Why did she end up stuck down here?

“OWWW… OWWW…” howled Cheng Xiaoxiao a few times.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was worried about waking Chu Yunshen up, so she purposely kept her voice down when she yelled in pain. It made the scene even stranger.

She was done howling.

No one could achieve success without pain!

Cheng Xiaoxiao rooted for herself!

If Ziwei from a famous television drama could withstand Nanny Rong’s clip stick torture, Cheng Xiaoxiao could bear with the pain and climb out of the well too!

Wasn’t Chu Yunshen more gorgeous than Ziwei’s boyfriend?

The thought of it made her a little motivated.

The unconscious gorgeous man and a fierce female ghost would certainly make an odd team.

In reality, Cheng Xiaoxiao had considered giving up.

Transmigration and rebirth sounded like marvelous experiences.

Why did she end up becoming a ghost catcher, injured, and kept getting in trouble after she transmigrated?

Cheng Xiaoxiao felt miserable but the moment she thought about Chu Yunshen frowning in his sleep with his face ghastly pale, she could not help feeling teary-eyed.

Ever since Chu Yunshen had gotten injured, images of him kept surfacing before her eyes, especially his lovely dark eyes.

She had gotten held up here for a long time. It was easy to get into the well, but it was genuinely hard to climb out.

Cheng Xiaoxiao fell back into the well for the Nth time and had already lost count of the number of times she had failed.

She was truly in a pathetic state and almost as tragic as Long Kui from a television drama when she first entered the demon tower.

HUUU!

She was really exhausted.

She was genuinely sapped.

Cheng Xiaoxiao fell to the ground and looked paralyzed.

Since she had been working for so long, she couldn’t help feeling tired the moment she relaxed.

Her bangs were plastered to her forehead from sweat in messy circles and sweat covered her nose.

If the Fairy Dress did not possess celestial qualities, it would have gotten sticky by now.

Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at Chu Yunshen beside her. She wanted to reach her hand out and smooth Chu Yunshen’s furrowed brows and check his wounds, but she decided against it in the end.

Her hands were trembling hard from the overexertion.

She was afraid of hurting Chu Yunshen.

For the first time in her life, she felt that the protective man was vulnerable. He was so fragile that he needed her protection.

The sun gradually set. Cheng Xiaoxiao could hear that the yard remained quiet.

Inside the dried well, only her and Chu Yunshen’s breathing was audible.

Cheng Xiaoxiao didn’t dare to touch Chu Yunshen. She merely pulled him from the well’s wall and placed his head on her lap, so he could rest easier.

Her fingers were pale from losing a lot of blood and it was covered with dried blood and ghastly wounds.

The back of her hands was burning in pain as well. She only noticed a deep bloody gash at the back of her hand when she turned her hands around.

She raised her hands and kept turning them around to examine them and could not help feeling miserable.

Why was she doing this for a man

Since he had saved her many times, she considered it returning his favors.

Precisely! She was just repaying a debt.

“Eh…” Chu Yunshen moaned in Cheng Xiaoxiao’s arms and made her snap out of her thoughts.

Was he waking up?

What should she do? She could not let him see her. Otherwise, how could she explain herself?

Cheng Xiaoxiao hurriedly tried to pull her legs out from under his head, but an excruciating pain stopped her. She was incapable of moving.

Perhaps she was so genuinely accustomed to being a cat that she promptly closed her eyes.

Time seemed to come to a standstill. Cheng Xiaoxiao did not know how much time had passed, but Chu Yunshen did not rouse.

That was odd. Why didn’t he have any reaction?

Cheng Xiaoxiao opened her eyes slightly. Since she had kept her eyes closed all this time, she had gotten accustomed to the light in the well.

No reaction still? He hadn’t woken up yet.

Had he passed out completely?

Chu Yunshen lay on Cheng Xiaoxiao’s lap peacefully.

If not for the agony on his face and his furrowed brows, Cheng Xiaoxiao would have thought she was in an idol drama.

This time, Cheng Xiaoxiao wasn’t too concerned about Chu Yunshen’s pain. She reached her hands out to remove his outer robe and check on his injuries.

She could sense that he was burning when she touched Chu Yunshen’s neck.

Why was he so warm?

Cheng Xiaoxiao placed her forehead against Chu Yunshen and sensed waves of heat radiating from him nonstop.

“He’s really having a fever. Did his wounds get infected?”

Cheng Xiaoxiao attempted to lower his fever by embracing him with her cool body.

She had broken out in cold sweat from her injuries, so she was cold. Since Chu Yunshen was having a fever, her body felt comfortable to the touch.

Chu Yunshen instinctively came closer to Cheng Xiaoxiao, but it wasn’t enough to lower his temperature.

Before long, his breathing quickly became ragged.

His face was turning unusually red from the fever as he opened his mouth and muttered something inaudible.

Cheng Xiaoxiao lowered her head and placed her ear near Chu Yunshen’s face to listen closely. However, Chu Yunshen’s voice was so soft that she could not make out what he was saying at all.

“Is he getting confused from his fever?”

Cheng Xiaoxiao started to blame herself. If she did not bring Chu Yunshen into the well, he would not end up having this fever that she was incapable of stopping.

“Hey, Chu Yunshen! Wake up.” Cheng Xiaoxiao patted Chu Yunshen’s head particularly carefully in an attempt to rouse him.

“Stop scaring me. Hang in there. Xiaowu and the others will save us when they get back.”

Cheng Xiaoxiao was worried that Chu Yunshen would pass out completely from the fever, so she kept talking to him to keep him awake.

“Chu Yunshen, don’t sleep. If you become an idiot from this fever, I will run off to Chu Hongyi. After all, he treats me far better than you.” Cheng Xiaoxiao tried to agitate him as she secretly observed Chu Yunshen’s reaction.

“Aren’t you possessive about your cat? I am sure you can’t stand the thought of your lion cat running off to someone else, right?”

Sure enough, Chu Yunshen struggled to open his eyes as he said something quickly.

Cheng Xiaoxiao chanted quietly in her heart and prayed for him to wake up!

Chu Yunshen’s mind was confused the entire time. For a moment, he could hear a girl talking nonstop like the sparrows outside his quarters in the palace when he was young.

Even though he was exhausted, the voice kept telling him not to sleep.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was oblivious to the fact that Chu Yunshen hadn’t completely lost consciousness. She continued talking to him nonstop and even hugged him while she talked.

“Hey, Chu Yunshen. Why don’t I tell you about my story? I am sure you don’t know how I ended up here, right? I died while I was taking part in a food-eating competition and transmigrated into the lion cat’s body. It was such bad luck…” Cheng Xiaoxiao noticed Chu Yunshen moving when she said this, so she thought Chu Yunshen was interested in her story.

“Do you want to hear more? Then you have to wake up. I am a first-class storyteller, so you are in luck…”

Chu Yunshen kept struggling in her arms for a long time and his voice was becoming louder.

“Huh? What? Speak up. I can’t hear you.” Cheng Xiaoxiao placed her ear beside Chu Yunshen’s lips once more and finally caught what he said.

“Water… I am thirsty.”

Cheng Xiaoxiao was at a greater loss when she heard what Chu Yunshen said. “So that was what you wanted!”

“But there isn’t any water in here. Can you bear with it?”

Cheng Xiaoxiao sounded as though she was coaxing a child as she stroked Chu Yunshen’s dark hair gently.

“Mother… I’m thirsty…”

The moment Cheng Xiaoxiao heard what Chu Yunshen called her, she could not help feeling agitated.

“Hey! I am so young. How could you call me mother?”

Chu Yunshen didn’t answer and simply repeated himself.

“Mother, I’m so cold and thirsty…”

Cheng Xiaoxiao had never seen Chu Yunshen in this state before. The man seemed to repeatedly change her impression of him today.

In the past, Chu Yunshen had a lofty presence, but he finally sounded like a normal guy today.

Cheng Xiaoxiao sensed a sharp pain in her heart that felt like there were ants gnawing it.

She recalled the dampness on the moss when she attempted to climb the wall and she had an idea.

“Hang on, Chu Yunshen. I will try to get you some water. I’ll be back real soon.”

Cheng Xiaoxiao regained her energy. She stood up and went to feel around the moss with great motivation.

She held the moss in her palms devoutly with the utmost care.

She was afraid she might spill whatever that was left of the dew, so she swallowed the pain shooting from her ankle as she did her best to walk steadily.

“Chu Yunshen, have some water!” Cheng Xiaoxiao placed the moss beside Chu Yunshen’s lips and gently wetted his lips that were parched from the loss of blood.

Chu Yunshen sensed a cool liquid entering his lips, so he instinctively licked.

“Chu Yunshen? Are you awake?”

Cheng Xiaoxiao called him a few times when she noticed some reaction coming from Chu Yunshen.

Initially, she was just trying her luck, but Chu Yunshen shockingly opened his eyes.

“Are you awake?! Finally…”

Chu Yunshen’s eyes were as brilliant as stars and Cheng Xiaoxiao kept looking at them.

Cheng Xiaoxiao cried in joy but didn’t dare to look him in the eye and veered her head instead.

“Erm… I’m a fairy. I saved you, okay?”

Cheng Xiaoxiao was still wondering how to explain her situation when Chu Yunshen closed his eyes once again in her arms.

“Erm… I was sent by heaven to save you!”

Cheng Xiaoxiao finally turned around when she had mentally prepared herself only to see Chu Yunshen unconscious again.

Could he have…?

She trembled as she spoke before she placed her index finger under Chu Yunshen’s nose.

“Phew… Thank god… He only fainted.”

However, she continued brainwashing Chu Yunshen.

“Since I saved you, you have to repay me with your body! Otherwise, I did it for nothing.”

After she was done brainwashing him, she started to get him more dew.

Despite that, it was no help with Chu Yunshen’s fever.

Chu Yunshen kept muttering in a daze, “Mother, I’m thirsty…”
