The Demon Soldier frowned. "What do you mean by delivering meals..." 0
 
Another Demon Soldier replied, "You're talking about Dongfang Yan, right? He got into a fight." 0
 
My expression changed, and I hurried back inside. 0
 
Murong Xue said with displeasure, "You went to find that fool again?" 0
 
I nodded. 0
 
Once back in the room, Murong Xue sarcastically remarked, "So, you've really fallen for a lowly slave?" 0
 
"Can't you see the situation we're in? You still have time for romance." 0
 
I calmly sipped my tea. "You don't understand; this is my beauty strategy." 0
 
Murong Xue laughed in anger. "Then take your time with your beauty strategy. Let's see if you can actually win him over as your guard." 0
 
"Just don't be surprised if Demon King Your Highness takes a liking to you; then you'll know what it means to cry." 0
 
I replied nonchalantly, "What if I told you that Dongfang Yan could help you contact the South Sea Dragon King?" 0
 
Murong Xue's eyes lit up. "Really?" 0
 
"Of course it's true. I've observed him; every fifteenth of the month, Dongfang Yan goes out." 0
 
"He's going out to buy things for Demon King's Hall, but he stays out too long. There must be something suspicious going on." 0
 
Murong Xue was thrilled. "Then let's hurry and explain the situation to him so he can help me contact the South Sea Dragon King." 0
 
 
“Dongfang Yan is just a slave. If you give him some money, he’ll definitely be happy.” 0
 
I looked at Murong Xue with a half-smile. “Why should I help you contact the South Sea Dragon King?” 0
 
Murong Xue was taken aback. “Murong Yi, what do you mean?” 0
 
I chuckled softly. “What I mean is, once the deal is done, you need to buy Dongfang Yan’s freedom.” 0
 
“And no harm should come to him.” 0
 
Murong Xue nodded. “Alright, I promise you.” 0
 
The shadows on the steps were blocked, and I looked up to see Dongfang Yan. 0
 
He didn’t look at me; he walked past me without a word. 0
 
I lowered my head again until Dongfang Yan passed by once more. 0
 
“Dongfang Yan.” I called out to him. 0
 
He stopped and turned to walk towards me. 0
 
Only then did I notice the bruise on his leg. 0
 
“Come inside with me; I’ll apply some medicine for you.” 0
 
Without waiting for a response, I pulled him into the room. 0
 
 
I went to get the medicine box and could feel his gaze on me. 0
 
But when I looked up, he was staring at my feet. 0
 
I took out the medicine box and handed him a pair of shoes and socks. 0
 
"Take off your shoes and sit on the chair." 0
 
His feet were clean, but his ankles were swollen and bruised. 0
 
I dissolved the Black Gold Discontinuity Pill in water, applied it to his injuries, and began to massage. 0
 
He stiffened for a moment but quickly relaxed. 0
 
I didn't dare apply too much pressure, but the medicine took effect quickly, causing him to tense up in pain. 0
 
When I looked up at his expression, I noticed his ears had turned red. 0
 
I couldn't help but chuckle to myself. 0
 
"Is there anywhere else that hurts?" I asked. 0
 
He shook his head. "No." 0
 
Yet, his hand was covering his stomach. 0
 
I suddenly understood; this little tsundere was being contradictory. 0
 
 
"Lift your shirt, let me take a look." 0
 
"There's really nothing..." Before he could finish, he let out a muffled groan, clearly in pain. 0
 
Seizing the opportunity, I lifted his shirt, revealing tight abdominal muscles before my eyes. 0
 
I had no time to admire; his torso was covered in bruises, clearly from being kicked several times. 0
 
I poured some medicinal oil onto the bruises and began to gently rub it in. 0
 
Just then, the half-open door was pushed open. 0
 
Murong Xue stood at the entrance, staring at Dongfang Yan and me, her eyes wide with surprise. 0
 
She peered into the room and asked mysteriously, "What are you two... doing?" 0
 
"Nothing much," I pointed to the medicine box beside me. "Just applying some medicine." 0
 
Her face showed disappointment, as if she had hoped for something more between Dongfang Yan and me. 0
