Lin Nan did not bother to persuade Xiaobai. Instead, he lifted it off the floor.

"Put me down. D*mn you. I'll bite you." Xiaobai stretched its small arms and legs to catch Lin Nan but failed.

Turning aside, Lin Nan said to Zhao Qi, "Take care of it."

Zhao Qi took it over and quelled its struggle.

Once getting rid of the difficult snowball, Lin Nan began to take off Mu Tian's clothes as he wanted to treat the injuries as soon as possible.

Eager to stop Lin Nan, Xiaobai shot a small fireball from its mouth and set his back on fire at once.

Feeling the heat, Lin Nan conjured a water ball to put out the fire. It was lucky that Xiaobai's spiritual power could only afford a small fireball.

"What are you doing? Isn't Mu Tian your master? What kind of spiritual beast would stop the wounded master from being treated?" Lin Nan took off the burnt coat and changed into an intact one in a fury.

"It's not allowed anyway. We have a lady here and you just start to get him naked. What are you thinking?" Xiaobai backfired.

"I can leave now." Wu Xiaomei, who was facing them with her back, decided to get out of the cave now.

"No, you can't." Xiaobai stopped her.

Zhu Ming had been preparing an ordinary-level magical formation at the entrance of the cave as he was unable to employ the high-level ones. Seeing the scene, he got confused, "What's wrong? What are you fighting about?"

"This meatball is stopping us from dressing Mu Tian's wounds. I don't know why it does this." Zhao Qi answered while holding up Xiaobai.

Taking a cold look at Xiaobai, Zhu Ming questioned, "Are you a spy?" When this idea occurred to them, they remembered that Xiaobai seemed to be very indifferent to Mu Tian even during the fierce battle, which was quite strange.

The more they thought about it, the more intense their distrust grew. Staring at Xiaobai, they seemed to want to analyze it with their eyes.

Shaking with a pot belly, Xiaobai fought back, "I tell you that don't think you can bully me since Mu Tian is unconscious. Once he wakes up, I'll ask him to teach you a lesson."

Lin Nan made a sign to Zhu Ming and Zhu Ming nodded. They were so familiar with each other that they could understand what they wanted by the eyes.

Zhu Ming started a magical formation on the ground and gestured for Zhao Qi to get a move on.

Despite Xiaobai's struggle, Zhao Qi dropped it into the magical formation.

"How dare you try to get me trapped in this!"

"Let me out!"

"I swear you won't get away with it."

Hitting the intangible walls of the magical formation, Xiaobai was unable to get out even though it gathered its spiritual power. D*mn! Now it wanted to cut them into pieces once its power recovered.

Frowning, Zhu Ming heightened the magical formation with another one and the noise made by Xiaobai disappeared immediately. Hearing the silence, he nodded with satisfaction.

Taking out the medicine and putting it beside Mu Tian, Lin Nan took off Mu Tian's coat very carefully, trying not to touch the injuries.

Then he was going to get rid of the layers under the coat.

With her eyelashes quivering, Murong Xue finally woke up, revealing her beautiful black eyes. When she saw what Lin Nan was trying to do, she covered her chest and sat up at once, "What do you want to do?"

Seeing Mu Tian's bright cold eyes, Lin Nan suddenly felt embarrassed but he didn’t know the reason, "Don't misunderstand me. You're hurt and I want to treat the injuries." To be more convincing, he shook the medicine bottle in his hand while explaining.

At this moment, Mu Tian was half-dressed, with the flyaway hair and the skin exposed by the injuries. All of these made this person look more vulnerable and this aroused Lin Nan's sympathy. He felt as if Mu Tian would have been hurt again if his voice had been louder.

Grabbing the coat beside her, Murong Xue put it on very quickly and refused his kindness, "Thanks but no. I can do it myself."

Seeing Murong Xue wake up, Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief.

Murong Xue saw her snowball that was put in the magical formation, too. She was confused, "What happened to it?"

Zhu Ming ended the magical formation right away and looked away to avoid Mu Tian's eyes.

Giving each of them a glare, Xiaobai jumped into Murong Xue's arms and pouted, "They were bullying me. Teach them a lesson. Quick."

Awkwardly, Lin Nan waved his hands and tried to explain, "It's not like that. We wanted to treat you, but it kept stopping us. We got it trapped, but we didn't lay a finger on it." Xiaobai's complaint made him feel like they were some b*st*rds who took advantage of Mu Tian's faint to bully it.

Murong Xue digested the information for a while and understood everything, "Xiaobai did that for my own good."

"Never mind. Mu Tian, your injuries need dressing now. You're still bleeding."

Nodding, Murong Xue took over the healing medicine and applied it to the injuries on her arms and legs, leaving the one on her breast. She then gave the medicine back to Lin Nan.

Lin Nan thought that he forgot about that wound, so he did not take it and reminded again, "Mu Tian, there is still one."

"I know, but no need. I'm fine." Murong Xue said.

Lin Nan frowned, "No, you have to. It will get inflamed otherwise. If you find it difficult, I can help you."

Murong Xue clutched her clothes and declined, "I don't like to take off clothes in front of others."

"Don't worry. There are no secrets between men."

Zhu Ming and Zhao Qi also felt confused, staring at Mu Tian.

Murong Xue could feel her lips twitched and she made up an excuse, "I have an unmentionable disease."

Hearing this, Xiaobai was quivering in her arms, not out of pain but out of great amusement. It tried so hard to quell its snigger that its body trembled.

Giving Xiaobai's chubby body a hard squeeze, Murong Xue complained inside that it did not help her cover it up. How unsympathetic Xiaobai was!

"We are not those who would laugh at you. No matter what we see, we won't say anything." Lin Nan comforted her sincerely.

The others nodded seriously.

Murong Xue put on a sad and struggling face, saying, "Could you please stop asking about it?" She seemed to be really in a dilemma.

The scene that a handsome man frowned aroused their sympathy in an instant.

Lin Nan offered an alternative, "If so, how about we all wait outside for you to finish dressing the wounds? You have to apply medicine to your wounds. You can give us a shout when it's done. Okay?"

Murong Xue nodded, "Thank you."

Seeing they walk out of the cave, Murong Xue breathed a sigh of relief, gave the quivering Xiaobai a glare, and entered the Space together with it.

After applying the medicine to her wounds and changing the clothes, Murong Xue and Xiaobai left the Space for the cave. Checking with her spiritual sense, Murong Xue found that the others were all waiting for her outside and guarding the cave as they promised.

Xiaobai devoured lots of fruits in the Space while Murong Xue was treating herself, so it was burping now.

Murong Xue shouted to them, "It's okay now."

They walked in slowly.

Wu Xiaomei worried that Mu Tian’s spirit root had been hurt and asked, "Mu Tian, do you have internal injuries? How about your spirit root?" None of them was able to check Mu Tian’s spirit root, so they were all concerned.

Murong Xue smiled at them, saying, "I'm fine."

Xiaobai asked confusedly, "What happened today?"

Murong Xue lifted the hand with the Dragon Ring, "Luckily, it saved me. But I'm afraid that I can't use the Shield for some time." She had checked the Dragon Ring just now and found it even shabbier and dimmer. Now she could only sense its faint presence, which made her feel sorry.

Lin Nan was surprised, "The ring? It's a spirit weapon?"

Feeling the Dragon Ring, Murong Xue asked, "Do you know how to refuel a spirit weapon? I think it becomes weaker now."

Lin Nan thought for a while, "Spirit weapons are usually linked to their masters. Probably the reason why it doesn't recover is that your level is not high enough. You can let the weapon master reforge it, but there is a possibility of failure..."

"What comes with the failure?" Murong Xue asked.

"The ring would perish. But if not, the ring could reach a higher level."

"No, I don't want the risk." Murong Xue did not need a ring of a higher level. She just wanted this Dragon Ring. Not knowing why, she felt her attachment to it got much deeper after such a short time.

Seemingly echoing with Murong Xue's feeling, the Dragon Ring flashed once. But it happened so quickly that nobody noticed that.

They all understood why Mu Tian said that. Cultivators like them would grow emotional dependence on their weapons, and the better spirit weapons would even develop the spiritual sense and have a mind of their own.

"I didn't expect Xie Linna to come back so soon and hire people to kill us." Speaking of her, the four felt upset, which was quite normal when a former partner became the enemy.
