Chapter 1546: Chapter 1368: A Stormy Night in Jianghu

"A down payment of five taels, and ten more upon successful completion!" the tailor said.

"No problem. But if I pay the money and you can’t give the correct answer, then you either refund me, or I dismantle your shop," Nan Feng replied indifferently.

The tailor set down his work and lifted the curtain inside the store, revealing a fitting room.

As Ye Ge and Nan Feng stepped in, the fitting room suddenly began to shudder and started descending slowly...

...

Xia Dabao had been staying in the Chixia Tribe for six consecutive days.

She hadn’t stepped out of the door once while taking care of Axian. When she was free, she’d practice her martial arts on the terrace and occasionally spar with those five guards.

She had wanted to spar with Yun Xiao as well, but Yun Xiao always had a cold expression. Xia Dabao didn’t provoke him to avoid being dispirited.

Yet, from time to time, she’d tempt him with some wine. Yun Xiao had become clever now, the moment he heard Xia Dabao mention drinking, he’d automatically jump to the roof, as being out of smell’s reach meant out of torment’s reach.

What delighted Xia Dabao the most was Axian’s condition.

After taking the medicine for six days straight, Axian’s waking periods increased, and he was even able to dine with Xia Dabao now, although she ate a variety of foods, and Axian could only have liquid diets. They could chat for a while at the dining table.

Even though he usually fell asleep after chatting for a bit.

But this was enough to thrill Xia Dabao tremendously. Axian’s health was recovering, and with their constant companionship, their relationship had grown better than before. She thought, what did sacrificing a little bit of her own blood really matter?

If needed, she could give her very life for him!

On the seventh day,

Xia Dabao was on the bed, telling Axian a story from her childhood about the battles of the Seven Calabash Brothers against a snake demon, just like her mother used to tell her.

Then Yun Xiao pushed the door open and entered.

Xia Dabao gave him a glance, and without so much as a greeting, continued her storytelling to Axian.

He was always coming and going at times anyway, she was not sure if he was there to watch or to protect, but if Yun Xiao kept a cold face, so did Xia Dabao.

And yet, Yun Xiao was looking at Xia Dabao.

Her actions remained the same: laying Axian on her lap, gently stroking his hair while narrating the story with much tenderness, in stark contrast to her usual mischievous behavior outside.

At first, there was a hint of gentleness in his eyes, which gradually turned into pity.

Today was another day for blood drawing.

He wondered what her reaction would be this time.

As he pondered, noise came from outside, and shortly after, Elder Yun and Hong Yan walked in.

This time, the bottle Hong Yan held was twice as big as the last one!

Yun Xiao’s expression returned to calm, and he stepped back, allowing Elder Yun and Hong Yan to approach Xia Dabao.

Axian had fallen back to sleep, and Xia Dabao gently laid him down, looking at his peacefully sleeping face. She had wanted to kiss him, but with so many people around, she refrained and simply covered Axian with the blanket.

After finishing this, she turned around and asked, "Why has Elder Yun come today, too? Isn’t it just for drawing some blood..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she saw the large bottle in Hong Yan’s hands, and her surprise was evident, "Elder Yun? Why do you need to draw so much today?"

Elder Yun walked up to Xia Dabao with a very amiable face and said, "Lady Dabao, here is the situation. The Clan Chief had indeed promised once every seven days, one small bottle each time, and he never intended to deceive you. It’s just that..."
