Shao Zun really knew how to comfort people.
When Bu Yaolian woke up again, it was because of footsteps outside. The room was dark, and was lit by two candles.
She was about to sit up when the door was pushed open. Su Shenfan’s voice rang out. “You’re awake? If you’re awake, eat first.”
Bu Yaolian was still a little dazed when she woke up. “Shao Zun… carry me.”
Su Shenfan walked over and picked her up. “You sure know how to order people around. We’ll go back after eating. There’s a stove in the carriage, and it won’t be cold.”
Bu Yaolian leaned on his shoulder and hummed softly.
It wasn’t until she finished a bowl of duck soup that she completely woke up.
Su Shenfan sat opposite her and put all the chicken and duck into her bowl. He wasn’t scared that she would grow into a pig that could be cut up and sold.
They ate in the light of the candles as the cold wind roared outside.
Bu Yaolian was a little scared when she thought about going out into the cold wind again.
However, she couldn’t stay here for too long. Firstly, it was dangerous, and secondly, Su Shenfan really didn’t like this place. It was too shabby.
If it wasn’t for the fact that she couldn’t leave, Su Shenfan wouldn’t stay in such a place.
After Bu Yaolian put down her chopsticks and touched her belly, once again despising her flesh, Su Shenfan also put down his chopsticks.
Su Shenfan put a cloak on her. He wrapped her up tightly, not allowing any cold air to get in.
He carried her to the carriage.
Bu Yaolian touched his sleeve. “Shao Zun, wait. I have some banknotes I want to give to the old lady.”
Su Shenfan slapped her hand away. “Put them away. I’ll compensate her.”
Bu Yaolian pouted and stopped talking. She hugged his waist obediently. Shao Zun was a natural heater.
The carriage didn’t tarry at all on the way. They entered Southern Glory Empire one night while Bu Yaolian was still sleeping.
When they got to the border city, Su Shenfan could finally rest at his stronghold.
Even if the Archfiend came after him, he wasn’t scared.
No matter how powerful the Archfiend was, he was still from the Fiend Realm. This was human territory.
Besides, Su Shenfan had never been afraid of anyone.
In his line of work, there was no need to be afraid of anyone.
When Bu Yaolian woke up, she was in a soft bed. The silk was bright and shiny. One look and she could tell that it was top quality.
She felt like she had finally come back to life.
She had finally left that poor and desolate place.
It wasn’t that she was snobbish. That cottage was fine, but it was just that the quilt was too old and had been used by someone else for years. She really wasn’t used to it.
But even Su Shenfan, who liked cleanliness, hadn’t disdained it, so she wouldn’t, either.
Bu Yaolian knew what suffering was, and she didn’t want to return to her bitter days at all.
Their entire family didn’t want to return to when they had almost gone bankrupt. Her grandparents shed bitter tears whenever they thought of those days.
Bu Yaolian chuckled.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Look at that arrogant expression of yours. What’s wrong? It’s like you’re going to pick out flowers in this silk.” Su Shenfan’s voice came from the other side, full of disdain.
Bu Yaolian lifted the thin mosquito net and looked over. Su Shenfan was wearing a robe and sitting on the couch with a bare chest. He was holding a red sandalwood box.
