33: Chapter 33: Unique and Incomparable
Ah Jiu looked at Wufu gloomily as she extinguished the firewood and dug out a package from beneath the pile.
Was that banana leaf?
He didn’t speak for a mont, watching her actions with interest.
But as she steadily unwrapped the layers of banana leaves, half of a tender, white chicken was revealed.
Ah Jiu couldn’t help but swallow, feeling even hungrier.
If he were to ask the girl for food, she’d probably still say, “I don’t care whether you live or die!”
Ah Jiu coughed lightly and glanced at the cloth wrapped around his foot, saying, “If the girl truly didn’t care whether I lived or died, she wouldn’t have helped
stop the bleeding and treat my injury.”
As Wufu tore at a chicken leg with her hands, she responded without lifting her head, “That’s because you’re lucky.”
“So you see, the girl isn’t heartless.
Look at this rope…” Ah Jiu added, “Rest assured, I’m not an ungrateful person.
Since you, in a sense, saved , I wouldn’t do anything to you.
On the contrary, I owe you one.”
Wufu glanced at him and said, “You’re trying to fool a child.
In this world, evil people don’t have ‘I am evil’ written on their foreheads.
Deep in these mountains and forests, you are a man, and I am a young girl.
If you were indeed to lose control, what could I do?”
At the ntion of losing control, the corner’s of Ah Jiu’s mouth twitched, his facial muscles stiffening.
“How can I trust soone who doesn’t even dare to show their true face?” Wufu sneered again and bit into the chicken leg in her hand.
Mmm, the at was really tender.
Upon hearing this, Ah Jiu’s gaze suddenly sharpened, and he looked at Wufu.
Wufu didn’t look at him, happily eating her at and drinking soup, as if he didn’t exist.
Good girl, she can really hold her ground.
“How did you find out?” Ah Jiu felt an urge to touch his face.
What exactly had gone wrong that she saw through his disguise?
The little girl was but thirteen or fourteen years old and claid to be a hunter’s girl.
Were hunters these days so impressive?
To see through his disguise!
How did she find out?
Perhaps Wufu herself had once used a similar disguise, and the techniques of that era were even more exquisite, after all, it was high technology!
So whether it was his true face or a false one, with a close observation and a quick check, one would know.
And while he was unconscious, Wufu, to confirm her perceptive ability, had already felt the ultra-thin layer of skin on his neck that was almost tightly bonded with his own skin like a cicada’s wings.
Wufu didn’t respond to his question.
Noticing that it was getting dark, she was upset because she had only caught two pheasants today due to this man.
And treasure hunting?
She didn’t even find a decent stone, all because of the delay.
She quickened the pace of her al and drank more soup before starting to pack up.
Ah Jiu watched, furrowing his brow.
Was she planning to leave with this pretense?
Indeed, Wufu slung her bamboo basket on her back, put down the half-eaten leftover pheasant, along with a stone bowl of soup and a piece of cake.
Then she walked over to Ah Jiu.
“You’re leaving?” Ah Jiu watched as she crouched down to untie the rope, feeling a sense of relief.
Wufu untied the rope from his hand, nodding toward the food, “If you’re human, then let’s leave it at that.
If you’re a beast…” She stood up, her lips curling into a smirk, “Then if I can subdue you once, I can do it a second ti.
But on that second ti, I won’t give you the chance for a third.” In other words, there would be no second chances.
Ah Jiu’s eyes narrowed slightly, his eyebrows raised.
No third chance ant death?
This girl was quite interesting.
Having said that, Wufu didn’t waste any more words with him.
She turned and left the valley.
As for the rope around his foot?
If he couldn’t untie it, then death it was!
