Chapter 41 The Treasure Girl’s Treasure
Chapter 41: Chapter 41 The Treasure Girl’s TreasureAnother tear-soaked morning, Chen Xiyao awoke from that perplexing dream to her usual sight of Feng Xue preparing breakfast.
Today’s breakfast was still some strange meat. Chen Xiyao didn’t see any signs of fire; she had no idea how he managed to cook the slices of meat.
In no time at all, she stuffed the meat slices into her mouth, then took a few gulps of warm water, and suddenly she sensed something was off.
"Right, usually at this time, he should be opening the door to take me to the bathroom! Why do I have to ask today?"
Chen Xiyao frowned slightly. After several days living together, even somewhat awkward matters like this should have reached a tacit understanding by now.
Why...
"Get ready, we need to move to a new place." Just as Chen Xiyao was pondering, Feng Xue’s voice suddenly arose, catching the gradually adapting Chen Xiyao completely by surprise:
"What, have we been found out?"
"Not yet, mainly it’s just that there are some troublesome creatures outside the wall."
Feng Xue sighed, thinking about those bad omens he saw in the forest that morning, and he felt somewhat unwell.
He had been careless before, forgetting that even the waste of a person from the real world would be True Objects!
"Troublesome creatures?" Chen Xiyao, sensing the description, twitched her nose slightly and then noticed that the bloody smell on Feng Xue seemed stronger!
And it was different from before, this time it was closer to the scent she would smell every month...
This was human blood!
"Are you injured?!" Chen Xiyao looked at Feng Xue anxiously, but he shook his head and said,
"No."
Even though his answer was so resolute, Chen Xiyao imagined all sorts of scenarios where he might be hiding his injury to prevent her from worrying. In the end, she was just a high school student with no medical knowledge. Even if he was indeed injured, she wouldn’t be able to help, and might even make things worse.
Thinking about this, Chen Xiyao felt even more inadequate about her burdensome attributes.
"Alright, don’t space out, we must change our location, and from now on, we have to switch places every two days. Also, when you need to go to the bathroom, remember to dig a hole and bury it afterward. I’ll make you a spade in a bit."
"..." The complex emotions that had just arisen in her heart instantly evaporated, replaced by an intense awkwardness. Just the thought of herself digging a hole eradicated her previous sorrow.
Totally unaware that someone was mentally criticizing him as an "atmosphere destroyer," Feng Xue opened the door and began
This led him to fear that using an outsider’s items might turn him into a harbinger of doom.
After bringing Chen Xiyao back to the city and finding a new temporary residence based on his previous experience, Feng Xue looked at Chen Xiyao with anticipation. It seemed the intensity of Feng Xue’s gaze made Chen Xiyao a bit uncomfortable as she hesitated before finally pulling out a book about three fingers thick from her backpack, turning red-faced (the kind of large pirated book often seen in rental bookstores, with a capacity of seven to eight hundred thousand words).
Only then did Feng Xue finally realize why the girl was acting so coy; the title on the book was "Young Soldier King’s Adventures in the Otherworld"...
"..."
"..."
After a brief, mutual gaze, Feng Xue decided to break the awkward silence, taking a deep breath and then saying with a tone of jest, like that between reading buddies:
"One’s preferences are free..."
