Not listening, not listening. For soone like Tang Rao, who lies as easily as breathing, Wang Han wouldn't believe a word he says.
"Young lady, I'm not in good shape right now, so there's no way I can handle any trouble you want to give . Please spare my life for now. If you want to give a hard ti, could you wait until I'm better?"
Tang Rao saved Wang Han's life, and yet Wang Han still wants to give Tang Rao trouble. Is this the legendary "repaying kindness with enmity"?
"Forget it. I see you're awake now; do you need sothing to eat?"
Wang Han suddenly being so nice to Tang Rao made him a bit uncomfortable.
"Hungry, yeah. I want to eat sothing, but my hands and feet aren't working right, I can't cook for myself. I might as well starve to death."
Tang Rao's pitiful appearance softened a corner of Wang Han's heart.
"Might as well starve to death?"
Wang Han raised her eyebrows, pursed her lips, and left the room.
Soon after, even before seeing Wang Han, the aroma of a stew wafted in.
"What's that sll, why does it sll so good?"
"Didn't you say you were hungry? I prepared so Snow Beast stew for you. It's very nutritious."
Wang Han walked in gracefully from outside, feeling a bit shy while introducing the dish.
"Snow Beast stew? That's extravagant."
Tang Rao naturally knows what a dish like Snow Beast stew is. Snow Beasts are priceless, and a bowl of stew is equivalent to a sixth-grade elixir pill.
To Tang Rao, a sixth-grade elixir pill is nothing. He can make them anyti. But for Wang Han, a sixth-grade elixir pill is valuable. Since she can't afford one, she uses Snow Beast stew instead, showing she truly cares about Tang Rao.
"If you don't want to eat it, I can always give it to the household servants as a reward."
With the Snow Beast stew in Wang Han's hands, if she wanted to reward soone with it, it would be done in a minute.
Tang Rao panicked upon hearing this; he wished he could suddenly get up from the bed and grab the bowl directly. However, his body wasn't healed, and he had no energy left, leaving him feeling a bit hopeless.
"No way, I want to eat it! I've never had such a top-tier dish before!"
Seeing the sparkle in Tang Rao's eyes, he didn't seem to be lying.
Wang Han noticed Tang Rao appreciated her cooking and without another word sat by his bed, serving the soup into a bowl, bringing it close to him, and personally feeding him.
"Miss Wang Han, a woman as beautiful and kind-hearted as you is truly rare. I must have accumulated a lot of good karma in my past life to be able to taste the soup you cooked yourself."
The more Tang Rao spoke, the more exaggerated he beca. He was clearly flattering her, but Wang Han didn't find anything wrong with the complints.
She is indeed beautiful; that's true.
She is kind-hearted; that's also true.
Tang Rao was simply speaking the truth, so what's there to praise?
"Miss Wang Han, may I ask if the Crystal Core of the Snow Beast is with you?"
Having finished everything in the bowl and wiping his mouth, Tang Rao suddenly thought of so unanswered questions.
"A Crystal Core? This is an adult Snow Beast, so it's normal to have a core. But the Snow Beast's Crystal Core, though precious to others, is like chicken ribs to , having no substantial use."
Wang Han answered truthfully.
"So, you have the Crystal Core, but it has no use for you, so you just keep it around?"
Tang Rao's eyes sparkled with determination as he realized he was quite set on obtaining that Crystal Core from Wang Han.
"That's more or less it. It depends if soone needs it, and if they do, I'll give it to them."
Giving away an adult Snow Beast's Crystal Core?
Tang Rao found it incredible that Wang Han could be so generous.
"I need it, I need it. How about giving it to ?"
Tang Rao thick-skinnedly tried to get it from Wang Han.
"Give it to you?"
Wang Han seed to be considering whether to give it to Tang Rao. Tang Rao asked Wang Han again, "Seeing as these things have no use to you, why not just give them to ? I can exchange sothing for it!"
Tang Rao showed his sincerity in wanting to trade, and if Wang Han still refused, it would an she had a grudge against him or was targeting him deliberately.
"What would you offer in exchange? While the Snow Beast Crystal Core isn't of value to , you know its worth to others."
aning, if you can't co up with an offer that satisfies , don't think about trading the Crystal Core with .
To treat her savior this way left Tang Rao utterly hopeless.
"I know its worth; trust . But I'm offering all I have. If not, tell what you want, and as long as I have it, I'll give it to you!"
Tang Rao looked at Wang Han with peach blossom eyes, much like a child awaiting an adult to give him snacks.
"If it's sothing I want, you'll give it to ?"
Wang Han seed satisfied with the conditions proposed by Tang Rao.
"As long as I have it and you want it."
Since it's all in Tang Rao's Space Ring, even if Wang Han asked for sothing unreasonable, he could always claim he didn't have it. Wang Han certainly couldn't open his Space Ring and check its contents, could she?
"I want you to marry !"
Tang Rao was so shocked he nearly had a stroke.
"You're not kidding , are you?"
Wang Han, whether joking or not, surely understood.
"Of course not. Didn't you say you'll give whatever I want as long as you have it?"
Of all things he could offer, why did she choose him, a living person, instead of sothing else?
"That's what I said, but I didn't an you could want !"
Tang Rao was deeply despairing. If he actually married Wang Han, was there any chance of a peaceful future?
"I only want you! I'll give you the Crystal Core if you give you."
This kind of logic?
She doesn't care about others' opinions and perceptions?
"Aren't you worried that saying such things would invite ridicule from others?"
"I don't care. Why should I care?"
She had already taken the first step, not fearing the second or third...
"If marrying you can protect my reputation, then I hope it's you!"
As long as marrying Tang Rao ensures no other n covet her, Wang Han felt her choice was right.
"Seems you just want as your scapegoat, expecting to bear the bla. Sorry, this isn't the life I want, and I can't accept such an arrangent."
Tang Rao never thought he could accept a woman without blinking an eye.
"Then don't even think about the Crystal Core. Apparently, the Crystal Core isn't as important as we thought."
Wang Han implied if he didn't agree to her terms, she wouldn't et his condition either.
