"Aren't you afraid of me anymore?" Shitou asked with a strange look on his face.

"Not afraid," Lu Yun's heart raced again, and she suppressed her unease to retort loudly, "Hmph, when have I ever been afraid of you?"

"That's good." Shitou casually leaned back and lay down on the large rock where he had been sitting, closing his eyes.

"Hey," Lu Yun glared at him.

"What?" Shitou asked languidly without even opening his eyes.

I have an elixir that strengthens the body. After some time, when you've regained a bit of strength, you can take the medicine to change your physique. However..."

Seeing Shitou's condition, Lu Yun felt an overwhelming sense of pity. She couldn't bear to see him despondent. Her space was one of herbal legacy, filled with various elixir recipes—some rather simple to concoct, others more complex.
