Chapter 68: Bathing in the Lake (3)

  Thank you dear: Shaan 66656 sent three fresh flowers, Yanlei likes them very much, muah...

  ……

  Why was she hitting herself like that? And yet, amidst her anger, she felt a long-forgotten warmth.

  Was it because he had been alone for too long? So being scolded by a little girl in an adult tone, he actually felt a sense of family.

  All these years, because of stealing wine, he didn't know how many times he was beaten, but he never felt warmth, instead he experienced the chill of human relationships. But this time being beaten, why did it feel so different from all the other times?

  The small palm fell down non-stop, he felt a sharp pain, but why did this cold and hard heart of his warm up?

  Does he have masochistic tendencies? He was startled.

  Maybe, just as she scolded him, his mother didn't teach him manners, but instead...

  His eyes suddenly chilled, a flash of blood light flashed by, his fists clenched silently, and his face became more ferocious.

  He had been beaten for half a day, but he didn't see any movement or even struggle. Feng Qi was shocked and only then did he realize that he had been pressed underwater by himself and beaten fiercely, wouldn't he drown like this?

  In an instant, she hastily pulled him out of the water. What met her eyes was his somewhat bewildered face with a few strands of hair disheveled, staring blankly with his eyes wide open and mouth agape, looking like he had lost his soul.

  Seeing him still alive, Feng Qi's evil heart relaxed a bit, and he coldly snorted: "Now you know to be afraid? If you dare to scold me again in the future, it won't be as simple as just getting spanked."

  "I'll poison you directly, got it?"

  No matter how hateful he is, he's still a kid. Forget it! I'm at least ten years older than him in real age, so I won't bother with him!

  She quickly turned around and started washing herself. In the dark woods, she had been suffocating from the dirt for so long. Now that she finally had a chance, she was determined to wash herself thoroughly! With a sudden splash, she dove into the water and started splashing happily.

  Then, when she surfaced again after washing, she found that someone was still standing there motionless in the same posture as before, and she was stunned!

  Won't she be beaten stupid? But she was hitting her butt, not her head!

  He walked up to him and saw that his narrow and long phoenix eyes were staring blankly ahead, not blinking, his whole demeanor was desolate, with a deep sense of loneliness and desolation, making people's hearts ache.

  Similarly lonely and hurt by others, Feng Qi's heart involuntarily felt a pang of sympathy for him. She let out a soft sigh, reached out to pull him over, and gently said, "Let me help you wash up! After we're done, let's hurry and leave this place."

  "This dark forest is treacherous and unpredictable, it's better to find a way out quickly. I'm not trying to take advantage of you or have any ill intentions, I just want to help you change into some intact clothes, look at yourself, if you continue like this, you'll really become a complete beggar! Alas..."

  But this time, Huo Zui seemed to sink into his own thoughts, his eyebrows knotted in pain, and let Feng Qiye take off his top, wash his messy hair, and he remained still without any reaction.

  Until...

  Feng Qi drew out her rusty dagger with a "swish" sound and held it in front of his eyes, just as she was about to stab him in the face, he suddenly woke up from his daze.

  "What are you doing?"

  He suddenly grabbed her hand, which was holding a dagger and preparing to stab herself. Her eyes were bloodshot, and for an instant, a murderous glint flashed in them, revealing the ferocity of her entire being. This startled Feng Qiuye, who felt a sharp pain in her wrist and let out a low cry. Immediately after, she shouted at him: "What am I doing? I just wanted to help you shave off that ugly beard! What else could I do? Kill you? You little scoundrel..."

  It's really with a careful heart that she measured his gentlemanly belly, but he rarely had a good intention, and yet he looked at her in such a way, how detestable.

  ！

  She thought of Feng Qiuxia, who had never done such a lowly job from her past life to this one. Yet now, looking at his lonely appearance, she condescended to "serve" him, but he not only didn't show any gratitude, but also suspected that she wanted to kill him. It was truly too hurtful to her self-esteem!

  He came back to his senses, the flush of blood in his eyes gradually receding, replaced by clarity. He looked up at Feng Qi's angry yet clear eyes, and slowly released his grip on her hand, a hint of apology flashing across his eyes.

  Feng Qi's wrist was almost pinched off by him, and she still had some lingering fear. At this moment, she suddenly realized that as long as he got angry, his eyes would immediately turn blood red, exactly the same as the eerie blood-red light that bounced back and shocked her when she tried to kill him earlier.

  Heavens! What kind of evil skill has this stinky brat cultivated? It's not any kind she recognizes, and when he gets angry, she notices that he seems like a demon.

  If she were to confront him when he was angry, she wouldn't be surprised if he crushed her with one hand.

  "Let's get started!"

  Huh? Feng Qi was stunned, unable to react for a moment to his sudden change in attitude.

  "Weren't you supposed to help me shave? Why aren't you moving?" As he spoke, he casually leaned against a large boulder by the lake, closed his eyes, and waited quietly for Qi Xie's service.

  Actually, he also felt that his reaction just now was a bit too much! Looking at her furious and crazy little appearance, it didn't seem like she was lying. Seeing his own hair that had been washed clean, he found out that she was really helping him tidy up his image. His heart suddenly felt a warmth for no reason, so for the first time in his life, he put himself under the knife of a still somewhat unfamiliar girl.

  Feng Qi shot him a resentful glare, feeling that he was even more mysterious than before, not just like the people of Huo's family. Although she really wanted to cut his throat with one knife at this moment, but before exploring his depth, she wouldn't dare to act rashly, otherwise, maybe she would even die without knowing how.

  Just then, with Feng Qi's ceaseless movements, the beard on Huo Zui's face fell off, and his face became increasingly clear before his eyes. Qi's hand shook, almost dropping the dagger into the water.

  Hehe! As for what Huo Zui will eventually become, let's wait and see in the next episode.
