456: Chapter 457: Borrowing the Crystal Stone
Can one really say that just because soone doesn’t intentionally make another person angry, the offended person must bear the brunt of it?
Surely, this reasoning doesn’t hold water anywhere.
Perhaps so might argue, the person has already apologized, what more do you want?
To that, Su Tang only wants to cryptically smile in response.
Who said that you’re obliged to accept soone’s apology?
She may be good-tempered, but she’s not so malleable Mudman to be pushed around.
She may not be able to do anything drastic to Hai Qin, but a little tease to let off so steam is more than acceptable.
However, her anger is strictly pointed at Hai Qin.
She still likes Hanna a lot.
So when she was t with Hanna’s regretful gaze, she suddenly softened inside.
“Your wound isn’t big.
Actually, you could…eat a bit less…”
Hanna paused for a bit, then gave a gentle smile to Su Tang.
Hai Qin was quick to seize the opportunity, “Then, I will eat a bit less too!”
Su Tang: “…”
Fortunately, Hanna quickly snatched the chopsticks from Hai Qin’s hand.
She asserted, “No way!
You’re not allowed to eat if the Saintess says you can’t.
What if sothing happens?
You’ll trouble her to save you again!”
Hai Qin dryly moved his mouth, “Okay, okay…”
Soon after, Hai Qin lanted his fate as he began to eat the white soup hotpot.
However, the tiny sense of grievance disappeared after only a couple of bites.
Despite the white soup pot being less stimulating than the Red Soup Hotpot, it tasted just as good!
Hanna smiled at Su Tang, blinking her eyes twice.
Su Tang felt inexplicably guilty.
Why did she feel like Hanna knew that she had intentionally refrained Hai Qin from eating the red hotpot?
But since Hanna didn’t disclose it, naturally, Su Tang wouldn’t ntion it either.
Both of them tacitly remained silent about it.
However, Hanna’s hand was injured, causing her difficulty in picking up the food.
So, she often intentionally or unintentionally asked Hai Qin to help her get so food from the Red Soup Hotpot.
Slling the tantalizing aroma of the Red Soup Hotpot but not being able to eat it was absolute torture for Hai Qin.
Especially since he had tasted it before and knew how delicious it was!
Thus, even though he was eating from the white soup pot, his eyes kept darting towards the Red Soup Hotpot.
He kept swallowing his saliva, looking hungrily at the pot.
Seeing this, Su Tang felt quite pleased.
…
After everyone had nearly finished eating, Wen Jue straightened up and looked at Hai Qin.
“Su Tang saved your life.
How do you plan to thank her?”
Hai Qin had a serious look on his face as he turned towards Su Tang, “Saintess of Taoyuan, please tell
your desire.
As long as it’s within my power, I will not refuse.”
Everyone at the table turned their gaze towards Su Tang, just as she was stuffing a large piece of at into her mouth.
Under everyone’s intense scrutiny——
she suddenly choked.
“Cough, cough!”
She had choked on a pepper from the Red Soup Hotpot, resulting in an agonizing sensation as it went down her windpipe.
She felt like she was about to cough up her lungs.
It took her several gulps of water to gradually recover.
She nestled weakly in Gaiyin’s arms, feeling a burning sensation in her throat and blinking back tears, looking utterly pitiful.
Wen Jue: “…”
He knew exactly what Su Tang wanted the most, so he didn’t beat around the bush with Hai Qin.
He got straight to the point.
“Since you have said so, I won’t hold back.
Could we borrow your rmaid Clan’s Crystal Stones?”
Expression on Hai Qin’s face turned serious.
He didn’t imdiately agree.
Wen Jue spoke again, “It’s only a borrowing, we’ll give it back.
I give you my guarantee.
Don’t you trust ?”
