An Lin wheedled at Xu Xiaolan as she brought over a bowl of medicine. "I'm too injured to drink by myself. You'll need to feed me."
Xu Xiaolan burst into laughter. "Alright, open wide."
She began spooning medicine into An Lin's mouth.
An Lin felt as if his heart were being warmed by the medicine. After experiencing that hellish battle from earlier, he had started to learn to appreciate life much more!
He finished the bowl of medicine and lay down with a blissful expression.
All of a sudden!
Excruciating pain shot through his body!
It started first in his stomach, and it soon felt as if all of his skin were being torn apart. The pain continued deep into his bones, all the way into his consciousness, as if it was going to destroy both his body and his soul…
"Ah…!" An Lin howled in agony.
"An Lin, An Lin… How do you feel?" Xu Xiaolan looked at An Lin with a sinister smile.
