The door opened, and the young man looked up, his face deathly pale.
Ye Linyuan's gaze fell upon Jiang Qingli, cradled in his arms.
The girl had passed out at some point. Beads of sweat dotted her pale face, and her fingers were clenched tightly around Gu Nian's clothes, as if she were afraid he would run away.
It was clearly a case of Superpower overuse.
'No wonder the mark over my heart has been stinging since this afternoon.'
After being marked, a male could sense the condition of his female master, and the sensation grew stronger the closer they were.
The mark had felt like it was burning just now, which must have been because Jiang Qingli had used too much of her healing Superpower on Gu Nian.
'Is a useless scrap of a rabbit really worth wasting so much on?'
'She always has too strong a sense of duty, and she's too soft-hearted.'
'She's like this with me, and she's like this with everyone else.'
