Shen Jiao's words were intended to state a fact, but she inadvertently shattered the light that had shone on the boy from childhood to adulthood.

She assured everyone that she didn't mean it; she just couldn't help herself and blurted it out.

Is there a bit of a foul mouth in the genes of the Shen family?

Shen Jiao originally planned to leave, but after seeing Shen Qingfeng's incredulous expression, she thought about it and realized it was indeed immoral.

To tell a teenager brimming with faith that Ultraman is fake is indeed quite inhumane.

Although Shen Qingfeng's "Ultraman" was a little different, it was a Bodhisattva.

Feeling guilty, Shen Jiao comforted him, saying, "Don't be sad. I've been applying medicine to you for so many days. I've done my part, so I deserve to be called a Bodhisattva. If you really need something in this regard, I'll just be your Bodhisattva."

Shen Qingfeng: "!!!"

A Bodhisattva is a Bodhisattva, and you are you. How can the two be confused? What do you mean by "At worst, I'll just become your Bodhisattva"?

This is disrespectful to his light!

Shen Qingfeng had never heard such an insult to his idol in all his life!

He had said it before: Shen Jiao was annoying!

Shen Jiao didn't see Shen Qingfeng's expression clearly, but she thought the idea was excellent.

"However, this bodhisattva isn't just for show. Other believers have to offer money for incense when they go to the temple to burn incense. Your bodhisattva is different. Not only is it beautiful, but it can also talk and is alive. You've hit the jackpot, so the proper procedures can't be skipped."

Shen Jiao paused, "After saying so much, you can't just leave without making a donation. Do you have any money on you? Why don't you give it to the Bodhisattva as an offering?"

She was too poor and feared she would starve to death on the streets if she couldn't find a tyrant.

Shen Qingfeng: "!!!"

You not only want to be my light, but you also want to use my name to swindle my money?

"No! Even if I did, I wouldn't give it to you... Achoo!" Shen Qingfeng was furious and, in his agitation, took a deep breath, only to choke a little.

In that instant, he smelled a familiar spice scent.

Shen Qingfeng's expression changed. "You, you better tell me honestly, what exactly did you sprinkle on me?"

Shen Jiao: "The medicine."

However, this medicine is indeed a little different today.

The medicine was scavenged from newly bundled caterpillars. She picked up the porcelain bottle and looked inside—

5. Five-spice powder?

The wound medicine she had looted a few days ago looked exactly like this bottle, so she hadn't paid any attention to it.

Shen Jiao: "..."

Shen Qingfeng: "!!!"

So, I treated you like a saint, and you treated me like meat to be pickled?

Ugh! He already said that Shen Jiao is annoying!

Shen Jiao coughed twice to cover her embarrassment: "This was obviously an accident. Who would have thought that he would have such a unique hobby? While others carry medicine for wounds, he carries spices."

Shen Qingfeng was utterly devastated.

He was about to scold the girl when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in the wound on his shoulder, and he had a familiar, ominous premonition.

Shen Qingfeng was uneasy and urged, "Hurry up and take a look at the other bottles."

"You're too nervous. You only have one chance to make a mistake. Don't worry, my greatest strength is my caution. I'm not a careless person at all."

That being said, Shen Jiao still picked out another bottle, on which two words were clearly written—

salt.

Shen Jiao: "..."

Shen Qingfeng: "..."

They kept saying they would apply medicine, but secretly they were rubbing salt into his wound.

A scholar should be viewed with new eyes after three days of separation; a woman should be viewed with new disdain after three days of separation.

Shen Qingfeng swore that if he ever spoke another word to Shen Jiao, he would be the male dog in the north of the city who had been cuckolded by the female dog!

It was clear that the conversation couldn't continue that day, and Shen Jiao didn't want to check whether the other bottles contained cumin powder or pepper powder anymore; staying any longer would only create an awkward atmosphere.

She placed the porcelain vase on the ground and turned to walk away.

Shen Qingfeng thought Shen Jiao would at least say something in response, but instead she walked out without saying a word.

Judging from their attitude of not turning their heads away, were they planning to let him stay tied up here and get beaten up?

"Hey, you're just leaving like that?"

As Shen Jiao drew closer to the door, Shen Qingfeng couldn't help but speak. Calling her Shen Jiao was a bit awkward, and calling her "little sister" was a bit too much to say, so he compromised and simply said "Hey!"

Shen Jiao: "Otherwise what?"

Shen Qingfeng: "Haven't you noticed that you've forgotten something important?"

For example, let's untie your handsome, dashing, and charming third brother!

Reminded by Shen Qingfeng, Shen Jiao suddenly realized what was going on, turned back and picked up the sword that was lying in the corner. The sword had also been scavenged from the caterpillar.

"This sword may not be of very good quality, but it gives me a sense of security. Thanks for the reminder."

Shen Qingfeng: "...I'm a grown man, but not as important as this little broken sword?"

Shen Jiao analyzed seriously: "Of course not. A sword can hit people. In your current state, you're lucky if you don't get hit."

Carrying a sword can be used for self-defense, but bringing along Shen Qingfeng, this cheap third brother, would only double the trouble.

Her eyelids started twitching even more; she needed to get out of there quickly.

Seeing that Shen Jiao was truly determined to ignore him, Shen Qingfeng was so angry that his head was buzzing.

"If you don't take me with you on this journey, I curse you to be stopped by those idiots as soon as you step out the door!"

As she said this, Shen Jiao had just opened the door a crack and paused for a moment.

Shen Qingfeng didn't know why Shen Jiao suddenly came back to untie him, but he was still very proud. If it were before, this girl would definitely have argued with him ten times.

Although he wanted Shen Jiao to run with him all the way, he regretted it after they were actually untied.

He doesn't want to be with that annoying girl, Shen Jiao!
