7: Go sleep in my room.

Body Tempering Sixth Layer, success!

A faint chill lingered around Jiang Hanxi for a moment before entering her body and disappearing.

After resting for a while, Jiang Hanxi endured the hunger in her stomach; she could probably last a few more days.

Tomorrow, I'll go hunt some demonic beasts, give them some, and let them help me roast them; they should agree.

"Hey! Eat up."

At this moment, Wang Feng walked up to her, holding a skewer of demonic beast meat.

Being close to her, he always felt the surrounding temperature drop a bit; she was practically a human air conditioner.

"I won't..."

"Oh, don't be shy!"

Seeing that Jiang Hanxi showed no signs of aversion, Wang Feng seized the opportunity and immediately interrupted her.

He reached out and grabbed her tender hand, taking hold of the branch skewered with the demonic beast meat.

Jiang Hanxi hadn't expected the seemingly refined man in front of her to suddenly grab her hand.

She reacted instinctively, finding that she couldn't pull it away.

By the time she tried to exert more force, she realized he had already let go, and her hand was holding a skewer of demonic beast meat.

Wang Feng's expression remained normal on the surface, but in his mind, he bragged to the system, "See that? This move is called playing hard to get."

[Ding, Host is truly awesome. This is your last life; don't let her kill you again.]

Jiang Hanxi stared at the demonic beast meat in her hand, Stunned for a moment. This man was a bit presumptuous.

However, it was a kind gesture, so Jiang Hanxi didn't say anything.

"Tha-thank you."

Jiang Hanxi unskillfully uttered a thank you. Wang Feng waved his hand, "Heh~, we're all family."

Jiang Hanxi watched Wang Feng's retreating back and began to eat the demonic beast meat in her hand, taking small bites.

It tasted so good even without anything added. How did he roast it?

When she cultivated before, she primarily ate Bigu Pills before the Condensation Spirit Realm, and after the Condensation Spirit Realm, she simply consumed spiritual elixirs and other such items.

Naturally, she didn't know how these meats tasted.

She hadn't expected the taste to be much better than those spiritual elixirs, which were a mix of sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, and salty.

Jiang Hanxi was unwilling to get close to people, which seemed to have caused the villagers to isolate her.

The villagers were also bewildered by this suddenly appearing beautiful woman.

Then they remembered the 'zongzi' that Wang Feng had brought back, wrapped in tattered clothes.

Seeing the woman's angry expression as she rushed out of the house, and then looking at the dilapidated house not far away, the villagers were unwilling to speak to her, fearing they would be cut down by her sword.

By nightfall, the village chief found Wang Feng another uninhabited house.

According to the village chief, these houses originally belonged to the hunting team.

But they hadn't returned for a long time, and the houses were cleaned daily, so he could live there without worry.

Wang Feng understood the situation and also knew why the villagers were starving like this.

These mortals couldn't even find demonic beasts or wild animals, let alone defeat them if they did.

Wang Feng was now considered a relatively respected person in the village, after all, he had, in a way, saved most of the entire village.

"Thank you, Village Chief. Take care, Village Chief."

"Heh~, don't say such things; we should be thanking you. Oh, by the way, who is that girl?"

The village chief's words shifted halfway as he asked about Jiang Hanxi's identity.

"It's fine. I picked her up, and I'll make arrangements for her in a moment."

The village chief looked at Wang Feng strangely upon hearing this. No wonder he wanted a room.

He was 'doing business,' so it turned out to be this kind of business, but it didn't seem to have worked out.

"Uh..., haha, Village Chief, you should go back first."

Wang Feng chuckled awkwardly, seeing the village chief's strange gaze, and quickly urged him to leave.

If he let him ponder for a bit longer, things would probably get increasingly ridiculous.

Wang Feng stepped over to Jiang Hanxi and said faintly, "Are you going to sleep here?"

Jiang Hanxi didn't know how to answer, so she simply didn't answer him, closing her eyes and continuing to cultivate.

"Go sleep in my room."

Wang Feng only dared to say this after increasing the distance between them a little.

Sure enough, Jiang Hanxi immediately opened her deep, beautiful eyes and stared intently at Wang Feng.

"You, you, you don't look at me like that. I'm just telling you to sleep in my room."

"Don't you think, if you sleep here, everyone in the village will definitely come to see you before going to bed, and then your impression will become that of an unwanted child."

Wang Feng stammered a bit. Being glared at by her like that just now brought back the trauma of being killed in his previous eight lives.

Jiang Hanxi's pupils contracted slightly when she heard "unwanted child."

She sat there cross-legged, thought for a while, and finally got up and stood.

Wang Feng was overjoyed at the sight. Sure enough, this Ice Empress still cared about her reputation.

Wang Feng knew that the Ice Empress had been abandoned by her parents since childhood.

She was eventually found by an elder saintess of a Holy Land, who discovered her excellent aptitude.

She even had a special spiritual root, was taken in as a direct disciple, and then her life became like a cheat code.

It could be said that apart from being abandoned by her parents, there was almost nothing in her life that could be considered a blemish.

Oh, right, there were also those two times she was grabbed and that one time she was kissed by Wang Feng in his eighth life.

"Then... shall we go?"

"Mm."

Wang Feng confirmed again, and seeing her agree, he turned and went back into the house. Jiang Hanxi naturally followed.

What Jiang Hanxi didn't know was that there were several other empty houses in the village; she had simply been tricked into the house by Wang Feng.

"You... seem a little familiar."

Upon entering the house, Jiang Hanxi actually spoke first, but this sentence almost made Wang Feng's heart jump out of his chest.

"But I seem to have forgotten you."

Jiang Hanxi frowned and thought carefully but still couldn't recall.

"How is that possible? I've never left this village since I was born. You must be mistaken."

Wang Feng quickly made up a bunch of nonsense to disrupt her thoughts.

"Is that so?"

Jiang Hanxi furrowed her brows and said softly, perhaps she really had remembered incorrectly.

After tens of thousands of years, how could Jiang Hanxi remember this nameless junior whom she had killed six times?

Perhaps she would have remembered for a while back then, but tens of thousands of years had passed, and she had long forgotten.

The only two people she truly remembered were her master.

And the other was the person who had grabbed her and kissed her, but they were all dead.

Wang Feng pretended to search around the room, then seemingly casually said, "Oh dear, there isn't a second bed here."

Jiang Hanxi coldly watched his clumsy acting, frowned, and said, "I can sleep on the floor."

"How can that be? You sleep on the bed; I'll sleep on the floor."

Wang Feng spoke like a simpleton, which surprised Jiang Hanxi.

She had thought Wang Feng was going to suggest they squeeze together and sleep.

"System, what's this move called?"

Wang Feng said to the system with a laugh in his mind.

[Playing hard to get?]

"No, this is called 'making a feint to the east and attacking in the west.' I'm making her think I want to sleep with her, but the result is that I'm going to sleep on the floor. This way, she'll think I'm an honorable gentleman."

[Awesome!!]

After hearing the system's praise, Wang Feng nodded with satisfaction in his heart.
