Li Feng carried the food box back to the room quietly, placed it on the table, glanced at the "Miss" on the bed, and then went to the next room to scoop up a ladle of water and place it beside her.
Seeing Li Feng's expression, Zhu Yu sat up straight, opened the food box, and when he saw the dishes inside, he had an idea. He said to Li Feng, "Take the water ladle away. I can eat spicy food."
Upon hearing this, Li Feng's tears immediately fell: "Miss, you're injured and can't eat spicy food. From childhood to adulthood, you've never even tasted a drop of chili, and you're still sick now, so you can't eat spicy food. How about I pick out the chilies here, wash them, and reheat them on the stove?"
"It's alright. It's cold and damp in winter, so eating something spicy will help ward off the cold." Zhu Yu picked up a piece of diced green peppers and meat with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth. His mouth was immediately numb from the spiciness.
But this dish clearly had at least half the amount of chili peppers he used to eat. This used to be his favorite dish, but now that he had a different body, he couldn't handle even a little bit of spice.
Looking at the "Miss" whose eyes were streaming with tears from the spiciness, Li Feng choked up and said, "Miss, you are so kind, why did the Prince treat you like this? Waaah..."
The jade bracelet on his wrist felt slightly warm. Zhu Yu looked down in confusion and suddenly realized that the score of 748 had become 747.
The food I was about to put in my mouth stopped when I remembered what the little person in my dream had said: to reduce my score, I needed to gain the approval of those around me; every word of praise would reduce my score by one point.
Just now, Li Feng only said "Miss, you are so kind" and he lost one point. Does that mean that if Li Feng says thirty words of praise to him every day, he will be able to return to his body in less than a month?
Thinking of this, Zhu Yu suddenly felt confident. He didn't even bother to eat anymore. He pushed his bowl aside and said to Li Feng, "Say what you just said again."
Li Feng: "Huh?"
"Tell me quickly." Zhu Yu's eyes lit up, and his face was filled with undisguised joy.
This left Li Feng somewhat bewildered. What was wrong with Miss? Had she been driven mad by the spiciness?
Seeing that she remained silent for a long time, Zhu Yu said impatiently, "I, the princess, order you to speak quickly! What are you dawdling for? Can't you understand what I'm saying?!"
In his haste, Zhu Yu's volatile temper became uncontrollable.
Li Feng shuddered, thinking that this was the original young lady: "Miss, you are so kind, why does the prince treat you like this?"
Zhu Yu stared intently at the jade bracelet on his hand, but unfortunately, the numbers on it did not change.
Could it be that the same words don't work?
So he said again, "Praise me with a different word."
Li Feng was completely baffled: "Miss, what's wrong? Don't scare me. Is the food too spicy? You can't get used to it. Why don't you rinse it in water? It's a bit bland, but it's still fresh food."
"Stop talking nonsense, compliment me in a different way." Zhu Yu stared at the bracelet on his wrist, having no interest in a little maid's feelings.
"Miss, why are you staring at this bracelet?"
Zhu Yu held out his hand to Li Feng: "Can you see the red words inside?"
Li Feng looked at it carefully for a long time, then shook her head, tears streaming down her face again: "Miss, what's wrong? Don't scare me, this bracelet isn't worth much, how could there be words inside?"
Zhu Yu had a headache. If that were the case, only he and Lu Xiaoyun could see it.
He had no time to care about the maid's feelings; he was staring intently at the words on the bracelet: "Hurry up, I'm telling you to find a different way to praise me, stop dawdling."
Li Feng swallowed hard and said cautiously, "Miss, you are beautiful and kind-hearted. They are blind to your greatness."
Sure enough, the number became seven hundred and forty-six.
Zhu Yu excitedly grabbed Li Feng's shoulder and said, "I know! I know how to get back!"
"Miss, where do you want to go back to? You've married His Highness Prince An, where else can you go?" Li Feng looked at the person in front of her in horror.
The person is still the same, but why does it feel increasingly off?
"Miss, what did the Prince say to you just now? Is he going to divorce you? Miss, if you are divorced, will you have any chance of survival? The stepmother will not agree to let you return to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. Waaah, Miss, next time the Prince comes, be nicer and more submissive. The Prince will realize your goodness. We can't go back."
Zhu Yu had no time to pay attention to Li Feng at this moment. He stared intently at Li Feng with bright eyes and said, "Starting today, you will praise me with different words every day, the more the better."
He'll be able to return to his body in a month at most; just thinking about it is exciting.
He'll give that wicked woman a good beating then; he doesn't know what kind of sorcery she used to harm him like this.
Li Feng trembled, forgetting all about crying.
The young lady is no longer arrogant, but has become narcissistic, and I have to praise her in different ways every day, and so much at that?
"Hurry up, keep praising it." Zhu Yu urged Li Feng, staring at the bracelet.
Li Feng had no choice but to bite the bullet and rack his brains for words, saying things like, "Miss is a fairy descended from heaven," "Miss's hands are so beautiful," "Miss's knowledge is also top-notch," and "Miss has no flaws from beginning to end."
Wait, wait.
Li Feng spoke cautiously, sweat beading on her forehead. In the end, she didn't care whether her young lady could bear such compliments, and used every compliment she could to praise Zhu Yu.
The more you praise her, the more guilty she feels. She has never told a lie in her entire life.
Now she has no choice but to ramble on, and she doesn't know if God will think she has committed a sin of speech.
That's it, she'll definitely be reincarnated as a mute in her next life.
Zhu Yu stared intently at the bracelet on his wrist, watching the score on it decrease little by little, as if he could see the day a month later when he would finally return to his body and triumph.
He saw Lu Xiaoyun kneeling at his feet, pleading with him.
About half an hour later.
"Miss, this servant... this servant really can't think of any words." Li Feng's mouth was dry, so she picked up the water on the table and gulped down three cups in a row.
It's fine to praise someone once or twice, but if they say it dozens of times, just thinking about it makes her legs tremble.
Zhu Yu looked at the data above and saw that it was already 725 points. He couldn't push too hard on the first day, so he said, "Okay, that's enough for today. Think it over carefully, and we'll continue tomorrow."
Li Feng's legs went weak, and she almost knelt down: "Ah, you'll come again tomorrow, Miss? Please let me go. I can't read, but I've thought of everything I can think of."
Zhu Yu was displeased. He lowered his wrist, shot a cold glint at Li Feng, and sneered, "What, you can't even handle such a small matter!"
Li Feng shuddered inexplicably when she looked into Zhu Yu's eyes. How could the young lady's eyes be so frightening, as if they were filled with blood and had killed many people?
Li Feng lowered her head and whispered, "Yes, this servant, this servant will go back and think about it."
