Hearing his voice, Bai Qi's brows suddenly tightened.
"Lan Lan, go home right away."
Before I could say a word, Bai Qi waved his arm gently, and I fell from the dense clouds.
"Ah..."
The intense sense of weightlessness scared me so much that I didn't dare to open my eyes at all.
But when I landed on the ground with a thud, I was already in front of my spirit hall.
He Bi was shocked to see me falling from the sky. He quickly pushed open the door to check if I was injured.
To be honest, I've gotten used to getting injured every day. Such minor bumps and bruises don't bother me at all.
"Little Sister Ma, did your butt crack open?" Ji Xiang also came out of the spirit hall to check on me.
I rubbed my butt and gave Ji Xiang a big eye - roll.
Seeing that I was okay, He Bi asked, "Why did you fall from the sky? Where's Third Master? Why didn't he come back with you?"
I briefly told them what had happened to me. After Ji Xiang heard it,
he left a sentence: "I'll go rescue Third Master."
Then he really scurried out of the door like a big rat.
I originally wanted to go with him, but I knew I'd only be in the way, so I decided not to.
I took off the invisible camera on my chest. I found it when Gu Yuan threw the clothes to me.
Actually, Gu Yuan had given me a heads - up earlier. He was sure there would be a fierce battle today, and he would surely have no time to take care of me.
He also anticipated that Ma Banxian would definitely cause trouble for me. But since I had the war god Bai Qi as my protective spirit attendant now, Gu Yuan wasn't worried at all that I'd have an accident.
So, up to now, it had all been a plan of Gu Yuan's. He had thought of all the possible things that might happen.
Sure enough, the older, the wiser.
I wrote down all of Ma Banxian's evil deeds on the yellow paper when making the offering. Once the celestial beings above investigated and I had evidence, this Ma Banxian would probably stay in the eighteenth level of hell and never be able to turn things around for the rest of his life.
However, the days of sitting and waiting for my lover were really tough. Every second felt like a year.
I checked the clock every minute or two. I was so fidgety that I waited until it was completely dark.
The door of the spirit hall was kicked open with a "bang", scaring me to my feet.
Ji Xiang and Bai Qi supported Gu Yuan and walked in from outside.
Gu Yuan's clothes were all in tatters, and he was covered in blood. The torn clothes were stained with blood, and the blood dripped down the cloth strips.
I immediately felt dizzy, and my heart ached so much that I could hardly catch my breath.
The two of them were about to help Gu Yuan to the bed, but he stopped them.
"Don't dirty the sheets. Help me to the bathroom. Just clean the wounds with clean water."
"It's this critical moment, and you're still worried about the sheets. You'd better lie in bed and rest first. We'll clean the wounds for you."
But this guy was extremely stubborn and insisted on going to the bathroom.
There was nothing they could do. The two of them had to put him in the bathtub in the bathroom.
I quickly went to get the first - aid kit. Looking at Gu Yuan's listless appearance, I felt so heart - broken that I wanted to cry.
Gu Yuan was lying in the bathtub, his chest heaving constantly. When his eyes met mine, the chapped corners of his mouth curled up into a smile.
Ji Xiang heaved a heavy sigh and patted Bai Qi on the shoulder. Then Bai Qi followed Ji Xiang out.
I bit my lip, my eyes covered with a mist. My throat felt blocked, and I couldn't help swallowing.
"What are you still standing there for? Do you expect me to treat my own wounds?"
Gu Yuan was so weak when he spoke. How could I possibly let him treat his own wounds?
I quickly came to my senses, grabbed the first - aid kit, and squatted beside Gu Yuan. I carefully took off his clothes.
The blood at many wounds had already coagulated and scabbed. The clothes were stuck to the wounds. If I didn't reopen the wounds, I simply couldn't take the clothes off.
I held a medical cotton swab in my hand and gently wiped the area between the clothes and the wounds bit by bit. Each time I wiped, my brows would twitch.
By the end, I was really heart - broken to the point of being breathless. Tears welled up in my eyes. I tried hard to hold them back, but finally I couldn't help it, and the tears streamed down my face.
"Ah~" Gu Yuan couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.
"Does it hurt a lot? I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'll go slower." I pouted and stared wide - eyed at the wound.
"The wound didn't hurt originally, but when your sad tears fall on it, it hurts terribly."
"It's this time, and you're still saying sweet words." I thought he was just trying to make me happy and stop me from being sad.
"Do you know that tears are salty? You're practically pouring salt on my wound. Do you think it won't hurt?"
When he said this, I felt even more self - reproachful. I sat on the ground with a thud, holding the tweezers in my hand, and burst into tears.
"I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I made you suffer again. I can't do anything right. Wuwuwu..."
Gu Yuan was lying in the bathtub, letting me vent my pain. His listless face was full of a doting smile.
I knew it wasn't good for me to act like this, but I really couldn't help it. I always felt that I was a burden to him. I had always said that I had the peach - blossom curse, and whoever liked me would be unlucky. Sure enough.
Seeing him still smiling, my mouth drooped even more.
I raised my hand to wipe away my tears, then walked back to his side and continued to treat his wounds.
Gu Yuan was really a celestial being. As I treated his wounds like this, some places were almost reopening the scabs. Except for the time when my tears fell on him and he let out a muffled groan, he didn't frown at all during the whole process.
"How are the two people who fought with you now?" I wanted to distract his attention by talking.
"One is dead, and one is injured." Gu Yuan said casually.
"Who's dead? Huai Ji?"
Gu Yuan shook his head: "He was rescued. The celestial being above is dead."
I was so shocked that my chin almost dropped.
"You killed a celestial being above? Won't the Heavenly Court blame you?"
"Didn't you already report the matter of the celestial being above on the yellow paper?"
I nodded and said yes.
"Then there's no problem. What are you still worried about?"
"Who was that celestial being above? Do we know him?" I continued to ask.
"It was a spiritual Hooked Snake. A ferocious beast is a ferocious beast. It can't change its nature even after ten thousand years."
The Hooked Snake is one of the top ten ancient ferocious beasts. Gu Yuan actually got the upper hand, killed the Hooked Snake, and seriously injured the Ghost Lord. His skills are truly heaven - defying.
I'm becoming more and more interested in his background.
"Gu Yuan, are you really a Flying Snake?"
When Gu Yuan heard me ask this, his eyes drooped slightly. He raised his hand and gently rubbed my wrist, as if he hadn't heard my question.
"You're also injured."
I looked down at my slightly bruised wrist and said, "Compared with yours, is this even an injury?"
I had taken off all his clothes and threw them aside. I took out the disinfectant and sprayed it on Gu Yuan's wounds.
Then I bandaged him up with gauze.
"Now you can go back to the room." I supported Gu Yuan and helped him to the bed.
"You have a good rest. I'll come to see you tomorrow."
I was just walking to the door with the first - aid kit in my hand when Gu Yuan let out a painful scream.
My heart skipped a beat. The first - aid kit fell to the ground. I quickly rushed over to check on him.
Was there something wrong with the wound that I hadn't treated properly?
