Chapter 253: Spitting Saliva
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai took the oil lamp from his hand, then handed him the small knife she was holding.
He took the knife and made a cut on his left arm.
The wound was as deep as Xiaomai’s, and blood seeped out.
He bent down to lick his wound, just as he had done for Xiaomai.
“Alright, just wait.” He raised his head after licking the wound and subconsciously looked at Xiaomai, who was standing opposite him.
Xiaomai was watching him closely.
Her peony-shaped eyes were shimmering, never blinking as they stared at him.
He felt a sudden jolt in his chest as if he had been hit by something, which made him halt his breath.
His lips pressed into a line, his gaze dropped quickly.
Xiaomai in front of him was distractingly beautiful.
Seeing him like this, Xiaomai also felt somewhat ill at ease.
She coughed twice, raising the oil lamp to her own arm.
“Huh?” Her eyes widened in surprise.
Upon hearing her voice, he immediately looked over.
The wound that was just bleeding and peeling had now formed a scab.
The vivid red of the scab against her pale skin somehow reminded him of red plum blossoms blooming in a snowy field in winter.
What an odd thought.
He pursed his lips, hurriedly gathering his scattered thoughts, and looked down at his own arm.
It was still bleeding.
He had just licked the blood clean from the wound, but now more blood was seeping out.
“Huh? Your wound hasn’t healed yet.” Xiaomai also looked over, surprise flashing across her face as she saw he was still bleeding.
“Why does your saliva doesn’t work on your wound?”
He stayed silent.
Since childhood, he had experienced many injuries due to martial arts practice, but his wounds always healed at a normal pace, he never experienced such instant scabbing before.
The one with the Divine Power was Xiaomai, not him.
“Your saliva doesn’t work on your wounds, but it does on mine. Um… Should I lick your wound for you? Maybe my saliva will work on your wound?” Xiaomai thought for a moment, and proposed her theory.
May 1 lick it for you?
Those five words made him instantly stiffen.
He held his breath. His dark eyes widened incredulously as he stared at Xiaomai.
“Come on.” Xiaomai motioned him to extend his arm towards her.
“No need.” He snapped back to reality and quickly retreated two steps back, “Blood taste is terrible.”
“But you swallowed it anyway.”
“I am a man, it doesn’t matter to me. But you, being a lady, it’s not proper.” He hesitated for a moment, then put the small knife back between his legs. He took a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the blood clean from the wound. Then, he lifted his arm up to Xiaomai, “You…just spit on the wound.”
If Xiaomai actually acted on her words, he felt that he would surely blush to his core!
“You want me to spit on your wound? That’s distasteful.” Xiaomai frowned.
“Um… I haven’t bathed in more than ten days, I’m dirty.” His mind quickly spun for another excuse.
Xiaomai”…”
His clothes always carried the scent of soapberries, so did his hair!
How could he have not bathed in over ten days!
“Really, just spit on it.” He said and stretched his arm forward once again towards Xiaomai.
Xiaomai”…”
Her mouth twitched and she reluctantly spat on his wound.
He spread the saliva evenly around the wound with his fingers.
Xiaomai”…”
So strange…
She had really just spat on it.
