When Tian Yao woke up, he discovered he was laying on a soft daybed.
------It had been a long time since he slept on such a soft and warm bed. He laid there for a long time. It wasn't until he heard Yan Hui's voice from outside the room did he recall his thoughts.
"I want three orders of wontons. The meat kind with lots of meat. I want extra meat. Don't skimp on the meat."
"Alright. Would you like to add any soup or vegetables to your order?"
"No. If you have any good alcohol, bring a jar."
The waiter nodded and clattered down the steps.
Tian Yao struggled upwards, but when he moved, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. He helplessly laid back down. Yan Hui heard his movements and walked into the room to his side.
She glanced at him: "Don't try to be tough. I examined you. You have internal injuries, so just quietly lay there for a few days."
Yan Hui didn't need to say that for Tian Yao to realize the extent of his injuries. When he had been knocked into the tree by the burly demon, Tian Yao knew his wounds weren't minor. He couldn't even struggle up. It was just that he was so used to enduring pain. It wasn't until he jumped into the river that the pain was too much for his body to handle. That's why he fainted.
He didn't continue along with what Yan Hui was saying. Instead, he changed the topic: "Xian cultivators under the Dao avoid eating meat and drinking. Are you not concerned you're harming your cultivation?"
Yan Hui rolled her eyes: "You still have the guts to ignore me." She snorted, "If it wasn't for me eating so much, do you really think I would've had the strength to haul your deadweight onto the bank?"
Tian Yao moved his head around. His shoulders felt sore and swollen, as if someone had been dragging him. He asked Yan Hui: "You really did haul me out." His tone wasn't skeptical but certain.
Yan Hui really did drag him out. She also almost ripped his pants in the process......
She cleared her throat. She turned her head and sat down by the table to get a drink of tea.
The room was silent for a long time. In the end, Tian Yao broke the silence: "Didn't you say you wouldn't help me?"
"I didn't want to help you," Yan Hui pouted. "But I am a righteous and benevolent girl. How could I let someone be killed by demons in front of me......"
