The Reincarnated Goddess is Fierce

Meanwhile, Xia Xibei was ushered into the room by Qiao Yanjue.

His face didn’t look too good.

“He’s not a kid, so why can’t he swim? Why did he need you to go and save him?”

Tang Luo looked thin and weak. He couldn’t even swim, Xia Xibei actually had to save him. It was so embarrassing!

“It’s normal that he can’t swim,” Xia Xibei replied nonchalantly, “The law does not require everyone to know how to swim.”

Especially since Tang Luo’s situation was special. It would be strange if he could swim.

Hearing Xia Xibei’s defense of Tang Luo, Qiao Yanjue’s face grew even darker.

“Alright, go in and take a shower. Clothes will be sent over soon.”

Not wanting to lose his temper at her, Qiao Yanjue could only nudge her into the bathroom.

When Xia Xibei went into the bathroom, Qiao Yanjue began to secretly wonder if he should let Mo Bonan give Tang Luo some special training.

How mortifying was it that a man had to have a girl save him!

After taking a shower, Xia Xibei flipped through the bathrobes on the shelf and frowned.

There were bathrobes here, but how thick could a summer bathrobe be?

Even if she was thoughtless, she would still feel embarrassed wearing a bathrobe and being alone in a room with a big man.

Luckily, the clothes came quickly.

Xia Xibei put on a simple T-shirt and shorts. Although the clothes did not fit very well, they were better than nothing.

She took off her makeup as well, walking out all refreshed.

When he noticed her long, wet hair, Qiao Yanjue stood up and found the hair dryer.

“Why didn’t you dry off a little more?” He mumbled, “Aren’t you a doctor? This is not good for your health, don’t you know?”

Xia Xibei bristled and reached for the hair dryer, “I’ll just do it myself.”

“Wait a minute.”

Qiao Yanjue’s face went cold as he took her hand in his.

Xia Xibei’s forearm had a bruise. Although it was no longer bleeding, the bruise was quite extensive and was now slightly white, which made him even more upset.

“It’s okay, I accidentally bruised it just now.”

Xia Xibei wanted to pull her hand back.

To her, this small injury was nothing at all.

It was not like the skin was scraped off, and it had already stopped bleeding, so what was there to worry about? She wasn’t that delicate.

“How can it be okay?” Qiao Yanjue’s face was grim as he stared at the wound, as if he wanted to give the culprit a death by a thousand cuts!

“It’s really okay!” Xia Xibei said with a smile, “It doesn’t even hurt now.”

“It really doesn’t hurt?”

“It doesn’t hurt!” she said seriously. “This little injury is really nothing.”

“You’ve had more serious injuries before?” Qiao Yanjue’s eyes were slightly cold.

“It’s alright.”

She did have a very serious injury before. Of course, that was in her second life. She was traveling all over, after all. How could she not encounter danger?

Those magical beasts and spirits were not to be messed with.

“Did Xia Shahai and the others beat you?” Qiao Yanjue’s tone was icy, with a bit of hidden anger.

He knew that Xia Xibei hadn’t been treated well since she was a child, and it wasn’t impossible that she would be abused.

If that was really the case, he would kill Xia Shahai and the others!

“Huh?” Xia Xibei froze for a moment before responding. “No, they didn’t hit me.”

She grew up with her grandmother ever since when she was a child. Her parents, Xia Shahai and Dong Shulan, just played on their own and generally ignored her, treating her as if she didn’t exist.

So she hadn’t really been beaten.

Of course, emotional violence was no less deadly than physical violence.

“Then how did you get hurt?”

Qiao Yanjue’s eyes were cold. He was determined to find out the truth.
