“Chen Fan, don't scare me!”
“Say something!”
Xia Bingqing was growing impatient, unsure what to do.
She paced back and forth.
After a while, Chen Fan finally spoke, “Water… I need water!”
Hearing him, Xia Bingqing snapped back to reality and quickly poured water on Chen Fan.
The next second, a sizzling sound ensued, as if water had been poured onto a scorching hot pan, instantly turning into steam.
Xia Bingqing’s eyes widened in alarm, “This…”
Chen Fan said stiffly, “No… not enough, keep going!”
Physical cooling.
Xia Bingqing continued.
She also took some ice cubes from the refrigerator and piled them around Chen Fan.
But the result was that all the ice cubes turned into water at that moment.
Chen Fan was still flushed and feverish.
He looked like he was about to burn up completely.
Xia Bingqing anxiously asked, “What else… what else do you need me to do?”
“Chen Fan, don’t scare me!”
“Just tell me if you need anything!”
Chen Fan ignored her.
He appeared to have lost all consciousness.
Seeing the scene before her, Xia Bingqing felt her heart bleed. She never expected something like this to happen.
Wasn’t he a master?
How… how could he be like this?
She was so worried about Chen Fan that she decided to throw caution to the wind.
She hugged Chen Fan tightly.
Before long, the fiery energy within Chen Fan surged.
And so, two hours passed…
Chen Fan’s complexion returned to normal.
As for Xia Bingqing, she was like a drowned rat, completely drenched.
Her whole body ached, as if she had been severely beaten.
She stared blankly at the ceiling, realizing that she had somehow become Chen Fan’s person.
This…
She had always wanted to be Chen Fan’s person, but she never imagined that the day would come so abruptly!
Damn it!
Chen Fan opened his eyes and saw Xia Bingqing beside him, understanding everything.
He now understood Old Man Hua’s intentions.
He sighed inwardly.
Was it destiny, or was it all within Old Man Hua’s calculations?
If he hadn't had Xia Bingqing’s innate ice constitution to complement the Fire Spirit Ganoderma he was refining, he would have likely had his meridians burnt by the surging power, turning him into a pile of dry bones…
As for Xia Bingqing’s ailments, after being nourished by the potent fire spirit of the Fire Spirit Ganoderma, they were also cleared.
The two of them, in a sense, complemented each other!
“You’re awake?” Xia Bingqing spoke, giving Chen Fan a somewhat displeased sideways glance.
Chen Fan looked at the beautiful woman before him, who was like a lotus emerging from water, and nodded, “Mm… I’m awake. Don’t worry, I will definitely be responsible for you!”
Xia Bingqing snorted coldly, “Now you know about responsibility? What were you doing before?”
Chen Fan coughed twice, “You mean I don’t need to be responsible?”
Upon hearing this, Xia Bingqing’s beautiful eyes widened instantly, “Chen Fan, what are you thinking, you jerk? You don’t want to be responsible? Do you think there’s such a good thing in this world?”
“Damn it, what is this nonsense!”
Chen Fan gave an embarrassed smile and nodded, “You said it yourself!”
“Go to hell!” Xia Bingqing raised her hand and punched Chen Fan in the chest.
Chen Fan chuckled and casually added, “Okay… okay, don’t worry, I will definitely take responsibility for you to the end!”
“If it weren’t for you this time, I probably wouldn’t have survived!”
“That dramatic?” Xia Bingqing looked surprised.
Chen Fan nodded, “That’s how dramatic it was…”
He didn’t explain further.
Xia Bingqing didn’t ask either; the two of them seemed to have a tacit understanding…
