"It's good that it's bitter. I'm afraid it won't be bitter. I even specifically added a bit of yellow company." Xiao Yu laughed softly as he scooped another spoonful. "After all, if it isn't tough, how can I teach you a lesson?"

Mu Xiaoling knew that Xiao Yu was blaming her for being careless and being unable to notice the problem with the flower fragrance, which was why she was tricked by someone else.

She couldn't help but feel a little guilty. She was still going to protect Xiao Yu, but in the end she was let down first. Luckily, she didn't come for Xiao Yu, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Sorry."

"No need to apologize. Drink the medicine." Xiao Yu was smiling, but his hand did not hesitate as he fed them spoonfuls by spoonful.

Mu Xiaoling felt her heart tighten. Despite the pain from the medicine, she still forced herself to drink it one spoonful at a time. When the soup finally reached the bottom, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry, there's more in the pot." As Xiao Yu stood up, Mu Xiaoling's heart rose to her throat as she looked eagerly at Xiao Yu. "Xiao Yu …"

"Hmm?" Xiao Yu turned around and replied in a low voice. It was as if the voice came from his chest, and it was unspeakably confusing.

Mu Xiaoling's heart skipped a beat and she immediately shut her mouth. Just one pot...

Xiao Yu smiled helplessly as she returned the bowl to the table. Then, she walked towards the head of the bed and sat down once again. She playfully took out a candied fruit and stuffed it into Mu Xiaoling's mouth and scratched the tip of her nose, "I'm just teasing you."

"I was too careless this time." Mu Xiaoling shook her head as she felt the sweet and sour taste of the candied fruit slowly pressing down on the bitterness in her mouth. "If I had been more careful, I wouldn't have let everyone fall for my trick. Luckily, the other party didn't have any ill intentions."

Xiao Yu asked, "Have you found anything?"

Mu Xiaoling thought back to what she saw in her dream and could not help but let out a long sigh. "Lifei is also a pitiful person, but was used up by Lu Hai to save her life. In the end, she was killed for a martial skill.

For some reason, when Xiao Yu heard this, he was stunned. "What martial skill is it?"

Mu Xiaoling said, "Wrapping Ghost Steps."

Xiao Yu was stunned again, "It's actually him."

"You know him?" Mu Xiaoling was suspicious of Xiao Yu's expression. That person was from the ancient times, how could Xiao Yu recognize him?

"I've heard of it." Xiao Yu changed the topic, "Let's go see Imperial Consort Li later."

"Sure." Just as Mu Xiaoling was about to get off the bed, it seemed as though the body wasn't hers to begin with. She couldn't believe her eyes as her right hand reached out to prop up the column next to the bed.

Xiao Yu's hands were swift as he hugged his people and left the bed. In the next moment, the entire bed collapsed.

Mu Xiaoling was stunned. 'When did she get so much strength?'

"I don't know if this is good or bad for you." Xiao Yu sighed, "You don't know what happened to you in your dream, but you actually received an extremely powerful filling force. A large portion of that power was compressed within your sea of consciousness, while the rest was fused into your organs and flesh. This pain of cleansing your essence and marrow is now extremely slight."

What Xiao Yu didn't say was that he'd originally woken up Mu Xiaoling on the third day, but the next thing he knew was that he'd had a show to show off. Following that, Mu Xiaoling began washing the essence.

He knew better than anyone how painful it was to cleanse the marrow. It was as if someone had swallowed your soul in one mouth. He looked on helplessly as blood started to seep out from Mu Xiaoling's body.

He could only constantly wipe away the bloodstains and completely dispel the thought of waking her up. Right now, living in a dream was better than suffering outside. It wasn't until the sixth day that he finally came to an end.

The medicine he stewed wasn't just some soup, but also some medicinal herbs that could replenish his blood and stabilise his elemental energy. Only then did the pain increase.

Mu Xiaoling looked at Xiao Yu dumbfoundedly. Wash away one's marrow?

He didn't expect that so many things would happen after just a dream.

Xiao Yu hugged her without the slightest intention of letting her go, "You can't control your body right now, I'll carry you out."

"Hold me." Mu Xiaoling's face turned slightly tipsy. However, she felt a little embarrassed and was carried out of the room. It was just that she wasn't used to her current body. It wasn't realistic for her to walk out on her own.

"Alright." Xiao Yu replied gently before gently putting Mu Xiaoling down.

Just as Mu Xiaoling took a step forward, she missed her footing and almost fell to the ground.

Luckily, Xiao Yu was quick. He hooked his arm around Mu Xiaoling's and pulled her into his embrace before saying helplessly, "I think it's better if I carry you out."

Mu Xiaoling smiled awkwardly. This time, he didn't say that he was leaving and let Xiao Yu carry him out.

Meng Yifan was practicing his swordsmanship in the yard, while Lin Xiangdie was at his side watching the commotion while grabbing a handful of melon seeds. Hearing the commotion, she happily raised her hand. "Sister Mu, you're awake?"

Xiao Yu said in a low voice, "I didn't tell them that you were injected with water in your dreams, they haven't been in your room for the past few days."

He definitely couldn't let it be easily interrupted. His Ling Er trusted these people, but he, Xiao Yu, didn't believe it. Thus, in these few days, he was the only one who took care of these people, everyone else was chased out.

Mu Xiaoling nodded as Xiao Yu carried her to Lin Xiangdie.

Lin Xiangdie looked curiously at Mu Xiaoling. "Elder sister Mu, what's wrong with you? Why do you need big brother Xiao Yu to carry you?"

"Put me down." Mu Xiaoling wasn't a thin-skinned person. Lin Xiangdie was curious about her. No matter how thick her skin was, she wouldn't be able to resist. Besides, this solid ground should be fine, right?

"Fine." Even though Xiao Yu was reluctant, he still put her down.

This time, Mu Xiaoling was even more careful as she reduced her strength. Slowly, she approached Lin Xiangdie. "I just woke up. I'm still not feeling well. I'll be fine in a few days."

Lin Xiangdie did not beat around the bush after hearing Mu Xiaoling's words. She pulled on Mu Xiaoling's arm and said, "Sister Mu, come and sit."

However, after pulling twice, she felt as if she were pulling a huge rock. She couldn't help but be curious. Was the strength she used too small?

Mu Xiaoling embarrassedly coughed as she walked over. However, she didn't dare sit on the railing; instead, she sat on the stairs.

Lin Xiangdie thought she was thinking too much. She sat down beside Mu Xiaoling and handed half of the melon seeds to her. "Look, Yifan gege's new swordsmanship is really good."

Mu Xiaoling looked up and confirmed that she had not seen Meng Yifan's sword technique before.

Meng Yifan stood tall and straight, moving at times quickly and at times slowly. Occasionally, he would shake his sword, and although it was clearly a thrust from a sword, it suddenly became an attack from a sharp angle.
