Hong Li didn't learn about Zhang Chi's plight until half a month later. During that half month, she was busy making contacts with the higher-ups of the Sea Demon Clan, discussing the charter with the Human Alliance, without any idea of the dire straits Zhang Chi found himself in.
Once the discussions concluded half a month later, Hong Li excitedly took the prepared Alliance treaty to see the Snow Mountain God, only to come across Zhang Chi, who was sunbathing in the courtyard, on her way there.
Moved, Hong Li subconsciously descended into Zhang Chi's courtyard and materialized into human form beside him.
"Hey, how come you've lost so much weight after not seeing you for half a month?"
Hong Li curiously studied Zhang Chi. Cultivators' physiques are generally stable and don't change much, so what had happened to him?
Zhang Chi turned to glance at Hong Li, then weakly looked up at the sky again.
"Before, I was man scum, now, I'm 'medicine scum'."
Hong Li: "..."
