si Nan naturally didn’t dare to delay any further, especially since Sikong Mo had already lost a lot of blood. The injury indeed could not be neglected any longer.
