Chapter 3856: Heh Heh

The divine-grade pill melted upon entering his mouth; she didn't need to exert much effort at all.

Qin Xiu's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and he finally couldn't help but open his eyes.

In the depths of those eyes, as dark as stars, two faint pools of water glimmered.

He looked exactly like a startled wolf cub, with a hint of bewilderment, unease, and inexplicable fear in his eyes.

Qiao Mu let out a "heh heh," but her expression remained unchanged.

It was as if those two words, "heh heh," had come from someone else's mouth, sounding utterly strange.

Qin Xiu had actually recognized Qiao Mu's voice earlier. After all, that little stoic's voice, both cold and a bit naive, was simply too easy to recognize.

He didn't know what to say. After opening his eyes, he just stared at her blankly for a moment.

If you counted the time in Viccy's arcade, when she treated him after he was poisoned by eight different powders, this was already the third time she had saved him. It truly seemed they had a complicated, unbreakable bond.

"A Bone-Reforming Divine Pill costs ten million spirit coins each. Remember to pay me back when you return!" Qiao Mu said to him expressionlessly, then stood up and walked to the side.

Heh! Money again.

Qin Fifth Young Master's bewildered gaze finally regained a flicker of light. His mind became clearer, and he turned his head to look in the direction of the young girl.

Every time she treated him, she demanded a large sum of money. If she loved money so much, why did she insist on refusing the valuable jewels, calligraphy, paintings, and various rare herbs he sent last time, ultimately making him burn them all?

Seeing her calmly squatting to the side, poking at the stone stove she had just kicked over, the Fifth Young Master couldn't help but open his mouth. When he spoke, his voice was so hoarse that even he was slightly startled. "You... you."

Qiao Mu took out her own clean small soup pot from her inner world and stewed a pot of mushroom and meat stew for herself. She looked back at the man and said expressionlessly, "If you want food, that'll be an extra hundred thousand spirit coins."

Qin Fifth Young Master struggled to sit up, fumbled at his waist, pulled out a spirit coin card, and handed it over with a grim expression.

Only then did he realize with surprise that his limbs could move!

What kind of divine medicine did the little stoic feed him for it to have such a quick effect?

Qin Fifth Young Master was somewhat shocked, his gaze directed towards the stoic face.

But the little stoic was not surprised at all.

Given his injuries, being able to move now was already considered very slow.

It meant that this fellow's body was too weak.

"Last time I offered you Dragon Tendon Bone-Mending Pills and you didn't want them."

"If you had taken the Dragon Tendon Bone-Mending Pills, would you be this weak now?"

"At least your body would have gotten stronger sooner, and you could run away two steps faster when escaping."

Qin Fifth Young Master glared, watching her slowly take the spirit coin card from his hand.

"Is that enough?" Qiao Mu asked, her gaze calmly sweeping over him. "No credit accepted."

Qin Fifth Young Master felt that even if he were a corpse, he would probably be infuriated back to life by the stoic face right now.

Qiao Mu walked to the entrance of the cave, poked her head out, and frowned, looking a bit conflicted.

Sigh, rain was so annoying. It seemed she would have to stay here for the night.

"You, why do you dislike me so much?" Qin Fifth Young Master still couldn't hold back the question in his heart and asked aloud.

Before, he thought she looked down on those without cultivation.

But ever since their encounter at the Mu Mansion's entrance...
