Hearing this, Erwin and Jadie took the pills. Moments later, they felt an intense itching at their injuries.
Erwin was astonished to see his chest wound healing rapidly, and it filled him with shock. The swelling on Jadie’s face quickly receded, and her cracked skin stitched itself back together. Even the old injuries she had received from past missions were further healed.
“What a powerful pill!” Jadie exclaimed in delight as she touched her face. However, she noted with regret that her lost teeth had not regrown. At the same time, her fear of Nash grew. This man was fiercely protective and showed no mercy, not even to women.
Nash took out another pill and said to Melody, “Open your mouth.”
Melody blushed. “I can take it myself!”

At that, Melody’s pupils dilated as she quickly opened her mouth. What the heck? As if she would let him feed her with his mouth in front of so many people! She would die of embarrassment!

Noting Melody was not trying to make him stay, Nash leaned in and teased softly, “Not planning to keep me overnight, hmm?”
His warm breath tickled her face, causing her ears to burn. She looked down and gritted her teeth. “Can you be serious for once? Do you really want me to die of embarrassment?”
Unlike the secular world, disciples in reclusive sects were extremely conservative. Some female disciples even wore traditional undergarments. If they saw her getting affectionate with a man, they would gossip behind her back.
The sect master coughed lightly, smiling as she said, “Since you've come such a long way, why not rest here for a couple of days, Nash?”
Melody quickly tried to decline on Nash's behalf, “Master, he has a lot to—”
