It was already dusk when everyone came out of the Demon Realm, and the breeze brought a touch of coolness among the crowd.
After flying swords for half a day, the group was very tired and settled in a small town.
The street vendors were shouting their wares loudly, selling nothing more than jewelry, hairpins, healing pills, or weapons like daggers and short blades.
There were many people coming and going on the street, and in the crowded crowd, Jiang Niannian and his group were divided into two groups.
Wen Shili and others walked in front, at a faster pace.
Jiang Niannian was walking behind with Yin Buqi on her back, and she was also carrying the coal briquettes, so she walked slower.
Yin Buqi's black hair was scattered behind him. He was wearing a red robe and a hat on his head that covered his face.
With the previous experience in Qinghe Town, Jiang Niannian felt that this person would have to cover his face when traveling in the future, as he would attract too much attention wherever he went.
The temperature of the person on his back was getting higher and higher. Jiang Niannian felt something was wrong and turned her head to look at him.
Yin Buqi lowered his eyelids and his long black eyelashes trembled. He didn't say a word, but just rubbed her affectionately. His face was very pale and his lips were bloodless.
Jiang Niannian was a little anxious: "Not feeling well?"
Yin Buqi didn't say anything.
Jiang Niannian was sure that he was seriously injured this time. If it were in the past, he would definitely smile and tease her.
Yin Ci had been paying attention to the two of them. Seeing them stop, he couldn't help but walk over and asked, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Niannian said, "We are still some distance away from the sect. If we hurry, we will definitely arrive at midnight. However, Buqi is too seriously injured. How about you go first? I will take him to a nearby inn to recuperate for one night before returning."
"Then... Then I'll tell Master and I'll go with you." Yin Ci said, and then he shuttled through the crowd to chase Wen Shili.
Jiang Niannian looked in this corner for a while and saw an inn not far from them.
He carried Yin Buqi on his back and followed the crowd towards there.
After paying the money, he carried him to the ** upstairs and sent a message to Yin Ci.
The sound of Yin Buqi coughing was heard.
Jiang Niannian looked at his frail appearance, reached out and grabbed his wrist.
Yin Buqi noticed Jiang Niannian's hand approaching him, looked up, and his red eyes met hers.
He raised his hand, then hugged Jiang Niannian's slender waist and rested his head on her legs.
"Nian Nian... cough cough, it hurts..."
Jiang Niannian stroked his face worriedly, "You're feeling uncomfortable, aren't you? You have a high fever. I'll get you a basin of water to cool you down."
Yin Buqi held her waist tightly and refused to let go: "Nian Nian, don't leave... Can you, stay with me?"
"I'm not leaving. I'm just going to get a basin of water and will be back soon." Jiang Niannian felt helpless and amused. She stood up and kissed him on the lips.
Yin Buqi nodded, agreed reluctantly, and lay on the bed with his eyes closed.
Jiang Niannian said to Meiqiu, "Take good care of him." Then she went out.
Downstairs in the inn, Yin Ci, Tang Murou and Tang Xuanye were talking about something. Yin Ci was very excited and his face turned red.
Jiang Niannian's face darkened, and she walked downstairs and asked Yin Ci, "Why is she here?"
Yin Ci's eyes widened with anger, and he said angrily: "She said she was tired and wanted to rest for a night before leaving, but she insisted on following me and I couldn't drive her away!"
