Bab 176: Ways to Feed Him

I kept myself busy for the rest of the day. Bai Ye was too weak to move back to his room, so I brought all our blankets and covers to the meditation chamber and assembled a makeshift bed out of them. Carefully supporting his body, I moved him onto the cushioned surface and laid him down, tucking him under the warm layers. He was still ice-cold, and I didn't know if it'd be safe to pass him my spiritual power at this point, so I made a fire by the bed for the first time in five years. Then I heated a handful of rocks from the garden and wrapped them up, tucking them next to him under the blankets.

He still looked grudging the entire time, but at least he cooperated and acquiesced to everything I did, which was all I needed at the moment. After settling him down, I made a quick trip to my kitchen and fetched the remaining tuber fleece flower, starting a brew over the fire next to him.
