Unfortunately, Yun Yanli was poisoned. His complexion started to grow pale as a white sheet. Concurrently, his lips were turning black.His protective gesture was heartwarming, so Gu Xijiu quickly put an antidote into his mouth. "Eat this quickly."
Yun Yanli swallowed the pill without any second thought. He did not even look at the pill. His act showed that he trusted her completely. His feelings toward her were now crystal clear, which made Gu Xijiu feel guilty for not sharing the same sentiment. The antidote was a gift from Di Fuyi. It was able to counteract many kinds of poison. Also, it came into effect in a very short time.
The two of them were now hiding in a valley. The place was quiet and well-hidden, so not many ferocious animals were around. Although the poison was cleared out of Yun Yanli"s bloodstream, the wound was still bleeding. Hence, Gu Xijiu had to take care of the wound with a proper dressing.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.
The wound was on his back, so Yun Yanli could not wrap it himself. Gu Xijiu looked at him fixedly, telling him to take off his robes, so that she could take care of the wound.
Yun Yanli hesitated. "I… If I have to take off my robes, I am afraid that it will offend you."
Gu Xijiu was starting to lose her patience. "I only want to treat the wound and nothing more. Take it off!"
The wound was located somewhere below his shoulder, so he had to take off his inner s.h.i.+rt as well. Loosely, the robes hung around his waist, revealing his bareback.
Yun Yanli was a good-looking man; his body shape was almost perfect. In fact, his toned back made him look fit, and his soft and supple skin complemented it. Since he was a very traditional man, the way he dressed was very appropriate. In the past, many were attracted to his physical stature. Suddenly, his robes slowly slipped from his shoulder, revealing every inch of his skin. Although he could not see her face, he could somehow feel her intense gaze at his back.
"Quickly! We do not have much time! Why are you so slow in taking off your clothes?" Gu Xijiu sounded very impatient.
Yun Yanli was speechless. From the tone of her voice, perhaps she was not impressed with what she had seen. Hence, Yun Yanli moved faster. Although she had disabled the surrounding acupuncture points, the bleeding still continued, signifying the extent of the injury.
Concerned, Gu Xijiu had another idea. As the wound was too deep, she had to st.i.tch it up. The more she thought about it, the more she could visualize the sequence of the st.i.tching procedure. She cast a few spells with her hand to reveal a needle and medical thread. Shocked, she stared at the items on her hand. The people of Shura World would not usually st.i.tch any wounds. The best they could do was to wrap it up with proper dressing.
At this point, there was no room for contemplation. She quickly cleared her mind and proceeded with what she needed to do.
"Will you be able to endure the pain? If not, I will not st.i.tch the wound for you."
"I will be all right."
Without anesthesia, it would be painful when the needle poked through his skin. Sweat broke out across his forehead, but Yun Yanli endured the pain in silence. Furthermore, when Gu Xijiu touched his back, he was surprisingly overwhelmed by a sense of comfort and ease that made him forget about the pain for a moment.
However, the more attention he paid to her, the more obvious it became that his beautiful back did not attract her. Every st.i.tch was done swiftly without any hesitation. Surely, she was not concerned if he was in pain. In the end, there was a look of disappointment in his eyes as drops of sweat continued to roll down his head slowly, drop by drop.
