Li Wanji walked to the bed, sat down, and looked at Wen Daochen calmly.

Wen Daochen smiled weakly: "Wan Ji, it is a blessing to be saved this time. I, Wen Daochen, owe you my life."

Li Wanji shook her head: "Brother Daochen, you are too kind. I helped you only because of morality, not because of your reward."

Hearing this, Wen Daochen's eyes gradually dimmed, as if shrouded in a layer of haze.

He stared at Li Wanji's face for a long time, and finally sighed and said slowly: "Wanji, this time I thought I would die, but I didn't expect to be reborn. When I was hovering on the edge of life and death, I thought about many things."

Li Wanji frowned slightly, not knowing what Wen Daochen meant by suddenly saying this.

Wen Daochen continued, "I realized that I was too obsessed with my humble self-esteem before, so I didn't know how to express my emotions, which created a gap between you and me. Now when I think about it, I really regret it."

When Li Wanji heard this, her heart moved, and she vaguely sensed the deeper meaning in Wen Daochen's words.

"Brother Daochen, you..." She spoke tentatively.

"Wan Ji, I heard from Brother Mo that you gave me the Nine-turn Soul-Restoring Golden Pill that you had treasured for a long time to prolong my life. I guess you care about me, right?"

Wen Daochen's voice trembled slightly because of nervousness. He stared at Li Wanji closely, afraid to miss any expression on her face.

Li Wanji said seriously: "Brother Daochen, the golden elixir is nothing but a thing outside of my body. Your life is hanging by a thread, so I can't just stand by and watch. As for whether I care or not, I think we are comrades-in-arms and companions, so of course I care."

Wen Daochen smiled bitterly. Li Wanji was really a cruel woman. She said so much without leaving him any illusions.

But when he returned from a life-and-death experience, he found that his feelings for her had never changed, and had even become stronger.

If I can't fight for myself, how can I deserve this chance of rebirth?

"Wanji, are you almost forgetting that we once had a romantic time together?"

Li Wanji was slightly stunned. She didn't expect Wen Daochen to suddenly mention the past, because she always felt that he was not the kind of person who would be nostalgic.

When she first met Wen Daochen, she was struck by him at first sight. His unrestrained temperament and handsome appearance made Li Wanji feel good about him.

In addition, his outstanding talent and high-quality bloodline as Emperor Jiang made Li Wanji look at him with even greater respect.

This is how they invited each other to spend a one-night stand under the moon and flowers.

However, after that night, Li Wanji discovered that Wen Daochen's character was far from what she had imagined.

He was conceited by nature and only regarded their relationship as a casual affair, which he distanced himself from and never mentioned again.

Li Wanji was not a person who would drag her feet. Since the other party had no intention, she would not force it. She tacitly let the matter go and just regarded it as a fleeting romance.

But I didn't expect that Wen Daochen would bring up the old matter again at this time.

Li Wanji looked distant and chuckled, "We were just distracted and infatuated for a while, so why should we keep thinking about it? Brother Daochen, I don't think you are someone who would be trapped by the past."

Her nonchalant look hurt Wen Daochen's heart. He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh, but he still tried his best to control his emotions, not wanting to lose his composure in front of Li Wanji.

"Wanji, I am serious. I loved you before without knowing it, but now I have come to my senses and found that you are the one I am thinking of in my heart."

Wen Daochen's voice was a little hoarse. He stared at Li Wanji with a pleading look in his eyes.

Li Wanji was shocked. Wen Daochen had always been proud and never bothered to bow to anyone, but now he lowered himself for her and said these words. It was obvious that he was really moved.

However, Li Wanji's heart was calm.

She had seen many men like Wen Daochen. He used to be so arrogant, but now it was just because of the changing times and the filter of the life-saving grace that made him feel that he was different from others.

Now that he is acting out this scene of passionate pursuit of his wife, he just wants to cling to her, which is a bit ridiculous.

"Brother Daochen, you are still seriously injured, so you should rest well. We will talk about these things later."

As she spoke, she stood up and prepared to leave. She didn't want to give Wen Daochen any illusions, nor did she want to get herself into unnecessary trouble.

However, Wen Daochen refused to give up. He struggled to sit up from the bed and reached out to grab Li Wanji's sleeve.

However, he did not expect that he now had no spiritual power at all. This action affected the wound, and blood immediately flowed out, staining his clothes red.

Li Wanji was startled and quickly supported him, frowning and said, "What are you doing? Lie down quickly!"

"Wanji, it hurts so much here." Wen Daochen pointed to his heart, staring at Li Wanji, the affection in his eyes almost overflowing.

He had secretly observed Tu Shanyi and Li Wanji getting along with each other. It was with this lifeless appearance that the boy won Wanji's heart.

Wen Daochen has now learned the lesson, showing weakness and pretending to be pitiful, methods that he used to disdain, but now he uses them.

Li Wanji looked at Wen Daochen's pitiful appearance and couldn't help feeling moved.

Although she had no feelings for Wen Daochen, they had been comrades and companions for so long, and she still felt a little reluctant to see him in so much pain.

Li Wanji took out a "Xuanling Pill" from her storage ring and handed it to Wen Daochen, saying softly, "Take the pill first and take a good rest. I'll call Brother Mo to come over and take a closer look at it for you."

At least the clothes that are bleeding need to be changed first, otherwise if the wound gets infected, it may cause a serious illness.

Wen Daochen was delighted to see that Li Wanji did not directly reject him. He quickly took the pill and swallowed it, then lay back on the bed obediently.

He secretly observed Li Wanji's expression, and seeing that she did not show any disgust or impatience, he felt more confident.

"Wan Ji, Brother Mo is out on a mission today, you don't need to bother him. I know my own body well. There's nothing wrong with it."

Li Wanji frowned slightly when she heard this. She knew Mo Yunting's style of doing things. He would not easily leave the base unless it was necessary.

She turned to look at Wen Daochen, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes: "Brother Mo is on a mission? Why didn't I hear him mention it?"

Wen Daochen's heart tightened, thinking that he had spoken out of turn. He had wanted to tell some lies to deceive Li Wanji and let her stay and take care of him, but he didn't expect that it would arouse her suspicion.

He quickly explained: "Oh, maybe Brother Mo thought it was not a big deal, so he didn't tell you. Don't worry, I'm really fine."

As he said this, he began to reach out to untie the bloody clothes on his body.

Seeing this, Li Wanji hurriedly stopped him: "Brother Daochen, you are injured, you should not move. Let me help you."
