The enchantress sat upright, with her sharp sword resting on the table. Jiang Yiyi stood beside her, within arm's reach of her.
Her weakness was visible to the naked eye, and the pain caused by the serious injury could still be seen from her heaving chest, which was not easy to suppress.
But Cao Ren still didn't dare to act rashly.
This bitch can fight against Li Yunzhu, who is in the late stage of Jindan with the blessing of formations. Killing a sixth-level Qi practitioner like him would be an insult to her with a sword.
Cao Ren took off his sword and hung it on the nail at the door, just like his usual habit when returning home.
Then he walked to the dining table with a calm expression and sat down opposite the witch.
The witch looked at her with a hint of surprise in her tone: "Aren't you afraid of me?"
"Fairy is not like a person who kills indiscriminately. This is my home. If you don't want to be exposed, you can't kill me, otherwise you won't be able to get through the next round of investigation." Cao Ren smiled and said: "And I am a servant of Taiyi Sect. Now Wuhai The city has been sealed off, and someone may come to me to work at any time. If I die, you will have no place to hide in this city."
"Are you threatening me?" The demon girl's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a dangerous cold light.
"I'm just explaining the current situation to you in detail to avoid misjudgment by the fairy. After all, your life and mine depend on your thoughts." Cao Ren said calmly.
"You're a smart person. I like to deal with smart people." The witch's mouth curled up, "You help me leave Wuhai Peak. If I don't kill you, I will give you a generous reward."
Cao Ren spread his hands and said, "That fairy thinks too highly of me. Now there is no way to get in or out of Wuhai Peak. I, a mere servant of the Taiyi Mendu branch, can't get out of Wuhai City myself, so how can I help you?" Leaving Wuhai Peak? Driving away the searchers like before is the limit of what I can do."
The demon girl stared at Cao Ren for a long time.
Cao Ren looked calm and stared at her as well.
"Gululu——"
A burst of stomach growling broke the dead silence.
The enchantress avoided looking, seeming slightly embarrassed.
"It seems that everyone is hungry. If the fairy doesn't mind, I will go and cook first. If you want anything, we will talk about it after dinner." Cao Ren said while looking at the demon girl, without getting up rashly.
"That's right." The enchantress nodded. She was indeed hungry, and her injuries were difficult to heal. She, a person who didn't usually need to eat, also felt a strong sense of hunger, and her body was gradually getting colder. This was not a good sign. .
Cao Ren stood up and walked towards the kitchen. When he entered the door, he glanced back and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
There was a foot-long wound on the demon girl's back. The skin and flesh were turned out, and the bones were visible. Only some white powder was roughly sprinkled on it, and the bleeding was not completely stopped. It looked quite scary.
"Sister, I'm going to help light the fire." Jiang Yiyi said carefully.
"Sit down." The enchantress said in a cold tone.
"Oh." Jiang Yiyi had no choice but to sit down next to her.
"This witch doesn't look like a crazy bitch, so why do you dare to break into Wuhai Peak?" Cao Ren was full of doubts. Although he was seriously injured, the witch behaved very cautiously. From the moment he entered the door, he always kept Jiang Yiyi under her Within control.
Details can reflect a person's character. She doesn't look like a rash person. Otherwise, under such a high-intensity search, it would be difficult for her to be seriously injured and not be discovered from hiding last night until now.
Cao Ren stewed a pot of bacon trotters, filled up three bowls of rice, and served it on the table.
"There is no extra food at home, so just make do with it." Cao Ren sat down again and said with a smile.
The demon girl looked at the large pot of bright red pig's trotters, and the rich aroma of meat came over her. She swallowed subconsciously, but did not move her chopsticks in a hurry.
"Don't worry, it's not poisoned. I never waste food." Cao Ren put a piece of meat into his mouth and took a big mouthful of rice.
"Give me your bowl of rice." The witch said.
Cao Ren had no choice but to switch with the bowl of rice in front of the demon girl, and continued to eat meat and rice. At the same time, he put a piece of meat into Jiang Yiyi's bowl, "Eat quickly, I didn't cover your mouth."
"Oh." Jiang Yiyi agreed, picked up the chopsticks and started to chop the rice.
The demon girl looked at the two people who were working hard and felt that they looked a bit like father and daughter. Her eyes softened a little and she reached out to pick up the chopsticks.
The small movement affected the wound on her back, and the intense pain made her frown unconsciously.
Although the little girl treated her wound briefly last night, her technique was immature after all, and she only did a simple cleaning. The Qiankun bag was left behind in the battle, and now she doesn't have a single healing elixir on her body, which is a troublesome thing.
The strong hunger in her belly drove her to take a piece of meat. The meat was full of fat, and she would definitely not eat a bite of it on weekdays. But today, seeing the oil and water, she felt a little eager for it. Or maybe the meat was bright in color. It's not greasy.
After taking a bite, her eyes showed a bit of disbelief. The leather had a gelatinous texture, while the meat was soft and rotten. When she took a bite, the meat juices splashed everywhere, and the aroma of meat filled her lips and teeth, teasing her taste buds. crazy.
The braised pig's trotters that had just come out of the pot were warmed into the stomach after one bite. The body warmed up a little, and it seemed that even the pain in the wound was relieved a little.
The demon girl swallowed the meat and looked at the pot of braised pig's trotters in front of her in amazement. She couldn't help but look up at Cao Ren.
This guy is not only handsome and clear-headed, but he also has such amazing cooking skills.
"Sister, braised pig's trotters will be more delicious when eaten with rice." Jiang Yiyi reminded me in a low voice: "This is what brother Cao Ren taught me."
The demon girl glanced at the rice in front of her. There was a hole left where Cao Ren took a bite. She turned the bowl around and took a bite of the rice.
The fluffy rice was ordinary, but it took away the greasiness of the braised pig's trotters just enough to prepare the taste buds for the next bite of pig's trotters.
Cao Ren looked at her, and a melody echoed in his mind: If I eat the food you have eaten, does that count as kissing?
The witch seemed to feel something and raised her eyes to look at him.
When their eyes met, Cao Ren quickly lowered his head to eat.
The corners of the witch's mouth raised slightly, "Oh, man."
The lunch ended in a somewhat dull atmosphere.
"Everyone is catching the witch outside. Don't you want to sell me in exchange for a generous reward?" The witch put down her chopsticks and looked at Cao Ren with a somewhat lazy temperament and asked with a smile.
"To be fair, it's hard to say that I don't have this idea." Cao Ren said calmly: "Now the entire Immortal Cultivator in the Sea of Fog City is looking for you outside."
"But you didn't. You went home." The enchantress stared into his eyes, "It seems that this little girl is very important in your heart, at least more important than the bounty for catching me."
