They quickly nodded to say ‘yes’.
Wang Hu did not elaborate further and quickly finished one-tenth of the food. He said gently, “Big Treasure, Little Treasure, after you are done with your food, come to that cave and look for Daddy and Mommy.”
“Okay.”
“Got it.”
The two little fellows nodded their little heads firmly as they ate.
Wang Hu smiled and returned to the cave with five-tenths of the food.
Di Baijun saw that the person she called a jerk had returned and immediately stopped trying to fix her crumpled shirt. Her gaze flickered unnaturally for a quick second before she sat collectedly with her legs crossed as though nothing ever happened.
Wang Hu couldn’t help but smile. As expected, regardless of how aloof a woman was, they would still be concerned about their looks.
He walked towards her, disregarded the ‘adorable’ stare that was threatening to kill him, and sat by her side.
“We don’t have many pills left. I’ll help you to digest these pieces of meat. You’ll be able to gain some energy.”
Wang Hu spoke coolly, and after finishing, he did not wait for Silly Girl to reply and started by releasing his divine power.
“You jerk—”
Before Di Baijun could finish her sentence, Wang Hu’s divine power began to transport the nutrition from digesting the meat into her body, which forced her to stop talking. She could only continue to use her stare, which Wang Hu called ‘adorable’, to shoot daggers.
After everything was digested, Wang Hu did not retract his divine power and shifted it to Silly Girl’s clothes instead. In the blink of an eye, her clothes regained their cleanliness.
Di Baijun clenched her teeth and became overwhelmed with embarrassment. How embarrassing! How could she let this jerk help her tidy up her clothes!
Still, Wang Hu did not retract his divine power. He held out both hands and made contact with Silly Girl’s long hair.
“You—”
Instantly, Di Baijun froze and wanted to struggle subconsciously, but Wang Hu was prepared and held her down without even retracting his divine power.
He turned her around gently and firmly and—with both hands—combed her white hair which clearly appeared to have been tidied but was still somewhat messy.
He did not use his divine power. He used only his hands to slowly and carefully detangle her messy hair.
Knowing deep down that she was unable to refuse, Di Baijun’s body was frozen and tight with tension. She closed her eyes tightly, trying to ignore what was going on—as though not seeing meant it never happened at all.
In addition, her complicated emotions made her reluctant to speak to the jerk. She clenched her teeth and shut her mouth. However, her face was a little red, and her heartbeat pounded a little faster.
Wang Hu stood behind the silly girl and was unable to stop himself from breaking into a smile as he saw that her face was all crumpled—as if she was about to be executed.
The messy hair was already fixed, but he continued to comb through it with his hands.
Smelling the faint clean scent coming from Silly Girl’s body and touching the soft and smooth white hair were so comfortable. Of course, he couldn’t just stop right away.
Moreover, he was smart enough to know that he could not say that, or else this silly girl might really fight him with her life, without a care in the world.
How amazing things had become. Different personalities made use of different ways to see things and solve things.
When dealing with Silly Girl, there were some things that he could do forcibly but must not say.
Since Silly Girl was weak now, if he forcibly did something, she would have to tolerate it for now and pretend nothing happened.
However, if he said it and let it be known to her, judging by her personality; who knew what she would resort to?
For example now, he helped her to manage her hair, and even after it was already neat, he did not want to let go… so he continued to pretend to comb it instead of making it clear that he was stroking it for fun.
After a few minutes, Di Baijun was at her limit. Under the tightly closed eyelids, she rolled her eyes back hardly.
Jerk, is he not done yet?
Is he trying to take advantage of me?
Wang Hu seemed to sense something, he blinked and spoke coolly, “Big Treasure and Little Treasure will be coming over later, let them keep you company for a while, and I will continue to help you recuperate.
“After a few days, when you are feeling better, we will move back. With the dinosaur world, there will be more meat and better nutrition.”
As he spoke, he thought about other places. Depending on dinosaur meat and the body’s self-regeneration alone were not enough to treat the huge damage caused to Silly Girl’s vital energy.
Upon hearing those words, Di Baijun instantly panicked. Not because of the issue of moving back, but because Big Treasure and Little Treasure were about to come in anytime.
Unable to care about anything else, her face reddened even more, and she yelped with discontentment, “Are—are you not done yet?”
Wang Hu thought it was funny, but he maintained his calm and stern look and spoke composedly and slowly, “Soon, I’m almost done.”
He finished his sentence, and he felt an urge to tease her again. He said with coolness in his voice, “Don’t be anxious. I have to let Big Treasure and Little Treasure see their most perfect Mommy.”
This time, even Di Baijun’s ears turned red, and her tightly clenched fists were even trembling slightly.
This damned jerk—what is he saying?!
How embarrassing!
Roar~!
“Mommy!”
At this moment, the voices of the children could be heard. Di Baijun came to her senses and hurriedly said in a low volume, “Faster, faster.”
Wang Hu suppressed a smile. He decided to let Silly Girl go and said coolly, “All done.”
He let go and retracted his divine power. Di Baijun immediately turned, straightened her body, and sat with her legs crossed.
Her hands touched her hair that rested on her shoulders unnaturally, and her gaze wavered as she tried her best to repress her heartbeat and her flushed face.
It wasn’t until she mustered courage and saw the jerk turn his back towards her from the corner of her eye that she breathed a sigh of relief and felt much at ease. She quickly adjusted her emotions.
Roar~!
“Mommy! Mommy!”
Two little fellows shouted as they ran in. They ignored their father and threw themselves at their mother.
Di Baijun smiled and reached out her hands, ready to pat their little heads.
However, just as she was about to touch their heads, Wang Hu made a step to the side and stood between them, and both of his hands touched the children’s little heads before she could.
Di Baijun, Big Treasure, and Little Treasure were startled. Big Treasure and Little Treasure raised their heads and looked at their father with confusion in their eyes while Di Baijun felt a little displeased.
“Behave Big Treasure, Little Treasure. Mommy is tired and needs to rest. You can’t throw yourselves at her like that,” Wang Hu said gently.
These two little fellows are quite strong. If they threw themselves at Silly Girl, she might feel unwell now that she’s so weak.
I had better prevent it from the get-go.
Big Treasure and Little Treasure could not quite understand, they tilted their heads and looked puzzled.
Di Baijun curled her lips and thought that the jerk was being a busybody and trying to prevent her from getting close with her children. He was even looking down on her. So what if Big Treasure and Little Treasure threw themselves at her, what would that do to her?
Roar~!
“Why?”
Little Treasure asked.
“Because Big Treasure and Little Treasure are big now. You are very strong. If you lunged forward at your mommy, you might hurt her,” Wang Hu explained patiently.
The two little fellows couldn’t fully understand, but they got the part ‘you are big now’. Their eyes glimmered and nodded without hesitation.
“Big Treasure, Little Treasure, don’t listen to what your daddy says. Come to Mommy,” Di Baijun said in a weak voice laced with slight disdain.
The two little fellows immediately ran past their daddy and lunged towards their mother, completely forgetting what was just said.
Wang Hu did not mind since they were just young children at two to three years old with lots of energy. It was impossible to expect them to follow instructions just by saying it one time.
Moreover, it would be safe from this short distance. As long as they didn’t lunge towards her from a long distance away, it would be fine.
Wang Hu thought for a second and left quietly to give them space.
Di Baijun felt relieved to see that and started to talk intimately with the two little fellows. Her voice was particularly soft and gentle.
Not long later, after about 30 minutes, Wang Hu walked into the cave, and Di Baijun’s gentle voice immediately went away.
Wang Hu brought Big Treasure and Little Treasure out of the cave and allowed them to watch cartoons. After settling the children down, he went back to the cave and helped Di Baijun with her recuperation.
It might be because it wasn’t the first time anymore so Di Baijun did not refuse this time. She kept her eyes closed throughout and appeared to passively let him do whatever he wanted.
Wang Hu suppressed an urge that he suddenly felt and focused on helping Silly Girl get better.
They were very close. Wang Hu sat behind Silly Girl with his legs crossed, both of his hands rested on her soft back. He released his divine power while absorbing spiritual energy and jointly used this spiritual energy with his divine power to nourish her weak body.
It did not consume much of Wang Hu’s divine power to do this.
The cave was unusually quiet.
Except, there was a heart that pounded relatively faster. Unknowingly, the face of the heart’s owner turned red again.
Until the next morning, Wang Hu finally walked out of the cave, and Old Third and Su Ling already came back with a huge amount of food.
Wang Hu purified the food and allocated some to Old Third, Su Ling, Big Treasure, and Little Treasure. He brought the rest back into the cave and helped Silly Girl in digesting the meat.
No matter what, these pieces of meat did serve some use.
After the cultivation was done, Wang Hu stood up and said, “Baijun, cultivate by yourself first. I’ll come and help you recuperate in the afternoon.”
Then, he walked out of the cave without waiting for a reply.
Di Baijun secretly opened her eyes a little and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that the jerk was gone. She then opened her eyes fully and appeared to be a little annoyed.
This jerk is more and more brazen.
Just you wait.
But he seems to be a little tired…
Could it be…?
Her heart skipped a beat, and her face began to flush. She immediately stopped her wild thoughts.
She raised her chin slightly with pride.
These are things he is obligated to do. I injured my vital energy because of him. It’s only expected of him to be tired.
Yes, it’s his obligation. No need to overthink.
Don’t overthink; you shouldn’t overthink.
She consoled herself silently. A while later, her face appeared annoyed. Somehow, there was an unusual feeling that she couldn’t shake away.
Moments later, she finally calmed down and started to recuperate.
Outside the cave and away from Silly Girl’s sight, the airs and graces that Wang Hu put on disappeared.
He had to put on a stern appearance that set him apart from his past self to intimidate Silly Girl and make her listen obediently despite her being weak.
He arrived at a mountain top not far away and began to circulate energy to recover his divine power and fatigue.
This short night had tired him tremendously.
His divine power had not stopped circulating and was being depleted throughout the night. It was no surprise that he was tired.
Tired!
Suddenly, when the word flashed across Wang Hu’s mind, he felt a shock and swore at himself for being silly.
Why didn’t I show how tired I was in front of Silly Girl?
I let such a good opportunity at scoring points for myself go to waste.
Never mind, there should be more opportunities soon.
Tired, so tired~
The more tired, the better. Even if I wasn’t that tired, we can dramatize it, too.
As time passed by, if Silly Girl saw that he was tired every day, she would definitely feel bashful or even touched.
After she recovered, based on her personality, she wouldn’t find it appropriate to make trouble for him.
He relaxed and grinned. As expected, it wasn’t hard at all to deal with Silly Girl. He just thought of a solution so easily.
After resolving a problem, he felt better and began to focus on recovering.
In a blink of an eye came the afternoon. Wang Hu, who had recovered aplenty, stopped waiting and went back into the cave. His deep and serious eyes had a hint of fatigue.
As he walked to Silly Girl, she opened her eyes, and both their gazes met. The next moment, Di Baijun shifted her gaze away unnaturally and felt her heart skip a beat.
Jerk, is he still so tired after recovering for the past few hours?
Wang Hu nodded at her and walked to the stone chaise lounge without saying a word. He proceeded to sit behind Silly Girl and started to raise both his hands.
Di Baijun came back to her senses and immediately stood up. Without looking at Wang Hu, she said coolly, “Hey, this noble one doesn’t need your help anymore.”
Wang Hu raised his eyebrows and released his gold-colored divine power to trap Silly Girl tightly. He controlled her and made her sit in front of him again.
“I’ve already told you many times. Do you still want me to repeat it?”
He said seriously and began to help her with recuperating.
Di Baijun got annoyed. She was being considerate but was ignored.
Hmph, whatever. Even if you die from exhaustion, you had it coming.
The quiet time of recuperation passed by slowly.
When it was evening, Wang Hu’s phone rang. Wang Hu immediately heard it as he had divided some attention to keep guard of the surrounding. He stopped recuperating, stood up, and walked down the stone chaise lounge. His body swayed slightly, appearing to have been overly exhausted. Still, he pretended as though nothing happened and walked out of the cave.
After Wang Hu left, Di Baijun frowned and became concerned.
That jerk’s divine power is getting weaker and weaker. It would take a long time for my origin power to recover. How can he last if he continues to do this every day?
By the time I recover, the jerk’s vital energy would be badly damaged, too.
Of course, I’m not concerned about that jerk, but if that were to happen, who would protect Big Treasure and Little Treasure?
But this jerk is so headstrong now. Now that I’m weak, he refuses to listen to me.
She appeared to be a little annoyed.
Outside the cave, Wang Hu picked up the call and remained silent. Meanwhile, he quickly contemplated, and the two little fellows stood by the side obediently.
“Hello, Your Excellency, I am Li Aimin.”
In the next second, a voice came from the other side of the phone. It was Li Aimin.
As he contemplated, he spoke with his regular cold voice, “Anything I can help you with?”
“Your Excellency, a few days ago, we detected that your place of seclusion had some unusual activity. We guessed that it was Your Excellency and the Tiger Queen, but we couldn’t be sure… so I made this phone call to confirm with you,” Li Aimin spoke with a smile and was straightforward in his words.
Wang Hu’s eyes narrowed and said without changing his tone, “Indeed, what’s the problem?”
Back in the capital, Li Aimin—who sat in his office—felt envious upon hearing the answer. This couple was definitely a match made in Heaven, almost like they were the children of the sky and the earth!
He paused for a second and spoke with excitement and glee, “Did Tiger Queen really reach the Third Realm? God bless our earth, how amazing!”
Wang Hu kept quiet and listened silently.
