Seeing Liu Xiaoxiao personally feed Ma Long a recovery pill, Tang Geng was somewhat surprised.
While recovery pills were not uncommon in the cultivator's world, they were exceptionally precious.
Especially for warriors like them, a single recovery pill on the battlefield could even become a critical factor in a warrior's life or death!
Yet, Liu Xiaoxiao had contributed her pill without the slightest hesitation.
This showed that despite her usual cold and stunning demeanor towards others, she treated her own soldiers like close brothers.
Although this pill might not have been much for Tang Geng and the others who possessed Spirit Gathering Pills, it was definitely a significant sacrifice for Liu Xiaoxiao!
This resolute friendship moved even Tang Geng, who was merely an observer!
After taking the recovery pill, Ma Long's complexion instantly improved significantly. Although he had not yet regained consciousness, his healthy appearance completely eased everyone's worried hearts.
In contrast, Han Lang's condition on the other side was not as optimistic.
Even though Tang Qin had given him a Spirit Gathering Pill, his face remained pale.
"What should we do? Is Han Lang going to be alright?"
Tang Qin was somewhat anxious, and when Tang Geng and Liu Xiaoxiao returned, their faces were also filled with worry.
"Perhaps we should find a battlefield doctor to examine him?"
Liu Xiaoxiao said with little confidence.
Who would have thought that a descendant of the Divine Farmer Heavenly Doctor, who was at the pinnacle of the medical field, would need the help of a battlefield doctor?
"I don't think so. Although Han Lang's complexion is a bit poor, his breathing is relatively even. Besides, he had foreseen this situation before he started needling Ma Long. As long as we fulfill his requests completely, he should be fine, right?"
Tang Qin was still a little uneasy. "Then, should we just let him remain unconscious like this?"
Seeing the uncertainty on Liu Xiaoxiao's and Tang Qin's faces, Tang Geng finally made a decision.
"How about this, I'll carry him back to his room and observe his condition closely. If there's any slight deterioration, I'll immediately go find a battlefield doctor. What do you think?"
Hearing this, the two women had no other suggestions for the moment, so they tacitly agreed to Tang Geng taking Han Lang away.
Fortunately, everything did not unfold as Tang Qin and the others had feared.
Han Lang had indeed merely fainted due to exhaustion.
After taking the Spirit Gathering Pill, Han Lang woke up the next day.
When he learned from Tang Geng about Liu Xiaoxiao's and Tang Qin's concern, and that Liu Xiaoxiao had unhesitatingly given a recovery pill to Ma Long, he was deeply moved.
If he hadn't been injured, Han Lang would have wished to personally thank the two women.
After a moment of emotion, Tang Geng, who had stayed up all night, finally couldn't hold on any longer. He left Han Lang's room with peace of mind and went to rest.
After seeing Tang Geng off, Han Lang wasted no time and immediately began refining the Lesser Returning Pill.
Since he had refined a Lesser Returning Pill before when treating Tang Haoran, and Han Lang's alchemy skills had greatly improved, refining a low-grade Lesser Returning Pill did not take him much time.
However, after taking the Lesser Returning Pill, Han Lang sat in meditation for almost half a day before his internal injuries were completely healed.
Although the process was somewhat arduous, after his injuries improved, Han Lang quickly regained his usual vigor.
Just as Han Lang was feeling pleased and lazily stretching, Liu Xiaoxiao suddenly entered.
"Hey, are you alright now?"
Seeing the surprised Liu Xiaoxiao, Han Lang smiled brightly and teased.
"Do I look like I'm not alright?"
Liu Xiaoxiao seemed to still have some doubts about Han Lang's recovery. Although on the surface, Han Lang was indeed very different from yesterday when he was severely injured and weak.
No one would believe that someone who was on the verge of death yesterday would be completely recovered today.
This was simply too incredible.
Therefore, Liu Xiaoxiao even deliberately walked up to Han Lang, turned him around, looked him over, and even extended her spiritual energy into his body to investigate.
But when she found nothing amiss with Han Lang, she could only murmur with a look of suspicion.
"You're really fine? How is that possible?"
Seeing Liu Xiaoxiao about to examine his body again, Han Lang quickly stopped her.
"No need to check again, Squad Leader Liu. Even if you don't trust me, don't you trust the medical skills of the Divine Farmer Heavenly Doctor? I said I'm fine, and I am fine. If you still don't believe me, how about we spar a few rounds?"
Seeing Han Lang's shameless demeanor, Liu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.
"Who wants to spar with you! What if you're not fully recovered, and I injure you again? Even if Huang Yuhua, that blockhead, can let me off, Tang Qin and Tang Geng by your side won't!"
Han Lang was speechless.
Just as he was about to explain further, Liu Xiaoxiao suddenly seemed to remember something and said to him.
"Right, I came today just to check on you. Since you're alright now, then I..."
Liu Xiaoxiao hesitated to speak.
Han Lang quickly pressed.
"What do you want to do? Just say it, Squad Leader Liu. We're not outsiders!"
Despite Han Lang's encouragement, Liu Xiaoxiao still seemed somewhat hesitant.
Several times, the words reached her lips but failed to be spoken.
Finally, she looked at Han Lang seriously and asked.
"Han Lang, tell me the truth, are you really a descendant of the Divine Farmer Heavenly Doctor?"
Han Lang replied without hesitation.
"Yes! I can perform tens of thousands of Divine Farmer Eighteen Needles techniques with ease!"
Seeing Han Lang's confidence, Liu Xiaoxiao became even more hesitant.
"Then... then... can you..."
Han Lang completely lost his patience.
"Oh, my dear Squad Leader Liu! Just say what you want to say! Beating around the bush like this, I really don't know what you're trying to do! If it continues like this, it will affect your image as a leader in my mind, your heroic and spirited impression!"
Hearing this, Liu Xiaoxiao immediately became unhappy.
Normally, she was strict and cold.
Among her peers, she had long cultivated the image of an ice mountain beauty.
If she were to lose her prestige in Han Lang's eyes due to her hesitation now, it would be a loss that outweighed the gain for her!
Therefore, she no longer hesitated and spoke directly.
"Do you remember that time we sparred in the base?"
"I remember, why?" Han Lang looked innocent.
"And do you remember that you said back then that my body had an illness, and if I needed it, I could come to you later?"
Hearing this, Han Lang frowned and recalled carefully.
He remembered that at that time, with the arena competition approaching, his cultivation had no room for improvement, and Tang Qin and the other two were practicing martial arts using the Heavenly Derivation Method.
Bored, he went out for a walk and encountered Liu Xiaoxiao.
Liu Xiaoxiao thought he was slacking off and sent him back.
The two of them fought.
Then, he accidentally touched Liu Xiaoxiao's pulse and discovered multiple blockages in her body.
Although it was not life-threatening, it had caused her cultivation to stagnate.
For this reason, he had told Liu Xiaoxiao at that time that he could treat her problem.
However, at that time, in Liu Xiaoxiao's eyes, he was just a new recruit who was not focused on his duties.
Therefore, she had not taken it to heart then.
"Oh! I remember now. I did feel your pulse back then and found some issues. But I didn't examine it thoroughly. If there's something wrong with your body, I'll need to diagnose it more carefully!"
