Chapter 1535: Chapter 1357: A Stormy Night in Jianghu

"Wait, where’s Axian’s medicine?" Xia Dabao asked.

Yun Xiao took out a purse from his bag and tossed it towards Xia Dabao. She wasn’t prepared and nearly got hit in the head, which made her curse out, "Purple-haired freak, can’t you give a warning before you throw something?"

"I am invisible, a warning would be the same, and besides, I am not a purple-haired freak," Yun Xiao said.

"If you’re invisible, then what does it matter to you what I call you? I like calling you a purple-haired freak, so that’s what you are," Xia Dabao said as she opened the purse.

The purse was exquisitely embroidered, black, with needlework similar to the local clothing patterns and still warm with Yun Xiao’s body heat.

Inside were several pills. Xia Dabao counted, "How come there are only seven?"

"This is a seven-day supply. After each blood draw, the Clan Chief will provide you with medicine," Yun Xiao explained, but as soon as he finished speaking, he turned his head away, no longer looking at Xia Dabao.

"Is the Clan Chief afraid I’ll run away? Hmph, a Clan Chief that high and mighty but so petty-minded, no wonder his subordinates are all odd," Xia Dabao snorted and quickly gave Axian a pill.

Meanwhile, Hong Yan said to Yun Xiao, "Envoy Yun, I have completed my blood collection task and will take my leave now."

"Okay!" Yun Xiao replied, but he immediately asked Hong Yan, "By the way, where were you last night?"

"Envoy Yun, the mute servant tending to my sister came to inform me that my sister’s condition had worsened. I spent the night with her down the mountain," Hong Yan replied flawlessly.

"Mute? You sure know how to pick them," the corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth lifted slightly.

"If Envoy Yun has something to say, just say it," Hong Yan was always straightforward.

"I have nothing more to say. I was just asking. The Clan Chief is waiting for the blood. Better take it to him quickly," Yun Xiao said indifferently.

Hong Yan immediately turned and left, and soon disappeared.

Xia Dabao had given Axian the medicine, and after taking it, he woke up for a while, feeling the unfamiliar surroundings, he asked, "Sister, where are we?"

"We are in the Chixia Clan, a place in the Southern Zhao Nation," Xia Dabao spoke to Axian with tenderness.

He was so sick that if possible, Xia Dabao would have gladly given him her own heart.

"What about father and mother?" Axian asked again.

"Father and mother have some business to take care of, they asked your sister to stay here with you," after speaking, Xia Dabao hugged Axian in her arms, "I’m here with you, sister will protect you, rest assured."

"Sister... Axian is so tired," Axian’s eyelids grew heavy, and he seemed about to fall asleep again.

"Yeah, sister knows. If you’re tired, go ahead and sleep for a bit. When the food is ready, sister will feed you," Xia Dabao stroked Axian’s head.

"Then... sing me a tune, the one mother often hums," Axian requested.

"Okay, I’ll sing ’Two Little Donkeys’ for you. I have a little donkey that I never ride. One day I rode it to the market..." Xia Dabao began to hum, and Axian slowly drifted off to sleep.

Yun Xiao had been watching Xia Dabao the whole time.

She was really tender when coaxing Axian to sleep, her eyes filled with loving care.

Just like...

No wonder that time, when he was drunk, he couldn’t help but hold her and refused to let go. Now, it seemed it was indeed because of the motherly affection she exuded.
