Chapter 550: Snow Water (3k)
“Miss, those people have only gone away temporarily. I estimate they will return to search once they find that we are not at any of the exits after some time.”
Turning to look at Su Jiu, Bairnis’s face showed a hint of helplessness. She slowly walked over, her fingertips emitting a faint green light as they hovered above Su Jiu’s frost-covered skin. The helplessness in her eyes turned into a tinge of heartache, and she spoke gently again,
“The skin affected this time is constantly being eroded by frost and snow. Healing it is equivalent to regrowing skin. I suggest that Miss wait for a day until the dead skin separates from the flesh before healing. It will be very painful to treat it now…”
Looking at Bairnis about to begin the treatment, Su Jiu suppressed her slightly pained breathing and grinned, pulling out the torn clothing and biting it, speaking in a rather muffled voice,
“It needs to be healed quickly. I don’t know how long the competition will delay us.”
“Alright, you’ll have to bear with it.”
Letting out a light sigh, a trace of red appeared in Bairnis’s eyes. She gently pressed her fingertips onto Su Jiu’s frosty skin, feeling its hardness. The light from her hand shone even brighter.
Bairnis’s voice became serious, yet it gave Su Jiu an inexplicable sense of tenderness, like having her closest sister by her side when she was sick.
“We need to harden the skin first, Miss. If you can’t bear it, just grab my hand and bite. Blood Clan members not only release anesthetics to their prey but also experience a numbing feedback themselves.”
Feeling the pain as if her flesh was being torn apart, Su Jiu let out a faint groan through gritted teeth. Cold sweat began to bead on her forehead. This feeling was ten times more intense than that of Dream Lake.
Frost energy continuously surged out from Su Jiu’s skin. The frost-colored skin gradually hardened and darkened, and the pain began to subside.
Su Jiu’s brow also relaxed slightly. She spat out the clothing and looked at the undamaged Hanfu beside her, speaking with a touch of relief,
“Thankfully, I was wearing this Hanfu. Although it doesn’t have any buffs, it’s really durable. If it were the Crow Feather Attire, it definitely wouldn’t have been able to withstand this level of attack.”
Bairnis carefully touched Su Jiu’s skin, which had been affected by the special energy, and looked at the Hanfu with a hint of surprise. She said softly,
“This clothing is very strange. Its material seems only to be Battle King Level, but the core component should be an extremely high-grade material. I wonder where Miss acquired it.”
“This is the clothing of a descendant of a Sword God family. They say it was meant for later generations, but realistically, Major General Jing Zi shouldn’t have been able to obtain materials of this caliber.”
Su Jiu also fell into thought. As her strength grew, she also found the clothing to be strange. When she was at a lower level, she could accept it by saying that the Yun Jing attire was inherently high-level.
But now, it had withstood the full force of a mid-level War God’s attack. This basically meant that the Silly Duke’s judgment back then was correct: this Hanfu contained a grand formation, but the activation method was unknown.
Then the question arises: why didn’t Major General Yun Jing wear this attire when confronting the sudden appearance of The Others?
What exactly is the grand formation within the Hanfu…
“Ouch!”
Just as Su Jiu was contemplating, an agonizing pain erupted from her waist, causing her to cry out. She abruptly turned her head and saw that Bairnis was peeling off the old skin. However, Su Jiu’s frequent training had made her body very firm, causing deeper adhesion between her skin and flesh.
“Miss, you should still bite down. The latter part will hurt more…”
Bairnis pulled up her sleeve, revealing her somewhat pale skin and offering it to Su Jiu’s mouth. Seeing Su Jiu’s expression of refusal, she quickly reminded her,
“Besides, Miss, you don’t have any spare underwear anymore. Your clothes were used to pad the ground.”
Hearing this, Su Jiu’s eyes immediately went blank. She glanced at the fair arm again, and she could almost see the blue veins beneath the skin, giving off a European noble vibe.
Tempting and elegant.
Since Bairnis had said so, Su Jiu didn’t think much of it. She opened her mouth slightly, revealing her slightly pointed fangs, and bit into the soft, white arm. The scent of blood rushed into Su Jiu’s nostrils almost simultaneously.
“Aiya!”
Su Jiu felt a tingling sensation in her head, and the stinging pain in her back seemed to be covered up, replaced by a feeling of heavenly bliss. She felt like calling out wantonly, but she shouldn’t have made a sound just now.
Could it be…
She then opened her eyes slightly and turned to look, only to meet a pair of eyes filled with autumn water. Bairnis’s face was flushed with a rosy glow, like a newly bloomed rose, with a hint of shyness.
“Mis…Miss, you’re not allowed to turn your head during the healing process.”
The moment she met Su Jiu’s gaze, Bairnis’s head suddenly lowered. She felt an inexplicable surge of shame, then grasped her skirt with her other hand and took half a step back, emitting a slightly trembling, high-pitched voice.
She had never been truly bitten by Su Jiu, or rather, by a Blood Clan member. Being bitten felt like…
Continuing to bite the pulled arm, Su Jiu was unsure of the other person’s situation. She then mumbled vaguely, “What’s wrong? Does it hurt… your face is so red.”
“No… no, don’t look!”
The stimulation and the strange feeling of being watched by Su Jiu caused Bairnis to involuntarily clench her legs, feeling as if she was being electrocuted at high intensity. Then, she abruptly crouched down, burying her face in her skirt.
“Naughty Miss…”
Bairnis had initially suppressed her voice for fear of losing control in an emergency. But now, being looked at by Su Jiu, her shame and affection for the former intertwined.
The moment she crouched down, her legs seemed to involuntarily clench, and an involuntary relaxation washed over her. A bit of fluid directly slid down her thighs, making her legs feel cool and moist…
“What’s wrong?”
Su Jiu tilted her head and reached out to stroke the crouching head. She found the other person inexplicably cute. However, Bairnis didn’t look up, only burying her head deeper.
The rustling sound of a small stream echoed in the tree hollow, mixed with the sound of wind and snow. If one didn’t listen carefully, it would be impossible to detect.
And Su Jiu, in her dazed state, was even less likely to hear anything.
“…”
Looking at her movements, Su Jiu slowly loosened her grip on Bairnis’s arm and then looked at the half-torn old skin on her own body, falling into silence…
Wait, can surgery be stopped halfway?
To make the other person a bit more normal, Su Jiu averted her gaze and slowed down her blood-sucking speed. The stimulating sensation in her mind also began to fade considerably.
“Miss needs to take off her inner wear.”
Soon, Bairnis, her face flushed red, stood up and said in a low voice. Then, without hesitation, she pulled off Su Jiu’s inner wear, her cheeks puffed out and crimson.
“Naughty Miss…”
She mumbled softly, her fingers moving as if weaving, agile and elegant.
Su Jiu closed her eyes slightly, feeling the movements on her back continue. However, the technique felt strange. Why was Bairnis always pressing her buttocks?
Even when her slender fingers reached the lower abdomen, they accidentally slipped, sinking in slightly.
But each time, it was just a fleeting touch, as if by accident.
“What is Little Sisi doing?”
Forbidden zones were touched, and Su Jiu couldn’t help but tremble. She then deliberately looked at Bairnis, only to find that apart from her blushing face, Bairnis had an expression of earnest concentration, as if she was doing her utmost to treat her.
Her body always felt a tingling sensation, but there was nothing special. The other person was a benevolent doctor, and as a doctor, she wouldn’t have any malicious intentions.
“Little Sisi has always been a close confidante, how could she have any other intentions.”
Instantly, a sense of guilt arose on Su Jiu’s face. To avoid affecting Bairnis, after being touched on her sensitive areas, she forcibly suppressed her special reactions, even consciously spreading her legs to accept the treatment.
Seeing Su Jiu’s action, Bairnis was first slightly stunned, then thought of something and smiled knowingly. She never expected that the usually serious Miss would have such an open side.
“Miss, the next part may be a bit intense, so remember to speak up if you can’t bear it.”
Ignoring the cool sensation beneath her, Bairnis clamped her legs together and licked her dry lips, suppressing the trembled excitement in her voice—she hadn’t been harboring intentions towards Su Jiu for just a day or two.
Hearing the thoughtful reminder, Su Jiu felt warmth in her heart and further slowed down her blood-sucking speed. She nodded absentmindedly and said, “It’s fine, I can endure it…”
Upon receiving a response, Bairnis acted as if she had received a imperial decree. While tearing off the skin, she began to test the frequency, increasing it, but always maintaining an appropriate depth—
After all, the primary goal was treatment.
Feeling the stimulating sensations from behind in every sense of the word, Su Jiu felt inexplicably thirsty. She could no longer control the speed in her mouth and drank from the vein on the arm.
With this gulp, Bairnis’s movements became weak. Before she could do anything else, she quickly tore off the old skin and used the special healing technique to accelerate the growth of new skin.
“Phew… Done. The old skin has been removed. With Miss’s vitality, new skin should form quickly—I need to rest for a bit.”
After an unknown amount of time, Bairnis’s voice echoed in the empty tree hollow again, sounding somewhat weak.
“Phew—”
She stumbled towards the other large tree, closing her eyes completely, indifferent to the coldness emanating from behind her.
Without Bairnis nearby, it took Su Jiu about five to six minutes to recover. The tingling sensation subsided, and a burning sensation spread across her back. Just as she was about to get up and dress, she felt a wet sensation on the sole of her foot.
Su Jiu looked closely and saw a puddle of melted snow water, shimmering brightly.
However, she paid no mind. She then walked barefoot to Bairnis’s side, gently pinched her cheek, and said softly, “You’ve worked hard, especially for maintaining the temperature inside the tree hollow.”
The snow water was likely melted by Bairnis.
Hearing this, Bairnis opened her eyes, completely bewildered, and shook her head weakly, “I only maintained Miss’s body temperature.”
Hearing this, Su Jiu tilted her body slightly, pointed at the puddle of clear snow water, and asked with surprise, “Then what is this?”
“This… this is!”
Bairnis followed Su Jiu’s finger. Her sky-blue eyes narrowed slightly, and a flush of red surged from her neck to her entire pretty face. Under Su Jiu’s gaze, she pursed her lips again and squeezed out two words from her small mouth:
“Snow water.”
