Xie Xiyi's gaze fell on Chi Yu's face, and Chi Yu met his eyes with a bright, spirited golden gaze-
Chi Yu knew nothing of the Forbidden Curse on him, nor was he at all aware of the change in his mindset after its removal. Compared with his initial wariness, fear, and withdrawal, under the influence of hormones, he now displayed a certain aggression and assertiveness.
This was the real Chi Yu. He was young, after all, and even when afraid, he rarely showed it openly.
Even when Xie Xiyi was the one pinning him down, Chi Yu always managed to show a strength and courage that suited his personality.
Chi Yu opened his mouth and took Xie Xiyi's icy fingers inside. His mouth was hot, and he instantly felt Xie Xiyi's fingers melt inside it again. Black, tainted blood slid down his throat, making him immediately spit out Xie Xiyi's fingers and spit the mouthful of black blood over the edge of the bed. "Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey." Somewhat bedraggled, he clung to the edge of the bed and spat out the remaining blood deep in his throat. He could only swallow what remained, and a brief, cold pain passed through his esophagus and stomach.
"Senior Brother Xuanji, please hurry up and change your constitution..." Chi Yu wiped the tainted blood from his lips in discomfort. The smell of blood filled his mouth and nose, and the sensation was unpleasant.
"Oh..." Xie Xiyi said.
The burned and melted flesh on his fingers instantly recovered. Soon, Chi Yu could feel heat radiating from Xie Xiyi's body.
Chi Yu asked, "Is it done?"
"Yes," Xie Xiyi said.
Chi Yu reached out to touch Xie Xiyi's fingers. Sure enough, they were warm.
Chi Yu blinked and reached down as though nothing were amiss.
