Feng Wu frowned. "Show me."
Chaoge chuckled. "Don't worry. I'm fine. A magical beast just bit me in the leg, and it hurts a little, that's all."
"What magical beast?"
"A snowy white snake. It was really pretty and I wanted to catch it. But it didn't go as expected…" Chaoge said with a long face.
"You silly girl —" Feng Wu jabbed Chaoge's forehead with a finger and went on examining her. She froze all of a sudden.
The look on her face turned grave.
Chaoge was bewildered. "Xiao Wu, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? What happened to your face? And your hand…"
Chaoge reached out to hold Feng Wu's hand, but Feng Wu remained serious.
"Xiao Wu… wh- what's wrong? Are you very ill?" Chaoge was flustered.
Feng Wu took a deep breath. "Chaoge, I need to tell you something."
"Of course. I'll help you no matter what, come hell or high water. Xiao Wu, please don't be afraid." Chaoge held Feng Wu's hand and nodded solemnly.
