81: Actually, I have a nickname.

What the hell am I shouting about?

Wang Feng knew in his heart that shouting was useless; at most, he would only make it to the door.

By then, those old geezers outside would surely drag him back and do Jiang Hanxi a small favor.

Having thought it through, Wang Feng lowered his hands from his mouth, walked to Jiang Hanxi's side, and sat down.

Meeting Jiang Hanxi's surprised gaze, Wang Feng forcefully picked up the kettle on the table, then heavily took a cup and placed it on the table.

He poured himself a cup of water with force, his gaze fixed on Jiang Hanxi the entire time, as if he wanted to stare her to death.

"Gulp~"

"Ah!!!"

He gulped down the cup of water...

This was boiling hot water!

It scalded Wang Feng, making him jump up, and some water spurted from his mouth.

Wang Feng only felt a burning sensation in his mouth now.

Fortunately, he cultivated, otherwise, he would have definitely developed blisters and his throat would have been scalded hoarse.

"Pfft..."

Jiang Hanxi couldn't help but chuckle at this scene; the water she drank had been cooled with cold energy.

This guy, like an idiot, ran over and drank it directly without even looking.

Wang Feng was concentrating on using spiritual energy to heal the scald in his mouth when he suddenly heard a sound.

He looked up and saw Jiang Hanxi looking at him with an unchanging expression, as if nothing had happened.

Was it his imagination?

This Hanxi knew it was hot water but didn't say anything, she was intentionally trying to make him look foolish, wasn't she?

"Why do you insist on taking me to the Ice Palace?"

Once his mouth felt better, Wang Feng pretended not to know and asked Jiang Hanxi.

"You might have the potential of a Great Emperor. If that's truly the case, if you join my Ice Palace, I won't treat you unfairly, how about it?"

"How about it? What can I do? You can just tie me up. Who can tie me up better than you!"

Wang Feng showed a speechless expression. Jiang Hanxi now had the Golden Silk Rope.

And they were currently in the Sword Sect. Although the Ice Palace and the Sword Sect weren't as close as siblings, their relationship was still harmonious.

He truly couldn't escape now.

Unless he spent all his source points, gambled on luck with a lottery, and hoped to draw a high-grade teleportation talisman.

But then again...

Wang Feng was afraid that if he used a teleportation talisman produced by this scamming system, he might end up falling from above Jiang Hanxi's head.

It would be awkward if he didn't teleport away and instead wasted a teleportation talisman only to land in her arms.

And it definitely wouldn't just be awkward; he would surely face dire consequences.

Thinking this, Wang Feng simply stopped struggling. With this time, it was better to foster a little more affection.

"Actually, I have a nickname that I particularly like people I like to call me."

"Hmm?"

Hearing Wang Feng's words, Jiang Hanxi slightly raised her delicate eyebrows, sounding puzzled.

"What does that have to do with me?"

Jiang Hanxi gently put down the cup in her hand and looked at Wang Feng with a puzzled expression.

Are you truly not understanding or just pretending not to understand, Wang Feng secretly thought to himself.

"My nickname is 'Husband'."

"So, if you call me by this nickname, I'll obediently go with you to the Ice Palace, how about it?"

After Wang Feng finished speaking, Jiang Hanxi's eyes visibly became suspicious.

"What does this nickname of yours mean?"

Jiang Hanxi did not understand the meaning of the word 'husband'.

Why would he obediently go to the Ice Palace with her just by calling him that?

One would know with a moment's thought that something was amiss, 99% amiss.

"There's no other meaning, because... I... like you."

Jiang Hanxi suddenly looked up, her beautiful eyes staring at Wang Feng, stunned for a moment.

Was this... an expression of affection towards her?

"You like... me?"

Unbeknownst to her, a faint blush had already risen on Jiang Hanxi's cheeks, making her look incredibly adorable.

This was the first time she had been shown affection by a man, and her heart involuntarily began to beat faster.

Because in the past, any man who showed even a slight hint of impropriety was directly cut down by her.

"Mm-hmm."

Wang Feng nodded with an innocent gaze.

"No!"

"You know that the Ice Palace's biggest taboo is so-called love and affection."

Jiang Hanxi scoffed, stood up from her chair, and turned away.

"Since you might become my disciple, you must abide by the Ice Palace's rules!"

"It's okay if you don't want to. How about you just call me 'husband', and then I'll obediently go to the Ice Palace with you?"

"Is that true?"

When Jiang Hanxi turned around again and spoke, the slight blush on her face had already disappeared.

"It's true."

Hearing this, Jiang Hanxi's red lips slowly lifted.

"Hus...band."

A pleasant sound rang out. Jiang Hanxi paused halfway through, meeting Wang Feng's "innocent" gaze.

"Yes~ !"

This one call made Wang Feng's heart blossom with joy and his spirits soar.

So exhilarating!!!

"Are you tricking me again?"

Jiang Hanxi sensed something was off. It was just a title, yet he responded so happily and drawn out.

"No, because I like you. When someone I like calls me, I truly become very happy."

Wang Feng's words launched an undisguised offensive against Jiang Hanxi.

Jiang Hanxi looked at Wang Feng with some suspicion, wondering what trick this liar was playing now.

"I don't like you."

"It's alright, as long as I like you, it doesn't hinder you from not liking me."

Jiang Hanxi was left speechless and simply ignored Wang Feng, looking elsewhere in the room.

She had rejected him so obviously, yet he was still so infatuated.

Wang Feng looked at her avoiding gaze, his heart filled with amusement.

Although it hadn't reached the point of her falling in love with him, there should be some feelings, right?

Otherwise, why would she blush if he teased her a little?

In the past, if he had dared to tease her like this, let alone blushing, she would have probably pulled out her Cold Sword and given him a good strike.

[Ding, the three great illusions of life. The biggest illusion of a loser: She looked at me, she likes me!]

"Hey! You damn system, don't you go yapping at me here."

Hearing the sudden system's taunt, Wang Feng cursed inwardly.

"It's getting late, let's go to bed quickly."

Hearing this, Jiang Hanxi looked at the bed, which could only accommodate one person at most this time.

Then she remembered the scene from the middle of the night a few days ago. Just thinking about it, she felt her arm tingling now.

"If you're tired, you can sleep first."

Jiang Hanxi observed Wang Feng's expression, as if trying to discern something from his face.

But she hadn't been able to figure him out for so long, so how could she now?

"Aren't you sleeping?"

"No, cultivating is more effective for me than sleeping."

Looking at Wang Feng's bewildered expression, Jiang Hanxi refused without hesitation.

"Oh, oh, oh, I get it, it's because this bed is too small, right?"

Wang Feng looked at the bed as if he had just realized something; this bed was indeed a bit small.

The elder who brought them here probably only thought of Jiang Hanxi, automatically ignoring him, the other living person.

Jiang Hanxi remained silent, not mentioning that this bed was small.

Even if this bed were larger than the room, she still wouldn't sleep with this liar.
