“But, I have given you all my precious collection. I really have nothing left to give you now.” Fu Chen bit his lip. He looked so pitiful. “So, I can’t really help you even if I wanted to.”
Feng Ruqing hesitated for a moment before she sighed. “This is indeed too hard for you. But, never mind. I’m born with the fear of death. I’ll not waste my life that I have a chance to live this life again. It’s fine if I am not your guardian.”
Fu Chen was shocked. Were humans… this shameless?
“I’m left with the last sword.” Fu Chen flicked his finger and a long black sword appeared in his hand. He growled, “You wicked and cruel woman! Now you have tricked me into giving you my last food.”
That sword was black like iron and it was somehow rusted. But, the dragon mark on the sword was still clear and it looked so real that it looked like it might come out of the sword anytime now.
Feng Ruqing’s face darkened. She looked at Fu Chen doubtfully. “Don’t tell me that you have just simply whipped out a normal sword for me.”
Fu Chen was so angry that he stomped his feet. His face was red with anger. He snarled, “How dare you doubt me! Am I that kind of person who would lie? This sword is so powerful that I cannot devour it now. In fact, I want to keep it so that I can eat it later but now that you have tricked me into giving this to you.”
Was this woman a demon? She had fooled him into giving up his food and now she doubted him too. How outrageous!
Feng Ruqing realized that Fu Chen was not lying. She received the sword with a smile. “You’re really my good son. I’ll definitely take you with me to explore this land when I have gained true strength in the future.”
“… ” Fu Chen was quiet.
This son was treated too unfairly.
“Why aren’t you going for training?” Fu Chen grunted. He did not want to look at this woman anymore.
He really had nothing now. Qing Han might be taken away too if this woman stayed.
“Brother Fu Chen brother.” Qing Han tugged at Fu Chen’s sleeves and whispered, “You better be careful with your words. Don’t make her angry. We can still gossip about her after she has left.”
Feng Ruqing’s face darkened.
However, Feng Ruqing had heard everything.
But, Feng Ruqing was in a good mood after receiving the sword. So, she chose not to argue with these two kids. She patted the hilt, smiled, and said, “The two of you can just play around. You can call me next time if you miss me. I’ll come and accompany you.”
Fu Chen kept quiet.
Miss her? Never! He, Fu Chen, would never miss her even if he died here because of hunger.
“Qing Han’s temper is better.” Feng Ruqing ignored Fu Chen when she found that Fu Chen was ignoring her. She turned and looked at Qing Han. She stroked Qing Han’s head. “Qing Han, you must remember to call me if you miss me. I’ll definitely come.”
Qing Han was stunned. She said fearfully, “Can I not miss you?”
Feng Ruqing’s face darkened even more. Was she this unwelcomed by these two fellows?
And… they could talk about this in private. Why did they bring it up in front of Feng Ruqing?
“Ahem!” Feng Ruqing coughed twice to ease the awkwardness. “Then, I’ll come and meet you if I miss you. Why did Chen’er decide to stay after I listened to you and released some spiritual qi?”
Fu Chen looked up at Feng Ruqing, bit his lip and said, “Your spiritual qi is special. Now that you have the habit of growing spirit herbs, your presence is accompanied by the spirit of the spirit herbs. I only… added something to your spiritual qi to ease Qin Chen’s pain. Of course he would stay.”
