White Lotus held the bowl of soup and asked, "Did you take care of your sister like this when she was sick?"
Jiang Wang smiled naturally at the mention of Jiang Anan.
"She's a very good child. She doesn't throw a tantrum when she's sick. She'll be very happy as long as I buy her something delicious. So I bought it for her. Mutton from Cai Ji, soup from Du Dewang, pastries from Gui Xiang Zhai … "
Jiang Wang listed Jiang Anan's favorite foods one by one. The more White Lotus listened, the more upset she felt.
The soup in her hand suddenly … It wasn't delicious to begin with.
When your sister was sick, you ordered all kinds of delicacies. I risked my life to save your life, and you gave me this kind of thing?
She roared in her heart, but she smiled dryly.
"Okay, thank you."
White Lotus stopped Jiang Wang from talking.
She found that this person was a man of few words, but as long as his sister was mentioned, he would suddenly have a desire to express himself.
"Well, you're weak. You should talk less." Jiang Wang raised his hand. "Drink, drink. There's more in the pot. I'll give you more after you finish."
White Lotus automatically filtered out the last sentence. After hesitating for a while, she brought the soup to her face.
She suddenly stopped and looked at Jiang Wang. Her beautiful eyes blinked. "Do you want to watch me drink? Do you want to know … what I look like? "
"Sorry, sorry. I forgot. Sorry. "Jiang Wang turned and walked out of the cave.
"Hey!" White Lotus called out to him. When he turned back, she said with a smile, "Help me take off my veil …"
Her voice was sweet, gentle, and tugged at his heartstrings.
Jiang Wang felt his lips were a little dry. It was impossible to say that he wasn't curious about White Lotus's appearance. Although they didn't spend much time together, every time they met, it left a deep impression.
This woman's figure, voice, and eyes were all top-notch. Jiang Wang couldn't deny his curiosity about the veil. He even had a vague expectation.
And now, White Lotus asked him to take off her veil.
There was no need to hesitate.
Jiang Wang strode in, reached out, and gently took off the veil …
Under the veil …
It was a beautiful face …
Mask.
It was an exquisitely made and beautifully composed mask with a lotus flower pattern. It miraculously combined the two styles of holiness and strangeness.
"Hahahaha!" White Lotus laughed so hard that her whole body was shaking.
Jiang Wang's hand froze in the air, and then he withdrew it.
I should have known … he thought.
"You can drink the soup," Jiang Wang said coldly. After being teased again, he angrily walked out of the cave.
White Lotus's laughter didn't stop for a long time.
Jiang Wang stood outside the cave and looked at the sky with a melancholy expression.
In the cave, the black bear looked at his back with a melancholy expression.
When the laughter finally stopped …
"Gulp ~"
"Poof!!"
White Lotus roared, "Jiang Wang! Are you trying to kill this old lady here? It tastes even worse than it looks! "
…
"Here, this is the jam I made myself. I used the sweetest wild fruits, the cleanest water was condensed using water elemental Daoist techniques, and the purest wood elemental vital energy nourished it. Then, I carefully controlled the fire and mixed it with my heart. "Jiang Wang had a sincere expression on his face." Do you want to try again? "
White Lotus looked at the gaudy pile, and then looked at Jiang Wang with a sincere expression. "Jiang Wang, I beg you, just pick wild fruits for me. I like to eat them raw, really. "
Seeing White Lotus's sincere expression, Jiang Wang felt refreshed.
In Jiang Wang's memory, this was the first time White Lotus had ever given in to him. It was all because of his superb culinary skills.
There was no harm in having more skills. The ancients didn't lie!
He went out again and picked a large pile of wild fruits. White Lotus ate the fruits in the cave, and Jiang Wang continued to stand guard outside the cave.
He looked at his two "pots" and felt a little awkward.
Did they really taste that bad?
The so-called pots were just larger stones with a hole in the middle.
One pot of wild vegetable soup, the other pot of wild fruit jam.
One pot was colorful, and the other pot was colorful. They competed with each other and complemented each other.
He leaned closer to his cooking and hesitated for a moment. In the end, he didn't dare to take a bite. After all, White Lotus's performance was too pitiful. She didn't even scream like that when Ji Xuan beat her up last night.
However, Jiang Wang couldn't bear to throw it away just like that. After all, he had worked very hard and put in a lot of effort.
"It's too wasteful …"
Jiang Wang muttered. His gaze wandered aimlessly and landed on the black bear that was sitting obediently.
"You, come here." Jiang Wang waved at it.
…
…
Jiang Wang had been gone for a long time.
He was a disciple of the Dao Academy. He was talented, hardworking, and had a bright future. He had his own life, good friends, and an adorable sister.
His life was originally peaceful and bright.
White Lotus sat quietly in the cave, her eyes filled with disappointment.
In fact, her body had recovered very well. The effect of the Flesh Rebirth Soul Return technique was extremely compatible.
That was a secret technique that she had only heard of and had never mastered. It was a power that came from the abyss of the Netherworld.
This undoubtedly strengthened her judgment.
However, she had a rare moment of hesitation.
Was it because of that bowl of disgusting wild vegetable soup?
Or was she already prepared to welcome the sudden warm embrace when she was about to die?
White Lotus couldn't tell.
She wasn't a soft person, but she had unexpectedly pretended to be weak for a long time.
She let out a long sigh.
But everything had an end, just like last night.
…
When the bone messenger appeared, White Lotus had already put on her black veil again. She looked like she was breathing slowly and didn't seem to be seriously injured.
Outside the cave, there was a black bear that was foaming at the mouth and lying limp on the ground.
"It's just a wild beast. Just kill it. Why torture it?" The bone messenger stood outside the cave and said.
"You're surprisingly kind." White Lotus leisurely walked out of the cave.
"It seems that the rumors are wrong. You're not injured." Of course, the bone messenger wouldn't care about a black bear that was foaming at the mouth. He just casually found a topic and continued, "I was burning with anxiety when I got the news. Fortunately, I was worried for nothing."
White Lotus automatically ignored the second half of his sentence and said softly, "I don't know who wants my life so much. Not only does he know my whereabouts like the back of his hand, he even hooked up with Ji Xuan. Aren't you afraid that I'll be captured alive … and expose all the secrets of the organization? "
"In short, it won't be me. If it were me, I wouldn't have come alone. "
"Of course. If I die now, it won't do you any good. As for the future, I'm not sure. "
"Look at what you're saying. No matter when you die, I'll be very sad." The bone messenger turned and walked out, carefully wiping away the branches that blocked the way.
The two of them shuttled through the forest, stepping on the rustling leaves.
The distance between them was very subtle. They seemed close, but they were also wary of each other.
Of course, they could be teammates who fought side by side. They could be fellow disciples who fought for the same goal. But if they weren't careful, they would become the target of each other's devouring.
It had to be said that this feeling of walking on the edge of a knife was the most familiar to White Lotus.
Her steps became lighter and lighter. As she walked, she suddenly asked, "Messenger, has anyone ever risked their life for you?"
"Yes!" The bone messenger didn't even turn his head. "Those who want to kill me often risk their lives."
"That's true." White Lotus laughed softly. "People like us."
