Shen Tang gave a light cough, glanced at him, and said in a low voice, "Um... I’ve already treated you twice today. After another three times, your wounds should be mostly healed... If you feel... uncomfortable at any point during the treatment, you can tell me anytime, and I can stop."
"...Mm."
The air fell into an awkward silence for a moment.
Shen Tang hurriedly patted her own cheeks. Once the heat on her face subsided a little, she turned and walked toward the bathroom. "I’ve paid the water bill here with my points, you can use as much as you want. I’ll set the water temperature for you. You sweated a lot, so go take a shower."
Earlier, while treating him, Shen Tang had also used her Healing Ability to conveniently clear out the residual pollutants in his body.
Over these years, Jin had eaten too many Mutant Species and drunk too much polluted water, so his internal pollution level was very high. If he hadn’t run into her, he would probably have died from his own toxins or mutated himself before the Hunting Leopard Clan caught him.
So aside from the thin layer of sweat on Jin’s solid body, some grime mixed with oil had also been expelled—exactly the pollutants from his body.
Shen Tang took out a set of men’s clothes from her Space and hurriedly handed them to him.
Xiao Jin took the clothes and obediently went to shower.
However, he turned the water to cold, letting himself calm down properly.
Especially his body...
After rinsing under the icy water for a while,
he finally returned to normal.
Then Xiao Jin put on the clothes. A simple T-shirt and long pants, the fabric was comfortable and they fit him very well.
What surprised him was that every set of clothes she gave him fit perfectly, as if they were tailored to his measurements.
Shen Tang sat at the edge of the bed. Hearing the water in the bathroom stop, she looked over in that direction.
A few minutes later, the rustle of dressing came from inside, and then Xiao Jin walked out.
The man was tall and straight, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, his muscle lines smooth and solid. Even covered by clothes, one could still tell he had the kind of sexy body that made people blush.
His black hair was still a bit damp, slightly longer than in her memory. The wet strands clung to his forehead and partially veiled his brows and eyes, yet they couldn’t hide the handsomeness of his features.
Sword-like brows and starry eyes, a high straight nose, sharply defined contours, and lips with elegant lines. The curve of his upper lip tilted up slightly, carrying a hint of unruly charm—simply a masterpiece of the creator.
Looking at the familiar face before her, Shen Tang’s gaze turned a little dazed.
Xiao Jin’s eyes fell on her face, his brows drawing together slightly.
...It was that look again.
It was as if she were gazing through him, at someone else.
Suppressing that trace of oddness in his heart, Xiao Jin pressed his lips together. His voice was low and hoarse. "I have something to ask you."
Shen Tang snapped back to herself and nodded. "What do you want to ask?"
Xiao Jin looked at her for quite a while before slowly speaking. "This time, what is it for again?"
Shen Tang froze for a moment, as if she didn’t understand.
Xiao Jin lowered his dark-gold eyes, staring at the little female’s bewildered face as he drawled, "Last time you fell off a cliff and ran into me by accident. This time is also an accident?"
How could there be so many coincidental "accidents" in this world.
In just a few days, she had "run into" him twice across tens of thousands of miles. If she said it was still a coincidence, even an idiot wouldn’t believe it.
It wasn’t an accident.
Then it could only be premeditated.
For once, Xiao Jin’s head was clear enough to think normally. He had thought about many things regarding the true identity of this little female in front of him.
Her looks, her superpower, all destined that she could not be ordinary.
She clearly knew his name, yet claimed she didn’t know him—why? This little female he had first taken for a fool was definitely not as simple and harmless as she appeared.
Why was she going to such lengths to get close to him?
A plant sent by his clan?
Impossible. The Hunting Leopard Clan had no need to do that. They had already sealed him in the Abyss and could easily join forces with other factions to hunt him down.
