288: I just want to eat

The three women instantly and keenly noticed that expression.

Sure enough, for some unknown reason, Zhai Ningning's face instantly turned ugly.

"Not touch me? Then how will you heal me? Or are you saying that, in your opinion, this Young Miss is not worthy of being touched by you?"

It wasn't that Zhai Ningning thought Chen Xuan was unworthy of touching her; rather, Chen Xuan's expression was clearly one of disdain, not inferiority.

This immediately angered the self-important Young Miss.

"Now! I! Demand that you heal me normally!" Zhai Ningning, seething with Qi, grabbed Chen Xuan by the collar.

"Cough cough, no problem, no problem, I didn't mean that, you misunderstood... How about we let go first?"

Chen Xuan had originally thought that such an arrogant Young Miss, when angered, would definitely turn and leave, sulking alone. He really hadn't expected that this girl would immediately release whatever frustrations she had!

This was somewhat different from his plan. He had originally only wanted Zhai Ningning to accumulate more negative emotions, and once they reached a certain threshold, he would personally take action and simply take her down.

"Hmph, you say let go and I let go? Why should I listen to you?"

Chen Xuan didn't speak, but his gaze kept darting downwards.

Zhai Ningning followed Chen Xuan's gaze and instantly blushed all the way to her neck. Moreover, this was in front of her two best friends; she was so embarrassed she could dig out a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment, and just wanted to find a hole to crawl into!

She then quickly separated from Chen Xuan, retreated several steps, and went to her good sisters. Zhu Zhu and Rou Wu, meanwhile, stared at Chen Xuan with unfriendly eyes.

"You, Chen Xuan, how dare you... Mmm?"

Rou Wu hadn't finished speaking when she was already silenced by the shy Zhai Ningning covering her mouth.

Chen Xuan had no shame, but she did. If this were to spread later, how could she face anyone!

"Ningning, what is the meaning of this?" Rou Wu asked, puzzled.

However, when she looked at Zhai Ningning, there was a hint of slyness deep in her eyes.

"I... I am injured now, so healing is the priority. This, this matter, we will settle with him later!" Zhai Ningning quickly found an excuse.

"Alright, but Chen Xuan is really too much. From now on, let him be our beast of burden!" Rou Wu also feigned anger.

"Uh, I don't mind being a beast of burden, but I have a question I'd like to ask."

"Speak!"

Rou Wu suddenly became excited. Had Chen Xuan's brain been kicked by a donkey? Why was he willing to be their beast of burden? Let's see what trick he had up his sleeve first!

"Do I get to eat grass?"

Rou Wu instantly lost, her face flushed red.

"You mean compensation? That depends on your performance! If you perform well enough to make this Young Miss happy, you won't lack benefits!" Zhai Ningning said proudly, lifting her chin.

"Is that so? Then this little one will definitely perform well in the future, striving to earn great benefits from Miss Zhai!"

"Go, go, go, you should hurry and heal her!" Rou Wu couldn't take it anymore and just wanted to escape the scene.

"Cough cough, Miss Zhai, please give me your wrist. I will take your pulse."

Upon hearing this, Zhai Ningning obediently extended her hand.

She didn't understand why he needed to take her pulse when her injury was clearly external, but she still listened to Chen Xuan, wanting to see how capable this person from the Lower Realm was.

At this moment, Zhai Ningning's attention wasn't on Chen Xuan's "healing," but rather on secretly observing him.

Chen Xuan didn't seem to notice Zhai Ningning's gaze. He focused intently on taking her pulse, while simultaneously injecting his Spiritual Qi, which carried Lin Rou's Life Qi, into Zhai Ningning's wound.

In an instant, Zhai Ningning's cheeks flushed. She had never had such close contact with any man before, so even Chen Xuan's Spiritual Qi entering her body was too much for her.

At this moment, Zhai Ningning's wound had already stopped bleeding, and under Chen Xuan's Spiritual Qi treatment, the wound gradually healed, without even leaving a scar.

Zhai Ningning's face showed surprise when she saw this scene.

She hadn't expected Chen Xuan's medical skills to be so superb. Even the best healing Medicinal Pill she had used before couldn't heal such a wound so quickly.

This made her feel a little curious about Chen Xuan. Then, she looked at Chen Xuan's serious demeanor again, and an unusual emotion actually welled up in her heart; her heart seemed to skip a beat.

"No way, this, how is this possible..."

She had never thought that one day, she would feel this way about a person from the Lower Realm.

Throughout the healing process, Chen Xuan was very serious, as if he hadn't noticed Zhai Ningning's unusual state at all.

"Alright, Miss Zhai, your wound has healed. Just rest well and you'll be fine." Chen Xuan withdrew his hand and said with a smile.

"Thank, thank you." Zhai Ningning said with a flushed face.

"No need to thank me, Miss Zhai, this is what I should do. After all, I'm still waiting for your grass to sustain me."

"Why are you only thinking about good things!"

"No, I just want to eat grass."

"......"

"Then, if I get injured in the future, can I still come to you for healing?" Zhai Ningning asked tentatively.

"Of course you can, Miss Zhai. If you need anything, you can always find me." Chen Xuan answered without hesitation.

"Alright, this Young Miss has noted it down!"

Then, Chen Xuan was about to leave, but Zhai Ningning suddenly called out to him.

"Chen Xuan, wait a moment." Zhai Ningning said.

Chen Xuan stopped and looked back at Zhai Ningning.

"Is there anything else, Miss Zhai?" Chen Xuan asked.

"Um, thank you for saving my good sisters in the Secret Realm before. I haven't had a chance to thank you yet." Zhai Ningning said somewhat awkwardly.

Zhu Zhu: "???"

Rou Wu: "!!!??"

No, sister, if you have nothing to talk about, you don't have to say anything. Why are you dragging us into this? Also, Chen Xuan's strength, as displayed in front of outsiders, is far inferior to ours. How did it become him saving us when it came out of your mouth?

Chen Xuan smiled at the situation.

"Miss Zhai, you don't have to be like this. It would be a blessing if Miss Zhu Zhu and Miss Qing Wu didn't save me. How could I save them!"

"Ah?! Is, is that so?" Zhai Ningning's face turned beet red.

Just now, looking at Chen Xuan's serious profile, she subconsciously thought he was a Genius master...

"Yes, in fact, I should be thanking you all!"

Hmm, thank you all for giving birth to my babies in the future.

"Then, from now on, you can just call me Ningning. No need to call me Miss Zhai anymore." Zhai Ningning said.

"Alright, Ningning, then please take good care of me from now on." Chen Xuan said.

The two exchanged smiles, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

But clearly, the expressions of the two women behind Zhai Ningning had turned sinister.

Then, the two of them, right in front of Chen Xuan, dragged Zhai Ningning away to her room.

P.S.: I've been in a daze every day. Starting tomorrow, I want to update twice a day. Everyone, please supervise me. If I don't update, just DM me.
