The study...
"You push the door open," Shen Yan commanded Mu Anxiao, who was behind him, as he stopped by the door with his hands behind his back, not looking back.
Mu Anxiao looked up at the back of Shen Yan's head and said, "Do you think that guy is lying to us? That there's no immortal book at all."
"Stop the nonsense and hurry," Shen Yan urged coldly.
Mu Anxiao broke out in a cold sweat and stared at the lock that was glowing green. "This door is clearly cursed. If I touch it, the outcome will surely be terrible."
"Hurry up," Shen Yan urged.
Mu Anxiao glanced at Shen Yan, not daring to say anything more, and walked forward. The moment her hand slowly touched the lock, a green light flashed. Before Mu Anxiao could react, she was hit by the power within the light beam and sent flying.
Shen Yan watched in surprise as Mu Anxiao was thrown down the steps by the light beam. He swallowed and asked, "Are you alright?"
Mu Anxiao lay on the ground, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes. She opened her mouth, but for a long time, she couldn't utter a word.
Shen Yan, worried that Mu Anxiao might have been killed by the fall, walked down the steps and crouched beside her. "Speak."
However, Mu Anxiao still only opened her mouth without making a sound.
Shen Yan sighed softly. "Fortunately, I was prepared." As he said this, he spread his hand and produced the other half of a pill, offering it to Mu Anxiao's mouth. "Open your mouth."
Mu Anxiao turned her face away.
"Your injuries will only heal if you eat this. If you don't, you'll just lie here, be discovered, and then be killed by that wolf demon."
Hearing Shen Yan's words, Mu Anxiao quickly straightened her head and opened her mouth.
Shen Yan dropped the half-pill into Mu Anxiao's mouth and said, "There, now you can get up and talk." After speaking, he stood up.
Mu Anxiao, after the colorless and tasteless half-pill melted in her mouth, let out a soft "Ah," shifted, and used her elbow to push herself up, stretching her limbs. She then asked, "What did you give me?"
"The other half of the pill you had left."
Upon hearing that it was the remaining half-pill, Mu Anxiao quickly stood up and said, "Didn't you say you'd only give me half a pill? The effect of this half-pill isn't to be able to see..."
"Eating half a pill lets you see demons. Eating the whole pill will greatly accelerate your body's recovery ability compared to normal people," Shen Yan interrupted.
Mu Anxiao flexed her arms with Shen Yan's words and said, "I couldn't even move my neck just now, and now I'm really better. It's so miraculous..." "What's wrong?" Shen Yan asked, looking at Mu Anxiao, who had suddenly stopped talking, with confusion.
Mu Anxiao rolled her eyes and swallowed the word "miraculous" completely. She said, "If you had given this to me before, my wounds wouldn't have healed so slowly, and I wouldn't have had to endure so much pain. You..." She changed her expression and pointed at Shen Yan's face. "You did it on purpose."
"No matter what, you are still just human. If you had consumed the entire thing at once, your body certainly couldn't have handled it and might have even led to your premature death."
"Premature death..." Mu Anxiao repeated the words and then, thinking about her own beautiful age, asked, "Then if I eat it now, I won't die prematurely, right?"
"I can't answer that question," Shen Yan said, turning to look at the lock that was still emitting green light.
"Then you shouldn't have given it to me." Mu Anxiao began to worry about her own life.
"How can this be solved?" Shen Yan muttered to himself.
Mu Anxiao looked around, thinking he was asking her, and replied, "How would I know."
