Chen Qing’s words instantly cooled Su Mu’s heroic spirit.
She had almost forgotten about the detestable Villain standing before her.
When she was in a good mood, she would give Su Mu a piece of milk candy as encouragement, but if she was in a bad mood, she would get physical with her directly.
Su Mu closed her eyes, steeled herself inwardly, and gulped down several mouthfuls of the medicine fiercely.
But seeing her gnashing her teeth like that, Chen Qing almost thought she was going to eat the spoon.
“Cough cough cough, it’s so bitter!”
Under Su Mu’s fierce determination, most of the medicine bowl was emptied.
But Su Mu felt that her whole body was now filled with the bitter taste of medicine, even making her want to dry heave a little.
Fortunately, Chen Qing timely fed the milk candy from her hand into Su Mu’s mouth, suppressing the bitter taste.
“This candy is pretty good.”
The rich milky fragrance in her mouth made Su Mu, who hadn’t eaten snacks for a long time, itch with craving inside.
She wanted White Rabbit Milk Candy, as well as crispy potato chips and Fat Boy Happy Water(drink).
In this season, it was also time to go eat steaming hot pot.
Thinking of all these delicious treats, Su Mu unconsciously let drool flow from the corner of her mouth.
Seeing her own Shizun’s silly appearance, Chen Qing felt a bit helpless.
In the future, she absolutely couldn’t let this Traitorous Shizun act alone anymore. Otherwise, with this foolish look, she might get tricked by some bad woman outside and even help count the money for her.
“Rest for a bit. There’s still half a bowl left.”
Hearing the reality she didn’t want to face, Su Mu wilted completely.
She could only lie down on the bed with the candy in her mouth, trying to make her body feel a bit better.
Before long, Su Mu’s breathing gradually steadied.
Although she was running a high fever now, the stuffy hot blanket made her automatically stretch her hand out to dissipate some heat.
Seeing Su Mu’s arm exposed outside, clean and white like a jade lotus root, Chen Qing slightly frowned and prepared to put her hand back in.
But as soon as she touched Su Mu’s palm, Su Mu grabbed her hand.
Feeling Su Mu’s fingers gripping tightly, Chen Qing’s eyes showed some hesitation.
This Traitorous Shizun might look lively on the surface, but having a fever must be extremely uncomfortable.
It was just that hidden within her timid and weak nature was a stubbornness that made her unwilling to show weakness in front of this bad person.
Seeing Su Mu’s tightly furrowed brows even in sleep, Chen Qing sighed and placed her fingers on her wrist.
Using Internal Energy to help clear someone’s meridians was a very delicate and arduous task.
Moreover, the consumed Internal Energy couldn’t be recovered for a while.
But the benefits of clearing the meridians were plentiful—not only could it further develop one’s martial arts talent, but it could also strengthen the body.
If Chen Qing circulated her Internal Energy through Su Mu’s meridians now, Su Mu definitely wouldn’t have to endure the discomfort so stubbornly.
Chen Qing’s Internal Energy entered Su Mu’s body along the meridians in her wrist. The warm energy slightly relaxed the furrow between Su Mu’s brows.
Looking at Su Mu’s stunningly beautiful face, Chen Qing’s thoughts became complicated.
She felt that towards this seemingly silly Traitorous Shizun, she was gradually letting down her guard in her heart.
She even developed an inexplicable desire to protect her, along with an emotion of not wanting to see her interact with other women.
They say that a lesson learned in blood makes one wiser. She had already died once because of her in her previous life, yet now she was sinking into this again.
Chen Qing’s gaze on Su Mu was complex. Although her thoughts were in turmoil, the Internal Energy infused into Su Mu’s body remained steady and gentle.
Chen Qing, you’re not helping her clear her meridians just because you saw her pained expression.
In my heart, whether now or in the future—for a lifetime—she will only be a despicable betrayer.
Me brewing medicine for her and helping clear her meridians is only to gain her trust, to draw out the mastermind who framed me in my previous life.
All of this is just for completing my revenge, nothing more.
After finding a good excuse for herself in her heart, Chen Qing felt much more at ease.
As for how much self-deception was in it, probably even she herself didn’t know.
With the clearing of Internal Energy, Su Mu’s whole body aching and feverish condition finally improved.
Her sleeping posture also relaxed a bit more, even producing faint snoring sounds.
After one full circulation of Internal Energy, Chen Qing let go of her fingers.
Looking at the soundly sleeping Su Mu and the remaining half bowl of herbal medicine, Chen Qing could only helplessly let her off for now.
This half bowl of medicine could only be made up after she woke up.
The Su Mu in her dreams still didn’t know that Chen Qing was planning to force her to finish the half bowl after she woke up.
She smacked her lips and continued immersing herself in her dreams.
Several hours passed, and the day reached the afternoon.
Su Mu had sweated all over her body and felt unprecedentedly relaxed.
But as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a head smashing towards her.
Fortunately, the incoming head stopped halfway.
“P-Pretty Sister, you’re awake!”
Miao Meng wiped the drool that was about to flow from the corner of her mouth and excitedly looked at Su Mu.
Seeing Miao Meng in front of her, Su Mu’s mind was a bit dazed.
How was she here? Given Chen Qing’s attitude towards her, it was impossible for her to let her into this room, right?
Seeing Su Mu’s confusion, Miao Meng raised her little head confidently and said,
“I had Ah Meng follow that woman out. I watched her go far away with my own eyes before sneaking in. Pretty Sister, don’t worry.”
Seeing Miao Meng’s confident expression, Su Mu still felt something was off.
With Chen Qing’s overwhelming strength, if Miao Meng tried to sneak in, she should be discovered easily.
But seeing the current quiet situation, that detestable Villain didn’t seem to have noticed anything unusual.
Could it be because she drank a little wine last night and was feeling lax?
Facing that black-bellied Villain who secretly bullied her, Su Mu always felt like she was hiding in the dark, plotting something bad.
“Are you sure she went out?”
“Yeah, I saw it with my own eyes. Ah Meng is still following behind her right now.”
Seeing Miao Meng’s extremely confident expression, Su Mu still chose to believe her.
She didn’t believe Chen Qing had installed a heavenly eye on her that could remotely detect Miao Meng sneaking in to find her.
Of course, Chen Qing couldn’t install a heavenly eye on Su Mu, but she also hadn’t gone far as Miao Meng claimed.
She was hiding outside the room’s window, quietly observing the situation inside with a gloomy gaze.
As soon as Miao Meng approached nearby, Chen Qing had already discovered her.
But what exactly was the relationship between that silly Traitorous Shizun and this Ancient Miao Tribe girl? It had been making her feel suffocated and uncomfortable.
Although she had only been separated from the Traitorous Shizun for less than a day, Miao Meng’s attentive attitude towards Su Mu and the clothes she had given to the Traitorous Shizun…
Just thinking about it made her feel uncomfortable, and indescribable emotions overwhelmed her reason.
Even if the method was a bit despicable, today she was determined to figure out exactly what the relationship was between the Traitorous Shizun and this Ancient Miao Tribe girl.
