In an instant, he felt the heat in his heart cool down a lot.

He looked at the girl in front of him, and he wasn't as arrogant as he was yesterday.

He nodded gently and politely: "Don't worry, young lady. Since you saved my life, I will certainly pay you the generous reward you promised me. However, I am still injured, and the situation outside is as you saw last night, so I may have to stay in the mansion for a few days. I hope you can give me a place to stay."

He paused for a moment before continuing, "Of course, I will pay you back all the money I've spent in your house these past few days."

After saying this, he felt relieved and the slight worry in his heart disappeared.

He smiled slightly, thinking that he was overthinking it. The other party didn't want to save him in the first place. It was only because he made a promise to the other party that the other party came to his rescue.

It’s a transaction!
And this way things will be much simpler.

Thinking of this, he felt much more relaxed.

He turned around and looked at the woman again.
The feeling the other party gave him today was completely different from the feeling he gave him yesterday.

Huo Tang originally wanted you to make the other party pay the money he deserved and then let him go.

When she heard the other party say that he would stay here for a while, her brows furrowed.

It's obvious that this man's identity is not simple, and those who are chasing him are also very powerful. Who knows what's behind them.

If he stayed here for too long, it was inevitable that those people who were looking for him would find her and cause trouble for their Anyang Palace.

After hearing the other party say that all expenses here would be paid, she thought for a second, then shook her head and refused: "Since you are awake, our deal is over. Hand over your thank you gift and you can leave. As for this place, it may not be convenient, you should find another place."

After saying that, Huo Tang looked at him and stretched out a hand to him, somewhat expecting what the generous reward he was talking about would be.

It's obvious that this person is not a simple person. He shouldn't just give me something to get by.

Thinking of this, Huo Tang looked at the other party with a somewhat dangerous look. If the other party dared to really do this, he wouldn't mind throwing the other party back into the hands of those people himself.

Si Li didn't expect the other party to refuse. A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. Why?
I have made it clear that I will not stay with her for nothing.

And she...

Thinking of this, he secretly looked at the other person.

He remembered how passionately this man looked at him yesterday. He had always been very confident about his looks, and he didn't know how many girls had been obsessed with him since he was a child.

The way this woman looked at him yesterday was the same way those women had looked at him before.

So if I live with her, shouldn't she be happy?
But when he looked over, he found that the other person's eyes were looking at him differently than yesterday, and it made him feel inexplicably dangerous.

He was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether it was because he had been unconscious for too long yesterday, but now his mind was a little confused for a while.

Only now did he realize that the other party was raising one hand, as if expecting something, and he then recalled the complete words the other party had just said.

He was surprised again for a moment, not expecting the other party to be so direct.

And the other party rejected his request to stay here.

For a moment, he didn't know how to respond. After a long pause, he finally spoke, "I'm sorry, I was being abrupt. Please pretend I didn't say anything."

After saying this, he stretched his hand into his arms, his expression froze, and he looked down.

Only then did he realize that his inner clothes had been replaced by someone else and were no longer the clothes he was wearing. His face turned ugly for a moment.

He lowered his voice and asked, "Where is the clothes I wore yesterday?"

Huo Tang did not miss the coldness in the other person's eyes.

She pointed to the room she had left and said, "I had someone treat your wounds and change your clothes. They are in your room. No one has touched your things."

After hearing this, Si Li obviously breathed a sigh of relief, then returned to the previous room and put on the clothes he wore yesterday.

It was the same red dress again, but this time it was tattered and had a lot of blood on it.

When he put it on, he looked like a down-and-out nobleman.

He placed the item on the stone table and said, "This is the thank you gift I promised you yesterday. Please accept it. We will be even from now on."

Huo Tang looked at what the other person placed on the stone table. It was another medicine bottle. She could feel the fluctuation of spiritual power inside, but she didn't know what was inside.

She looked at the other person, waiting for an answer. If someone gave her something, he should let her know what it was and then let her estimate its value.

See if the gift from the other party can be considered a valuable gift.

Si Li seemed to understand her expression and explained, "This thing is called Huitian Pill. If a person is seriously injured and has not completely died, taking this thing can save their life. Moreover, once taken, their strength can be greatly improved in a short period of time."

After hearing this, Huo Tang nodded. This thing is quite good and can be called a good thing.

But the surprise for her wasn't that big.

As long as she has the medicinal herbs, she can make something similar.

So it’s not so rare for me.

However, she also knew that this could be considered a life-saving treasure, and the other party was sincere in taking this thing out, so she did not make things difficult for him and accepted the thing.

Si Li saw her accept the things and nodded and was about to leave. Since the other party was not convenient and had clearly rejected him, he could not stay there shamelessly.

Fortunately, after a night of recovery, his injuries were indeed much better, which showed that the other party had put a lot of effort in treating him.

You won't be completely unable to protect yourself.

Moreover, after thinking about it, he realized that his decision just now was indeed inappropriate. After all, he still had a lot of troubles behind him. Taking him in would mean causing a lot of trouble.

In this case, it is better for me to leave as soon as possible.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Huo Tang called out to him, "Wait!"

Si Li turned around and looked at her.

Huo Tang said seriously, "We still have a debt to settle. You paid me the money I gave you for rescuing you yesterday, but you should pay for the medicine I spent on you!" (End of Chapter)
