Qian Renxue said nothing. She merely pressed her lips together, turned, and strode toward the door.
But just as her hand was about to touch the latch, she stopped abruptly.
The next moment, as though she had made up her mind, she spun around and hurried back to Su Yu in a few strides.
Before he could react, her cool fingertips gently cupped his cheek, trembling almost imperceptibly.
Something soft brushed his cheek, like a feather passing over it, like a snowflake settling on his skin, gone in an instant.
Qian Renxue abruptly let go, her cheeks so red they looked ready to bleed. Her eyes darted away, not daring to meet his, and her voice was as faint as a mosquito's buzz, yet a little hurried. "Th-this is your reward! I-I'm leaving!"
Before she had even finished speaking, she turned and dashed out like a startled bird. Her skirt swept across the floor, leaving a flustered rush of air behind her.
Su Yu stood frozen, his hand still resting against the cheek she had touched, her warmth seemingly lingering on his fingertips.
"What a haughty little puppy!"
Su Yu rubbed his cheek and headed toward the room to one side.
Two more days passed, and Chrysanthemum Douluo successfully helped Poison Douluo's family rid themselves of their poison.
Dugu Yan's case was a little troublesome, though. She was still young, so he could only wait until she grew older before helping her remove the poison.
However, Chrysanthemum Douluo also prepared some medicines that could suppress the poison in her body. As long as she took them regularly, the poison would not pose much of a problem.
With matters here settled, the two returned to Martial Soul Holy City together with Dugu Bo's family.
