Both Break Through

"Should I drink first?" Lu Yuan paused, looking at Zhu Zhuqing with some helplessness. Why did this girl insist on drinking it herself? She wasn't injured.

"If you don't drink, I won't drink either!" Zhu Zhuqing's voice was cold, her beautiful eyes fixed on Lu Yuan without blinking.

I'm the only one suffering; don't even think about it!

"Sigh, never mind!" Lu Yuan had figured it out. This girl just wanted him to drink with her. If he didn't drink, she definitely wouldn't drink either.

"You little rascal!" Lu Yuan muttered, taking a spoonful of soup into his mouth.

A bloody smell permeated the air, mixed with the bitterness of some medicinal herbs; the smell was indeed unbearable.

Lu Yuan frowned, swallowed the soup, glanced at Zhu Zhuqing in front of him, and said irritably, "Girl, can you drink it now?"

Zhu Zhuqing gave a soft "hmm".

He didn't mind that the wooden spoon was the one Lu Yuan had just used, and drank the bloody soup that Lu Yuan handed him in one gulp.

The soup made from the Blood Crystal was indeed not very palatable, and even Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but frown slightly.

Although it didn't taste good, its therapeutic effects were real. As soon as it entered her mouth, it turned into a warm current that flowed into Zhu Zhuqing's limbs and bones, making Zhu Zhuqing originally pale face seem to have gained a bit more color.

The combination of Blood Crystal and Thunder Spirit Tiger bone is indeed remarkably effective.

However, Zhu Zhuqing did not take the wooden spoon that Lu Yuan offered again. Instead, she looked at Lu Yuan with gentle eyes.

"What's wrong, Zhu Qing!" Startled by Zhu Zhuqing's gaze, Lu Yuan put the wooden spoon back into the bowl, met Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, and asked.

"Lu Yuan!" Zhu Zhuqing's lips parted slightly.

"Um?"

"I have something to say to you!" Zhu Zhuqing said softly.

"Go ahead!" Lu Yuan said with a gentle smile.

"I hope that in the future, whether it's sweet or bitter, we can taste it together. You don't have to love me, but you absolutely cannot abandon me!" A trace of sorrow flashed in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes. She was determined to follow Lu Yuan for the rest of her life, even if Lu Yuan might have other people he loved.

Even though she felt jealous and resentful, all she wanted was for Lu Yuan to stay with her and not leave her alone like Dai Mubai had left her.

Zhu Zhuqing never wanted to experience that feeling of being abandoned, like falling into endless darkness, again.

"Zhu Qing!" Lu Yuan put down the bowl, pulled Zhu Zhuqing into his arms, and said solemnly and earnestly, "I will never abandon you. You are mine, and I will face any hardship or danger with you."

Lu Yuan and Zhu Zhuqing locked eyes, each reflecting the other's image in the other's eyes.

"Okay!" Zhu Zhuqing said softly.

Lu Yuan held Zhu Zhuqing in his arms, picked up the bowl placed to the side, took a sip himself, and then fed Zhu Zhuqing a sip. Although the taste was strange, the two of them still finished it.

Setting the bowl aside, Lu Yuan looked at Zhu Zhuqing and asked, "How does it feel?"

"Much better!" This Blood Crystal is indeed very effective, and it works quickly. Based on this effect, once the soup is finished, Zhu Zhuqing's injuries should be fully healed in about three days.

"Want more?" Lu Yuan glanced at the pot full of soup and winked playfully at Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing rolled her eyes, but still shook her head honestly and said, "No, thank you!"

Although the Blood Crystal Tiger Bone Soup was indeed incredibly effective, its taste was indescribable. Zhu Zhuqing would rather her injuries heal slowly than touch it.

"That's fine, I'll pack it up first and heat it up for you tonight!" Ignoring Zhu Zhuqing's resentful gaze, Lu Yuan put the Blood Crystal Tiger Bone Soup into a container he carried with him and sealed it.

This Blood Crystal Tiger Bone Soup has amazing therapeutic effects. Although Lu Yuan could tell that Zhu Zhuqing didn't like the taste, he still watched Zhu Zhuqing drink it little by little for the sake of Zhu Zhuqing health.

After finishing the soup, Lu Yuan began setting up the tent, as Zhu Zhuqing was injured and could not spend the night outside.

After setting up the tent, it was already four or five in the afternoon, time to prepare dinner.

Neither of them ate lunch, only drank some soup, which was undoubtedly insufficient, especially since Zhu Zhuqing was seriously injured and needed adequate nutrition.

Fortunately, Lu Yuan still had the meat of the Thousand-Year Thunder Spirit Tiger Soul Beast on him, which was a great tonic.

The meat broth, along with some wild fruits found in the forest, made up their dinner.

Lu Yuan only started eating after feeding Zhu Zhuqing her dinner.

After finishing our meal and cleaning everything up, night had already quietly fallen.

Seeing Lu Yuan still sitting outside, Zhu Zhuqing said softly, "Lu Yuan, come in and sleep!"

This time, Lu Yuan did not refuse again, after all, he and Zhu Zhuqing had already pledged their lives to each other in a sense.

Moreover, Zhu Zhuqing can only sleep sitting up, which seems a bit uncomfortable. She can fall asleep more easily by leaning against Lu Yuan's chest.

Lu Yuan entered the tent and pulled Zhu Zhuqing into his arms.

Zhu Zhuqing lay quietly in Lu Yuan's arms like a docile kitten.

Lu Yuan gently stroked Zhu Zhuqing's hair. With Zhu Zhuqing around, he naturally couldn't cultivate. He just quietly watched her and kept an eye on the situation around the tent.

Three days later!

Lu Yuan removed the gauze from Zhu Zhuqing's body, looked at her skin which had recovered completely, and smiled, saying, "Your injuries have fully healed!"

A smile appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's cold face as she said, "I've finally recovered. You won't have to trouble you to take care of me anymore!"

"What, now that you've recovered, you want to kick me aside?" Lu Yuan laughed.

Zhu Zhuqing glared at Lu Yuan with her beautiful eyes and said, "What are you saying?"

Lu Yuan laughed heartily and pulled Zhu Zhuqing into his arms.

Zhu Zhuqing did not struggle and let Lu Yuan hold her in his arms.

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, a mischievous smile playing on his lips. "Zhu Qing, you need to take more showers. You seem to smell a bit stinky!"

Because of her injury, Zhu Zhuqing hadn't bathed for several days, and while she looked somewhat disheveled, she didn't smell bad.

"Get lost!" Zhu Zhuqing slapped Lu Yuan on the shoulder. No girl likes it when someone tells her she smells bad.

Not to mention that Lu Yuan is the person Zhu Zhuqing values most right now.

Lu Yuan's impression of her was naturally what Zhu Zhuqing cared about most.

Zhu Zhuqing struggled in Lu Yuan's arms, but Lu Yuan held her tightly.

"Didn't you say I smelled bad? Why are you still hugging me?" Zhu Zhuqing said angrily.

"I love your stench!" Lu Yuan chuckled, making Zhu Zhuqing roll her eyes helplessly.

This man is really something. He has a cold and aloof face, but he acts like a rogue, making it impossible for her to get angry at him.

"Zhu Qing, if I'm not mistaken, you should have reached level 20 by now!" Lu Yuan said with a smile, holding Zhu Zhuqing's delicate body.
