Chapter 137 You stepped on my foot!
"I actually made a similar medicine and used it yesterday." When she said this, she thought of Nanqi.
Yesterday, when Nanqi was seriously injured by a tiger and was on the verge of death, she gave him a medicine to boost his vitality. Although it couldn't cure the external injuries, it could quickly restore his internal strength and help his body protect and repair itself.
Later on, as long as the treatment is timely, his life should be safe.
"By the way, how is Nanqi?" Did he return safely?
With Beiji here, he will definitely be able to send him back safely, right?
Baili Moqing briefly told her about Nanqi's situation.
When he arrived, the news from the military camp was that his life had been saved.
"At least I'm alive." Shu He breathed a sigh of relief.
What Nanqi was eating was actually a semi-finished product from her experimental research, and its side effects were no less severe than those of Shen Wu. Therefore, she would have to find a way to heal Nanqi's damaged tendons and veins.
"A person can only take medicine made from Night-Glow Grass three times in their lifetime. Beyond a certain amount, there will be no benefits, only drawbacks. Therefore, it's impossible for a person to achieve a significant leap in strength through medicine!"
"Besides, this kind of medicine has a complicated production process and the raw materials are hard to find, so the price is naturally not something that ordinary people can afford."
"But once this kind of medicine is developed, it will definitely be a hot commodity."
"In this world, there are always people who are willing to spend money lavishly for power. When the time comes, I will be able to make a fortune with this medicine!"
Once she has money, connections and strength, it will be time for her to return to Kyoto.
At that time, she would recover the debts owed to her one by one!
Oh, it makes me excited just thinking about it!
"Huh? Why aren't you talking?"
Shu He spoke excitedly for a long time, but Baili Moqing didn't even give her a response.
Isn’t this something worth being happy about?
Baili Moqing walked on by himself, really not wanting to talk. She spoke with great interest and excitement, but what did this have to do with him? He didn't need that kind of medicine.
Seeing that he still didn't speak, Shu He was puzzled and pulled his arm, "Hey, I'm asking you a question, can you give me a response?"
He had thought she was the woman with no internal strength. He was completely unprepared for her pull and was directly pulled back, pressing in front of her.
She raised her head and looked at him, her eyes bright as if countless stars were twinkling.
But why did that face, which was already a bit ugly, become even uglier?
"Ah!! You stepped on my foot!!" Shu He's face was twisted with pain and she pushed him away with force.
Baili Moqing took two steps back and realized that his right foot seemed to have stepped on something soft yet hard.
Is that her foot?
Shu He was almost crying from the pain!
Did this man do this on purpose? He kicked her so hard! He even stepped on her already injured foot!
"Are you, are you okay?" Baili Moqing squatted down and looked down at her sitting on the ground holding her feet, as if she was in pain.
This can't be blamed on him, right?
He spoke quickly as if to shirk responsibility, "You pulled me!"
After hearing this, Shu He didn't even care about the pain in her feet, staring straight at him. Her watery eyes wavered, as if containing infinite grievances. The next moment, crystal tears overflowed from her eyes, silently accusing him.
That tear fell and hit somewhere in his heart, making him feel helpless.
"Don't cry! I didn't mean it."
She didn't say anything, but tears continued to fall.
His handsome and perfect facial features fully illustrate what it means to be "at a loss".
He, the God of War of Apocalypse, had never encountered such a difficult situation!
Her frown was a bit helpless, and although her tone was much softer, it still carried a hint of confusion, "It was just a step on my foot, you don't have to..."
Before he finished saying the word "Yu", he saw the tears on her face becoming more and more violent, which made him feel a little blocked and uncomfortable.
"Okay, okay, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I shouldn't shirk responsibility. Please, stop crying, okay?"
"You're a mother, why are you crying like a child? Xiao Yi'er is stronger than you!"
Shu He felt a little better after hearing the previous sentence, but before she could stop crying, the bastard said this again...
"Baili Moqing!!"
The man's face froze slightly, realizing that his words were inappropriate, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.
He coughed lightly, held her shoulders, adjusted his attitude, and apologized sincerely, "I'm sorry. I really didn't mean it. I forgot that your internal strength had increased, and I wasn't prepared for your strength..."
When she heard this, for some reason, the grievance she had felt before seemed to disappear with the flow of those tears.
Looking at the man's awkward and flustered look, she just thought it was a little cute...
However, her tears had not dried yet. She looked at him pitifully and asked, "So it's still my problem, right?"
"No, that's not what I meant, I..."
"I can't walk anymore." She interrupted his explanation and whispered, "My leg is already injured..."
His eyes fell on her torn trouser legs. The white pants were stained with blood and something else, and there was a faint fishy smell. Only then did he realize that her leg was bandaged with a wound.
"What's going on?" He frowned, touched her wound with his fingers, and his expression changed slightly.
She squatted on the ground, her eyes fell on his hands, and her heart was touched.
This was the first time he took the initiative to touch her.
"It fell."
Baili Moqing stared at her wound for a long time, as if struggling. Finally, he turned his back and said in a muffled voice, "Come up."
Shu He was shocked.
Is he going to carry her on his back?
Seeing that she didn't move for a long time, he turned around and looked at her, "Don't you want to go? Then go by yourself."
"Go, go, go!" Shu He immediately smiled and jumped onto his back.
His face turned slightly dark and he almost fell down, but luckily he used his hands to support himself on the ground.
Does this woman really look like she can't walk? She looks so energetic, but she doesn't look like that at all!
He carried her on his back and walked silently, his emotions surging inside, but he couldn't tell what he was feeling.
Shu He leaned against his back, feeling much better. It really felt good not to have to walk.
When was the last time you were carried on your back? When you were five or six?
At that time, Shu Yue was still young, and her two brothers loved her very much. She often liked to run after them. The older brother would even carry her home when she got tired from playing.
Unfortunately, everything changed at some point.
She seemed to have become the person they hated the most. Every time they saw her, they only felt disgust and scolding...
We are obviously the closest people, but we are worse than strangers...
Baili Moqing was a little surprised to see that she hadn't said anything.
"Yes, does it still hurt?" A gentle questioning voice brought her back to her senses.
She only heard the last three words.
Does it still hurt?
Why did this seemingly ordinary sentence make her sound so tender at this moment?
Her heart was throbbing, and because of these words, it seemed as if something had broken out of the ground deep in her heart and was growing wildly and unrestrainedly.
"Ah."
She responded softly, and at that moment, she felt the man's body tense up for a moment.
He paused slightly, then continued walking without saying another word.
She put her arm around his shoulders and looked at him sideways.
His facial features were sharp and angular, his lines were hard yet soft, his skin was smooth and fair, and his whole face looked like a piece of pure white jade carefully carved out.
There was a gleam in his deep eyes and his brows were slightly furrowed, not knowing what he was thinking.
In the meeting hall of the Beast Tamer Clan, Li Ziru stood at the first seat with a gloomy expression, and below him were the Beast Tamers and elders of the clan.
Fei Qi and Lan Qing were also among them. However, Lan Qing's expression was slightly silent. No matter how much the argument in the hall went on, he didn't say a word.
"I disagree!" An older man among the beastmasters sitting below spoke up. "To put so many beastmasters in our tribe at risk just for one woman? Isn't that putting the cart before the horse?"
"Uncle Lan Gui is right, Young Clan Leader, that's the Xishan Clan! How can we get in? If we're discovered, it would be like us provoking a war!"
"Yes, the Beast Tamers don't have many manpower to begin with. If we are discovered and the Xishan tribe attacks us, I'm afraid our Beast Tamers will be wiped out!"
"That's right! You absolutely can't do this for a woman!"
