42 Compensation For My Injuries (1/2)

His jaws dropped.

”What?!” Qingyu could sense his heart bleed. Even in this form, he was sure he was a beauty. How is it that in her eyes, he was perceived as a pig? A stupid one on top of that.

Hongyue frowned, she had quite liked the name, ”You don't like it?”

Qingyu stared at her in disbelief. Who was so wrong in the head enough to like a name like that?

Hongyue waved her hand dismissively. Fine. If he didn't like it, she'd just change it.

”Dumb pig.”

How was that even better? However, before Qingyu was able to answer her, Hongyue was already crouching in front of him. She had her hand out and stared intensely at him with her different colored eyes.

Qingyu stared back at her blankly. What did she want this time? As if Hongyue heard his inner thoughts, she vocalized her intention.

”Compensation.”

He didn't know if he should laugh or cry. During the whole fight, he remembered it was just him getting one-sidely attacked. He hadn't even exchanged a single blow.

”You were the one who attacked me,” Qingyu uttered, feeling wronged.

Hongyue frowned, ”I took out your poison, was lenient with you, and also gave you a new name. Since I'm currently injured because of you, you should give me compensation.”

THAT was being lenient?! She was the one who poisoned him in the first place.

And...and as for the name, who would want such a stupid name.

Qingyu marked down all the complaints in his heart, one day he'll make her pay him back in full. Why was she so unreasonable? Can she genuinely bear to bully a beautiful child like this?

Actually, Hongyue wouldn't have cared at that much who it was; she just wanted something for her loss.

”Well?” She pressed.

”We're doing this as an exchange for the truce, right?”, Qingyu articulated with his teeth clenched tightly.

He needed to make sure she would promise not to attack or kill him.

Hongyue had been contemplating the same idea. While they did fight, it was just a simple exchange so it could only be described as her testing his skills. There shouldn't be any lingering hard feelings; after all, they both weren't able to take the other one out. He didn't appear to harbor any killing intention towards her anyway. As she looked at him, Hongyue recalled what the Stone-Faced Pervert had said to her that night.

”Investment.”
