Chapter 1226: Unforgivable
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Xu Fan was utterly exhausted. After passing out drunk, he slept for three days and nights straight. In the end, it was Xia Xiaodie, who had stayed by his side, who got scared, and repeatedly shook Xu Fan to finally wake him up.
After waking up, Xu Fan felt an almost unbearable hunger, like he could eat an entire cow!
Xia Xiaodie initially planned to cook some of her specialty dishes for Xu Fan, but Xu Fan couldn't wait any longer. He dragged Xia Xiaodie to a nearby small restaurant. Under the restaurant owner's horrified gaze, Xu Fan piled up empty bowls on the table two to three meters high before he was finally satisfied with a burp.
In fact, Xu Fan still wanted a few more bowls, but the restaurant owner refused to sell him any more noodles and was already on the verge of breaking down, candidly telling Xu Fan that if he kept eating, he'd have to call the police!
Xu Fan found it both funny and exasperating, so he had to stop.
For a cultivator, this amount of food is nothing, but few cultivators can create such a shocking scene while eating. Food, for cultivators, is just to satisfy a craving.
Xu Fan had been starving for three days and nights and had repeatedly exhausted his spiritual power, overspending his physical strength. The noodles, ten dollars a bowl, ended up costing him over three hundred dollars!
Next to him, Xia Xiaodie, gazing at Xu Fan, smiled blissfully.
Ever since Xia Xiaodie woke up, she spent her days just watching Xu Fan with a foolish grin, filled with happiness.
Once, Xia Xiaodie had fallen into despair, and Xu Fan also once thought he was certain to die. Yet now, fate had miraculously brought them back together, hand in hand, standing freely.
Every minute is a gift from heaven, every second worth cherishing.
Holding Xia Xiaodie's small hand, Xu Fan left a carefree and untamed figure and a pile two to three meters high of empty bowls in the restaurant owner's shock-filled eyes.
From sunrise to sunset, Xu Fan spent almost the entire day with Xia Xiaodie.
The park, amusement park, every place was filled with Xia Xiaodie's cheerful laughter, and watching Xia Xiaodie's smiling face, Xu Fan's face was also filled with joy.
Xia Xiaodie had made too many sacrifices for Xu Fan, being alone in the Huang Family mansion, and just imagining her inner agony made Xu Fan feel heartbroken.
So, Xu Fan wanted to use all his time, in the gentlest way, to heal Xia Xiaodie's inner wounds.
"Xu Fan, thank you."
On the stone bench in the park, Xia Xiaodie, with her eyes closed, rested on Xu Fan's chest, her voice light and airy.
Xu Fan's mouth curled into a smile, reaching out to wrap his arm around Xia Xiaodie's small waist, holding her tightly in his embrace.
The soft sunlight fell on them, creating a beautiful scene. Passersby, glancing at them with kindness, unconsciously lightened their steps, afraid of breaking this picture-perfect moment.
Nevertheless, a voice abruptly interrupted this moment.
"Are you Xu Fan?"
The voice carried arrogance and a strange hostility.
Xia Xiaodie seemed too tired, having fallen asleep lightly leaning on Xu Fan. She seemed to hear the voice, her fairy-like eyes flickering slightly, but didn't open.
Xu Fan gently held Xia Xiaodie, carefully leaned her against the back of the bench, moving slowly, afraid of waking the woman of his dreams.
And that voice, seemingly impatient for not receiving an answer, sounded increasingly irritated, "Boy! Our Liu Young Master is talking to you! Are you mute?"
There were apparently several visitors...
Seeing that Xia Xiaodie hadn't woken up, Xu Fan sighed in relief, stood up gently, turned to face the direction of the voices, his eyes cold and sharp.
"Boy! You dare glare at me! Believe it or not, I'll slap you..."
There were six of them, all young. Speaking was a boastful young man, only at the late stage of the Entering Dao Realm, yet his face was supremely arrogant.
"Wei, step aside."
A tall, burly young man, surrounded by others like stars around the moon, waved his hand, interrupting the young man who had spoken rudely to Xu Fan. This man had an indifferent expression but exuded an aura of pride.
That pride wasn't on his face but seemed ingrained in his bones, evident in every word and action.
"So, you're Xu Fan? I'm Liu Tianle. I heard you're quite capable. From now on, you're part of the Liu Family."
It seemed like they wanted to recruit Xu Fan into some faction, but their attitude was condescending.
Xu Fan looked at Liu Tianle, angered to the point of laughing, "Oh? How did I suddenly become part of your Liu Family?"
Now, Liu Tianle seemed genuinely surprised, "You don't want to?"
Evidently, Liu Tianle thought Xu Fan should be grateful, kneeling to thank him.
Xu Fan shook his head, coldly spitting out two words, "Idiot!"
As soon as Xu Fan spoke, the five young men beside Liu Tianle all showed expressions of anger.
"Are you tired of living, boy, daring to insult our Young Master Liu?"
However, Liu Tianle seemed as if he had never heard such words before, first stunned for a moment, then becoming furious.
"Are you insulting me?"
Xu Fan looked at Liu Tianle, who asked such an idiotic question as if he was mentally challenged, speechless.
"Don't misunderstand, I'm obviously not insulting you." Xu Fan's mouth curled up with a cold smile.
Liu Tianle thought Xu Fan was scared, giving him a cold glance, "Kneel and apologize, and I'll pretend this never happened."
Xu Fan shook his head, looking at Liu Tianle with eyes full of sympathy for the dim-witted, "I'm saying all of you are idiots!"
Originally, Xu Fan was in a great mood. If these young people had just come to invite him politely, even if he refused, he wouldn't hold a grudge.
But they came with an arrogant air, speaking as if offering charity, and Xu Fan certainly wouldn't be polite to them.
What angered Xu Fan most was that they almost woke Xia Xiaodie from her sleep. Just for that, they were unforgivable!
