Chapter 21 The Herbalist is Charming (18)

The woman closed her eyes, crossed her arms over her chest, and curled herself up into a ball, a very insecure posture.

Qingli: "Master, Brother Meng, don't you want Li'er anymore?"

Meng Yi: "Li Li, Li Li, are you still cold?"

Meng Yi: "It still hurts too much, why are you shaking?"

Meng Yi asked several times, but no one responded. He added more wood to the fire, and it burned even brighter.

Meng Yi looked at Qingli. Her face was covered with tear marks, her little face was wrinkled, and her lips were pale, which made Meng Yi feel uncomfortable.

Meng Yi slowly approached Li Li, carefully avoiding the wound on her lower back, held her in his arms, and comforted her gently.

Meng Yi: "Li'er, don't cry, don't cry, Brother Meng is with you!"

Meng Yi: "Li'er, be good. You'll be fine after a good sleep. You won't feel cold if Brother Meng holds you."

Only when Meng Yi hugged her did he truly feel her fragility. He couldn't imagine how she had brought him back from the bamboo forest that day. Her home was halfway up the mountain, and it was a long walk up the mountain.

He was much heavier than she was, and he was tall and strong. It would have been difficult for a small woman to carry him back. He was also covered in wounds, with arrows in his body, and he carried a sword with him. It was obvious that he was not an ordinary citizen.

He gently coaxed Li Li to sleep. He wondered if she had hesitated when she rescued him? Was she frightened by the blood all over him? Did she ever consider that someone like him would bring her trouble?

But she still saved him from this big trouble.

After waking up, he was filled with anger at being plotted against by Renault. He had been polite to her on the first day, but after only one day, he was eager to leave her house and go back to tell his father what had happened. However, he was too seriously injured and was determined to be strong. He ignored her and insisted on leaving.

Meng Yi: "You stopped me, and I used my sword to force you to move aside, but... "

Meng Yi: "I fainted as soon as I walked out the door. You had to work hard to move me back to bed."

Meng Yi: "I'm such a jerk! I didn't even notice you were injured trying to get me back to the bamboo house."

Meng Yi: "You worked tirelessly to collect herbs for me, prepare medicinal meals for me, and take care of my food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. I had no money, but a fine jade pendant, and you were reluctant to pawn my things. You collected herbs and sold them yourself, and even made me new clothes."

Meng Yi: "What a little fool!"

Meng Yi: "Li'er, I, Meng Yi, owe you. I'm sorry, Li'er. Please forgive me for being so ungrateful before, causing you so much trouble, and now putting you in this situation."

The woman in his arms seemed to feel the warmth, slowly took her hands away from her chest, and gently hugged the man's waist.

She finally stopped crying, stopped mumbling, and slept soundly.

Meng Yi: "Good Li'er, sleep well. I'll be watching over you."

The firelight reflected on Meng Yi's face, adding a touch of masculine spirit to his handsome features. He held the woman in his arms and closed his eyes tiredly.

As the sky darkened and the night deepened, the ground beneath the cliff was completely dark, with only a faint flicker of light from the cave...

In an inn more than ten miles away, Renault was half lying on the couch, listening to his subordinates' reports.

Renault: "How is it? Has the news spread?"

Passerby A: "Master, the news has spread. Within two days, everyone in the martial arts world will know that Meng Yi was killed."

Renault: "Is everything settled? Don't let it get back to us."

Passerby A: "Don't worry, Hall Master. No matter how much we investigate, we can only find the Yidao Sect. What does Meng Yi's death have to do with our Leihu Hall?"

Renault: "Very good. It's a pity that the Seven Swords Manual, such a great sword manual, has to disappear with Meng Yi's death."

Passerby A: "Master, why didn't we capture Meng Yi and force him to hand over the secret manual?"

Renault: "This Meng Yi burned the sword manual a long time ago and memorized it all in his head. He is unyielding and has killed so many of us. Even the beauty died for him. Now that the beauty is dead, he will definitely not give us the secret manual."

Renault: "That's silly, but if you have the green mountains, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood. If it were me, I would have run away long ago, and I would have taken a burden with me."

Renault: "I lost my little beauty!"

Passerby A: "Even a hero can't resist the temptation of a beautiful woman!"

Renault: “Hmm?”

Renault: “You mean he’s a hero?”

Passerby A: "Of course not! Damn it! It was just a slip of the tongue. The master is the real hero! No one in the world can compare to you!"

Passerby A: "But... if Meng Yi dies, will the higher-ups blame us?"

Renault's smile faded a bit. That man was not easy to fool. Before the big thing was accomplished, they had to keep a low profile! That man was using them as pawns. One day, Renault would trample them under his feet!
