37 In the forest!

Zhu Zhuqing POV-

I saw the cloaked guy place his hand over his hoodie and then he began to remove the hoodie. After removing it, what I saw was...

I was dumbfounded! Another hoodie? Huh? What?

Seeing my reaction he laughed "Haha, your face...Haha"

Ah! He is so annoying. I really want to punch him. I sighed and said "Why can't you show your face? Don't worry even if you are ugly, I won't change my opinion about you and think you are disgusting. You are the one who saved my life and I am indebted to you"

He chuckled upon hearing this and said "You will change your opinion but it will be quite opposite."

Huh? what does that mean?

I took the wooden bottle to drink some water. My hand is still paining but I have to bear the pain and drink it. I changed the subject, "So, what is your age?" Is he really 16 years old or older than that?

At this time, he looked at me thought for a moment and said "12 and yours?"

Hearing this I choked and spitted the water. *cough* *cough*

What the fuck? 12 years old? And he defeated a 3000 years soul beast with a single strike?

He giggled again seeing my reaction. Damn you! No wonder you thought for a moment. You waited for the moment I would drink water and then you replied to surprise me. You just want to see my reaction and laugh at it. You annoying idiot!

But his laugh is really charming. It makes me more curious to see his face.

I placed the water bottle on the floor and said "I am 11 years old. But you are quite grown up for a 12 year old boy."

Then he looked at me, his head tilted down and looked at my body. I can feel that he is gazing at my…boobs, I was flustered. W-What is he looking at?

He said "I can say the same thing to you. You are grown up in 'certain' places for your age."

I was very embarrassed upon hearing this and yelled "You shameless guy!" He again laughed at it and said "Your face is beet red…haha"

I don't know why, but I am not feeling any anger after hearing his words. I felt happy that he is complimenting my body.

He then asked "What are you doing in the forest alone when you are only 11 years old? Came to enjoy nature?"

Came to enjoy nature? Huh? This guy really knows how to irritate me. "I was just going back to my home. But on the way some assassins ambushed us. I somehow escaped from them and was trapped in this forest. And when I was going to get killed by a Phantom tiger, a 'certain' cloaked person appeared and killed the Phantom tiger with one strike and saved me."

"Oh! I see. That cloaked person must be a kind-hearted and handsome guy." he said in an amused tone.

Narcissistic bastard! "So, what are you doing alone in the forest when you are only 12 years old? Came to enjoy nature?" I asked him.

He nodded and said "Hmm, something like that. Because I am too powerful, I began to explore the mainland. And when I reached here, I saw a 'certain' girl going to get killed by a Phantom tiger, so I saved her."

Too powerful? I am confused and asked, "You are too powerful?" Well, he is really powerful for a 12 year old boy. But, too powerful?

He nodded again"I am so powerful, even my 'teacher' placed a 'seal' on me to restrict 75% of my powers."

Xuan Yan thought 'Well, that is absolute bullshit! My teacher doesn't even know what level I am.'

What? I was truly shocked. Even his teacher placed a seal on him to restrict his powers. Is this really true? "T-Then the power you used to kill that tiger with one strike. You only used 25% of your power."

He shook his head slightly and said, "Not even close, If I had full power, I can take you out of this forest within a second. It's been a year and the seal will break in 6 days and I will take you out of here at that time."

Hearing this, I was convinced. he is spitting lies! I will see it after 6 days!

I sighed and asked, "So what level are you now?"

"69!"

Huh? I was stunned and asked, "You are level 69?"

He chuckled and said, "No, I am not!" I knew it. You are just spitting lies. Talking with him, dried my tongue. I took the water bottle again to drink water.

At this time, he said, "I am level 86!" I was shocked and again choked and coughed the water. *cough* *cough* You damn bastard.

I yelled "Why are telling lies? you idiotttt"

He replied "Huh? lies? It's up to you to believe it or not." After that only silence remained.

After a while, he got up and left the cave. Where is he going? At least tell me where you are going, you annoying idiot!

Even after a long time, he didn't return. I panicked. H-he abandoned me? I was abandoned again? I slightly curled up my legs. I was left alone? Teardrops came out of my eyes unknowingly.

No, no. I can see that he is a nice guy. So, he will definitely return.

After a while. I heard footsteps. I got excited and looked toward the entrance of the cave. I saw a cloaked person entering.

I was overjoyed and yelled "'Yan', you returned? where did you go without telling me?" teardrops came out of my eyes.

Seeing me crying, he rushed and grabbed my hands. He asked in a worried tone "Zhuqing, what happened? why are you crying?"

Hearing his caring voice, I felt a sweet feeling in my heart. I slightly shook my head and said "N-No, I just remembered something very bad."

He released my hands and patted my head "Don't worry, if you have anything just say it to me."

I was so embarrassed when he patted me and I lowered my head in shame. Seeing this, he quickly retracted his hand and said in an apologetic tone "S-Sorry, I suddenly remembered my sister and I did that out of habit."

"N-No it's ok!". But, I want him to pat me again. H-His warm hands felt so good. So, he has a sister?

He slightly nodded and got up. Then I asked, "W-Where did you go?"

"Oh! I can't let you starve here so, I went to get some food. And I also spread some powder around the cave, it will repel the insects and spirit beasts."

Hearing this, my heart fluttered "O-Oh! that's good!"

Then he added some more wood to the fire. He took out some barbecue needles, he then glanced at me and put the needles back into his storage ring.

Then he took a pot and began to prepare a soup with some herbs. Then he looked at me and asked "I just saw a lake nearby, so I caught some fish. Do you like fish?"

I heavily nodded my head. He then took some fish and began to clean them. At this time, I asked, "The soup is..."

"Oh, It's a 'tiger' meat soup." he said.

He wanted to barbecue the tiger meat. But, after seeing my condition, he began to prepare the soup and also added herbs to it. Seeing that he is caring and considerate of me, my heart fluttered. He is really a sweet guy!

Seeing his movements during cooking, I was amazed. He has a storage ring and he also has a unique temperament, so he must be from a rich household.

After a while, an amazing smell hit my nose. The soup and the fish meat are well prepared. At this time, my stomach grumbled. *grumble*

He looked at me, laughed and said "Wait for a while, the dinner is ready." I lowered my head in shame!

Then he brought a bowl of soup and a plate of fish meat to me. "Eat them."

I smiled gently and took the spoon, but because of my injury, I felt a terrible pain in my hand and the spoon fell down. I again tried to pick it up.

He picked up the spoon and said "Don't push yourself too much." Then he sat beside me, took a spoonful of soup and brought it close to my mouth.

I hesitated "N-No, I can do it my-"

"Just eat it." he said, no he ordered.

I quickly opened my mouth and drank the soup. Oh! The soup was so good. He fed me the whole soup and I drank it fully.

He removed his gloves and I saw a pair of smooth hands. Then he took a piece of fish meat with his hand and brought it close to my mouth. Is he going to feed me with his hand?

I was slightly embarrassed. He said "Eat it" This guy...really domineering.

I sighed and opened my little mouth and my lips touched his hand. Then he put the fish meat into my mouth. The fish meat is amazing, it just melts in my mouth. Even the hotels in the Star Luo empire didn't have this taste.

Then he retracted his hand and I saw a small piece of meat remaining in his hand. I caught his arm and licked the remaining meat.

He chuckled seeing this and said "You little cat!". I was embarrassed. I don't know why I did that. I just did that involuntarily.

Then he fed me the whole meat on the plate. He took out a white handkerchief and cleaned my mouth. He handed me a water bottle and stood up.

He even fed me the whole soup and meat. Seeing that he is caring so much for me, my heart palpitated. So, this is how it feels to be cared for by someone. Then I remembered a certain blonde guy. He just left me and I also heard news that he is going to brothels to enjoy his day. He didn't even care about me.

I glanced at the cloaked guy in front of me. He sat and began to eat his meat. He has to remove his hoodie to eat, right?

He picked up the meat and brought it near his mouth. Then the food disappeared in the darkness surrounding his face.

Huh? He just ate it like that? Then I remembered something. He fed me with those hands and now he is eating with those hands. Is this what they call an...indirect kiss?

I was so embarrassed and looked away. Then I glanced at him in the corner of my eyes.

Damn, you idiot. I want to see your face so badly...
