What was wrong with Xiaye? Shi Sheng had clearly rejected him, yet he could still stay here as if nothing had happened.
Shi Sheng squatted in front of the door, munching on melon seeds as he looked at the man not far away. He sighed in his heart. To be the main character, one had to be thick-skinned. He must be too thin-skinned to be cannon fodder.
[…] Is your skin thicker than the city walls? How could you be thin-skinned?
How shameless could the host be?
Fine, the host had always been shameless.
"Here you go." Xiaye handed the can to Shi Sheng.
Shi Sheng continued munching on melon seeds. "I'm not eating." He was afraid it might be poisonous.
"It's not poisoned."
"Then I'm still not eating." Bro, get lost. Don't show up in front of me. I'm going to lose control and beat the male lead up.
Xiaye did not force Shi Sheng. He sat aside and opened the can to eat by himself.
Shi Sheng was speechless.
Shi Sheng got up and stayed away from this psychopath.
For the rest of the time, Xiaye stayed nearby and prepared all three meals for Shi Sheng on time. Shi Sheng felt a chill run down his spine. What was the male lead trying to do?
Could it be that he wants to please me first, and then dismember me when I let my guard down?
He was afraid.
There were always idiots trying to harm him.
Shi Sheng held his chin and thought about how to kill the male lead so that he could have some peace.
"Miss Yu." Jian Yi's voice suddenly interrupted Shi Sheng's thoughts.
Shi Sheng turned to look for Xiaye. The female lead was here. Could the two of them cultivate their relationship?
However, Shi Sheng only saw Xiaye's back. He was gone …
Gone …
Gone …
His heart was so tired.
Your official title is here. Why are you leaving?! Come back, male lead!
"Miss Yu." Jian Yi did not see Xiaye. She walked straight to Shi Sheng. "We need some water. Can you let us get some?"
Shi Sheng said weakly, "Didn't we just get some water yesterday?"
Jian Yi was a little embarrassed, but she still forced herself to explain, "Something happened this morning. We ran out of water, so …"
According to the agreement, she would fetch water once every three days, and the amount each time was sufficient. However, this time was indeed an accident. Otherwise, she would not have come in person.
This lunatic was sometimes easy to talk to, and sometimes difficult to talk to. No one knew what kind of temper she had.
"Then stay thirsty. You won't die if you don't drink water for a day or two." Shi Sheng patted his skirt and stood up. He said mysteriously, "I'm a Great Immortal with principles. I can't break the rules for you."
"…" Could she scold him? Jian Yi took a deep breath and tried her best to force a smile. "Miss Yu, we have injured people up there. We can't do without water. Can you let me take less water?"
"No," Shi Sheng said coldly. "I told you that I'm a man of principles."
Jian Yi looked at the lake not far away. Her face was full of frustration. There was so much water, and she could only look at it. She could not even take it.
Jian Yi tried her best to persuade him, but Shi Sheng refused. She had already agreed to let them fetch water once every three days, and there was no limit to the amount of water they could fetch each time. How could they blame her for running out of water?
In the end, Jian Yi could only leave with her people unwillingly. They wanted to fight with her, but the result was that they would not be able to win. It would also waste their energy, so they could only suppress this impulse.
Shi Sheng waited for Jian Yi and the others to leave. Xiaye did not appear for a long time, but she did not care. She went straight to her room to sleep.
In the middle of the night, Shi Sheng smelled the aroma of meat.
It was not the aroma of canned meat, but the smell of fresh barbecued meat.
Shi Sheng rubbed his messy hair and sat up. He looked at the empty space in a daze for a moment, then got out of bed and walked to the side of the bed. The closer he got to the window, the stronger the aroma.
The window was half-open, and with the moonlight outside, he could clearly see the scene outside.
Xiaye was barbecuing something, and the aroma of the meat was coming from where he was.
Perhaps sensing Shi Sheng's gaze, Xiaye turned to look at him. In the next second, he was already standing outside the window. He handed the fragrant barbecued meat to Shi Sheng. "I caught it this afternoon. It's fresh."
Although the world had become like this, there were still some edible animals. It was just that they were very difficult to catch, and the taste of their meat was not as good as it used to be.
Shi Sheng quietly closed the window, blocking Xiaye outside. Then, he took out a fruit and began to eat it.
Was she the kind of person who would bend over for a piece of meat?
No!!
Didn't I know to catch it myself?!
Shi Sheng dragged the Iron Sword out. Xiaye was still standing outside, looking at Shi Sheng through a cluster of green plants that were half the height of a person.
Shi Sheng silently rolled his eyes and walked into the desert with the Iron Sword.
She did not believe that the male lead would be so kind. He must have a purpose. She would pack him up and throw him out when he was full.
The temperature difference between day and night in the desert was huge. Right now, the temperature was probably below zero. With the night wind blowing, it was even colder. Shi Sheng took out a cloak and wrapped it around himself.
Looking for living things in the desert was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Shi Sheng directly asked the Iron Sword to search for them.
The Iron Sword was very unhappy. It was such a noble and elegant sword. Why did it end up being used like this?
Its heart refused to accept it.
However, its body was honest.
When the Iron Sword went to look for food, Shi Sheng sat on a rock and looked at the sky. The sky in this world was very strange. He could only see the moon, but not the stars.
Most importantly, the moon did not seem to have changed.
And that lake …
It was very strange.
The Iron Sword's ability was not for show. Very quickly, it returned with a string of things. Shi Sheng suspected that as long as it was alive, it would be able to string it back.
The Iron Sword was very proud of itself. It even spun in circles in the air, asking for praise.
Shi Sheng: "…"
How the hell was he going to eat centipedes and scorpions?!
People would die, okay?
Shi Sheng threw away all the poisonous things and returned with the edible things.
Before returning to the lake, he heard screams coming from the other side of the lake. Shi Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly and quickened his pace.
There were several people standing at the place where the water was fetched. One of them was being supported. They looked at the center of the lake in horror.
The center of the lake was bubbling like boiling water. Ripples were spreading out from the center of the lake, and the entire lake seemed to be tumbling.
Shi Sheng: "…"
It was over!
There was a stone in the center of the lake. It was the stone she had stopped at when she came here. She had gotten rid of the vines earlier. When she turned around, she found that the stone had moved to the center of the lake and was slowly sinking.
However, it did not move after that. She had tried to get rid of it, but the stone would run away. Every time she attacked it, it would move back to the center of the lake.
That stone might have become a spirit.
She usually tried her best not to get close to the center of the lake. Who knew what the hell the stone was?
These people were all Jian Yi's people. She had refused Jian Yi's request to fetch water during the day. These people might have come to steal water, but for some reason, they provoked the stone in the center.
