Xue Ling left with Xue Hui, using the excuse of going to gather information and hunt.
Huanhuan took out a bone knife, cut her wrist, and dripped blood into the bowl.
Xuan Wei was seriously injured. If Huanhuan only used a little of her blood, it would definitely not be of much use.
Huanhuan only stopped after filling a bowl with blood.
She wrapped the cloth around the wound and said to Bai Di, “Feed him first. If it’s not enough, I’ll squeeze more.”
Bai Di looked at her pale face and thanked her.
Huanhuan smiled. “We’re family. Don’t give me such pleasantries. I’ll be sad.”
Bai Di helped Xuan Wei’s head up and poured the blood into his mouth until there was nothing left.
A moment later, Huanhuan’s blood began to take effect.
The wounds on Xuan Wei’s body healed at a visible speed. Fresh skin grew out of the scalded areas. Before long, the wounds on his body were basically healed.
Bai Di raised his arm and touched Xuan Wei’s bones a few times to make sure they were healed.
Huanhuan asked, “How is it?”
“It’s done. There shouldn’t be anything else we have to do.” Bai Di put Xuan Wei’s arm back.
Huanhuan let out a long sigh. “That’s good.”
“Show me your hand.”
Huanhuan reached out obediently. Bai Di held her wrist with one hand and untied the cotton with the other. His heart ached when he saw the deep wound. He couldn’t help but reprimand her. “Couldn’t you be gentler? This is your own hand. Don’t you know it hurts?!”
Huanhuan grinned and said, “I used to just bite my fingers, and I haven’t cut my wrist in a long time. I’m not familiar with it, so I used a little more force than needed. I’ll try to improve next time.”
Bai Di couldn’t say anything else. “There won’t be a next time.”
He applied the medicine and wrapped the clean cotton strips around her wrist. Then, he lowered his head and kissed the wound on her wrist through the cotton.
Huanhuan touched his cheek. “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”
Bai Di pulled her into his arms and brought the washed red berries to her mouth. “You bled so much just now. Eat some red berries to nourish yourself.”
Huanhuan opened her mouth and ate the fruits.
After eating seven or eight berries in one go, she expressed that she was full.
Bai Di touched her stomach to make sure she was full. Then, he put down the red berries and said gently, “Go to sleep and rest.”
She was already very tired from watching cartoons all night last night. Coupled with the fact that she had lost too much blood, Huanhuan was exhausted.
She snuggled into Bai Di’s warm, broad arms, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.
When she woke up, she realized that it was already dark. Xue Ling and Xue Hui had returned.
Xuan Wei was already awake.
The four of them were gathered around the fire, eating and discussing their journey.
Bai Di looked down at Huanhuan with a gentle gaze. “Are you awake?”
“Yes.” Huanhuan instinctively raised her hand to rub her eyes, but Bai Di stopped her.
He said, “Don’t do it. I’ll rub them for you.”
After the Divine Wood seed sprouted, Huanhuan’s self-healing ability became very good. When she woke up, she felt that the wound on her wrist no longer hurt.
The wound should have mostly healed.
But in the face of Bai Di’s concern, Huanhuan still played a little trick. She closed her eyes and let him rub her eyes.
Bai Di rubbed her gently a few times. “Is this okay?”
“Yup.” Huanhuan felt her vision become clear. She looked at Xuan Wei, who was sitting on Bai Di’s right, and smiled sweetly. “How are you feeling?”
Xuan Wei nodded slightly, his gaze gentle. “I’m much better. Thank you.”
“I should be the one thanking you. If you hadn’t saved me, I would have been tied to the stake and roasted.”
Xue Hui laughed. “You’re family. Do you have to thank each other? It’s no trouble at all.”
Huanhuan stuck out her tongue and smiled mischievously.
Bai Di tucked her hair behind her ear. “Are you hungry?”
Huanhuan shook her head. “I haven’t completely digested the red berries I ate before. I’m not hungry.”
“Tell me if you’re hungry.”
“Mmhm.”
Bai Di and the others continued their discussion. Huanhuan leaned obediently in Bai Di’s arms and listened to them quietly.
They were discussing whether to go straight back to the rock mountain or to Divine Wood City.
According to Bai Di and Xue Ling, they wanted to go home, but the people from the 10,000 Beasts Temple would not let them go easily. They might chase them to the rock mountain.
At that time, there would be another fierce battle on the rock mountain.
Xue Hui said, “Come with me to the Divine Wood City for a while. It won’t be too late to return to the rock mountain after the commotion passes.”
Bai Di hesitated. “If we go to the Divine Wood City, won’t we bring the pursuers from the 10,000 Beasts Temple there? If we cause trouble for you…”
Xue Hui said confidently, “Don’t worry. Even if those pursuers come to the Divine Wood City, they definitely won’t be able to enter the city.”
“Why?”
“Because we have the protection of the divine tree. Anyone who tries to harm the Divine Wood City will be stopped outside the city and can’t enter. Even if First Elder from the palace of the City of 10,000 Beasts comes personally, he won’t be able to do anything.”
Bai Di and Xue Ling didn’t hesitate. They decided to go to Divine Wood City to lie low.
Bai Di asked for Xuan Wei’s opinion, and he agreed.
Xue Ling called Huanhuan’s name.
Huanhuan was leaning into Bai Di’s arms and about to fall asleep when she heard someone call her. She looked up at once with widened eyes. “Huh?”
Looking at her dazed appearance, she was indescribably obedient and cute. Xue Ling felt his heart itch.
Unable to resist, he leaned over and lowered his mouth to hers.
Before Huanhuan could react, he pried open her lips with the tip of his tongue and entered her mouth.
He held a sweet fruit on the tip of his tongue.
The fruit was crushed, and the sweet juice filled her mouth.
The tip of Xue Ling’s tongue licked every inch of her mouth, squeezing the sweet juice into her mouth. He was like a greedy beast that ate tirelessly.
Huanhuan raised her head involuntarily, revealing her fragile neck.
“Uh-uh…”
It was only when she was almost out of breath from the kiss that Xue Ling reluctantly let go of her.
A thin silver thread was drawn between their lips.
Xue Ling stuck out the tip of his tongue and swallowed the silver thread. At the same time, he licked the corner of his mouth. His fiery red eyes were fixed on Huanhuan as if he wanted to strip her naked and devour her.
There was an indescribable sense of lust.
Huanhuan’s heart raced, but she quickly realized that she was still in Bai Di’s arms. Xuan Wei and Xue Hui were also watching…
She was actually unable to control herself under such circumstances. How embarrassing!
