He was already so agitated today, the harsh living conditions in Dragon Valley had him desperately trying to survive.
And yet this is what he has to face when he gets home!
Remembering the last time Ao Yan had tea, Jiang Xiaobai knew that Ao Yan, at this moment, probably was not in a good mood.
As expected, the moment she saw Jiang Xiaobai again, Ao Yan let out a light snort and threw the teacup in her hand onto the table.
“You’re shirking your responsibilities day by day, you really think you’re some kind of Dragon Valley prince?”
“Did you go to the Dragon Palace to refine pills? Or did you go to Uncle Third’s to cultivate?”
“Don’t you know that you’re able to survive now because I’ve been taking the heat for you?”
Unable to contain the anger in her heart, Ao Yan blurted out a bunch of things.
She herself was taken aback when she finished speaking.
“Why did I say so much to this mortal?”
Ao Yan wondered to herself.
She was completely oblivious to the fact that her attitude towards Jiang Xiaobai had changed significantly these days.
Had this been any other time, Ao Yan wouldn’t have told him about it, she would have even ignored Jiang Xiaobai.
As for Jiang Xiaobai, he was also taken aback.
He knew that his ability to survive now greatly relied on Ao Yan, so he had been trying his best to court her.
But the courting was completely ineffective.
Especially now that Ao Yan had said so much, it made Jiang Xiaobai uncomfortable.
Did this woman want to lay all her cards on the table?
“Forget it, what used to you have knowing all these things?”
Ao Yan suddenly stood up and gave Jiang Xiaobai a cold look.
Leaving these words behind, Ao Yan went straight into her room.
On the contrary, Jiang Xiaobai was left in the mist.
He urgently stopped a maid to ask her, but the maid could only shake her head intensely.
How could they, mere maids, know things even their lord didn’t know?
Having no other choice, Jiang Xiaobai braved himself to enter the room.
Ao Yan remained as closed-eyed and cultivating on the bed, as usual.
As Jiang Xiaobai approached tentatively, he saw Ao Yan suddenly open her eyes.
In her stunning eyes, there was a distinct coldness.
“What’s going on today?”
Jiang Xiaobai raised his eyebrows and enquired, “You don’t seem in a good mood?”
“What’s it to you?”
Ao Yan replied irritably, “Just shut up and go to sleep.” Simultaneously, an ice-cold chill filled the room.
Jiang Xiaobai’s legs kept buckling uncontrollably.
As if he dared to speak again.
But as the saying goes.
Knowing there is a tiger on the mountain, one still walks towards it.
Even if it’s a female tiger.
“Why are you so fierce? I merely asked you. If I were to cook for you, maybe fried rice or something, you should feel much better.” Jiang Xiaobai said without losing his nerve.
Instantly, a cold anger surfaced in Ao Yan’s eyes.
But immediately, such expression vanished.
Ao Yan looked at Jiang Xiaobai with a strange look in her eyes.
“Jiang Xiaobai, do you like me a lot?”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai smirked inwardly.
Isn’t this a sign of opportunity!
When a girl asks you this, it definitely means you have a chance!
“Yes, I was indeed captivated when I first saw you, but what I like isn’t your looks, I like your unusual air.”
“For instance, sometimes when you look back suddenly, sometimes when you smile, and your many vacant looks too, they’re exceptionally cute.”
“I blame you for being too competitive, when you’re not in a good mood, just say it. If others won’t take care of you, wouldn’t I take care of you?”
Jiang Xiaobai said while putting on a brave face, then turned around to leave the room, intending to cook.
Ao Yan watched as Jiang Xiaobai’s figure disappeared.
Afterwards, she narrowed her eyes, as a strange sensation surged in her heart once again.
She suddenly realised that her state recently wasn’t that all well, she kept thinking about Jiang Xiaobai.
Could it be that she also has fallen for him?
It can’t be. How can she fall for Jiang Xiaobai?
However, once she had thought about that, she couldn’t restrain herself anymore.
It wasn’t long before Ao Yan’s face turned red.
Leaving the room, Jiang Xiaobai finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Damn it, women are already hard enough to deal with, especially strong women like this.
Absolutely difficult to please!
“This time, I must impress her!”
Jiang Xiaobai snorted inwardly, marching straight into the kitchen. Soon, a bowl of aromatic fried rice was ready, carrying a faint whiff of chili.
“Here, eat slowly. You’ll probably feel better after eating.”
Jiang Xiaobai handed the fried rice to Ao Yan.
Ao Yan took it nonchalantly, having eaten Qin Chen’s meals for the past few days, she had lost interest in other cuisines of the Dragon Valley.
So as soon as she got it, Ao Yan started gulping it down hungrily.
However, who would have known that after the first mouthful, she spat out the second one before even putting it in her mouth.
Jiang Xiaobai could even see the white spiritual flame that was spat out from Ao Yan’s throat.
He nearly wet himself on the spot.
“Why is it so spicy?!” Ao Yan stuck out her tongue, and while waving her arms to alleviate the burden, she also took a sip of water.
“I didn’t know whether you liked spicy food or not, so I purposely added more chilli this time.”
Jiang Xiaobai hurriedly replied.
“You did it on purpose?” Ao Yan stared at Jiang Xiaobai fixedly.
“Of course not, whenever I’m not in a good mood, I usually eat something spicy, it helps to lighten my mood.
Hearing his excuse, Ao Yan just glanced at Jiang Xiaobai, and didn’t say anything else.
Seeing that she continued eating, Jiang Xiaobai said again.
“So, I have to go down the mountain tomorrow, I have some matters to attend to, it might take about three days…”
Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t bring himself to Finish his sentence.
Because, at this point, Ao Yan spewed out her food again.
“You’re downright stupid, daring to go down the mountain at this time, I can guarantee you’d never make it back to Dragon Valley in this lifetime.”
“So many people want to kill you, where’s your head?”
Ao Yan initially thought of Jiang Xiaobai as a smart person, but it turns out he can be quite stupid sometimes!
But Jiang Xiaobai paid no heed to her, he knew, he had already gauged her intentions.
Ao Yan was concerned about him!
“But if I continue to laze around and die, not actively cultivating, what use would it be? If the people of the Ancient Clan come, I would still die anyway.” Qin Chen sighed.
“You won’t be in danger.”
Ao Yan spoke all of a sudden, her expression was extremely calm.
“With me around, you won’t be in danger.”
“You don’t need to worry about the Ancient Clan, but it’s true that there have been a lot of problems recently. If you can, you…”

“You’d better not go.”
However, Ao Yan didn’t say much after that, she just stared at Jiang Xiaobai with a complex expression.
“Jiang Xiaobai, you, as a mortal, were involuntarily dragged into this because of my impulse, one way or another, I’ve ruined you.”
