Just as Lu Meili was thinking about her next plan with the remaining magic that she had, Long Cheng suddenly asked furiously, placing her down on her feet, his scaled face looking down on her injuries. The stealth talisman was already running out before Lu Meili could have finalized her plan. She did not even have any left now, so the reaction from Long Cheng caught her off guard and surprised her.
At the moment, Long Cheng was looking at her dishevelled appearance. She was wet from the rain, her feet were dirty with mud, due to running, and there were minor wounds, he didn"t seem to miss.
"Meili… Why don"t you take care of yourself more?" He asked in a whisper as he reached for her feet before Long Cheng lifted his hand and carefully examined her thigh wound.
Lu Meili could not answer as her eyes were locked on his face. She heard him hiss under his breath while he carefully inspected the wound on her thigh. Even though he looked like a red human lizard, his eyes with slits of yellow could not hide his displeased expression, that was also mixed with grave worry.
She wasn"t able to ignore the strange feeling in her heart that gave her warmth."What will he look like if he saw the bigger wound on my back?"Lu Meili thought with a smile before she suddenly frowned with confusion.
"Don"t be stupid. Don"t be fooled."She chanted to herself, before remembering that her Scarlet pendant was not with her, and that was the exact reason why Lu Meili was getting strange emotions for another being.
Yes, the scarlet pendant was a gift from her mother and was refined by her master so that her emotions could always be controlled and stay in check.
With that, Lu Meili was only to blame herself for losing it. Which was the exact reason for her, committing so many mistakes in such a short time. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
Despite these thoughts, Lu Meili still couldn"t help but constantly stare at Long Cheng, who was still engrossed in inspecting her wounds. The red scales on his face had lessened considerably, allowing her to see more of his expression now. He was furious and hurt. It was more like he was blaming himself for her injuries.
She was not sure how long he had been looking for Long Cheng suddenly leaned down and started licking her wounds.
"What in the h.e.l.l, are you doing?!" Lu Meili yelled, almost dumbfounded.
"Don"t move!" He ordered sternly, his hold getting tighter.
Lu Meili tried to move away from him because the moment his tongue had touched the burned wound. It started throbbing more painfully.
"Stop!" She insisted, trying to push him away, but was getting weaker by the second, causing Lu Meili to panic. "What are you doing to me?" She asked, voice getting weak. The wounds bleeding had already stopped because of the magic she had cast earlier, but it didn"t mean they would be completely healed in a short time. Lu Meili was not aware that Long Cheng was trying to completely close the wounds.
It was painful at first but slowly, the ache vanished and slowly warmth spread on her body, lulling her to sleep.
"Don"t worry. This will remove the pain…" He whispered against her skin. Long Cheng gave Lu Meili a quick glance and saw that her eyes were hooded, which also meant, she won"t be in pain anymore while he injected healing properties on her open wounds.
His body contained a unique const.i.tution compared to the other dragon s.h.i.+fters. Though their saliva could heal, he was probably the only one who could manipulate it to become something else, for example, anesthesia.
Long Cheng never wanted to remember how he got the skill. He never tried to use it. However, he was not able to stand it when his mate was hurting because of him. After all, it was partially his fault that his mate was in such a state.
He released a deep breath before proceeding further. It did not take long for the wounds on her thigh to completely dry up like magic.
Inspecting the burn wound, Long Cheng nodded in approval. He then scanned her for other injuries. When he noticed that the scent of blood, coming from Lu Meili was still strong.
Long Cheng frowned in confusion, searching for other wounds, "d.a.m.n it!" He suddenly exclaimed, seething in anger when he saw another burnt wound on her back that was way larger than the one on her thigh.
