Chu Qingmeng grabbed his sleeve and said weakly, "It's fine. Even if he came, it wouldn't help. I just need a moment to recover."
He picked up a damp handkerchief to wipe the blood from the corners of her lips. Seeing that she had calmed down somewhat, he asked, "What is all this about?"
Only then did Chu Qingmeng truly stop being angry. A hint of amusement laced her voice, "I wanted to scare you just now, so I forced my Inner Core to manifest, but since I'm in human form right now, I could only manage to reveal a pair of ears. That mouthful of blood was just a backlash. It's nothing serious. I'll be fine in a moment."
