The white clouds were replaced by black clouds, and the sky gradually darkened. A bright moon hung on the treetops, and the surroundings were silent.
A gentle breeze blew in from the window. The red candle on the table flickered between light and darkness. The night was a little strange.
Yue Yinshuang sat on the edge of the bed, carefully wiping his body, a satisfied smile on her face.
He was still lying motionless, his ruddy face expressionless, as if he was sleeping.
"Xiang, why aren't you awake yet?" She called out softly and intimately, holding a wet cloth in her hand to wipe off the sticky sweat on his body.
"This seems to be the first time I've called you like this. I wonder if I can still call you like this when you wake up?”She continued to speak, repeating the same action with her hands.
"We seem to have missed out on a lot. If you wake up, I must tell you that I like you.”She placed the wet cloth in the basin and held his hands with both hands, placing them on her cheeks.
"As long as I can be with you, nothing else matters.”She planted a kiss on the back of his hand.
Dustless was just about to step into the bedroom when he heard her words and took a few steps back. He flashed to the side and hid, his body sticking close to the wall.
The coldness of the wall seeped into his body through his clothes, but this coldness could not compare to the pain in his heart.
His hand clutched at the clothes near his chest. His fingers began to turn white, and his face was filled with pain.
He knew that she did not belong to him, but why couldn't he control his heart?
When the pain slowly subsided, he put down his hand, sorted out his thoughts, forced himself to straighten up, and strode forward.
"Shuang 'er." He called out to the figure as he walked in.
"Yes." Seeing the sadness that he had obviously concealed, she did not know how much he had heard. She wanted to comfort him, but because of her identity, she ultimately ignored those words of concern.
Actually, she originally shouldn't have called him Dustless, but should have called him Senior Brother. However, they had made an agreement that they would never reveal her identity unless necessary.
"The ingredients are ready." He knew that he couldn't hide it from her, so he deliberately smiled and said.
"Okay, go and rest first." She couldn't bear to see his smile that was uglier than crying. She turned her head away and looked out the window.
"Are you sure you want to do that?”He still didn't want her to take any risks.
"Don't you know that I'm the only one?" she said, pretending to be calm.
"With our abilities, it won't be difficult to find another person like him.”If she said yes, he would go and look for her immediately.
"There's no time, is there?" She squinted at him intently.
"…Eat it." He sighed helplessly and took out a brocade box from his pocket. After opening it, he took out a white crystal pill and handed it to her lips, indicating for her to swallow it.
"What is this?" She didn't open her mouth but reached out to take the pill from his hand.
"Ning Xiang." This was the only Congealed Fragrance that he had spent several years to refine. It had the effect of reviving the dead.
"I can't accept this." She glanced at the pill and stuffed it into his hands without hesitation.
Fragrance was refined from 1,000 rare and precious herbs. She knew that he had been searching for these 1,000 medicinal herbs for a long time. How could she snatch them away from him?
"I don't care. You have to eat it. You don't want me to worry, right?”he pleaded, forcing the pill into her palm.
"Alright." The only thing she could do was to make him feel at ease, so she agreed.
"Rest early. I'm leaving." He used his hand to rub her soft hair, then turned around and left.
She nodded at him and looked at his lonely back as he left. She was indescribably grateful.
The next morning, she instructed Qing 'an to take good care of him. After washing up, she returned to Phoenix Palace.
Walking into the small room next to the main palace, she closed the door and locked it. She turned around and looked at Dustless. Jin Xiu and Ruyi stared at her worriedly.
"No regrets?" When Dustless asked this question, the hands behind his back trembled. He strongly hoped that she would go back on her word.
"I don't regret it." She walked to the center of the room and lowered her head to look at the alchemy furnace. The black medicinal liquid was boiling.
At this moment, she was not afraid at all. Instead, she felt very happy.
Dustless opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something more to persuade her, but meeting her incomparably firm gaze, he silently did not make a sound.
"Let's begin." She lifted her wide sleeves, revealing a small section of her snow-white arms.
When she was young, her body was very weak, but she was very loved by her master, so almost every day, her master would take out the expensive pills he collected for her to eat. Gradually, her body got better and she became full of medicinal blood. Therefore, she was the best drug primer.
Wu Chen walked forward and felt her pulse with his fingers. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, he held her arm. He pulled out the dagger at his waist and flashed a white light. He closed his painful eyes and gritted his teeth as he slashed her arm.
Blood flowed down along her smooth skin and dripped into the alchemy furnace. Soon, it was covered by the black medicinal liquid.
She gritted her teeth in pain and turned her head away.
Jin Xiu and Ruyi covered their mouths, not making a sound, but tears were swirling in their eyes.
Even if she didn't look, she knew that the pain was bone-piercing. She wanted to scream, but when she saw the three of them's solemn expressions, she couldn't help but hold back.
When the red blood fell into the medicinal liquid, it was like a blooming red lotus. However, the beauty only lasted for a moment before it was quickly covered by darkness.
