Saving Xie Fuzhou - Chapter 2

Chapter 2

I seemed to be able to hear his thoughts.

Maybe we had kissed long enough, because by the time we separated, the demonic energy had already vanished.

I stared at Xie Fuzhou’s face, so close it was almost touching mine. He lifted his eyelids with chilly indifference, as if he might reach out and snap my neck in the very next second.

But judging from his thoughts, he probably… didn’t want to kill me. Right?

[She’s looking at me. Wuwuwu, I must look so pathetic right now.]

[That damned Shen Xiao! Next time, I’ll definitely kill him!]

I tried to get up, but my legs, having carried me three hundred li, refused to obey.

Xie Fuzhou reacted quickly and caught me. One arm slipped beneath my knees while the other wrapped around my shoulders, and he lifted me up and set me down properly on a rock.

Then, as if performing a magic trick, he started a fire and turned to leave the cave.

[She’s so light, so soft. I still want to hold her!]

The crisis seemed to be over. Outside, night had already fallen, and even if I wanted to leave, I had no idea which direction my sect was in.

My stomach was growling with hunger.

I had only been spacing out for a short while when something bloody abruptly appeared in front of my eyes.

A wild mountain rabbit, skinned, gutted, and neatly cleaned.

I had never seen anything like it before. My face went pale with fright.

[She looks awful. Does she not like rabbit?]

My lips trembled, and I turned my head away.

Then Xie Fuzhou handed me the rabbit again after roasting it until the outside was crisp and the inside tender. The aroma was unbelievably tempting.

I swallowed, thanked him, took it with both hands, and devoured it.

Soon my mouth was slick with grease, and I was so happy I almost cried. It was too good! I had never eaten such delicious roasted rabbit in my life!

So delicious that if two people were eating together and one of them dropped dead, the other wouldn’t even notice!

[She looks pretty weak. How is she about to cry just from eating a rabbit?]

[But the way she eats is so cute too!]

[Tsk. She may be a little troublesome, but I’ll definitely protect her properly.]

At that point, who had the time to care what Xie Fuzhou’s thoughts were saying?

Until he stared darkly at my lips, his eyes carrying a hint of something unfathomable.

[She hasn’t kissed me in half an hour. I really want to kiss her.]

My breath caught, and I nearly choked to death.

Xie Fuzhou looked over in confusion and reached out, seemingly wanting to pat my back to help me catch my breath. But before he could touch me, a vast wave of sword energy swept in from behind and forcibly split the two of us apart.

The half-eaten rabbit in my hand fell to the ground.

The real Shen Xiao stood there in black robes. All I could see was the back of his head.

He grabbed my arm and shielded me behind him, pointing his sword at Xie Fuzhou from a distance.

“Xie Fuzhou, don’t touch my junior sister.”

I looked at the rabbit on the ground, my eyes reddening, choked speechless.

Xie Fuzhou’s expression changed. He stared fixedly at the hand Shen Xiao had wrapped around my arm.

A scarlet hue crept bit by bit into the corners of his eyes. Demonic energy began to stir at the ends of his hair, and the tips lifted despite the absence of wind.

His entire body was so thick with hostility it was as if he wanted to snap everyone’s necks.

[I’m going to chop off his hand!]
