Meanwhile, Lucia, Xi'er, Yaya, and Little Loki worriedly rushed toward Tang Li Xue.
"Cough, cough, cough... Don't worry. I am fine." Tang Li Xue muttered in a hoarse voice while rubbing her painful neck.
Miracle Doctor Xu's cold and indifferent expression changed slightly when he saw the bruise on Tang Li Xue's neck.
Then Miracle Doctor Xu took out something from his spatial ring and threw it at Tang Li Xue.
Tang Li Xue reflexively caught what was thrown by Miracle Doctor Xu and found out that it was actually a bottle of medicine cream.
"This medicine is... for me?" Tang Li Xue asked in confusion.
Miracle Doctor Xu stared strangely at Tang Li Xue again as if he was looking at an idiot and said coldly: "Who else is hurt here besides you?"
"You just need to apply that ointment to your neck." Miracle Doctor Xu added while turning his face indiferently.
"Thank you very much, Doctor Xu. Hehehe, you are really very kind!" Tang Li Xue smiled brightly like a blooming white lotus under the moonlight.
Tang Li Xue's beauty and charm were enhanced several times after she evolved to [Rare] Grade or Beast Lord, but her innocent bright smile made her even more breathtaking.
Even Miracle Doctor Xu was mesmerized by her again for a few moments and blushed hard under his demon mark.
Tang Li Xue did not notice Miracle Doctor Xu's strangeness as she carefully applied the medicine cream onto her bruised neck.
When Miracle Doctor Xu accidentally caught a glimpse of Tang Li Xue's alluring fair nape, he blushed even harder and hastily turned around, only to find his middle-aged protector staring at him in astonishment.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Miracle Doctor Xu asked his middle-aged protector in his usual cold tone.
The middle-aged protector shook his head while muttering in a helpless tone: "Alas, beauty is truly the hero's downfall. Even our Yanwang is not spared from it!"
"What are you talking about?! I am definitely not..." Miracle Doctor Xu hastily denied it, but the middle-aged protector interrupted him halfway.
"Ah, yes, yes. I know you are not like that, then prove it. Finish what you want to do." The middle-aged protector replied in a provoking tone while pointing his chin at Tang Li Xue.
Miracle Doctor Xu frowned deeply.
After hesitating for a while, his eyes immediately turned extremely cold and sharp.
Miracle Doctor Xu turned around and steadily stepped closer toward Tang Li Xue.
Just when Miracle Doctor Xu stretched his hand to reach Tang Li Xue's neck...
"Thank you very much for saving me just now. It would be really bad if I fall into that pervert Holy Son's hands." Tang Li Xue sincerely thanked Miracle Doctor Xu.
Miracle Doctor Xu's eyes met with Tang Li Xue's topaz blue eyes.
Her bright topaz blue eyes were filled with sincerity and gratitude. They were so clear and pure, without any impurities, which even made Miracle Doctor Xu afraid of accidentally staining them.
Miracle Doctor Xu's hand stopped in mid-air.
His hand was so close to Tang Li Xue's neck, but it was unable to move even an inch forward anymore.
Tang Li Xue's [Extrasensory Perception] actually sensed Miracle Doctor Xu's killing intent just now, but she did not think much about it since she had already gotten used to Miracle Doctor Xu's moody behavior.
In fact, Tang Li Xue sensed Miracle Doctor Xu's killing intent toward her several times already, for example, when she tried to attack him from behind, then when she overheard about his secret, and so on.
In the end, Miracle Doctor Xu still spared her again and again, right? He even offered to cure her 'illness' before. So, Tang Li Xue concluded that it was only Miracle Doctor Xu's 'peculiar' behavior.
'Err, I remember this type of person was pretty popular in romance anime or novels before. What was it called again? Oh, yes, it should be called 'tsundere' type, right? Hehehehe, it was something like [kind and warm on the inside but appear cold and indifferent on the outside].' Tang Li Xue thought this 'tsundere' truly fit the description of Miracle Doctor Xu.
Tang Li Xue put her slender finger on her fair chin and pondered carefully.
She felt that just saying thank you to Miracle Doctor Xu was too superficial.
After all, Miracle Doctor Xu was not only saving her life but also Yaya, Little Loki, Lucia, Phoenix of Pride, and Xi'er since it would have been impossible for them to get away safely from Mo Rui, who was at Spirit Transformation Realm without Miracle Doctor Xu's timely help.
It did not take long for them to reach the city's gate with Lucia's astonishing speed, but they did not rashly go out of the Capital City since they did not want to attract any unwanted attention.
Tang Li Xue put away Lucia, Yaya, and Little Loki into her System's pet space while Xi'er returned into [Sword of Disaster], and Tang Li Xue stored the [Sword of Disaster] into her space pouch.
After doing all of those, Tang Li Xue activated her Perfect Level [Art of Concealment] and jumped onto one of the trading wagons that were heading out of the Capital City.
The City Guards carefully checked the trading wagons one by one, including all the items stored inside them, but they could not see or sense Tang Li Xue, who was sitting leisurely in one of the trading wagons.
After making sure there was nothing suspicious inside the trading wagon, the City Guards opened the city's gate and let the trading wagon out of the Capital City.
.....
Right at this time, Miracle Doctor Xu had returned to the Imperial Palace, and currently, he was heading back to his own courtyard.
"Young Master, I knew that you were already..." The middle-aged protector spoke to Miracle Doctor Xu in a half-teasing and half-mocking tone.
But Miracle Doctor Xu immediately interrupted him in an annoyed tone: "Shut up! Don't say anything about this anymore."
Miracle Doctor Xu entered his room and hastily closed the door of his room before the middle-aged protector could follow him to enter his room.
Inside the room, Miracle Doctor Xu slowly opened the demon mask that was covering his peerlessly handsome face.
Who knew that his face behind the demon mask was actually still blushing hard like a prawn?!
Miracle Doctor Xu raised his hand and touched his chest, then he found out that his heart was still beating so fast.
He had been separated from Tang Li Xue for quite some time, but he just simply could not get rid of Tang Li Xue's charming innocent smile from his mind.
Miracle Doctor Xu took out the [100,000 years Stalagtite Essense] that was previously gifted by Tang Li Xue from his spatial ring and caressed it gently.
'I forgot to ask for her name.' Miracle Doctor Xu thought regretfully.
