Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

"Huh? You still want to resist?" Hu Tao tried to pull her hand away but couldn't.

With this movement, the sensation of touch became even more pronounced, and Jiang Bai felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were on the verge of committing a crime.

"Quick...come down..."

His voice was low and hoarse, as if he was trying to suppress something.

Hu Tao belatedly realized what was happening and jumped three feet high as if she had been electrocuted.

"what!!!"

Hu Tao's face turned so red it looked like it was about to bleed, and even her whole body turned red, just like a boiled shrimp.

She quickly pulled out a large coat and wrapped herself tightly in it, then disappeared in a flash without even putting on shoes.

Jiang Bai was left lying on the ground, his face covered with a bath towel.

After a while, Jiang Bai lifted the bath towel, opened his eyes with difficulty, and looked up at the sky with a look of utter despair.

He wiped the blood from his nose, and when he looked at it, his hand was covered in bright red blood.

"What a tragedy..."

I lay there for a while before the nosebleed stopped.

Walnut had completely disappeared from sight; all around was quiet except for the sound of the flames burning on the Flame Flower.

He jumped into the hot spring pool in an attempt to cool down, but the hot spring had no such effect at all; instead, it felt like adding fuel to the fire.

He looked down, then at his right hand, and then nervously glanced around.

"Phew, it's all up to you now..."

Chapter 536 The Hall Master is the Most Important Person to Me

P.S.: The previous chapter is finished and released.

------

Walnut ran into the woods, her little fists clenched and her teeth grinding together.

What a despicable guy!

That despicable guy!!

How could this be?!

The little ghost drifted over, bewildered, not knowing what had happened.

Walnut grabbed it, pulled its face away, and gritted her teeth: "I told you to guard it properly, and this is how you guard it???"

The little ghost is innocent.

Jiang Bai was as fast as the wind, he was gone in a flash. It was just a little ghost, it couldn't even touch him, how could it possibly stop him...?

Hu Tao angrily squeezed and flattened it, then stuffed it into the ring.

She crouched behind a big tree, hugging her knees and becoming withdrawn.

After an unknown amount of time, Walnut, having changed her clothes again, returned to the campsite on the beach.

"Boss, you're back!"

Hu Tao responded listlessly.

Yi Dou peeked behind her but didn't see anyone.

"Where's Jiang Bai? Didn't he go to look for you? Why hasn't he come back yet? The violets I roasted are all cold."

The mere mention of Jiang Bai makes Hu Tao furious.

She tugged at a blade of grass she'd casually plucked, and said sarcastically, "Who knows why that audacious fellow hasn't come back yet..."

Not long after Hu Tao finished speaking, Jiang Bai awkwardly emerged from the darkness.

He had actually arrived a while ago, but he felt awkward because he hadn't figured out how to face Hu Tao.

Ichito stared at him in shock. "What happened to your face?"

In the flames, his handsome face was now swollen like a pig's head, covered in bruises.

Especially the eyes; saying they resemble a panda would be quite realistic.

"I accidentally tripped and fell..."

"Can a fall really cause this much damage?" Idou didn't believe it.

Although he was very curious, Ichidou wisely refrained from asking further questions. His intuition told him that asking the question would be dangerous.

"It's too dark, I can't see the road..."

"Tsk tsk tsk, be careful." Ichidou clicked his tongue twice and handed over the Violet Claws that were stuck in a twig.

"Come on, it's already cold. If you want it hot, just grill it again yourself."

Hu Tao said nothing, silently ate the violet claws, silently set up the tent, and silently went to rest.

Yi Dou glanced at Hu Tao, who had entered the tent, and then at Jiang Bai, who dared not speak. "What's wrong?"

Jiang Bai said with a pained expression, "I made a mistake..."

Yi Dou waited quietly, but after a long time, he said this and then fell silent.

"and then?"

"That's all..." Jiang Bai covered his face.

He swore he really didn't expect Walnut to be soaking in a hot spring!

If he had known, he would have watched secretly instead of rushing forward so recklessly!

Yi Dou glanced at him with disdain, knowing that this guy must have angered Hu Tao.

For his own safety, he decided to pretend nothing had happened and go about his business as usual.

"It's getting late, time for bed."

He crawled into his own condensed coffin, closed the lid, and the outside world's disturbances became irrelevant to him.

Jiang Bai added three more layers to Yi Dou's coffin for soundproofing, and then quietly moved it to the front of Hu Tao's tent.

The flames cast no shadows inside the tent, and Hu Tao was clearly already lying down.

"Master..." he called out softly.

There was no sound coming from inside.

"Master, I really didn't mean it... I really didn't know you were soaking in the hot spring..."

Inside the tent, Hu Tao clutched the blanket and gritted her teeth.

She knew this guy was coming, so she wanted to get dressed and come out quickly, but little did she expect...

She simply pulled the blanket over her head, not wanting to talk to this guy.

Jiang Bai squatted for a long time, and his legs went a little numb.

Seeing that there was no sound coming from inside, he quietly moved to the tent entrance, preparing to open a small hole to see what was going on inside.

He had just pulled down a little when he met the little ghost's resentful gaze.

Jiang Bai chuckled and casually zipped the zipper back up.

Hu Tao didn't know when she fell asleep.

All I remember is that in my dream, Jiang Bai was grinning slyly, not rushing at me directly, but instead peeking at me while I was soaking in the hot spring.

She was even angrier when she woke up.

I was both angry and ashamed.

For two days in a row, Hu Tao didn't speak to Jiang Bai.

Jiang Bai was so anxious that he scratched his head and cheeks.

"Hall Master, Hall Master..."

"Hall Master, Hall Master..."

Jiang Bai buzzed around the walnut like a fly.

Walnuts are driving me crazy.

"Will this ever end?!"

Jiang Bai hugged her hand and wiped away her tears: "Waaah, Sect Leader, you finally spoke to me..."

Looking at that bruised and swollen face that showed no trace of handsomeness, Hu Tao pulled her hand away with extreme disgust.

"Get out of the way."

Jiang Bai massaged her shoulders solicitously, "I won't leave, I won't leave! I'll stay wherever the Hall Master is."

Hu Tao was so annoyed by him that she had no choice but to let him be.

Yi Dou sat to the side, eating melon seeds.

They were making smacking noises, eating with great relish.

Jiang Bai was furious when he saw him.

Is his acting something that anyone can watch?

"Did you get your stance right? Did you practice your boxing today? Did you add any weights? Maintaining a boat is too easy!"

Yi Dou grabbed his melon and quickly ran away.

Seeing that Yi Dou had walked away, Jiang Bai held Hu Tao's hand and acted coquettishly.

"Master, I really didn't know you were soaking in a hot spring..."

"I told you not to come over, but you completely ignored me!"

Hu Tao shook off his hand, angry.

"I was just worried something had happened because you were shouting so anxiously, Master..." Jiang Bai said, sounding aggrieved. "I got so anxious that I didn't think much about it..."

He sobbed twice, wiped away his tears, and his voice was filled with extreme sorrow:

"The Hall Master is the most, most, most important person to me. I'm always worried that something like what happened at Wuwang Slope will happen again... Back then, you almost died in front of me, burned to ashes..."

When the conversation turned to sadness, Jiang Bai rested his head in the crook of her neck, his voice muffled:

"So, I'm terrified. Terrified that one day you'll disappear from my sight, terrified that I won't be able to protect you... terrified that I'll only be able to watch you die..."

Hu Tao couldn't describe how she felt upon hearing those words; all her anger vanished completely.

She pouted, thinking that this guy was deliberately pretending to be pitiful.

But she was truly powerless against this move.

But she wasn't really willing to let this guy off so easily.

"You still...you still..."

Her face flushed red, and she couldn't bring herself to say the rest of the sentence.

Jiang Bai said, feeling wronged, "Master, that's a physiological reaction, I can't control it..."

Hu Tao was speechless after hearing that sentence.

She wasn't some clueless child; she had read some pamphlets and couldn't really use that to blame Jiang Bai.

Jiang Bai brought his face close to Hu Tao's, looking at her pitifully.

"Master, my face hurts..."

"Serves him right!" Hu Tao snorted, looking at the bruises on his face that hadn't faded, and took out some medicated oil.

"Sit down, let me apply some medicine for you..."

Chapter 537 They've made up already?

Yi Dou, holding two tree branches, poked his head out from the bushes.
