Unpalatable.

Xia Ming commented so straightforwardly on the barbecue made by Ming Nanyan.

The little expectation in Ming Nanyan's eyes suddenly turned into sadness of loss.

"Why, do you think I'm lying to you? Then you can eat it yourself."

Ming Nanyan picked up the barbecue stuck on the branch in his hand and tried to take a bite.

Good work! Good firewood!

It really doesn't taste good at all.

In fact, this should have been expected.

This was her first time grilling meat. How could she master the heat like a skilled chef? If she could barely eat it, she was considered qualified. How could she still expect to be able to make delicious food for the first time?

Rather than saying that she was delusional about this, it would be better to say that she was actually longing to hear Xia Ming's voice change her mouth and say it was delicious and praise her even though she knew the barbecue in her mouth was unpalatable.

However, Xia Ming did not let her wish.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xia Ming, I made such unpalatable food..." Ming Nanyan cried sadly.

"Then do you still want to die now?"

"Eh?" Ming Nanyan looked stunned.

"Ming Nanyan, barbecue looks simple, but it's actually not easy to make, right?"

"Yes, it is."

"People will die if they don't eat. Look, you just want to fill your stomach. You have ready-made food and ready-made firewood at hand. Even so, you still spent a lot of hard work just to make it."

A barbecue is so delicious."

Ming Nanyan raised his head and looked into Xia Ming's eyes.

"Mr. Xia Ming, what you want to say is..."

"I want to say that your story does sound tragic, and I sympathize with you, but there are still many people in this world who work hard and risk their lives just to get food to fill their stomachs. Their living conditions

It’s not even as good as us who are sleeping in the wilderness now, eating even more unpalatable food. Even with such struggles, they still haven’t given up hope and are trying to survive.”

"I'm not here to judge whether your suffering is more miserable than theirs. I'm just asking you, do you still want to die now?"

Xia Ming straightened up and stared at her very seriously.

His eyes were shining brightly in the fire, and the light was like a ray that suddenly penetrated Ming Nanyan's cold and silent heart, activating the small flame that was drowned by despair and darkness.

"me……"

Ming Nanyan was silent and trembling, but his palms clenched unconsciously into the shape of a fist.

"Your father, don't you have any dissatisfaction or resentment about the Ming family treating you like this?" Xia Ming asked her again.

"Could it be that...are you really willing to die silently in the mouth of a wild beast without any desire to come back with revenge?"

How could it not be?

How she longed to be accepted by the Ming family and to receive her father's care and attention.

She worked hard to fulfill all her father's requirements and endured the pain of being injected with medicine every time she checked her body. She thought she was getting better, but in the end she discovered that everything was false.

How can you not hate it?

Ming Nanyan clenched her fists.

If we say before, she almost lost her will to live due to a severe blow.

So now, under Xia Ming's words of treatment, she has rekindled her desire for life because she has found the goal of living.

"Mr. Xia Ming, I...I want..."

The girl looked down at her clenched fist. This fist was so weak and powerless, but it did not hinder her from making up her mind.

"I want to take revenge for everything. I want to return to the Ming family and take back everything!"

The girl turned around and looked in the direction of the city. There was City No. 2, where the behemoth Ming clan stood.

The firelight only illuminated her back, and her face was completely dark under the cover of night.

"Okay, I support you mentally."

Xia Ming patted Ming Nanyan on the shoulder, turned her body back, pointed to the barbecue on the side and said.

"Whether you want to take revenge or not is up to you, but at least you can't starve yourself to death before you succeed in revenge. The meat will be cold."

Ming Nanyan raised his head and mustered up the courage to look directly into Xia Ming's eyes for the first time.

"Mr. Xia Ming, thank you!"

"I just don't want the people I saved to turn around and die again. It would appear that my good intentions were in vain and that my efforts were in vain."

Xia Ming finished the barbecue in his hands in three bites, clapped his hands and said:

"More importantly, I never do business at a loss. I haven't figured out what your reward will be. How can you die if I want to take the reward from you?"

Ming Nanyan felt a warmth flow through his heart. He picked up the barbecue and smiled lightly at Xia Ming:

"Mr. Xia Ming, please rest assured. I will definitely not seek death before I complete your repayment."

She knew how hard Mr.

Will to live well.

This is a different kind of warmth that I can't feel from my father.

So sincere, delicate, and moisturizing without any sound.

In fact, even if Mr. Xia Ming hadn't said the last words and aroused her resentment towards the Ming family and Ming Yuancheng, she would no longer be desperate to seek death.

Because in addition to completing the goal of revenge, she found another goal that supported her survival.

Ming Nanyan secretly raised his eyes and glanced at Xia Ming, who was resting against the big tree, and the warmth flowing in his heart became stronger and stronger.

She swallowed the unpalatable barbecue hard and quickly, then came to Xia Ming and whispered:

"Mr. Xia Ming, it's not good to rest against a tree trunk. My thigh can continue to be used as a pillow..."

Xia Ming opened his eyes and squinted at her, then curled his lips in disgust and pointed at her black and white face and dirty body.

"You're not clean."

"I don't want to sleep with an unclean woman."

"Ah, yes...I'm sorry!"

Ming Nanyan stood up in shock, and then realized how dirty she had made herself just trying to make an edible meal.

Xia Ming stood up and patted the dust on his body, pointed to the distance and said:

"Let's go. There is a stream not far away, which is enough for you to clean your body."

It was pitch black ahead, but with Xia Ming by his side, Ming Nanyan didn't feel scared at all.

only……

"Mr. Xia Ming, just... if you just want to clean your body, you don't need to use spiritual energy to light up this place, right?"

By the creek, Ming Nanyan covered her chest shyly and hesitated to get into the water.

Beside her, Xia Ming was opening his eyes wide, turning his spiritual energy into a ball of light like a light bulb to illuminate the area in front of him.

"I'm not doing this just for your convenience. If you don't illuminate it, how will you know where your body is dirty and where it's not?" He looked at Ming Nanyan seriously and said.

Seeing Xia Mingyi's stern words with a serious expression on his face, Ming Nanyan's heart was shaken.

Maybe... Mr. Xia Ming really thinks this way?

"If you are afraid of someone peeping, don't worry, this is a deserted place with no human habitation, and I will also set up an extra layer of psychic barriers just in case."

"Or……"

Xia Ming looked at her a little hurt.

"Do you suspect that I'm a voyeur?"

My spiritual power is called the light of justice, and everything I do is righteous. How can you doubt me!
