Xia Xiao was a little anxious. Shu Shuang shouldn't have woken up after absorbing the Ying Hulu. Why was she still like this after a night of sleep? She lay quietly in bed like a sleeping beauty. Did she need his true love's kiss? Don't be ridiculous!

Xia Xiao was confused. After Shu Shuang absorbed the Ying Hu last night, he started practicing and then fell asleep on the ground. He slept until noon. But Shu Shuang...

Xia Xiao couldn't figure it out. He sat next to Shu Shuang and saw that she looked ruddy. She should be fine. It was the same last time at the Xuelong Crossing. Should he let her wait for a while? This was the only way now. But Xia Xiao sat there for only a quarter of an hour before he became anxious and restless.

Although the injury on his leg had improved a lot, he still felt a tearing sensation. He gritted his teeth and went out, calling the waiter in the corridor.

By chance, the door to the next room opened.

The big man from last night covered the back of his head, feeling a sharp pain, and was surprised to see Xia Xiao.

"Hey, have we met somewhere?"

"last night……"

"Sir, here I come!"

The waiter ran very fast, leaving Xia Xiao no chance to speak. The man looked at him for a few seconds. Did he remember it wrong? Or did he fall asleep while practicing? After thinking about it, both were possible. After all, he woke up and lay on the ground, still covered with a quilt. It was possible that he rolled off the bed by himself!

"Go find a better doctor and ask him to come over quickly!"

After hearing this, the waiter ran out of the door. Xia Xiao and the big man looked at each other. The latter still felt strange, but he didn't care about it because he was going out to eat. Some dreams are so real. He also dreamed of himself and a beautiful woman. That feeling, ****!

The waiter was very agile and quickly called a doctor. The doctor looked at Shu Shuang for a long time. If he was not an old man, Xia Xiao would have thought that he was attracted to Shu Shuang's beauty. In the end, he only gave a vague conclusion that he would be fine if he slept more! After a long time of treatment, he was relieved.

Another night passed, and Xia Xiao opened his eyes early in the morning. At this time, Shu Shuang was awake.

"Good morning!"

Hearing her sweet voice, Xia Xiao stood up with a smile and replied with a good morning. Although Shu Shuang had only been in a coma for three days, Xia Xiao had a very strange feeling, as if he hadn't seen her for a long time, and he cherished her even more.

While washing up, Xia Xiao asked:

"Can you tell me? About you."

"ah?"

Shu Shuang didn't quite understand.

"How come you have such strong vitality in your body? You absorb vitality very quickly, but on the surface you only have the strength of the late Xinglu. It's not that I don't trust you, I'm just curious."

"I don't know either. I asked Master, but he wouldn't tell me. You know, Master loves to play that game the most!"

After spending some time together, Xia Xiao believed Shu Shuang, she would not hide anything from him. And the master was indeed like that, after so long, he still hadn't told him who had put the seal.

"Where did you get the Ying Hu? I see you're badly injured."

"It's all right now, don't think about it anymore."

Shu Shuang nodded, very obediently. Seeing the candied haws on the bedside table, she asked Xia Xiao:

"Is this for me?"

"I bought it yesterday."

"It doesn't matter."

Shu Shuang opened her rosy little mouth, took a bite, and revealed a sweet smile like melting rock candy.

"tasty."

Xia Xiao sat in the chair, looking at her in a daze.

At noon, Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang went out to eat together. Rongcheng was very big, so they could take a walk around and look for a place to live in the future. The inn was too expensive, so it would be cheaper to find a small courtyard.

The waiter and the handyman stole a few glances at Shu Shuang, then turned around and began to discuss how it would be great if a girl like this were their wife.

There were many people on the street, so Xia Xiao took Shu Shuang's wrist. They walked for a long time and then walked into a store.

"Boss, two bowls of wontons, please."

"Okay—"

Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang sat by the window, feeling a little strange, like they were on a date...

After careful consideration, Xia Xiao decided to tell Shu Shuang everything that happened yesterday because there were things that Shu Shuang needed to know. Shu Shuang was anxious after hearing this, but she was afraid that she would annoy Xia Xiao by nagging, so she just said:

"Don't go there again next time."

"What are you going to do?"

Shu Shuang bit her lip and lowered her eyes.

"It's okay, I'll just rest for a while."

Shaking his head, Xia Xiao disagreed.

"It's actually okay to get the Ying Hulu. The main thing is that we didn't join them. They must have taken some action, but because of our identities, they don't dare to do it openly. At most, they can trip us up. We have to be careful."

"I used to think that people in the world respected the Zou Shou Church, but now it seems that is not the case."

"When faced with beings stronger than themselves, people will only be in fear and dread them, and only a few will respect them."

"Sir, your wontons——"

The boss brought over two bowls of hot wontons. The aroma whetted the appetite of the two men and they started eating immediately!

After eating, if the boss hadn't remembered that Xia Xiao ordered wontons, he wouldn't have known how to charge her. Because the bowl was completely empty, not even chopped green onions were left, it was horrible.

After paying and leaving, Xia Xiao and a woman met each other's eyes. She was the etiquette lady of Jinmen Wudou City. Only his original world would create such a term to respect that profession, unlike this world, where everyone is called a maid.

"Is it you?"

Xia Xiao remembered that the woman's name was Huiyue. She was dressed simply and tightly, but her clothes could not hide her seductive and sexy figure.

When Xia Xiao glanced at Hui Yue, the latter also looked at him. The latter was surprised. He was covered in wounds the day before yesterday, how come he was all healed today?

"Let's go."

Xia Xiao turned away and left, and Shu Shuang followed.

"No wonder you're not interested in me. It turns out you have someone. I didn't expect you're quite old and quite loyal."

Huiyue smiled charmingly and went home with the wontons. But how could she complete what Manager Bin had said? When she thought about this, she became upset.

Manager Bin wanted Huiyue to get close to Xia Xiao and then make him take poison, but Xia Xiao was so perceptive that Huiyue always felt it was unrealistic, and the girl next to him seemed to be a cultivator as well.

Just when she was worried, Huiyue arrived home. The shabby little courtyard was her home. The gate was closed, but the door inside was wide open. As soon as she entered the door, she could smell the stench of alcohol. This smell made her nauseous and annoyed to the core.

"Dad, you're drinking again? What did you promise me?"

Walking into the inner room, I saw a middle-aged man lying drunk on the ground. A woman sat on the bed, her eyes red from crying. On the other side, a teenage boy silently picked up the broken things on the ground.

"Yang'er, come here."

The boy walked up to Huiyue, pouting as if he had been wronged. Seeing the whip marks on his hands, Huiyue felt distressed.

"Be good, Yang'er, let's go eat. I bought you your favorite wontons."

The boy glanced at his mother and couldn't bear to leave, but Huiyue touched the top of his head.

"Go quickly, sister has another one!"

"Uh-huh!"

After the boy left, Huiyue sat on the edge of the bed, ignoring the man lying on the ground, and even spoke in a cold tone.

"What happened to him?"

"We were robbed by bandits again. All the goods are gone, and the family's debt has doubled!"

The mother had stopped crying a long time ago and was now holding Huiyue's hand.

“Yue’er, no matter what, don’t go to Martial Arts City again. It’s not a good place, and your work is… it will be embarrassing if others see you.”

"I earned my own money. I didn't steal or rob, and I didn't do anything bad. I have a clear conscience! Eat quickly. I'm leaving now."

Huiyue got up after she finished speaking and went to see Yang'er. This was the situation at home. Her mother and brother were ill, her father's goods were robbed for the second time, and the debts were getting bigger and bigger. Even if there was compensation from the city, it was just a drop in the bucket. She had tried her best to make money, and the bottom line was getting lower and lower, but it was still not enough, far from enough! At present, there was no other way but to rely on Bin to manage things.

"Sister, are you going out?"

"Yes, I'll go out and earn some money and buy you some more chaos."

"Sister, I don't want to eat anymore. Don't go out. You have dark circles under your eyes."

"Be good, Yang'er. Stay at home with your mother. I'm going out first."

Huiyue said this and walked towards Xia Xiao's inn.

She needed the money, otherwise it would be a vicious cycle. Her mother's illness had been delayed for a long time, and her father's debts should be repaid. He could no longer drink and beat her mother and brother. Although Huiyue didn't know Xia Xiao's background or his life experience, she could only say sorry. Then she made up her mind and went back to Wudou City to get the things that Manager Bin had given her.
