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, âFeed him first. If itâs not enough, Iâll squeeze more.â
Bai Di looked at her pale face and thanked her.
Huanhuan smiled. âWeâre family. Donât give me such pleasantries. Iâll be sad.â
Bai Di helped Xuan Weiâs head up and poured the blood into his mouth until there was nothing left.
A moment later, Huanhuanâs blood began to take effect.
The wounds on Xuan Weiâs 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 Weiâs bones a few times to make sure they were healed.
Huanhuan asked, âHow is it?â
âItâs done. There shouldnât be anything else we have to do.â Bai Di put Xuan Weiâs arm back.
Huanhuan let out a long sigh. âThatâs good.â
âShow me your hand.â
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 couldnât help but reprimand her. âCouldnât you be gentler? This is your own hand. Donât you know it hurts?!â
Huanhuan grinned and said, âI used to just bite my fingers, and I havenât cut my wrist in a long time. Iâm not familiar with it, so I used a little more force than needed. Iâll try to improve next time.â
Bai Di couldnât say anything else. âThere wonât be a next time.â
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. âDonât worry, Iâll be fine.â
Bai Di pulled her into his arms and brought the washed red berries to her mouth. âYou bled so much just now. Eat some red berries to nourish yourself.â
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, âGo to sleep and rest.â
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 Diâs 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. âAre you awake?â
âYes.â Huanhuan instinctively raised her hand to rub her eyes, but Bai Di stopped her.
He said, âDonât do it. Iâll rub them for you.â
After the Divine Wood seed sprouted, Huanhuanâs 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 Diâs 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. âIs this okay?â
âYup.â Huanhuan felt her vision become clear. She looked at Xuan Wei, who was sitting on Bai Diâs right, and smiled sweetly. âHow are you feeling?â
Xuan Wei nodded slightly, his gaze gentle. âIâm much better. Thank you.â
âI should be the one thanking you. If you hadnât saved me, I would have been tied to the stake and roasted.â
Xue Hui laughed. âYouâre family. Do you have to thank each other? Itâs no trouble at all.â
Huanhuan stuck out her tongue and smiled mischievously.
Bai Di tucked her hair behind her ear. âAre you hungry?â
Huanhuan shook her head. âI havenât completely digested the red berries I ate before. Iâm not hungry.â
âTell me if youâre hungry.â
âMmhm.â
Bai Di and the others continued their discussion. Huanhuan leaned obediently in Bai Diâs 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, âCome with me to the Divine Wood City for a while. It wonât be too late to return to the rock mountain after the commotion passes.â
Bai Di hesitated. âIf we go to the Divine Wood City, wonât we bring the pursuers from the 10,000 Beasts Temple there? If we cause trouble for youâ¦â
Xue Hui said confidently, âDonât worry. Even if those pursuers come to the Divine Wood City, they definitely wonât be able to enter the city.â
âWhy?â
âBecause we have the protection of the divine tree. Anyone who tries to harm the Divine Wood City will be stopped outside the city and canât enter. Even if First Elder from the palace of the City of 10,000 Beasts comes personally, he wonât be able to do anything.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Bai Di and Xue Ling didnât hesitate. They decided to go to Divine Wood City to lie low.
Bai Di asked for Xuan Weiâs opinion, and he agreed.
Xue Ling called Huanhuanâs name.
Huanhuan was leaning into Bai Diâs arms and about to fall asleep when she heard someone call her. She looked up at once with widened eyes. âHuh?â
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 Lingâs 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.
âUh-uhâ¦â
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.
Huanhuanâs heart raced, but she quickly realized that she was still in Bai Diâs arms. Xuan Wei and Xue Hui were also watchingâ¦
She was actually unable to control herself under such circumstances. How embarrassing!
