Chapter 65 - Are you a fool? (1/2)
”Ngh...” Kyuri winces in pain when Wu Yixing makes a small cut on her hand. No blood comes out. Wu Yixing keeps a straight face. The small cut heals itself in seconds. Is this poison or magic?
She can feel pain though.
”I guess it can't be helped.” She chuckles lightly, but her eyes can't hide the fear.
”I will take a layer of skin if it is alright with you?” Since blood cannot be taken, a small piece of flesh should do. ”It will hurt.”
”No.” Yoori can't see more. ”Xiao Wei isn't your guinea pig.”
”It's fine.” Kyuri gives him a nod. ”Take it. I also want to see how bad it is.”
”Do you have to take her flesh?” Li Jun grabs Wu Yixing's hand when he tries to pull up the sleeve on her arm. ”Take hair or nails.”
”That won't help.” Wu Yixing frowns at him. ”I wouldn't do this to Xiao Wei if there was another way.”
”If you aren't fine with it, say no.” Li Jun glances at the bold witch. ”We will find another healer.”
”Another healer might report me as a demon. I might be burned alive.” She shrugs her shoulder. ”It's strange that both of you are calm after seeing this. I trust Wu Yixing. Let him do what's necessary.”
Three of them are surprised to hear the sincerity in her words. Each of them has a mixed feeling about this. Li Jun lets go of Wu Yixing's hand. ”Don't take more than necessary.”
Wu Yixing wonders what his friend thinks him. Why would he take more than necessary? Shaking his head, he takes a slice of the skin from her arm. She bites her lips and makes no noise when he makes the cut. He puts down the layer of flesh with blood on the porcelain plate. The skin regrows on her arm. At the same time, the flesh on the porcelain plate becomes black and melts away in the air, leaving nothing.
”It's useless.” She looks disappointed. ”I appreciate that you tried.”
”I will take some strands of hair.” He cuts away some hair before she can say anything. Just like the flesh, the strands of hair melt away in the air. It looks like it will be gone as soon as it is separated from her body.
”Enough!” Li Jun scowls at Wu Yixing before he can make another suggestion. He glares at Kyuri. ”We are leaving.”
”My apologies.” Wu Yixing can see that his friend has reached the limit of his patience. His wife is also going to kick him anytime. Why are they mad at him? ”There is only one way left. We will... ”
Li Jun grabs her arm and drags her out of the place before Wu Yixing could finish his words.
”Are you a fool?” Li Jun grimaces at me in the carriage. ”Treating your body without any care.”
