But he was still a step too late.
As he entered, he saw Ying Bing holding a spoon, frowning slightly, and cautiously tasting the dish.
"Ice Cube, quick, spit it out!"
Li Mo, who had just devoured a whole pot, was greatly alarmed. He rushed in frantically, pinching her crimson lips into an 'O' shape, genuinely searching for something inside this time.
Unfortunately, just like before, he found nothing.
"You swallowed it all?!"
"You ate it too, and a whole pot, cough..."
Before Ying Bing could finish her sentence, her mouth was covered by a finger that, without time for explanation, tried to poke her throat.
She tilted her head to dodge and pursed her lips, saying,
"Stop messing around, I feel strange."
"Spit it out quickly, that's no joke! Do you feel uncomfortable now?"
"No... Huh? Li Mo, have you learned a new Divine Ability?"
As soon as Ying Bing finished speaking, she felt a little cold, which was because her body temperature had risen.
"No, I haven't," Li Mo quickly searched his sumaru object for the Five-Essence Purple Spirit Pill.
"Then why do you have three heads?"
"Where are there three? There are clearly two... Huh?!"
Xiao Li suddenly looked up.
Han Xianzi's fair face was now entirely flushed, her eyes sparkling with confusion and haziness, like a thin mist rising over autumn waters, making her appear somewhat dazed.
It might sound a bit heartless to say.
But seeing the usually cool and aloof Ice Cube in such a soft and silly state, Li Mo's first thought was, 'She's so damn cute.'
"Ouch..." Ying Bing clutched her stomach, and fine, crystal-like sweat appeared on her forehead.
She fell into the arms of the three-headed Xiao Li, her vision then sinking into darkness... The Empress Palace Mistress hadn't dreamed in a long time.
This dream was unusually strange; the world became colorful, everything seemed to be stretching and spinning, as if all things had turned into a kaleidoscope.
She couldn't recall being caught in such a powerful illusion array.
Oh, right.
She had eaten the hodgepodge she made herself.
In a daze, she felt a Medicinal Pill being fed into her mouth, cool and refreshing. Then, the hazy voices in her ear gradually became clear; it was a very familiar voice.
"How is little Bing'er? She's about to get married, what should we do?"
It was Aunt Gu's voice.
Then she heard Xue Jing speak:
"Little Bing'er has a special Physique, it's not a big problem. She'll recover # Nоvеlight # on her own after a while. Xiao Mo timely fed her the Five-Essence Purple Spirit Pill, which will shorten the recovery time significantly. Just be careful these two days and rest with some Qi-nourishing and spirit-calming medicine."
"I will take good care of her."
This was the voice Ice Cube found most reassuring.
Xue Jing asked, puzzled, "What did little Bing'er eat, after all?"
"She cooked a meal herself," Li Mo said helplessly.
The room fell silent for a moment.
Xue Jing decisively rejected the offer to stay for dinner, leaving a prescription for a spirit-nourishing soup before departing, as if something terrifying was chasing him.
Li Dalong and Gu Xueqin exchanged glances, deciding to go brew the medicine first.
"Dad, find a place to bury the pot. Remember to find a secluded spot and dig the pit deep."
After saying this, the room became quiet. Then, Ying Bing felt a warm hand on her forehead.
"She's burning up."
Li Mo frowned.
"So cold."
Ying Bing felt weak all over. She struggled to open her eyes a crack and speak another sentence, as if it took all the strength Li Mo used to eat baby food.
It's well known that Ice Cube is usually a cool and aloof Fairy. Although she wasn't like that with Li Mo, she still maintained a wise and serene demeanor.
Without special circumstances, she usually acted as an older sister to Xiao Li; her inner strength seemed far greater than her actual power.
To show such a sickly and fragile appearance was truly a first.
Previously, Li Mo was full of worry, but now knowing she wasn't in serious danger, he found her both pitiful and adorable.
"Then I'll find something warm to warm you up."
"Mm."
Ying Bing nodded instinctively.
Li Mo lifted the quilt and climbed onto the bed, pulling her into a full embrace.
Ying Bing: "?"
"Just tell me if it's warm or not. Who could be warmer than me?" Xiao Li said with righteous indignation.
Ice Cube, whose head was already spinning and who saw things like a funhouse mirror, couldn't refute him, because it was indeed very warm, a comforting warmth that made one want to linger.
"It clearly wasn't tasty."
"Ice Cube also has times of melancholy?" Li Mo smiled, repeating her words from last time.
"Hmph..."
Ying Bing turned her head away, pouting and refusing to look at him.
Such an aggrieved expression, to be seen on Ice Cube's face. freewebnøvel.coɱ
Perhaps it wasn't entirely due to being sick and dizzy; after all, she had suffered more severe injuries in her previous life.
It was only because now she didn't need to pretend to be strong.
"Tasty it certainly wasn't, but I really like it. Look, haven't I broken through? Countless people suffer far greater hardships to break through, and still might not succeed."
Li Mo had an exaggerated expression:
"And think about it, food personally cooked by Han Xianzi—how many people would risk their lives just to taste a bite? Too bad they don't have the chance."
"No way... I won't cook for anyone else in the future."
"Of course, after all, Han Xianzi is mine. Outsiders who want to eat don't even have a door."
Li Mo stroked the hair by her ear, saying with righteous conviction.
"My head seems even dizzier."
Ying Bing's eyelashes trembled slightly at his words, her eyes hazy with moisture.
"There won't be any lingering after-effects, will there?"
Li Mo, however, became nervous. He checked her with his Tianming Divine Eye, but found no other symptoms, just that her eyes seemed a bit dazed.
"No big problem, just still a bit feverish, as Xue Lao said."
"You can also treat illnesses?"
"I know a little, I suppose. To get better quickly, a shot would do the trick. One shot and any fever would be gone."
"A shot?" freewebnøvel.coɱ
Ying Bing had only heard of acupuncture; perhaps a shot was a similar treatment method?
She was about to say that she also knew a few martial arts techniques involving needles, but before the words left her mouth, she frowned and gently gasped.
"What's wrong?"
"My mouth hurts, it feels like it's blistering."
"Let me check."
Xiao Li solemnly gripped her chin.
