“Xiaomo, let me take you to breakfast.” Duan Feiyu took Duan Xiaomo’s hand gently.
“Okay,” Duan Xiaomo answered.
Although it was just one word, Duan Feiyu got so excited that he almost jumped, his face turning red in joy as he forgot about the intense cold.
“Xiaomo, you have really recovered! Do you know who I am?” Duan Feiyu asked excitedly, his voice shaky with emotion. Although Xiaomo had been with him all this time, no matter what he said or did, Duan Xiaomo had never responded. This was the first time he had gotten a response!
“Yes. Thank you, big brother,” Duan Xiaomo said calmly.
“Xiaomo, you have truly recovered! That’s great!” Duan Feiyu was so happy that tears welled up in his eyes. He couldn’t stop himself from picking Duan Xiaomo up and spinning him around a couple of times.
After a while, Duan Feiyu put down his younger brother and turned to Ling Chuxi, babbling emotionally, “Thank you, Chuxi, thank you. You really cured Xiaomo. I, Duan Feiyu, don’t know how to repay your great grace and kindness. I can only—”
“Don’t worry about it. I think you should take Xiaomo to eat first, he must be hungry,” Ling Chuxi quickly cut Duan Feiyu off. She was afraid he would pledge to marry her as a form of repayment.
“Hehe…” Duan Feiyu also realized where his words seemed to be headed, and laughed awkwardly, blushing. If he really wanted to pledge himself to marriage, it would not be repaying her grace, but rather taking advantage of her. He nodded quickly and took Duan Xiaomo to have breakfast.
After they left, Ling Chuxi carefully hid the box the Ink Jade Crystals had been in. A thousand Ink Jade Crystals had gone, just like that. If others knew, they would get suspicious and might even find out about Cang Yuan. Ling Chuxi had to be very careful.
After hiding the box, Ling Chuxi washed her face and got ready for breakfast. When she walked out the room, she felt like something was missing. Oh, right. Where was Little Red?
Ling Chuxi turned around and went to look for it. Eventually, she found him sleeping soundly at the corner of the bed, its paws its in the air.
“Hey, lazy worm, get up.” Ling Chuxi grabbed Little Red’s tail and held it up, then shook it a couple of times.
Little Red opened its eyes and woke up. It blinked slowly, looking around blankly.
‘What happened just now? Why did I suddenly lose consciousness? What happened with that sword?’ Since he had been forced awake by Ling Chuxi, the pitiful Little Red had not yet fully awakened, and its brain was still foggy.
He stared at Ling Chuxi but did not notice any difference. He subtly glanced at her Luo Chen Sword, but there was also nothing different about it. A monster beast’s perception towards spiritual items was usually extraordinarily keen, but it did not feel the existence of a sword spirit at all. It just looked like an ordinary sword that had gotten better after being tempered by the heavenly lightning.
“Was it a hallucination?” Little Red’s eyes were glazed over, and it was feeling a bit absentminded. Had it been dreaming last night?
“You only know how to sleep all day. Do you have any idea how fat you are? You still have to guts to sleep!” Looking at Little Red’s vague expression, Ling Chuxi ruthlessly pinched his butt again, enjoying the feel of it since Little Red had gotten fatter.
“Wu…” Little Red whimpered miserably, twitching violently a couple of times.
‘Illusion, it must have been an illusion. How could such a despicable person have such a powerful spirit sword? I must have been dreaming just now.’ Knowing objecting was futile, Little Red gave up its meaningless struggle and cursed silently in its heart.
