Chapter 149

"Oh my, Yuan Zhan, what happened to you?" Liu Yan exclaimed as she saw Yuan Zhan's forehead bleeding from a wound.

Xiao Han and Xiao Zimo both turned to look. Yuan Zhan seemed guilty, hastily explaining, "It's nothing, just a minor accident, bumped my head."

"How did you bump it so severely? You're bleeding! Let's get it bandaged up quickly!"

"Alright... I'll go bandage it up..." Yuan Zhan mumbled, immediately leaving this place that had overturned his understanding.

Liu Yan glanced at Xiao Han and Xiao Zimo, feeling out of place here, she followed Yuan Zhan.

Xiao Han glared at Xiao Zimo, "Xiao Zimo, are you going to give me the antidote or not?!"

Xiao Zimo looked at her, disappointment flickering in his eyes, "Do you really not want to stay by my side? Your medical skills are impressive, why not come with me to the Poison Valley?"

"Who wants to go to the Poison Valley with you? I want to go home!" Xiao Han retorted immediately.

"Home? Where's your home?"

"In..." Xiao Han paused, "My home isn't in this world!"

"What are you saying?"

Xiao Han rubbed her head in frustration, "Oh, you won't believe me anyway! My home is in another world! I'm not from here at all!"

Xiao Zimo furrowed his brows slightly, "Xiao Han, are you joking with me?"

"See, I told you, you wouldn't believe me!" Xiao Han shrugged, "Why do you insist on me going to the Poison Valley with you? Are you trying to take on an apprentice to pass on your medical skills?"

"You could think of it that way."

"Even if you were to be my master, I can't stay here forever! So, you better find another disciple!"

Xiao Zimo lowered his eyes, a dullness in them. It seemed Xiao Han really didn't want to stay by his side.

"I understand..."

Xiao Han approached him, trying to appease him, "Can you at least give me the antidote?"

"Xiao Han, I didn't poison you. I just noticed you didn't rest well yesterday, so I stimulated your acupuncture points a bit."

"..." Xiao Han straightened up immediately, hands on her hips, accusing, "Xiao Zimo, you're teasing me!"

With that, Xiao Han left angrily.

Xiao Zimo watched her figure, closed his eyes helplessly. What's the use of convincing himself? He couldn't convince Xiao Han anyway.

Meanwhile, Liu Yan was helping Yuan Zhan bandage the wound on his forehead.

"How did you bump your forehead? Why is it so serious?" Liu Yan asked casually.

Yuan Zhan hadn't even heard what Liu Yan said. He kept thinking about Xiao Zimo and Xiao Han.

How many years had he followed Xiao Zimo? He had never noticed Xiao Zimo liking men?

Was Xiao Han deliberately seducing the young master? Yes, it must be like this!

"Yuan Zhan?" Liu Yan waved her hand in front of his eyes.

Yuan Zhan snapped out of his thoughts, looking at Liu Yan, he stuttered, "Liu... Miss Liu, what's the matter?"

"What are you thinking about? You seemed lost in thought," Liu Yan asked.

Yuan Zhan hesitated for a moment before finally couldn't help but ask, "Have you noticed... something off between Xiao Han and young master at my home?"

"Hmm? What's off?" Liu Yan didn't quite understand Yuan Zhan's words for a moment.

"It's... nothing." Yuan Zhan didn't dare to say more, "Miss Liu, thank you for helping me bandage the wound."

Liu Yan smiled, her eyes curving into crescents, which somehow seemed adorable to Yuan Zhan.

"Do you really need to thank me for such a small matter? I've noticed you always speak sternly to Big Brother Xiao, I thought maybe you talk that way to everyone!"

"How could it be the same? Xiao Han is a man, and you're a lady. Naturally... one cannot be too rash when speaking to a lady," Yuan Zhan said somewhat uncomfortably.

Liu Yan paused for a moment, thinking that Xiao Han was also a lady, and smiled without saying anything.

...

After Yuan Zhan finished bandaging the wound, Xiao Zimo called him out, and the two went under the yellow-cornered tree.

Following Xiao Zimo's instructions, Yuan Zhan dug for a while and indeed unearthed something.

"Young Master, I found it!" Yuan Zhan patted the soil on top and handed the wrapped object to Xiao Zimo.

Xiao Zimo took the object and unwrapped the cloth covering its surface. "Indeed, it's a treasure map."

"Young Master, did you come back to Lotus Village just for this?" Yuan Zhan couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, this thing placed in Lotus Village will bring disaster to the whole village," Xiao Zimo said.

Although he and his father were driven out of Lotus Village by Old Man Xiao, this was still his birthplace, and he still had some feelings for it.

"Can this thing really turn back time and bring the dead back to life?" Yuan Zhan asked.

"It's not certain, but there will always be someone willing to try," Xiao Zimo put away the map.

Meanwhile, not far away, Xiao Han was squatting in a pile of grass, watching as Xiao Zimo put the treasure map into his arms.

She arrived here before Xiao Zimo, but before she could start looking, Xiao Zimo and the others arrived, so she had to hide.

"How can I get the treasure map from Xiao Zimo?"

Xiao Han scratched her head for a while but couldn't come up with a good idea!

The epidemic was about to end completely. If Xiao Zimo left Lotus Village, it would be even more difficult for them to get the treasure map!

While she was still dressed as a man, sleeping in the same room as Xiao Zimo, she must find an opportunity to get the treasure map first.

Midnight.

Xiao Han waited until Yuan Zhan and Xiao Zimo were both asleep before quietly getting up from the floor.

She stealthily approached the bed and saw Xiao Zimo sleeping soundly.

Xiao Han inexplicably stared at his face for a while, her gaze falling on his lips.

"So, kissing really does release dopamine, no wonder Mo Mo and the others all enjoy being in love!"

Xiao Han bent down, quietly pulled at Xiao Zimo's clothes, feeling extremely nervous.

But after flipping it twice and seeing that Xiao Zimo didn't wake up, her courage grew a little.

"Where did he hide it?" Xiao Han muttered to herself, her eyes looking downward. She paused, then suddenly reached out and undid Xiao Zimo's belt, running her hand over his waist. "It's on the back waist."

"Oh." Xiao Han's hand then moved to Xiao Zimo's back waist.

Just as she touched something, she immediately froze. Who was just talking??

She slowly raised her head to look at Xiao Zimo, who was staring at her with deep eyes.

"Did you find it?" Xiao Zimo asked again.

"Ah!" Xiao Han was startled and was about to get up, but Xiao Zimo flipped her over and pulled her onto the bed, covering her mouth with one hand to prevent her from screaming and holding her waist with the other, making her unable to move.

Yuan Zhan was awakened by Xiao Han's voice, sat up immediately, and was about to grab the sword next to him, but vaguely saw Xiao Zimo pressing Xiao Han on the bed.

"Oh my, dreaming! It must be a dream!" Yuan Zhan lay back down and went back to sleep.

Seeing Yuan Zhan fall back asleep, Xiao Zimo said, "Xiao Han, sneaking in to take advantage of me in the middle of the night?"

Xiao Zimo's words were gentle, but why did they sound so...

Her hands had undone Xiao Zimo's belt, and now, the clothes on his chest were slightly loose, revealing his chest beneath his collarbone.

Xiao Han blinked, signaling for him to remove his hand.

Xiao Zimo understood and removed his hand.

"Hehe, it's a misunderstanding!" Xiao Han explained with a forced laugh.

"Misunderstanding? Then what kind of misunderstanding is it? Are you trying to steal something?" Xiao Zimo pretended to be puzzled.

"No!" Xiao Han immediately denied, "I wasn't trying to steal from you! I just...I just thought your body structure is well-developed, which would help me study human anatomy and organs!"

"..."

Xiao Zimo looked at her, his gaze falling on her lips.

If he really liked men, would he also desire Xiao Han's body?

To confirm whether he truly liked men, Xiao Zimo leaned in closer to her and whispered, "Xiao Han, how about we both take off our clothes and study each other?"

As Xiao Zimo spoke, he reached for Xiao Han's belt.

Xiao Han was startled and quickly pressed his hand down, "No no no, I...I'm more conservative, hehe, not used to others seeing my body."

"We're both men, what's wrong with looking at each other? When you touched my whole body just now, that wasn't conservative."

"...I didn't touch your whole body..."

"Then what did you touch, do I need to get it back?"

As Xiao Zimo spoke, he took the opportunity to open Xiao Han's shirt, revealing a hint of a bellyband and partially exposed chest in front of him.

Xiao Zimo's hand froze, and he was petrified on the spot.

"Ah..." Xiao Han quickly pulled up his shirt, covering his chest, and took advantage of Xiao Zimo's daze to break free, jumping off the bed.

Oops...my vest fell off...

And it fell off in such an awkward situation!

"Xiao Zimo, are you satisfied now?" Xiao Han ran out the door without looking back.

Xiao Zimo lay stunned on the bed, completely unable to recover from the shock.

Xiao Han... she's a girl??

She's actually a girl!!
