She had never met anyone who would risk their life for others; most of them were just using others as shields from disaster.
"Because they... are my family!"
Wang Feng's ramblings became increasingly outrageous, his gaze fixed intently on Jiang Hanxi.
"Family? Heh, it's a pity I've never experienced that feeling, and I probably never will."
As Jiang Hanxi regulated Wang Feng's chaotic spiritual energy, she uttered these words expressionlessly.
She secretly mocked herself, though to outsiders it seemed her master had taught her very well.
But there was absolutely no sense of kinship involved.
Only she knew the pressure she was under. If she made a mistake in her cultivation, her master would either beat or scold her before continuing to guide her.
Fortunately, she is very talented. Usually, if she doesn't learn something the first time, she can learn it the second time.
However, she doesn't hate her master. Without her master, she would have been taken advantage of long ago and wouldn't have achieved what she has today.
"Then...would you like to become my family?"
Seeing that the time was right, Wang Feng quickly presented Jiang Hanxi with a multiple-choice question.
The question startled Jiang Hanxi, who stared blankly at Wang Feng's chest, but quickly came to her senses.
"Alright, you should be almost fully recovered by now."
Jiang Hanxi did not answer Wang Feng's question, but instead changed the subject in a cold and indifferent tone.
[Ding, Host, why did you always want to kill her before?]
The system, which had been watching Wang Feng's actions the entire time, also asked a question.
Isn't this host supposed to be good at flirting? Why did he only ever think about killing this Ice Empress before?
Wang Feng ignored the system and thanked Jiang Hanxi.
Thank you.
Wang Feng was about to get up when he suddenly saw a bowl of meat soup on the table. Goodness, another round is coming.
Wang Feng pretended to get up, but halfway up, he seemed to lose his strength and fell back onto the bed with a thud.
Jiang Hanxi quickly grabbed his arm and helped him up.
"I... am hungry..."
Seeing that Jiang Hanxi was still sitting there, Wang Feng had no choice but to take the initiative to speak.
"Um."
What are you humming about? Bring that bowl of meat soup from the table!
Of course, Wang Feng only dared to roar in his heart.
Fortunately, Jiang Hanxi actually got up and brought over the bowl of meat soup, otherwise Wang Feng really wouldn't have been able to put on this act.
"Eat."
Jiang Hanxi handed the wooden bowl containing the meat soup and a wooden spoon to Wang Feng and said calmly.
Wang Feng could only tremble and weakly reach out his hand towards the bowl in Jiang Hanxi's hand.
He looked as if he was about to smash the bowl on the ground the next moment.
Seeing his appearance, Jiang Hanxi frowned and said, "I'll go find someone to feed you."
She turned to leave after saying that, but Wang Feng quickly stopped her.
"Wait a minute, it's so late now, everyone in the village must be asleep. Besides, aren't you human?"
"Fine, I won't eat it then..."
Wang Feng's tone was tinged with melancholy as he spoke, and his voice gradually faded.
"Um."
Jiang Hanxi didn't force him to eat when she saw that he wasn't going to.
Wang Feng smiled on the outside, but inwardly he was cursing, "I said I wouldn't eat anymore, and you really won't let me."
You even bothered to say "uh-huh"? When a man says no, he means yes, don't you understand?
Jiang Hanxi put the bowl of broth back on the table and said coldly, "You can sleep in bed tonight, I'll sleep on the floor."
Wang Feng closed his eyes, too exhausted to reply. He was utterly exasperated by Jiang Hanxi.
Seeing that he didn't move, Jiang Hanxi sat cross-legged on the ground and leaned against the wall to sleep.
Her cultivation at the sixth level of the Body Tempering Realm was not enough to sustain her for a day and a night without sleep.
Moreover, she had activated the Cold Sword several times during the day, which made her a little sleepy.
The two slept quietly until midnight, when Wang Feng woke up, hungry—this time he was truly starving.
But he couldn't just go and eat the bowl of meat soup on the table normally, otherwise Jiang Hanxi would definitely find out that he was lying to her.
Wang Feng had no choice but to try to get the bowl of meat soup by rolling it.
Ideally, he could wake Jiang Hanxi up so that his scene could continue.
Wang Feng adjusted his mindset and prepared himself mentally, knowing that another bout of pain was inevitable in a moment.
In a fit of rage, he rolled off the bed in an instant, his face, which had regained its rosy glow, turning blue from the fall. It really hurt.
With a thud, he rolled off the bed, followed by a series of rolls, his arms and feet slamming against the ground with a thud.
Jiang Hanxi was also awakened by the commotion and looked around warily.
The first thing I saw was a crawling creature on the ground—no, a man—crawling toward the bowl of meat soup on the table, like a maggot.
Who else could that man be but the miserable Wang Feng?
Wang Feng knew that Jiang Hanxi had woken up, but he pretended not to know and continued to slowly crawl toward the table with his seemingly weak body.
After climbing for a while, he collapsed to the ground, completely exhausted, gambling that Jiang Hanxi would come to help him.
If they won't help me up, fine, I'll just sleep on the ground for the night. I'm just a little hungry though.
Jiang Hanxi finally couldn't bear to watch any longer. She got up, walked over to him, squatted down, helped him up, and put him back on the bed.
Wang Feng calmly inhaled the warm, pleasant scent emanating from the person beside him, finding it quite pleasant.
Would you like some of this broth?
Jiang Hanxi stood by the bed and looked at Wang Feng, speaking coldly. Her tone was much better than the insults they exchanged when they met in their previous eight lives.
