Xiao Chen was naturally aware of Hongxiu's kindness, concern, and friendship toward him. Besides, nothing in this world was difficult to repay except for the debt of affection.
He really didn't know how to treat this silly girl in the future. Frankly speaking, Hongxiu's actions had unknowingly warmed Xiao Chen's heart. Xiao Chen felt a rare sense of warmth after losing his family. It was a pity that Xiao Chen couldn't accept Hongxiu and wasn't in the mood to do so.
Hongxiu was taken aback when she sensed the gentleness in Xiao Chen's eyes. However, she quickly smiled and said, "You don't have to thank me. But you promised me that you won't be fierce to me in the future."
"Alright," Xiao Chen replied with a smile.
This was the first time Xiao Chen showed such a gentle smile to Hongxiu. Hongxiu was slightly taken aback. When she returned to her senses, Xiao Chen had already stepped into the cave dwelling.
Seeing that Xiao Chen had walked far away, Hong Xiu immediately chased after him and subconsciously reached out to grab his arm.
Speaking of which, this was the first time Hongxiu touched Xiao Chen's body. Previously, even though Hongxiu wanted to hold onto Xiao Chen's arm as if they were lovers, it was a pity that Xiao Chen didn't give Hongxiu the chance to do so. If Hongxiu wanted to touch him, Xiao Chen would immediately avoid her.
This time, Xiao Chen was slightly taken aback when he realized that Hongxiu was holding onto his arm. However, he didn't say anything in the end. At the same time, he didn't avoid her and allowed Hongxiu to hold onto him.
Seeing that Xiao Chen no longer resisted her touch, the smile in Hongxiu's eyes deepened. She followed Xiao Chen energetically and bounced around.
"Also, Xiao Chen, you can't ignore me in the future."
"Okay."
"Also, no matter where you go in the future, you have to tell me. If not, I will be very worried."
"Okay."
"Also, also …"
Xiao Chen's change made Hong Xiu very happy. She kept talking and making all kinds of requests. However, Xiao Chen always nodded and agreed. After all, the requests made by this silly girl were just small things. Xiao Chen had no reason to refuse.
Along the way, she racked her brains to make all sorts of requests to Xiao Chen. When the two arrived at the courtyard, she was still chattering non-stop. Seeing this, Xiao Chen helplessly smiled bitterly.
"I say, you've made so many requests. Do you still remember them?"
It was not a long journey, but Elegant Lady Hong had made at least dozens of requests. However, Xiao Chen did not remember these requests. Elegant Lady Hong was stunned when she heard this. Soon after, she pouted her mouth and spoke with a displeased expression.
"Oh no, oh no, I forgot. What should I do …"
This silly girl. She only remembered to make requests along the way and didn't remember them at all. Great, she made so many requests, but she didn't remember them at all.
She pouted and her eyes turned red from anxiety as though she were about to cry. Looking at this adorable appearance of hers, Xiao Chen said helplessly. "Alright, how about this? I promise you that in the future, I will try my best to satisfy all your requests. Will that do?"
"Really?" Upon hearing Xiao Chen's words, Hong Xiu immediately looked at Xiao Chen and asked excitedly.
Facing her question, Xiao Chen nodded solemnly and said. "Really."
"Then let's high-five as an oath." Upon hearing this, Hong Xiu extended her right hand and said to Xiao Chen with a serious expression. It was apparent that this silly girl was afraid that Xiao Chen would not admit it when the time came.
"Okay, a gentleman never goes back on his word." Xiao Chen also extended his hand and high-fived Hong Xiu. Only then did Hong Xiu stop crying and smile.
Xiao Chen's attitude towards Hong Xiu had changed a lot. In fact, long ago, Xiao Chen had slowly accepted, or rather, slowly gotten used to Hong Xiu's existence. However, because of his family's matters, Xiao Chen was still unwilling to face this matter head-on.
However, humans were not plants and could not be emotionless. Xiao Chen had seen everything that Hong Xiu had done for him. This silly girl had already gone to this step for him. No matter how cold Xiao Chen was, he could not treat Hong Xiu the way he used to in the past.
Xiao Chen's change made this little girl overjoyed. After the excitement, Hong Xiu immediately decided to hold a big banquet tonight to celebrate.
Xiao Chen felt helpless when he heard this silly girl's decision. This silly girl, no matter what happened, regardless of whether she was happy or unhappy, she would still hold a banquet. If she was happy, she would hold a celebratory wine. If she was unhappy, she would drown her sorrows in alcohol.
Anyway, according to Hong Xiu's words, there was nothing in this world that could not be solved by a banquet. If there was, she would hold two banquets.
After making up her mind, Hong Xiu hurriedly went to prepare the wine and dishes. However, there was one thing that Hong Xiu was indeed very picky. At least, every time she said that she was going to hold a banquet, the wine and dishes would be of the highest quality. Xiao Chen did not know where this little girl got them from.
Of course, Xiao Chen did not know that Hong Xiu's wine and dishes were all obtained from the experts of the older generation in the Eighth Realm.
Hong Xiu was the little princess of the Eighth Realm. Many experts in the Eighth Realm did not dare to refuse her. Therefore, every time, Hong Xiu could find a way to get a lot of good wine.
She hurriedly ran out and came back not long after. In the pavilion in the courtyard, Hong Xiu waved her hand, and a table of exquisite wine and dishes appeared on the table.
Looking at the fine wine on the table, Xiao Chen was naturally able to tell at a glance that they were all good stuff. Needless to say, the wine was definitely spirit wine, and the dishes were all made with all kinds of treasures of heaven and earth.
Xiao Chen looked at Hong Xiu and said with some confusion, "Silly girl, where did you get these things?"
"Oh, you don't have to worry about that. Also, don't call me silly in the future. I'm not silly at all. This is my request." Hong Xiu pouted and said.
"Okay, I won't call you that." Hearing this, Xiao Chen nodded and replied.
Wine and dishes were ready. However, just as Xiao Chen and Hong Xiu were about to drink, a clear laughter rang out. "Haha, it seems that I'm just in time. Good wine and delicious food as soon as I come out of seclusion. Not bad, not bad."
Just by hearing this voice, Xiao Chen knew that it was Ye Xiao. As expected, Ye Xiao appeared outside the cave with a smile on his face.
The moment Ye Xiao appeared, Xiao Chen had already sensed his aura. After this seclusion, Ye Xiao's cultivation had broken through to the Initial Immortal Realm, just like Xiao Chen.
He glanced at Hong Xiu. Seeing this, Hong Xiu said angrily, "This big foodie only knows how to cheat people of their food and drink."
Although she said this, Hong Xiu still asked the maidservant beside her to invite Ye Xiao in.
