Chapter 190 - Nothing Is Better Than This!

The pain hit her, and her legs went limp. She almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Sang Ye hugged her in time.

He saw her pale face and immediately asked, “What happened to you?”

“I-I’m fine… Cough, cough, cough!” Huanhuan coughed until she coughed out a large mouthful of blood!

Sang Ye’s expression changed. “Are you sick?!”

Huanhuan wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said weakly, “I caught a cold. I’ll be fine after taking some medicine and resting.”

Fortunately, there were many herbs in the ring. Huanhuan did not have to worry about not having enough herbs at all. She took out the few herbs she needed, and Sang Ye helped to boil them into medicine.

Huanhuan drank it. The medicine quickly took effect.

She felt dizzy and fell asleep next to Sang Ye.

Huanhuan was sick for the next few days.

In order to prevent Han Ying from becoming suspicious, Sang Ye would feed Huanhuan the medicine every day. Then, he would go out and return in the evening. He would brew the medicine and feed it to her again.

After seven or eight days, Huanhuan’s condition finally improved.

There was a letter from Bai Di in the ring space.

Bai Di and Shuang Yun had already found the river using the signs that Huanhuan left behind, but there were no snake beasts among them. They were not good at swimming and could not go farther.

Xue Ling had already gone to ask Chang Gu for help. When Chang Gu arrived, they should be able to find the territory of the demons soon.

They predicted that it would take another three days.

Huanhuan told Sang Ye the news.

“We can get out of here in another three days!”

Sang Ye said, “Alright.”

With the hope of leaving, Huanhuan was very happy. She took out two big red sweet fruits from her space. She ate one herself and gave one to Sang Ye.

She took a bite. It was crunchy and sweet. It was delicious!

Sang Ye only looked at the sweet fruit in his hand and did not eat it for a long time.

Huanhuan said as she ate, “Don’t just stand there. Hurry up and eat. It’s sweet!”

Looking at her puffed-up cheeks, Sang Ye’s heart skipped a beat. He took a bite of the sweet fruit.

Huanhuan quickly asked, “Isn’t it sweet?”

Sang Ye nodded hesitantly. “Yes, it’s very sweet.”

Huanhuan smiled happily. “I know right!”

After eating the sweet fruit, she took out many other fruits and pulled Sang Ye to eat them with her.

She said reluctantly, “If only we could start a fire, we could even roast potatoes.”

Beasts were naturally afraid of fire, and the demons hated fire even more.

It was very dangerous to start a fire here.

Huanhuan knew this, so she was just saying it casually. Unexpectedly, Sang Ye really carried a pot back the next day. There was a lot of dry wood in the pot.

He took out some flint and lit the fire.

Huanhuan squatted beside the warm fire and asked carefully, “We won’t be discovered, right?”

Sang Ye said indifferently, “If we close the doors and windows, no one will know.”

Huanhuan took out two large potatoes and roasted them in the fire.

These mutated potatoes were especially big and tasted especially sweet, but they were not easy to cook. It took a long time to roast them.

She cut off half a roasted potato for herself and gave the rest to Sang Ye.

The freshly roasted potatoes were especially hot. She slowly and carefully peeled them. When she looked up, she saw Sang Ye biting into the roasted potatoes. She quickly shouted, “Wait, it’s hot…”

However, she was still a step too late. Sang Ye had already bitten off a large piece of potato.

He swallowed the potato slowly. “It’s okay. It’s not very hot.”

Huanhuan looked at him in surprise. “But I remember that you used to be afraid of heat!

Sang Ye avoided her gaze and reached out to pick up the potatoes in front of her. He peeled them, blew them cold, and placed them in her hand. “Eat.”

Huanhuan ate the roasted potatoes happily. From time to time, she would look up at Sang Ye, feeling very happy.

There was good food to be shared, and her family was safe and sound. Nothing was better than this!

Sang Ye extinguished the fire and brought over a basin of water to help Huanhuan wash her hands.

He washed her very carefully and gently.

Huanhuan looked up and could see his long eyelashes. She couldn’t help but lean over and kiss him on the cheek.

Sang Ye looked up at her in a daze.

Their eyes met.

Huanhuan’s heart couldn’t help but beat faster. She subconsciously closed her eyes and waited for him to kiss her.

However, this guy actually continued to help her wipe her hands clean. Then, he carried her to the bed and said calmly, “I’ll get some water. Sleep well.”

Huanhuan: “…”

Her feelings had gone to waste!

Sang Ye cleaned the house before lying on the bed.

Huanhuan had not fallen asleep. As soon as he lay down, she rolled into his arms with the blanket.

Her head emerged from the blanket. Her hair was a mess, but her eyes were surprisingly bright.

“I realize you haven’t smiled much recently. Are you unhappy?”

Although he didn’t like to smile in the past, he would still show a stunning smile occasionally. However, ever since he drank the Forgetting Water, he hadn’t smiled again. His expression wouldn’t even change slightly.

If his face didn’t feel normal, Huanhuan would have wondered if he had facial paralysis.

Sang Ye hugged her and said calmly, “I’m not unhappy.”

“Then why aren’t you smiling?”

Sang Ye was silent for a moment, then he avoided the question and said indifferently, “It’s getting late. Go to sleep.”

The more he dodged, the more Huanhuan felt that something was wrong.

She had an idea. “Why don’t I tell you a joke?”

“Huh?”

“A stone fought with some potatoes, then the stone kicked the potatoes into the sea. Hahahaha, isn’t that funny?”

Sang Ye: “…”

Seeing that he was indifferent, Huanhuan coughed awkwardly. “This joke is quite lame. Let me tell you another one. In the past, a pair of beasts fell in love, but the male beast’s family was harmed. He was going to avenge his family. Before he left, he made an oath with the female beast and gave her a crystal as a token. He promised to meet the female beast on the same day three years later. At that time, the crystal would be the betrothal gift. After three years, the female was still waiting for the male beast, but he never came. She was so sad that she threw the crystal into the sea and married someone else. However, the male beast was also waiting for the female, but the female misunderstood the date and location, so it became a regret that was bound to last forever. The male beast was heartbroken… After a few years, the male beast went out to fish. Guess what he caught?”

Her story was quite touching. Sang Ye was engrossed in it. He shook his head, indicating that he couldn’t guess.

Huanhuan patted the bed and laughed. “He caught potatoes! Hahahaha!”

She laughed until tears almost fell, but Sang Ye was still expressionless.

Huanhuan wiped her tears and asked, “Don’t you think it’s funny?”

Sang Ye hesitated. “Should I laugh?”
