Successive Willing Sacrifices
Because Xuan Yi was wearing Xiao Tian's long robe, it was rather loose on Xuan Yi body.
Furthermore, since she was bowing slightly in gratitude, when Xiao Tianyi looked up, his gaze met her cleavage.
Seeing Xiao Tian's stunned expression, Xuan Yi followed Xiao Tian's gaze with a puzzled look.
She immediately realized the problem, hurriedly stood up, her fingertips frantically clutching her clothes, her cheeks quickly flushing red, her ears burning, and even her breathing becoming erratic.
"Ahem," Xiao Tian coughed lightly, then turned his head to look at the night sky outside the cave entrance, thinking to himself, "The moon is so big and round tonight, and the light it casts is so white."
The two remained in an awkward silence. Xuan Yi sat on the rock, head bowed, for it was the first time a man had ever seen her like this.
Moreover, I felt embarrassed to blame the other person, since it was my own fault that caused the problem, and the other person was innocent.
The two fell silent. Xuan Yi kept her head down, the redness in her ears lingering, while Xiao Tian kept adding more firewood to the fire.
Xuan Yi was looking down, noticed that although Xiao Tian was stirring the fire and adding firewood, the fire was gradually moving towards her, keeping it at a temperature that was most comfortable for her.
Xiao Tian opened the pot that had been roasting by the fire, poured the water into a cup, and then used his Dou Qi to cool the water down.
Xuan Yi was still looking down at the fire, noticed a cup of water in front of her. She was slightly taken aback, and when she looked up, she met Xiao Tian's calm and unwavering eyes.
"You just woke up, drink some water. I added a lot of herbs that can restore the soul, it will be good for you." After Xiao Tian finished speaking, he gently tapped the cup with his fingers, gesturing for her to take it.
Xuan Yi reached out and took the water glass from Xiao Tian's hand. Their fingertips accidentally touched, and Xuan Yi's body stiffened slightly before she quickly recovered and took the water glass in her hand, while Xiao Tian's expression remained unchanged.
"Thank you." She gripped the water glass tightly, whispered her thanks, and then stared blankly at the glass in her hand. The slightly rippling water reflected her pale face and unfocused eyes.
It seems like it's been a long time since I've felt this kind of care and concern.
First, he moved the campfire to a suitable location, and then he prepared the things she needed most in advance. What a thoughtful man! Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth involuntarily curled up slightly, without her even realizing it.
"What? Are you afraid I'll put something in it?" Xiao Tian asked, noticing that the other person hadn't drunk it.
Xuan Yi shook his head, gripping the water glass tighter, and laughed, "No, if I had such thoughts, why wait until now when there were so many opportunities before?"
After saying that, she brought the water glass to her lips, the warm water sliding down her throat, carrying a faint medicinal scent.
After drinking it, Xuan Yi could feel his weak soul tremble slightly, and a warm current slowly flowed out, constantly nourishing his soul.
As Alchemist herself, she could roughly guess the ingredients inside the medicine the moment she tasted it. She didn't expect Xiao Tian to give her such precious ingredients. You know, herbs related to the soul are more precious than ordinary herbs.
The medicinal herbs that Xiao Tian added were items that would move even Seven Rank Alchemist.
After finishing her water, she put down the glass, her gaze falling on Xiao Tian's face. She asked softly, with a hint of doubt, "Why use such precious herbs to treat me?"
After asking the question, Xuan Yi recalled that Xiao Tian had heard her name earlier, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Although it was fleeting, she still caught it and continued to ask, "Do you know me?"
Sitting on the rock, Xiao Tian looked up at Xuan Yi upon hearing her words: "I've had the pleasure of hearing the name Xuan Yi. One of the Pill Tower's Three Giants, a peak Nine Revolution Dou Zun, and also a Peak Eighth Grade Alchemist. Perhaps I saved you because of your identity, so I can use this life-saving grace to gain even greater value."
Xuan Yi glanced into Xiao Tian's eyes, then at the pot beside the fire, which had clearly been cooking before he woke up.
Moreover, she had always kept to herself and rarely left her home. Even most people inside the Pill Tower did not know that one of the three giants was a woman, let alone people outside. Therefore, she was quite certain that Xiao Tian did not recognize her before she revealed her name.
Xuan Yi gently shook his head and said in a low voice, "Through your eyes, I can see a kind of arrogance that disdains everything, so you are not the kind of person who would do such a thing."
Xiao Tian chuckled and met her gaze, "What if I'm attracted to your beauty, like lust at first sight?"
Upon hearing this, Xuan Yi wore an expression that seemed to say, "You think I'd believe that?" A hint of confidence played on his lips as he spoke:
"My sixth sense tells me you're not that kind of person, and even when I was unconscious, I could still vaguely sense that you didn't do anything that was related to the reason you gave me."
"With your looks and charisma, if you wanted, you could easily attract countless young and beautiful women on the street with just a wave of your hand. There's absolutely no need for you to do these things."
After saying that, Xuan Yi couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle softly, then continued:
"Besides, don't you men all like young and beautiful women?"
Xiao Tian Xiao Tian was speechless. His gaze paused for a moment, then he shook his head with a wry smile.
Xuan Yi Xiao Tian's expression, Xuan Yi assumed he was right and pointed to the two little maids on the bed. "Judging from their features, it's easy to see that their mother was also an exceptionally beautiful woman, so you are even less likely to be that kind of person."
"I didn't even realize I was this good, and you're so good at making excuses for me." Xiao Tian paused in his shaking his head, then suddenly looked up at Xuan Yi, a hint of helplessness and deep meaning flashing in his eyes. "I never thought that one day I would need two little girls to define my image?"
Xuan Yi glanced at the helpless Xiao Tian, smiled slyly, and for some reason, being with Xiao Tian gave her a strangely comfortable feeling, as if she had become her former self again.
"Even though I'm injured now, my judgment of people hasn't changed."
"Yes, you're right." He felt obligated to accept praise, which was the downside of being outstanding. Xiao Tian continued, "..."
"It was two little girls who found you in the first place and asked me to save you. As their father, I naturally couldn't let them down, as I was within my power to do what I could."
