Arc 3 Chapter 127: Scheming Lord, Cooperate a Bit (14)
She knew she couldn't change Weichi Che's life before he was eight years old, but she was determined not to let him suffer any further.
Reaching out Luo Liyan gently stroked Weichi Che's small head. After he finished eating the buns she handed him a small wine flask.
"This is medicine for internal injuries. I had the doctor from the apothecary prepare it. There are four doses in total, just enough to last until tomorrow night when I can get more for you."
"Tomorrow night, we'll leave together." Weichi Che said firmly. He then removed the flask's stopper and drained the contents with unwavering determination, despite its bitter taste.
"But your wounds..." Luo Liyan looked at his red swollen and festering injuries with concern.
Her initial plan was to leave tomorrow send him to Master Jingneng outside the city and hope that the Buddha's light could cleanse his dark heart. Although she didn't have high hopes for changing his sinister nature, she wanted to at least change the trajectory of his life.
"My injuries are not serious," Weichi Che asserted as if he wanted to prove something. He struggled to get up from the straw pile, but halfway through he staggered and fell down.
Luo Liyan hurriedly reached out to support him. "What are you trying to prove? Just last night you were so sick that you couldn't move and today you're already trying to run away?"
The stern tone of her voice startled Weichi Che. He stood there frozen afraid to even take a breath nervously watching Luo Liyan.
Seeing him like this, Luo Liyan couldn't help but find it amusing. She remembered how years later, a single glance from Weichi Che could make her legs tremble with fear. Now, he was just like a timid quail in front of her.
"Little one, you have to behave! I know you have a strong recovery ability but staying here for another day will increase our danger. So, let's rest for one more day. If by this time tomorrow you're feeling better, we can leave."
"Okay!" Weichi Che obediently nodded. He understood that his plan had to be postponed for now. He was more worried about dragging her into danger.
Luo Liyan went to fetch water and moistened a cotton cloth. She intended to help Weichi Che undress, but he took a step back.
"Sister, I'll do it myself."
He was well aware of how gruesome his injuries were. He couldn't bear to have her see him like this and he didn't want to soil her eyes with his filthy appearance.
"Are you feeling shy now?" Luo Liyan raised an eyebrow and teased him pointing at Weichi Che's tiny nose. "You can't possibly clean all your wounds by yourself and you wouldn't want to make them worse. So if you want to leave with me tomorrow you better behave and do as I say, understood?"
Weichi Che pressed his red lips into a thin line showing his reluctance. However, he didn't dare argue with Luo Liyan, so he sat obediently allowing her to undress him.
Luo Liyan didn't feel awkward at all, after all she still saw Weichi Che as an eight-year-old kid. But when she thought about the future where this child would grow up to be a ruthless Demon Lord, she couldn't help but want to take a picture to remember this rare moment.
