Oh, right, Shen Hua remembered the medicinal herbs she had bought.
He changed the subject, saying, "Xie Sichen, right? Do you know you've been poisoned? And it's not just one kind; the toxin has seeped into your bone marrow. Even if Hua Tuo were alive today, he couldn't save you."
I successfully saw his initial shocked expression, followed by his furrowed brows.
Shen Hua continued, "I believe you've also felt it; your body has improved a tiny bit."
"That's right, it was me. You don't need to thank me too much, but I still deserve the title of your savior. I bought some medicinal herbs for you on my way back. They'll be good for your health."
"It's five hundred and seventy-six in total. When can we settle the bill? How about we exchange this life-saving grace for a meal?"
The way Shen Hua looked at him was both questioning and scrutinizing.
He wouldn't lose out by exchanging one meal. As for the next meal, that's for another time. Right now, she just wanted to try the food and see if it tasted as good as it did.
Xie Sichen's food was now ready. He didn't answer Shen Hua's offer, but instead looked at her and asked, "Can you cure the poison in my body?"
Some of the poison in his body was present from the womb, some was acquired at birth, and some was acquired during his growth.
There are more than ten kinds of symptoms intertwined, and every time they flare up, the pain is unbearable.
None of the people they found could cure the poison; they could only suppress it.
To detoxify, all poisons must be eliminated at once; it's impossible to detoxify only one poison at a time.
Someone once tried to cure one of the poisons, and it almost cost him his life. From then on, he lost all hope in his poison.
Learning alchemy was merely for refining pills to alleviate symptoms, or perhaps he still harbored a sliver of hope!
When he suddenly heard a little girl say that she could solve the problem, and she said it so casually, his first thought was not to believe her.
Oh right, I was taking it a little too seriously. The girl just wanted to eat his cooking.
"Well, putting everything else aside, you went through all that trouble to carry me back, so you deserve a meal as a treat."
Xie Sichen put those thoughts aside and said half-jokingly.
Seeing that he had agreed, Shen Hua nodded to indicate that she understood, while her hands behind her back kept moving.
Carrying her was a last resort; her height was simply too short to lift her up.
She kept glancing at the food, so she didn't notice Xie Sichen's sudden change in expression.
"Can I offer a suggestion?" Shen Hua asked, raising her little paw.
Xie Sichen nodded and said, "Okay."
Chen Hua: ...
Smiling at her with his blue eyes while looking at her is illegal.
If it weren't for the delicious food in front of her, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to resist using her little paws to gouge out his eyes.
Having a pretty face is useless; her face is pretty too, but she lacks the color in her eyes.
This is an eye color that only demons possess, and not all demons have such a beautiful color; it's something she could never have no matter what she did.
"Ahem, my opinion is very minor. It's just that what you made isn't enough to eat. Why don't you make some more? I have plenty of ingredients in the refrigerator, so don't worry about you using them all."
Xie Sichen thought it was something serious, but it turned out to be this. However, the little girl's appetite seemed a bit large.
"good."
Having received his affirmation, Shen Hua quickly took the food out and started eating.
Finally, she could taste it. After taking one bite, her eyes widened. After two bites, she forgot to swallow.
"This, this, this is so delicious."
It tasted better than everything she had ever eaten outside combined; after eating it, she felt like she was floating.
