As everyone knows, while Ice Cube is soft and fragrant, she is usually quite cold.
But today, she had a fever.
Her graceful figure was delicate and warm, clinging to him; even through their clothes, her temperature was clearly felt.
Han Xianzi was already burning up, but she still didn't dare to meet Xiao Li's gaze, always feeling that his intense stare would make her fever worse.
Why couldn't she even look him in the eye now?
What exactly happened? Was it because she was sick?
"Li Mo, you're a bad little brother," Ying Bing narrowed her eyes, sickly but defiantly raising her head.
"Not at all, I'm worried about you. What if you get a blister on ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ your mouth?"
Xiao Li had a serious expression, incredibly bold.
It was as if he was taking advantage of Ice Cube's softness and weakness, daring to lift the covers and get into bed, yet now he was acting as if he wasn't the one thinking about eating ice.
Han Xianzi parted her red lips, seemingly wanting to say something more, but the audacious person didn't give her the chance.
"Mmm mmm..."
Li Mo lowered his head, eating the hardest part of Ice Cube's entire body.
Some things have a huge difference between their exterior and interior; looking hard, but tasting sweet and fragrant, making one's mouth water.
However, Doctor Li didn't forget his primary task – to find the blister on her small mouth.
As everyone knows.
Blisters usually appear on the tongue.
After all, having been 'eaten' so many times and having seen the 'study materials' in Xiao Li's head, even though Ice Cube was sick now, as a former Empress and Palace Master, how could she be easily bullied?
Soon, she turned the tables, only attacking and not defending... as if she wanted to reclaim the entire field...
"I always see Brother Li eating this, what is it?"
In the backyard, Murong Xiao curiously picked up an ice pop.
"Xiao Mo likes this stuff, so Xiao Bing'er prepared some. Yours is strawberry flavored."
Shang Qinqing said, humming, "Sure enough, it's just as I expected."
"Clan Leader Shang, is this your first time eating it too?"
"Yes, I suspect this is the 'best thing to eat' Li Mo was talking about, so I secretly went and got a few."
Qin Yuzhi looked triumphant.
"The taste is indeed excellent, sweet."
Murong Xiao took a bite, his eyes lighting up as he nodded.
As he ate, he asked again, "Is it because the ice pops made by Senior Sister Bing are all for Brother Li, that we have to sneak them?"
"That's not it." freewebnσvel.cѳm
Shang Qinqing and Qin Yuzhi shook their heads together.
"Huh? Then why?" Murong Xiao was stunned.
"It tastes better when you sneak it," Shang Qinqing's lips curled slightly.
"If you ask me, Xiao Li is still a bit ignorant. No matter how good ice pops are, they're not as good as candy to crush..."
Luckily, she didn't know that Xiao Li was currently sneaking something even more delicious, otherwise, the sky would probably collapse.
I wonder if Xiao Bing'er is feeling any better...
"Tsk tsk... tsk... smack smack..."
"Hey, little monk, where did you learn that way of eating an ice pop?"
"Brother Li eats it like this."
...
Murong Xiao probably won't be able to surpass his teacher for a while, after all, he doesn't even have a significant other yet, and... considering his current lineage, he might not even have one in the future.
This method of eating isn't just about using the mouth.
As everyone knows.
It's quite normal for a war of words to escalate into physical conflict.
For example, Xiao Li has never been one to just talk. When talking can't solve it, then he has to take action.
Even if he is a gentleman, his hands are not.
Ying Bing's body stiffened slightly; initially, her limbs were just somewhat curled, but now her entire body was Shrink in Li Mo's arms, her defiant gaze becoming a chaotic mess.
"Your hand, it has its own ideas again..."
"Hmm?"
Li Mo also just realized, but as he regained a bit of clarity, he discovered... "Ice Cube, it doesn't seem to be my hand having its own ideas, it's yours..."
"No, it's not."
Ying Bing pursed her lips. If she said her curiosity about the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form had no other intentions, Li Mo probably wouldn't believe her, would he?
To use that to coax a childish ghost?
"..."
She couldn't speak, and she truly didn't dare to engage in a war of words with him again. She used all her strength to twist her body, only showing Li Mo her back.
Her mouth was quiet, but her fiercely beating heart betrayed her.
"Stop staring at me."
"If you don't look at me, how do you know I'm looking at you?"
"..."
Li Mo stared at her pink ear tips, saw her secretly glance at him from the corner of her eye, and then, finding him looking at her, she pretended nothing had happened and turned her gaze away.
In the past, Xiao Li would have thought he saved the world in his previous life and had to continue saving it in this life.
But this time, he didn't feel that way.
This Empress Fairy, whom he had been determined to cling to and exploit for benefits since acquiring the System, seemed to have unconsciously become a part of him, rather than just an investment target.
"Does the blister in your mouth still hurt? I just found it, on the left side of your tongue."
"A little..."
"We'll find a needle and prick it later, and it'll be fine."
Ying Bing learned for the first time that sewing needles had so many uses; they could reduce fever and also prick blisters in one's mouth.
She snuggled in Li Mo's arms, gradually feeling truly warm.
She tried to Move her limbs, and her strength also...
"Ice Cube, don't Move around."
"What's wrong?"
"An iron rod isn't ground into a needle this way," Li Mo's voice was hoarse.
"?"
Ying Bing held her breath.
She found that after turning her body, the two of them embraced even more tightly, and the power of the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form seemed to have grown stronger.
As everyone knows.
Xiao Li's Heaven and Earth Dharma Form was the Move she was least able to cope with, even finding it a bit scary, after all, besides this Move, nothing else could make her faint for two hours.
Her illness was gone, so why was hammer treasure's illness getting worse and worse?
Just then, the System's prompt sounded again.
【Notification: Three days until the next reward.】
【Reward Content: Help Li Mo cure hammer treasure's illness.】
【The System specifically came to check the Host's progress in learning to cure illnesses... Oh, you're currently treating it, then I'll be going, I won't disturb you.】
The annoying System came and went quickly.
This time, it didn't even have time to release any study materials.
But they weren't needed anyway; Ying Bing's brilliant mind had already memorized everything, it was just that every single one of them made her entire body tingle, unable to use any of them.
"Here's the medicinal soup."
Gu Xueqin entered with the soup, then saw the situation and fell into thought.
"Oh, I seem to have come to the wrong place, how strange..."
Mom silently exited the room, closing the door behind her.
