Xijing clutched his hand, his face etched with pain.
"Are you hurt? Let me see."
Xijing didn't want to worry her, but when he sensed her concern, he swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue.
"Yeah, I got a little scraped up fighting the beastmen from Tiger Beast City. But it's not serious. I'm fine."
Qiao Xixi insisted, pulling up his arm to check. The wound was on his inner forearm, already turning white from being soaked in seawater. She hadn't noticed it since they'd been underwater the whole time.
She quickly took out some Recovery Glue from her storage space and applied it for him. "If you get hurt again, you can tell me. I have medicine, and it works really well."
Xijing stared blankly for a moment, touched by her tenderness, then slowly nodded. "Okay."
Qiao Xixi wanted to go look for Xiya and the others immediately, but seeing Xijing's pale face, she didn't have the heart to say it.
