"Thank you, Xiao Shen Hua."
Xia Xue put away the talisman she was given, and then said with delight, "Little Shen Hua, your talisman is a little different from mine, but since you prepared the talisman, now that our two talismans are combined, we are simply invincible."
Chen Hua: ...
She was speechless.
"That makes sense."
Xia Xue was happy, but Xie Sichen was not. Shen Hua had just walked right out of his arms, and he still felt empty inside.
However, Shen Hua was unaware of this.
Bu Shuang and the others were terrified. Their legs were still too weak to stand up, and their eyes were still unfocused.
However, Li Jiawen reacted faster. He thought of the talismans from earlier. Although he couldn't stand up, it didn't stop him from picking them up. Later, as he gradually regained his senses, he realized that his actions were somewhat inappropriate, so he stopped picking them up.
Instead, he looked at Xia Xue and gave her a gentlemanly smile: "Xia Xue, I'm sorry, we were a little rude."
This was more than just rude; it was downright irrational. Especially his smile, which looked rather eerie, causing Xia Xue to unconsciously take a few steps back, as if to say, "Don't come any closer."
It's not her fault; after what just happened, she felt like Li Jiawen was possessed.
In this terrifying environment, she would believe it if you told her he was possessed by a ghost.
"Little Shen Hua, take a look at him, is he even human?"
Without even looking at her, Shen Hua replied, "Still alone."
Xia Xue relaxed a lot when she heard that it was a person.
At this moment, Zhang Yutian and the others gradually came to their senses and stood up. As the terror subsided, they began to make small movements.
Zhang Yutian spoke gently, asking Shen Hua why she had suddenly let go of her hand, implying that if she hadn't let go, they wouldn't have ended up like that.
She spoke subtly, and I've been paying attention to her.
Zhu Feng was not so reserved, especially since he and Zhang Yutian had just been in danger.
"Chen Hua, I told you you can't play this game, so why are you backing out at the last minute? Are you trying to kill us all?"
As Zhu Feng spoke, he also tried to hit Chen Hua, but would Chen Hua be afraid of him? Not to mention Xie Sichen standing next to her, even if she were weak, she could easily deal with ten or twenty people like Zhu Feng.
Zhu Feng only dared to talk like that, but didn't dare to come over. He just glared at Chen Hua a few times and that was it.
In Shen Hua's view, he didn't even have the courage to look her in the eye, and his few words were just a show of bravado.
Shen Hua didn't say anything, but Xia Xue couldn't help but speak up.
"What are you saying? If it weren't for us, you would all be dead. And you even turned the tables on us. What? Do you think we're afraid of you?"
She relied on Chen Hua to get there, and luckily the cameras can't capture it now.
"Xia Xue, Chen Hua, we're sorry. We also wanted to know Chen Hua's reasons for doing this. Xiao Feng has a bit of a temper and offended you. I apologize on his behalf. We're also sorry about what happened just now."
Zhu Feng was unhappy that she apologized to them like that. How could he let Zhang Yutian suffer such an injustice? He was about to speak when he saw Zhang Yutian's eyes and didn't say anything.
"What other reason do we need? Of course, we sensed danger and ran away. Did you think you would just stand there and not move after you sensed danger?"
That's quite something; even standing still, they'd be terrified.
Shen Hua: "I believe you know what you were thinking when you said these things. Some things lose their meaning if you talk about them too much. We are not suited for infighting here. What do you think?"
After saying this, Zhang Yutian couldn't continue her sarcastic remarks. She gave them an apologetic smile and then pulled Zhu Feng away.
Shen Hua and the others returned to their tents.
After all that commotion, it's a miracle they didn't go back; how could they possibly dare to continue?
However, given their purpose for coming here, they might continue their reckless antics tomorrow.
Shen Hua got up in the middle of the night and quietly ate something. She ate very quietly, and because she had put up talismans, no one could hear her.
Of course, this did not include Xie Sichen. He knocked on Shen Hua's tent, and after Shen Hua came out, he took her out first.
"Xie Sichen, why did you bring me out in the middle of the night? Is there something important you want to tell me?"
Shen Hua asked, but instead of what important thing she was waiting for, she saw two hopping pheasants, which were meat!
He immediately gave Xie Sichen a thumbs up.
The two found a place far from their lodgings, lit a fire, and started roasting meat. Because Xie Sichen's spiritual power was still intact, he did these things very quickly. With his master-level skills, the two pheasants were sizzling with oil.
Because it was too dark, Shen Hua thought it would be inconvenient, but Xie Sichen actually broadened its horizons. Not only was the small place they were staying surrounded by a spiritual energy barrier, but it was also brightly lit inside.
She could now clearly see the oil sizzling on the chicken.
"Xie Sichen, you're such a great chef, I feel like I can't live without you," Shen Hua praised sincerely.
Xie Sichen looked at her and said seriously, "You don't have to leave."
Shen Hua's attention wasn't on that; upon hearing Xie Sichen's words, she immediately nodded in agreement.
"Alright, you're the only chef I've hired."
Xie Sichen knew very well that this wasn't what he meant, but he had already made great progress; at least he had won her over through her stomach.
After the chicken was roasted, Xie Sichen did not hand the whole chicken to Shen Hua. Instead, he handed her a chicken leg first. A large plate, like the condiments, appeared in front of him from who knows where.
Xie Sichen then slowly tore the chicken apart, placed it on a plate, and handed it to Shen Hua to eat.
This thoughtful gesture touched Shen Hua deeply. If her hands hadn't been oily, she would have patted his head. He was just too well-behaved and sensible.
Unfortunately, the fox wouldn't get to enjoy it; even the fragrant scent couldn't wake it up. She was glad she had taken it back; if it had been sleeping like that during class, something terrible might have happened.
"Xie Sichen, you only gave me food. You have food to eat. Look at you, you're so big. You didn't eat much last night, so you're making up for it now."
She hadn't forgotten to feed him and raise him to be plump and healthy, so he wouldn't suffer like he did when he was little.
Immediately, Xie Sichen started tearing meat, and Shen Hua fed him the torn pieces. She fed him one piece at a time, and in this way, both of them were full and ate with great relish. Xie Sichen even smiled, which was rare for him.
