Chapter 172 - Wherever You Are, There I Will Be (1/2)

“Fine. Forget it. Forget it, then. I won’t be so calculative,” said Ling Chuxi as she waved her hand exaggeratedly and stood up. “All right. Zhuoyi, go and pick branches so we can start a fire and bring back two rabbits. Yichen, get your senior brother out of the water. He is quite weak now.”

“What about you?” asked Xia Zhuoyi as he blinked innocently.

“I’ll sit here and wait for you guys,” replied Ling Chuxi. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and stared at Xia Zhuoyi. “Why? Are you not satisfied with this arrangement?”

“I’m fine. I’m fine with it,” replied Xia Zhuoyi. He originally wanted to raise both his arms to indicate his resignation, but he suddenly remembered that he still had the monster beast’s egg tucked under his armpit. Therefore, he only comically raised a single hand before turning around and leaving to pick firewood and hunt resignedly.

Ling Chuxi turned around and stalked off to look for Little White.

Once Ling Chuxi and Xia Zhuoyi left, Ling Yichen went forward to support Fu Chengyu. “Senior brother, how are you feeling at the moment?”

“I’m fine,” replied Fu Chengyu with a smile. “Is this the Ling Chuxi you mentioned in your letter? If I had not met her by chance today, I really might not have been able to awaken ever again. I really need to thank her properly.”

“Senior brother, Chuxi is actually a very nice girl. Don’t mind her acting like this,” said Ling Yichen as he smiled while feeling somewhat embarra.s.sed. Just recalling Ling Chuxi’s att.i.tude toward Fu Chengyu earlier, Ling Yichen felt that it really could not be counted as something good.

“Of course I don’t mind,” said Fu Chengyu with a smile. “All right. Could you help me get changed into dry clothes? My body does not even have an ounce of strength now. I don’t even know which acupoints Miss Chuxi stabbed earlier. Although the frost poison has been suppressed, I’ve lost all my strength,” said Fu Chengyu as he pointed at a bundle lying nearby.

“Senior brother, the fact that Chuxi can help you solve your frost poisoning is really great!” exclaimed Ling Yichen as he recalled Ling Chuxi’s words. He could not help but feel happy.

“Hopefully, she can really do so,” remarked Fu Chengyu in a soft voice as the corner of his lips curled slightly into a bitter smile.
