In the double room of the inn, Tang San lay on the small bed at the back, his face still as pale as paper, the wound on his chest throbbing, and every breath he took was accompanied by a pulling discomfort.
He was awakened by a soft footstep. Opening his heavy eyelids, he saw Fu Qin sitting in a chair by the bed.
His fingertips caressed the nine refined throwing knives, a hint of worry in his eyes, while Xiao Wu squatted by the bed, wiping his forehead with a warm towel.
"Fu Qin, Xiao Wu..." Tang San's voice was hoarse and dry, weak from just waking up, but a warm current surged in his heart.
Reborn, he thought that the only person who was truly good to him was his wife, Xiao Wu. But now it seems that the only person who is truly good to him is not only Xiao Wu, but also Fu Qin.
You should know that Fu Qin has been his little brother since childhood, and even now, with such strong talent, he is still willing to follow him.
Even when he was injured, he stayed by his side and protected him without leaving for a moment.
This "brotherly bond" deeply moved him.
He looked at Xiao Wu, his eyes filled with tenderness.
The girl in front of me was wearing a light pink inner garment, her long hair was loosely tied up, and a few strands of hair fell beside her cheeks.
Her skin was as white as snow under the moonlight, and her almond-shaped eyes were bright and lively. At this moment, she was looking at him with concern, just like his virtuous and considerate wife in his previous life.
"Xiao Wu, thank you for your hard work." Tang San smiled weakly, his voice filled with deep dependence.
A fleeting hint of disdain flashed across Xiao Wu's eyes, only to be quickly replaced by tenderness.
She raised her hand to tidy up the stray hairs on Tang San's forehead, her voice so soft and sweet it could melt your heart: "Third Brother, what are you saying? We're family, it's only right that I take care of you."
Her fingers gently traced Tang San's cheek, the movement incredibly tender, but only she knew how much she loathed that face.
Before her rebirth, she accompanied Tang San through countless hardships, became his wife, and gave everything for him. But in the end, all she got in return was endless loneliness in the God Realm and his ambiguous relationships with other women.
In this life, she saw Tang San's true colors.
Where is even a trace of the deep affection from a past life in a selfish, self-serving hypocrite who frequents brothels?
If it weren't to avoid arousing suspicion, she would feel disgusted even to look at him.
"Fu Qin, you've had a long day, take a rest. Leave the medicine preparation to me." Xiao Wu turned to look at Fu Qin, her eyes instantly softening with tenderness, a stark contrast to her previous perfunctory attitude towards Tang San.
Her eyes held an intense, unyielding love, as if she wanted to lock Fu Qin firmly into her heart.
Fu Qin nodded, but felt somewhat helpless.
He had already seen Xiao Wu's movements through the panel.
While she was decocting the medicine downstairs, she secretly added a sufficient amount of sleeping herb juice and poured it into the medicine pot without hesitation.
That dosage would probably allow a thousand-year-old soul beast to sleep for a whole day and night.
"Tsk, what a little devil." Fu Qin chuckled inwardly, yet he also found Xiao Wu exceptionally charming.
After her rebirth, Xiao Wu shed her naivety from her previous life and gained a touch of ruthlessness and indulgence. Especially when facing him, her unreserved enthusiasm and dependence made her irresistible to him.
Xiao Wu carried the brewed medicine into the room, and the aroma of the medicine filled the air, masking the faint bitterness of the sleeping grass.
She sat on the edge of the bed, scooped up a spoonful of medicine, blew on it before holding it to Tang San's lips, her voice so gentle it could drown someone.
"Third Brother, the medicine is ready. It's a little hot, so drink it slowly."
Tang San felt even warmer inside, and obediently opened his mouth to drink the medicine sip by sip.
He was completely unaware that Xiao Wu's scheme was hidden in this seemingly caring bowl of medicine.
After drinking the medicine, Tang San felt his body become warm and comfortable, but his eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and a strong drowsiness came over him. He smiled at Xiao Wu and Fu Qin.
"Xiao Wu, thank goodness you're here..."
Before Tang San could finish speaking...
He then tilted his head to the side and fell into a deep sleep.
Seeing that Tang San was fast asleep, the gentleness on Xiao Wu's face vanished instantly, replaced by a playful look and a hint of calculation.
She quickly got up, closed all the doors and windows tightly, and carefully bolted the door to ensure no one would disturb her.
After doing all this, she turned to look at Fu Qin, her eyes filled with a hint of allure.
"Brother Fu Qin~~" Xiao Wu's voice was sweet and coquettish.
She walked quickly to Fu Qin, hooked her arms around his neck, and pressed her body tightly against him.
The warm breath from his mouth tickled his ears.
Before Fu Qin could react.
Xiao Wu then tiptoed and kissed his lips.
At the same time, she rolled a cool candy with her tongue and put it into Fu Qin's mouth.
The candy melted in my mouth, and a warm, burning sensation instantly spread down my throat and through my limbs.
Fu Qin was startled. He could feel his blood and qi boiling instantly, and an uncontrollable heat rose in his heart and rushed to his brain.
"Sister Xiaowu, this candy tastes great! Can I eat it often from now on?" He looked at Xiaowu with a mischievous glint in his eyes.
Of course.
He was faking it all.
To deal with a girl like Xiaowu who has experienced painful betrayal, what he needs to do is not to show off his male chauvinism, but to take the perspective of the weaker party and occupy Xiaowu's extremely empty heart with the mentality of the underdog.
Xiao Wu's lips curled into a sly smile.
She reached out and removed her covering, revealing her shapely figure.
Her skin was as white as jade, and her curves were beautiful and captivating.
With a slender waist and long legs, every inch of her body exudes a fatal allure.
"Don't worry, little brother Fu Qin. If you're willing, from now on, I'll only give you my candy."
"Hehe, then I'll thank Sister Xiaowu in advance. I'll accept any candy that Sister Xiaowu gives me."
However, before he could finish speaking...
Xiao Wu directly covered his lips with her hand and buried her face in his chest.
"Don't worry, little brother Fu Qin, Xiao Wu will always be yours, and no one can take her away."
The temperature in the room rose instantly, and the glow of the oil lamp flickered erratically.
......
The next day.
early morning.
The sun had already risen, and apart from Tang San and the small bed he was on, there was nowhere left to put one's feet in the room.
Tang San, the chosen one, was finally awakened by the slightly noisy commotion outside.
Before he could even open his eyes, Xiao Wu swiftly threw her low-heeled boots, which were scattered on the ground, and hit Tang San on the head.
"Bang!"
Tang San, who had just begun to recover, fainted again in the next second.
There was still a bright red bump on his forehead.
When Fu Qin saw this, he thought to himself, "Wow!"
"Sister Xiaowu, what were you doing just now...?"
"Hiss... Of course, it's to lull your third brother to sleep."
