Ren Yue's dress is made from aqua, light turquoise, and brass fabrics. It has a long-layered skirt with a V-line waist and elbow-length narrow sleeves, revealing her fair arms.

Ren Yue looked gorgeous in this dress and exuded an air of elegance, which matched with her identity as a former Noble Heiress.

Ren Yue returned to her bed and noticed that Long Chen was still unconscious.

She couldn't help but move closer to him and stare at his sleeping body. Her eyes couldn't help but drift toward that half-mask.

Ren Yue was very curious about the appearance of her benefactor. And since he was sleeping, it was the best opportunity for her to sneak a glance.

Unable to control her curiosity, Ren Yue gently lifted the half mask and gazed at Long Chen's face.

Ren Yue was utterly shocked as she saw his handsome appearance. Her heartbeat couldn't help but get faster as she gazed at his face.

"So, he is my savior? My prince," Ren Yue murmured as she lovingly gazed at Long Chen's face.

Ren Yue gently touched and played with Long Chen's silver hair and said, "Brother Long, you freed me from that torturous hell, helped me recover my appearance, and will even help me with my vengeance. In return, I shall use this life to help you no matter what. This is my promise."

Unfortunately, Long Chen wasn't conscious to hear Ren Yue's solemn oath.

After taking that oath absent-mindedly, Ren Yue stared at Long Chen's clothes, "Even though Brother Long is so handsome, it's a pity that he is wearing plain clothes. He will definitely look like a prince if he wears some lavish clothes."

Ren Yue really wanted to see Long Chen in some extravagant clothes.

'I should send a message to Guard Xiong and find out my faction's status. I should also ask him to bring my brother's clothes. They should fit Brother Long.'

Ren Yue gave Long Chen a long, affectionate look before leaving the room and heading into the kitchen. She was really irritated when she saw that the food in the kitchen was all rotten.

"I can't even leave to gather supplies. Who knows whether that despicable woman has ordered her subordinates to search for me?" Ren Yue spoke agitatedly.

She wanted to cook an impressive meal for Long Chen. Unfortunately, her plan failed.

"Right. I can still do that," Ren Yue spoke as an idea struck her like a thunderbolt.

Ren Yue quickly headed into the master bedroom and opened the closet. She pulled the drawn and was relieved to see many coins in it. There was nearly ten thousand Ela in this drawer.

Ren Yue grabbed these coins and put them in a pouch. She then left her house and walked over to her neighbor's house.

It was early morning, and her neighbors were already awake. Ren Yue knocked on her neighbor's door and exchanged Ela for food.

Her neighbor was also a relatively wealthy man and had an impressive food stock. He was excited to see a beautiful woman come knocking on his door to buy food at a rate much higher than the market rate.

Upon talking with her for some time, he discovered that this beautiful woman was his neighbor, so he readily agreed to help her.

Ren Yue was naturally aware that this man was staring at her coarsely. But she didn't care. She just felt happy that her appearance had completely recovered.

After returning to her house, Ren Yue started cooking food.

She prepared Omelet, Toast, Seared Grave Fish, Arcane Cucumber, Rice, and Lime Juice.

Ren Yue prepared enough food for nearly five people. She didn't care if Long Chen could finish it or not. At worst, she would offer it to a beggar.

Ren Yue just wanted Long Chen to get a taste of everything.

Even though she was a Noble Heiress, Ren Yue had always been interested in cooking. She learned it from her mother and would usually prepare her own meals.

After preparing a meal for Long Chen, she waited for him to wake up. Fortunately, it only took him three hours to wake up.

Long Chen got up and looked around. As he observed his surroundings, he realized it was Ren Yue's room, and he was sleeping on her bed.

He saw Ren Yue seated on the bed in a lotus position, meditating at this moment. She had already taken a bath and changed her clothes. At this moment, she no longer appeared to be a convict who had been tortured in Suqui Prison but radiated the grace of a young lady from the Noble Family.

Ren Yue jolted out of her meditative state and stared at Long Chen.

"Oh. You are finally awake," Ren Yue smiled brightly.

Long Chen nodded as he moved his mouth to say something, "I…I didn't intend to sleep on your bed, Miss Ren."

"I know. I am truly grateful to you for expending your Ardor and time to heal me. Furthermore, I was the one who picked you up and placed you on my bed. So, you don't need to be embarrassed about this matter," Ren Yue spoke, giving off a magnanimous vibe.

Since Ren Yue didn't mind, Long Chen nodded. He soon realized that he couldn't feel that metallic mask on his face.

With a foul expression, Long Chen asked Ren Yue, "…Miss Ren, why did you remove my mask?"

Ren Yue had actually overlooked this matter. However, she quickly responded, looking into his eyes, "I wanted to take a look at my benefactor. I never thought that my savior would be so young."

Seeing that Long Chen still had a frown, Ren Yue added, "Besides, we are already comrades. I would have found your identity eventually."

Long Chen couldn't help but sigh. He knew she was right. He was planning to reveal his identity to her, but not so soon.

Well, there was nothing he could do.

Ren Yue suddenly changed the topic and spoke, "You haven't eaten anything since yesterday. Don't worry. This lady has prepared a full meal for you,"

Long Chen raised his brows as he wondered, 'Does this lass really know cooking?'

He slowly followed her to the dining hall. Ren Yue spoke, "Please take a seat. I will serve the food."

Long Chen directly sat on the chair.

Ren Yue slowly brought out dishes and bowls filled with food.

She noticed Long Chen still held a calm look on his face and couldn't help but feel slightly sour, 'Hmph. He should feel happy that this lady is personally serving him food. I have never done this for anyone in my life.'

Long Chen remained oblivious to this fact and stayed calm while enjoying this service. He started eating food, and his expression finally changed.

"This is actually good!"

"You are saying as if you believed it would taste bad."

Even though Ren Yue complained, she still felt sweet upon hearing Long Chen compliment her cooking.

Long Chen intelligently remained silent. He knew that responding to those words would lead to a verbal fight.

"…Let's have a long talk. I want to know more about you," Ren Yue suddenly spoke.

Long Chen suddenly paused as he heard this question. He anticipated this question, but when Ren Yue really asked it, he was still caught off-guard.

This was why Long Chen didn't want to show his actual appearance to Ren Yue.

The purpose of that mask wasn't just to hide Long Chen's appearance but to maintain distance between him and Ren Yue.

Long Chen couldn't refuse to answer because Ren Yue would most definitely order her subordinates to search his history.

"I am afraid Miss Ren will be disappointed. I am just a common man," Long Chen spoke calmly.

Ren Yue casually retorted, "No commoner could have freed me from the prison. Moreover, no commoner would possess or be willing to share a cultivation technique."

Long Chen sighed as he heard these words.
