Fairy sister, I am not your white moonlight

Long Lianxue breathed a sigh of relief. She was already exhausted. If another wave of zombies came, she would definitely not be able to hold on.

Her tendons and veins were spasming and shrinking due to the excessive load of exercising her internal energy. Every time her internal energy flowed, it felt like being cut by a sharp knife.

Even so, the girl just sighed silently and chose not to disturb the two people in front of her for the time being.

Come on......

Xiao Jinyun had so many things to say at this moment. She stared at the young man in front of her, suppressing the excitement in her heart, and opened her lips slightly.

"..."

Nothing happened and everything was as calm as ever. Long Lianxue just looked at the girl's confused expression and sighed inwardly.

It's a pity that the muteness that has accumulated over the years is not so easy to cure.

The little mute touched his throat unwillingly. After confirming again and again that he still couldn't speak a complete sentence, a lonely and bitter expression appeared on his little face again.

Just now, she heard her own voice for the first time in her life, but now thinking back, it seemed like an illusion.

She knew what she would say to Ye Xun, but expressing her feelings seemed inappropriate in her current state.

If a little mute suddenly said a lot of words, Ye Xun might be scared.

The crisis has not been completely resolved, and no one knows whether the zombies will counterattack.

It’s fine like this now.

Xiao Jinyun clutched the hem of his Taoist robe unwillingly, his pretty face looking slightly haggard.

But, why let her see a ray of light and then crush it?

"It's okay, I heard it all."

Unexpectedly, the little mute suddenly felt a gentle touch on his head.

Xiao Jinyun raised his head in a daze and saw that Ye Xun had come to his side without him knowing when.

Ye Xun could sense through the progress of repairing the Book of Heaven's Path that the girl's heart knot was showing signs of being resolved.

It is like a ball of thread that has been tangled for years. Now the most important thread has been touched, and it is only one step away from being completely liberated.

"Take it easy."

Just in case, Ye Xun still put his hand on the girl's wrist and made sure that Xiao Jinyun was not injured before he felt relieved.

Ye Xun was sure that as long as he could get the Five Elements Treasure Core and help Xiao Jinyun completely stabilize the blood power in his body, all problems would soon be solved.

By then, he can leave with peace of mind again.

Ye Xun's calm comfort made the little mute slowly raise his head again.

He has always been like this, calm and reassuring. Xiao Jinyun opened his mouth almost instinctively and found that he could actually make a faint hum in response.

The girl couldn't help but smile, her pretty face glowing with rosy glow, which was the proof of Ye Xun's hard work these days.

She seemed to have found something more meaningful than speaking up. As long as she was with Ye Xun, no problem seemed so scary anymore.

In the future, only by following him closely can I have the chance to repay him.

At the side, the girl in a red dress was avoiding the two people, sitting cross-legged in meditation silently, trying to restore the disordered airflow in her body.

The pain in her body was not just due to external injuries.

Long Lianxue bit her lip silently, enduring the pain and circulating her true energy through her meridians to prevent them from completely atrophying and to avoid making any noise that would spoil the mood.

As the eldest daughter of the Long family, Long Lianxue actually has some problems with her physical condition.

Whenever she used her family's sword skills, there were always strong side effects, and all the doctors she had seen before were helpless. She could only rely on herself to recover every time.

This is also one of the reasons why the Long family allowed her to be a nominal member of the Liuying Sect. After all, she said she was one of the heirs, but in reality she couldn't even use the family swordsmanship at will.

It was a bit painful, but Long Lianxue did not regret it. Instead, she felt relieved.

Seeing the distance between Ye Xun and the little mute gradually narrowing, she also vaguely understood what Ye Xun meant by "a clear conscience".

Do what you should do and do what you want to do.

However, she had experience in silently healing herself from injuries when she was training alone outside before, so there would be no accidents this time.

As Long Lianxue was thinking this, she suddenly felt a warm energy coming into her body from behind.

She turned around a little awkwardly and met Ye Xun's eyes.

In fact, there was no need for Long Lianxue to take the risk.

Ye Xun had asked her to help him before, on the one hand, to deal with the large number of injured disciples in those days, and on the other hand, to give Long Lianxue a way to make up for her mistake and leave with a clear conscience.

But not only did she not leave, she even followed him into the unnecessary ruins adventure.

There were several times just now when the defense line was almost broken by the corpse puppets. Fortunately, at the critical moment, Long Lianxue used the family sword skills to clear the situation.

Otherwise, Ye Xun would have to think of other ways to break out and escape from the ruins before he could hear the little mute's angry shout.

"You...don't worry about me for now, go see if Jinyun is okay."

Long Lianxue looked a little embarrassed at the moment, her breasts heaving up and down with her panting, and her pretty face was slightly pale.

Of course she remembered why she came here.

In addition to preventing Ye Xun and Xiao Jinyun from being abandoned by Liuying Sect, providing conditions for the two to warm up their relationship is also one of the girl's most important goals.

"Don't talk yet, Miss Long."

Ye Xun's voice was steady, and the inner energy that the hand behind him injected into her body was also mellow and warm. While it gave her a great sense of security, it also made Long Lianxue sneak a peek at Xiao Jinyun's reaction out of guilt.

She silently handed ointment and a clean towel to the young man who was treating Long Lianxue's wound.

Xiao Jinyun would never have any doubts about Ye Xun. She just needed to cooperate silently and be the most taciturn little mute.

Such plain cooperation made her even more satisfied than the roar just now.

But as a girl herself, Long Lianxue naturally knew what the look in Xiao Jinyun's eyes when he looked at Ye Xun meant.

"It's enough for me to do it myself..."

She felt embarrassed and guilty and wanted to avoid Ye Xun's care, but just as she stood up, she stopped again because of Ye Xun's words.

"Did you vomit blood just now?" Ye Xun noticed something strange about the girl in the red dress.

Long Lianxue was stunned. The situation just now was so chaotic that she thought Ye Xun had no time to pay attention to her.

In fact, against her red dress, it was really hard to see any blood stains.

However, Long Lianxue was more accustomed to hiding her pain under a fiery appearance. She would never reveal it easily, nor would she use it to gain sympathy or seek credit.

"No, this is because of my...physical condition. It has nothing to do with you."

Long Lianxue didn't want the two of them to feel like they owed her anything for this, but she couldn't escape Ye Xun's serious gaze.

"I will cure it."

The girl in the red dress was stunned for a moment, and realized that her heartbeat seemed to be out of rhythm.

She was suddenly startled, glanced at the well-behaved little mute beside her, and hurriedly wanted to refuse.

But Ye Xun just took out the silver needle and focused on his task.

"Just for a moment, Miss Long may need to use that sword move again."

According to the legendary information collected by Ye Xun, there should be a "door" in front of the altar of the Xiao family.

As a test for the successor of the Xiao clan in the past, the "door" must be bombarded with the purest energy in order to be opened.

Although the little mute's strength was enhanced by the ruins, he ultimately only barely reached the level of transformation into a god.

However, the move that Long Lianxue just used was as powerful as a full-strength attack from a Return to Void expert. Even Ye Xun himself could hardly match it. It was just right for blasting the "door".

Chapter 54: The Little Mute Knows Everything

For ordinary doctors, Long Lianxue's physical problems might be a little difficult to deal with.

But for Ye Xun, it is not a terminal illness.

Long Lianxue's pretty face blushed slightly as she sat in front of a small pot with steam rising from it.

The red skirt she was wearing was stained with blood, so she was now wearing Ye Xun's Taoist robe. She tightened the collar of the robe with a little uneasiness.

This time, she was treated by Ye Xun while she was conscious.

Although the young man had been focused and his eyes and hands had never touched anything inappropriate, it made Long Lianxue even more confused.

Now that the treatment was over, the little mute was seen setting up a small pot with great skill. Ye Xun lit the fire, and the two of them gradually put in the vegetables and meat that the boy had prepared before setting out.

Looking at their skilled and tacit understanding, Senior Sister Long suddenly felt that her presence was somewhat redundant.

"I'm going to blast that door open first."

She stood up, as if she wanted to escape, but Ye Xun grabbed her wrist.

"Don't act alone. Eat first and replenish your energy."

The tide of corpses has dissipated, and now is one of the few moments of rest and recuperation. If you don't take this opportunity to replenish your strength, it will be difficult to deal with any unexpected events later.

Ye Xun's eyes were pure, but they made Long Lianxue's pretty face blush again. She pulled out her hand a little awkwardly, hesitated for a moment, and finally sat aside obediently.

Before this, she had always considered herself to be the senior sister of the little mute, and she followed the two of them only to find an opportunity to bring them together, so she had no psychological burden in getting along with them.

But just after that innocent treatment, after her injuries were healed by Ye Xun, Long Lianxue inexplicably began to feel guilty.

"Then, Jinyun, eat more..."

After thinking it over, Long Lianxue, who always thought less and did more, simply gave up thinking and wanted to pick more dishes for Xiao Jinyun to make up for her debt to the little mute.

Then, she saw that Ye Xun had already taken the lead and filled Xiao Jinyun's bowl.

Ye Xun needed to ensure the health of his patients. The little mute was eating obediently. When he noticed his senior sister's gaze, he raised his little head and tilted it, like an innocent little rabbit eating.

The more this happened, the more Long Lianxue felt guilty.

"It's okay, just eat more."

Long Lianxue's smile was a little forced. There was always a voice in her heart condemning her and warning her not to bully her junior sister.

But how could he bully Xiao Jinyun? He had never ordered her around, nor had he ever taken anything from her...

At this moment, she suddenly saw the small bowl handed to her by Ye Xun.

"Ms. Long, you should eat more too. I'll need you to help out later."

Long Lianxue took the bowl blankly, and suddenly understood where that guilty feeling came from.

It seemed that Ye Xun's concern, which should have all belonged to Xiao Jinyun, was unknowingly divided by her, and she herself had not noticed it before, and even seemed to enjoy it a little.

Food and medicine are inseparable. Ye Xun always has stockpiled dishes and seasonings in his storage ring. Even if the conditions are not enough, they are much more delicious than the stuff that Long Lianxue made when she went out for training.

At least, it's hot.

Long Lianxue suddenly realized that she seemed to have fallen into a misunderstanding from the very beginning.

She wanted to find a reliable man for her little sister who was easily bullied. Her mind was only thinking about giving assists and providing opportunities for the two of them to improve their relationship, but she forgot that she was also a girl.

Let’s not talk about anything else, even if Xiao Jinyun and Ye Xun really get together smoothly, what will I be like then?

At least, we should be considered friends, right?

"Well, my name is Long Lianxue."

The girl suddenly spoke in a low voice.

She suddenly discovered that Ye Xun had always addressed her with her surname plus a honorific title, and even as friends, there was always a vague sense of alienation.

Noticing the doubt in Ye Xun's eyes, Long Lianxue explained a little hurriedly, clenching the small bowl in her hand.

"Look, we've been through a lot together. I helped you in the pharmacy, and we just went through the zombie tide together..."

Long Lianxue kept retelling what had happened in the past few days, trying to narrow the distance between them a little, but the more she talked, the more she suddenly became disappointed in herself.

As a result of helping out in the pharmacy, he gained a good reputation. He just fought against the corpse puppets, and in the end he had to rely on Ye Xun to heal the little flaws in his physique.

It seemed as if she had always benefited from Ye Xun, but she had not really done anything for Ye Xun.

"That's right, can you please stop calling me Miss Long..."

Ye Xun wasn't quite sure why Long Lianxue suddenly became depressed, but he actually didn't care much about a casual name.

"Let's eat first, Miss Lianxue."
