For a while, the atmosphere was quiet, Chu MuYun remained silent and Xie QianLan also stopped talking.

The two hugged each other by the cold lakeside and they each had different thoughts.

The temperature of Xie QianLan’s body was getting lower and lower, and Chu MuYun realized it after recovering.

He turned around and took his hand, and asked in surprise, “Are you cold?”

Xie QianLan said, “It’s okay.”

Chu MuYun stood up and stretched out his hand to touch his neckline which had a tremor.

“What’s going on?” Chu MuYun couldn’t help but want to hold his wrist, but Xie QianLan pushed it away.

“I injured my body a while ago and some aspects haven’t recovered yet. I’ll be fine if I take care of them.”

Chu MuYun has a good knowledge of medicine and medical skills and so, even if doesn’t take a pulse test, he can tell the difference.

He didn’t pay attention just before but now he realized that Xie QianLan’s complexion was pale, his thin lips were abnormally light blue and there was unconcealable tiredness in his eyes.

Chu MuYun asked: “You haven’t slept this month?”

Xie QianLan lowered his eyes slightly: “It’s okay.”

How could it be okay? After thinking about it back and forth, Chu MuYun understood!

He disappeared from ZhaoMei Mountain and they must have guessed who did it. Shen ShuiYan and Yan Chen were seriously injured and unconscious, Ye JianHan was swept into the Gate of Life. The remaining people: Mo JiuShao, Xie QianLan and Ling Xuan must have rushed to the empty bamboo forest immediately.

Mo JiuShao and Ling Xuan didn’t know much about illusion, so they probably wouldn’t even be able to get in.

But Xie QianLan is proficient in this aspect. Although Jun Mo’s Mirage Pill is a bit strange, similar skills always overlap in some way. Xie QianLan only needs to find the real thread from the thousands of threads and untie it before walking all the way along it inside.

It’s just that how much hardship has been paid in it can’t be summed up in a few sentences.

First he had a qi deviation and then he had a big fight with Ling Xuan. He rushed from ZhaoMei Mountain to the empty bamboo forest non-stop, and spent sleepless nights and days trying to break the illusion before finally stepping into the empty bamboo forest.

Based on Chu MuYun’s understanding of Jun Mo, he definitely didn’t just arrange Mirage Pills and there were probably also a lot of poisonous gas formations in the inner circle.

Xie QianLan forced his way in and only now did he have an attack. His body is already extremely strong.

Looking at his gloomy expression, Chu MuYun felt his heart throbbing. In that unfinished memory, the cynical young man in red overlapped infinitely with the pale man soaked in blood  and finally frozen into a picture, engraved onto his heart like a tattoo.

Chu MuYun took a deep breath, and said softly, “Let me see your injury.”

Xie QianLan frowned.

Chu MuYun lowered his head and kissed him. After a lingering kiss, he finally touched his wrist.

Under this probe, Chu MuYun’s chest seemed to be poured with ice water, so cold that even the breath he exhaled turned into mist.

Chu MuYun wanted to get up but Xie QianLan grabbed his hand all of a sudden.

Just as Chu MuYun wanted to comfort him, Xie QianLan said, “Don’t go…”

“Don’t think too much.” Chu MuYun placed him on the clean grass and said softly, “I’m going to find some medicinal herbs, your internal energy is disordered, we must hurry up and treat you.”

Xie QianLan refused to let go: “…It will be fine in a while.”

Chu MuYun comforted: “Don’t worry, I will be back soon, and you will get better sooner after taking the medicine. “

Xie QianLan still refused to let go.

Chu MuYun sat next to him again, bowed his head and kissed his pale lips. He asked with a smile, “Did you feel comfortable just now?” He was talking about the entanglement between the two after they got out of the maze.

Xie QianLan couldn’t react, only the smile on the corner of his mouth remained in his eyes, although it was against the light, it was soft like the dew drop that fell on the petals in the morning, making people want to touch but afraid to scare it away.

Chu MuYun held his cold hand with his backhand and his voice became more and more gentle: “Get better soon, so we can go back to WanXiang Palace sooner.”

Xie QianLan’s thin lips trembled slightly.

Chu MuYun approached him and whispered something in his ear.

Xie QianLan’s eyes shrank suddenly. Chu MuYun stood up: “Wait for me, I’ll be back soon.”

This time Xie QianLan didn’t stop him again, he was completely fascinated by what he said just now.

 —QianLan, I love you.

Even if he was lying to him, there was a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment.

Chu MuYun was worried when he walked into the woods. Xie QianLan’s injury was too severe. Although he couldn’t die, the punishment he had suffered was real—life would be worse than death in his current state. 

Bewitched by madness, bereft of strength, and cold poison entering his body. It is estimated that even moving would cause a heart-piercing pain. Xie QianLan has been in a very embarrassing month.

Chu MuYun calmed down and said in his mind: “Zero, help me pay attention to the herbs.”

He said the names of a few herbs, Zerobaby memorized them in his heart and searched everywhere with all his energy.

Two people are much more efficient than one person, and it didn’t take long to find barely usable or alternative medicinal materials.

It should be fortunate that this place is on the outskirts of the Empty Bamboo Forest. With Jun Mo around, the surrounding forests are much more lush than those outside, so that they can quickly find what they want.

Without delay, Chu MuYun took out the stove from the Qiankun bag and started alchemy.

In order to avoid Xie QianLan’s uneasiness, he opened the furnace not far from him, a place he could see by turning his head a little.

After the night passed, Chu MuYun looked at the elixir in his hand and heaved a sigh of relief. At least the cold poison could be cured.

Chu MuYun helped him up,and fed the pill into his mouth.

The quality of the elixir was very high and its effects were displayed very quickly. After a while, Xie QianLan’s complexion became much better and his provocative eyes were also stained with brilliance.

Chu MuYun felt at ease and asked, “How do you feel?”

Xie QianLan said in a muffled voice, “…it’s bitter.”

Chu MuYun: “…”

 Where can I get you candied fruit in the wilderness!

Chu MuYun was also quite afraid of suffering. Seeing Xie QianLan’s pitiful appearance, after empathizing with him, he couldn’t help feeling distressed again: “Shall I go get you a glass of water?” 

Xie QianLan raised his hand slightly: “… Come.”

Chu MuYun lowered his head, thinking that he was going to say something to him… As soon as he got close, Xie QianLan  pressed the back of his neck and kissed him.

He rolled his tongue and sucked it, as if he was tasting sweet honey, that satisfied look made it completely irresistible.

Chu MuYun had indeed tasted the slightest bit of bitterness, but unfortunately it was not from the elixir, but from the bottom of Xie QianLan’s heart, full of fear and uneasiness, the endless…bitterness that was afraid of losing something but not knowing how to keeping.

Chu MuYun slowly responded to him and, under the warm sunshine, they approached each other like there was no one else: one wanted to use this method to comfort him and the other also wanted to use this method to reassure him.

When they finally parted, Xie QianLan smiled: “It’s so sweet.”

His smile returned to his usual flirtatious appearance and Chu MuYun felt a little itchy when he saw it.

Xie QianLan took his hand again, and leaned under his body.

 Through the clothes, it has been hot and hot for a long time, and the shape is distinct.

Chu MuYun leaned over: “I’ll help you.”

Xie QianLan grabbed him and squeezed his waist: “I want to go in, can you move?”
