When he regained consciousness again, he was already on the bed in the dormitory, and the sky was already dark, as if the embers had never appeared.

Only Yun Chengzheng was sitting on the footrest by the bed with an anxious expression on his face, his eyes were red, it could be seen that he had cried.

Sitting up with her uninjured arm, Xueqiong squeezed out a smile and said, "I didn't cry, why are you crying?"

But Yun Cheng couldn't help crying anymore, shaking his head sadly: "Young master, it's all because of Yun Cheng's incompetence, unable to help you, this is the second day, what will you do in the future."

Enduring the pain in her wrist, Xue Qiong smiled and rubbed Yun Cheng's messy hair, soothing her softly:

"How can you blame me for this? Besides, I'm a monster, so I'm not so fragile. Before I was found by my mother, the days were much more tormented than this."

Suddenly noticing the bloodstain on Yun Cheng's neck, Xue Qiong's smile froze on her face: "Did they bully you?"

Yun Cheng hastily stretched out his hand to cover his neck, tried his best to smile and shook his head: "No."

"Look how stupid I am, master, your voice is hoarse, and this slave will pour water for you."

Avoiding the boy's worried eyes, Yun Cheng hastily ran out of the bedroom with the teapot.

Their master is pitiful enough, how could he make him feel more sad.

The wolf would come to collect blood every day, perhaps because he was afraid that he would die if he couldn't hold on to a bowl of blood every day, so he changed to taking half a bowl of blood every day.

The wound on Xueqiong's wrist never healed, and the embers never appeared again.

He also tried to take the initiative to find Ember, but there were two demon attendants guarding him outside the sleeping hall, so he couldn't get out at all.

Xue Qiong really wanted to see Ember again, and really wanted to find a chance to explain her identity clearly.

He didn't ask Ember to treat him well, but he just hoped that for the sake of saving him in the past, he would let Yun Cheng go, so that he would not be bullied again.

Another point is his selfishness, he misses the embers, day and night.

Although that person will certainly not miss him.

Nearly half a month later, Xueqiong finally found a chance to go out.

I just had dinner, but I don't know where there is trouble in the magic palace. The magic servant at the door is going to help, instead of two, there is one.

He couldn't beat two of them, but he could barely subdue one.

Xue Qiong successfully knocked out the demon attendant, and took the map that Yun Cheng had drawn in advance to find Ember's bedroom—the Shura Hall.

He sneaked into the courtyard quietly, and was wondering how to enter the hall, but found that there was no magic attendant in the courtyard at all.

But he still held his breath and concentrated, and walked lightly into the bedroom.

Xue Qiong just stood still in the room, and before she breathed a sigh of relief, a long sword emitting a cold light was hung on her neck.

"What are you here for?" In fact, the moment the boy appeared in the yard, Ember had already noticed something.

Facing Ember's sharp eyes, Xue Qiong was not nervous anymore, maybe because of being close to her inner alchemy, he even wanted to get closer.

He explained in a low voice: "I have something to tell you, but you haven't come, so I had no choice but to come to you."

Ember frowned slightly when she heard this, and said in a cold voice: "I have nothing to say to you, I told you to be quiet earlier, are you not afraid that I will kill you?"

Xue Qiong shook her head with a pale face and explained: "No, actually we met four years ago."

"At that time, someone bullied me. You drove away the bad guys and saved me. You also left me gold."

"Later when I saw you for the second time, you were seriously injured and your life was hanging by a thread. I saved you with the demon pill—"
