"This ointment seems different...?"
Jinyue tucked her tail and pushed her knees together as the burning feeling on her reddening jade foot increased.
Yino glanced at her and said calmly:
"Relax, this medicine is to suppress the chaotic flow of poison. The previous one was to confuse your nerves."
"I didn't expect Young Master Yino to carry so many medicines. You're truly reliable~"
Jinyue nervously wagged her tail, pursing her red lips to say some flattering words.
However, the more she humbled herself and appeared obedient, the more Yino thought her image clashed with his memories, seeming less genuine.
"I told you earlier that I got lost when perusing the Alchemy Shop on the back mountain last night... These medications are what I bought there."
As Yino continued his lie, he suddenly realized he could tie it back to his earlier story.
Thinking himself quite clever, he began massaging the medicated milky foot and ankle.
