"Sister, help me take care of Ling Yuan... I'm so tired."
"How is your health?"
"Are you injured?"
"No."
Bibi Xi shook his head and forced a smile, "It's just... Soul Power consumes too much, just rest for a while."
Bibi Dong was worried. "I'll help you go back."
"No need."
"I can leave by myself."
Bibi Xi let go of Ling Yuan's hand and stood up to leave.
Bibi Dong looked at his leaving figure, frowning.
Bibi Xi Go back to your room.
The moment he closed the door, he slid along the door panel and sat on the ground.
"Ugh!"
Severe pain surged from his limbs and bones.
He curled up and bit his lower lip with his teeth, trying not to make a sound.
Under the skin, purple-black blood vessels wriggled and bulged like living creatures.
Those are the backlash of Bone-Eroding Poison Silk, and this is the price of the secret skill "Thousand Silk Myriad Transformations".
Forcibly transforming the body into an elemental form and completely integrating it with Martial Soul, although it exploded with terrifying power, it also caused the poisonous elements in the body to completely lose control.
Now, those poisons are running rampant in his meridians.
He was able to carry Ling Yuan on his way back all because of his willpower.
He rolled on the ground, digging his nails into the floor, and his vision began to turn black.
In his blur of consciousness, he seemed to hear the voice of Ling Yuan.
"Xiao Xi..."
Bibi Dong's anxious voice came from outside the door, followed by a rapid knock on the door.
"Bang!"
The door was pushed open.
The light from the corridor poured into the dim room, reflecting the huddled and trembling figure on the floor.
Bibi Dong's heart suddenly shrank, "Xiao Xi!"
She rushed into the room and knelt down beside her brother.
"Someone, come quickly!"
Footsteps came one after another. Elder Gui Mei arrived first and saw the state of Bibi Xi.
"Backlash... I'll do it"
He quickly squatted down, and soft black Soul Power poured out of his palms, carefully wrapping Bibi Xi's body to alienate the poisonous elements in his body.
The night is already dark.
Qian Xunji came back with a food box in his hand.
In the other hand, he held an iris hairpin carved from white jade.
Yesterday's conflict made him feel uneasy.
Dong'er That girl is sensitive and must be feeling sad.
I bought this hairpin as a surprise for her and as an apology.
As soon as I walked into the Spirit Hall, two figures came to greet me.
"His Holiness the Pope." Jugui and Douluo bowed at the same time.
Qian Xunji nodded. "Is there anything going on in the palace today?"
Gui Mei nodded. "Ling Yuan was seriously injured. Bibi Xi used secret skills to save her, but the poison backfired. The situation... is not good."
"What? Dong'er, does she know?"
"I know, Saintess has been taking care of them."
Gui Mei replied, "Ling Yuan is out of danger."
Qian Xunji said no more and strode toward Ling Yuan's residence.
He originally thought he was just going to deal with an ordinary Evil Soul Master incident, but he didn't expect...
The lights in the corridor reflected his stern profile. When the guard saw him approaching, he was about to salute when Qian Xunji raised his hand to stop him.
He gently opened the door, and the candlelight in the room was dim.
Ling Yuan is still asleep, and his breathing has become much calmer.
On the chair next to the bed, Bibi Dong was lying there, with his head resting on his folded arms, already asleep.
"She must have been exhausted this day."
Qian Xunji walked over quietly, bent down, and carefully picked her up.
Bibi Dong moved in his sleep and unconsciously leaned into his arms. When he smelled the familiar scent on his body, he relaxed his brows and fell asleep again.
Qian Xunji carries Bibi Dong back to the Saintess Hall.
When he opened the door, the first thing he saw was the bouquet of roses on the bed, and a jewelry box on the table.
He paused, then gently placed Bibi Dong on the bed, took off her shoes and socks, and covered her with a quilt.
Her hands were cold, Qian Xunji held them in her palms to warm them for a while, then carefully put them into the quilt.
After doing this, he walked to the table and picked up the bouquet of roses.
"Dong'er bought it for me?"
He put down the bouquet, opened the jewelry box, and saw a ring.
"Ring?"
"Is it for me too?"
Qian Xunji raised the corner of his mouth, "Dong'er, you..."
He took out White Jade Iris Hairpin from Angel Ring and placed it next to the ring box.
Then he took out Osmanthus Cake from the food box and put it on the table.
After doing all this, he returned to the bed, leaned over, and kissed Bibi Dong on the forehead.
"I'm sorry."
"And... thank you for the flowers."
Qian Xunji looked at her for a while, then turned and left.
After leaving Saintess Hall, he went straight to Bibi Xi's room.
When he opened the door, Bibi Xi was already awake and trying to sit up.
As a result, my whole body was sore and limp, and my whole body was swaying.
"Lie down."
Qian Xunji stepped forward, pressed Bibi Xi's shoulder with one hand, and pushed him back into the pillow.
"Sister, brother-in-law..."
Bibi Xi was stunned for a moment, "I'm fine, really."
"No matter what happens, the therapist has the final say."
Qian Xunji sat down beside the bed, "Soul Power is overdrafted and the toxins are backlashing. Do you think it's okay?"
"At least I'm still alive..."
"By the way, how about Ling Yuan?"
"She's fine. She should wake up today."
Qian Xunji looked at his anxious look, a smile flashed across his eyes, "Are you so nervous about her?"
"Yeah, yesterday was really thrilling."
Qian Xunji raised his eyebrows. "Frost Flower Town What happened? Tell me in detail."
Then, Bibi Xi he briefly told what happened...
"Swallowed and fused, resurrected by Demon Puppet..."
Qian Xunji groaned, "This kind of evil magic is indeed rare. You are lucky to be able to come back alive."
"Your secret skill is very strong."
"The over-level kill of Evil Soul Master is rare even in the records of the Spirit Hall."
"Ah? Really?"
Bibi Xi's eyes lit up, and then he scratched his head in embarrassment, "Actually, I just thought about it... to temporarily transform my body into elements."
"But the backlash was so severe that I lay in bed for a few days when I tried it last time. This time, I took Immortal Herb and my body improved. I'm much better now."
"Well, this kind of secret technique, which can hurt the enemy by one thousand and damage itself by eight hundred, should be used sparingly."
"Don't use it unless it's life or death, do you hear me?"
"I heard it, I heard it..."
Bibi Xi nodded obediently and then asked, "Brother-in-law, can I go see Ling Yuan now?"
"Go ahead."
"Be gentle, don't wake her up."
"Thank you, brother-in-law!"
Bibi Xi suddenly smiled and struggled to get out of bed.
Then because my legs were weak, I almost fell over, so I had to hold on to the wall and slowly move out.
Qian Xunji looked at his turtle-like back and shook his head.
"This guy... he really values friendship."
After coming out of Bibi Xi's room, Qian Xunji returned to his dormitory.
On the desk, there is a bouquet of peonies in full bloom in a crystal vase.
Qian Xunji stood in front of the table and looked at it for two seconds, then reached out, pulled out the peony neatly and put it aside.
Turning around, he took out the red rose, carefully untied the ribbon, trimmed the branches one by one, inserted them into clear water, and then carefully put them into the vase.
After playing with it for a while, he felt that the vase was not conspicuous enough by the window, so he moved it to the center of the desk, just where he could see it when he was reviewing files.
Qian Xunji took two steps back, looked at it for a moment, and raised the corners of his lips slightly.
"Well, it's much more pleasing to the eye."
Early the next morning, Bibi Dong woke up in his bed.
She sat up drowsily and rubbed her eyes, her mind still a little dazed.
Wait, wasn't I taking care of people in room Ling Yuan yesterday? How...
Just as he was thinking about it, his eyes unconsciously glanced at the head of the bed and suddenly stopped.
"Where are my flowers?"
The bouquet of roses she carefully selected is gone!
