Chapter 2441 - 2441 Thank Him

2441 Thank Him

Xiao Ba was already injured severely. She had relied on her willpower to barely hold on just now. Now that she saw Shu Jing’s pearl of essence shatter, she relaxed and couldn’t hold on anymore.

Her vision darkened, and she collapsed. But before she fell to the ground, her waist tightened as she was picked up.

She forced her eyes open and saw a familiar handsome and cold face.

She frowned and started to push him. “Let go of me!”

She didn’t care just now, but she came back to her senses now. Yan Qing is… the Left Divine General!

No wonder he is called Yan Qing.

No wonder Shu Jing had such a big reaction when she heard how I addressed him.

No wonder he has always stayed in that small courtyard and rarely went out.

No wonder—

There were too many ‘no wonders!’

She didn’t think so before, but now that she thought about it, there were clearly suspicious points everywhere! However, why would she have thought of this back then?

Xiao Ba was very angry, and the nameless fire in her heart burned! “Let—let go!”

She pushed Yan Qing with both hands very hard. Unfortunately, this bit of strength wasn’t enough for Yan Qing.

Apart from feeling a firm chest, there was nothing else.

“Don’t make a scene.” Yan Qing frowned and carried her out of the competition area.

Xiao Ba exploded. What?! He actually said that I’m making a scene?! Please, can you figure out who was the one who lied and did something shameful first!?

She caught her breath and raised her voice. “Men and women shouldn’t touch each other! Don’t you know this?!”

Yan Qing stopped in his tracks, but it was only for a moment before he continued forward.

Xiao Ba began to twist crazily in his arms, wanting to jump down. She didn’t want to see his face at all!

Yan Qing’s glabella froze slightly. He exerted strength with his palm and turned slightly to grab her waist.

Suddenly, his entire body stiffened.

Xiao Ba was wearing a short shirt and a long pleated skirt.

Usually, when she stood, the broken jade pieces at the bottom of her short shirt only covered her slender and fair waist. Now that she was in Yan Qing’s arms, her slender waist was revealed when she moved.

Yan Qing’s hand happened to press on that warm and soft area.

Under his palm were some jade beads that were a little uncomfortable. A few tassels were wrapped around his fingers, and… an unbelievably soft and smooth touch.

The warmth spread from his palm all the way.

His ears suddenly turned red. For a moment, he didn’t know if he should continue or…

But at this moment, Xiao Ba suddenly curled up and let out a low groan. It sounded like she was in pain.

Yan Qing frowned and looked down. Only then did he see that there was a large bruise on her originally fair and eye-catching waist.

There were even bloodstains on it.

It was a shocking sight.

Yan Qing immediately understood that this was the injury caused by her hitting the cauldron, and his touch happened to press against her wound.

He immediately changed the position of his hand.

Xiao Ba’s aggrieved voice sounded. “Yan Qing! You’re hurting me!”

Although she was angry, she became especially soft because of her grievances. There was even a hint of hoarseness in her voice.

Yan Qing stiffened. After a moment, he whispered, “I won’t do it again.”

His voice was very low, and not many people heard him, but Xiao Ba heard it.

Shu Jing heard it too. Her temples throbbed, and her heart seemed to be clenched by something.

Even the wound on her lower abdomen was numb from the pain.

No way… When has the high and mighty Left Divine General ever spoken to anyone in such a low and gentle voice?

Shu Jing swallowed a mouthful of blood, but her hands supporting her body gradually tightened, drawing an ear-piercing sound on the ground.

The rough and sharp pain couldn’t be reduced at all.

She stared at the two of them.

Xiao Ba still didn’t seem to appreciate his kindness. She only turned her head, and the corners of her eyes were red.

Just like that, Yan Qing carried her silently and arrived in front of Chu Liuyue.

…

At this point, Yan Qing finally put Xiao Ba down.

The moment Xiao Ba’s feet landed, she immediately pounced on Chu Liuyue. “Master!”

Chu Liuyue supported her and took her pulse. Then, she frowned slightly.

Shu Jing had used a lot of strength, so Xiao Ba’s internal injuries were indeed very serious.

She took a deep breath and took out a pill. She fed it to Xiao Ba and divided a portion of her holy force, pouring it into Xiao Ba’s Yuan meridian to heal her injuries.

After a while, some color returned to Xiao Ba’s face. However, her body was stained with blood, her eyes were red, and there was a large bruise on her waist.

She looked really pitiful.

She sighed with heartache. “You’re not allowed to do this again. How is that pill more important than you?”

Xiao Ba glanced at her. “But… she’s coming to look for Master…”

If I failed, I would lose Master’s face and be strangled to death on the spot. How tragic! Therefore, no matter what, I had to protect the Green Glass Scarlet Fire Pill at that moment.

Chu Liuyue didn’t say anything and took out another jade bottle.

With a flick of her slender and fair fingers, she took out some cream that was slightly green and applied it on Xiao Ba’s waist.

A cool feeling came over her, instantly relieving the pain.

Xiao Ba hugged one of her arms and leaned her head over, pouting and wheedling. “I knew that Master treated me the best.”

Chu Liuyue lowered her head and helped her apply the medicine gently and meticulously.

The surroundings were silent.

Yan Qing stood in front of them with a sword in one hand and his hands by his side.

Su Li and the others looked at each other and exchanged glances. Then, they tacitly remained silent.

Beads of sweat gradually appeared on Yan Qing’s forehead.

Finally, Chu Liuyue stopped. “Hongyu, help Xiao Ba rest.”

Mu Hongyu hurriedly said, “Hey! Alright!”

As she spoke, she had already walked forward and supported Xiao Ba.

Before Xiao Ba could take a step forward, she heard Chu Liuyue say calmly, “Hold on. Xiao Ba, you haven’t thanked the Left Divine General.”
