Chapter 83: If I Let Them Handle Him, How Could I Thank You Even More?

Jiang Shi Yue was a little unhappy. She felt like she had been used. He clearly had so many expert shadow guards, yet he still made her, a weak woman, charge in and fight on the front line.

Was that something a person would do?

She snorted coldly. “Second Young Master Fu, every one of your subordinates is outstanding. Why did you need me to step in? With a flick of your finger, would that Crocodile Man still be a match for you?”

Seeing how clearly displeased the girl was, Fu Qing Han laughed. The smile on his face was rare, carrying a hint of gentleness.

He lifted his brows slightly and spoke at an unhurried pace. “I did plan to have them act, but then I remembered what you said in the car. If I let them handle him, how could I thank you even more?”

On the way here, Jiang Shi Yue had said to Fu Qing Han, “Don’t thank me too early. Soon you’ll be even more grateful to me.”

[Jiang Shi Yue: …]

Jiang Shi Yue fell silent for a moment, then copied Fu Qing Han’s gesture and raised her brows. “Fine. How are you going to thank me?”

Fu Qing Han did not answer. He gave a casual glance, and one of his subordinates came over, holding a medical kit with great respect.

The subordinate glanced at Jiang Shi Yue and opened the kit, but Fu Qing Han stopped him and took it himself.

He reached out and gently supported Jiang Shi Yue’s right hand. Under the light, the bloodstain on it was clear: a narrow, long cut, faintly red.

It was probably a scrape from the rock fragments that had flown up by accident earlier.

His fingers were cool, yet there was a strange warmth that slowly traveled through the air and sank into her skin.

Fu Qing Han’s brow tightened, almost imperceptibly.

He took out a tube of ointment and, with the gentlest motion, applied it to her wound.

The moment the ointment touched her skin, it felt cool, as if kissed by the night wind.

But Jiang Shi Yue suddenly could not tell whether the coolness came from Fu Qing Han’s fingers or from the ointment.

She lowered her gaze to him. From this angle, the lines of his features looked even more handsome, yet the moonlight softened them into a hazy blur.

It was as if the resentment in her heart suddenly faded away.

To be honest, she had not lost out.

Because while fighting Crocodile Man, she had assimilated a large amount of his mental power.

That counted as an unexpected gain.

Fine then. She decided to forgive Fu Qing Han for now.

They were partners, after all, and there would be plenty of time. She had all the time in the world to settle their accounts, one by one.

Fu Qing Han let go of Jiang Shi Yue’s hand and looked toward the Zhou family, who were standing nearby, completely dumbfounded.

You couldn’t blame them. They had grown up believing in science, and suddenly something happened that science could not explain. It was enough to shatter anyone’s worldview.

Their worldview had collapsed completely.

Fu Qing Han lowered his eyes. His voice remained emotionless as he asked casually, “What did you see tonight?”

“Nothing at all!” Zhou Tong He answered quickly. He loved to eat, drink, and have fun, but that did not stop him from knowing when to read the room. With a shameless grin, he spoke eagerly, “All I saw was an immortal maiden.”

His gaze turned to Jiang Shi Yue, sincerity written all over it.

[Zhou Yan Feng: How shallow do you have to be to be sure my big brother’s answer is right?]

But to his surprise, Jiang Shi Yue actually agreed. She smiled so brightly that her eyes curved into crescents, and she looked stunning. “Of course. You’re right.”
