Mei Wuzhi opened his eyes only slightly, and seeing Bai Susu coming, he called out weakly, "Susu...you're here."

Mei Wuzhi's voice was hoarse and low, intermittent, as if it would...

Bai Susu's eyes revealed anxiety and bitterness: "Wuzhi, why are you so badly injured? Are you poisoned?"

Mei Wuzhi's most serious injury was on his shoulder, with some puncture wounds and scratches on other parts of his body, but these were not fatal at all. Seeing his dying state, Bai Susu was worried that he was poisoned.

Mei Wuzhi remained silent. Bai Susu's eyelids were twitching and her heart was beating fast. She hurriedly checked his body. Compared to her nervousness, Bai Po and Lan You were calm. They stood by and stared at Mei Wuzhi with contempt.

Mei Wuzhi pretended to be very weak and uncomfortable, lying in her arms: "Susu, can you hug me, I am in pain, Susu, please don't leave me, okay?"

Bai Susu hugged him and comforted him softly, "I won't leave. I will stay with you. Wuzhi, you need to rest well and heal your injuries. You will definitely get better."

Mei Wuzhi lay in Bai Susu's arms with a triumphant smile on his face. A hint of cunning appeared in his eyes, and he looked at Bai Po and Lan You beside him with pride.

Bai Po watched from the side, unable to help but roll his eyes and grumble, "This fox is so cunning, using his injury to gain Su Su's company. His injury isn't serious, and he even took painkillers after the injection. With his physical strength and recovery speed, it shouldn't be a big deal. But now he's pretending to be dead. What a scheming fox."

Lan You also stared at Mei Wuzhi in silence. Bai Po was right. Mei Wuzhi's life was not in danger. With his scales and Susu's medicine, he would be fine in a few days.

This guy had been acting normal in front of them just now, but he became like this when Su Su came. He lowered his eyes and said silently, "Sly fox."

When Bai Susu heard the two beast husbands say this, she knew that Mei Wuzhi's injuries were not serious and his life was not in danger. The beast husbands were sensitive, and if Mei Wuzhi's injuries were serious and fatal, they would not have behaved like this.

She looked down at Mei Wuzhi, feeling somewhat helpless: "How could you lie to me?"

Mei Wuzhi smiled, resting his head on her shoulder, and said with a hint of coquettishness in his tone: "Because, I want Susu to have me in her heart right now. Seeing Susu worrying about me, I am very happy and blessed."

"Susu, I really like you."

Mei Wuzhi took the opportunity to confess his feelings. Bai Susu blushed and her heart beat fast. She pinched his ear and said, "You guy, no wonder everyone calls you a scheming fox."

Mei Wuzhi didn't care and nudged Bai Susu's neck: "Susu, I'm the most seriously injured today. I need you to accompany me."

"Okay." Bai Susu agreed, and Mei Wuzhi glanced at the other two beast husbands proudly.

Bai Po clenched his fists and said, "You stinky fox, you're so angry! If he weren't injured, I'd really want to beat him up."

Lan You: "Well, this fox is shameless. I want to beat him up too."

……

the next day.

After finishing her breakfast, Bai Susu packed some things and went to see A Yao. Lan You's scales could only prevent A Yao's injuries from worsening after being poisoned, but could not heal A Yao's face, and the beast wizard had no way either.

She tried to contact the system to ask if there was any way, but the system had not appeared since seven o'clock yesterday. Unable to contact the system, she decided to go see A Yao first.

The stone house where Ayao is——

Since A Yao's face was injured and disfigured yesterday, she has been staying indoors and hiding in the stone house, crying secretly. She looked at her face in the mirror and saw that after applying medicine, her face did not continue to rot, which reduced the pain.

But there is still a palm-sized black scar on her face, and there are black lines on her body. If the poison cannot be cured, her only fate will be death.

She curled up on the bed with her eyes red from crying. A strange power surged in her body, but she no longer had the mind to think about it.

She was the most beautiful female in the mermaid tribe. Now her face was ruined. She couldn't accept it and was so sad that her mood began to change.

[Don't cry, your face is already ruined. No matter how much you cry, it won't be restored.]

[Why not trade with me? I can help you recover and even look better.]

Suddenly, a voice appeared in his mind. A Yao was stunned. He looked around and asked cautiously: "Who is talking?"

She was the only orc in the room, so where did the female voice come from?

Then, the voice sounded again, the laughter was a little creepy, with a hint of bewitching meaning.

【I am you, you are me, it is your heart that is speaking. 】

"Who is it? Don't scare me!" A Yao was scared. She looked around and yelled in fear. The voice suddenly smiled strangely and did not respond to her.

"Ayao, what happened? Who's inside?" Wuji's voice came from outside the door. He knocked on the door anxiously, but got no response.

Ever since he knew that A Yao was injured, he had been guarding the door all night long, fearing that she would be in danger again. Just now, he heard A Yao's terrified scream inside, which made his heart suddenly tighten.

Seeing that Ayao didn't answer, he leaned against the door, his eyes filled with sorrow and pain: "Ayao, why don't you answer?"

A Yao curled up in bed, listening to Wu Ji's voice coming from the door. She did not respond, but Wu Ji, who was outside the door, heard the crying coming from inside. He begged, "A Yao, please open the door and let me see you, okay?"

A Yao thought for a long time before saying, "My face is ruined. I'm ugly now, a monster. I don't want to see you anymore, so don't come to see me anymore."

She desperately suppressed her breathing and tried to make her voice sound normal, but the pain in her heart was like a sharp knife, ruthlessly cutting her heart.

She choked up and said, "Wuji, please go away. I don't want to see you."

Wuji could hear the trembling in Ayao's voice and knew she was in great pain. He did not leave but stayed outside the door: "Ayao, I am incompetent and cannot help you."

"Even though your appearance is ruined, face doesn't mean everything. As long as you are alive, that's what matters most."

Ah Yao muttered, "But I care about my appearance. It's very important to me. I don't want to be ugly."

Wuji paused. He was tongue-tied and didn't know how to comfort Ayao to make her feel better. He continued, "Ayao, in my eyes, no matter what you look like, you are the most beautiful. You are not ugly, nor a monster, but the most beautiful mermaid."

A Yao clenched his fists: "You are lying."

"No, these are my true feelings. No matter what you become, you are still the most beautiful." Wuji was worried about Ayao. He paced at the door, his palms sweating. "Ayao, come out and see me, let me see you. I am really worried about you."

"I swear by the Beast God, if I lie, I will die a miserable death."

Wuji couldn't wait for Ayao's reply. He was worried about her situation and afraid that she would become depressed, so he prepared to break in. Ayao heard the noise and hurriedly got out of bed and went to the door. She pressed the door shut and whispered, "What are you doing?"

"You are not allowed to come in without my permission!"
