Chapter 44 – It’s Better for Her to Owe You a Favour!

Note : Xuemo is pretty foul-mouthed…

Ning Xuemo did not answer him; instead, she wiped her hand using a brocade handkerchief, and then cupped her chin with both of her eyes smiling at Ji Yunhuang. “Is Your Highness interested in the antidote? How about I tell you how to refine it, and we can consider the debt that I owe you for saving me this time repaid?”

Ji Yunhuang’s eyes flashed, smiling slightly. “I am not interested in the formula of the antidote nor how to refine it. Miss only needs to purge out the remaining poison in your body.”

He already somewhat understood this little fox’s personality.

Although she seemed cunning and sly, she knew how to differentiate between kindness and enmity…

She would repay people back for their help as she did not like owing anything to anyone.

Hence, it was better that she owed him something!

‘Boring!’

Feeling bored, Ning Xuemo turned her body away but forgot that she was injured. The movement aggravated her injury, causing her to tightly purse her lips and to issue out a slight hissing sound. At the same time, beads of sweat rolled down her forehead.

Ji Yunhao saw that her face looked slightly pale. He knew how painful these wounds could be. Even if it was a full grown man, he would also suffer from these wounds to the point that he would at least slip out a groan.

But this little brat could actually tolerate such immense pain. She did not even let any sounds of distress escape from her throat despite of the pain’s intensity, and she could even smile.

Just what kind of life and environment could nurture this ability to bear tremendous pain?

He knew more or less about the matters of Marquis Ning Jingyuan’s Mansion. He knew that Ning Xuemo’s life these past few years had been tough, always being bullied by people.

If she could bear all of these hardships, he did not find it odd that her character became as such. But this level of pain tolerance… It was beyond what he had expected.. This caused his heart to faintly admire her.
