Chapter 184: Chapter 184

The man looked at Yun Ran with a resentful expression, "I saved you, yet you don’t think of repaying me with yourself. Fine, but do you really wish I were dead?!"

"Yes! Go ahead and die already."

"Hey, I’ll add some poison to this chicken soup, poison you, heartless girl."

He used his silver chopsticks to tear some chicken and put it in a small bowl, then carried it over to the bedside and sat down, saying solemnly, "Come, I’ll feed you some freshly brewed poisonous chicken soup."

Yun Ran looked at him disdainfully and reached out to snatch the bowl from his hand, "I’ll do it myself."

The man dodged backward and winked at her, "You’re injured, I’ll feed you."

"No need, I’ll drink it myself!"

"Then carry it away yourself."

If Nangong Mo fed you, you’d drink it, but if I feed you, you won’t?

The man looked at Yun Ran for a moment with a gloomy expression, seeing her determined without any room for negotiation, he had to pass her the bowl and spoon.

"Be careful, don’t get burned or touch the wound, else it’ll heal slower. Drink slowly, don’t choke..."

Yun Ran interrupted him coolly, "Are you a nagging old woman?"

So, he silently sat aside and picked up Yun Ran’s book to read.

Yun Ran glanced at him disdainfully, "Reading things little girls read? Why? Want to be a girl? Should I help you out?"

Where did he offend this little lady?

The man pursed his somewhat stiff lips and silently put down the book, standing by the door.

"Are you a door god then? Standing there to ward off evil? You’re blocking my light!"

Why does it feel that even breathing feels wrong?!

So, he silently moved to the side, looking back at her, "Is it okay to stand here?"

Yun Ran gave him a blank look, lowered her head, and drank the soup, ignoring him.

Heartaches for himself!

After Yun Ran finished drinking, he promptly went over to fill another bowl for her, diligently advising, "You need to eat and drink more so the wounds heal quicker."

"Once they heal, I’ll chop you up with a knife."

Should he just leave her here to fend for herself?

Thinking this, he yet again used silver chopsticks to tear more chicken into her bowl, "Then eat more, heal quicker, and I’ll find you a knife."

After Yun Ran finished drinking, he collected the bowls and chopsticks while looking at her expectantly, "How’s the taste? Is it good?"

"Not as tasty as your family’s dog’s cooking?"

Yun Ran was left speechless, silently looked at the sky outside the window.

[Actually, she wanted to say, it’s not bad!]

[The taste is indeed somewhat good, much better than her own cooking! He really is talented!]

The man lightly blinked, was this praising him?

Feeling delighted, his mood lifted, "What kind of soup do you want in the evening? Fish soup or bone broth?"

Yun Ran’s starry eyes half-squinted, looking coolly at him, "I want to drink your blood."

Thinking of how to feed her white and plump; she always wants his life...

Ha! Women! So ruthless!

Once night fell, Yun Ran lit a candle and sat on the bed reading a book.

Because she discovered there was only one bamboo house in this valley. True, although the house was quite large, there was indeed only one room.

And inside the bamboo house, there was only one bed, and the door wasn’t locked.

When he walked in, Yun Ran glanced at him nonchalantly, continuing to flip through the book without batting an eye.

The man stopped by the bed, raised an eyebrow, "So late, you’re still not sleeping, planning to read all night?"

"So what if I am? Can’t I?"

The man spread his hands innocently, "How would I dare say no?"

"But, aren’t you sleepy?"

Yun Ran was naturally tired, but not reassured enough to sleep.

She glared at him irritably, "None of your business!"

The man propped his hands on the bed edge, slightly leaned closer to her, blinked lightly, speaking teasingly, "Speaking of, not sleeping, could it be because you’re scared?"

Yun Ran’s breath paused, threw a book at his masked handsome face, "Stay away from me!"

The man chuckled lightly, his laughter sounded pleasant and unrestrained, "Struck a chord, angry out of shame?"

The man reached to touch the top of her head as if comforting a little dog, speaking extremely gently, "Be good, sleep peacefully. There are no wild beasts here in the mountains, no need to worry about being carried away while you sleep."

[Was she worried about this?! Just very speechless!]

Without reservation, threw a book onto his arm, "Get your paw off me!"

"You’re the one carried away by beasts! You’ll be eaten by beasts until not even crumbs are left!"

The man pressed his fingertips against the mask lightly touching his temple, gently shook his head and sighed, "Didn’t expect someone looking so good to have such a dark heart!"

"Ah... poor Nangong Mo! Marrying such a venomous beauty, truly pitiful!"

"Tomorrow I’ll send him a hundred gentle, understanding, beautiful maidens to comfort his troubled heart and soul."

[For a moment couldn’t find words to describe her mood, wanting to kill someone for relief!]

The girl’s starry eyes slightly squinted, her gaze coolly lingering on the man before her, curling her lips into a cold smile, "You can try."

The man lightly blinked, seemingly eager to try, "What happens if I do?"

"After you try, go ask King Yan for the answer."

"Also, don’t stand in front of me, you’re an eyesore."

This much despises him?

The man coughed lightly, stroked his chin, "Aren’t you worried about being carried away by beasts? I’m here to guard you!"

The man seemed puzzled, pondering briefly, then realized, "Speaking of, is it possible... you’re not worried about beasts carrying you away, but me taking advantage of you while you sleep?"

[If there were a knife in hand right now... surely wouldn’t hesitate to attack!]

Yun Ran took a deep breath, casting a cool gaze at him, "Shut up! Say another nonsense word, I’ll make you regret being born!"

The man hummed lightly, appearing quite aggrieved, "Clearly you’re the little girl inferencing a gentleman’s heart with vile thoughts!"

"I’m an outstanding gentleman, hardly a beastly character!"

"Besides, given your weak and powerless state now, at my mercy, do you believe I’d wait until you sleep to do anything beastly?"

"Believe me, I could bind your hands now and bully you mercilessly?"
