"This idiot, he's been staring for so long, why doesn't he steal a kiss?"
Ma Xiaotao's eyelids twitched slightly, feeling a bit speechless.
She had actually been awake for a few minutes and could feel Ye Chen next to her.
But Ye Chen was only focused on playing with her hand, not even daring to steal a kiss, which truly disappointed her…
Finally, Ma Xiaotao couldn't bear it anymore, she gently moved her finger and slowly opened her eyes.
"Sister Xiao Tao, you're awake! How are you feeling?" Ye Chen asked with concern when he saw Ma Xiaotao awaken.
"Mm, I'm fine…" Ma Xiaotao looked up and gave Ye Chen a slight smile.
For some reason, Ye Chen always felt that Ma Xiaotao's gaze at him held a hint of resentment.
"That's good." Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief, perhaps it was just his imagination.
"By the way, why have my clothes been changed?"
Ma Xiaotao quickly noticed her situation; she was only wearing a patient's gown, and it was quite cool inside, clearly…
"Mm, I changed them."
Ye Chen said seriously.
Ma Xiaotao: …
"Ugh… How could you do that…"
Ma Xiaotao's face flushed crimson, and she immediately pulled the quilt over her face.
"Wuwuwu… This guy is so dishonest… Wuwuwu I must have been seen completely… No, he has to take responsibility for me…"
Ma Xiaotao's heart pounded wildly, but she was strangely not angry, only a little embarrassed, and a hint of inexplicable joy…
Moreover, Ye Chen saved her before she lost consciousness, so it was a benefit for Ye Chen…
"Uh, Sister Xiao Tao, I was just kidding, Ling Luochen changed them for you." Seeing Ma Xiaotao's reaction, Ye Chen stopped joking and quickly explained.
"What did you say?"
Ma Xiaotao suddenly emerged from the quilt, glaring at Ye Chen angrily.
She wasn't angry just now, but now she was a little upset.
Idiot Ye Chen, he didn't even seize such a good opportunity! How annoying, he's so stupid!
"Uh… Ling Luochen helped you change them, I really didn't look." Ye Chen naturally didn't know Ma Xiaotao's thoughts, and thinking Ma Xiaotao was angry because of this, he quickly explained.
"Hmph!"
Ma Xiaotao gave Ye Chen a glare, snorted softly, and then burrowed back into the quilt, turning her back to Ye Chen, clearly feeling a bit depressed and disappointed.
What was the use of Ling Luochen changing her clothes? That scoundrel probably even secretly grabbed a couple of times.
It would have been better to let Ye Chen do it; letting Ye Chen do it could have even increased the affection between them…
What a pity…
"Ah, this…" Ye Chen scratched his head, he really couldn't fathom Ma Xiaotao's thoughts, why did her expression change so quickly?
However, he didn't care, instead, he condensed a "Life Seed," then gently patted Ma Xiaotao's shoulder and said, "Sister Xiao Tao, it's time to take your medicine."
"Hmm… No need, I'm almost fully recovered, just need to find a healing Spirit Master for treatment when I go back." Ma Xiaotao waved her hand gently.
For internal and external injuries like these, a Soul Skill from a healing Spirit Master is much more effective than any elixir or precious medicine.
Only for some difficult-to-heal hidden injuries are medicines better than Soul Skills.
She knew her own injuries well; they were all superficial wounds. The healing Spirit Master here wasn't skilled enough, so it would be better once she returned to Shrek.
"Sister Xiao Tao, this is a life-saving medicine given to me by my family, and it's very effective."
Ye Chen was helpless and explained.
"Hmm?"
Ma Xiaotao turned her head at this moment and immediately saw a emerald green pill in Ye Chen's hand.
The pill was only the size of a grain of rice, but it emitted a faint green light, full of vitality. Even just by looking at it, Ma Xiaotao felt her injuries recovering faster.
Her discerning eye was naturally very sharp, and she could tell at a glance that this pill was extraordinary, definitely a top-tier precious medicine!
Although most healing pills are far inferior to the Soul Skills of a healing Spirit Master, some pills refined from very rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures can not only rival powerful healing Spirit Masters in effect but also have tremendous benefits for a Spirit Master's body.
Clearly, Ye Chen's pill belonged to the latter!
Although Ye Chen came from a medical family, Ma Xiaotao was certain that this life-saving pill was also exceptionally precious within Ye Chen's family.
"No, my injuries are almost completely healed, this pill would be too much of a waste for me." Ma Xiaotao quickly waved her hand, pushing the "Life Seed" in Ye Chen's hand back.
"It's not precious, I have hundreds of these pills~" Ye Chen said casually.
"Ah? Hundreds??"
Ma Xiaotao opened her mouth, a bit dumbfounded.
Are life-saving pills that cheap now?
"Good opportunity!"
Seeing this, Ye Chen directly flipped his hand and stuffed the pill into Ma Xiaotao's mouth.
The power of life melted upon entry, instantly bursting open in Ma Xiaotao's mouth, transforming into pure life energy, and immediately began to nourish Ma Xiaotao's physical body.
Although Ma Xiaotao's back skin had fully recovered, a large area of flesh inside was hollow, requiring a lot of time to recuperate.
And at this moment, under the nourishment of the powerful life force, the concavity on Ma Xiaotao's back visibly became full.
In just a few tens of seconds, Ma Xiaotao's back injuries recovered as before, and her skin even seemed to become more lustrous and healthier.
"Hmm… This!!!"
Ma Xiaotao's beautiful eyes widened instantly, clearly not expecting Ye Chen's pill to be so effective!
Such powerful healing energy, its effect could probably rival a Spirit Saint-level healing Spirit Master's full-force treatment!
After all, she was a Spirit Emperor, and the same injury would be more difficult to treat, but Ye Chen's pill not only healed her injuries but even made her body a few years younger and more vibrant.
"Sister Xiao Tao, how do you feel?" Ye Chen noticed Ma Xiaotao's expression and quickly asked.
He also wanted to know the medicinal effect of his "Life Seed," so he could make standards in the future and inject different amounts of life according to the injury, to avoid waste.
"Bastard!!"
Ma Xiaotao suddenly looked up at Ye Chen, then directly pulled Ye Chen over, pinning him down and fiercely kneading him: "Are you trying to die? How can you waste such a precious pill!"
Ma Xiaotao fiercely kneaded Ye Chen's face, clearly furious.
She wasn't stupid; a pill of this caliber was absolutely a top-grade among top-grades, how could there be hundreds of them!
This must be a life-saving medicine given to Ye Chen by his family elders. In the absence of a healing Spirit Master, such a pill was truly like a second life, and Ye Chen would at most have one or two.
Yet Ye Chen unhesitatingly gave this precious pill to her…
As Ma Xiaotao spoke, she couldn't help but cry…
She was clearly deeply moved.
"Sister Xiao Tao, why are you crying~"
Ye Chen grinned, reaching out to gently wipe away the tears from Ma Xiaotao's eyes.
At this moment, Ma Xiaotao was already wearing a patient's gown, but perhaps the gown was too small, as several buttons on her chest had popped open.
From Ye Chen's gentlemanly perspective…
It was basically an unobstructed view.
