More determined, she said, "Good little brother, how should we help her?"
Li Xian said, "She is in dire straits. I am severely poisoned and can't take care of her well. I would like to ask you to take care of her on my behalf."
Nangong Liuli let out a light "hmph" and said, "Your words are too distant. There's no need to use the word 'please' between us."
Li Xian said, "Good sister, my words are clumsy, I spoke wrong. Please forgive me." Nangong Liuli felt soft-hearted, seeing Li Xian so severely wounded yet still speaking gently to her. She realized it was inappropriate to throw a tantrum, feeling quite guilty, and said, "It's my fault, sister. You needn't... be so polite with me."
Nangong Liuli sighed, "But lying there like that, she is better off dead than alive."
