Seeing me covered in wounds, Uncle Zhang rushed forward and asked with concern, "Little girl, are you okay? Do you need to go to the hospital?"
Worried about Gu Yuan, I quickly thanked him and said it wasn't necessary.
Uncle Zhang couldn't see Gu Yuan. He helped me push the bike to the door. At this time, He Bi was already waiting outside.
Seeing me covered in blood, he was startled. I forced a smile through the pain.
I told him it was okay. They were all evil wounds and I could treat them at home.
After getting home, I rushed to send Gu Yuan back to the incense table and lit three sticks of incense at the shrine.
Holding yellow paper in my hand, I was wondering whether to ask the celestial immortals for help. After all, Gu Yuan was seriously injured and I was afraid he couldn't handle it on his own.
But I was stopped by Ji Xiang beside me.
"Don't ask the celestial immortals for help."
"Why?"
Ji Xiang looked at the incense table and replied, "Can't you tell that Third Master got so seriously injured just because he fought with the celestial immortals?"
"Ah?"
I was stunned for a moment. Was Long Lin a celestial immortal?
I always thought he was just a wandering immortal in the mortal world without a master. I didn't expect him to be a celestial immortal.
"Also, your classmate, that Wei Liang. Although he was a bit selfish, he has repented. Third Master gave him a chance to turn over a new leaf. When the celestial immortal came to claim him, Third Master didn't give him up and directly sent him to reincarnation. It seems that he has escaped the fate of being a child immortal. The celestial immortal was very angry. I think Third Master must have gotten on the bad side of the celestial immortal."
So so many things had happened during the days I was away.
I put down the yellow paper and decided to listen to Ji Xiang. Gu Yuan was blessed with great fortune and he would surely turn danger into safety.
"You're right. He has boundless magical power. If he hadn't fought with the celestial immortal, he couldn't have been so seriously injured."
I looked back at Gu Yuan's memorial tablet on the incense table and felt extremely remorseful. If I had told Gu Yuan the truth when I first met Long Lin, maybe so many troubles wouldn't have arisen.
At that time, I was so afraid of Gu Yuan that I was afraid that if I told him, I would lose my life, so I kept it a secret.
I sat dejectedly beside his memorial tablet and sighed.
"Little apprentice, you're also seriously injured. Although the evil wounds have been removed, these bite marks all over your body will leave scars if not properly treated. It really makes me feel sorry for you."
How could I have the nerve to let Ji Xiang help me apply the medicine? Although he was a rat, he was still a male rat.
"It's okay. I'll go back to my room and apply the medicine myself later. He Bi has already bought the medicine for me."
I took the ointment and went back to my room. I used a cotton swab to apply the medicine on the wounds on my body.
Every touch was extremely painful. As I applied the medicine, I blew on the wounds gently.
My injuries were just skin-deep, but they were already so painful. Gu Yuan was so seriously injured. He must be in excruciating pain.
Thinking of this, I felt so sad that I threw down the ointment and stopped applying the medicine.
At night, I guarded beside Gu Yuan's memorial tablet, hoping that he would wake up soon. I promised that I would never be so rash again. I would definitely discuss things with him first.
I burned incense and prayed in front of the incense table, asking for Gu Yuan to recover quickly. In a daze, I fell asleep on the ground.
In my dream, I saw Gu Yuan again. He danced with his sword with me in a sea of flowers. I had never seen such a big smile on Gu Yuan's face.
When I woke up, there was still a smile on my lips.
I lifted the quilt and suddenly found that I was lying in bed. I clearly fell asleep beside the incense table. Who carried me to bed?
The first person that came to my mind was Gu Yuan.
I quickly jumped out of bed and even forgot to put on my slippers.
"Thud! Thud! Thud!"
I ran to the incense table to check.
In front of the incense table, the incense was constantly burning and the incense ash showed no signs of abnormality, which proved that Gu Yuan was out of danger.
I stepped on a small stool and carefully observed Gu Yuan's memorial tablet. I whispered to myself:
"I can't tell from this. Did he come out? It would be great if there was a traffic light to indicate."
"What are you looking at?"
"Ah?" The small stool tilted and I fell off it.
Before I knew it, Gu Yuan behind me stretched out his arm, grabbed my waist and pulled me into his arms.
Seeing him in perfect condition, I was indescribably happy.
I hugged his neck and cried.
"I thought I would never see you again, wuwuwu..."
But Gu Yuan looked cold and pushed me away.
I also thought I was being a bit out of control. I quickly let go of him and regained my composure.
I pursed my lips and felt a bit embarrassed.
"Sorry, I was too excited. I'm relieved to see that you're okay."
After saying that, I turned around and was about to leave.
Suddenly, I thought of the bracelet on my hand, so I turned back and raised my right hand.
"What do you mean?" Gu Yuan obviously knew what I meant but still asked.
"Can you help me take off this jade bracelet?" I said with a pout like a child who had made a mistake.
"I've already helped you two. You don't need to take it off."
I thought what he said yesterday was just out of anger. It turned out that he still remembered.
"Actually, I and him..."
"Don't explain. I don't want to hear it."
"Okay."
I lowered my head. My lips kept trembling. My eyes were hot and my throat seemed to be blocked by something.
"I... I still have classes. I'm going to school."
Saying that, I went back to my room, picked up my schoolbag and rushed out of the house.
Just as I was about to rush out, I bumped into someone's chest.
As soon as I looked up, he had already tightly hugged me into his arms.
I was very familiar with this faint sandalwood smell. It was Gu Yuan's smell.
"You're not obedient when you should be, but so obedient when you shouldn't be."
Was Gu Yuan complaining about me?
I pouted and rubbed against his chest like a little kitten: "I was wrong. I'm sorry."
He hugged me tighter and tighter.
"I've said that I'll only give you one chance, but you didn't seize it. Then don't even think about running away in the future."
I raised my hands and hugged his waist. I pressed my face against his strong chest and burst into laughter through my tears.
At this moment, I felt so happy. Immersed in his arms, I didn't even feel the pain from my injuries.
"Ah..." I was lifted into the air. Gu Yuan carried me horizontally.
"This isn't good. I still have classes this afternoon." I shyly patted his back.
Gu Yuan lowered his eyes but didn't say a word. He strode back to the room and locked the door.
Looking at his actions, my heart was pounding.
After he put me on the bed, Gu Yuan gave a charming smile and pulled down the zipper of my clothes.
I shyly wrapped my arms around his neck.
But he gently pulled my hands away and turned my body around.
"What are you thinking? You're covered in wounds but still have such dirty thoughts."
My goodness. At this moment, I was so ashamed that I wanted to find a hole to hide in.
I shyly wriggled my body and wanted to put on my clothes.
"Don't move." Gu Yuan told me not to move, so I stopped. I turned my head and looked at Gu Yuan.
He looked at the wounds on my back. One of his hands slid from my shoulder all the way to my waist.
A ticklish and cool sensation passed through me. It was very comfortable.
Yesterday I was only worried about Gu Yuan and didn't even have time to look at the wounds on my back. It seemed that this whip wound was quite long.
Gu Yuan squinted his eyes. A gloomy look appeared in his already cold eyes. One of his hands clenched tightly and his knuckles cracked.
"I'm okay. I feel much better today."
I turned around, sat cross-legged and hugged Gu Yuan's waist. I asked, "Compared with your injuries yesterday, these injuries of mine are nothing."
Gu Yuan's face was gloomy. An indescribable chill surrounded him.
"You can go to class."
Something was definitely wrong with him. Did he want to take revenge?
I quickly grabbed his hand and said, "No, Gu Yuan. I don't want you to violate the immortal rules because of me."
With Gu Yuan's thousand-year cultivation, he would probably become an immortal before long. He couldn't let such a small thing affect him.
The five great immortal families were very vindictive. Although the snake immortal wasn't as vindictive as the fox and weasel immortals, if really angered, his ability to torment people was no joke.
"Don't worry. I know what I'm doing." Gu Yuan curled the corner of his mouth, as if he had already predicted something.
Just then, my phone rang. It was Yan Lin calling.
"Lanlan, something bad has happened. Qin Lan is in trouble."
