As Liu Buli's words fell, Shen Muzhi's expression immediately froze.
He first looked at Liu Buli, then turned to look at You Siqi beside him. Seeing that You Siqi had no intention of refuting, Shen Muzhi knew that he had implicitly agreed with Liu Buli's statement.
Taking a few deep breaths, Shen Muzhi raised his hand and rubbed his face vigorously. When he lowered it, his already somewhat stiff expression returned to normal.
He even calmly smiled at You Siqi and slowly said, "If life were a smooth path, one would miss out on much of the scenery along the way. I don't think a little challenge is a bad thing. It makes things more exciting."
Liu Buli rolled his eyes. "Just keep spoiling him."
Shen Muzhi smiled indifferently, shrugging. "Aren't you the same? I haven't seen you be particularly strict with Wuming, have I?"
Hearing this response, Liu Buli raised an eyebrow slightly.
The two exchanged a look, and finally, they both burst into laughter.
After all, this was the person they had fallen for, and they were the ones who fell first. If they didn't dote on each other, what else could they do?
Shen Muzhi had too many injuries. To protect You Siqi and prevent him from getting hurt, he often used his own body to block attacks that he couldn't dodge in time. Over time, his body became covered in more and more wounds. He hadn't felt them during the fight, but now that it was over, the heart-wrenching pain spread throughout him.
You Siqi watched from the side, his heart aching. He hesitated and asked Shen Muzhi, "Shall I help you apply some medicine?"
Shen Muzhi was stunned.
This was, of course, more than he could have wished for.
He simply handed all the ointment he was holding to You Siqi, relaxed his body, and smiled at You Siqi. "I'm too badly injured. It even hurts to lift my arm now. If you don't mind, would you apply all these medicinal salves to me?"
You Siqi, of course, would not refuse.
Shen Muzhi removed his clothes, revealing his firm muscles. Since it was improper for a man and woman to be too intimate, Yun Xiang said he would wander around and left the spot first.
Liu Buli, on the other hand, stood with his arms crossed, completely unconcerned. He stared intently at Shen Muzhi's muscles, making the latter feel uncomfortable. He looked up at Lu Wuming and said, "Wuming, can you take your master away?"
Lu Wuming gritted his teeth in frustration.
He had wanted to do that for a long time!
He knew very well that Liu Buli was very satisfied with the physique of this male protagonist, Shen Muzhi. Therefore, while Liu Buli was admiring him, he dared not do anything to stop him.
He was merely contemplating in his mind how to secretly kill Shen Muzhi without Liu Buli finding out, when Shen Muzhi himself spoke up. It seemed he cared about his own life quite a bit...
Lu Wuming cast a sinister glance at Shen Muzhi, then put his arm around Liu Buli's waist and forcibly turned him away.
Liu Buli was still a bit reluctant, grumbling, "Wait a minute, what's the rush? There are no other monsters around here anyway, and Physician Shen is still healing. If he needs our help with anything, wouldn't it be bad if we just left?"
Lu Wuming said nothing.
His expression only grew darker.
Shen Muzhi, hearing this, almost choked on his own spit.
He forced out a smile, looked in Liu Buli's direction, and said earnestly, "Daoist Liu, if you truly care about me, then I suggest you first go find where that book is. Once you find it, you can train properly with your disciple and make him happy. Perhaps then I might live a few more years."
