Martial arts have become extinct worldwide, yet I am forced to have a large family.

"I won't look for it."

"I find it too much trouble."

Yang Xian's answer was concise and to the point.

"You..." Ye Huairou gritted her teeth.

"Are you going to drink it or not?"

Yang Xian interrupted her, his tone becoming somewhat impatient, "Fine, don't drink it then. I don't want to waste precious water resources."

As he spoke, he made a gesture as if to screw the water bottle cap back on and put it back into his backpack.

"etc!"

Ye Huairou blurted it out almost without thinking.

But inside, I was struggling madly.

On one hand, there was her obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness, which she had maintained for nearly twenty years; on the other hand, there was the burning sensation in her throat.

but……

But I'm so thirsty...

Do not!

I don't want to die, and I can't die!

The teacher is still waiting for me to go back!

And the exact location of that crack...

Ultimately, the will to live triumphed over everything.

Ye Huairou said with a hint of grievance, "I'll drink it..."

"That's more like it."

Yang Xian turned around and held the water bottle to her lips again. "Hurry up, don't waste time."

Ye Huairou closed her eyes resignedly, without looking at the bottle.

Then, her soft lips gently touched the metal bottle opening.

The warmth of that stinky old man still seemed to linger on it.

She slightly opened her mouth, and cool water flowed down her throat, moistening her parched body.

It was very quiet inside the cave.

All that remained was the sound of the girl drinking water and her increasingly rapid heartbeat.

[Ding! Detected a significant emotional fluctuation in the character 'Ye Huairou'!]

[Humiliation: Damn it! I actually drank his water... +200 points!]

[Embarrassing: Using the same bottle opening, does this count as...indirectly kissing him? +100 points!]

A moment later, Ye Huairou quickly separated from the bottle opening, a glistening drop of water still clinging to her lips.

She licked her lips, seemingly still wanting more.

"Um... thank you, uncle."

This time, Ye Huairou's thanks were much more sincere.

"You're welcome."

Just give me more points.

Yang Xian put the water bottle back in and put the cap back on.

"Now that you've finished drinking the water... it's time to change the dressing."

"Change the dressing?"

Ye Huairou was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized an extremely serious problem.

Her gaze suddenly fell downwards, landing on the obviously ill-fitting gray T-shirt, and her mind went blank.

and many more!

Where's my combat uniform?!

Whose clothes are these oversized garments I'm wearing?!

"ah--!"

"satyr!"

"You big pervert!"

Ye Huairou screamed and struggled to sit up.

The excruciating pain from the injury instantly spread throughout his body, leaving him powerless in all four limbs.

My body...

I was seen naked by the person I hate the most...

How am I supposed to face people after this...?

【Ding……】

[Shame and indignation +300 points!]

[Resentment +300 points!]

Looking at the extra 600 points, Yang Xian was secretly pleased, but he didn't mince words.

"Why such a big reaction?"

"You were so badly injured the day before yesterday. If I hadn't helped you take off your clothes and treat your wounds, would you still be alive today?"

"Seriously, my good intentions were completely wasted!"

"If you really want to die, I can send you on your way right now, saving me the trouble."

"You're a burden; do you really think I want to save you?"

Yang Xian's words showed absolutely no tenderness or pity for the woman.

A large part of the reason for saving the other party was because of the points.

But the sooner we finish the mission, the sooner we can go back to find Mengyun and Lingling.

It's not like I absolutely need Ye Huairou's points!

"But, but..."

The more she listened, the more aggrieved she felt, but she couldn't find any reason to refute it.

hateful!

So what if I've been seen?

I didn't lose a single piece of my flesh!

Compared to surviving, what is this little bit of shame?

Besides, he's a male martial artist; he can't possibly do anything to my body...

"I'm...I'm sorry, sir, it was my fault just now."

"I promise, if I manage to get back alive, I will reward you handsomely!"

A generous reward?

If you just leave me alone, I'll be thanking my lucky stars!

Yang Xian scoffed inwardly.

However, he wouldn't say it out loud:

"My reward for saving lives is very high."

"Tell me first, who are you? I need to consider just how substantial your 'generous reward' really is."

Upon hearing this, Ye Huairou immediately became somewhat unconvinced: "Don't worry, I definitely won't let you down!"

They're quite tight-lipped; you can't get any information out of them.

Yang Xian's tone was full of disdain:

"Hmph! Anyone can make empty promises!"

"How can I know if you're telling the truth or not if you don't reveal some information?"

"What if you heal from your injury and just leave? Who am I supposed to complain to?"

"Huh?!" Ye Huairou's voice instantly rose.

How dare you doubt my character?

Throughout Canglan University, everyone knows that Ye Huairou is a man of his word!

Would I lie to you, you old geezer?

【Ding……】

[Outrage +100 points!]

Ye Huairou was furious, but she also understood that this was not a school, and empty promises were not very convincing.

Unless the other party is stupid, they won't easily believe it.

However, the teacher repeatedly warned that when gaining experience outside, one must never easily reveal one's family background, otherwise it could lead to a fatal disaster.

but now……

Ye Huairou glanced at Yang Xian and felt a wave of helplessness wash over her.

With my life in their hands, what's there to fear about being killed...?

"My name is Ye Huairou, and I'm a freshman at Canglan University!"

"Our teacher's name is Zhong Lianyun, and he is a sixth-realm Martial King!"

"This identity should be enough to pay your fee, right?"

She snorted and proudly revealed her identity.

Hearing this, Yang Xian pinched his chin and nodded gently.

It turns out they were students from Canglan University.

They must have come here to gain experience.

His skills are quite good, but his personality... is really terrible.

"It's alright, just barely enough."

Ye Huairou: ? ? ?

What does "okay" mean?

What does "barely enough" mean?

What do you mean by that tone?

【Ding……】

[+100 points!]

"Well then, sir, I've already revealed my identity..."

Ye Huairou suppressed her anger. "What about yours? You can't expect me to not even know the name of my savior, can you?"

"Me?" Yang Xian shrugged. "I'm just an ordinary middle-aged man."

Trying to trick me into revealing information?

Think beautiful!

"Alright, enough nonsense, it's time to change the medicine."

"etc!"

"What's wrong now?"

"Could you... could you... close your eyes...?"

Yang Xian seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. "How am I supposed to change your dressing if you close your eyes? By touching you with my hands?"

Then he glanced disdainfully at Ye Huairou's chest.

"Alright, alright."

"With your flat chest, I wouldn't pay too much attention to you..."

[Ding! Detected a significant fluctuation in the emotions of the character 'Ye Huairou'!]

[Shame and indignation: Flat-chested?! He called me a flat-chested person!!! +300 points!]

[Feeling wronged: Waaaaah... I'm not small at all... +100 points!]
