My family has been wielding knives for generations, but now it's my turn to wield a pen!

"This is the tomb!"

Jiang Xiaobai didn't think much of it. He carried Chu Qingci around to the back of the wooden house and soon arrived at a tombstone.

The tombstone was surrounded by weeds, and the grave mound looked somewhat collapsed.

After Jiang Xiaobai put Chu Qingci down, Chu Qingci came to the tombstone and examined it carefully.

Unfortunately, the words on the tombstone have long been eroded by wind and rain, and only shallow traces remain.

Chu Qingci raised her hand and gently touched the marks, trying to find clues, but in the end she shook her head.

She had originally hoped to find out the identity of the owner of the wooden house from here.

Now it seems... she was overthinking it!

Jiang Xiaobai noticed the disappointment on Chu Qingci's face, but didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he went to the tombstone and bowed.

After all, they would be staying in someone else's cabin for a while.

After a brief bow, Jiang Xiaobai picked up Chu Qingci again and returned to the wooden house.

"Master, please rest for a moment, I'll tidy up this room!"

After setting Chu Qingci aside, Jiang Xiaobai rolled up his sleeves and got busy.

Jiang Xiaobai first swept away the dust in the room, and then cleaned the wooden bed.

Usable items were set aside, while rotten items were all moved outside.

Chu Qingci sat there, watching Jiang Xiaobai go back and forth, getting up several times to try and help.

But every time she stood up, Jiang Xiaobai would push her back down.

Chu Qingci's expression was unnatural in response.

in fact……

Her current condition is not too bad.

But looking at Jiang Xiaobai's busy figure, she didn't know how to start the conversation.

After all, Jiang Xiaobai had been holding her the whole time.

If he suddenly recovered, then... why would he still let someone hold him?

This is simply inexplicable!

Finally, Chu Qingci sighed and could only sit there and meditate.

As time passed, by the time Jiang Xiaobai had almost finished tidying up the wooden house, it was already evening.

Jiang Xiaobai rested against the table for a while before leaving the cabin.

When Jiang Xiaobai returned, he had some wild fruits and a few edible wild vegetables in his arms.

After the two had eaten a simple meal, it had become completely dark outside.

Chu Qingci sat there, glancing at Jiang Xiaobai several times, before finally mustering her courage.

"Young Master Jiang, you... why don't you just go blind later?!"

She was too embarrassed to speak directly, so she phrased it in a more tactful way.

After all, she was covered in mud after the rain last night, which made her somewhat uncomfortable.

Now that it was dark, she wanted to wash up.

"what?"

Jiang Xiaobai was taken aback at first, then understood what was going on. He responded and got up to go to Chu Qingci's side.

As he picked up Chu Qingci, he left the wooden house under the cover of night.

Upon reaching the riverbank, Jiang Xiaobai gently set Chu Qingci down and asked, "Do you need my help?"

Chu Qingci was stunned for a moment, and her face immediately turned red with embarrassment.

"Ha, just kidding!"

Jiang Xiaobai laughed loudly, then turned and walked away into the distance.

Jiang Xiaobai stopped with his back to the river after he had traveled some distance.

Chu Qingci watched Jiang Xiaobai's retreating figure, lowered her head slightly, took off her dress, and stepped into the cool river water.

The river water was a bit cold after the rain, but Chu Qingci could bear it.

After a quick wash, she put the clothes she had taken off into the river to wash them again.

But Chu Qingci noticed something was wrong when she was only halfway through washing the clothes.

The toxins that had been dormant in the body showed signs of flaring up again.

Chu Qingci's expression changed slightly. She got up from the river and quickly put on her clothes.

But after only half of the clothes were put on, a chill burst forth from within his body.

Chu Qingci's body trembled slightly, and her legs lost their strength.

"River……"

Just as Chu Qingci was about to shout, a figure rushed over from a distance and instantly landed beside her, pulling her out of the river.

"You...you shouldn't look!"

Chu Qingci leaned against Jiang Xiaobai's chest, her pale face showing panic.

"It's okay, I'm blind!"

Jiang Xiaobai responded quickly, deliberately glancing to the side: "Besides, this isn't the first time I've gone blind!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xiaobai picked up the rest of Chu Qingci's clothes and temporarily covered her with them. Then, carrying the trembling Chu Qingci, he hurried towards the wooden house.

But halfway there, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly noticed something out of the corner of his eye and paused slightly.

Indeed, a pearly light could be seen shimmering within a rock wall not far away.

The light shone through the cracks in the rocks and was clearly visible in the night.

Jiang Xiaobai frowned. Although he was puzzled, he suppressed his urge to go and check after sensing the chill emanating from Chu Qingci.

Right now, the most important thing is to take care of Chu Qingci.

Back in the cabin, Jiang Xiaobai hugged Chu Qingci tighter, using his body heat to warm her up.

Half an hour later, Chu Qingci's trembling body finally calmed down.

At this moment, Chu Qingci opened her eyes, feeling the internal energy surging within her body again, her expression filled with surprise.

80%!

Following this trend, if she experiences another episode of toxicity, she will be able to fully recover to her peak condition.

Chu Qingci was about to speak, but the surroundings were very quiet.

Ok?

Chu Qingci turned her head and glanced at him, only to find that although Jiang Xiaobai was still holding her, his eyes were already closed.

Judging from her steady breathing, she was clearly asleep.

Chu Qingci understood this.

After all, Jiang Xiaobai had barely rested all day.

So Chu Qingci didn't wake him up, and lay there quietly with her eyes closed as well.

The next day, Chu Qingci woke up early.

At this moment, Chu Qingci glanced at Jiang Xiaobai and saw that he still had his eyes closed before carefully putting on his clothes.

But when Chu Qingci turned around again, she found that Jiang Xiaobai, although still there with his eyes closed, looked obviously embarrassed.

Chu Qingci paused for a moment, pursed her red lips, and ultimately said nothing, simply sitting quietly to the side and waiting.

Half an hour later, Jiang Xiaobai still showed no signs of waking up.

Chu Qingci finally sighed: "Sigh, how long are you planning to... pretend to be asleep?"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai immediately sat up, looking at Chu Qingci with a puzzled expression: "What do you mean, pretending to be asleep?"

"I don't understand at all, what is the expert saying!"

Having said that, without giving Chu Qingci a chance to speak again, Jiang Xiaobai continued, "Ahem, I'll go see if there's any fresh fruit!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xiaobai rushed out the door.

Chu Qingci sat there, her face turning even redder.

Not long after, Jiang Xiaobai returned with some wild fruit.

While the two were eating, Jiang Xiaobai remembered the pearl light he had seen the night before and briefly recounted the incident.

"Pearl-like?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Qingci said with some surprise, "Then let's go take a look later!"

"good!"

Jiang Xiaobai nodded.

After the two had eaten the fruit, Jiang Xiaobai went to Chu Qingci's side, bent down again, picked her up, and headed straight for the direction where he had seen the pearly light the night before...
