Touching the small knife with one of her hands and reaching Chu Wuyao's waist with the other, Ruan Yi hesitated whether to take action or not.
Obviously, judging from Chu Wuyao's current condition, this was possibly her only opportunity to get rid of her.
As long as she just unsheathed the knife on her waist and stabbed her in the heart, the Heart Seal would completely disappear and she would be free once again.
This set of movements was very easy and it would take less than a split of second to perform.
"He-help me lay down."
Chu Wuyao didn't seem to notice her inner struggle and whispered with some difficulty while pointing at the bed.
Ruan Yi's eyes flashed with some ruthlessness and her hand on her waist moved slightly, but then it stopped and she sighed.
Using her hands, she hugged Chu Wuyao's body and placed it on the bed gently, helping her lay down.
Seeing that Chu Wuyao's eyes were closed and she seemed to be in pain, Ruan Yi decided to go get something to help her bandage the wounds and clean off the remaining blood.
"Bang!"
The door closed behind her, leaving Chu Wuyao alone in the room.
The moment she left, Chu Wuyao's opened immediately and her "weak" look quickly disappeared.
With a thought of her mind, the system panel that was always in her field of vision in case she needed to heal herself went away and she smiled slightly.
But then, she felt the various wounds on her body and the cracked bones on her hands.
"Li Ruoshi...", she gritted her teeth with hatred when she remembered what had just happened.
If before, she disliked Li Ruoshi for killing her predecessor and was just willing to avenge her, then now, her hatred for Li Ruoshi was something personal.
Since she had come to this world, it was the first time that she had suffered such humiliation.
Not only was she severely injured, but she was also hunted down all over the sect and could not fight back at all.
If it hadn't been for the masked man that distracted Li Ruoshi, Chu Wuyao doubted whether she would have survived today's chase.
Fortunately, everything went according to plan and she managed to shake Li Ruoshi off in the end.
Even then, Chu Wuyao didn't dare to go back to her house, afraid that Li Ruoshi would be waiting her and instead came sneakily to Ruan Yi's residence.
Chu Wuyao was very sure that Li Ruoshi would have never guessed that she was living in her follower's house.
Of course, she still didn't fully trust Ruan Yi and had to act a little in order to test her reaction and see what she was going to do in such a situation.
Thankfully, for her own life, Ruan Yi made the right choice.
"10 Sin Points?"
Opening up the system panel, Chu Wuyao found that it would take 10 Sin Points to heal her injuries.
It was less than the points needed to heal her initial injuries, but way more than the points needed the time she suffered from the Shadow Cats in the Warring Beasts Forest.
She didn't rush to heal her injuries, knowing that for the time being, she was safe.
Over the past few days, she had realized that getting Sin Points was both easy and hard at the same time.
Getting Sin Points was easy, but after getting them it was very possible that you would get beaten up.
That's why Chu Wuyao planned to save them as long as she could.
Just as she was deep in thoughts, the door of the room opened again and Ruan Yi walked in.
She was holding some bandages, a white towel and a bucket filled with water in her two hands.
"Did you wake up?", she asked when she saw that Chu Wuyao was up and walked next to her.
Standing next to the bed, she gently wiped some of the blood that was dripping from the corner of Chu Wuyao's mouth and checked the rest of her injuries.
Only now did she notice the cracked bones on her hands, causing her expression to show a hint of worry.
"What happened? How did you end up like this?", she hurriedly and her hands moved.
In response to her question, Chu Wuyao smiled wryly.
"I didn't expect that Li Ruoshi was going to pay me a late night visit."
"It seems that the two of you are quite similar.", she smiled slightly and joked.
Ruan Yi's expression froze when she heard this and didn't have the time to care about Chu Wuyao's jokes.
"Did senior sister Li take action?", she whispered but the movements of her hands didn't stop.
Dipping the white towel in the bucket, she brought it to Chu Wuyao's face and gently cleaned away the blood that was all over her face and on her long white hair.
Her hands moved slowly, as if she was afraid that she would hurt Chu Wuyao and cause her condition get even worse.
Silence spread in the room, as neither of the two of them spoke and only the sound of the towel touching Chu Wuyao's skin could be heard.
After Ruan Yi was done cleaning her face, her hands moved and she took the torn black dress off Chu Wuyao, revealing her naked body.
Glancing at the many wounds, she was slightly surprised to find that most of them were healing at an abnormal speed, almost visible to the naked eye.
But she had no time to think the reason why this was happening.
With the towel in her hand, she traced Chu Wuyao's skin, removing the blood off her wounds.
"Hisss.."
From time to time, Chu Wuyao's body twitched and she couldn't help but grimace in pain, as the towel rubbed against her wounds.
TIme passed and soon, Chu Wuyao's appearance returned back to normal, albeit looking slightly frail.
When Ruan Yi was done and she was about to pick up the bucket filled with water and leave, a delicate hand held her wrist and stopped her.
"Don't leave, I think that there are still some injuries left on my body.", Chu Wuyao said and her eyes traced Ruan Yi's figure.
Ruan Yi immediately turned speechless.
Just not long ago, Chu Wuyao looked almost ready to die, but now, she was in the mood to do such a thing.
She even began to wonder whether she had been acting all along and all of this was just an excuse!
