42: You won't...just let me scream, right?

Xiao Hao, who was outside, saw that the situation was not right and quickly said, "Master, I suddenly had an epiphany, so I'll leave first."

Wang Feng took a deep look at Xiao Hao, gave him a return glance, and nodded.

"Mm, if that's the case, then go."

Wang Feng waved his hand.

However, he was shouting in his heart, 'Although this Disciple seems to be missing a screw in his head, his discernment is quite strong, and he's sensible!'

After Xiao Hao left, before Wang Feng could speak, Jiang Hanxi asked instead.

"When did you take on a Disciple?"

"Uh... it was about thirty days ago, I think?"

Wang Feng thought back and realized he seemed to have forgotten the exact date.

Mainly, this Disciple came out of nowhere, and he hadn't bothered to keep track of the days.

"But he got his head kicked by a donkey, so you can just take what he says as a joke; don't take it seriously, okay?"

Wang Feng joked to Jiang Hanxi, who was walking beside him.

"Like master, like Disciple."

How could Wang Feng not know what she meant by that? The second before, he had said Xiao Hao's brain was kicked by a donkey.

Didn't Jiang Hanxi's words also mean that his brain was kicked by a donkey too?

"What do you mean, Fairy Sister?"

Wang Feng decided to treat anything he didn't want to hear as if he didn't understand it, throwing the question back to the questioner.

"From now on, you are not allowed to let him call me Master's Wife, otherwise I will cripple him."

Jiang Hanxi spoke coldly, and as for the expression beneath her bamboo hat and veil, Wang Feng didn't know.

Oh, she likes to scare people. If you really wanted to cripple him, you would have done it just now. Why wait until now to tell me?

Of course, Wang Feng only dared to grumble these words in his heart.

Based on his understanding of Jiang Hanxi, for things that truly annoyed her, she would definitely act rather than speak.

So... she wasn't annoyed by Xiao Hao calling her Master's Wife?

However, Wang Feng didn't dare to jump to conclusions easily; he had to probe Jiang Hanxi step by step.

With his current cultivation, he wasn't afraid of Jiang Hanxi cutting him down with a single sword. Even if he couldn't win, couldn't he still run?

"Fairy Sister, a male calls Master, and a female calls Master's Wife. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Wang Feng put on a bewildered expression, looking puzzled, as if he truly couldn't understand the problem.

Jiang Hanxi was rendered speechless by his question. It seemed... it really seemed like there was nothing wrong with it.

Hmm?

Jiang Hanxi was suddenly startled.

No, no, no.

Jiang Hanxi realized that after spending a long time with this silly boy, her own brain seemed to be getting infected and turning silly too.

Why did she suddenly feel that the question he raised actually seemed to have no problem at all?

"Master's Wife means Master's wife. Don't you even know this simplest common sense?"

"Ah?"

Wang Feng looked at Jiang Hanxi with a surprised expression, as if he didn't know there was such a meaning.

Jiang Hanxi's white veil hat fluttered in the wind, making countless people on the street want to catch a glimpse of her beauty.

Unfortunately, the white veil hat seemed to be firmly glued to her head, not revealing an inch.

"Forget it, ignorance is bliss."

Jiang Hanxi looked at Wang Feng's surprised expression, and with an unknown expression beneath her hat and white veil, she said calmly.

It was normal for a silly boy from a mountain village not to know; he could even sacrifice himself for others. Thinking about this, it was not surprising at all.

"Then should my Disciple also call you Fairy Sister?"

Upon hearing Wang Feng's words, an imperceptible displeasure arose on Jiang Hanxi's face beneath her hat and white veil, and she frowned slightly.

Even she herself didn't notice this situation until several days later when she finally realized it.

"No!"

Jiang Hanxi said coldly, and Wang Feng was utterly baffled. Why did he suddenly feel like she was angry?

"Fairy Sister, you wouldn't... only let me call you that, would you?"

Wang Feng looked at Jiang Hanxi with a grin, preparing to test her.

This great ice mountain might already have a great deal of good feelings for him, who knows.

"Fairy... Sister?"

Wang Feng tilted his head, looking at Jiang Hanxi with a grin, calling out half the name, pausing, and then quickly calling out the last two words.

"Fairy Sister? Fairy Sister?"

Seeing that Jiang Hanxi didn't respond, Wang Feng leisurely called out two more times.

But Jiang Hanxi stood rooted there, as if lost in thought, and Wang Feng couldn't help but feel a wave of confusion.

Since Jiang Hanxi was wearing a white veil hat, Wang Feng couldn't see her expression.

At this moment, Jiang Hanxi was trying hard to suppress the throbbing in her heart.

With each call of "Fairy Sister" from Wang Feng, Jiang Hanxi only felt her heart beating faster and faster.

What was going on?

Jiang Hanxi quickly concentrated and calmed herself down, then became puzzled again, not understanding what was going on.

"You... stop calling me that!"

Jiang Hanxi seemed to have originally wanted to say something else, but then her tone changed, and she let out a cold huff.

"Okay..."

Wang Feng's face was wronged (｡í _ ì｡), like a child who had been scolded by his elder.

Seeing his pitiful appearance, Jiang Hanxi wanted to say something.

In the end, her lips beneath the hat only moved, but she still didn't speak the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

Jiang Hanxi, who had spent most of her life cultivating, was ultimately no match in words for Wang Feng, the person she had cut down for eight lifetimes.

If one were to ask who understood Jiang Hanxi the most?

It would definitely be Wang Feng, even her Master didn't understand her as well as Wang Feng did.

Jiang Hanxi, who didn't know how to comfort people, could only continue walking forward in silence.

"Hey! Wait for me!"

Wang Feng looked at Jiang Hanxi, who had only left him with her back, and quickly stepped forward to catch up.

Jiang Hanxi found that he really stopped calling her that, and a certain indescribable emotion arose in her heart.

After the feeling of accelerated heart rate subsided, for some reason, she wanted to experience it again.

Wang Feng saw Jiang Hanxi's pace slow down a bit, and he quickly ran to the street vendor and bought two candied hawthorn skewers.

Wang Feng handed over a skewer of candied hawthorn, but Jiang Hanxi didn't take it. Wang Feng's actions became a little bolder.

He slowly placed the candied hawthorn skewer into her left palm, and only after realizing that Jiang Hanxi didn't slap it away did he relax.

"Fairy Sis... you eat it. This is very delicious."

Wang Feng hesitated to speak, but finally played his carefully remembered card.

"Fairy... why don't you take off that hat?"

Wang Feng seemed to have said half of it and then remembered Jiang Hanxi's words from just now, always getting stuck on the two words "Fairy."

"Are you doing this on purpose?"

Jiang Hanxi, holding a skewer of candied hawthorn, looked at the street through the white veil and said coldly.

"Call me if you want to. Why do you stop halfway?"

Tsk tsk tsk, women are truly fickle creatures.

Wang Feng sighed endlessly in his heart. Just now, she wouldn't let him call her that, and now she said to call her if he wanted to.

"Fairy Sister, it's just that I don't know your real name, so I can't help but subconsciously want to call you Fairy Sister."

Wang Feng was not polite and immediately called out in the next sentence. This was his original goal, as the saying goes, to catch by letting go.

"Jiang..."

"It's them! Catch them!"
