1336 Chapter 23 Xi Xue Love Story
BÃng Huo shouted and made Xi Xue sat down in an instant. She took off her outer clothes and draped it around one guyâs shoulder before letting him lean on the ice wall behind.
"I know thereâs something wrong with you." BÃng Huo glared at the dumbfounded guy with bloodshot eyes. "Your hand is so cold, you must be freezing!"
Xi Xue blinked softly and stared at the girl in front of him. She took off her outer just to not let his back touched the ice wall.
"Iâm really fine..." Xi Xue murmured when BÃng Huo grabbed his chin without care.
"No, you arenât. Your face is so pale! Now tell me, something must have happened on the way here." The girl forced the guy to look at her.
She herself squatted, not looking like a lady at all.
Xi Xue blinked innocently and tilted his head. "What are you saying- "
"If you donât answer, Iâll shove this truth pill down your throat." BÃng Huo took out a blue pill from her storage ring and threatened the guy.
Her eyes glinted. It looked sharper than ever. Her whole being looked like a small little cat trying to threaten a lion.
Seeing BÃng Huo was so eager to help, Xi Xue couldnât help but laugh.
"Haha. Hahahah!" The guy covered his eyes with his palm and sighed.
"I can never deceive you, huh?" he murmured.
âWhy you know Iâm not alright? Why you care so much?â Xi Xue stared at BÃng Huo without speaking.
He was silent for a few seconds before smirking.
"Okay, I admit. My back was wounded by that wind when we fly here." The guy raised both of his hands in âsurrenderâ pose.
Hearing this, BÃng Huoâs eyes widened. She looked at Xi Xue in disbelief.
"You are what?? Wounded?!" The girl shouted, her voice echoed in the cave. "Quick, show me your back!" she urged the guy making Xi Xue reluctantly turned around.
âSo naggy ah.â He glanced at BÃng Huo who was checking his wounds.
The girlâs face was serious and once she saw Xi Xueâs back, she almost fainted.
The clothes itself was drenched in blood yet she didnât see any of this before!
"Did you use illusion to hide your wounds?!" BÃng Huoâs eyes turned teary. She slowly touched Xi Xueâs back and the man flinched.
"...mn." He innocently nodded. The man would occasionally shudder but he didnât groan even for once.
BÃng Huo didnât say anything else and just turned Xi Xue around to face her. She took out several pills from her storage ring and spoke,
"Here, eat these. The wound will heal in no time." BÃng Huo handed the pill in various colour to Xi Xue. "The red one is blood pill, to replenish your blood loss, " she started to explain.
"The white one is to heal the wound. The rest is to prevent inflammation."
"Mn." Xi Xue obediently took the pill and looked down at his palm. "Can I eat this all in one go?"
âWonât it be dangerous?â
"You can. I make sure the pillsâ effect wonât clash with each other." BÃng Huo silently rubbed her eyes, wiping the tears she almost shed.
"Okay. Thanks." Xi Xue hurriedly gulped the pills and indeed, seconds later he felt his wound was slowly healing. His blood wasnât cold anymore and it felt warmer each second.
!
"This is good pills." Xi Xueâs eyes widened.
âI donât think we have this kind of pill at the higher realm. Is this a new type?â
"Where do you get this?" Xi Xue looked at BÃng Huo with sparkling eyes. "This is good. Very good."
"Ah...if you ask me..." BÃng Huoâs cheek flushed red. "I made it?"
Xi Xueâs body stiffened. The guy gawked at BÃng Huo without blinking.
"You? But isnât senior brother still a student..."
âThis kind of pill canât be made by a low-level alchemist!â
"Well, I did make it....even though Iâm still a student, my skill is on par with a licensed alchemist out there." The girl rubbed her nose.
âIn fact, Iâm one of the top 10 alchemists in the province and this is why I have to hide my gender.â
"Senior brother, are you serious?" Xi Xue gulped nervously. He didnât know why but he looked at this girl in a new light.
âNo wonder sheâs in the elite students batch. Itâs not because her grandpa is the headmaster!â
Xi Xue inhaled and exhaled, trying to calm his mind.
âSo this girl is actually not weak. Sheâs awesome.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Xi Xue then lifted his head. He looked at BÃng Huo and sighed. "Donât ever show your pills to others."
"Ah?" BÃng Huo tilted her head. "I rarely give out my pills- "
"Just donât. Okay? Also, donât tell anyone you are the one making these pills," Xi Xue warned. "You should know why I say this right, senior brother?"
"....I know." BÃng Huo solemnly nodded.
âIf people know Iâm so young and can already make a high-level pill, I might be abducted and forced to make pills.â
BÃng Huo looked at Xi Xue and coughed. "I only tell you."
âBecause I trust you.â Is what she couldnât say.
"Mn, good. I wonât harm you so you can trust me." Xi Xue nodded. "Iâm not interested in pills anyway." He shrugged.
BÃng Huo could only snort and silently sulk around.
âI know youâre not into pills. From the way you hide your wounds in front of me an alchemist....thatâs obvious!â
"Good, good." Xi Xue nodded in satisfaction.
âOnly I can know everything about you. Only me. Others canât know!â
