Chapter 21.2

Want Me to Apply Medicine on You? (2)

The system watched her begin to worry because she knew a big secret. It decided not to speak. Maybe when it chose her from the very start, it really wasn’t a random choice.

Ji Qingzhou completely destroyed the piece of paper and even spent an incense stick of time to make herself forget about it.

The next morning, she managed to empty her mind before packing her things in preparation for the formation class.

In fact, the formation class was Ji Qingzhuo’s favorite. She liked the fascinating calculation charm of formation methods. It was unlike the previous Beast Mastery class, where she almost suffered from internal injuries brought by a hind kick from a wild Profound Frost Beast. Its kicks were several times more powerful than Maomao’s.

Ji Qingzhuo touched her back that was kicked by the Profound Frost Beast last time, rubbed it, and set off with her small bag.

She prayed that she would not meet Shen Rongyu on the river bank of White Water Lake, but it just so happened that he walked out of the forest.

Last night during practice, she failed to steady herself during the three-hour-long practice and accidentally fell on top of him because of that Profound Frost Beast’s kick.

Seeing that she actually didn’t yelp despite her injury, Shen Rongyu didn’t say anything. He just raised his hand, held her waist, and pressed her wound under his palm.

Ji Qingzhou felt a jolt of pain, but she didn’t cry out and only frowned. Under the warm light at night, her slender eyebrows were furrowed.

She turned her head sideways and just gritted her teeth. That spot on her back still hurt, but she didn’t have the strength to struggle.

“Does it hurt?” Shen Rongyu asked her. His large palm picked her up in his arms, and she fell into his embrace unawares. Her chin rested on his shoulder, and the only thing she saw was the antique furnishings of her room gilded with a warm orange glow from the lamps.

It hurt, it did hurt. That Profound Frost Beasts was too powerful. Although that big guy kicked Ji Qingzhou out of some kind of emotion, it listened to her commands extra obediently in the end, so she scored high marks in the Beast Mastery class. But still, she got hurt.

Ji Qingzhuo didn’t utter a word. She just begged Shen Rongyu to let her down immediately, so then she could go to the medical room to find some golden swelling medicine and apply them to herself. However, it was really not easy to apply medicine in this posture.

“Zhuzhuo, aren’t you going to speak?” Shen Rongyu called to her. With a slight vibration, his voice swept past her ear and directly weakened her body.

She whispered, “I was kicked by a Profound Frost Beast.”

“That spirit beast is very powerful, most irritable and easy to anger at this season,” Shen Rongyu informed her unhurriedly. He could even visualize how Ji Qingzhou received that kick.

“Here?” Shen Rongyu was familiar with the flow of spirit qi within Ji Qingzhou’s meridians, so he naturally saw where it was not smooth at a glance.

He pressed the injury at the back of her waist. His strength was minimal, but it still tugged at Ji Qingzhou’s nerves, causing her to suck in a breath of cold air.

In fact, a kick was no big deal. It was just that she’s been sitting so endlessly for three hours with an injury.

“Want me to apply medicine on you?” Shen Rongyu asked.

Ji Qingzhou pondered over it. Applying the medicine by herself would be hard. If Shen Rongyu also didn’t help her with the medicine, then it would be impossible for her to make it to the formation class. Class absences usually led to a lot of score deductions.

She sighed finely, feeling a bit aggrieved. In the modern era, she couldn’t even stand running for three minutes. Why did she come to this immortal world to suffer from this?

“Zhouzhou?” Without hearing any response from her, Shen Rongyu called her again, only with a somewhat lowered tone, which echoed in the not so spacious room, giving the impression that he was waiting for her answer.

Ji Qingzhou clutched the clothes behind his back, tugging at the colored cloud silk into folds. Her long eyelashes hid her eyes, and she said sullenly, “Okay.”
