“Fine, then you should also stop calling me Mistress Ji, just call me Fengyan,” Ji Fengyan said unrestrainedly.
Gong Zhiyu smiled without saying anything. His warm eyes that were still smiling glanced quickly over Ji Fengyan and he stood up. “Then Fengyan, I shall be leaving now. I will visit again tomorrow.”
“Sure,” Ji Fengyan nodded.
Gong Zhiyu did not say much and left with his two cautious men.
After Gong Zhiyu and his men had left, Zuo Nuo, who did not dare to say anything the whole time, could not hold it in any longer and approached Ji Fengyan to ask about Liu Huo’s condition. Ji Fengyan explained simply.
“Since Miss thinks that Liu Huo’s abnormality had something to do with the Everlasting Feelings Flower, then… why did you easily believe what Gong Zhiyu had said?” Zuo Nuo was a little confused. His Miss did not seem like something who could so easily be fooled.
Ji Fengyan waved her hands and said, “I know that he did not lie.”
For other people to differentiate someone’s lies, it would require many years of experience and their sharpness, but Ji Fengyan could tell whether someone was lying from their aura and gaze.
Unless someone had a certain ability to completely mask their aura, otherwise Ji Fengyan was confident that she could tell truth and lie apart.
Gong Zhiyu’s body was weak and naturally did not have that ability. Moreover, when he spoke, his gaze was like his usual self, so he was not lying. In addition, Gong Zhiyu and Liu Huo had only met the first time and did not speak to each other, so there is no point in harming Liu Huo.
“Uh, then… regarding Liu Huo…” Zuo Nuo was a little worried.
“It will be fine if I just take care of him,” Ji Fengyan sighed. She stood up and walked towards Liu Huo’s room as she tried to recall whether she had made a mistake when she was refining the elixir. Only until after she had thought for a long while and reached Liu Huo’s room could she confirm that she did not make any mistakes.
In the room, Liu Huo’s condition was still very bad. The air in the room was so hot that it could almost steam a person alive. Linghe, who was standing in the room, was already completely covered in sweat and the mattress pad under Liu Huo’s body was already soaked in sweat. That beautiful looking face was scrunched up in so much pain that it was difficult to look at.
“Miss…” Linghe saw Ji Fengyan and said breathlessly. The temperature in the room was indeed shockingly high.
“Brother Ling, you can go to settle other things first. I can take care of Liu Huo myself here,” Ji Fengyan patted Linghe’s shoulders. Linghe hesitated for a while before he left due to Ji Fengyan’s insist.
Only Ji Fengyan and Liu Huo remained in the room.
Ji Fengyan stood at the bedside and looked at Liu Huo’s pained look. The smile in her eyes was unknowingly replaced by a look of frustration.
“Little Liu Huo, it was so difficult for me to save your life. Even if Hades wanted to take it, he will have to see whether I am agreeable to it,” Ji Fengyan took a deep breath in and decisively took out the elixir that her Grand Master hand left her in the s.p.a.ce Soul Jade. After she fed it to Liu Huo, she did not leave and immediately took off her outer layer of clothes and lay on the bed. She held Liu Huo—who had curled up in pain—in her arms carefully and silently used the energy in her body wrap both of them.
A white mist slowly drifted out of Ji Fengyan’s body and surrounded the two of them. The mist drove away the heat in Liu Huo’s body bit by bit and gradually smoothed the frown between his brows.
The spiritual energy that Ji Fengyan had acc.u.mulated painstakingly was draining bit by bit. But seeing Liu Huo, who was curled up in her arms and clenching his fist tight, she could only mumble, “You rascal, if you are not going to wake up, then I will throw you into the pond.”
But the arms wrapped around him tightened a little involuntarily.

[Mini skit]
Little crazy brat: Author, you’d better come out!
Mou Bei: No I am not coming out!
Little crazy brat: What exactly did you do to my little Liu Huo?!
Mou Bei: Oh! You are actually blaming your creator because of a man, do you want to die!
Little crazy brat: Such a gorgeous young man and yet you did not let him off! You are practically inhumane!
Mou Bei: You are speaking as if you are that righteous. You should first move away your hands from someone’s b.u.t.t! I gave you a chance to take advantage of him, yet you are still bothering me, you’re so unfilial!
Liu Huo turned around to look.
Little crazy brat: Anyway he is already mine. What’s wrong with touching him?
Liu Huo: …
