Cui Lingyao nodded. "You've been severely injured multiple times, and your body has grown so weak. Hurry and take this. It will help you recover quickly, without any lingering effects."
Xie Jinbai held the Jade Bottle, turning it over and over in his hands. He glanced up and, seeing her still standing by the bed, scooted over. "Get in bed first, then we'll talk."
His robes were still open, and the blood-stained gauze was a jarring sight.
Cui Lingyao climbed onto the bed and began to straighten his robes. Seeing him still staring at the Jade Bottle, she couldn't help but ask, "Go on, take it. Are you afraid I'm trying to poison you?"
"Of course not,"
Xie Jinbai grasped her wrist, brought it to his lips for a kiss, and smiled. "It's just... I find the material of this bottle rather odd. It looks like Hetian jade, yet it's colder to the touch. When I hold it, the chill lingers. This is no ordinary item."
"..."
Cui Lingyao stared, dumbfounded.
