Both Liang Zhuangmin and Hua Honglou stopped meditating and looked at Xiang Shaoyun in confusion.

”I have some healing spring water here. Come take some. It will increase the speed of your recovery,” said Xiang Shaoyun while handing them some of the liquid.

The two were overjoyed and consumed the liquid without hesitation. Xiang Shaoyun then went through the storage ring again, but nothing else caught his attention. One ought to admit that Xiang Shaoyun's standards were a tad bit too high. Some tier-3 or even tier-4 items couldn't even attract his attention.

As far as he was concerned, the most valuable item he had received was the ring itself. After all, even Skysoar Realm experts would rarely have something like this in the Cloud Margin Pavilion. But even so, this ring was in fact not really a significant gain.

Well, I can give this to big brother, thought Xiang Shaoyun.

In the blink of an eye, half a day pa.s.sed. Both Liang Zhuangmin and Hua Honglou woke up from their meditation. They had healed significantly, but they would still need some time to recover their combat prowess.

Hua Honglou winked her eye and said, ”Thank you, Xiang Shaoyun.”

”You're welcome. You are my bed warming maid. How can I let others bully you?” Xiang Shaoyun said as he rubbed his nose.

”Yes, yes, when we leave this place, I will go warm your bed,” said Hua Honglou while shooting Xiang Shaoyun a glare.

Facing the bold response, Xiang Shaoyun ended up feeling embarra.s.sed. ”Hehe, we'll talk about that after I give it more thought.”

”Oh? Why the hesitation?” Hua Honglou asked in a provocative manner.

Earlier, she already had the thought of committing suicide when Devil Face was about to rape her. Xiang Shaoyun coming to her rescue had caused her to feel extremely grateful to him.

In any case, Xiang Shaoyun was a handsome young man with extraordinary temperament. He was a giant among men, and a person with his qualities would be able to easily attract the fairer s.e.x.

Thus, it was natural for Hua Honglou to have a good opinion of him. And with him being an enemy of the Lightning Alliance, she felt even closer to him. Now that he had saved her, although that wasn't enough for her to offer her body as grat.i.tude, her opinion of him had still soared considerably. Any man would find it hard to endure an attractive woman's teasing.

With a perverse smile, Xiang Shaoyun replied, ”Remember your words. Don't regret it later.”

”I, Hua Honglou, have never done anything I will regret,” declared Hua Honglou firmly.

Xiang Shaoyun had no interest in sticking with this topic, so he started talking about something else, ”Oh, by the way, where are the others? They're not all dead, right?”

Hua Honglou's expression dimmed, and she said, ”I am the only survivor among the people who came with me. Yaxuan and Zilong were not with us, and with their strength, they should be fine.”

”Anyone coming into this place has already prepared for the possibility of death. Don't blame yourself,” said Xiang Shaoyun. ”Have you heard of any soul springs?”

Hua Honglou's expression went stiff for a bit before she said, ”Yes, and I have even gotten one!”

She was telling him the truth because he had saved her. If he requested for the soul spring as repayment, she would not refuse him, but from now onward, she would no longer have anything to do with him. And if Xiang Shaoyun ended up not taking advantage of her while she was in her current predicament, she would be able to see clearly his real character.
