What kind of attitude does this guy have? She was simply concerned about his injury, not trying to have any inappropriate thoughts about him, so why was he acting like she was some kind of threat?
Shen Tang felt really aggrieved, but she kept thinking about it while lying in bed that night.
After all, Jia Lan was her target to win over, so she couldn’t just ignore him completely.
If it were just a minor injury, it would be fine, but she feared that stubborn guy might be hiding a serious problem.
Besides, ever since Shen Tang acquired her Healing Ability, she hadn’t found a test subject to experiment on properly, so she didn’t know to what extent she could heal.
She decided to go check on him.
In the middle of the night, after everyone was asleep, Shen Tang got up and went to Jia Lan’s room.
She knocked on the door.
Inside, a slightly weak voice quickly responded, "Who is it?"
Shen Tang replied, "It’s me."
After a few seconds of silence inside, Jia Lan’s cold and pleasant voice came through, "What do you want in the middle of the night?"
"You’re injured, I can help treat you. It’s cold outside, let me in and we can discuss it," she said as she turned the doorknob.
"Wait a moment!"
Slight rustling and fabric brushing sounds came from inside the room.
A few minutes later.
Jia Lan said, "Come in."
The room wasn’t locked, so Shen Tang pushed the door open and entered, immediately spotting Jia Lan half propped up against the headboard of the bed.
Moonlight filtered in through the window, and his face looked even worse than it had that evening, faintly pale and transparent, making it seem quite unreal.
"What exactly do you want?" Jia Lan glanced coldly at Shen Tang, "If you’re delivering medicine, just leave it on the table."
"Ordinary medicine won’t do much for your injury, will it?"
Jia Lan’s face stiffened; he hadn’t expected her to figure that out.
His physique was unique, rejecting ordinary medications, so the available healing medicines were useless for him.
In Shen Tang’s palm, a faint green light gathered, her face showing a gentle smile. "A few days ago, I accidentally awakened a Healing Ability. Maybe I can help you."
Seeing the green light in her palm, the icy facade on Jia Lan’s face cracked. This female had unexpectedly awakened a Healing Ability?
Among the Empire’s females, almost all awakened with only spiritual power abilities. Those who awakened with a second superpower were few and far between, and he hadn’t expected Shen Tang to awaken both an Earth Element Ability and a Healing Ability.
How did she manage that?
Shen Tang couldn’t come up with a reasonable explanation, so she decided not to bother and just said she had awakened accidentally.
Let them doubt all they want; she didn’t know the answer, even if they asked.
Jia Lan confirmed several times that her Healing Ability was genuine because even from a distance, he could sense the faint warmth emitted by the green light.
After hesitating for a moment, he pursed his lips and said, "You can try it."
Shen Tang noticed his reluctant expression and thought: Since when does a doctor have to beg a patient to accept treatment? This mermaid really doesn’t know what’s good for him!
Fortunately, she had achieved her goal. Shen Tang hurriedly sat by the bed, afraid he’d refuse in the next second.
As Shen Tang moved closer, Jia Lan instinctively recoiled, turning his head away, not even wanting to look at her; even his hair seemed to radiate strong resistance.
Shen Tang was exasperated, "Come on, brother, I’m here to treat your injury, not take your life, seriously?"
Jia Lan turned his head, a vein throbbing on his forehead, "Who’s your brother? You’re just a month older than me."
Shen Tang quickly said, "Yes, yes, then should I call you little bro?"
Jia Lan’s face looked even worse, and Shen Tang suspected that if it weren’t for her Healing Ability being somewhat useful, this stubborn guy would have told her to get lost right away.
"Just get on with it," Jia Lan said impatiently, too tired to argue further.
Shen Tang nodded, glancing over him from head to toe, but he was wearing several layers, not even exposing his arms, so she couldn’t determine where his injury was.
