Chapter 1217: Good!

“What?” the old man was startled after hearing Crystal’s words because he found it hard to believe what he was hearing.

Xiao Tian seemed like a good young man, and based on his caring attitude to Crystal, the old man thought Xiao Tian was not a playboy.

Xiao Tian looked at Crystal before sighing.

‘Crystal, why did you reveal it? Sigh.’

He could not deny it because what Crystal said was true.

The old man turned his head to look at Xiao Tian. “Is that true?”

“Well, it’s true.” Xiao Tian gave an honest answer.

“How many girlfriends do you have now?” the old man asked curiously.

“….More than one.” Xiao Tian did not tell the exact number.

“Tell me the exact number.” The old man wanted to know how many girlfriends Xiao Tian had now.

“Crystal, it seems like you will be able to walk again from tomorrow onwards.” Xiao Tian changed the topic of conversation because he did not want to answer the old man’s question.

“Hehe. He is changing the topic of conversation.” Of course, Crystal knew the reason why Xiao Tian changed the topic of conversation.

Actually, she was a little surprised when Xiao Tian tried to hide it because he was someone who loved boasting.

“Young man, can you afford their daily needs? You should not have more than one girlfriend if you can’t effort their daily needs.” The old man knew a few people who had many women in the past.

However, all of them were rich, so he wanted to know if Xiao Tian could afford their daily needs or not.

The corner of Xiao Tian’s lips twitched.

‘This old man is underestimating me.’

Of course, he was not angry at the old man because what the old man said was true.

Money!

Yes, they needed to have a lot of money if they wanted to have more than one girlfriend or wife because everything needed money.

They needed money to go on a date. They needed money to take their lover to a restaurant or a romantic place.

In short, it was impossible to make their lover happy without money.

Before Xiao Tian could answer the old man’s question, Crystal replied, “Elder, he is rich. He managed to raise his family status from a lower-class family to an upper-class family in just two years. He even has a few companies now.”

“Oh!” The old man was startled again. “I did not expect you to be talented in business.”

The old man knew a few talented people before he lived in the forest, but their achievements were not as amazing as Xiao Tian.

“You are as amazing as me, young man. Even though I was more handsome than you when I was your age. Hehe.” The old man laughed after praising himself.

“Hehe.” Crystal covered her mouth and giggled.

Black lines formed on Xiao Tian’s forehead. He did not expect that the old man would praise himself like that.

They began to talk about many things again. At this moment, the old man told Xiao Tian and Crystal his name.

Xing Hanxian!

Yes, his name was Xing Hanxian.

Due to how interesting their conversation was, they did not realize it was already 05:00 pm.

“Elder, we have to return to the cave now because it’s almost dark.” Xiao Tian uttered.

They were in the forest, so it was dangerous to walk in complete darkness. That was why they had to return to the cave immediately.

“Wait here.” Xing Hanxian entered his house before returning to the front yard. “Here, take these fruit. You can eat these fruit for dinner later.”

Xing Hanxian gave Xiao Tian some fruit because he was satisfied with their job. They also talked with him and made him happy, so he gave these fruit as a reward.

Xiao Tian accepted the fruit immediately. “Thank you, elder.”

‘Good! With this, we have something to eat for dinner.’

He added in his mind.

“Thank you, elder.” Like Xiao Tian, Crystal was also pleased.

“Don’t forget to come to my house again tomorrow morning. I will give you two some food again if you help me make a fence.” Xing Hanxian told Xiao Tian and Crystal to come to his house again tomorrow morning.

Previously, they agreed to build a fence from the backyard to the well because it could protect them from wild beasts.

“Alright. We will come again tomorrow morning.” Xiao Tian and Crystal replied in unison.

Xiao Tian immediately carried Crystal before heading to the cave.

—–

Forest, Cave.

As usual, they sat on the leaves after making a bonfire.

Xiao Tian and Crystal were pleased because they could eat some fruit for dinner. They were also no longer starving because they ate a lot earlier.

“Luckily, that elder is kind.” Crystal regarded Xing Hanxian as a kind person because he was willing to help them.

Not only that, he even gave them some fruit before they returned to the cave. 

“Yes.” Xiao Tian also saw Xing Hanxian as a kind person. “I did not know what would happen to us if that elder refused to share his food with us earlier.”

Xiao Tian and Crystal talked about many things for two hours before finally, they slept.

The following morning, Xiao Tian woke up at 06:00 am. 

To his surprise, he saw Crystal walking not far from him. Even though she still could not walk properly, but she did not fall to the ground.

“Crystal, you can actually walk now?” Xiao Tian rose to his feet and walked towards Crystal.

“You are already awake?” Crystal was startled after hearing his words. “Yes. I can walk now.”

Xiao Tian rushed towards her before finally lifting and spinning her body. “Good! With this, we can get out of this forest soon.”

Crystal smiled softly when Xiao Tian suddenly spun her body. She was also delighted because, with this, they could get out of the forest soon.

‘Master, I will meet you soon.’

Crystal missed Yu Shi because she did not see her master for four days.

After Xiao Tian put her down, he uttered, “Let’s go to the elder’s house now.”

“Un.” Crystal nodded her head.

Crystal giggled cutely when Xiao Tian wanted to carry her again. She could walk now, so she did not want him to carry her like before.

“Xiao Tian, I can walk now.” Crystal uttered, “I want to go to the elder’s house on foot.”

“Are you sure?” Xiao Tian inquired.

“Yes.” She did not walk for four days, so it was a good opportunity to exercise her legs.

“I will help you.” Xiao Tian decided to help her walk because Crystal still could not walk properly.

They then went to Xing Hanxian’s house. All the way to Xing Hanxian’s house, Xiao Tian never let go of Crystal’s right hand even for a second.

He did this because he did not want her to fall. 

Xing Hanxian welcomed them with a smile when they arrived at his house. 

‘Hmm?’

He was a little startled when he saw Crystal walking.

All this time, Xiao Tian always carried her. Of course, Xing Hanxian was happy with this.

“Let’s eat first so that we will have a lot of energy to make a fence later.” unlike yesterday, Xing Hanxian let them eat first before working.

Xiao Tian and Crystal were pleasantly surprised by Xing Hanxian’s words. Of course, they accepted it happily because they did not eat anything before going to his house.

After eating, they began to make a fence. They decided to make a bamboo fence because there were many bamboo trees not far from Xing Hanxian’s house.

They didn’t split the bamboo into many small pieces because it would not be strong enough to protect them from wild beasts.

When it was lunch time, they stopped. 

Like yesterday, they ate happily again. They did not make a fence immediately after eating; instead, they talked for about thirty minutes.

They began making a fence again after that. After thinking for several minutes, they decided to cut down many bamboo trees and brought them to the backyard.

With this, it would be easier and faster for them to make a bamboo fence tomorrow.

“Let’s continue tomorrow.” It was already 04:00 pm, so Xing Hanxian told them to stop.

“Alright.” Xiao Tian and Crystal nodded their heads.

At the same time, five people were walking towards Xing Hanxian’s house. Of course, Xiao Tian and the others did not know about this.
