Chapter 11

In the following days, Zilan enjoyed various radish dishes prepared in different ways by the little nine-tailed fox.

Radish strips, radish cakes, radish pancakes, caramelized radish, steamed radish, dried radish, radish sticks…

Although Zilan didn’t understand why he was getting radishes every day, Xueli’s radish dishes were incredibly diverse and imaginative. She happily brought him the food she prepared, eagerly watching him eat. Each time he finished a radish, the little nine-tailed fox showed immense delight.

So, Zilan assumed that she simply had a special fondness for radishes and that’s why she prepared so many different dishes. He quietly finished each meal.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

It was time for the medicine on Zilan’s wounds to be changed.

Unlike the day when Zilan had fallen from the sky and she had been nervous, Xueli was now fully prepared.

Whether it was Zilan’s large wolf form or the severe injuries on his body, Xueli had never encountered anything like this before, so she was exceptionally cautious. The most severe injuries on Zilan’s body were undoubtedly the three claw marks on his back.

Resorting to conventional treatment methods, Xueli diligently ground the herbs, prepared the bandages, and readied water. With a cheerful spirit, she went to find the snow wolf.

That afternoon, Zilan saw Xueli appear in front of him, carrying a small basket.

After spending several days in the realm, Zilan had grown accustomed to Xueli’s visits. He had learned to anticipate when she would come to check on him. Seeing her arrive at an unusual time made him slightly surprised. However, his keen sense of smell immediately detected a stronger scent of herbs on Xueli than usual. He realized that she had come to change his medicine.

The little nine-tailed fox didn’t waste any time. She put down the basket, emitted a few “howls,” and then raised her tail, indicating that she was ready to assist him.

Xueli took a small plate of food from the basket and placed it in front of him.

At first, Zilan assumed it was radishes, like usual, perhaps a snack for him. However, upon closer inspection, he realized that the plate actually contained honey jujubes, several of them, each round and large.

Xueli actually felt a bit guilty about secretly having the snow wolf eat radishes every day. Bringing honey jujubes was her way of making his medicine-changing process a bit sweeter. Given the severity of his injuries, changing the bandages could be painful, and having something sweet in his mouth might make it more bearable. Besides that, she was worried that feeding him radishes every day might lead him to become tired of them.

Gently, she tapped the area near the snow wolf’s mouth with her little paw, indicating for him to open it.

Zilan hesitated momentarily, subconsciously wanting to speak.

But before he could utter a word, a sweet jujube was quickly stuffed into his mouth. The sugary taste spread within, and he looked at the little nine-tailed fox in surprise.

However, as Xueli put the jujube into his mouth, she whisked her tail and left to change his medicine.

Zilan could only watch her busily go about her tasks.

Xueli climbed onto him, gently unwrapped the old bandages on his body, agilely hopped off, cleaned the wounds with water, and then reapplied the new medicine.

Previously, Xueli’s medicine focused on stopping bleeding and preventing wound infection. However, this time, Zilan’s wounds had stopped bleeding and were starting to scab over. Thus, Xueli used herbs that would aid in wound healing.

She carefully cleaned the dried blood around the wounds, quickly staining the water red.

Zilan silently chewed on the honey jujube, staying still while Xueli worked.

Upon reflection, he realized this was the first time he had been awake to witness Xueli changing his medicine.

He had suspected that Xueli had been treating his injuries, but that had been more of a half-belief. Now, he felt sure about it.

However, he couldn’t help feeling a bit uncomfortable.

When the little fox was changing his medicine, he could feel her small paws lightly tapping and moving around the areas of his body without injuries, creating a slightly ticklish sensation. Although it was a medicinal process, having her paws touch him like that made him feel rather bashful.

He felt awkward and didn’t want to disturb her, so he kept his body still and silently continued to chew on the honey jujube.

Soon enough, Zilan noticed that Xueli was exceptionally skilled.

Her movements were swift and smooth, agilely running and jumping in her fox form. She changed the bandages quickly and with great skill. Despite the severity of his injuries, the process of changing the bandages wasn’t as painful as he had anticipated.

Zilan had initially thought that Xueli would transform into her human form to change his bandages. After all, having hands in human form would make the process more convenient. However, she remained in her fox form and continued to move around.

There was only one possible explanation – Xueli had become so proficient at changing the bandages in her fox form that she considered transforming into a human form unnecessary for such a simple task.

In reality, Xuelu’s choice of staying in her fox form didn’t affect the process. Her posture was relaxed, her movements were graceful, and Zilan was even amazed to find that Xueli’s healing abilities might surpass those of the medical immortals in the Wolf Realm. His wounds had visibly improved in just five days, much better than before. If they were in the Wolf Realm,

His wounds had never healed this smoothly before.

This astonishing discovery shook Zilan’s heart. He was curious about Xueli’s healing abilities and even contemplated consuming another Language Pill to see if he could gain more information. However, he hesitated, knowing that there were only two pills left and their duration was so short. Since Xueli wasn’t currently speaking aloud, taking the pill could likely be wasteful. He suppressed his thoughts and continued to lie down, obediently receiving the treatment.

In this moment, Xueli was equally amazed by the snow wolf’s reaction.

She noticed that the snow wolf had an impressive tolerance for pain.

Despite his severe injuries, even after five days of applying medicine, though the bleeding had stopped, scabs had yet to form. With wounds as extensive as his, the medicine had adhered to the flesh and was causing pain, no matter how careful and skillful Xueli was, it would have still been quite painful.

Yet, throughout the entire process of changing the medicine, the snow wolf remained calm. His brow stayed furrowed, and his deep gaze remained serene. Even during the most painful moments, he only emitted a muffled grunt. If not for the fact that Xueli had treated numerous patients in the Immortal Realm and understood the situation, one might have suspected that he wasn’t feeling much pain at all.

Impressed, she couldn’t help but look at the snow wolf a few more times.

However, Zilan himself wasn’t aware of these thoughts. Snow wolves were adept at concealing their discomfort. They were composed and resolute, never showing any signs of weakness. As the son of the Wolf King, Zilan was already accustomed to this and didn’t consider it extraordinary.

Due to the multitude of wounds on Zilan’s body, the process of changing the medicine lasted for two hours.

Finally, Xueli had finished changing all the medicine. The sun had already set, and she watched her handiwork with satisfaction. She gave herself a shake and said to the snow wolf, “That’s it for now! These medicinal herbs have long-lasting effects. I’ll come back in five days to change to the next stage of medicine. Rest well in the meantime!”

After the medicine was changed, Zilan could feel that his body was more comfortable than before. He observed the little fox bounce around in front of him, seemingly conveying something, but he couldn’t understand. Thus, he silently watched her.

Fortunately, Xueli didn’t think he could understand her. She packed up the medicine box and carefully placed a blanket over the snow wolf. She advised, “The medicine I applied today has a mild sedative effect. You should sleep deeply tonight. Be careful not to get cold. I’ll come check on you tomorrow morning.”

With that, the little fox waved her tail at him and picked up the basket before running off.

Zilan watched Xueli depart and noticed that the sky was turning dark after she left.

As she had predicted, the medicine Xueli applied had a calming and sedative effect. Soon after she left, Zilan’s eyelids began to feel heavy, and before long, he couldn’t resist closing them. He drifted into a deep sleep.

…

Zilan had a remarkably peaceful night’s sleep. Since falling from the Ninth Heaven, this was the first time he had slept so soundly.

He slept through the night without waking or dreaming. When he finally woke up, the morning light was already bright, and the cheerful chirping of birds surrounded him.

Zilan furrowed his brows, and his paws trembled slightly. He shifted his body slowly and opened his eyes.

But as soon as he did, Zilan immediately realized that his body felt different from yesterday.

The medicine Xueli applied yesterday was meant to aid in wound healing. After a night of deep sleep, he noticed that his wounds weren’t as painful anymore, and his strength had visibly improved.

Zilan flexed his brows and moved his paws slightly. He then struggled to sit up and laboriously rose from the ground.
