Chapter 746: Chapter 519: The Ice Queen Applies Medicine Personally
On Lu Qingxue’s personal spaceship, Mu Fan was sitting upright on the sofa inside the cabin.
Because of the burn on his back, he couldn’t lounge comfortably on the sofa like before but sat with an erect posture, looking quite serious, and even straighter than Lu Qingxue sitting opposite him.
However, since he had come aboard, those clear and pure beautiful eyes had been quietly observing him, which made Mu Fan feel quite pressured psychologically.
Why did it feel like undergoing special training?
Mu Fan felt awkward all over, so he picked up the water cup in front of him and started drinking water desperately.
After the spaceship ascended and stabilized, those gentle and watery eyes finally moved away from Mu Fan.
“Cabinet elder, bring me my Ice Orchid Ointment.”
Lu Qingxue pressed a hidden button beside the sofa and spoke into the air.
A moment later, an old butler with a puzzled look stood at the cabin door, knocking.
He was holding a small and exquisite crystal container in his hands, something that if seen by others, would be worth quite a fortune.
It was Cold Crystal from the Outer Domain Galaxy, a high-grade material for jewelry. A Cold Crystal ring could sell for more than five hundred thousand Star Coins.
And now this half-a-fist-sized premium Cold Crystal had been made into a bottle.
“Miss Qingxue, are you injured?”
The old butler, seeing Lu Qingxue at the door, had deep worry in his eyes.
“No need to overthink.”
Lu Qingxue took the crystal container as usual, and in the instant she turned around, she said indifferently, “This is the last time, if you report my whereabouts again without my permission, you can just go back to the Lu Family and await orders.”
The butler and another old man not far behind him both broke out in a cold sweat simultaneously.
This was the first time Lu Qingxue had spoken in such an indifferent tone and with such harsh words.
It seemed she had become quite angry that the two had revealed her whereabouts.
Lu Qingxue’s disposition had always been quiet and indifferent, and she didn’t inquire much about family affairs, but if she really spoke out, then she would surely carry out her words.
If the two were sent back by Lu Qingxue to wait under the elder council of the Lu Family, the rest of their lives would probably not be very comfortable.
Thinking of this, the two butlers were full of apprehension.
However, all Lu Qingxue left for them was her back and the closed cabin door.
Holding the delicate crystal bottle, Lu Qingxue walked with her long and straight legs to where Mu Fan was. This froze Mu Fan in the act of drinking water, and he slowly looked up at the woman with picturesque features.
“What’s wrong?”
“This is a proprietary medicine of the Snow Clan, the Ice Orchid Ointment, which is very effective for burns and skin repair,” Lu Qingxue spoke calmly. She didn’t mention that the value of the Ice Orchid Ointment was already enough to exchange for half of a high-class Floating Car.
It was a secret medicine passed down among the true heirs of the Snow Clan, and even on the black market, people had sought it with three times the price in heavy gold to no avail.
“It smells good.”
Lu Qingxue unscrewed the cap, and a fragrance that was refreshing and penetrating filled Mu Fan’s nose. He couldn’t help but flare his nostrils a few times and then looked at Lu Qingxue, asking, “Now?”
“Yes, I’ll apply it for you.”
Lu Qingxue nodded her head, her voice calm.
Mu Fan hesitated for a moment, shaking his head, “No need, I have a strong recovery ability.”
In truth, his wound on the back was probably not very pleasing to look at. He didn’t want the other to see it too clearly while applying the ointment, fearing it would make Senior Sister feel as if she owed him a great favor.
Under such circumstances, it was his turn to lend a hand.
As far as Mu Fan was concerned, as long as he didn’t die, it wasn’t really an issue.
“Take it off.”
“What?”
“Take your clothes off, I’ll put the ointment on for you,” Lu Qingxue said with utmost seriousness.
Mu Fan was stunned, but the cool gaze of the senior sister opposite him was very serious, definitely not joking.
“Alright.”
Mu Fan sighed, slowly undressed, and then his perfect muscular lines came into Lu Qingxue’s view.
As he took off the heavy vest again and turned around,
Lu Qingxue subconsciously bit her teeth.
Where the white vest had hidden, there were no burn marks, but various scars instead.
Beyond the range of the vest, his shoulders, arms, and the area below his neck were a bloody mess, with large and small yellow blisters that looked incredibly terrifying.
This was a sign of burns that had reached the dermis layer, but thankfully, the fat and muscle underneath the skin were not damaged.
Lu Qingxue reached out a finger and gently touched it, and Mu Fan’s back reflexively tensed.
“Does it hurt?” Lu Qingxue asked softly. She didn’t know what she was feeling inside, but her chest felt very oppressive. Having been used to being on her own since childhood, this was the first time anyone had stood in front of her to protect her.
“It doesn’t hurt, this scratch…heh, it’s nothing much.”
Mu Fan chuckled softly.
Lu Qingxue did not speak further, instead focusing on the grim and terrifying wounds before her.
Her delicate fingers dipped into the crystal bottle, and then the suddenly rich fragrance spread through the air as her fingertips withdrew.
“Endure it for a bit.”
Lu Qingxue’s fingers danced lightly behind Mu Fan.
The icy touch on his hot wounds as the Ice Orchid Ointment was spread thin,
Nobody knew that the Swordsmanship Flower of Dingchuan Academy and the Snow Clan’s Lu Family, with her cold beauty and peerless demeanor, Lu Qingxue, was now attentively applying ointment to a man.
Mu Fan couldn’t see the translucent Ice Orchid Ointment penetrating his skin upon contact, nor could he see the hint of red on the cool goddess’s ear tips behind him.
He only felt a slight coolness on the burning wounds on his back.
Then, that coolness was spreading inside his body, and the burning wounds strangely stopped hurting.
The sensation was similar to the coldness of Ghost Energy, but even gentler, and soon a tickling sensation began to emerge.
Mu Fan was very familiar with this feeling; it was a sign that the wounds were starting to heal.
Such an effect!
After most of the Ice Orchid Ointment in the crystal bottle was gone, Lu Qingxue finally stopped.
However, when she retracted her hands, a murmur from Lu Qingxue, almost like talking to herself, quietly reached him:
“I’m sorry, Mu Fan.”
“I told you it’s nothing,” Mu Fan said, puzzled. He felt that today the senior sister was acting a bit strange.
“It’s not that, it’s about my taking you to the exchange meeting. I concealed some truths, I actually…”
Mu Fan grinned, waved his hand, and directly interrupted Lu Qingxue’s words.
Turning around, he saw the regret in the cool figure’s eyes and shook his head seriously, saying:
“You misunderstood. Since I agreed to help, I will do it regardless of the reasons or the outcome.”
This was Mu Fan!
To repay kindness tenfold, and avenge grievances the same way.
Growing up in a world where the strong prey on the weak, there weren’t many people who were kind to him, and he cherished each one immensely.
“Thank you!”
Hearing that formal and solemn thanks, Mu Fan smiled and shook his head.
All understanding and tolerance were hidden in the gaze exchanged between the two.
