“No, that’s not” Ji Xiaoxi quickly averted her eyes “I didn’t think that you were that good-looking” She had been too eood look at him while in the water earlier on, and it was only now that she finally got a good glimpse of his appearance

“Indeed Back in my hometown, my family and friends nicknahted to be acknowledged by a beauty When Cheng Shouping mentioned that the First Miss of the Chu clan had taken hiht that it was just bootlicking It see in this world[1]

“Who is Daniel Wu?” Ji Xiaoxi asked in confusion

“Ah, he’s one of the best-looking an to reminisce about his other world He missed his handphone and the internet, and the boredorated at him

“Oh” Ji Xiaoxi’s face reddened a little All of a sudden, she said, “You aren’t a good person”

“Ah? Why is that so?” Zu An was astonished While the young woer than hiht now, it could spell trouble

“You said that the assrip Wolves were chasing you, and you fell into the water in a moment of fluster However, there are no assrip Wolf tracks in this area Furthermore, your clothes are folded neatly on the riverbank, which means you had been relaxed as you entered the water The situation is entirely different from what you described,” Ji Xiaoxi said as she pointed to the round She was naive, but she wasn’t a fool

Zu An laughed in e with one another had given hirasp of her personality He quickly explained, “I didn’t want to lie to you, but I was afraid that you would iven the situation ere in That’s why I spun such a tale However, it’s true that I lost consciousness and ept downstrea about that”

“Is that so?” Ji Xiaoxi assessed him suspiciously froh You don’t appear to be ill to me Give me your hand”

“What?” Zu An was a little perplexed, but she had an air about her that made it hard to refuse He stretched his hand out obediently

Three icy fingers fell on his wrist, and in that entle tenderness replaced by an unexpected severity

Even a chatterbox like Zu An dared not say anything out of fear of interrupting her

“I see There’s indeed a probleers Her wariness toward him lessened, replaced by pity “I’m afraid I lack the skills to treat you However, you need not worry My father should be able to do it”

Seeing the young wo the lower half of his body in sy in his eyes Whichto shoeakness to a woman? He wanted to tease her, but now that she’d clearly seen the state he was in How e his arain, hoas he to know that this young woman was actually such a capable physician?

Wait a moment, her surname is Ji, and she’s skilled in ht?

“May I ask who your father is?”

Ji Xiaoxi replied with a sweet shtht have heard of him” She had been unsure of hi of his illness The earlier peeking incident had to have been an unintended coincidence

“Ah, Divine Physician Ji I have heard of hi her about how Divine Physician Ji’s task had brought hi his unfocused look for concern over his illness, she quickly consoled hi you home to meet my father He should have a way to treat you”

“But I still need to collect goubaos” Zu An was skeptical of Ji Xiaoxi’s offer to help He had seen just how in love with money Divine Physician Ji was, and he had not hesitated to put down his daughter in public There was little chance someone like that would help him if he did not complete the task

Ji Xiaoxi hesitated at his words “But given your strength, I’ was crystal clear It’s not that I want to look down on you, but your strength is indeed trash

Zu An chuckled in response “I had been troubled by thisyou”

“Afterme?” Ji Xiaoxi appeared unsure “But I’on feces, those assrip Wolves would only stay as far away as possible As for the sedative, I used it all up when dealing with the Crazy Red-Eyed Rhino”

That this young woman had survived all this tiiven away all of her truer without any hesitation Had she never contemplated the possibility that he could be a bad person?

Perhaps she believed that she had no need to ward herself against someone afflicted with his condition

“Don’t worry, I don’t need your help I can settle this by myself,” Zu An replied with a secretive smile “You ressive?”

“Indeed,” Ji Xiaoxi nodded Her eyes widened in realization “You’re intending to use the Crazy Red-Eyed Rhino to deal with those assrip Wolves? Even though the Crazy Red-Eyed Rhino has thick skin, it’s much slower than those assrip Wolves It’ll be hard for it to kill them Not only that, the leader of the assrip Wolves appears to have reached the third rank In a real fight, I’m afraid that the Crazy Red-Eyed Rhino wouldn’t be a match for them”

“I have an idea inmysteriously He made his way downstream Ji Xiaoxi followed closely behind, still perplexed

They returned to the place they had firstto rouse As potent as Ji Xiaoxi’s sedative was, the ah to knock the

Zu An quickly turned to Ji Xiaoxi and asked, “Do you have a handkerchief?”

“I do” Ji Xiaoxi pulled out a clean white handkerchief and passed it to hirance

Zu An hesitated “Do you have one that is used? It’ll be a pity to dirty this one”

“It’s fine, I’ll just wash it afterwards” Ji Xiaoxi waved her hand casually

Zu An doubted she would even want to touch it once he was through He said instead, “Okay, I’ll owe you a handkerchief then I’ll buy you a new one e get back to the city”
