Chapter 424

"Ugh!!! Why are you making things difficult for me when you're applying medicine to me!" The ointment was wrapped around the gauze roll and was not gently shoved into it.

Shi Li groaned and tried to curl up, but Shi Zhiyan pressed her down.

"As I just said, if you insert it, the medicine will be more effective and the recovery will be faster."

"Just bear with it for a moment." Shi Zhiyan's lips twitched slightly, and judging from Shi Li's perspective, he was probably trying to suppress a laugh.

Shi Li pouted and kicked Shi Zhiyan in the chest.

But his ankle was suddenly grabbed.

Although Shi Zhiyan took a solid kick, his expression wasn't one of pain; rather, it seemed like he was enjoying it.

"Then? Continue?" Shi Zhiyan joked with a smile, only to receive a glare from Shi Li.

"But how long will it take to stuff this in? I have a weird feeling about this." Shi Li blushed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed.

It was indeed a rather strange feeling.

But the burning sensation I felt earlier has definitely eased a lot.

"Also, it's strange that you let me go." Shi Li tried to break free from Shi Zhiyan's control, but her ankles were still held tightly.

"Why are you letting go? The medicine was just inserted."

"Wait a little while, otherwise you won't feel comfortable and it will feel even stranger and more uncomfortable when you're doing activities." Shi Zhiyan meant well, although he also had some ulterior motives.

"But this is strange, hasn't that healing fluid been replicated yet?"

"If I could just drink the healing potion, I wouldn't have to go through all this trouble." Shi Li missed that cup of healing potion back then; it was truly a cure-all, without any suffering at all.

"That thing is not easy to study because the original fluid is lacking. The original fluid is the saliva of the Zerg, and no one will dare to use it anymore."

"Now it's like starting from scratch." Shi Zhiyan released Shi Li's ankle and began to treat the bruises on Shi Li's body.

The cool spray combined with the scalding heat of the hands made Shi Li feel rather uncomfortable; it was best to avoid getting involved with these people.

It's not that they deliberately caused trouble; it's just that their bodies couldn't withstand the strain.

They can't compare to the bodies of those who have been through countless hardships over the years.

"Let's rest here for a while," Shi Zhiyan said, seeing that Shi Li had no reaction.

Shi Li was taken aback. Was this a temporary decision not to let her go out?

"You're restricting my movements." Shi Li quickly sat up.

"It's not a restriction, but if you go out in your current state, you can only rest and recuperate."

"Why don't you just rest here?" In fact, Shi Zhiyan's words were simply sophistry. Shi Li didn't believe that if she recuperated outside like this, others would ignore her health and do whatever they wanted.

This was also because Shi Zhiyan was angry; otherwise, Shi Li wouldn't have let Shi Zhiyan cause her so much trouble yesterday.

"No, I can go out and wander around, but here I can only stay here."

"How boring." Shi Li certainly didn't want to stay here.

I'm so incredibly bored, there's not even a signal on my device.

This space is also eerie.

It can really block everything.

"Then why don't you try to get out yourself?" Shi Zhiyan tilted his head and touched Shi Li's hair.

He no longer intends to let Shili out.

I also know that Shi Li is a very tolerant and kind person who is very tolerant of her own people, and she won't really get angry.

Sometimes Shi Zhiyan felt he was a despicable person, relentlessly exploiting Shi Li's kindness and good temper, almost to the point of driving her to her death. But he just couldn't control himself.

Shi Zhiyan probably hoped that Shi Li was a person with a temper and not so nice to him, so that he could feel more at ease doing such evil deeds.

"You just want to lock me up." Shi Li lay back down on the bed.

Staying here for a few days isn't so bad, since Shi Zhiyan won't really kill her anyway.

However, Shi Zhiyan's approach this time was different from before. If it were before, Shi Zhiyan would have already come and explained things to her.

That was the end of that.

But this time Shi Zhiyan didn't.

Shi Zhiyan, on the contrary, avoided discussing this matter with her.

This is actually a bad omen.

If Shi Zhiyan continues to refuse to resolve this matter, is she supposed to stay locked up here forever?

It's not that there's no way to get out, but Shi Li still hopes that Shi Zhiyan can come to his senses and let her out on his own.

"Yes, I'm going to lock you up."

Are you going to attack me now?

"I know you have this ability." Shi Zhiyan didn't shy away from this, and he even really hoped to be beaten up by Shi Li, which would reduce a lot of his guilt.

Shi Zhiyan even gently took Shi Li's hand and placed it on his cheek.

"Just for this reason, give me a good slap, and I'll feel a little better." Shi Zhiyan's eyes began to gleam with that eerie, dark light again.

Shi Li gasped in shock. If she had actually slapped Shi Zhiyan, he might have been so pleased that he would have dragged her to do it again.

It's crazy.

"I won't give you that kind of reward so easily." Shi Li snorted and withdrew her hand. She had a good temper, but she wasn't without one.

"Okay, you should rest well. I'll bring you food. Here are some snacks and water that I brought from the palace; they were stored here before."

"Eat whatever you want if you're hungry or thirsty," Shi Zhiyan instructed, then suddenly disappeared from Shi Li's sight.

Shili was left to face this quiet space.

Shi Li looked around, observing the exquisite "cage" that Shi Zhiyan had been preparing for who knows how long.

It has everything.

When I came here with everyone before, I hadn't really looked around properly; all I remembered was this big bed.

I didn't have much of a chance to lie here during that time, but now that I'm lying here, I realize that this bed is really good quality.

It's quite soft too.

The shelves around here were filled with strange clothes, strange tools, and the medicine that Shi Zhiyan had just given her.

Shi Li lay listlessly on the bed, staring at the light above her head.

She began to question her own heart: what kind of feelings did she truly have for Shi Zhiyan?
Or perhaps there's something wrong with how she and Shi Zhiyan get along, and they really need to start anew and find a path that's uniquely their own.

"Shili, Shili, what on earth have you been doing?"

"How can you make almost all the beastmen dissatisfied?" Shi Li's original intention was to make everyone comfortable.

She tried her best to serve water and to be kind to everyone.

But what about in the end?
