Tiger Might and the rest followed the black-robed men to the residential area.

Xiao Jin brought Su Ying and her group to the palace.

“How did you deal with those people?” As Su Ying walked, she discovered that the black-robed men were all neatly lined up in the city.

“Let them be the city guards for now.”

Su Ying nodded. These people were all skilled in martial arts, so it was best to make them guards.

“Welcome back to the palace, Empress.”

As soon as Su Ying entered the palace, everyone knelt down in front of her.

Su Ying’s eyebrows twitched. She was very uncomfortable with the word “Empress.” “Don’t call me ‘Empress.’ I don’t like it.”

Xiao Jin did not expect her to reject that moniker. “You’re not willing to be Empress?”

“I can accept being addressed as ‘City Lord’.”

Xiao Jin turned to look at the people kneeling on the ground. “Did all of you hear that?”

“Yes, City Lord.”

Xiao Jin brought Su Ying to the sleeping chamber. This was where Wei Ji had slept previously. There were two side chambers on both sides of the sleeping chamber for Aunt Zhao and the others to stay in.

The kitchen was at the back of the palace, and there were a few rooms beside it. Hea Shouyi and the others were temporarily arranged to stay there.

Bai Shuang and the women could live in the empty rooms on the lower floor, but Tian Mu and his wife, and Cheng Ming and his mother were not willing to live in the palace. They felt that this place should be where Su Ying and her family stayed. It was more suitable for them to follow Tiger Might to the residential area.

“What do you think?” Su Ying looked at Xiao Jin.

Xiao Jin nodded. “Sure.”

Su Ying murmured her concurrence and didn’t force them to stay. After they had chosen a house in the residential area, they only need to register.

The things in the palace were extremely luxurious. Su Ying lay on the big bed and felt that it was extremely soft, but she still got someone to remove all the bedding and replace it with her own stuff.

“You guys have been on the road for one whole day. Everyone is tired. If there’s anything, we’ll talk about it tomorrow.”

Su Ying murmured her reply. If it weren’t for the fact that she was still hungry, she would have fallen asleep.

“Uncle Hea and the rest have already gone to prepare the food. Eat first before sleeping.”

Su Ying mumbled a vague reply. The previous battle had taken a big toll on her, and she had been forcing herself to hold on for the past few days. Now that she had relaxed a little, she was about to let go of all the worries on her mind.

Eventually, Su Ying fell asleep while in a daze.

Xiao Jin did not wake her up when he saw her sleeping so soundly. Instead, he carefully carried her to the bed. However, when he touched her skin, he unexpectedly discovered something and his brows furrowed deeply.

He reached out and touched her forehead. It was burning hot.

Did this woman not realize that she was sick?

Su Ying’s body wasn’t weak, so she wouldn’t fall sick for no reason. Her sudden fever was most likely because the wounds on her body weren’t treated in time.

When he thought of this, Xiao Jin undid her dress and found a long wound on her lower back. He loosened the bandages and saw that the wound was red and swollen, and some thick pus was flowing out.

Sure enough, it was because her wound was not treated properly.

Xiao Jin felt helpless and his heart ached. She was always so uncaring about her body.

After carefully covering her with the blanket, he got up and rummaged through the medicine box. Previously, Su Ying had stocked up some commonly used medicine in the medicine box.

After Xiao Jin found the right medicine, he went back again to treat her wound and even fed her the medicine.

Su Ying felt a burning pain in her lower back. It was so painful that her entire body was burning up. Her body felt so hot that she kicked the blanket off her body again and again.

When her body was burning, she felt someone wiping her four limbs and neck with a warm towel, which greatly reduced the heat on her body.

After an unknown period of time, she started shivering. She felt cold and the coldness that emanated from the inside to the outside enveloped her. She shivered and curled up into a ball, trying to find a source of warmth, but her surroundings were icy cold.

Suddenly, a wave of heat came from behind her, and she subconsciously leaned closer to the other party.

The other party’s warmth quickly spread throughout her body, and the shivering on Su Ying’s body gradually subsided.

Su Ying slowly opened her eyes and realized that she was being held in someone’s arms.

She stirred, and Xiao Jin reached out to touch her forehead without even opening his eyes. He only opened his eyes when he found that the temperature on her forehead had subsided.

Su Ying pushed him away and tried to sit up, but the movement aggravated the wound on her lower back, causing her to gasp out in pain.

“Don’t move rashly. The wound has just healed a little.”

Su Ying frowned. “Did I fall sick?”

Xiao Jin’s eyes were filled with faint fatigue, but the suppressed anger was more visible. “Su Ying, can’t you take your body seriously? Do you not care about your own life at all? Or do you feel that you have nothing to worry about and so can be fearless?”

Xiao Jin’s series of questions stunned Su Ying. When she left the Sky Alpha City and returned to the Tiger Base, she had taken care to go into her interspatiai store to clean her wound. However, she had been so busy after the incident that she had forgotten to change her dressing and take her medicine. She had not expected the wound on her lower back to become inflamed.

As she looked at Xiao Jin holding back his anger, Su Ying suddenly swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. “1’11 be more careful next time.”

“You said the same thing last time!”

Su Ying licked her lips. Her lips were a little dry, probably because she had been unconscious for some time. She raised her eyes to look at Xiao Jin in a rare display of weakness. “I’m a little hungry. Does that mean I’ve recovered quite well? Can 1 eat meat? 1 want to eat meat.”

When he saw her like this, the anger in Xiao Jin’s heart inexplicably dissipated. It was as if he had punched a wad of cotton that absorbed all of his foul temper.

However, he still said with a stern face, “You still want to eat meat? Dream on.”

Su Ying’s eyebrows twitched. “I’m already so badly injured, yet you still refuse to give me a bite of meat?”

Xiao Jin shot her a glance, got off the bed, and walked out.

“Men are indeed heartless creatures.”

Just as Su Ying was about to go look for something to eat, the door to the chamber was pushed open. Xiao Jin walked in with a food container. When he saw that Su Ying had already gotten up, he frowned. “What are you doing up?”

When Su Ying saw the food container, all thoughts in her mind instantly vanished.

“Waiting for you.”

Xiao Jin placed the food container on the table and watched as she eagerly took out the food inside.

Su Ying looked at the three dishes and soup in front of her. Sure enough, there was no meat.

She took a bun and ate it. Mmm. Although the bun contained vegetarian filling, it was prepared using b.u.t.ter. Indeed, Uncle Hea and the others were still more humane.

A dozen buns, a large bowl of soup, and two plates of vegetables were all swept into Su Ying’s stomach in the blink of an eye. After she finished eating, she patted her stomach as if she still hadn’t eaten enough.

“What time is it now? Is it time for dinner?”

Xiao Jin was utterly speechless.

This time, Su Ying had to wait until her wound had scabbed over and no longer needed to have medicine applied before Xiao Jin allowed her out of the palace.

As she breathed in the icy cold air outside, Su Ying felt refreshed.

“City Lord, have you recovered?” When the Green Guardian saw Su Ying walking out, he went forward to ask with concern. Although he was speaking with concern, when paired with his expressionless face, it really made people feel that they were putting on an act..
