Chapter 260 - You are My Woman (1/2)

Seeing Huangfu Qingjue’s injured appearance, Ling Chuxi’s heart tensed up and she asked urgently, “Are you okay? How do you feel right now?” As she spoke, she grabbed Huangfu Qingjue’s wrist and read his pulse. There was obvious panic and concern in her eyes.

“I’m fine,” murmured Huangfu Qingjue as he smiled gently. However, his pale face did not make his answer look the least bit convincing.

Ling Chuxi took Huangfu Qingjue’s pulse and knitted her brows together even harder. He had such serious internal injuries! His qi and blood were both churning all around within and his inner qi was very unstable.

“You know, you really are stupid. Why did you help me withstand that strike of heavenly lightning for? You almost died!” admonished Ling Chuxi as she rummaged through her belongings for her gold needles to administer treatment to Huangfu Qingjue. However, in her heart, she was deeply moved by his gesture. Ling Chuxi knew very well that if Huangfu Qingjue hadn’t come forward when he did, she really would have died today! She could not have survived that eighth strike of heavenly lightning no matter how she went about it.

“How could I let anything happen to you?” asked Huangfu Qingjue as he looked at the pet.i.te girl who was busy administering gold needles to him. Seeing how she did not cover up her concern and worry for him, he felt a pang of delight in his heart despite his injuries.

Ling Chuxi raised her head and looked into Huangfu Qingjue’s purple eyes. She could see that the look in his eyes was full of pampering and gentleness. For a moment, Ling Chuxi s.p.a.ced out. Huangfu Qingjue also did not say anything and only stared back at Ling Chuxi quietly.

It was as if time stood still.

Silence triumphed over sound in this moment.

After a long while, a gentle breeze blew past them and the chirp of a small bird trilled clearly from somewhere beside them. Ling Chuxi finally regained her senses.

“Why did you appear here?” asked Ling Chuxi softly as she lowered her head to continue administering the gold needles. Why was her heart beating so fast at this moment?

“Since you are here, naturally I will be too,” answered Huangfu Qingjue indirectly with a smile.

Ling Chuxi also did not continue to pursue the matter. Anyway, since Huangfu Qingjue did not wish to talk about it, naturally she would not be getting any answers. He was always so elusive. It was fine once she got used to it.
