Before he could finish speaking, he started coughing again. Yu Qi's expression changed, and he quickly went to the drawer to take out the medicine. When he opened the bottle, his expression immediately turned even more unpleasant.
After Yu Tang took the medicine and his breathing returned to normal, he asked, "Young Master, didn't you say before that you shouldn't take this kind of medicine if you can avoid it?"
How come there were so many yesterday, but so few today?
"It's okay, I know my body."
Yu Qi was speechless, and seeing the bruises on his bare arm, he gritted his teeth and said, "Young Master, tell me, did that scoundrel do something to you?"
Yu Tang said that she always wraps her body up tightly before taking a shower.
Therefore, neither Xiaohan nor Yuqi saw any marks on Yutang's body.
Yu Qi accidentally barged in and saw everything; it would be strange if he didn't suspect anything.
“No…” Yu Tang said, “You’ve misunderstood.”
"These are injuries from my usual bumps and bruises. Just now, I was taking a bath and almost fell asleep and drowned. It was Palace Master Chu who saved me."
Although Yu Qi was stunned, everyone knew that the marks couldn't possibly be from a bump or bruise.
But he didn't want to embarrass Yu Tang, so he didn't bring it up again.
"Then I'll ask Xiaohan to make you some congee and side dishes. You can eat something and then take a nap. Don't overwork yourself."
Then he stood up, picked up the broken sword from the ground, glared at Chu Jiangli, and said, "If you dare to hurt the young master again, I will risk my life to make you pay the price!"
This time, Chu Jiangli surprisingly didn't retort. Instead, after Yu Qi left, he sat down by Yu Tang's bedside and asked, "As a renowned physician, why is your health so poor? And why did he call me a lecher? And why does he keep asking you if I did something to you?"
Yu Tang replied, "I was seriously injured before, and my body is still recovering, so I am naturally weak."
"As for lecherous men, don't take them to heart. Yu Qi has misunderstood them..."
Yu Tang was slightly taken aback when a hand suddenly appeared on his face.
Chu Jiangli's fingers were warm, with distinct knuckles and a thin layer of calluses on the inside. He stroked Yu Tang's face, which felt slightly itchy.
"Palace Master Chu, you..."
"Doctor, please don't speak, relax."
Yu Tang didn't know what he was going to do, but he could feel Chu Jiangli's hand moving from his forehead to his brow bone, eyes, corners of his eyes, bridge of his nose, and then to his chin and lips.
"hiss……"
The finger touched the bite wound on Yu Tang's lip, causing him to cry out in pain.
Chu Jiangli paused for a moment, then asked, "Since it's just a misunderstanding, could the divine physician tell me?"
"How was this place breached?"
Chapter 7
Died for the villain for the sixth time (07)
Chu Jiangli recalled that he had been poisoned by the Gu poison of the Hehuan Sect, and the lewd words spoken by those people when they were chasing him made him vaguely understand.
Those filthy scoundrels not only wanted to acquire his martial arts skills, but also wanted to trample on his dignity and humiliate him to their heart's content.
Therefore, although he was blind, he could still glean clues from the conversation between Yu Qi and Yu Tang.
Now, by touching him, Yu Tang's wounds have been found again.
Everything is clear as it is.
It seems that he really did force himself on the man in front of him last night.
Yu Tang instinctively retorted, "Uh, it was my cat that bit me!"
The system cat asked in confusion: [?]
Chu Jiangli said with certainty, "Divine Doctor, you are lying."
His finger remained pressed against Yu Tang's lips as he said, "A cat's teeth wouldn't cause this kind of wound."
Yu Tang added, "I was just stressed out, so I bit myself and broke the skin."
After a long silence, Chu Jiangli leaned down, closing the distance between himself and Yu Tang, and asked him, "Divine Doctor, tell me the truth, did I cause this wound?"
Yu Tang knew he probably couldn't fool Chu Jiangli, so he spoke.
"What would you do if I said yes?"
After saying that, he secretly added in his mind: I dare to admit, do you dare to max out the favorability rating directly?
"I will marry you and take responsibility for you."
Chu Jiangli's answer surprised Yu Tang.
The system cat screamed: [Host! This world is progressing so fast! The villain actually proposed!]
But no sooner had he finished screaming than he heard Chu Jiangli's next words: "But I will not love you."
system:【……】
A moment later, Yu Tang said to the system in his mind: "Tongtong, check the favorability rating."
The system then remembered there was such a thing as affection level. It checked it and exclaimed in shock: "[It's still zero! I said I'd marry you, and it's still zero! So, is this what he meant by not loving me?!]"
[What a scumbag! Absolutely a total scumbag!]
"That's perfect, I don't have any feelings for you either." Yu Tang also got a little angry.
She said, "And unfortunately, I already have someone in my heart. The reason I hid what happened last night was because I didn't want my sweetheart to know about it."
"Therefore, to avoid unnecessary trouble, I hope that Palace Master Chu will turn a blind eye and not make a fuss."
"As for marrying me?"
Yu Tang chuckled: "You're not qualified."
Chu general Li Chenggong was speechless and couldn't think of a rebuttal for a moment.
Having served as the Palace Master of Liyue Palace for so many years, countless people have tried to curry favor with him. Although he disdains them, he is also somewhat proud of himself.
Moreover, he had been celibate for so many years. Now, having a relationship with the man in front of him, although he didn't remember the details, he believed he had shown a responsible attitude, promising to marry Yu Tang, and only making the request that he not reciprocate with his feelings.
He never expected that he would be rejected by a man like this.
Perhaps driven by his competitive spirit, he asked Yu Tang, "May I ask the divine physician, who is your beloved?"
Thinking of what Yu Qi had just said.
He added, "Is it Yu Qi, or Xiao Han who cooks porridge?"
Yu Tang looked at the inquisitive man in front of her with a calm and composed expression.
I thought to myself, "You brat, I'll make sure you're dead this time, or I'll admit defeat."
He asked Chu Jiangli in a vague tone, "What do you think?"
Chu Jiangli couldn't see his expression, but could judge the answer from his aura.
But at this moment, Yu Tang was putting on the acting skills of an award-winning actor, even controlling his breathing perfectly, so how could he possibly guess?
"If it's not them, then it's only that Yuan'er."
Chu Jiangli did not answer Yu Tang's question, but instead asked again, "Is your sweetheart Yuan'er?"
Seeing the other person's unwilling expression as they earnestly guessed, Yu Tang was practically laughing hysterically inside.
But it wasn't showing on her face at all.
He replied calmly, "Anyway, it won't be you."
Chapter 8
Died for the sixth time for the villain (08)
Yu Tang's words left Chu Jiangli stunned for a moment.
Then he stood up and said, "It's not me who's the best."
He found a chair and sat down, no longer getting very close to Yu Tang.
"But I am not one to back down from what I have done." Because of his childhood experiences, Chu Jiangli felt extremely disgusted whenever he thought about such sexual acts.
Therefore, although Li Yue Palace is an evil cult and has committed many sins, it has never touched the realm of lust.
Anyone who commits such an offense will inevitably face death if Chu Jiangli finds out.
Even worse, it could be a living hell.
Chu Jiangli's demands on himself were so strict that even the followers of Liyue Palace found it outrageous.
Having lived for over twenty years, I have never been interested in men or women.
Despite possessing unparalleled martial arts skills and stunning looks, he had no one to favor him.
So much so that when Chu Jiangli is mentioned in the martial arts world, people will ask: Is he no good?
But these people only dared to talk about it in private; none of them dared to show up in front of the real person.
Unless you're deliberately courting death.
So they didn't know that in ancient times when men could get married in their teens, Chu Jiangli was still a "young virgin"...
Extremely pure.
This life experience made him feel that he should take some responsibility for Yu Tang.
"Putting aside our deal, I'll help the Divine Doctor with anything he needs in the future."
Chu Jiangli tore off a strip of cloth, used his internal strength to cut his finger, wrote a few words on it, and handed it to Yu Tang: "With this blood-stained cloth as proof, I will grant your three wishes and will never break my promise."
What Yu Tang said earlier was actually just to tease Chu Jiangli, wanting to see the kid lose his composure and look funny.
So now, facing Chu Jiangli who was suddenly so serious, he felt a little uncomfortable.
He took the strip of cloth and read the words on it.
The slender, gold-style handwriting carried a touch of arrogance, reading: "I grant you three wishes, and will surely return on a chosen day—Chu Jiangli."
Even though you can't see anything, the characters are written exceptionally well.
