Sigh.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could not deny it because what Crystal said was true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man turned his head to look at Xiao Tian. “Is that true?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, it’s true.” Xiao Tian gave an honest answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How many girlfriends do you have now?” the old man asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“….More than one.” Xiao Tian did not tell the exact number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tell me the exact number.” The old man wanted to know how many girlfriends Xiao Tian had now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crystal, it seems like you will be able to walk again from tomorrow onwards.” Xiao Tian changed the topic of conversation because he did not want to answer the old man’s question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe. He is changing the topic of conversation.” Of course, Crystal knew the reason why Xiao Tian changed the topic of conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, she was a little surprised when Xiao Tian tried to hide it because he was someone who loved boasting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young man, can you afford their daily needs? You should not have more than one girlfriend if you can’t effort their daily needs.” The old man knew a few people who had many women in the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, all of them were rich, so he wanted to know if Xiao Tian could afford their daily needs or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corner of Xiao Tian’s lips twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘This old man is underestimating me.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he was not angry at the old man because what the old man said was true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Money!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, they needed to have a lot of money if they wanted to have more than one girlfriend or wife because everything needed money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They needed money to go on a date. They needed money to take their lover to a restaurant or a romantic place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, it was impossible to make their lover happy without money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Xiao Tian could answer the old man’s question, Crystal replied, “Elder, he is rich. He managed to raise his family status from a lower-class family to an upper-class family in just two years. He even has a few companies now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh!” The old man was startled again. “I did not expect you to be talented in business.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man knew a few talented people before he lived in the forest, but their achievements were not as amazing as Xiao Tian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You are as amazing as me, young man. Even though I was more handsome than you when I was your age. Hehe.” The old man laughed after praising himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe.” Crystal covered her mouth and giggled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black lines formed on Xiao Tian’s forehead. He did not expect that the old man would praise himself like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They began to talk about many things again. At this moment, the old man told Xiao Tian and Crystal his name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xing Hanxian!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, his name was Xing Hanxian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to how interesting their conversation was, they did not realize it was already 05:00 pm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder, we have to return to the cave now because it’s almost dark.” Xiao Tian uttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were in the forest, so it was dangerous to walk in complete darkness. That was why they had to return to the cave immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait here.” Xing Hanxian entered his house before returning to the front yard. “Here, take these fruit. You can eat these fruit for dinner later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xing Hanxian gave Xiao Tian some fruit because he was satisfied with their job. They also talked with him and made him happy, so he gave these fruit as a reward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Tian accepted the fruit immediately. “Thank you, elder.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Good! With this, we have something to eat for dinner.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He added in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, elder.” Like Xiao Tian, Crystal was also pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t forget to come to my house again tomorrow morning. I will give you two some food again if you help me make a fence.” Xing Hanxian told Xiao Tian and Crystal to come to his house again tomorrow morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, they agreed to build a fence from the backyard to the well because it could protect them from wild beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright. We will come again tomorrow morning.” Xiao Tian and Crystal replied in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Tian immediately carried Crystal before heading to the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—–\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forest, Cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As usual, they sat on the leaves after making a bonfire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Tian and Crystal were pleased because they could eat some fruit for dinner. They were also no longer starving because they ate a lot earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luckily, that elder is kind.” Crystal regarded Xing Hanxian as a kind person because he was willing to help them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that, he even gave them some fruit before they returned to the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.” Xiao Tian also saw Xing Hanxian as a kind person. “I did not know what would happen to us if that elder refused to share his food with us earlier.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Tian and Crystal talked about many things for two hours before finally, they slept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—–\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The following morning, Xiao Tian woke up at 06:00 am.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To his surprise, he saw Crystal walking not far from him. Even though she still could not walk properly, but she did not fall to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crystal, you can actually walk now?” Xiao Tian rose to his feet and walked towards Crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You are already awake?” Crystal was startled after hearing his words. “Yes. I can walk now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Tian rushed towards her before finally lifting and spinning her body. “Good! With this, we can get out of this forest soon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crystal smiled softly when Xiao Tian suddenly spun her body. She was also delighted because, with this, they could get out of the forest soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Master, I will meet you soon.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crystal missed Yu Shi because she did not see her master for four days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Xiao Tian put her down, he uttered, “Let’s go to the elder’s house now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Un.” Crystal nodded her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crystal giggled cutely when Xiao Tian wanted to carry her again. She could walk now, so she did not want him to carry her like before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Tian, I can walk now.” Crystal uttered, “I want to go to the elder’s house on foot.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you sure?” Xiao Tian inquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.” She did not walk for four days, so it was a good opportunity to exercise her legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I will help you.” Xiao Tian decided to help her walk because Crystal still could not walk properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They then went to Xing Hanxian’s house. All the way to Xing Hanxian’s house, Xiao Tian never let go of Crystal’s right hand even for a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did this because he did not want her to fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xing Hanxian welcomed them with a smile when they arrived at his house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Hmm?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a little startled when he saw Crystal walking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All this time, Xiao Tian always carried her. Of course, Xing Hanxian was happy with this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s eat first so that we will have a lot of energy to make a fence later.” unlike yesterday, Xing Hanxian let them eat first before working.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Tian and Crystal were pleasantly surprised by Xing Hanxian’s words. Of course, they accepted it happily because they did not eat anything before going to his house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After eating, they began to make a fence. They decided to make a bamboo fence because there were many bamboo trees not far from Xing Hanxian’s house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t split the bamboo into many small pieces because it would not be strong enough to protect them from wild beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it was lunch time, they stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like yesterday, they ate happily again. They did not make a fence immediately after eating; instead, they talked for about thirty minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They began making a fence again after that. After thinking for several minutes, they decided to cut down many bamboo trees and brought them to the backyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this, it would be easier and faster for them to make a bamboo fence tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s continue tomorrow.” It was already 04:00 pm, so Xing Hanxian told them to stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright.” Xiao Tian and Crystal nodded their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, five people were walking towards Xing Hanxian’s house. Of course, Xiao Tian and the others did not know about this.\u003C\u002Fp>",1423,"2026-06-06T16:27:54.133Z",1,"novelbin.me","11991238cb2f51e15242e470734fadbeb4fb6854ccdda03875c3baa74739c539","illicit-relationship-chapter-1218","illicit-relationship-chapter-1216",1793,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fillicit-relationship-cover.jpg"]
