Chapter 2151: Chapter 1252: The Most Beautiful First Encounter 3
Xia Weibao almost drooled at that moment.
So handsome, even without any expression, still so handsome.
The voice was pleasant too.
"Your wound has opened up, let me help you treat it first."
As she spoke, she grabbed the medical kit and reached out to lift the blanket.
The man was startled, quickly pressing down the blanket, somewhat annoyed, "What are you doing?"
"Treating your wound, what else could I be doing?"
"You... have no shame."
"Hey, what’s wrong with you? I’m just trying to treat your bleeding wound, how can you insult me?"
"Men and women should not touch each other, don’t you even understand this etiquette?"
Xia Weibao was also annoyed. Anyone who saves someone in good faith, yet instead of gratitude, gets scolded— even a saint has a temper.
Throwing the medical kit aside, "Fine, consider me meddlesome. You should just have been hacked to death or struck by lightning!"
With that, she turned and strode away.
The man pursed his lips, suddenly realizing his earlier rudeness.
He was just a bit angry. In Great Xia Kingdom, unless married, one cannot let the opposite sex see their body.
If seen, it’s equivalent to a marriage contract.
As a dignified ruler, how can he let a stranger see him?
And this woman, of unknown origin, what if she’s a spy...
As he was thinking, the door curtain was lifted, and the woman who just said he should be hacked or struck by lightning came in with a pouting face.
She glared at him and then placed a bowl of ginger soup on the table.
In a huff, she picked up the medical kit, silently and sullenly unwrapped the blood-stained gauze on his body, and re-applied medicine and wrapped it up.
Her face was puffed up in anger, yet her hands moved gently, afraid of hurting him.
She didn’t say a word throughout the process, and after treating the wound, she left.
The man glanced at the gauze on his body, then at the bowl of ginger soup on the table, lifted it to his nose to sniff, no poison.
He suddenly felt guilty, could it be he really judged her intentions wrongly?
Did she just happen to save him, without any ulterior motives?
The ginger soup in his hand was still warm, as was the warmth in his palm.
After drinking it, he saw his previous clothes hanging on the nearby rack, a bit torn due to the injury.
The bloodstains on them had been cleaned but were not dry yet.
He took the clothes and dried them using his Inner Strength.
After putting on the clothes, he lifted the door curtain and went out.
The rain had stopped outside, and the air was very fresh.
The surroundings were elegant, a few peach trees planted in front of the house, and a medicinal herb garden at the back.
The white-robed woman from earlier was squatting in the herb garden, replanting the medicinal herbs washed out by the heavy rain.
Her movements were a bit aggressive, as if venting something.
The man walked up behind her, hesitated for a moment, and awkwardly said, "Earlier... sorry."
As a ruler, he was accustomed to being on top, never having apologized to anyone.
But seeing such a small person sulking alone, he felt he was wrong.
Xia Weibao turned her head, already somewhat angry, and seeing the man’s clothes made her even more furious.
"Are you looking to die? Using Inner Strength while injured, if you think your life is too long just say it, wasting my medicinal ingredients to save people!"
As a healer, she couldn’t stand patients not valuing their own lives.
If he wanted to die so much, he should’ve said it earlier; then she wouldn’t have saved him.
The man looked at her puffed-up face and suddenly felt like laughing. Clearly she was concerned, yet used such a tone.
The corners of his mouth slightly turned up, "I can’t walk around naked, can I?"
This smile completely stunned Xia Weibao.
Oh my, the lethal force is strong!
The earlier anger was entirely extinguished by this face...
