Chapter 565: Chapter 565 Parting 3 Chapter 565: Chapter 565 Parting 3 At this point in time, that strange poison had not been neutralized.

That kind of pain was heart-wrenching and lung-splitting, as if a vehicle had rolled over her and then back again.

“Ugh… Ah…” She groaned, then collapsed unconsciously to the ground.

Ji Luochen was stunned for a moment when he saw the girl fall.

He took a few steps forward, reached out his hand, and caught the falling girl, asking in a low voice, “What’s wrong?”

“It hurts… It hurts so much…” Mu Lingyun endured her pain, clenched her fists tightly, and squeezed out a few words in a muffled voice.

Seeing the girl’s pale lips, unceasing perspiration on her forehead, and whitened knuckles from her clenched fists, Ji Luochen knew she was truly enduring tremendous pain.

“Where does it hurt?” he continued to ask.

“My whole body… It all hurts so much… Ah… It hurts…” Mu Lingyun’s voice trembled due to the pain.

Ji Luochen helped Mu Lingyun to sit down, “Hold on for a bit, I’ll take your pulse.”

As he spoke, his fingers pressed on the girl’s wrist.

The pulse he felt, however, did not show the weakness typical of illness.

Instead, her chaotic and surging pulse seemed like it was due to poisoning.

Ji Luochen wondered, could there be some poison inside Mu Lingyun?

Ji Luochen turned to look at Mu Yanci.

Mu Yanci slightly frowned, then said, “I’ll go get Master Zhu to come and take a look at her.”

After speaking, Mu Yanci did not wait for Ji Luochen to respond and immediately turned to leave.

Once Mu Yanci had left, Ji Luochen shifted his attention back to Mu Lingyun, noticing that she still looked very uncomfortable.

“I’ll take you back to your room first.” Ji Luochen thought for a moment and then lifted Mu Lingyun in his arms.

Mu Lingyun felt herself being embraced into a slightly cool hold.

And that hint of coolness seemed to relieve her pain.

She unconsciously nestled closer in Ji Luochen’s embrace, her slender jade hands tightly encircling his body.

After returning to the room, Ji Luochen wanted to place the girl on the bed and go out to see if Master Zhu had arrived.

But the girl clung to him, unwilling to let go.

“Let go,” he said in a low voice.

“Don’t…” Mu Lingyun shook her head and mumbled, “It hurts, letting go of you would hurt even more…”

At that moment, she was certain that Ji Luochen’s breath and the coolness in his embrace could ease the pain in her body.

Ji Luochen had intended to forcefully pull the girl off him, but hearing her voice full of grievance and recalling the distress and helplessness he had felt during his own illness, he couldn’t bear to do so.

“Then close your eyes and sleep. I’ll stay right here and not leave, alright?” He unconsciously softened his voice to console her.

Mu Lingyun closed her eyes, said nothing, but also did not let go.

Ji Luochen, out of options, could only sit on the bed, allowing the girl to rest in his arms.

In his memory, this was the first time he had been this close to a girl, looking at her small, fluffy head, he didn’t find it bothersome at all.

He even felt the urge to stroke her black, soft hair.

With that thought, he lifted his hand, placed it on the girl’s head, and softly caressed it.

“Mmm–” The girl seemed to protest by shaking her head, then buried it deeper in his chest and held him tighter.

Ji Luochen removed his hand, let it fall, and looked down at the girl in his arms, the corners of his mouth curling slightly upward.

The touch felt familiar; it was quite interesting.

–

It wasn’t long before Mu Yanci arrived with Master Zhu.

To see Mu Lingyun apparently asleep on Ji Luochen’s body.

Mu Yanci’s mouth twitched.
