Chapter 58 - 58 Entrust
Chapter 58: Chapter 58 Entrust
Shi Hao decided it was time to get down to business and said, “Let me describe the body shape of the female assailant for you, so if you see someone with a similar figure in the future, you can pay attention.”
Seeing paper and pen on the table beside him, he began to draw.
There was no need to draw the face since he hadn’t seen it; he just outlined the proportions of the body.
Well, big, big, big.
Lin Yuyue watched, taking a sharp breath. Was there really a woman with such a hot figure?
Although her figure was perfect, it was a completely different type to this one, like radishes and greens, each excelling in their way and liked by different people.
Are you deliberately teasing me?
Lin Yuyue couldn’t help but glance at Shi Hao, only to see his face calm and incredibly focused.
Alright, you’re serious.
Lin Yuyue was speechless. Since she was fourteen, countless men had flocked around her, some even pretending to be indifferent, hoping to catch her attention inversely.
But why would she care?
However, Shi Hao was entirely different.
This young man was genuinely not thinking in that direction, his eyes so clear it made her heart flutter.
This good-looking youth who could make one’s heart melt at a glance was also an adorably clueless man.
Perhaps she should mold him into a gentle and considerate handsome gentleman?
As this thought crossed her mind, Lin Yuyue’s face flushed red, and she silently chastised herself for such “terrible” thoughts.
She was pure as ice and had high self-esteem, believing no man was worthy of her. How could she be enchanted by a sixteen-year-old boy?
Ha-ha, that’s really funny! @@novelbin@@
But still, this boy really was good-looking!
Pfft, stop!
Lin Yuyue coughed to steady the mood.
“Oh, Senior Sister Lin, your face is all red,” Shi Hao said. “Do you want me to take your pulse for you?”
He had inherited Yuan Chengmie’s medical skills, and throughout the Hua Yuan Nation, guaranteed no one could surpass him.
What?
Lin Yuyue felt even more embarrassed, her own wandering thoughts caught red-handed.
Seeing her silent, Shi Hao thought she agreed and reached over to take her pulse.
The moment their hands touched, Lin Yuyue felt her heart thumping as if it was about to leap out of her throat, and sweat started to form.
Shi Hao, on the other hand, was utterly oblivious, his expression turning curious, “Senior Sister Lin’s pulse is extremely fast, and her body temperature is high, yet she seems very healthy, tsk, how strange!”
What’s strange? I’m not sick!
Lin Yuyue complained in her heart, feeling that he was quite the foolish man.
“I’m fine,” she said, withdrawing her hand.
It seems indeed nothing is wrong.
Shi Hao nodded and said, “Then let’s get back to the matter at hand.”
The… the matter at hand?
So all this time before was you playing around?
Lin Yuyue bit her red lip and asked, “What’s the matter at hand?”
“I’m going to the Imperial Capital next. As you know, Senior Sister Lin, no matter where I go, I’m bound to get into trouble,” Shi Hao said.
Well, it’s rare that you’re aware of that.
At this thought, Lin Yuyue couldn’t help wanting to facepalm. What was she doing, turning into the Queen of Snark?
Shi Hao then said, “So, I’d like to ask Senior Sister to take care of Bai Hua for a while.”
What?
Bai Hua was startled, never expecting the matter to catch up to her, and she quickly shook her head: “Daddy, don’t sell me!”
“Who’s selling you!” Shi Hao laughed, “You don’t even look at yourself, skinny as a rail, even if I wanted to, I couldn’t sell you.”
“Hmph, I’ve sold myself to bury my father seven times!” the little girl said proudly, and she even held up seven fingers to emphasize.
What’s there to be proud of?
Shi Hao patted Bai Hua’s head: “Listen to me, this Senior Sister is Lin Yuyue, her family owns a pharmacy, they’ve got so much money you can’t even count it all, from now on, you’ll be able to eat whatever you want.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Hua’s eyes instantly lit up.
“Sister, buy me please!” The little girl knelt down to Lin Yuyue, “I’m so pitiful, ah, Daddy’s dead, no money for the funeral…”
She was too smooth with her act, words flowing effortlessly.
Shi Hao immediately had a full head of ‘black lines’, wondering if any father had been driven to death by her antics.
Lin Yuyue couldn’t help but laugh and cry, but having one more person to take care of was just another pair of chopsticks to her, and besides, Shi Hao still had a large share of Hemostatic Powder at her place, so she wasn’t worried about him abandoning the little girl.
“Okay, I’ll take care of her for the time being.” She nodded.
Shi Hao suddenly came to his senses and asked Bai Hua, “Why is she ‘Sister’, but you insist on calling me ‘Daddy’?”
Was he really that old?
“Because Sister is pretty,” Bai Hua said innocently, delivering a solid compliment.
Sure enough, Lin Yuyue was very pleased, finding the little girl smart and clever, which made her happy.
“By the way, this girl has a big appetite, remember to prepare extra food for her,” Shi Hao reminded.
Lin Yuyue didn’t think much of it, how much could such a small girl eat after all?
“Alright, then I’m off,” Shi Hao said.
“Safe travels, Daddy.” Bai Hua immediately waved goodbye.
You traitor, betraying me so quickly.
Having left the inn, Shi Hao returned to his place. That night, Chu Fei suddenly paid a visit.
“Young Master Shi!” This time, Chu Fei was even more courteous.
He had already esteemed Shi Hao highly, but he had never imagined that the latter was actually a Martial Sect.
What did that signify?
Shi Hao could sit on equal terms with Chu Wei, and even if he went to the Imperial Capital, he could stand tall, not needing to bow before anyone.
In the presence of such a person, Chu Fei needed to maintain utmost respect.
Shi Hao nodded, “What brings you here?”
“My father invites you to join tomorrow’s spring hunt,” Chu Fei said, hands hanging by his sides, body slightly bowed, the expression as respectful as if facing his own father.
Shi Hao thought it over, a Martial Sect suddenly emerging within his jurisdiction was bound to demand a meeting with Chu Wei at the very least.
Well, alright then.
Shi Hao had a good impression of Chu Fei, and after all, it was his territory, so as long as he kept things polite, Shi Hao didn’t mind granting him the courtesy.
The next day, after completing his practice, Shi Hao’s strength had soared to 95,000 jin, but he was met with some bad news.
The Spirit Stones… they were gone.
Now, it was just an ordinary stone, void of even a trace of energy.
With that, Shi Hao’s increase in strength would have to drop back down to 2,000 jin a day.
“Where could I get more Spirit Stones?” Shi Hao worried.
After fretting for a while, Shi Hao set off to take part in the spring hunt, and as for the fatty, well, he might as well bring him along; after all, nobody said he couldn’t.
What do you think?
