When Yan Baibai opened her eyes again, she saw Xiao Changhen's face. He looked at her silently, with the darkness in his eyes obvious. It was obvious at a glance that he had not had a good rest for a long time.
"Baibai, you finally woke up." Xiao Changhen suddenly bent down in front of Yan Baibai, put his head on Yan Baibai's shoulder, and rubbed it gently.
"How long have you not rested?" Yan Baibai's voice was very soft, hoarse and unpleasant.
"Not long." Xiao Changhen did not get up and let himself lie on Yan Baibai's shoulder.
"Host, three days and three nights." The system reminded silently, and then disappeared silently.
"I'm thirsty." Yan Baibai swallowed his dry mouth.
"Right away." Xiao Changhen stood up suddenly, then went to the table and poured a glass of warm water for Yan Baibai, helped Yan Baibai sit up, and then fed her.
Yan Baibai drank in small sips and soon drank all the water in the cup.
"Do you want more?" Xiao Changhen asked. Seeing Yan Baibai shook her head, he put the cup back on the table.
"Why... are you back again?" Yan Baibai leaned on the pillow and looked at Xiao Changhen indifferently.
"I..." Xiao Changhen looked away from Yan Baibai and fell silent.
She still saw the letter.
"Baibai, are you still willing to leave with me?" After a long silence, Xiao Changhen's eyes met Yan Baibai's again.
Yan Baibai looked at Xiao Changhen. She knew very well that if she dared to shake her head now, Xiao Changhen would turn around and leave and never come back.
But what if she really wanted to shake her head?
"Host, host, calm down. This is all for the mission." The system was anxious. Seeing that the host's heart seemed to be unmoved, it immediately used its own trick: "Think about everyone on Yucang Mountain. Only by completing the mission quickly can you go back to see them."
"Xiao Changhen, let me ask you, do you want me to leave with you?" Yan Baibai asked.
"I...I want you to be by my side." Xiao Changhen's eyes became determined: "Bai Bai, I want you to go to the land of immortal cultivation with me."
"Then promise me that you won't abandon me on the road like this again." Yan Baibai looked at Xiao Changhen and said, "If there is a second time, I will never forgive you."
Xiao Changhen's eyes lit up, and then he nodded heavily: "I promise you."
"Xiao Changhen, remember what you said today, otherwise..." Yan Baibai didn't continue.
The two stayed for another three days, and by the time they set out again, they had recovered considerably. As for the servants Xiao Changhen had bought, Yan Baibai returned their indentures and gave them some gold and silver before leaving. Life was difficult, and her willful act of arson would undoubtedly affect their future employment, so this was the only thing she could do.
Xiao Changhen remembered that Yan Baibai had a fever last time because of seasickness, so he planned to take Yan Baibai by land this time, but was stopped by Yan Baibai because she knew that taking the water route was closer and faster, and she really wanted to complete the mission and return quickly.
This time, Xiao Changhen and Yan Baibai had made sufficient preparations. Although Yan Baibai felt uncomfortable at times on the road, the situation was never as serious as last time.
The journey on the boat was surprisingly smooth. After half a month of sailing, the two switched to a horse-drawn carriage. The land route was not as peaceful as the sea route, as they encountered many people. Occasionally, a gangster would come looking for trouble, attracted by Yan Baibai's appearance. Eventually, Yan Baibai got fed up and changed into men's clothing, but this again attracted many young girls. Yan Baibai was speechless and could only get a large, ugly scar on his face. Only then did the two of them live a peaceful life.
"Bai Bai, you're very welcome." Xiao Changhen, who was hurrying in front of the carriage, suddenly spoke up. He paused, then lifted the curtain and said seriously in the tone of an educator, "Bai Bai, those people are only attracted to your appearance. They don't even know you and say they want you. Don't believe them!"
"I don't have a letter." Yan Baibai replied, suddenly feeling playful. She looked at Xiao Changhen, suddenly leaned forward and asked with a smile, "What about you? Do you like my appearance?"
Xiao Changhen did not retreat, but Yan Baibai noticed the shyness in his eyes and the subtle blush on the tips of his ears. In the past month, only at times like this did Yan Baibai feel that Xiao Changhen was like a normal human teenager.
"I really like your appearance." Yan Baibai reached out and touched Xiao Changhen's face, and said with some distress: "Your appearance is obviously better than mine, why do all the troubles come to me?"
"Maybe your face is too stinky. You should smile more in the future..."
"Baibai...it's been a long time since you called me...husband."
Ever since Xiao Changhen came back to find Yan Baibai again, Yan Baibai never called Xiao Changhen "husband" again. Although he had discovered it a long time ago, he did not say it out loud because he could feel Yan Baibai's unhappiness. But now, he can't help it.
Yan Baibai's little face froze for a moment, then she withdrew her hand that was touching Xiao Changhen's face, but when her hand was halfway withdrawn, it was grabbed by Xiao Chang.
"Baibai, I was wrong. Can you still call me husband from now on?" Xiao Changhen looked at Yan Baibai intently, his eyes full of pleading.
Yan Baibai was a little shocked. Just when she had given up on teaching Xiao Changhen to understand the emotions that normal humans should have, Xiao Changhen slowly learned these things from her.
As the person involved, Yan Baibai could feel that Xiao Chang's behavior this time was not a procedural expression of his previous learning, but was done through his inner feelings. The fact that he could make such a change also proved that it would not be a problem for him to cultivate immortality and attain enlightenment in the future.
Yan Baibai's mood suddenly improved. She suddenly pounced on Xiao Changhen and nodded readily to agree to him.
"Okay, husband~"
