Capítulo 1061: Chapter 834: The Stubborn and Headstrong Girl (Part 3)

All the guests on the second floor stood up in terror at this moment!

Because right before their eyes, those five seemingly fierce and robust men were turned into ice sculptures during their attack.

Sudden, without any warning.

The blue-haired youth wore a white suit, looking incredibly elegant.

But at this moment, he glanced at the onlookers with his ice-blue eyes.

A chill rose in everyone’s hearts.

They saw an icy dead silence in his eyes.

[Cannot provoke.]

This was everyone’s unanimous thought at that moment.

So the onlookers quickly retreated, leaving not a trace.

Only the shivering service staff remained.

He was merely an ordinary mercenary, earning some extra cash while gathering intelligence during his team’s downtime.

Who would have thought to encounter such a ruthless figure.

“Another pot of tea, please.”

In a cold voice, the blue-haired youth returned to his seat.

He gazed leisurely into the distance.

The distance held only the black night…

In the brightly lit building, all he saw in the glass curtain wall was his own reflection.

“Such profound darkness… Night Ghost, tonight’s slaughter must be delightful.”

“Tomorrow, I’ll buy you a drink.”

The youth muttered to himself, raised the teacup that had been filled again, and drank the boiling water in one gulp.

Only, in this world, many things often do not go according to plan.

He didn’t know, and no one else knew, only a dying merchant witnessed the unimaginable scene.

The Night Ghost, I’m afraid, will never arrive.

This night, so very long.

…

“His claw is not poisoned, it’s just that it seems to have been through too much slaughter, making the wound difficult to heal quickly. I’m fine.”

The flickering firelight illuminated the cave.

The shadows of the two were cast on the jagged rock walls.

Lu Qingxue’s cool voice sounded, though a hint of weakness was unavoidable.

Mu Fan sat silently on the other side of the fire.

After another almost 40 minutes of walking while barely holding on, Lu Qingxue finally found this relatively dry cave.

To call it a cave is more like a gap formed by fallen earth when a giant tree collapsed.

Over time, it became a shelter from the wind and cold.

Earlier, when Lu Qingxue’s Snow Building Sword fell, Mu Fan discovered the fine scars on her body… they were actually twice as many as previously seen!

Yet, Lu Qingxue forcibly used some special ability to temporarily freeze the wounds.

Throughout, Lu Qingxue never allowed Mu Fan to be distracted even slightly.

But when the battle ended, the weakness from exhaustion was finally exposed.

Lu Qingxue instantly entered a weakened state.

“Let me see your wounds,” Mu Fan’s voice came, with an undeniable tone.

Lu Qingxue’s previously cool face showed eyes equally unwilling to yield.

She firmly shook her head, “No need, I’ll be fine after replenishing energy.”

At the same time, her bloodied right arm gently pulled back.

Mu Fan’s heart trembled softly.

It was clear Lu Qingxue didn’t want Mu Fan to see her wounds, mostly to prevent him from being distracted by her injuries!

But it was evident that Lu Qingxue’s body marked with scars, especially the claw marks from the crossed slashing on her back, was clearly visible and certainly not something that could heal quickly.

“You need medicine.”

“No need.” Lu Qingxue crushed several Snow Lotus Seeds and sprinkled them on her torn sleeves.

The faint fragrance tried to suppress the light scent of blood but could not fully cover it up.

Lu Qingxue looked seriously at Mu Fan and asked, “Why don’t you apply some medicine! The injuries you suffered earlier were far worse than mine.”

Mu Fan suddenly found the serious Senior Sister before him adorably stubborn.

He promptly took out a small pouch of Bai’s Medicine from his bosom.

Then he rolled up his sleeve, revealing scars densely packed yet devoid of any oozing blood, most already scabbed over.

This should be the state of a wound that has been healing for a day!

“My constitution is quite special, for me, eating one more Molten Magma Fruit is far more direct than using these medicines.”

“This is a special medicine left to me by a senior Medicinal Plant Master from the Biological and Pharmaceutical Association, and it has an astonishing effect on wound recovery! Now, you need it more than I do!”

“If you don’t use the medicine, how are you going to continue on this path?”

Mu Fan suddenly felt like this might be the most he had ever spoken.

He was never very good with words, but Senior Sister Lu spoke even less, so when alone with Lu Qingxue, he ended up being the talkative one.

Moreover, at this moment, Lu Qingxue seemed to be throwing a little tantrum, stubbornly refusing to use the medicine.

Looking at those stubborn, silent, and cold eyes, Mu Fan’s mind suddenly flashed back to what Lu Qingxue had said during their battle together…

“Fighting alongside you, I have no regrets even in death.”

A light flashed in his mind, and he immediately said, “Didn’t we agree to face the Blood Teeth Team together before coming here?”

“Now, let me see your wound.”

As he said this, the resistance on Lu Qingxue’s face seemed to lessen significantly.

She looked at Mu Fan, gently turned her body to avoid the wound on her back, and leaned against the rock wall.

Then she rolled up her left sleeve.

Three clear bloodstains appeared!

With a faint transparent pink blood, which was obviously different from ordinary people, making the texture of the wound even more pronounced.

These scars on that jade-like arm seemed like flawless art pieces full of cracks, evoking heartache.

Mu Fan’s eyes had a touch of chill.

“And the upper arm, there too.”

Lu Qingxue looked down at the fire, silently slipping off the combat uniform on her left arm.

What an astonishingly beautiful jade arm, but now full of bloodstains…

Mu Fan’s palm clenched tightly.

Heaven knows how many claw slashes Lu Qingxue suffered to buy him time to equip the Dragon Rider.

“Apply the medicine, Bai’s Medicine can make the wounds heal quickly, and… it doesn’t leave scars.” Mu Fan’s voice softened considerably, his tone calming down.

“…Okay.” Lu Qingxue finally responded, silently extending the bare arm into the air.

Mu Fan cracked the dropper of the medicine preserved in the crystal tube.

Then, amidst the crackling sounds of the fire, he meticulously applied the first dose of medicine on Lu Qingxue’s wounds.

Getting closer, Mu Fan could see more clearly the milky-like delicate skin, the ice-snow-like translucent color.

Truly understanding what is meant by icy skin and jade bones.

He quickly shifted his focus to the wound.

As the medicine was applied to the wound, the redness and swelling at the edges of the scars began to subside visibly, and Mu Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past, Mu Fan had suffered burns from a fire whip on his back to protect Lu Qingxue, and she had meticulously applied ointment for him.

And now, with claw marks all over her body to protect Mu Fan, it was Mu Fan’s turn to apply medicine for Lu Qingxue.

“The right arm…”

Lu Qingxue obediently slipped out her right arm.

Now, that snow-white combat uniform was merely draped over her back, though by now it had been stained a faint pink.

While applying medicine to the wounds on Lu Qingxue’s right arm, Mu Fan noticed the pink hues of the sleeve and asked, “Is the blood of your people all this color?”

“Yes.” A gentle voice answered, with the distance so close, Mu Fan could feel the cool Senior Sister’s breath as fragrant as orchids.

“It’s done…” Mu Fan wiped the sweat off his forehead and after applying medicine to over twenty-five places, his eyes landed on the cross-interrupted X-shaped scar on her back, stopping abruptly.

“The wound on your back…”

Mu Fan instinctively wanted to reach over with the hand holding the medicine.

But at that moment, Mu Fan suddenly noticed that the always silent Senior Sister Lu, who had been passively letting him apply medicine, suddenly trembled a little, lowering her head slightly to avoid Mu Fan’s gaze.

Mu Fan was taken aback, then instantly realized, his face blushing furiously.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to, I forgot… I didn’t notice, I…”

The young man’s stammering voice echoed in the cave, leaving him at a complete loss.

Lu Qingxue turned her head to the side, not looking at Mu Fan, her cold eyes gazing at the fire bringing warmth to the cave.

The firelight lit up her pale cheeks.

Suddenly, Lu Qingxue turned her body completely away from Mu Fan, her cold voice coming through.

“Please.”

The combat uniform draped over her back at this moment…

Silently slipped off.

Her breathtakingly beautiful curves…

Completely unveiled in front of Mu Fan!
