After absorbing some of the Energy Stone's power, Zhu Xiu felt as though his entire body had been stretched out, leaving him feeling completely at ease.
He opened his eyes, and the female's fair, delicate face filled his vision.
Her berry-red lips opened and closed as if she were saying something, but Zhu Xiu couldn't hear a word. His gaze was locked on them.
Bai Wanwan saw that clarity seemed to have returned to his eyes, but he just stared at her without making a sound.
She reached out to touch his forehead. His temperature was perfectly normal.
Suddenly, Zhu Xiu grabbed her wrist, slowly pulling her hand away from his forehead.
"I'm fine."
His voice was still a bit hoarse, and his scarlet eyes, filled with intense aggression, drew closer to her inch by inch.
Even the usually carefree Bai Wanwan could sense something was off. Her heart began to beat erratically, and she squirmed, trying to pull away.
Zhu Xiu swiftly clasped her waist, forcing her to face him.
