201: cold and fever

He actually didn't give her the medicine!

Nan Zhisui's nerves tensed in surprise.

She waited until Long Yi left the palace gates.

Only then did she quickly sit up and secretly follow him.

She followed Long Yi all the way, circling to the back mountain of the Priest Hall. Long Yi entered a Cave there.

Nan Zhisui did not go deep inside; she waited outside the Cave.

Once Long Yi came out and walked far away,

she went in.

The Cave was filled with priest formations, but Nan Zhisui happened to be unafraid; she felt as if she naturally knew how to handle every Formation she saw.

Could she really be a priest Genius?

How satisfying!

Thinking back on the past decade or so, she had buried her head in countless exam papers for so many years, repeatedly beaten down by her grades.

Finally, it was her turn to reach the maximum level directly without even studying!

Finally, it was her turn to inherit this overwhelming fortune!

Nan Zhisui casually broke the Formations with delight. At the deepest part, she finally saw a complete beast god heart, which was still beating rhythmically, thump-thump, thump-thump.

Nan Zhisui said in surprise,

"Hey, beast god, after all these years, your heart has actually been well-sustained?

Long Yi actually didn't damage the beast god's Heart?"

The phantom of the beast god floated out from beside Nan Zhisui.

"Take a look, is this your heart?"

Lu Yu nodded: [Yes.]

"What should I do now?"

The low, magnetic voice was so pleasant it could make one's ears pregnant: [I'll have to trouble you to take out the Physical Body.]

Nan Zhisui was stunned for two seconds before coming to her senses.

What was with this beast god? It was one thing to be good-looking... but how could his speaking voice be so gentle and such a violation of the rules?

She sluggishly took out the beast god's Physical Body, then followed the beast god's instructions to place the heart in the chest of his body.

Then, a magical scene occurred. The heart of the beast god trembled slightly, then slowly sank into the beast god's long-dormant Physical Body.

The beast god's Physical Body also began to vibrate slightly; blood gradually began to flow through the dried-up blood vessels, and the pale skin regained the luster of life.

With every beat of the heart, a majestic vitality instantly swept through the entire body.

Nan Zhisui watched the beast god's Physical Body seemingly come back to life bit by bit.

Her head felt a dull pain, as if it had been struck by a heavy blow.

[How are you?] The beast god wanted to take her hand.

Nan Zhisui took a few steps back and leaned against the wall. She forced herself to ask him, "Your Physical Body and heart have both been found; can you be resurrected?"

The Male paused and said in a raspy voice: [I can.]

"How long will it take?"

[After my Physical Body and heart are reunited, I will have the power to gather all the Soul fragments scattered throughout the Beast World. Seven days. In seven days, I can be resurrected.]

"Okay."

[Nan Zhisui, put my Physical Body into your space. I can still recall my Divine Soul while inside the space.]

"Okay." She followed his words and put the beast god's Physical Body and heart into the space.

The gentle beast god reached out his hand toward her.

Nan Zhisui was very confused, looking at the phantom of the beast god and then at his hand.

What was going on? Did the beast god want to hold her hand?

Was that appropriate?

Nan Zhisui hesitated for a second before quickly placing her hand on his.

Such a beautiful god, one look and she already liked him!

Anyway, she definitely wouldn't be the one losing out.

It would be a waste not to hold it.

She'd worry about any misunderstandings later!

Lu Yu smiled softly and transferred his meager power into her body.

A warm power passed from his hand into her body.

Nan Zhisui's heart was gently jolted by this.

Even though it was just hand-to-hand, why did she feel her face heating up slightly?

She quickly pulled her hand away and said somewhat unnaturally, "I don't want your power."

He probably wanted to treat her cold.

But she needed him to be resurrected quickly even more.

"Beast God, hurry back to the space to recover your body."

Lu Yu frowned slightly: [I haven't given you much power yet; your cold isn't cured. Sui Sui, be good, okay?]

The beast god tilted his head slightly, his silver eyes blinking gently like a cold pool reflecting the moon, his long flowing hair like the Milky Way cascading down.

"Don't worry about me. I can get better on my own with my resistance, and exercising my resistance can also strengthen my Physique," Nan Zhisui said.

Seeing her persistence, Lu Yu sighed helplessly and finally returned to her body.

Now that she had obtained the Beast God's Heart, there was no longer any need for Nan Zhisui to remain here.

She contacted Chi Xiao through the Totem Space.

The Chi Xiao totem immediately said, "Don't worry, Little Female Master! Chi Xiao is rushing there immediately!"

After saying that, he eagerly left the Cave.

Just as Nan Zhisui walked out of the Cave, she saw Chi Xiao flapping his wings and stopping in front of her.

The tall Fire Chi Eagle hadn't seen the Little Female for a long time. The moment he saw her, he instantly transformed into human form. He couldn't help but hug her tightly before letting go to look her up and down.

"Little Female Master, Little Female Master!"

The days apart had been so hard to endure; he had truly missed her too much.

"You're so hot. Are you unwell?"

Nan Zhisui said with a heavy nasal tone, "It's nothing, just a bit of a cold."

"A cold?" Chi Xiao's voice rose a few pitches.

"I'm fine... don't worry. I'm a Witch Doctor; I know my own body."

"Oh..."

"Long Yi might look for me after he finds out I'm not in the palace. Chi Xiao, let's leave first."

Chi Xiao hesitated slightly before transforming into his beast form. "Then, Little Female Master, get on slowly. I'll take you away from here first."

Nan Zhisui climbed onto Chi Xiao's back, and Chi Xiao flew her away from Myriad Beast City.

Having already upgraded to an eight-patterned Fire Chi Eagle, Chi Xiao's speed was extremely fast, and they soon distanced themselves from Myriad Beast City. But as they flew, Nan Zhisui felt her head getting dizzier and dizzier, and her body tilted as she fell from Chi Xiao's back.

Chi Xiao dove down sharply. After catching Nan Zhisui, he landed by a small river in an unfamiliar forest.

Chi Xiao padded the ground with some dry grass, but it still felt too hard. He simply untied his own upper body beast skin, spread it on the ground, and let Nan Zhisui lie on it.

Then he fetched water from the nearby river and fed it to Nan Zhisui.

Nan Zhisui felt her fingers were so tired and her eyelids so heavy that she didn't want to move at all.

In her daze, she still opened her space, took out the fever-reducing medicine Ibuprofen, and swallowed it with the water Chi Xiao gave her.

"Little Female Master..." The Male lightly bit his lower lip.

The thin and small Little Female Master looked so weak when she was sick, as if she could be blown away by the wind.

He lay behind her, carefully holding her in his arms, and spread his wings to shield her from the wind and rain.

When Nan Zhisui's fever was severe, her mind was a bit muddled, but she could still tell that the person beside her was Chi Xiao.

After being alone in the Priest Hall for the past dozen days, now that she finally had a husband by her side, Nan Zhisui felt at peace.

She reached out her arm and gently hugged him.

Chi Xiao wasn't wearing his top. Fearing his firm muscles would hurt the Little Female Master, he shifted around to adjust his posture.

But the dazed Nan Zhisui didn't mind; she felt a great sense of security.

When Nan Zhisui was suffering while sweating out the fever, Chi Xiao retracted his feathers a little bit to let in a tiny bit of breeze for her.

He also used a wet beast skin to gently wipe her skin.

At dawn the next day, Nan Zhisui felt her body was much lighter; the fever had completely broken.

She opened her eyes and saw her bird husband, who already had slight dark circles under his eyes. Yet even with them, he was still devastatingly handsome.

"Chi Xiao."

"Little Female Master." Seeing her awake, the Male, who had been anxious all night, finally revealed a smile. "Does your head still hurt?"

Nan Zhisui shook her head and said, "I'm much better."

...Myriad Beast City, Priest Hall.

Long Yi sat in the highest position, looking chillingly cold.

Hu Qian was trembling and nudged Ying Li. "Ying Li, look at the High Priest. What's wrong with him?"

Ying Li whispered, "Sage Zhi Nan ran away."

"What did you say?" Hu Qian realized he was a bit too loud and quickly lowered his voice. "Last time Sage Zhi Nan ran away, the High Priest was angry for five whole years. Why did Sage Zhi Nan run away again this time?"

Bao He said, "Supposedly, she ran away while having a high fever."

"Ran away with a high fever?"

Hu Qian felt the air freeze. Several Eight-Patterned Priests were shivering.

Ying Li asked cautiously, "Lord High Priest, should we pursue?"

The Black Dragon Male's voice was icy. "Pursue for what? Let her burn to death."

The priests: "..."

Long Yi waved his hand and said, "Go look, all of you. Bring Sage Zhi Nan back."
