C13 Temporary Preservation of Life

"No need." Chi Qingxing coughed lightly and wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief. He turned his head to look at Jiang Wanbai. Jiang Wanbai was still eating, even if she did not say anything and was eating with her head down, her speed could not be fast.

Chi Qingxing looked at it, raised his eyebrows and asked: "Are you a cat's tongue?"

"Hmm? "Ah, yes." Jiang Wanbai took a moment to raise his head and look at him. Then, he nodded and went to eat.

The cat's tongue was sensitive to temperature. For normal people, the temperature that was just right might be hot for Jiang Wanbai, but for him, it was hot for the tongue. This was also the reason that she was always a lot slower than her surroundings when eating.

Similarly, when she ate, she lacked a lot of happiness. For example, in the winter, when everyone was having a hot meal, she was still there blowing on the pot, waiting for the lamb rolls to cool down.

He didn't expect that after his rebirth, this body would have a cat's tongue.

However, before this, as a fool, Jiang Wanbai only ate leftovers. No one would notice this, right?

Qing Zhu sent the stewed soup over after Chi Qingxing remained seated. Chi Qingxing originally had no appetite, but after seeing Jiang Wanbai eat something, he unexpectedly had an appetite again. He took the soup and drank a mouthful at a time, then ate another two pieces of pastries.

Qing Zhu counted at the side, so happy that she was on the verge of tears.

When Chi Qingxing finally reacted, he was also quite surprised.

"Alright, let's go take a look at Jade. We'll talk after we save your life." Jiang Wanbai took the handkerchief and wiped his mouth before standing up.

Qing Zhu rushed to the study room and took out the embroidered box.

When he opened the box, Jiang Wanbai knew that Chi Qingxing was right. In such a small place, there were not many people who could afford to buy jade.

Qing Zhu scratched her head and saw the frown on Jiang Wanbai's forehead. She said, "Miss Jiang, there's only one shop that sells jade in this town, so I bought all of their jade."

In total, there were seven pieces of jade, one of which was as big as a thumb, the other six were also jade pendants with rough carvings of flowers. Jiang Wanbai thought that this was not the 21st century, without the existence of gambling stones, it would be difficult for her to buy natural unadorned jade.

But...

Jiang Wanbai looked at Chi Qingxing and asked with a cough, "Do you know where I can buy those jade pieces that have yet to be carved?"

"It is also the raw material for the jade ornament." Jiang Wanbai said.

Chi Qingxing nodded. Seeing that Jiang Wanbai's eyes lit up, he said, "We'll talk about it after we return to the capital."

"Alright." Jiang Wanbai nodded and picked his things. He picked out three pieces of the seven jades and played with them as he walked towards his room, "Don't call me for lunch, I'm not eating anymore."

She carried a box into the dining room with a tired expression. Chi Qingxing was already sitting there and when he saw her enter, he looked at her and asked: "Is it done?"

"More or less." Jiang Wanbai sat down, handed the box to Chi Qingxing and said, "This is for you."

She did not use any tools to carve, she only relied on her fingers and cultivation technique, but her body was weak to begin with, and her cultivation technique had only just started to be picked up. After a day of rest, she had carved a jade talisman, and now she was tired and hungry.

After giving the jade talisman to Chi Qingxing, she started to eat with her head lowered. Chi Qingxing opened the box and saw a jade talisman inside.
