"Geese! Gulp! Gulp..."
The storage capacity of the泔水袋 was obviously not enough, so he held his chin with both hands, fearing that it would leak.
Seeing this, Chen Kuang took back the bowl and was surprised to find that the bottom of the bowl was empty.
This amount of food...
Being able to survive five days in prison without starving to death is truly an incredible skill.
Mrs. Liang squatted down and wiped her little princess's chin lovingly.
The little princess puffed out her cheeks and looked at her mother with her round black eyes. She pointed proudly at her own mouth and then at Lady Liang's.
The eyes are full of expectation.
Madam Liang was puzzled: "What is this...?"
Chen Kuang twitched his lips and said, "She probably wants to...spit out the soaked rice in her mouth to you so that you can eat it."
Mrs. Liang was stunned and imagined the scene.
Lady Liang was horrified.
Lady Liang slapped the little princess so hard that she vomited her food.
"Ugh... wow!"
The little princess vomited all over the floor and cried very sadly.
Perhaps she really didn't understand her sincere filial piety, so she used her cleverness to trick her mother from the neighbor to get some porridge for her. However, her mother not only didn't appreciate it, but also gave her a big bowl of rice.
Mrs. Liang was trying to comfort her daughter, feeling both amused and helpless.
"Okay, okay, I'm wrong, but you can't spit out the food in your mouth and let others eat it..."
"Why? But Father often asks that big sister who plays the flute to feed him the grapes in her mouth."
Mrs. Liang's face suddenly became a little gloomy.
The little swill bucket probably realized that he had upset his mother, so he comforted her:
"It's okay, my father has my elder sister to take care of him, and I have my mother to take care of her!"
She was full of confidence: "That blind man next door is so easy to fool. I'll do it again next time!"
Madam Liang: "..."
Chen Kuang: “…”
Mrs. Liang pursed her lips, and her beautiful eyes looked from the filth on the ground to Chen Kuang, and the smile on her face turned into worry.
"Mr. Chen...if you are from Zhou Country, you don't have to act like this anymore."
"The Zhou people are cold-blooded. If you can't get any information, they might just want to get rid of you."
The beautiful woman hesitated for a moment and whispered:
"If...if you really need to report, I do know a secret that perhaps few others know, and I can share it with you."
"It can be considered as repaying your kindness for the meal."
Chen Kuang shook his head:
"I've said before, there's no such thing as repaying a favor. We're even now, Madam, there's no need to repay me."
After passively acquiring "Fasting", this bowl of porridge is no longer a necessity.
Although it was another sacrifice in the eyes of Lady Liang, for him, this action was not the second time he had asked for a favor.
Besides, the best strategy to deal with this naive and weak little woman is to retreat in order to advance.
He shrugged and said sadly:
"And unfortunately, I'm not a spy. Even if I take the secret to seek credit, the Zhou people won't let me live."
"After today... I hope Madam will take good care of herself."
Mrs. Liang was stunned, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.
She actually... somewhat hoped that Chen Kuang was really a spy from the Zhou Kingdom.
This way at least he could survive.
Although they only had contact for one day, Chen Kuang did give her hope and care in her darkest moment.
Even if it might be fake...
But now that this bowl of execution meal has been delivered, Chen Kuang may only have a few days to live.
The Zhou people used every possible means in their punishments. Except for Huo Hengxuan, no one who was taken away could survive more than three days.
Of course, she didn't know that Chen Kuang, who was now essentially a human-shaped elixir of immortality, would be found to be abnormal once interrogated, and his fate might be a thousand times worse.
That's why he chose to take a risky move and take the initiative to divert the attention of the observers while creating some value for himself.
Chen Kuang was so frank and relieved.
Madam Liang felt increasingly unhappy. She had misunderstood...
Thinking of how Chen Kuang had given up his life-saving rations without hesitation in order to repay a favor that he himself had forgotten.
She lowered her head in shame and said:
"How can I be called a lady now? If Mr. Chen doesn't mind, my real name is Chu Wenruo. I have an elder brother at home. You can just call me Zhongniang."
Meng, Zhong, Shu and Ji are alternative names for the elder and younger brothers and sisters.
Chu Wenruo has an older brother in her family and is the second child, so she calls herself Zhongniang.
Chen Kuang smiled and followed suit:
"Zhong Niang."
Chu Wenruo hadn't heard this name for a long time, and for a moment he was a little dazed, but at the same time he felt as if he had broken free from some shackles, and his heart inexplicably relaxed.
She forced a smile:
"Mr. Chen, I don't think you would have had this last meal. It's my fault that I got you into trouble."
"This secret may not be what the Zhou people want, but it should be able to save your life. Whether you need it or not... just listen to it to relieve your boredom."
Chen Kuang's gaze subconsciously fell on the hazy halos on Mrs. Liang's body.
He actually really wanted to know what these meant.
Chu Wenruo whispered, "The secret is actually this sky prison."
Um?
Chen Kuang raised his eyebrows. Although it was completely different from what he thought, it seemed more important.
"The Liang Kingdom values culture, and its military is not strong. The cultivators of Mount Lingtai who protect the country have secluded themselves from the world for many years. Besides General Huo's bravery and military prowess, there is actually another important reason why it has been able to remain standing for so many years."
"It's almost become a legend—the reason Liang was able to be founded was because two great cultivators once passed away here. Their immortal bodies merged with the earth, transforming into thousands of miles of water and fertile soil. Furthermore, an impenetrable barrier protected the Liang imperial city for many years."
