Chapter 2186

~4 min read 712 words

Wu Feng curled the corners of his mouth into a smile, his eyes filled with infinite doting, and said, "You have spent your life in the jungle, drifting and lonely. From now on, I will return the warmth of the mortal world to you."

Xiao Bai looked at Wu Feng blankly, tears shimmering in her eyes. Her skin, which was like congealed fat, was now flushed with a peach-blossom color due to the drunkenness, making her look extremely beautiful.

That night, Mount Huaguo was exceptionally quiet; even the mountain birds did not chirp much. The bright moonlight spilled over the mountains, as if they were covered in a layer of snow.

Outside Wu Feng's grocery store, outside the west wing room, hung two large red lanterns, swaying gently in the breeze.

The next day, Wu Feng and Xiao Bai both woke up very late, almost when the sun was high in the sky.

This bright sun, carrying a hint of sultry heat, made people feel lazy.

After Wu Feng got up, he began to wash up, while Xiao Bai was exceptionally quick; she had already washed up long ago and was preparing breakfast in the back kitchen.

Wu Feng turned back and was standing at the door brushing his teeth—that's right, he was using toothpaste. In this era, ordinary people didn't even know what toothpaste was; at most, they used sea salt to clean their teeth. However, Wu Feng had collected some mountain herbs and ground some powder from shells to make his own toothpaste.

Wu Feng looked at Xiao Bai's busy body in the back kitchen and, thinking of the intimacy of last night, could not help but feel heartache for her.

She had deliberately gotten up half an hour earlier than Wu Feng to prepare breakfast for him, still acting like the maid she was before.

Wu Feng knew very well that this was a psychological state of being afraid of losing something. He understood that Xiao Bai was too afraid that she would lose him one day, so she was terrified of doing anything that would make Wu Feng dissatisfied.

After Wu Feng finished brushing his teeth and washing his face, he saw that Xiao Bai had already placed steaming buns, corn porridge, and some well-pickled small side dishes on the table.

In Xiao Bai's eyes, there seemed to be a new luster—a luster that had never been there before.

She looked at Wu Feng with a brilliant face and said, "Husband, breakfast is ready."

Wu Feng smiled gently and said softly to her, "Wife, you have worked hard."

Xiao Bai froze for a moment, as if she had not expected Wu Feng to say such a thing. For a moment, she did not know how to react and just stood there.

Wu Feng smiled again and said, "Wife, actually, there were some words I didn't finish saying last night."

"Actually, you can tell, can't you? My character, Wu Feng, is that of a very spontaneous person."

"Although I hope you can take care of my daily life—after all, I am often busy with cultivation—you don't need to be so nervous, afraid of making even the slightest mistake. I would never blame you, never at all. Do you understand what I mean?"

Xiao Bai's dark, rolling eyes turned a few times, as if she were thinking about something, and then she said, "Husband, I understand."

"I don't know how to say it; it's just that happiness came too suddenly, and I was afraid that if I wasn't careful, it would fly away again."

"Since Husband says so, I think you might like a more casual relationship, where we are both comfortable. I will change in the future."

Wu Feng curled the corners of his mouth, his eyes showing appreciation for Xiao Bai. He had not expected that she would completely understand his words and know what to do.

"Truly ice-snow smart, worthy of being from the White Fox clan."

Wu Feng's smile was brilliant as he looked at Xiao Bai, praising her without reservation.

"Haha, Husband, you are absolutely right about that. We of the White Fox clan are born with the ability to perceive the human heart."

Xiao Bai said with a brilliant face. ===== CHAPTER 2188 =====
