"Don't worry, I'm just… *cough*…" I barely uttered that I was fine when I coughed up another mouthful of blood.
Feeling that Xiao Li was about to leave, I tightened my grip on her small hand, "I pushed too hard earlier, used the heavenly fire, and overconsumed it backlashed onto myself, calling a doctor won't help."
"Oh, I remember now, you turned into a phoenix."
With a sudden realization, Xiao Li heeded my words and stayed. After a while, she murmured softly, "It was seeing me attacked by crows that made you disregard your health and unleash your full power, wasn't it?"
Don't look at how careless the little girl usually is; at this moment, she's more meticulous than anyone.
The scene that just unfolded was perfectly deciphered by her.
"If it were you facing danger, you'd do the same." A warm current flowed through my heart, and after a heavy sinking feeling, I fell into a deep meditation.
