Flipping to a page, it was a picture of a human skeleton.
Su Yingxue was startled for a moment.
But as she analyzed it seriously, she found herself captivated by it. Buried in the room, she kept reading throughout the night until dawn, and eventually fell asleep on the table, exhausted.
When she woke up, the sun was already high in the sky. She felt a slight weight on her body and looked up to see a slender figure standing upright in front of her, blocking the sunlight that was shining on her.
Su Yingxue glanced at her clothes and then at Zi Wei, who was only wearing an undershirt.
She licked her lips. “Aren’t you cold?”
Zi Wei maintained a stoic expression. “No.”
Su Yingxue felt a bit embarrassed. “Actually, you don’t have to take care of me like this. I won’t catch a cold even if I take a nap.”
Zi Wei’s eyes flickered, and the purple color at the corner deepened as if he was questioning Su Yingxue.
Then he said, “You will.”
Su Yingxue was speechless.
Well, normal communication was impossible.
But his intention made her want to reward him with a bowl of medicine.
After entering Medicine King’s Valley, Su Yingxue made him two bowls of medicine, one for detoxification and the other for recuperation.
She placed the bowls in front of Zi Wei and raised an eyebrow. “Drink up. Finish both bowls, not a drop left.”
Zi Wei, who was usually decisive and efficient, hesitated and didn’t make a move.
Sitting in front of him, Su Yingxue stared at him. “What’s wrong? Afraid it’s too hot? The medicine is most effective when consumed while it’s still warm.”
Zi Wei’s eyes showed signs of struggle. Su Yingxue took out three silver needles and threatened him, “Do you want to drink it or not? If you don’t, I’ll knock you unconscious and force it down your throat.”
Zi Wei’s expression remained calm. “You won’t be able to prick me.”
“Come here!”
Su Yingxue became angry and slammed the table.
Obediently, Zi Wei sat beside her. Su Yingxue held the needle against his neck and sneered. “Can I prick you?”
Zi Wei shifted his gaze. “Yes.”
“Then can you drink the medicine properly?”
After a long silence, Zi Wei uttered a hoarse syllable, “Bitter.”
Su Yingxue was confused.
“You, who kill people mercilessly and lick the blood off your blade, are afraid of bitterness?” Su Yiingxue thought.
She was very doubtful.
But as she looked into Zi Wei’s eyes, she knew he wouldn’t lie.
Su Yingxue covered her mouth, but couldn’t contain her laughter.
She stood up briskly. “Wait for me here!”
After saying that, she rushed out like the wind and returned in the same manner.
When she came back, she held a paper package in her hand.
It was a bag of candy.
Su Yingxue reached out and stuffed a piece of candy into Zi Wei’s mouth. “Is it sweet?”
She tilted her head, her tousled hair floating around her rosy cheeks, resembling an adorable little fox.
Zi Wei’s ears turned slightly red. “Sweet.”
“Then drink your medicine first and cat the candy later.”
Su Yingxue placed the two bowls of medicine in front of Zi Wei, coercing and tempting him. “After you finish the medicine, you’ll get to have candy. If you don’t drink it, I’ll knock you out and pour it down your throat.”
Efficiently, Zi Wei finished both bowls of medicine, not leaving a single drop.
Then, Su Yingxue gave him two candies.
She could see that after eating the candy, his complexion wasn’t as gloomy and dreadful.
Originally, she wanted to give him the whole bag of candies in her hand.
But after some thought, she tucked it away. “I’ll give you more next time to prevent you from neglecting the medicine again.”
Zi Wei’s heart skipped a beat. Lowering his head, he spoke slowly, “Okay.”
As Su Yingxue left, she encountered the person sent by Liang Jin. The person informed her, “Lord Wu has been subjected to wooden paddle punishment, and his body is unable to bear it. Lord Liang has to postpone the trial. During this period, I hope Miss Su will behave and wait for Lord Liang’s summons..”
