Chapter 88

"After chewing? Wait, then give it to me, I'll do it myself," Qian Renxue said hurriedly. She was the Saintess of the Angel Clan, pure and unsullied; how could she let a man's saliva defile her back?

Nan Feihuang did not force the issue, handing the herb to Qian Renxue and saying, "Then you must be careful, this herb is very bitter."

"I'm not afraid of bitterness!" Qian Renxue took the herb and put it in her mouth to chew it into a mash.

At this moment, a hand reached out beneath her chin, and she looked at Nan Feihuang with a puzzled expression.

"Spit it into my palm. The burn is on your back, and you can't apply the medicine yourself," Nan Feihuang said.

Qian Renxue was stunned. It was true; in the end, she still had to borrow his hand.

The girl's cheeks instantly flushed with a rosy glow. That was right, she didn't need to be stained by a man's saliva now, but spitting her own saliva into a man's hand felt even more ambiguous.

But there was no other way now. Qian Renxue lifted her long golden hair to one side and gently spat the herb from her mouth onto Nan Feihuang's palm.

Nan Feihuang slowly applied the herb to the wound on Qian Renxue's back. A cool, refreshing sensation spread, and the pain immediately lessened significantly.

Turning her head to look at Nan Feihuang, she saw his expression was earnest, completely devoid of any evil thoughts.

Qian Renxue felt a bit ashamed and annoyed. It turned out she was the only one with a wandering mind. This man was truly just focused on healing her injuries; his palm held her fragrant saliva, and he was gently stroking her back, yet he felt absolutely nothing.

It was too disrespectful. With her appearance, shouldn't she be one of his two favorite types?

One herb was clearly not enough. Nan Feihuang took out another one for Qian Renxue to chew. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect; the second time, the two of them became much more tacit.

Before long, Qian Renxue's back was covered in the herb.

Nan Feihuang took an outer garment from his Spirit Tool and draped it over her, as the silk on the back of her clothes had been completely incinerated by the flames.

This girl was a bit lazy; she didn't even carry a Spirit Tool when going out.

In reality, she didn't need to. Among the three of them, it was enough for one person to carry a Spirit Tool. Given her status, the job of keeping items was nine times out of ten done by Ci Xue. There was no helping it; who told him to be the ugliest of the three?

"Thank you!" Qian Renxue looked at the garment hanging on her and said softly in gratitude.

"Miss Qian Renxue, you should rest well. As soon as you recover a little, we will find a way to leave here. We can leave marks along the way. I believe that whether it is the two Title Douluo protecting you or my mother, they will not abandon us," Nan Feihuang said.

Qian Renxue nodded. "That's right. That red Spirit Beast's strength is so formidable, it must be a Spirit Beast living in the center of the Star Dou Great Forest. She Shu and the others will surely realize this. They will definitely come inside to save us. We just need to leave signals along the way while we head out."

Just as the two had expected, after Lan Xue's injuries had recovered slightly, she disregarded everything and headed deep into the Star Dou Great Forest.

She would absolutely not go back without finding Nan Feihuang.

Nan Tianchen, ignoring the objections of Dian Wei and Nan Feiling, ordered Xu Rong to forcibly take the two of them back. At a time like this, two brats with such weak strength would not only be of no help, but would instead become a burden.

Additionally, Ci Xue had also left. Of course, he was not fleeing for his life, but returning to the Spirit Hall to fetch reinforcements.

The strength of that red monster was truly too overpowered. If they encountered it again, even if they found Qian Renxue, they would still be helpless.

In the Spirit Hall, it was feared that only the Pope Bibi Dong and those Offering in the Offering Hall would have a chance to contend with that fellow.

"Huang'er, you must be safe and sound. Otherwise, even if Mother desperately becomes a Title Douluo, what would be the point?" Lan Xue walked forward firmly, not stopping her pace even though it was already late.

Behind her, Nan Tianchen and Elder Zhang could only sigh as they watched Lan Xue like this. They both knew how important Nan Feihuang was in Lan Xue's heart.

Even Nan Tianchen, as her husband, could not compare.

Now, all they could do was support her. In fact, they were equally worried about Nan Feihuang; after all, one was his father, and the other had served as the Crown Prince's Tutor, counting as Nan Feihuang's teacher.

Fortunately, they had Elder Zhang's fruit, which could replenish resources at any time. It could satisfy hunger, quench thirst, treat injuries, and restore physical strength, soul power, and mental energy.

A Food System Spirit Saint was just that practical.

By comparison, the two in the cave could only eat some dry rations. And because they were worried about attracting high-level Spirit Beasts in the middle of the night, neither dared to light a fire, no matter how dark it was.

But both were Spirit Masters, and Qian Renxue had even reached the Sixtieth Level, a high-level Spirit Master just one Spirit Ring away from advancing to a Spirit Emperor. Even in the dark of night, it could not block their vision.

Nan Feihuang even possessed the External Spirit Bone, the Ghost Xiaotian Bead. The position of that External Spirit Bone was near his left eye, which also made the vision in his left eye extremely sharp, allowing him to see in the dark as if it were broad daylight.

Even in such a pitch-black environment, Nan Feihuang's left eye could see Qian Renxue's beautiful face.

But he was in no mood to admire a beauty at this moment. He was merely observing the center of Qian Renxue's brow to see if any black energy symbolizing death would gather again. As long as there was none, it meant the two were safe for the time being.

Although they were protected by the Red Hare now, he also hoped to minimize the Red Hare's intervention. Otherwise, once its cultivation could no longer be suppressed and it attracted the Million-Year God Tribulation, everything would be over.

"Why do you keep stealing glances at me?" Qian Renxue's voice rang out. "Silly child, do you think seeing in the pitch black is your specialty? Did you think I wouldn't notice?"

"Stealing glances? I wasn't..."

Nan Feihuang had just wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Qian Renxue. "Alright, say no more. I know everything. Crown Prince Feihuang, you are still too young; it is not the time to consider such things. For now, you should focus on your cultivation."

She had clearly misunderstood, but in her heart, she felt a bit more favorably toward Nan Feihuang.

Just now, when she was at her weakest, he had looked straight ahead without any evil thoughts. It must have been because he was too worried about her injuries and had put his whole heart into the treatment, even forgetting to be moved.

Now that everything had returned to calm, he found it hard to suppress the impulses in his heart and kept subconsciously stealing glances at her.

Who told her to be exactly his type? It was human nature for a boy of this age to like to secretly watch the woman he liked. In fact, Qian Renxue did not blame him.

She even thought of other things. The identity of Xue Qinghe had basically already gained Nan Feihuang's complete reverence. She thought that if Nan Feihuang liked her identity as Qian Renxue, then she might as well make use of these feelings.

In the future, when he discovered that the Xue Qinghe he admired most and the Qian Renxue he liked most were actually the same person, he would inevitably become her most loyal supporter.
