Shen Xinhe was lying in the room, covering herself tightly with the blanket.
She hadn’t even taken off her clothes.
"Who’s there?"
When Zhang Xiaoshan entered, Shen Xinhe shuddered in fright, but when she recognized it was Zhang Xiaoshan, she showed her head from under the blanket.
"What is this thing, it stinks so much?"
She imdiately slled a pungent, horrible stench and quickly covered her nose.
"Sothing that can restore your beauty."
Zhang Xiaoshan walked to the bedside.
"Did you find the dicinal catalyst?"
Shen Xinhe was very excited.
Zhang Xiaoshan had rescued her from Wei Bao’s clutches, and during this period, her Qi had recovered nicely, her life was no longer in great danger, but her appearance was horrific. For any woman, it would be unbearable to accept the cruel reality of being disfigured, let alone for soone like Shen Xinhe, once considered a heavenly beauty.
She dread of restoring her beauty.
"Do you think I would trick you? This is the Rejuvenation and Skin Regeneration Ointnt I made using dozens of precious herbs, with the heart of the Red Training Snake King as the catalyst. Apply it on your skin, and I reckon your skin will be restored in ten days."
"Can this really help restore my appearance? It stinks so bad," Shen Xinhe said sowhat disdainfully.
Zhang Xiaoshan was speechless.
"Don’t you know the saying ’bitter dicine is good for health’? The dicine might stink, but its effectiveness won’t disappoint."
Zhang Xiaoshan naturally sat by the bed.
"Are you using it or not? If not, I’ll take it away."
"I will, I will. What’s the rush? I was just asking," she said hurriedly.
Shen Xinhe anxiously grabbed Zhang Xiaoshan’s sleeve.
"Hiss."
The pain in her body made her gasp in shock.
Now her Qi had recovered, and she was able to walk around, but that beast Wei Bao had been too brutal, and so external injuries still required more ti to heal.
"Are you alright?" Zhang Xiaoshan asked with so concern.
Shen Xinhe took a deep breath and stubbornly said.
"I’m alright, but there are many scars on my back, how can I apply the dicine myself?"
"Then I’ll ask your sister-in-law to co help you."
Zhang Xiaoshan was just about to go out and call soone when Shen Xinhe imdiately said.
"No need to look for her, she went to the village school with that female teacher to look for blankets because we ran out at ho. They are also bringing back so daily necessities and clothes for that teacher."
"I guess it’ll be a while then."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaoshan was overwheld.
Seeing this situation, it seems like Xu Jing plans to stay for a long ti. But what is his sister-in-law thinking, even helping Xu Jing fool around like this?
Wouldn’t that turn his ho into a stage with three won?
He was a bit worried.
"Or maybe you could apply the dicine?"
"Ah? ?"
Zhang Xiaoshan said sowhat awkwardly.
"Isn’t it a bit inappropriate, with just us here, a lone man and a single woman, this..."
Shen Xinhe lowered her head and said shyly.
"I, I promised you, didn’t I? If you rescued from Wei Bao, I would give myself to you. What’s there to fear from a re glance?"
Zhang Xiaoshan swallowed hard.
The previously unapproachable woman now adopting such a demure, even slightly flirtatious deanor made Zhang Xiaoshan feel slightly triumphant.
But this was in his own ho.
He didn’t know when Xu Jing and his sister-in-law would return.
What if they were caught?
After thinking it over, Zhang Xiaoshan still felt the risk was too great.
"I think we should wait..."
"Wait for what? Are you, are you afraid your sister-in-law will walk in? I’ve long seen that sothing is off between you and your sister-in-law."
Shen Xinhe’s words made Zhang Xiaoshan’s heart pound anxiously.
"What are you talking about? How are my sister-in-law and I off?"
"Then why won’t you apply the dicine? Do you, do you find too ugly to touch now?"
As she spoke, large tears began to flow from Shen Xinhe’s eyes.
Pitifully.
"I might as well die, to end it once and for all, so I don’t have to suffer your disdain."
Zhang Xiaoshan’s heart imdiately softened.
It couldn’t be such a coincidence to be caught, could it?
"Don’t cry, I didn’t an that. I’ll apply the dicine, just take off your clothes."
Upon hearing this, Shen Xinhe’s tears stopped imdiately—it was anyone’s guess whether her frail appearance just before had been feigned.
She completely threw off the blanket and began peeling off her clothes, one piece at a ti.
