Chapter 1266 - 1261: Sleeping Together
As Qin Hao walked out of the Holy Acupoint, he saw Ah Sang standing in the wind, looking beautiful.
"Brother Hao!"
Ah Sang waved her hand as she approached, showing an eager expression. "How did it go? Did you receive the baptism?"
"Baptism? I did not." Qin Hao shook his head with a smile.
In order to enhance the strength of the Immortal Spirit Tribe, the Witch would choose to perform a Scorched Crown on every tribe member who became a high-ranking official.
The so-called Scorched Crown naturally refers to direct power transmission.
However, what was transmitted was not Spiritual Qi, but Inner Strength.
So, whether it was the Saintess, the Grand Elder, or the Clan Leader, all the Inner Strength within their bodies was actually taught by the Witch.
As for Martial Arts?
That was just something the Witch casually bestowed.
To him, a single Spiritual Technique could counteract countless Martial Arts, so teaching a little of it was harmless.
As for the existence of the Immortal Spirit Tribe, it was merely a bunch of "pets" raised out of the Witch’s boredom.
After all, being alone on this isolated island could be quite dull.
These things were all learned by Qin Hao from the Witch just now.
"How could that be? The Witch seemed to really like Brother Hao, why didn’t he give you a baptism?" Ah Sang’s face showed some disappointment.
Qin Hao shook his head and smiled, "I didn’t receive a baptism, but I got a reward that’s even higher than a baptism. You’ll understand these things in the future."
"That’s good then!" Ah Sang regained her happiness.
"Let’s go down the mountain." Qin Hao took Ah Sang’s small hand as they went down the mountain.
Ah Sang’s body bounced close, like a child being led by a parent.
After walking a while, Qin Hao turned back with a smile and said, "Ah Sang, why are you so nervous? Your hand is so cool..."
Halfway through his sentence, he stopped, startled.
Because right in front of him, Ah Sang turned her head to look elsewhere, her peripheral vision darting towards him, a blush on her cheeks, her lips lightly curling, looking every bit like a shy little girl.
All told, it was like a beautiful portrait, and Qin Hao couldn’t help but be a bit mesmerized.
But Ah Sang, feeling his gaze, became shy and said, "Brother Hao, why are you looking at me like that..."
Qin Hao quickly snapped back to reality, laughed, and said, "I was wondering why I met such a beautiful girl like you so late."
"Oh... Brother Hao, don’t say such things!"
Ah Sang was a shy type, and the two sentences made her blush deeply.
"Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. Let’s help me pick some herbs together." Qin Hao casually pointed at a patch of small purple grass.
Ah Sang was a little surprised, "Lord Witch actually allows you to pick herbs? Usually, we are very careful when we go up the mountain, afraid of damaging the herbs. An Elder once got punished for that."
Qin Hao thought: The Witch is my teacher’s uncle, how can he treat me the same as you.
But he smiled and said, "It’s also a gift from the Witch, don’t worry, he agreed to let me take anything, Ah Sang if you want, you can even strip the entire mountain bare."
"Then I’ll help Brother Hao pick some." Ah Sang bent down, her long legs stretching along as she reached out to pick the purple grass with her fair hands.
"Put it in the bag." Qin Hao opened the backpack, and Ah Sang was stunned when she saw the stalactite inside.
This kind of precious item, the Witch actually allowed Brother Hao to take?
Thereafter, all the way down, Qin Hao and Ah Sang embarked on a grand herb-picking plan.
Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, the sky had a hint of dawn’s light appearing, and it turned out to be morning already.
Qin Hao put the bag on his back, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile, "Ah Sang, thank you for today!"
"No need to thank me." Ah Sang replied, a bit worried, "Brother Hao, where do you plan to go next?"
Qin Hao yawned and said, "I need to sleep first, then consider looking for the outsiders."
"Looking for outsiders? Are you planning to join them?" Ah Sang realized that Brother Hao seemed to be an outsider too.
Qin Hao smiled without saying, not answering her question, then thought for a moment and said, "Ah Sang, where is your home, do you mind if I stay for a while? I just need to catch up on some sleep."
"In the west of the village, of course, it’s okay for Brother to come!" Ah Sang said, a little excited, "Then I’ll take Brother there, I can continue being your guardian."
"Why do you want to be my guardian? I can take good care of myself, you know." Qin Hao found Ah Sang exceptionally innocent and couldn’t help but pinch her little nose, "Ah Sang should sleep too, we need to stay well-rested."
Ah Sang’s smile froze, she said a bit awkwardly, "But... there’s only one bed in my house."
Qin Hao was taken aback but quickly realized, "Is this why you wanted to be my guardian?"
"Yes..." Ah Sang lowered her head, answering bashfully.
"Pfft!" Qin Hao couldn’t help but burst into laughter, "Ah Sang, you’re so cute. Having only one bed isn’t a problem! I’ll sleep on the floor, don’t worry, I’m a gentleman!"
"No! I’ll sleep on the floor!"
Ah Sang trusted Qin Hao’s character very much. However, recalling the various situations in the cliff cave before, a small flame rose in her heart.
In that dim environment, what Qin Hao did to her wasn’t something easy to forget.
Moreover, it seemed her body still carried the warmth from Qin Hao’s fingertips.
"Ah Sang?"
Qin Hao’s call brought Ah Sang back to her senses.
She uttered an "Ah," somewhat uneasy, "Then Brother, do you think it’s okay for me to sleep on the floor?"
"It’s all fine, as long as we sleep in the same room." Qin Hao grinned mischievously.
Ah Sang saw his smile, shyly turning away as her heart raced, but she said, "Brother, let’s go..."
They arrived at a straw hut on the village’s west side.
Qin Hao couldn’t help but shake his head and said, "Saintess living in such a place?"
While the Elders lived in two-story wooden buildings, the Clan Leader lived in a four-story little villa. Even people like Mang had wooden houses.
And yet, the Saintess Ah Sang lived in a straw hut.
This is too unfair!
"No, this was my old home, the Elders later arranged housing for me, but I’m just not used to it..."
Ah Sang explained as she pushed opened the door, revealing the entire interior.
Inside the room, there wasn’t much furniture, only a wooden bed.
Qin Hao casually closed the door and gently pushed Ah Sang onto the edge of the wooden bed.
Ah Sang tensed up, her breathing became rapid.
Seeing Ah Sang like this, flames quietly ignited in Qin Hao’s heart.
He gulped, feeling parched, and said, "Ah Sang, there doesn’t seem to be a floor mat here."
Ah Sang lowered her head, blushed like a red apple, whispered, "Could... go borrow from a neighbor."
"It would be imprudent to disturb someone so early."
"It’s okay, the old lady next door is very kind."
"Still, I think it’s better not to bother the elderly..."
"Oh... then what should we do..."
"Uh, I thought about it, let’s just reluctantly sleep together then..."
"Ah?"
With Ah Sang’s surprised cry, Qin Hao brazenly squeezed onto the bed, chuckling, "Time to sleep now!"
