Feeling extremely apologetic, he strode back into the cave with a worried tone in his voice.

"How is he?"

The one he was referring to was naturally Lan Xiu who was poisoned and unconscious.

Bull replied respectfully, "Don't worry, Owl Head. The leader has already drunk the detoxifying medicine and will wake up soon."

He had seen Hu Feifei treat that female before, so he was very confident in her medical skills.

However, during the conversation, he was surprised to find that there seemed to be something wrong with Mo Xiao's eyes.

He couldn't help but ask hesitantly: "Xiaotou, your eyes..."

Mo Xiao said calmly, "No problem."

Bull said seriously, "Xiaotou, Lady Fei is a skilled doctor, please ask her to take a look at you."

Hu Feifei fixed her swollen wrist and applied some anti-swelling medicine. When she heard them mention her, she readily agreed.

"Come here and show me."

She had previously promised to treat Mo Xiao's eyes, but was forced to interrupt due to an unexpected accident. Now that they meet again, she naturally has to fulfill her promise.

Ahem...just gain some points at the same time.

Listening to her gentle voice, Mo Xiao's eyelashes trembled slightly.

The tall and cold figure paused, but finally walked over, squatted beside Hu Feifei, and looked at her with a pair of colorless black eyes.

Seeing this, Bull and other stray animals retreated tactfully.

Fox Feifei gently touched his eyes with her tender fingers and waved her hand in front of him.

"How is it? Can you see the shadow?"

"Or is it still pitch black?"

Because of her touch, Mo Xiao's body tensed up involuntarily, and he answered in a low voice.

“I can see shadows.”

"That proves that he's recovering." Hu Feifei took out the anti-venom serum as usual and injected it into him.

He also exchanged a bottle of sight-restoring potion for him.

"Just like before, I need daily drops."

"Do you need my help now?" She raised her hand to lift his eyelids, but was dodged.

Mo Xiao took the slightly cool potion, hesitated for a moment, and then asked a nonsense question.

"Why are you with Lan Xiu?"

Hu Feifei curled her lips, not afraid of being captured, but nonchalant, "Of course I was captured by them."

"Why, are you going to let me go?"

she asked tentatively.

Mo Xiao tightened his grip on the potion bottle, as if he was thinking about this problem seriously.

After a long while, he said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry, I can't let you leave."

Hu Feifei was not surprised by his answer. She ignored him, stood up and walked to Lan Xiu, waiting for him to wake up.

Now she deeply understood the principle of the survival of the fittest.

If Lan Xiu died today and Mo Xiao did not appear in time, her situation would be the same as Hu Mengmeng.

So now she hopes very much that Lan Xiu can recover and wake up immediately.

Mo Xiao heard her footsteps as she left and thought she was angry with him. A complex and unclear look emerged in his ink-black eagle eyes.

She must be wishing I could help her now, right?

But she didn't expect that the person she saved was a cold-blooded and heartless person.

But how could he, who bore a blood feud, sympathize with her?

Although he admired her courage and wisdom, and felt sorry for her strength, he was not supposed to feel this kind of heartache.

Thinking of this, he restrained himself and stopped paying attention to her every move.

Turned and left the cave.

As night falls, the temperature begins to drop sharply.

Bull took a few orcs to clean the cave, covered it with clean soft grass and tree bark, and lit a fire, adding straw to get rid of the unpleasant smell of blood.

He then handed a leather bag to Hu Feifei.

Inside are some freshly picked sweet grapefruits, and even some corns and sweet potatoes.

Hu Feifei's eyes lit up. She didn't expect that Bull actually found corn and sweet potatoes.

He immediately set up the stone pot and started cooking corn.

Also put the sweet potatoes into the fire and start roasting.

Today she can improve her food again.

I don’t know if it was because she had consumed a lot of energy during the day or because she was injured and needed to replenish her body, but she ate three corns and two sweet potatoes.

The amount of food you eat can be said to have doubled.

Because orcs don't like to eat vegetarian food, she put the remaining food into an animal skin bag and saved it for tomorrow.

After filling her stomach, she sat drowsily by the campfire.

When Lan Xiu opened his eyes again, what came into view was Hu Feifei's face, which was no longer as rosy and shiny as before.

Her wrists were red and swollen, and her ankles were wrapped in cloth. She curled up in a small ball like a poor injured little animal.

He immediately felt distressed, and a tremendous anger flashed in his ice-blue eyes.

Although he was in a coma and unable to move, he could clearly perceive everything that was happening in the outside world.

He knew that his men took advantage of his dying breath to betray him and even covet her beauty.

But I didn't expect that she was injured so badly.

Letting those beasts die like this is too easy for them!

He clenched his fists until they made a creaking sound, then stood up and approached the sleeping Hu Feifei. He placed her on the animal skin mat very gently, and covered her with a rabbit fur blanket as he was afraid she would be cold.

He walked out of the cave with a cold and gloomy look.

Seeing that he had woken up, the stray beasts bowed their heads in fear, "Chief."

Mo Xiao also walked towards him, "Have you recovered?"

Lan Xiu nodded sternly, his eyes gleaming with bloodthirstiness, "Where are the Xiongqiu guys?"

Mo Xiao responded in a deep voice, "He was thrown to feed the wild beasts."

The idea of ​​grinding them into ashes had to be abandoned, and Lan Xiu gritted his teeth in dissatisfaction.

He glanced at the surrounding orcs as a warning.

He then praised Bull, "You did a good job this time."

"But remember, no matter what happens, don't leave her alone and be the first to protect her safety."

Bull nodded, "Yes, Chief."

The next morning, when Hu Feifei woke up, she was surprised to find herself lying on soft and thick animal skin, with her hands tightly held by a pair of dry and warm big hands.

She looked up in confusion and saw Lan Xiu's silver hair hanging down, his evil and handsome face filled with heartache, and he was rubbing the swelling on her wrist with his fingertips.

His caress brought a tingling sensation to her, and she shuddered and withdrew her hand.

Changing the subject to break the ambiguous atmosphere, "It seems that your poison has been completely cured."

Lan Xiu held her hand again, interlocked their fingers, and his blue eyes became deep.

"Are you worried that I might die?"

Hu Feifei nodded without hesitation, "Of course."

"If I wasn't worried about your safety, why would I go to so much trouble to save you?"

"I didn't even care about my own injuries. I'm trying to cure you of the snake venom first."

She had suffered so much, so naturally she was unwilling to give up this opportunity to improve her favorability.

Lan Xiu's eyes, which were originally as deep as a pool, became hot, and his joy was beyond words.

Bull had told him everything that had happened, so he knew what she said was true.

The anger and dissatisfaction he had felt before because of her escape disappeared, and ripples began to form in his dead heart.

It was the first time that he felt such a feeling of being cared for and loved, and his dead heart became very warm, so warm that he was greedy and wanted to get more.

He held her fair little hand tightly and put it to his lips, looking at her tenderly.

"I failed to protect you."

"But I, Lan Xiu, swear there won't be a next time."
