Should I Apply the Medicine for You?

The fifth Heaven Awakening Island opened.

On this day, various strange changes occurred throughout the vast Heaven Awakening Island, and the fortuitous opportunity were not limited to the Fire Armadillo's Cave.

But these chaotic battles seemed to have nothing to do with the couple sleeping peacefully in the deep cave.

The series of battles had exhausted You Su and Ji Xueruo, and because they were so tired, they slept exceptionally soundly.

However, instead of a tender scene of a woman lying in a man's arms, it was a scene of a man being forcefully held in a woman's embrace.

Even when asleep, this arrogant girl still subconsciously remained strong-willed.

You Su, fast asleep, seemed to be enjoying the tenderness of being embraced. He hummed a few times and then rubbed against her a few times as if he wanted to.

Without realizing it, he caught another pale pink pill in his mouth.

The exhausted young man desperately needed some magic pills to restore his energy, so he subconsciously tried to swallow the pills.

He instinctively tried to suck and sip, but the pill just wouldn't go down his throat. He got into a struggle with it and finally bit down on it.

The next instant, a sharp explosion resounded throughout the cave.

You Su was startled awake, blinking her eyes in bewilderment.

"You Su!!"

The girl angrily shouted the boy's name, and the sound echoed in the cave for a long time, shaking You Su, who was still a little dazed after just waking up, back to his senses.

You Su thought to himself, "The ancients said, 'What you keep in mind will surely come back to you,' and it seems that this is true."

"Baby Xue Ruo, I'm here..."

You Su scratched her head and murmured softly.

Although he was still somewhat confused about the situation, comforting the woman was an instinct he had developed.

To her surprise, the word "baby" only fueled Ji Xueruo's anger. Her face flushed crimson, and she yanked the blanket over herself, covering most of her stunningly beautiful body. One hand remained tightly pressed against her chest, which was throbbing with pain.

"Shut up! I'm not your baby! You've gone too far!"

The girl's anger left You Su completely bewildered. He felt that the one who had gone too far was not himself, but the heartless woman who had slept with someone and then turned her back on them. He felt that he, who had been ridden for so long last night, was the truly pitiful one.

So he could only coax her with a pitiful expression, "Then I'm Miss Xue Ruo's baby, okay?"

"Roll!!"

Ji Xueruo felt a pang of pain in her heart when she heard You Su still want to be her baby, and she became even more furious. She grabbed the bottles and jars of medicine next to her and smashed them.

The clanging sound echoed continuously in the cave, and You Su finally remembered the soft and sweet elixir that was so close yet so unattainable in his dream. He could only apologize and run around naked in the cave.

After playing around like this for a while, Ji Xueruo finally calmed down.

She quietly pulled the blanket back a little and looked at her worriedly. Fortunately, she was quite sensitive, You Su hadn't used too much force to wake her up, otherwise she would definitely have swollen up.

While the pain wasn't nearly as severe as the injuries she sustained elsewhere, the location of the pain was incredibly embarrassing. Ji Xueruo had to focus all her attention on that spot, and the burning feeling of shame, anger, and humiliation was impossible to shake off.

Taking advantage of the girl's pause, You Su quickly and quietly approached, saying apologetically:

"Xue Ruo, I really didn't mean to... Does it still hurt?"

Ji Xueruo glanced at You Su, whose face was filled with worry, and suddenly felt powerless and helpless. She had clearly resolved to keep her distance from this person, and not to engage in romantic relationships until she had achieved great success, so how had she ended up entangled with him?

Recalling everything that happened last night, she realized that she had returned her power to him in that way in order to save him. Later, as he gradually woke up, the rescue should have ended there, but he asked her to continue the treatment because he had Yang Poison in his body.

She clearly didn't believe him, so why did she still reluctantly agree?

Ji Xueruo's mind was in turmoil. Various responsibilities, pressures, and constraints prevented her from openly facing her feelings for You Su, yet she couldn't help but indulge herself.

"None of your business."

The girl's thoughts were in turmoil, and after coldly uttering a sentence, she turned her back to You Su, choosing to avoid seeing him altogether.

"How can it be unrelated to me? I injured myself accidentally, so I should be responsible for it."

You Su spoke with righteous indignation, and in his hand he had already pulled out a bottle of excellent swelling-reducing ointment.

"You don't need to take responsibility," Ji Xueruo said coldly. "The only person who can take responsibility for me is myself."

Ji Xueruo pulled back the blanket, took out a bottle of ointment and started applying it, filling the air with a sweet, warm fragrance.

You Su was slightly taken aback by his words. He remained silent for a long time before saying in a deep voice, "Is this how you take responsibility for yourself? Have you ever thought about taking responsibility for others?"

Ji Xueruo she applied the ointment, turning to look at You Su. The young man's expression was somewhat grave, and his tone carried a hint of reproach.

"I... how could I not have thought of that?" The girl stammered slightly, but remained defiant.

"If you had truly thought it through, you wouldn't have repeatedly put yourself in such perilous situations. Since you know you carry so much on your shoulders, you shouldn't have died so easily. Therefore, you have failed to be responsible for yourself, nor for those who care about you and are concerned for you."

You Su spoke with anger. He sat cross-legged next to Ji Xueruo, completely naked, which could be considered as being utterly honest with her.

Ji Xueruo You Su's harsh words and suddenly felt a little wronged, her nose stinging with tears.

Many people don't understand her, but she's never cared. She never imagined that You Su would be one of them.

"When was it ever that I did it on purpose? If it weren't for the Fire Armadillo interfering, the outcome between me and Ming Dao would be uncertain. And this time in the cave, if I hadn't been poisoned by Hua Ranhua beforehand, how could I have been powerless to fight back? Why are you making it sound like I deliberately went to my death every time... Yes, I wanted to die. I'd rather be dead than alive. Are you satisfied now?"

Ji Xueruo retorted angrily. She didn't know why she felt particularly wronged because of You Su's misunderstanding. She didn't like to explain, but she vented all her frustrations in one go. However, by the end, her voice was tinged with sobs.

You Su couldn't bear it. He had no intention of blaming the girl, but he was still afraid because she had repeatedly put herself in danger.

He sensed something and hugged the girl who had her back to him.

"Let me go!"

Ji Xueruo struggled stubbornly, but You Su held her tightly, not loosening his grip even slightly.

"I won't let go. Anyway, we'll be scattered all over the world once we get out. I've finally managed to see you once, so I absolutely won't let go."

"Will you let me go or not?!"

"Go ahead and scream, no one will come to save you even if you scream your lungs out," You Su said, resorting to his shameless tactics.

Ji Xueruo angry and resentful. Both of them were naked, and this physical intimacy made her feel extremely ashamed and annoyed.

Seeing that she couldn't out-strength You Su, she steeled herself and bit down on You Su's forearm.

But You Su seemed impervious to pain and refused to loosen her grip no matter what.

Ji Xueruo's jaw ached from biting so hard that she finally released her grip and gasped for breath.

Two obvious teeth marks were left on You Su's forearm, much more severe than the bite You Su had just given her.

"I'm your sister-in-law! How can a brother-in-law hug his sister-in-law like that!" Ji Xueruo angry that she resorted to an ethical attack.

"There are only You Su and Ji Xueruo here, no brother-in-law or sister-in-law. I originally intended to treat you with the utmost respect, but you rode up here by yourself yesterday."

You Su decided to carry out his rogue strategy to the end. Dealing with such a proud girl, a head-on confrontation would definitely not work; he had to wear down her spirit like a dead skin plaster.

"I did that to save you! You're repaying kindness with enmity!"

Who is repaying kindness with enmity?

You Su retorted without hesitation, leaving Ji Xueruo speechless.

You Su pressed her advantage, saying, "Besides, you saved me because I saved you. That means you were the one who crossed the line, so how can you blame me?"

Ji Xueruo's eyes were red and her lips were pursed, but she could no longer say a word.

"I was a bit harsh just now. I know you didn't mean to die, but I was genuinely afraid you'd die, wasn't I? You may think there are many things in this world more important than life, but to me, your life is more important than anything. Do you understand now? Don't be angry anymore..."

The boy nestled close to the girl's temple, whispering sweet nothings.

Ji Xueruo felt all her previous grievances vanish. She had never taken other people's misunderstandings to heart, but now she realized how high You Su's position was in her heart.

Perhaps it was because of the many hardships they had shared that she felt this blind man was the one who understood her best, and thus she became increasingly unable to accept You Su's misunderstanding.

"A ruler is magnanimous, who would hold a grudge against you!" The girl's thin lips trembled as she fought back tears.

"Thank you for your great kindness."

You Su smiled gently and hugged the now-docile girl even tighter.

"So please, don't ever think that you can finally rest in peace again, okay? Promise me, no matter what, never give up on me, because I'll always be by your side."

Ji Xueruo suddenly felt a warmth on her back, a warmth that slowly melted the frost in her heart and relieved her physical and mental fatigue.

"What curse did you cast on me?"

"It's not a curse; we are already of one mind," You Su said firmly.

"Nonsense! Who's thinking the same thing as you!"

Ji Xueruo retorted, feeling that You Su was deceiving her, and that the one with whom she had a spiritual connection was clearly her younger sister.

The thought of her younger sister filled her with even more shame. She only wished that her sister hadn't finished her seclusion yet. When breaking through in seclusion, one's divine senses are sealed. If the seclusion ended, she would surely discover that her sister had once again committed the shameful act with her brother-in-law.

"Really? I'm not lying to you. Didn't you hear me telling you not to rest in peace?"

"What kind of filth did you put inside me?!" Ji Xueruo angry that she tried to struggle again.

After all, this sound transmission could reach her Sea of Consciousness directly, and even transfer power to her from a distance. She found such an incredible thing very strange.

You Su quickly reassured her, "Don't worry, don't worry, it's a long story, let me explain slowly..."

Upon Ji Xueruo quieted down again.

At least she knew that You Su would never harm her.

You Su then told her about his fusion with the True Lord, a secret known only to his junior sister. He also explained this special kinship relationship to Ji Xueruo, of course, using the term "Family Member."

Ji Xueruo then realized that the opportunity that allowed her to break through to the Water Condensation Realm, that divinely bestowed cultivation, was actually given to her by You Su.

Under Chi Jun's tutelage, he gained a deeper understanding of the relationships between his followers by frequently taking in Evil Cultivator as his physical companions and absorbing their Mystic Qi.

Just as Ji Xueruo was on the verge of death, he was still using all his strength to break the Formation Technique left by Hua Ranhua, when he suddenly felt an immense threat of death.

This was a warning from the True Lord's Power, because he had also injected the True Lord's Power into Ji Xueruo's body.

Immediately afterward, he sensed the last vestige of Ji Xueruo her death, and he frantically responded, preventing her from resting in peace. He also realized that continuing to break the formation was too late, so he simply transferred all his cultivation to the girl in danger through their kinship.

Fortunately, Ji Xueruo did not give up, which gave her a chance to turn the tide.

After understanding the reason, Ji Xueruo remained silent for a long time. You Su thought she was disgusted by the extraordinary connection between the two of them, so he quickly explained:

"I can assure you, the connection is weaker than you think. If it weren't for the fact that you were on the verge of death at that time, True Lord's Power was reminding me, I really wouldn't have sensed anything normally."

Do you think I care about that?

Ji Xueruo, and her face was like an ice sculpture, even when viewed from above.

"That..."

You Su was somewhat taken aback. She wanted to explain that the relationship couldn't be dissolved, but she was speechless.

"You gave me all your power, and you're lying there all alone. Aren't you afraid the Fire Armadillo will return to their lair? Even if some random cultivator comes along, you'll be nothing but fish on a chopping board." The girl's eyes were resolute.

"I told you, your life is more important to me than anything else." You Su revealed his true feelings once again to the beautiful face so close to his.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, two soft lips pressed against her.

Although the kiss was brief, You Su felt sweeter than honey, because this was the first time Ji Xueruo had taken the initiative to kiss him.

The girl quickly withdrew her lips and turned her head away, feeling her face burning. She had been unable to control herself and had kissed him.

"That means whether it's my sister or me, if we're ever in danger, you can help us from across mountains and rivers."

The girl wanted to use serious questions to cover up the true feelings she had inadvertently revealed earlier.

"Yes." You Su nodded. "That's why I said I'll always be by your side."

In fact, Wangshu Fairy was in the same boat, but You Su certainly wouldn't make a fool of himself at this time. Besides, in his opinion, his senior sister probably didn't need his help.

Wait, it seems like Kongyue is one of them too...

"Then... can this power only be passed on to me by you? Can't it be passed on in return?" Ji Xueruo asked curiously.

You Su felt a warmth in his heart and took a deep breath of the girl's fragrant hair:

"Not yet. Let me do some more research; maybe then I can make it work."

"You're not lying to me, are you?" Ji Xueruo asked suspiciously. "I won't take your favors for nothing. If you need them, take them. Since you also bear such a heavy responsibility, you can't die so easily."

Ji Xueruo finished speaking, she pursed her lips, as if she was thinking of the moment when she saw You Su tilting his head outside the cave. The sadness from that time surged up again, like a tidal wave.

Perhaps just as You Su didn't want to see her die, she didn't want to see You Su die either.

You Su said that about her, but wasn't You Su just like her? Her own life was often not the most important thing.

"Don't worry, I won't die so easily," You Su teased.

Ji Xueruo raised her eyebrows and pinched You Su's thigh in anger.

"Get out!"

You Su hissed in pain repeatedly, then quickly begged for mercy, bringing his face even closer, his hand slowly moving up to touch her outline, and whispering in her ear:

"Does it stop hurting? Do you want me to apply some medicine for you?"

Ji Xueruo then realized that she had been held by You Su for so long without offering any resistance.

She quickly broke free from You Su's embrace, grabbed a piece of clothing, and prepared to put it on. "Don't be so handsy. I'm not your dao companion. Show me some respect."

You Su was not disappointed, but smiled calmly.

After all, they had been intimate for quite a while yesterday, and their conversation just now had allowed them to connect physically and emotionally. He could sense that Ji Xueruo was in a much better mood, and that was enough.

He couldn't resist teasing the girl, so he decided to carry on with his scoundrel spirit and secretly examined the clothes she had changed out of earlier.

Ji Xueruo, discovering this perverted act, scolded him and quickly tried to snatch it away. Just as the two were flirting again, a powerful voice of the Great Dao suddenly resounded throughout the entire Heavenly Immortal Island:

"Zixun of the Zi Xun Xuanxiao Sect has obtained the inheritance!"
