ALL NOVEL Chapter 66: Yue Jianli's Way of Feeding Medicine
Yue Jianli always clamored to kill him, but now he’s voluntarily making medicine for him?
Did she put something in it?
“Do you suspect I’ve poisoned the medicine?”
Yue Jianli was infuriated, “You’ve been lying here for three days. I could have killed you a hundred times over. Do I need to go through all this trouble when I could do it day one?”
“Well, I guess not…”
Li Ran scratched his head awkwardly.
“I feed you this medicine every day. If I wanted to poison you, you would have been dead from poisoning a long time ago!” Yue Jianli glared at him with resentment.
“Sorry, I misunderstood you— Wait, you said you feed me every day?”
Li Ran puzzled, “I’ve been unconscious the whole time. How did you manage to feed me medicine?”
He hadn’t heard of anyone being able to drink medicine while unconscious. It couldn’t be through an IV, could it? This world is not advanced enough for that! They don’t even have a syringe!
“Well…”
Yue Jianli was momentarily speechless, his face inexplicably turning red.
Seeing this, Li Ran nodded, “Heh, I knew it.”
Yue Jianli nervously asked, “Y-You knew what?”
“I knew you were lying to me. You haven’t been feeding me medicine these past few days, right?” Li Ran snorted.
Yue Jianli breathed a sigh of relief, unable to help but lick her pink cherry-like charming lips.
“You sure know a lot…”
…
Li Ran’s meridians were in disarray, making it difficult for him to even raise his hand.
Yue Jianli held the medicinal soup and fed him spoonful by spoonful.
During the process, perhaps due to what happened when he woke up, her gaze always wandered around, afraid to meet his eyes.
Li Ran chuckled, “You, a fair and upright maiden of the righteous path, are actually taking care of someone of the demonic path… If this gets out, I’m afraid the righteous path cultivators won’t tolerate you anymore.”
“Hmph, I’m doing this just to repay a favor!” Yue Jianli said coldly. “It’s not honorable to strike while you’re down. Once you’re healed, I’ll still kill you!”
“…”
“Ouch!”
Li Ran clutched his chest and let out a painful cry.
“What’s wrong?” Yue Jianli put down the bowl of soup, nervously asking, “Did your injury relapse? Does it hurt?”
“It hurts. Could you massage it for me?”
“Okay.”
She had just agreed when she felt something was off.
Looking up, she saw Li Ran smiling mischievously at her, showing no signs of pain whatsoever.
“… ”
Yue Jianli punched him in the chest, feeling embarrassed. “You rascal, you’re injured like this and still haven’t learned your lesson!”
Li Ran’s face turned pale, due to his weak state, that punch almost knocked him out.
Yue Jianli turned away in anger, pretending not to care.
“Don’t be mad, it was just a joke. We’re comrades who have fought together for our lives. Come on, let’s shake hands.” Li Ran smiled, reaching out his hand.
“Comrades who have fought together…”
Yue Jianli’s gaze softened, but she kept a straight face. “Then why shake hands?”
“It’s a traditional custom from my hometown. Shaking hands means we’re friends.” Li Ran explained.
“… ”
Yue Jianli stared at him, a mix of annoyance and amusement. “Your hometown is in Five Yang City, right? How come I’ve never heard of this custom before?”
“No one really talks about this custom too much, it’s ingrained into our body, we do it without thinking or talking much about it.”
“… I see….”
Yue Jianli placed her delicate hand in his palm, feeling the strong warmth, her mind accidentally recalled the scenes that happened when he woke up and her cheeks starting to blush again.
“Li Ran, when I master the [Burning Sky Art], I will definitely defeat you!”
“Good luck.”
…
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and a middle-aged woman walked in.
Seeing the scene, she couldn’t help but smile.
“Great, young man, you’re finally awake!”
Li Ran was surprised. “Who is this?”
“This is Aunt Sun, who kindly lent us the house.” Yue Jianli introduced.
There was no hint of disdain or arrogance in her face as she said that, unlike some members of the righteous path, she didn’t think less of the other party just because she’s a mortal.
Aunt Sun nodded her head, and with a smile on her face, said, “Young man, you’ve found yourself a good wife. You must treat her well in the future.”
“Aunt Sun, you’ve misunderstood. We’re not a couple–” Yue Jianli hurriedly explained.
“Ah, do you think you can hide something like this from me?”
Aunt Sun smiled and said, “Not a couple? Then why have you been staying up for days, brewing herbal medicine for him? And even feeding him mouth to mouth?”
Li Ran: (⊙_⊙)
“What? Mouth to mouth?!”
He stared blankly at Yue Jianli.
“You–You don’t listen to Aunt Sun’s nonsense! There’s nothing like that!” Yue Jianli stomped her foot in embarrassment and fled out of the room.
Her reaction only confirmed the truth of Aunt Sun’s words…
Li Ran lay on the bed with vacant eyes, feeling like a walking corpse.
It’s not that he hates being kissed by a beautiful girl like Yue Jianli.
It’s just that he’s afraid of what his master would do if she knew about this.
Aunt Sun smiled kindly upon seeing her reaction, sighing, “Ah, youth is so wonderful.”
…
For the next few days, Li Ran stayed in the small Yunxiao Village.
With the existence of the [Heaven-Seizing Art] and immortal materials, his injuries were rapidly healing.
And Yue Jianli seemed to have nothing to do, spending her days either studying the [Burning Sky Art], quarreling with Li Ran, or busy doing housework.
Without knowing any prior context, anyone would have though Yue Jianli as just a normal newly wed housewife who are helping her sickly husband.
Actually, she could have left long ago, but for some reason, she felt reluctant to go.
One day, as she was busy hanging clothes in the yard, a sound of breaking wind echoed.
Several swordsmen in blue robes landed in front of her.
Yue Jianli saw the leader and couldn’t help but slightly widen her pupils.
‘Why is he here too?’
