We waited in the living room for around half an hour before Xia Mingyuan and Feng Tianyu finally came in. I immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
"You're finally back. You're waiting for me to die."
Seeing my relieved look, Feng Tian Yu thought that something had happened at home. He raised his head to look around and found that nothing was amiss.
"You're waiting for us? "What for?"
I choked on his words. I can't possibly say that the atmosphere here is too awkward, waiting for them to come back and ease the awkwardness, right?
"When I woke up, I didn't see you and Master. I thought something had happened when you were going to get the medicine."
Feng Tian Yu felt that there was something wrong with my words. He frowned as he looked at me, but he didn't say anything. I guiltily drank a mouthful of water, and no longer looked at him.
Xia Mingyuan looked at the three of us in the living room and knew what I was thinking, but it wasn't easy to tell. He could only pass the pill in his pocket to me.
"This is a medicine concocted by me and Feng Tian Yu. You should go back to your body first and consume it."
I took the medicine and nodded. I didn't say anything else and went straight back to my room to lie in my body.
I thought that I would be able to recover my soul as soon as I lay down, but it was already late in the morning when I woke up.
"S..."
I wanted to prop myself up and get out, but when I tried, I felt a pain in my injured arm.
"Looks like I'll have to rest for a while longer."
I rolled down my sleeves and saw the place where I had been injured. The wound was already scabbed, red and black intersected, making it look terrifying.
"Such a big wound, I hope it won't leave such a big scar."
I looked at the medicine in my hand, slowly propped myself up, put on my shoes and went to the living room.
Xia Mingyuan and the rest should have been waiting for me in the living room. They had been looking at my room the entire time, so when I walked out of the room, I saw their anxious gazes.
"I reckon that you woke up at this time. I had Zhou Xi boil some porridge for you. Do you want some?"
Xia Ming saw that my face was still as pale as snow, and he knew that I had lost too much blood from my wounds and I couldn't keep up with my diet while healing my wounds, so I became like this.
"Can you sleep more soundly this time? In the past, you used to complain to me in the Underworld that you didn't have a bed at home. "
I rolled my eyes at Feng Tian Yu and ignored him. I slowly walked to the chair and sat down.
"I'm still not very hungry right now. Master, I think we should eat more later. Should I take some medicine now?"
When Xia Mingyuan saw my expression, he didn't feel reassured at all. In the end, he went to the kitchen and brought me a bowl of porridge.
"Xiao Yin, it's better if you eat a little. If you take any medicine later, you might not have the mood to eat anymore."
Seeing how serious Xia Mingyuan's words were, and how Chu Weilan also nodded his head in agreement, Chu Tianjiao guessed that the medicinal effect was even more terrifying than that of the Ghost Doctor. He hurriedly took the bowl of porridge and began to eat.
"How can you just eat congee? Did she have a taboo? "If you don't have any dishes at home, how about I cook two dishes for her?"
I had porridge in my mouth, but was unable to speak. I hastily waved my hand, indicating that Zhou Xi didn't need to cook for me anymore. He didn't expect that Feng Tian Yu would actually nod at Zhou Xi.
"Calm down, I don't want any meat. Stir in two eggs or some vegetables, and you can have less oil and less salt."
When Zhou Xi heard this, he felt that the food was pretty much the same as those eaten by the sick and injured. After he figured out what he meant, he went straight to the kitchen to start working.
"There's no need. I just want to eat plain porridge. Now that you're cooking, why are you making Xi Xi busy?"
Feng Tian Yu looked at me a little unhappily. He probably thought that I didn't recognize my good intentions and that the effect of the soul devouring medicine was extremely strong. Right now, if I don't eat something better, I'll solidify my body.
"For your own good, you just listen. I won't hurt you!"
Seeing his somewhat angry expression, Xia Mingyuan and Chu Weiran didn't stop Zhou Xixi, and they didn't say anything more. Indeed, he was thinking for my sake.
After Zhou Xi entered the kitchen, he said three times in a row, telling me to eat more slowly. I had to eat some food, so I didn't want to fill my stomach right now.
"Alright, let's try it then. An egg and a cabbage are all cooked in strict accordance with his instructions. There's less oil and less salt. Little Yin, you must eat more!"
Originally, I should have been enjoying my meal, but these few people were all staring at me and wanted me to eat more. Thus, I didn't have any appetite and could only casually take two bites to stop eating.
"How can you eat this much? "It hasn't been as long as I've been cooking. How about you eat a little more for me to fill the bowl with porridge?"
When Feng Tian Yu and the rest saw that I had only eaten one bowl and was trying to persuade me against it, I wasn't moved at all. No matter what, I couldn't eat the second bowl.
Xia Ming saw my expression and knew that they were probably pushing me too hard. Sighing, he poured a cup of water for me.
"Since you don't want to eat anymore, then drink up the medicine. Little Yin, the effects are extremely intense. You must be mentally prepared."
I thought about it, it shouldn't be that much more terrifying than the Ghost Doctor. I'm already used to the Ghost Doctor's medicine, I should be able to endure this medicine.
Water and I swallowed the medicine. At first, we didn't feel anything, but when I saw them looking at me eagerly, I felt that it was a little funny.
"This medicine isn't as strong as the Ghost Doctor's medicine …" "Puff …"
Before I could finish my sentence, I spat out a mouthful of blood without any warning and fell to the ground. Feng Tian Yu immediately moved to my side to support me. When he saw that I was only able to spit out a mouthful of blood, he feared that the situation would become even worse.
"Little Yin!"
Zhou Xi was overjoyed to see that a fine person suddenly vomited blood. He was also extremely frightened and hurriedly used a piece of paper to wipe the blood from my mouth.
She hadn't finished wiping it off when a second mouthful of blood spouted out. Xia Mingyuan and the others looked at me with a paler face, unable to do anything about it. They were so anxious that their foreheads were covered in sweat.
"Master …" How could this be? "
As soon as I spat out two mouthfuls of blood, I felt my body begin to spin, as if something were tugging at my soul.
"Xiao Yin, I believe they've already told you this. Only when your body is in absolute weakness can you get rid of that soul. Blood is the essence energy of the human body, and this is the only way to achieve this goal."
I closed my eyes in discomfort. I didn't expect them to mean that when they said they were weak. Why did they give me medicine? I might as well give him a cut to let him bleed, and save him a lot of medicinal herbs.
