Gu Xijiu remained quiet, for he had said everything that she wanted to say.

Di Fuyi gave her a rea.s.suring smile. "Don"t worry. I have completely mastered the steps. I will not allow anything bad to happen to you!" He was a brilliant child and a quick learner, but he never thought that he would master the steps so quickly. It seemed rather natural to him, as though he had already learned the steps ages ago. In fact, Long Siye"s explanation served more like a reminder for him to recall everything at once.

His eyes met Gu Xijiu"s eyes again. "I am not sure about other skills, but with regards to the technique of this medical treatment, I can say that I know even more than General Long!"

Gu Xijiu certainly did not believe his arrogant words. She did not voice out her concerns, but her eyes were obviously filled with doubts.

"Wait for it!" Di Fuyi continued to annoy Gu Xijiu. She was fed up with him. She would definitely splash him with water if she had the strength. She should be the one telling him to wait. However, at this very moment, she could not argue with him. He had already soaked his body in the tub next to her, and Long Siye had no other option. 

She heaved a sigh, surrendering to his dominance. She felt as if she had to return the favors that she owed him from his previous life, which was why the troubles kept coming back at her.

"Nianmo, if I die…"

"If you die, I will get revenge for you!" Di Fuyi interrupted her. 

All Gu Xijiu wanted to say was that if she died, she would no longer chase him for the mission. He did not give her a chance to finish her sentence.

Her chest hurt badly; the pain was unbearable. The color on her face started to fade again while cold sweats started to break out.

Di Fuyi supported her shoulder with one hand and with his other hand, he fed her a red pill. "Come. Take it."

The pill shone brightly. Surprisingly, the medicine was actually a tablet. It had a rather sweet scent. Gu Xijiu knew of many pills but had never seen this one before.

"What is this?"

"A rare tablet that is good for your injuries."

"I have had too many in a day." She was not allowed to eat too many pills in a day, no matter how effective they were. Moreover, different medicines may lead to opposing effects. She was weak, so her body could not withstand the side effects.

"Don"t worry. This tablet will not clash with any other pills," Di Fuyi rea.s.sured her. He seemed to understand her concern, but she still refused to open her mouth. "Do you think that I am going to poison you?" He could not help but let out a sarcastic remark.

She did not think about him in such a vicious way; she was only worried that he might administer her with the wrong tablet.

Gu Xijiu sighed. "Tell me about its properties." Gu Xijiu insisted.

Di Fuyi looked at her again. "This tablet was given to me by my father. In times of great danger, the tablet will be able to restore at least half of your strength, as long as you are still alive."

Gu Xijiu was surprised.

She had heard about the medical skills of Shen Jiuli, who was known as the best doctor in the continent. There was nothing he could not cure. Even when one"s soul was broken, he was still able to restore his or her life.
