"Jiujiu, why have you come back again?" Sikong Mo asked in surprise.
Ye Jiu retorted, "If I hadn't come back, would you have kept your injury a secret from me?"
Sikong Mo remained silent.
Ye Jiu said to Si Bei, "You should leave first; I'll handle the wound."
"This…" Si Bei hesitated, looking at Sikong Mo for confirmation.
Ye Jiu snapped, "What, are you afraid I'll eat him?"
"No, I…" Caught between his master's heart and his own concerns, Si Bei hesitated, unsure whom to obey.
Fortunately, Sikong Mo intervened to ease the tension, "Si Bei, you should go out first."
"Yes." Si Bei agreed immediately, leaving without turning back.
Reaching out, Ye Jiu helped Sikong Mo deal with the wound. From the traces left by the wound, it was clearly not new, yet she had no idea how long it had been injured, nor how he had managed during this time.
And she, while he was wounded, was completely unaware, only continuing a feud with him, believing he was avoiding her deliberately because he was tired of her.
"Sikong Mo, do you know you're really infuriating?" Always easily stirring her emotions, making her anxious.
"I'm sorry." All Sikong Mo could say were these three words.
Given his situation at the time, even if he explained to Ye Jiu, she couldn't help him, only increase her worry.
Therefore, Sikong Mo chose to conceal his injury.
"Can sorry solve everything? What I want has never been your apology, but your honesty..." Ye Jiu said.
Sikong Mo was speechless, only able to remain silent.
But as Ye Jiu spoke, she took out a Jade Vial from her space and opened it. A refreshing scent filled the air, invigorating everyone present.
This aroma reminded Sikong Mo of Ye Jiu's Spiritual Meat Soup, yet it was unmistakably different.
Ye Jiu didn't bother explaining to him, instead pouring the contents of the Jade Vial directly onto his wound.
The liquid inside was a bright green, its texture a bit viscous. When poured onto the wound, it felt refreshing and comfortable, but soon began to itch.
The itch wasn't felt on the skin, but deep within the wound, impossible to reach.
However, Sikong Mo distinctly felt his wound rapidly healing from within, visibly to the naked eye.
Within mere moments, Sikong Mo watched as the wound on his body disappeared. The new skin had a tender pink color, still bearing traces of previous damage.
In the past, the medicines Ye Jiu had exchanged from a person called La Sike had already amazed Sikong Mo. But the contents of the Jade Vial were even more extraordinary.
He wondered what miraculous world this girl had connected to this time to obtain such wondrous items.
Seeing Sikong Mo's astonished expression, Ye Jiu explained, "This is a treasure I just acquired from a new world, and all of it is for you."
Sikong Mo was silent, but Ye Jiu wouldn't let him off the hook, "I've been so good to you, yet you deceive me at every turn. Do you think that's fair to me?"
"Ahem…" Sikong Mo said nothing, but Ye Jiu's playful manner at this moment was like a wife acting petulantly towards her husband. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾·𝗇𝖾𝗍
But it filled him with joy.
"I was wrong, it won't happen again." Sikong Mo promised.
Seizing the opportunity, Ye Jiu voiced her demand, "Sikong Mo, from now on you're not allowed to lie to me or keep things from me. If anything happens, you must tell me immediately, or… or I won't want you anymore."
