"Otherwise?"

Xiao Qiran opened his mouth, and an intense pain swept over.

Gu Mingyan seemed to have already noticed this and stuffed the handkerchief into his mouth. His wet hair was stuck to his neck, but she only used her hand to press against Xiao Qiran's forehead and laughed lightly: "You martial artists are truly resistant to beating up."

With that, Xiao Qiran watched as she took the handkerchief away and placed his fingers on it.

The soft sensation exploded into bursts of white light in Xiao Qiran's mind, which was quickly followed by the sweet liquid sliding down his throat. He had a gloomy face, his upper and lower teeth did not dare continue closing, and could only stare with wide eyes at Gu Mingyan.

Your blood!

Gu Mingyan did not look at his face anymore, instead, he raised the blade in his hand, his gaze becoming indifferent.

"Found it."

With a raise of her hand, blood splattered on Gu Mingyan's face, and a faint gold light rose from her eyes, which then disappeared without a trace.

When the sun rose, Gu Mingyan wiped away the dried up blood on his face and walked out of the house.

Shuang Hua hurriedly rushed over, but Gu Mingyan calmly wiped away both of his bloody hands. He stared at his fingertip that did not even have a single tooth on it, and fiercely wiped it with a frown, causing him to feel a slight stabbing pain.

Since he was in so much pain, why didn't he bite him?

He clearly knew that as long as he had one more drop, he would not be in so much pain.

She had an unkind expression on her face as she wiped the gaps between her fingers clean. Seeing Shuang Hua coming over, she had a rare cold look on her face and walked out of the steam-like room. Her entire body was drenched, but it was still cold enough to keep people at a distance of a thousand miles, causing Shuang Hua to stop five steps away and say softly: "Young miss, your clothes are all wet."

"I still need to go inside and prepare some food for me."

When she left, she lifted the teacup and poured it directly into her mouth. The cool water slid down her neck along with the cold wind, and only then did she wake up a little. With some energy, she walked in by herself, and the aunts behind her quickly filled the teacup with hot water and charcoal.

Shuang Hua frowned: "Wei Bai, go and find a few maids to help us out."

"I've already sent someone to look for him, but just now …" "Eldest Miss has never given Eldest Sister such orders before, and her expression …"

"Be careful."

Shuang Hua raised his hands to stop Wei Bai's questions, and followed the two aunts into the house.

She carefully walked over and saw Gu Mingyan bending over to pour all of the remaining water into His Highness's mouth, and even whispered into it.

"The last step won't hurt, but it'll be a little hot. I'll be careful."

Gu Mingyan extended his hand into the almost scalding water, which was so hot that it turned red on his fingertips, and in the end, hugged the water up. Just as Her Highness was nodding while biting on the bamboo chopsticks, he poured the boiling water down his chest.

The two aunties cried out in alarm, and one of them actually fainted.

Shuang Hua hurriedly brought the two aunts out. When he went in to help, Gu Mingyan was currently putting a dry cloth on her highness's body, while she had opened the two windows to extinguish the carbon fire. Panting, she slid down the wall.

Shuang Hua hurried over to help her up but he was surprised to find that her arms were ice-cold.

"Take him out and leave me alone."

Gu Mingyan panicked and waved away Shuang Hua's hands. Both of his hands were hidden under his jacket and his eyes were like a berserk beast. He actually forced Shuang Hua to take two steps back and called Wei Bai in.

Inside the house shrouded in clouds and mist, Gu Mingyan slowly closed her heavy eyelids.

She turned into a ghost and entered her own space. The golden phoenix above her head dimmed. She curled up in a corner and fell into a deep sleep, not feeling the pain that was beginning to boil in her blood vessels.

She was the one who had overestimated this situation.

It had only been one night, but his mind was already so weak. He was about to step into the gates of hell.

If it wasn't for the fact that she couldn't stop giving acupuncture and medicine for the first time, she wouldn't have risked her life to busy herself through the night.

Xiao Qiran, you owe me yet another life.

When Shuang Hua returned, Gu Mingyan had already fallen into a deep sleep while leaning in the corner. Only when he was carried by Shuang Hua did he suddenly open his eyes, and stealthily hid his opened fingertips into his wet sleeves. His voice gently covered Shuang Hua's ears as he spoke: "There's poison in the blood, don't touch it."

After those words faded away, there was only tranquility left.

Shuang Hua had never seen a doctor fall before a patient, he hurriedly sent the person to a nearby courtyard. He originally wanted to invite the doctor over, but Wei Bai hurriedly said: "There is something wrong with the doctor that you trusted previously, if you were to find another one, bring the young miss over for your highness' diagnosis …"

"If anything happens to Eldest Miss, we will all die with her!"

Shuang Hua's eyes became red, and he could only pace back and forth in the room.

He glanced at the person on the bed uneasily – if he knew that there was danger on this trip, why didn't he make preparations beforehand?

After a while, Shuang Hua realized that Gu Mingyan's body was gradually warming up, his face was terrifyingly pale, and on that small finger that was cut open, the wound actually covered the entire finger. Shuang Hua did not dare to touch it, and only carefully wrapped it up without moving.

He only said that Bai Feiyu missed his granddaughter and that he would stay for a few more days. Mr. Xu Chang would work with them from the inside, and it was unlikely that anyone would know that the young miss was staying at the mansion.

It was only now, late in the morning, that Gu Mingyan finally woke up.

Before even opening his eyes, he was already rolling on the bed like usual, wanting to eat. Shuang Hua quickly sent people to get food, then reluctantly opened his eyes, with a coat draped over his shoulders, he walked to the table. His eyes were expressionless, but when he ate, it was like a wolf devouring food, causing no one to dare step near him.

"How is Eldest Miss? Are you not feeling well? "

Shuang Hua carefully asked, but was met with a cold glance from the pair of peach blossom eyes, and without stopping, she only shook her head.

And Gu Mingyan's so called wolfing down his food like a wolf, was like sitting straight at the table, chewing less and eating more and more, quickly swallowing all the food, but the movements were extremely rhythmic, and Shuang Hua who was practicing martial arts felt that something was amiss.

The Eldest Miss's manner of eating was similar to that of the soldiers in the military camp, except that she was not as boastful and rude as them.

From beginning to end, her back was slightly straight and her eyelids were lowered.

Wei Bai felt that this was a stranger, so he went to push His Highness who was resting next door over.

Xiao Qiran had been lying down all night, and even though he felt his entire body boiling hot, as though he was in a steamer, but because he was training the blazing inner force, he was fine.

"Who exactly are your teachers?"

Gu Mingyan paused his hands and looked at him.

"No comment."
