Mu An comforted her a few more times, but the girl still seemed worried.
"Brother An, am I going to die?"
Chu Youwei's little face was as white as a sheet, devoid of color.
"With me here, you will be fine!"
Mu An smiled.
His calm and assured tone did indeed put the little girl at ease!
He first fed the girl the [Universal Detox Pill].
Then, after hesitating for a moment, he leaned down and began to suck the poisonous blood out of the wound one by one!
After all, if he didn't do this, Chu Youwei might still be worried.
So, he could only endure this hardship himself!
'As a professional villain, this is what I should do!'
During this time, the girl was deeply moved.
[Emotional fluctuation from Chu Youwei +30, congratulations, you have received the reward [Cultivation Years +4]!]
…..
Before long, the blood from the wound had turned bright red.
The bruised and dark feeling gradually faded away.
It was unclear whether it was because Mu An had sucked out the poisonous blood or if the detox pill was taking effect.
In any case, it was certain that the snake venom issue should have been resolved!
"It should be fine now!"
Mu An breathed a sigh of relief and comforted her.
"Thank you, Brother An, I feel much better now!"
"That's good! Let's go home; I've already cooked something for you!"
Mu An skillfully ruffled her hair.
This action shattered any remaining 'strangeness' between the two of them!
"Mm!"
A blush appeared on the girl's pretty face as she lowered her head and replied softly.
The two walked home, one in front and the other behind.
Chu Youwei, following Mu An, kept staring at his big hand. She quietly reached out her small hand, seemingly wanting to hold it.
But just as she was about to touch it, she pulled her hand back.
After hesitating for a moment, she simply grabbed the hem of his clothes.
That alone had exhausted all her courage!
[Emotional fluctuation from Chu Youwei +50, congratulations, you have received the reward [Fortune +50]!]
Mu An suddenly squatted down and said to the Chu Youwei behind him.
"Come on up!"
Chu Youwei: ?
The girl's big, beautiful eyes showed a look of confusion and puzzlement.
"Your leg is injured, so it must be inconvenient to walk. Let me carry you back!"
Chu Youwei hesitated for a moment.
"If we go back late, the food will get cold, and it won't taste good!"
Mu An made a joke on purpose.
"Mm!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said that, Chu Youwei immediately nodded seriously.
This took Mu An by surprise.
Could it be that the Chu Youwei family are all foodies?
He couldn't help but chuckle.
Is this what they mean by "birds of a feather flock together"?!
So comfortable! So reassuring!
This was Chu Youwei's first feeling.
It felt like the broad shoulders of a father described in books!
Because she had never felt a father's love, she was even more infatuated with this sense of security!
"Thank you, Brother An!"
The girl whispered her thanks.
"What are you thanking me for? Aren't we family?"
Mu An chuckled lightly.
He stepped forward, quickly and steadily heading home.
"Mm, we are family!"
Chu Youwei smiled lightly and rested her little head on his shoulder.
In that moment, her entire body and mind relaxed.
It was as if she had laid down all past pressures and burdens, blooming with the joy and smiles that a girl her age should have!
By the time they got home, the food was indeed cold.
But Chu Youwei still ate heartily and happily.
Because it was made just for her by Brother An!
At noon, Mu An, guided by Chu Youwei, delivered lunch to Chu Youmeng and her grandmother, who were still working in the fields.
After that, he didn't leave but stayed to help them with the farm work.
The morning was spent clearing the fields, and they returned home under the moonlight.
By the time they got home, it was already late.
The evening glow filled the sky, a thousand miles of brilliance, beautiful and romantic.
At the same time, a crescent moon quietly lay on the mountain top, seemingly waiting for its moment to shine.
"Brother An, thank you! You're a guest, yet you still help us with work!"
Chu Youmeng felt a bit embarrassed.
"What are you talking about? We are family; there's no such thing as trouble among family!"
"If you really want to thank me, then give me a reward, like accompanying me to watch the stars tonight!"
Mu An wrapped his arms around his treasure girl's waist, gently inhaling the faint scent of her body.
The girl couldn't help but widen her beautiful eyes.
Shame rushed up her pink cheeks like a climbing vine.
This bad guy just wouldn't stop being mischievous and bullying her!
But she couldn't bring herself to hate him!
In fact, she felt quite happy about him bullying her...
A layer of affectionate mist glimmered in Chu Youmeng's beautiful eyes, like a thin layer of crystal-clear water vapor.
"Sis, Grandma is calling you..."
Chu Youwei entered the room at an inopportune moment and happened to see this scene.
She couldn't help but widen her beautiful eyes, and her words came to an abrupt halt.
Silence—
It seemed as if the air suddenly became quiet.
"I-I'll go take a shower first!"
Chu Youmeng, who was already shy, was caught in such an embarrassing situation by her sister.
Her pretty face turned as red as fire, and she hurriedly found an excuse to escape the scene.
Even her accent slipped out!
Mu An was helpless.
He had finally found an opportunity to earn emotional rewards from his treasure girl today, but it all went to waste in an instant?
"Did I interrupt you two?"
Chu Youwei stuck out her tongue cutely.
At this moment, her gaze inevitably fell on Mu An's face.
She admitted that she was starting to envy her sister a little.
Because she suddenly wanted to try the feeling of being in love!
That... must be a wonderful feeling, right!
