Kapitel 139

Feng Xuese smiled slightly. It seemed that with careful guidance, this child could understand things.

Zhu Huihui looked at him cautiously: "Great hero, I... there's actually something else I don't quite understand."

"What's up?"

"Um...you drank my blood before too..."

Feng Xuese was speechless for a long time after being choked by her words, and finally managed to say, "Well... the situation is a little different. Luckily you didn't hurt Miss Mu, or you would have regretted it for the rest of your life!"

"What's the difference? I'm a human, and you're a human. You drank my blood, and I didn't think you were any beast!" Zhu Huihui said matter-of-factly. Regret? Of course not! Not taking the antidote when there's one available, waiting for the poison to take effect and die, would be a lifelong regret—but that "lifelong" doesn't seem to last many years!

On a sweltering summer night, Feng Xuese felt his hands and feet were ice cold—at that moment, he was convinced that this girl had the power to rupture his veins!

Zhu Huihui opened her eyes wide and looked at him innocently. Honestly, she didn't mean to annoy him; it was just that reasoning with him made her so angry—what a lack of class!

Feng Xuese took a deep breath and said, word by word, "So, I regret it now!"

Zhu Huihui asked, "What do you regret? Do you regret drinking my blood?"

I regret drinking your blood, and as a result, you have caught me red-handed, leaving me speechless with no way to refute you now!

Zhu Huihui snorted and said loudly, "But I don't regret it! My mother said that this is called... called sacrificing oneself to save others, which is very noble, so there's no need to regret it!"

Feng Xuese frowned. This girl speaks so loudly, isn't she afraid that Miss Mu will hear her?

"Did Madam Wan say those words?" I doubt that little demon Yu has that level of understanding.

Just as Zhu Huihui was about to speak, she suddenly heard a faint voice call out, "Is it... Miss Zhu?"

It is the sound of dawn, dusk, and night.

Zhu Huihui was startled. When did she regain consciousness? This was going to be difficult! Someone as clever as Chen Muwan must have already guessed what she was planning to do! Oh dear! She had originally planned to just secretly take a few bites to detoxify her and then let her go, but now it seemed impossible—she would hate her to death!

Feng Xuese sighed and said, "Go and release Miss Mu, and apologize to her properly!"

Zhu Huihui pouted: "I don't want to!"

Why don't you want it?

Zhu Huihui's eyes were brimming with tears: "Great hero, what my mother said is true!"

No one in the world understands Yu Xiaoyao's personality better than her. She can tell at a glance what her mother is joking about and what she is telling the truth.

Yu Xiaoyao said that if she doesn't live past twenty, it means that she can only live to be twenty at most. Every day and every moment she lives, she could die from the poison at any time!

Thinking of her tragic fate, Zhu Huihui burst into tears: "I don't want to die!"

Her seemingly genuine yet feigned weeping had once forced Yu Xiaoyao to surrender, and it had similarly left Feng Xuese helpless against her.

His heart felt heavy. He reached out and touched her head, saying softly, "Don't cry. Madam Wan's medical skills are divine. She must have a plan to deal with this situation since she left without worry. Even if Madam Wan can't cure it, there are many extraordinary people in the world. After this matter is over, I will take you all over the world. There must be a way!"

"Isn't that..." Zhu Huihui thought for a while, then came up with a very fitting word, "...going the long way around instead of the near?"

This child is simply unreasonable! Feng Xuese ignored her and, before she was driven mad with anger, headed towards the cave. A moment later, she helped Chen Muwan out.

Chen Muwan was physically weak and had been badly beaten by Zhu Huihui. She leaned against Feng Xuese's arm, one hand pressing her head down, looking like a willow swaying in the breeze, appearing pitiful.

She called out softly, "Miss Zhu!" Her voice was very weak.

Zhu Huihui was extremely embarrassed. She had always prided herself on her thick skin, but now she finally realized that she was far inferior to Yu Xiaoyao in every way, lacking her ability to justify her misdeeds!

Feng Xuese said in a deep voice, "Zhu Huihui!"

Zhu Huihui looked at Feng Xuese dejectedly: "Um, Miss Mu, you, cough, you were kidnapped, and a hero saved you!" This wasn't exactly a lie; that's how it really was. She just didn't say who the kidnapper was—since she didn't have a say in the matter, what could she do if she didn't admit it?

Chen Muwan, being intelligent and perceptive, surely knew this. After a moment of silence, she ultimately didn't point it out, only saying, "Yes...that's how it is..."

Zhu Huihui nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes! That's it!"

Feng Xuese sighed and said, "Huihui, come and help Miss Mu!" This rascal is stubborn enough, but doesn't he have any sense of propriety? Doesn't he see how inconvenient it is for a man to help a girl? Come and accept it!

"Oh!" Zhu Huihui puffed out her cheeks, pouted, walked over, grabbed Chen Muwan's arm, and gave it a squeeze.

Chen Muwan shuddered, as if she were testing her own weight!

Feng Xuese said, "Huihui, carry Mugu on your back, let's go back."

"Wh...what?" Me carry her? Bah! That's more like it! Mu-girl is a big girl, she's already exhausted from carrying her all the way here, if I were to carry her back, I might as well just die!

Feng Xuese hummed in agreement. Her attempt to do something so unconventional was truly unforgivable; simply sending Bei Mu back was already a lenient punishment!

Zhu Huihui was angry and roughly pulled Chen Muwan away.

Chen Muwan was almost pulled to the ground by her, and hurriedly said, "No need to trouble Miss Zhu, I can walk by myself."

Zhu Huihui immediately said, "Great hero, Miss Mu said you can walk by yourself."

Feng Xuese glanced at her indifferently.

Zhu Huihui turned her head guiltily, and caught a glimpse of the strong and robust Huanhuan. After a long while, she came up with an idea: "Um... how about letting Miss Mu ride Huahua!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Muwan nearly fainted. How could such a gentle and refined lady possibly show her face in public if she rode around on a pig?

"No, no, no! I can really walk by myself, and I don't need to bother Hua Hua!" Chen Muwan strongly declined.

Zhu Huihui spread her hands towards Feng Xuese, meaning, "See? Miss Mu herself didn't want to!"

Feng Xuese's face darkened as she said, "I'll only ask you one question: will you recite it or not?"
