Xiaobai's Love in Another World

Chapter 432 Injured
Yu Hongye happened to see it and asked, "Did you hurt your ear?"

The concerned voice was very small and distant, as faint as a mosquito buzzing in the distance. Coupled with the pain in her ears and the intermittent buzzing, it was indeed pointing her in that direction.

"It seems so. Let me show you."

The next second, she saw Yu Hongye approach her with his hand glowing red.

But the sudden appearance of the large hand startled her. She shifted her small feet and tilted her body to avoid it.

Yu Hongye's movements froze in mid-air, a hint of doubt immediately appearing on her face. "What? Are you afraid I'll hit you?"

Bai Lingshan looked slightly embarrassed and immediately explained, "No, it's just... it should be fine. Eardrum injuries heal on their own."

"It heals on its own?" Yu Hongye retorted, placing his hand back near her ear. "At least a month? Do you know what happens if you're attacked from behind while your ear is injured?"

"..." Bai Lingshan finally lowered her head.

Hearing is crucial for someone who is always ready to fight.

The decline in her perception will make it difficult for her to accurately judge the direction of the opponent's attack. Dizziness and instability will affect her balance, and pain will also cause her to be distracted unintentionally.

Just now, for example, she didn't know why he raised his hand, so she subconsciously dodged it.

After the red light touched her ear, it felt warm. She didn't think about anything else and just waited for him to withdraw his hand.

His "diagnosis" was completed in about a minute.

The pain lessened, the dizziness lessened, and even his words, "Let's eat," became somewhat clearer.

But it was only a slight improvement.

"I can only speed up your own recovery. Once the Wood Spirit's abilities are restored, she can heal you."

Bai Lingshan obediently nodded and followed him to sit down at the dining table.

The Book of Feathers, having had its seal broken by the spirit, can disregard the rules, but it also suffers from a slight limitation due to the loss of the Book of Feathers' container.

Each time they reach their peak ability, they need several hours to recover. The "micro" in "micro" refers to the situation that only occurs when they encounter an opponent whose ability is at its peak.

Who would have thought she'd have such bad luck today, actually running into someone like that.

Did you see the message from heaven yesterday? How did you feel about it?

It's a good thing that his hearing is improving; she could even hear the playfulness in his tone.

"You did this?" Her expression wasn't pleasant as she placed her hands on the table and leaned slightly forward.

Yu Hongye shook her head slightly, then slowly and steadily picked up the kettle and poured some water into the glass next to her.

"Who did that?"

Bai Lingshan watched as the water in the cup gradually filled up, then quietly pulled her body back in.

At this moment, Yu Hongye smiled and poured herself another glass.

In my memory, he always drank sweet-smelling tea here, but this time it was just a glass of water.

Yu Hongye spoke, her tone calm and unhurried: "I did it, and no one else in the country would dare to let the newspaper do such a losing business that only charges one star coin."

"..."

Because of an early contract with Jingkongliu Newspaper, they can only accept jobs that are not important, which has led to them charging subscribers high fees every time they take on a job.

His public disclosure of the Featherfall Book holder's strength was merely intended to give those with talisman codes a head start, facilitating a more efficient talisman-grabbing plan.

"Have you ever considered that if everyone knew how powerful you were and feared you, wouldn't it be easier to steal the talismans next?"

Bai Lingshan frowned. She didn't think so: "Why should they be afraid of me? Besides, you're exaggerating. Look at that bear, I almost died."

Yu Hongye shook his head. "That bear was an accident. You won't encounter such an opponent again." "How can you be so sure?" Bai Lingshan retorted defiantly.

Maybe that bear came because of this message; otherwise, why would it kill her when there was no grudge?

"Because that guy comes from Flowing Cloud Mountain, a mountain full of absolute masters. They disdain the Featherfall Book, so..."

Yu Hongye answered slowly, seemingly taking special care of someone's injured hearing, but Bai Lingshan's mind was filled with only her question.

"Then why did he come?"

These words made Yu Hongye pause in his actions, and then a hint of helplessness appeared on his face: "He came looking for me, but just happened to see that you also had a talisman?"

"?"

"Oh, that's not quite right. It's just that I happen to have a talisman."

She didn't quite understand.

Yu Hongye moistened her throat with the water she had just drunk, then put the cup back on the table.

"That's right, when I went there the day before yesterday, I accidentally killed a demon."

As if triggering a keyword, Bai Lingshan instantly realized: "Best friend?"

Yu Hongye's expression turned strange after hearing this, but she didn't spoil her mood: "To be precise, it's a bee demon that's collecting osmanthus honey."

Bai Lingshan's expression was slightly awkward, but since the bear demon liked honey, it was perfectly reasonable for him to be friends with bees.

"Then why did you kill them?" She was still very curious.

Yu Hongye thought for a moment, a hint of suspicion flashing in her eyes: "When I was returning to the city, I just waved my hand lightly, and she lay down on the ground."

His tone was so casual, as if he wasn't talking about the life of a demon.

"I'd call it manslaughter."

When the Liuyun Mountain Library was being evacuated that day, he suddenly remembered Bai Lingshan's training situation. In order to better understand her current combat level, he randomly selected a bee demon that looked relatively docile in the mountains.

Before leaving, he deliberately revealed the talisman and the destination of the Spirit Kingdom to the witnesses. Little did he know that the little bee demon would attract the revenge of the powerful figure on the mountaintop.

In his vocabulary, accidentally killing the wrong target is considered manslaughter.

"Ok."

At this moment, Mimura arrived with their dinner. This time, the food was served a little slower than usual. Upon closer inspection, she noticed that her dinner included an extra small soup.

In a small bowl about the size of a fist, golden soup was topped with tiny red flakes. Her usual meals were very consistent, so why was this dish added this time?

"You ordered this?" Bai Lingshan asked curiously.

Yu Hongye didn't show much expression, but quietly replied, "Here you go. This is soup made with Blood Lotus petals. Just drink it."

She looked completely bewildered.

Yu Hongye added, "The Blood Lotus has a very good self-healing effect. Although it doesn't have much effect on Aunt Mushroom, it's very noticeable for you."

Upon hearing this, she didn't say anything more, but obediently picked up the bottle and drank it.

It tasted sweet and fragrant, without the bitterness of their local medicine. In fact, it was even better than the best drink she had ever had.

Just as she was about to express her gratitude, Yu Hongye said this:
"Don't be moved yet. Blood Lotus is a rare medicinal herb. I'll charge you forty spirit coins for this soup."

"..."

She was shocked by his serious expression. Perhaps Yu Hongye had also noticed something, because he added a touch of warmth to his cold tone.

"Okay, minus the eight spirit coins I owe you last time, I'll only charge you thirty-two."
