After this hesitation, Wang Yao stopped again. However, he had just finished a breathing exercise and felt much better than before. Judging from this, his immortal body was recovering at a rapid pace after waking up, and he estimated that he would be fully recovered soon.
He glanced down at Qinghe, who was still standing there in a daze, then turned around, intending to go back to his ward and lie down properly. Damn it, he was just a useless immortal now, so he should wait until he recovered before thinking about anything else.
But as soon as he turned around, he felt a gentle breeze and Qinghe flew onto the balcony and came to his side.
"Here you go." A blue cloth bag was handed to Wang Yao.
"What is that?" Wang Yao instinctively backed away, asking in astonishment.
"Look at you, you coward! Your old man gave you this, he'll eat you alive!" Qinghe rolled her eyes at Wang Yao.
"Dad?" Wang Yao was stunned for a moment before realizing that this must have been sent by that mentally ill immortal Ao Guang. "Where is he?"
“He came once and saw you were still sleeping, so he asked me to give this to you, saying that it would help you recover quickly,” Qinghe said. “He also told me to tell you that he’s been quite busy lately and won’t be coming to see you for a while. He looked really unwell; he’s probably in the hospital too.”
"Oh..." Wang Yao nodded and took the cloth bag. It felt soft to the touch, and he didn't know what was inside. He was still a little touched. It seemed that Ao Guang was also injured in Wangxiang Valley, but he still cared about him. He was afraid that he had misunderstood Ao Guang when he suspected that Ao Guang was deliberately taking advantage of him.
"Are you... alright?" Wang Yao didn't pay attention to what was in the package, but asked, looking at Qinghe's face.
"I'm bad, I'm incredibly unlucky, what's good about me?" Qinghe said defiantly. "Didn't the fairy tell you? I'm a rebel now, I have to go to a re-education class, and I might even go to jail."
"It's alright. The fairy told me that you helped me destroy the tribal alliance delegation, helped her monitor the monkey tribe, and helped the Heavenly Court stabilize the Liang tribe's situation. The Heavenly Court doesn't consider you a traitor. If you had to go to a study class or go to jail, would you still be able to come to the Immortal Realm?" Wang Yao hurriedly comforted her.
"What's the use? I'm a fox demon, and in the eyes of the Heavenly Court, there isn't a single good fox demon." Qinghe shook her head.
"Who cares what they think? As long as you're still free, isn't that enough? You don't need them to support you. Besides, who in the Six Realms can be universally praised? With me and the Fairy Maiden, all the immortals you know think you're doing well, isn't that enough?"
After hearing Qinghe's words, Wang Yao didn't know how to persuade her, so he could only say things that pleased her.
"Really? You really think I'm great?" Qinghe was indeed happy after hearing Wang Yao's words, and looked at Wang Yao with a smile in her eyes.
“Of course, what kind of relationship do we have? We’re sworn brothers! To be honest, there are only a handful of people in the Six Realms who have shared life-or-death experiences with me, so in my heart, you are definitely a good person. If I didn’t think you were a good person, would there be any justice in the world?” Wang Yao said sincerely.
"How many people have you had a life-or-death bond with? How many is 'how many'?" Qinghe asked, blinking her big, watery eyes.
Wang Yao hadn't thought much before saying that, but when Qinghe asked, he couldn't help but start counting on his fingers. Caixia was definitely one, the fairy maiden had to be counted, and Wuying and he themselves had run away until only their heads remained, so of course they should be counted too...
He and Qin Su had almost perished while exploring the Three-Way Center, so it was natural to include that... He was engrossed in his calculations when Qing He, listening to Wang Yao's rambling, noticed her expression growing increasingly grim.
"Stop calculating, what's so special about it? It makes me sick!" Qinghe suddenly retorted.
"What do you mean by disgusting? This is a true friendship that's been through thick and thin together. What's wrong? You're also..." Wang Yao was momentarily stunned.
"Don't mention me! I've never fought any professors with you, survived any great calamities, or encountered any spirits. I have no interest in associating with your 'life-or-death' lovers!" Qinghe retorted angrily.
"Uh..." Wang Yao seemed to realize something. "What nonsense are you thinking? Wuying is not a confidante, calling her a 'black confidante' is giving her too much credit."
"Besides Wuying, do the other three count?" Qinghe stared at him.
"Uh..." Wang Yao scratched his head. Damn it, if you include Qinghe, four out of his five life-or-death friends are... It does seem a bit unreasonable.
"You...you're being a bit unreasonable." Wang Yao's expression turned serious. "Fairy, that's my boss Lü Xian's lover. She's several generations older than me. I respect her very much. You can't just make wild guesses."
"Qin Su, you know even better. My relationship with her is different between immortals and demons, so how could it be as sordid as you think! Let me tell you honestly, I, Wang Yao, live an upright and honest life as an immortal, and I do things with integrity. Do you think I want to risk my life? It's all for the safety of the Six Realms!"
"You are absolutely not allowed to slander my glorious and arduous battles in the Six Realms!" Wang Yao rebuked fiercely.
"And what about Fairy Caixia? What did Fairy Caixia say?" Qinghe asked, her eyes still wide, unfazed by the serious accusation Wang Yao had leveled against her.
"Um... Fairy Caixia, she... oh dear, she's the granddaughter of the Heavenly Emperor, you know? She's of noble birth, a member of the royal family, how could she possibly look down on a mere matchmaker like me? When I went to fight the beast masters with her, it was all on her orders!"
"In her eyes, I'm just an ordinary little immortal in the celestial realm, no different from an ant. Don't get the wrong idea and make it seem like I'm some toad trying to eat swan meat. If you keep acting like this, I... I'm really going to lose my temper."
