Mu Qiuniang replied helplessly, "I only have one bottle, and your injuries are so severe that one bottle wouldn't do much good. Instead of wasting it, I'd rather use it on my husband. Luckily, he only needs one bottle! Once he recovers, you can recuperate in his 'New Era.' It'll be more effective."
"You've got a point. Fine, I won't hold it against you," the Black Dragon murmured before closing his eyes again.
