Bai Chulan subconsciously wanted to vomit, but Ruan Tian keenly noticed it.

"Hey, there's no poison in this. It can save your life. Please don't spit it out!"

She frowned and reached out to pinch Bai Chulan's chin.

If Bai Chulan hadn't truly run out of strength, he would have definitely stabbed Ruan Tian through the throat with the dagger.

No one had ever dared to treat him like this before.

Before the apocalypse, he was the young master of the Bai family, living the most luxurious life.

Even after the apocalypse, they were still praised to the skies because of their unique light-based superpowers.

No one has ever done anything like Ruan Tian's coercive actions to Bai Chulan.

"It's not poisonous."

Ruan Tian also picked up a xiaolongbao (soup dumpling) and ate it in front of Bai Chulan.

After finishing the meal, he didn't forget to brag a little.

"It's just as delicious as I made it!"

Seeing the blissful expression on Ruan Tian's face, Bai Chulan waited for several seconds to make sure she was fine after eating before swallowing the steamed bun himself.

These xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) taste really good; they give you a warm feeling after you eat them.

The coldness brought on by the snake venom was dispelled, and Bai Chulan's complexion improved considerably.

He had regained some strength, and his gaze towards Ruan Tian held a newfound inquisitiveness.

It's already incredible to have such a delicious dish, but the most unbelievable thing is that these foods can also provide buffs.

Who exactly is Ruan Tian?

What is the purpose of coming here?

Could it be... that someone was sent by my mother?

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, he gently shook his head, suppressing it.

No one could possibly know he came here; everything was planned, and he was the only one who knew about this place.

How could Ruan Tian possibly know about this place?

Seeing that Bai Chulan hadn't spoken for a long time, Ruan Tian thought he was frightened by the poisonous snake.

"That snake is dead, you don't need to worry."

Bai Chulan had already devised a plan in his mind. He smiled subtly at Ruan Tian, ​​then slowly said:

"Thank you for saving me. Without you, I might be dead."

"Oh dear," Ruan Tian waved her hand with a smile, then suddenly realized something.

That is... I didn't receive any gratitude points from Bai Chulan.

Could it be a system bug?

Sensing Ruan Tian's ulterior motives, the system immediately stepped forward and issued a statement:

[I hope you can correct your thinking. Our system wouldn't make such a basic mistake. If any gratitude points are generated, I will definitely inform you.]

Ruan Tian thought about it and realized that since the day the system met her, apart from a few minor mistakes, it had been able to fulfill its duties responsibly.

"you're right."

The problem... lies with Bai Chulan?

But at this moment, Bai Chulan's expression was particularly innocent, and anyone who came to take a look would say that Bai Chulan was innocent!

Moreover, his eyes were full of sincerity, leaving no room for pretense.

It's likely that the system didn't receive the notification of the increased gratitude value for other reasons.

Ruan Tian relaxed, and just as she was about to speak, Bai Chulan spoke first:

"This place is very secluded. How did you find it?"

One more thing, young lady, your superpower is truly unique. I've never seen anyone else possess such an ability before.

Ruan Tian knew that Bai Chulan was suspicious, and she definitely couldn't reveal the system, so she quickly racked her brains:

"I was stunned when I awakened my superpowers!"

But everyone's abilities are different, and the world is full of wonders; there are definitely people even more bizarre than me!

Ruan Tian's expression was also impeccable; her greatest skill was feigning innocence.

Bai Chulan stared at Ruan Tian for a few seconds, then smiled and said, "I still want to thank you for saving me, young lady."

"This is a piece of cake for me!"

After regaining his strength, Bai Chulan showed great concern for Ruan Tian, ​​asking her if she was tired and massaging her shoulders and back.

Ruan Tian was a little flattered, especially since Bai Chulan had such an extremely handsome face, she really couldn't resist!

In this dizzying atmosphere, Ruan Tian suddenly realized something!

Wait a minute, you could tell from the lottery that Bai Chulan's strategy level was as high as S-rank!

Ruan Tian frowned. Was Bai Chulan's strategy really at an S-level?

"System, are you mistaken? I think Bai Chulan is quite kind and approachable, even down-to-earth."

System: [Host, I advise you not to underestimate Bai Chulan. You saw that dead snake too; its body was cut into pieces. Are you sure Bai Chulan is really as pure as she appears?]

Ruan Tian didn't take it to heart. She waved her hand and smiled as she said to the system in her mind:

"You must be mistaken. I don't believe Bai Chulan is that kind of person. He had such a miserable childhood. He's a pitiful person."

[Fine, host, you'll have your day to cry sooner or later.]

Ruan Tian ignored the system and continued her conversation with Bai Chulan.

Ruan Tian felt very comfortable talking to Bai Chulan. He was very good at providing emotional value and had a strong ability to empathize.

In less than an hour of spending time together, Ruan Tian realized that Bai Chulan was an incredibly kind person!

Ruan Tian looked at Bai Chulan with bright eyes: "How are you feeling? Are you feeling any better?"

"Yes, thank you, Miss Ruan Tian. I feel much better."

After Bai Chulan finished speaking, he looked up at the sky.

"It's getting dark, let's go upstairs to a clean and safe room to rest."

"Uh-huh."

The two went upstairs together. Ruan Tian walked in front, and after only a few steps, she heard rustling sounds behind her.

Ruan Tian subconsciously turned around and noticed that Bai Chulan seemed to be holding something thin and long in his hand.

But the light was too dim, so Ruan Tian didn't pay it any mind and continued to follow Bai Chulan's instructions.

The two entered a windowless room, which was indeed very safe.

After entering, Bai Chulan pushed the wooden cabinet over, completely blocking the entrance.

"That's safe."

Bai Chulan's expression was gentle as he softly said to Ruan Tian, ​​"Why don't you rest for a bit? I'll keep watch."

"Oh? You were injured today, but it's okay! Just leave it to me!"

Seeing Ruan Tian's confident demeanor, Bai Chulan shook his head and refused.

In the end, he was the one to keep watch.

Ruan Tian didn't want to sleep at first, but she was really exhausted today. She curled up in a small corner and fell asleep in less than three minutes.

Late into the night, the system suddenly spoke into her sleeping mind:

[Host, if you don't get up soon, someone will kill you.]

Upon hearing this, Ruan Tian subconsciously opened her eyes and found that Bai Chulan, who had been looking gentle, was now squatting expressionlessly beside her.

He held a dagger in his hand, the cold blade pressed against Ruan Tian's side of her neck, bringing a chill.

Ruan Tian subconsciously swallowed, and then heard Bai Chulan speak:

"Tell me everything you know."

Otherwise, I'll kill you.
