Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1704: Chapter 1684:

”You scared me to death...” He Wenyu shook off Qhianqhian’s hand, her face full of grievance. ”I wasn’t scared to death by that sewing needle, I was scared to death by you. Why’d you scream? What bit you?”

Qhianqhian looked at the red ring on He Wenyu’s wrist and felt a bit guilty, then glanced at the sewing needle stuck in her own lower abdomen...

”Doesn’t it hurt?” She swallowed, hesitating as she looked at He Wenyu.

”How could it not hurt? Do you have any idea how strong you are? Good thing you only grabbed and held on. If you’d actually squeezed I’d have a comminuted fracture by now, wouldn’t I?” He Wenyu pouted, carefully checking that there was no bruising, then curled her lips and said, ”What bit you?”

Mo calmly touched his nose on the side, then casually turned and went out to get something, clearly not intending to explain anything to Qhianqhian.

Qhianqhian swallowed. ”Uh... I was just scared. Is your hand okay?” She looked at He Wenyu in self-reproach. After all... the girl had been fine, didn’t even react to the sewing needle, yet had been yanked painfully by her.

But this sewing needle looked way thicker than a normal intramuscular injection needle. Was He Wenyu really not feeling anything, or was she deliberately ignoring it? Qhianqhian was full of doubts...

”Why’d he go out?” He Wenyu looked in the direction Mo had left, confused.

Qhianqhian swallowed. ”He... has urgent, frequent urination and can’t quite finish.”

Mo’s footsteps faltered mid-stride thanks to his sharp hearing...

”You even know that?” He Wenyu stared at Qhianqhian in shock.

Qhianqhian was a bit speechless. It was obviously just her making fun of him, okay?

Did she really have to take it so seriously? It gave her a sense of guilt, okay?

When Mo carried in the Bath Tub along with a bowl and a Little white jade bottle, He Wenyu became even more puzzled.

”Get me a bottle of water. I’m out over here.” Mo directly reached a hand out to Qhianqhian.

Qhianqhian nodded, opened layer after layer of wrapping to take out the Xuanming Ring, then took out some water. She hesitated and asked, ”Should I get you some more?”

Mo froze for a moment, then slowly nodded. ”Bring me some food too. After all, I’m basically not getting out for the next half year or more.”

Qhianqhian didn’t ask further. She obediently removed some items and placed them on the floor to the side. After all, they could still casually eat something, but Mo, who was going to be doing a wall-facing reflection... probably wouldn’t have that option.

He glanced at Qhianqhian and jerked his chin toward the wooden barrel. ”Fill it.”

Qhianqhian’s mouth twitched. So her function now was equivalent to a water well?

Mo opened the White Jade Bottle, took out a dark green elixir from inside, and placed it in the bowl. Then he picked up a bottle of mineral water and slowly poured it into the bowl. Very quickly, the bowl was filled with a greenish, fragrant solution.

He then slowly poured the liquid into the Bath Tub. Only a single drop of liquid remained in the bowl, and he unhesitatingly added water again to fill it up. After holding it in his hands for a moment, he passed it to Qhianqhian. ”Feed this to her.”

He himself stood by the Bath Tub, placing his palm into the water. Very soon, white steam rose from the Bath Tub before he finally withdrew his hand.

Qhianqhian hurriedly nodded, directly took out a straw, stuck one end in the bowl, and moved the other end toward He Wenyu’s mouth.

He Wenyu rolled her eyes hard. ”In dramas they always feed medicine so tenderly and lovingly, blowing on each sip to cool it down. And you just shove a whole straw at me?”

”What if it’s bitter? You want to slowly sip it one mouthful at a time?” Qhianqhian curled her lips.

Although the smell of it was pretty good, who could guarantee it would be sweet? Herbal stuff wasn’t necessarily sweet, okay!

Thinking about those dark, miserable decoctions, Qhianqhian scrunched all her features together.

The corner of He Wenyu’s mouth twitched, and she resignedly bit down on the straw to drink the medicine.

If TV dramas were shot like this, would anyone still watch them?

When there was one last mouthful that just wouldn’t come up through the straw, Qhianqhian unhesitatingly raised the bowl and poured it straight into He Wenyu’s mouth.

He Wenyu was startled, but there hadn’t been much left, so it only really just moistened her lips.

”If anything happens to me in the future, don’t you dare come take care of me. I’m afraid I’ll be killed by your ’care.’” Striking a dramatic ”drop dead like a dog” pose, He Wenyu mercilessly complained, ”You feed medicine with a straw—what’s next, you gonna have me drink thin rice gruel instead of eating... No, that’s just drinking rice soup at that point.”

”You could also choose to drink milk.” Qhianqhian looked completely innocent, staring at the three sewing needles in He Wenyu’s lower abdomen and swallowing hard. Hopefully she wouldn’t leak water when she drank...

Mo slowly walked up to the bed, formed a hand seal, and moved his hand closer to the three needles.

”Mmh...” A sound that could make people blush instantly spilled from He Wenyu’s mouth.

Qhianqhian’s cheeks flushed red. She held a tissue up to block He Wenyu’s line of sight, afraid she’d see the three needles in her belly.

Clearly, though, she was overthinking it...

Because from He Wenyu’s angle, what she saw first were her own towering peaks. As for her stomach, she’d have to lift her head to see that...

The next second, Mo yanked the three needles out in one move, gathering them into his palm. ”Okay, put her in the water to soak for a while and she’ll be fine. Seven consecutive days of Medicinal Bath, and no more medicine is needed. For the Medicinal Bath you just need to throw one elixir into the Bath Tub each time, but it has to be a hot bath.”

Looking at the Bath Tub to the side, Qhianqhian nodded and narrowed her eyes with a smile. ”If the two of us worked together, we could open a hot spring inn. I’d be in charge of the water, you’d be in charge of the heating. Clean and non-polluting.”

Mo was tidying up the things Qhianqhian had taken out. Hearing that, he couldn’t help but laugh.

”Alright, you two hurry up and test the water temperature. I’ll head out first.” Once he finished gathering his things, he calmly turned and walked out the door.

Only, the look he cast toward The East was filled with gravity.

He Wenyu was dumbfounded to discover she could only talk and couldn’t move at all. So she watched as Qhianqhian undressed her like she was bathing An Hao, tossed her into the water, and even thoughtfully put a floaty ring around her neck to prevent her from drowning...

”Why do you even have something like this!!!” He Wenyu was torn between laughter and tears.

”For An Hao, of course.” Qhianqhian looked completely matter-of-fact. ”But it’s good you’re not fat, so it works for you too. Best of both worlds.”

The open-front kind really was convenient.

Qhianqhian couldn’t help but lavish praise on the inventions of lazy people. With something like this, you didn’t have to worry about all kinds of problems.

But very quickly, the surging pressure from outside made her heart jolt. After securing He Wenyu in the Bath Tub and giving her a couple of quick instructions, she hurried out the door.

Who would have thought she’d see three black-clad figures riding a flying beast...

Their outfits looked a bit like the guy they’d accidentally killed, didn’t they?

”Come back with us.” The other side hovered above the courtyard, their gaze fixed on Mo.

Qhianqhian’s heart lurched. She immediately stepped forward, eyes full of vigilance, directly pulling out the Thousand Mechanism Box and setting herself in a battle stance.
