Xue Fanxin was still thinking of studying the pill when Ye Jiushang pushed it into her mouth. It melted and merged with her saliva. Before she knew it, it went down her throat, leaving nothing behind.
She only tasted a few precious spirit herbs in the medicine.
It was obvious that this pill exceeded her understanding. It was not something she could refine at the moment.
In fact, she could not refine any good pills at all. Those pills were all thanks to the Nine Revolutions Burning Yang Furnace.
“You’ll find out about this pill in the future. There’s no need to worry.” Ye Jiushang checked her injuries. He was relieved upon learning that she was fine. Recalling what had just happened, he still felt a lingering fear.
Today’s matter had taught him a serious lesson. He could not joke about Xin’er’s safety at any time. He had been too careless.
Next time… there would not be a next time. Absolutely not.
He could not bear the outcome of losing Xin’er, so there would never be a next time.
Xue Fanxin knew that Ye Jiushang was blaming himself. What had happened today had caused a huge psychological trauma for him. He was still panicking. Seeing Ah Jiu like this made her heart ache, so she comforted him. “Ah Jiu, this is not your fault. Don’t blame yourself. It’s all on me. I didn’t know my place and was chased by two earth-burrowing rats. It would have been fine if I had stayed in the area, but I ran to a dangerous place. All of this is my fault. You didn’t do anything wrong. I was too weak and had no combat experience.”
These were not just words of comfort but also the truth.
If she had rich combat experience, even if she could not defeat these two rats, she would not have been forced to this extent. She had been in such a sorry state and had even almost lost her life. It was all her fault. She could not blame Ah Jiu.
In short, she was too weak.
Ye Jiushang gently touched the wound on Xue Fanxin’s face and said with heartache, “Does it still hurt?”
“It doesn’t hurt anymore. That pill is very magical. Not only did it treat all kinds of injuries on my body, but even the pain is gone! If you still feel guilty, then blow on it for me.”
“Alright.” A certain cold lord really foolishly blew on her wound. After blowing on it a few times, he even kissed it gently. “Xin’er, I won’t let you go through anything like that again.”
“You’re still thinking about this? They say that fortune and misfortune are linked, and fortune comes from danger. Perhaps I’ll get lucky again and encounter something good.”
Seeing her smile, Ye Jiushang felt a lot better. He stopped dwelling on it and said dotingly, “Oh you, I really can’t do anything about you. What you said makes sense. You’re indeed lucky. There’s good stuff in this place.”
Xue Fanxin’s eyes lit up. “What good stuff?”
“I can’t be sure if it’s that thing, so I want to go in and take a look.”
“Treasure hunting! I like it the most. Hurry up.”
“Don’t be anxious. You’re still injured!” Ye Jiushang pulled Xue Fanxin back, lest she pulled on her newly healed wound.
Although that pill had miraculous effects, it was impossible for her injuries to recover completely so soon. She needed to rest for a few more days.
Initially, he had planned to let Xin’er break through before leaving the Yunling Mountain Range. Now, it seemed like they could only go back and recuperate.
Xin’er was the number one in everything.
