Because Xuan Yi was wearing Xiao Tian's robe, it was quite loose on her.
And because she was slightly bowing in gratitude at that moment, Xiao Tian looked up and his gaze met her cleavage.
Seeing Xiao Tian's stunned expression, Xuan Yi also looked in the direction of Xiao Tian's gaze, puzzled.
Immediately, she discovered the problem, quickly stood up, her fingertips fumbling to clutch her collar, her cheeks rapidly flushed red, her earlobes instantly burned, and even her breathing became erratic.
"Cough," Xiao Tian lightly coughed, then turned his head to look at the night sky outside the cave entrance, thinking to himself, *The moon is so big and round tonight, and the light it casts is so white.*
The two of them fell into an awkward silence. Xuan Yi sat on a stone, her head bowed. It was her first time being seen like that by a man.
And she could not blame him, as it was her own fault that led to it; he was innocent.
The two remained silent. Xuan Yi kept her head down, the redness in her ears not fading, while Xiao Tian added some firewood to the fire.
As she looked down, Xuan Yi noticed that although Xiao Tian was poking the fire and adding firewood, under his manipulation, the fire gradually moved towards her, maintaining a comfortable temperature for her.
Xiao Tian opened the pot that had been roasting by the fire, poured the water into a cup, and then used Dou Qi to cool the water.
Xuan Yi, still looking down at the fire, noticed a cup of water in front of her. She paused slightly, then looked up and met Xiao Tian's calm, unmoving eyes.
"You just woke up. Drink some water. I have added a lot of herbs that can restore the soul; it will be good for you," Xiao Tian said, then lightly tapped the side of the cup with his finger, signaling her to take it.
Xuan Yi reached out and took the cup from Xiao Tian's hand. Their fingertips brushed inadvertently. Xuan Yi's body stiffened slightly, then quickly recovered, holding the cup in her hand, while Xiao Tian's expression remained unchanged.
"Thank you," she said softly, gripping the cup tightly, then stared blankly at the cup in her hand. The slightly rippling water in the cup reflected her pale face and unfocused eyes.
She had not felt this kind of care from someone in a long time, it seemed.
First, the fire moved to the right position, then the things she needed most were prepared early. He truly was a meticulous man. Thinking this, her lips unconsciously curved into a slight smile, which she herself did not even notice.
"What? Are you afraid I put something in it?" Xiao Tian asked, seeing that she had not drunk it.
Xuan Yi shook her head, gripping the cup tighter, and smiled. "No. If you had such intentions, there were so many opportunities before. Why wait until now?"
With that, she brought the cup to her lips. The warm water flowed down her throat, carrying a faint herbal fragrance.
After drinking, Xuan Yi could feel her weak soul inside her body, seemingly trembling slightly, as a warm current slowly flowed through her, continuously nourishing her soul.
She was also an Alchemist, and she could roughly guess the herbs inside the moment it entered her mouth. She had not expected Xiao Tian to use such precious herbs for her. One must know that herbs for the soul were always more valuable than ordinary herbs.
And the herbs Xiao Tian added were enough to move even a Grade 7 Alchemist.
After finishing the water, she put down the cup, her gaze falling on Xiao Tian's face, and asked softly with a hint of confusion, "Why use such precious herbs to treat me?"
After asking, Xuan Yi remembered the surprise in Xiao Tian's eyes when he heard her name earlier. Although it was fleeting, she still caught it, and immediately continued, "Do you know me?"
Xiao Tian sat on a stone, and hearing Xuan Yi's words, he looked up at her. "I have had the fortune of hearing the name Xuan Yi. One of the three giants of the Pill Tower, a Nine Revolutions Dou Zun peak expert, and an Eight-Grade peak Alchemist. Perhaps I saved you because of your identity, so I can use this life-saving grace to gain greater value."
Xuan Yi looked into Xiao Tian's eyes, then at the pot beside the fire. This was clearly already cooking before she woke up.
Moreover, she had always lived in seclusion, and even a large number of people within the Pill Tower did not know that one of the three giants was a woman, let alone outsiders. So she was very certain that Xiao Tian definitely did not know her before she spoke her name.
Xuan Yi gently shook her head and whispered, "Through your eyes, I can see a kind of arrogance that looks down on everything, so you are not someone who would do such a thing."
Xiao Tian chuckled and met her gaze. "What if it was because of your beauty, for example, lust at first sight?"
Xuan Yi heard this and showed an expression that said, *Do you think I would believe that?*, a hint of confidence on her lips, and said:
"In my sixth sense, I can perceive that you are not that kind of person. Moreover, when I was unconscious, although I had no awareness, I could still vaguely sense that you did not engage in any behavior related to the reason you just mentioned."
"With your appearance and temperament, if you are willing, just beckon on the street, and many young and beautiful women would eagerly throw themselves at you. There is no need to do these things."
After speaking, Xuan Yi could not help but cover her mouth and chuckle, then continued:
"What is more, do you men not all like young and beautiful women?"
Xiao Tian was speechless. His gaze paused slightly, then he shook his head with a wry smile.
Seeing Xiao Tian like this, Xuan Yi thought she had guessed correctly, then pointed to the two little girls on the bed. "From their facial features and appearance, it is not hard to see that their mother must also be an incredibly beautiful woman, so it is even more impossible for you to be that kind of person."
"I did not even realize I was so good; you are quite good at making excuses for me." Xiao Tian's head-shaking motion paused, and he suddenly looked up at Xuan Yi, a trace of helplessness and deep meaning flashing in his eyes. "I never thought that one day I would need to rely on two little girls to define my image?"
Xuan Yi glanced at the helpless Xiao Tian and smiled slyly. She did not know why, but being with Xiao Tian gave her a strangely comfortable feeling, as if she had returned to her former self.
"Although I am injured now, my judgment of people has not changed."
"Yes, you are right." If someone praises him, of course he has to accept it. This is the trouble of being excellent. Xiao Tian continued:
"It was the two little girls who found you first and asked me to save you. And I, as their father, naturally could not disappoint them when it was within my capabilities to do so."
