The two reunited, and Yaoshi Yuan spoke impatiently. "No one can stop us now. You said you had a way to get Bunny Heroine out. Now—"
"Wait."
Yan Qing suddenly crouched down and took out some bandages to wrap Yaoshi Yuan's injured leg. "Don't move. I'm not very good at this either. Your leg is hurt so badly—aren't you afraid of cramping up in the magma? Oh, right. Can you swim?"
Yaoshi Yuan raised an eyebrow. "Why wouldn't I be able to? I used to catch fish in the river when I was little."
He really wasn't very skilled. Even Shi Dong, who was rather clumsy herself, wouldn't have wrapped her leg to look like a radish. Still, Yan Qing's movements were very gentle, as if he feared hurting her. In truth, this amount of pain was nothing to a Third Rank Herald. It would have been better to wrap the wound tighter with more force... but Yaoshi Yuan didn't say so.
After treating Yaoshi Yuan's injured leg, Yan Qing stood up and glanced at the still-sealed giant black ebony-rock door above them. He sighed. "I wonder if she can handle it... She should be all right, shouldn't she?"
They were too far from the upper level, and the black ebony-rock door was too thick. Yan Qing couldn't hear anything happening above.
Yaoshi Yuan's eyes flickered as she said coldly, "This isn't the place for you two to flirt. Since you dared to come on this mission, you should have been prepared for the consequences..."
"Black Wolf," Yan Qing suddenly said, "no matter what happens next, I don't owe you anything."
"You never owed me anything in the first place. You owe—"
"Black Wolf!" Yan Qing said seriously. "If you want to keep hating me, that's fine. I don't care.
