To make Shen Li lie more comfortably, Ming Yue moved her to the couch beside.
Watching Xuan Yuanjue, who had been pale - faced, suddenly regain some color in his face, Ming Yue felt a bit puzzled. She then felt Xuan Yuanjue's pulse and was surprised to find that his pulse, instead of being as weak as a gossamer, had become very strong. The poison in his body had also been dispelled in an instant.
The reason Xuan Yuanjue hadn't woken up was that he had been in a coma for too long and was physically exhausted. He needed some time to regain his strength before he could wake up.
One didn't need to guess to know what had happened here. Ming Yue's look at Xuan Yuanjue became even more disdainful.
"Chi Xia, come and see your master!" Ming Yue pushed open the door and called out to the outside. Her tone was not good; there was even a hint of complaint in it.
Hearing Ming Yue calling him, Chi Xia immediately appeared in front of her. Looking flustered, he asked, "What's wrong with my master?"
Ming Yue rolled her eyes and glanced into the room. "He's fine. The ginseng soup on the table is still warm. Hurry up and feed it to your master. Who knows what might happen next? My lady might have to suffer along with him."
Chi Xia was quite confused by Ming Yue's attitude. He couldn't figure out why she had suddenly changed like this. He thought that neither he nor his master had offended Ming Yue.
When Chi Xia walked into the room and picked up the still - warm bowl of ginseng soup, he accidentally caught sight of Shen Li lying on the couch beside, eyes closed. He didn't know what had happened to her, but she looked rather pale.
Seeing his master with a rosy complexion, Chi Xia was extremely grateful to Shen Li. Although Chi Xia didn't know much about medicine, he could tell that his master was getting better. So he was really thankful to Shen Li.
After an unknown amount of time, Xuan Yuanjue suddenly coughed and gasped for breath. Then he abruptly opened his eyes.
His pupils were as black as two drops of indissoluble ink. He was dazed for a moment but finally came to his senses and regained his former dazzling charm. A sense of weakness washed over him.
Seeing Xuan Yuanjue wake up, Chi Xia's face lit up with joy. "Master, you're finally awake!"
"You..." Xuan Yuanjue wanted to speak, but the weakness and pain in his body made it difficult. He covered his chest, his brows tightly knitted.
Chi Xia quickly supported Xuan Yuanjue and asked with concern, "Master, are you okay?"
Xuan Yuanjue waved his hand and said softly, "I'm fine."
Ming Yue walked over, glanced at Xuan Yuanjue, and said contemptuously, "Awake? Humph..."
Xuan Yuanjue looked at Ming Yue in confusion. Breathing weakly, he asked, "Why is she here?"
"Master, Tian Qing invited Miss Shen here to detoxify you. Master, what on earth happened to you? How did you get so seriously injured and poisoned? It was Miss Shen who went to find the heir of the Immortal Valley to save you," Chi Xia patiently explained.
"Li'er is here?" Xuan Yuanjue was extremely surprised. He lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed to look for Shen Li.
Chi Xia stopped his movement and exclaimed, "Master, you can't. You're still injured and you can't get out of bed."
"Don't stop me. I'm going to find Li'er," Xuan Yuanjue slapped away Chi Xia's hand that was holding him back. He stared at Chi Xia fiercely. Although he was seriously ill, his imposing manner remained undiminished.
Ming Yue strode up to Xuan Yuanjue's bedside and shouted, "My young master, are you ignoring your own physical condition? If anything else happens, my lady will have to suffer along with you!" There was a hint of jealousy in her words, full of sarcasm.
But Xuan Yuanjue didn't care about Ming Yue's attitude towards him. Instead, he anxiously asked, "What do you mean? What happened to Li'er?" His eyes were full of worry; he was deeply concerned about Shen Li.
"It's all your fault that my lady is still in a coma!" Ming Yue was extremely unbalanced now that Xuan Yuanjue had woken up. Why was her lady still asleep while this patient had already regained consciousness?
"What! Li'er is in a coma! I'm going to see her. Tell me where she is!" Xuan Yuanjue's heroic face was full of panic.
He tried his best to break free from Chi Xia's hold, but due to his lack of strength, he fell directly to the ground.
Chi Xia was shocked. He quickly helped Xuan Yuanjue up from the ground and said anxiously, "Master, you can't use your inner strength in your current state. What if you get injured again? Miss Shen has been taking care of you. Now she's sleeping on the couch beside."
Seeing Xuan Yuanjue's face, which had just regained a bit of color, turn pale again, Ming Yue felt a bit sorry for him. She pursed her lips and said, "Alright, alright. Please take care of your own body first, young master. I still have to take care of my lady."
Hearing this news, Xuan Yuanjue finally let out a sigh of relief. He lay back on the bed and looked at Chi Xia with joy in his eyes. "Is Li'er really beside me? Isn't it uncomfortable to sleep on the couch? How about I change places with her?"
"No, no. We shouldn't disturb Li'er. Chi Xia, go and find another couch for me. I want to watch Li'er. I'll feel more at ease this way."
Chi Xia stayed beside Xuan Yuanjue, listening to his master's constant muttering. Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Master, please be quiet. You haven't recovered yet. What if Miss Shen wakes up and still finds you looking so sick? She could easily beat you with one hand. What if she dislikes you?"
Xuan Yuanjue gave Chi Xia a disdainful look and said coldly, "Keep your voice down. What if you wake Li'er up?"
It was not until nightfall that Shen Li finally woke up. She stretched lazily but accidentally pulled the wound on her wrist. She couldn't help but gasp in pain. "Ouch..."
Hearing the noise, Xuan Yuanjue immediately woke up and called out Shen Li's name. "Li'er? You're awake!"
This voice startled Shen Li. When she got off the couch and walked inside, she found Xuan Yuanjue holding his face and looking at her with joy in his eyes. With the weak light of the candle, she could clearly see Xuan Yuanjue's appearance.
For a moment, Shen Li couldn't believe that Xuan Yuanjue had woken up.
