22 I'm listening to you and planning my escape

An Bing Qing crossed her arms in front of her chest, raised a brow and asked mischievously as she bent a little towards him, "What do you think?"

Xue Zi Hui's face darkened. He turned around and gave a step towards the door.

Seeing this, she quickly said, "Tch, you aren't funny anymore. All right, I just want to give you some pills", she reached for her qiankun bag but it wasn't hanging from her sash.

"Oh, you wait a little. I leave my qiankun bag next to my bathtub".

As he waited, he surveyed the room. It was pretty big but it only had gossamer screens to divide the many areas it had. He was perfectly able to see An Bing Qing's shadow bent to pick up something on the floor and then walking out from it.

"Here", she took out two jade bottles and added, "The Bone Marrow Regenerative Cells Liquid I gave you have around six doses, so it will last you two weeks. The pills for the treatment I told you before being able to refine liquid will be for you to take when you finish it". She handed him a jade bottle, continuing, "There are five Blood Forming Pills in this one. And this has five Exuding-Toxins Pills. They coupled together will play the same role. But they will run out quicker as you need to take one of each per day; thus, you will need to get more in case you can't find the Purple Snake Spirit Fruit within that time".

He who was now holding both bottles had a pondering look.

He didn't say a thing but she said as a stream of red herbs flowed out from her qiankun bag, "You also take half of the century-old Blood Bud Roots I dug. I have three with me and they are enough for me to have a success".

"You keep them, they are more useful in your hands", he said, waved his sleeves and went out from her room.

An Bing Qing was left all alone and she only reacted when the door closed again. She thought, 'Didn't he tell me all were his? I was waiting for him to ask repayment for the one I wasted in the failure or to tell me that I don't need many of them to refine the pill. Don't tell me he thinks I'm that useless and had pity on me?' If it were the past she was sure he wouldn't mind, but she has just met him and he couldn't possibly be that kind, right?

She pressed her lips into a line and decided to not think about it anymore. She took the herbs into her qiankun bag. Before drifting her sight from the door, she heard it opening.

An Yu Yong handsome face came to her eyes, she said, "Eldest brother, you still doesn't know how to knock?"

"I'm not the only one who doesn't know".

She pouted her mouth and waited for his reprimand as she thought, 'So, he has been waiting outside all this time. Hmh...'

He noted she wasn't going to speak; hence, he said, "You are big now..."

"Ah, we both are big".

Watching her naivety and beautiful looks, he shook his head to himself, 'No, it is better to not say that'.

"Sigh, just be good and don't go outside of your room. If you listen to me, your punishment will be lifted once we land".

An Bing Qing's mind caught another meaning to his words, 'Ugh, poor me. If I am being guarded in a place, the security will be lower than the one will be following me for sure. Hmgh... But thinking about it better, there will be masses of people in the streets. Maybe this deal isn't that bad'.

He saw her little sister absent mind and he knocked her head.

"Ouch! That hurts".

"You are ignoring me, right?"

'No, I'm listening to you and planning my escape', she thought in her heart but said instead, "No, I heard you loud and clear. I'm going to behave".

"Then, are you still mad with this handsome brother of yours?"

She unconsciously nodded her head but then shook it.

His mouth twitched at this scene, he sighed and said, "There will be people bringing you food as usual but I won't be coming".

She blinked.

"I will sharpen my skills at the training square in this spacecraft. If you need me, pass the message with someone and I will come".

She nodded, 'His defeat must have hurt his pride. But there was no way for him to win as Zi Hui has recuperated around seventy per cent of his physical condition. There was almost no noise or leaked energy; thus, they must have only used physical strength and their bodies' innate agility. Zi Hui is in another level when his body is in good shape. Well, even if he isn't in good shape, he is high above many. Tsk, tsk... Eldest brother can't be blamed, but I won't tell him. Huh huh'.

"You don't worry; I won't bother your training", she said with a big grin.

Such a smile was annoying to An Yu Yong but he only could give a helpless smile and said, "I'm going, then". He turned around and went out but before closing the door, he said, "Right, remember to dry your hair and change your clothes".

"Aye", she replied as she popped her head out from the door before closing it herself.
