"Father!"
Qiao Lie knelt by the bed, his eyes red-rimmed.
Qiao Xixi hadn't expected Sunxiao to be so grievously injured.
The blood didn't show on his crimson beast-hide clothes, but it dripped continuously from the hem.
Sunxiao was already fair-skinned, but with so much blood loss, his lips had turned almost transparently pale.
'Sunxiao helped Hei Zong defend Demon Beast City, for crying out loud. Didn't Hei Zong even get him a witch doctor?'
'No, wait.'
'I'm the witch doctor of Demon Beast City now, aren't I?'
'So, is this why Hei Zong had me come live here?'
"Mother, please save him, okay?"
Qiao Lie turned and gripped the corner of Qiao Xixi's clothes tightly.
Qiao Xixi had never seen him like this before, and her heart ached for him.
"Don't be afraid. Mother will take a look at him."
Qiao Lie let go of Qiao Xixi and returned to the bedside.
To get a better look at his injuries, Qiao Xixi had to remove his beast-hide clothing.
