Chapter 60 Wen Li Arrives
Pei Yu sat down in front of Wen Li, her posture elegant and composed.

It was Wen Li, the master, who was the one who was reserved.

Wen Li felt very embarrassed.

She was just being polite; she didn't expect Pei Yu to actually come.

...This guy is not polite at all.

Since everyone was already there, Wen Li felt awkward about kicking them out directly, so she could only bite the bullet and say, "I'll go get you some bowls and chopsticks."

Wen Li was glad that she had cooked a lot of fish soup, otherwise there wouldn't have been enough for the two of them to share.

"Thank you for your trouble," Pei Yu said politely.

He seems like a very polite person, but he's not polite at all, Wen Li thought.

She resigned herself to her fate and went to get the bowls and chopsticks.

Pei Yu sat at the stone table, still behaving politely.

Wen Li handed him the bowl and chopsticks, then lifted the lid.

The rich aroma wafted over, making Pei Yu's stomach rumble.

Pei Yu looked at the milky yellow fish soup in the stone pot and felt something was off.

This soup looks a little different from the one Bai Yanci ate; Bai Yanci's fish soup was milky white.

The fish soup in front of me is milky yellow, with some yellow vegetable leaves on top.

"What is this?" Pei Yu asked curiously.

Wen Li explained, "Sauerkraut fish."

After serving Bai Yanci the fish soup, Wen Li made herself a dish of pickled fish.

All of this is thanks to the system's seasoning.

After opening the gift pack last time, the system gave her a lot of things, including a seasoning packet for sauerkraut fish.

Wen Li didn't want to drink the bland fish soup, although it tasted good, she preferred something with a stronger flavor.

So she made sauerkraut fish.

Before we could even eat, Pei Yu arrived.

"It's a bit spicy," Wen Li reminded her. "You should be able to handle spicy food, right?"

Pei Yu nodded.

In fact, he didn't even know what spiciness tasted like. His usual diet was quite monotonous, consisting mostly of raw meat, raw meat, and more raw meat.

Occasionally, I'll treat myself to some fruit to improve my diet.

Life is that simple.

Seeing him nod, Wen Li assumed he could really handle spicy food and felt a little relieved.

This seasoning packet is on the spicy side, and Wen Li is someone who can handle spicy food. She hadn't had it in a long time, so she wanted to satisfy her craving.

Wen Li ladled out a large bowl and handed it to Pei Yu.

"Try it," Wen Li said with a smile.

Pei Yu's attention was completely drawn to the creamy yellow soup in front of her.

I stirred it with a spoon and could see the fish meat inside, which had turned white from being cooked.

It looks delicious.

The only thing he didn't understand was the yellow vegetable leaves floating on the surface of the soup. "What are these?"

Wen Li glanced at it and explained, "Pickled cabbage."

"Pickled cabbage?" Pei Yu murmured.

He had never eaten it before, but he carefully tasted it and found it to be a very strange flavor.

Wen Li didn't look at him again, but picked up her bowl of pickled fish soup and took small sips.

It tastes really good.

It has a perfect balance of sour and salty flavors, with a hint of spiciness.

Delicious!

Having not eaten spicy food for so long, Wen Li's lips quickly turned bright red from the spiciness of the sour soup.

Seeing how much she enjoyed eating, Pei Yu also started to try it.

I was completely won over by the sauerkraut fish soup in just two bites.

He took several large gulps of the drink, then closed his eyes contentedly.

"Did you make this too? It's delicious." Pei Yu praised Wen Li without reservation.

The sour soup in front of him was completely different from the one he had just drunk from Bai Yanci; this one had a stronger and more pungent flavor.

It's Pei Yu's favorite flavor.

His eyes shone.

Wen Li smiled shyly, "Thank you."

However, Pei Yu is someone who can't handle spicy food.

After a few sips, the spiciness gradually kicked in, and Pei Yu's lips became swollen, making her look pitiful.

"Are you alright?" Wen Li's gaze involuntarily fell on Pei Yu's bright red lips.

His lips were already very beautiful, with well-defined features and a perfect thickness.

After being swollen from the spiciness, it looked even better, like it had been coated with a layer of glossy chili red, giving it an indescribable sexiness.

"It's a little... spicy." Pei Yu's lips were slightly parted, her eyes brimming with tears.

It looks like it's going to make me cry from the spiciness.

Wen Li felt sorry for him when she saw this and said, "Wait here, I'll go get you some water."

Wen Li quickly brought over a glass of cool well water and handed it to Pei Yu, saying, "Drinking this will make you feel better."

Pei Yu nodded gently, "Okay, thank you."

He picked up the water glass and gulped down several mouthfuls until he finally caught his breath and put the glass down.

It was so spicy it was unbearable.

Pei Yu could normally tolerate the spiciness, but she accidentally bit into something and the intense spiciness started to spread.

It almost made him cry from the spiciness.

After drinking water and recovering, Pei Yu gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Wen Li glanced at his face, which was flushed red from the spiciness, and couldn't help but sigh twice before silently withdrawing her gaze.

Pei Yu is beautiful, but her reaction when she accidentally eats chili peppers is even more beautiful.

If it were her, her face would probably turn red, making her look like a monkey.

Even though he accidentally ate a spicy dish, Pei Yu couldn't resist the delicious food and forced himself to continue eating.

He only withdrew his hand contentedly when the fish soup was completely gone.

"Want to eat again?"

There was still quite a bit left in the stone pot, so Wen Li tried asking about it.

Pei Yu nodded vigorously.

Wen Li had no choice but to continue serving him.

And so, Pei Yu drank most of the fish soup in the stone pot.

After finishing her meal, Pei Yu volunteered to wash the dishes.

Wen Li didn't stand on ceremony with him and let him do it.

"The fish soup you cooked was delicious, thank you." Before leaving, Pei Yu suddenly said to Wen Li.

Wen Li looked at him and said politely, "You're welcome."

Pei Yu gave her a deep look, then turned around and muttered, "She's actually a pretty nice person."

After finishing her fish soup, Wen Li tidied up the small kitchen and then returned to her cave to rest.

In the afternoon, Zhu Yan and Xin Yuan returned, laden with their spoils.

The two seemed very happy to learn that Shen Yihe and Pei Yu had returned.

After putting my things down, I walked over.

The only thing that happened was something Wen Li didn't expect.

Pei Yu came to bring her something.

After the other person put it down, they simply said "Here you go" and turned to leave.

Wen Li didn't open it immediately; she was busy at the time and simply put it into her cave.

As a result, after finishing what they were doing, they forgot about it.

Several more days passed like this.

Shen Yihe and Pei Yu rarely come to Wen Li's place, nor do they come over for meals.

The two of them went hunting with Zhu Yan and Xin Yuan every day, leaving early and returning late.

Wen Li stayed at home taking care of Bai Yanci and treating him.

Bai Yanci's condition has almost fully recovered, and he can basically get out of bed and move around freely, but the toxins in his body have not been completely eliminated.

He cannot go hunting yet, as any strenuous activity would cause the toxin to spread more rapidly.

During the days that Wen Li was treating his injuries, the previously strained relationship between the two gradually improved. Perhaps it was because Wen Li had been behaving herself these past few days, not having any ulterior motives, and had even prepared a lot of food for him... In short, Bai Yanci's goodwill towards Wen Li grew rapidly.

It's much faster than I expected.

In addition, Pei Yu's original goodwill towards Wen Li-10 has been reset to zero.

Wen Li seemed to see herself walking towards a bright future.

Before we knew it, it was the last day of Bai Yanci's treatment.

Wen Li went to treat his illness as usual.

Bai Yanci had become accustomed to her coming in and was no longer as resistant as he had been at the beginning.

"You've arrived," Bai Yanci said calmly.

Wen Li nodded gently, "The wound."

Bai Yanci readily lifted his clothes to show his injured area, which was already eight or nine-tenths healed.

"It looks like you're almost better," Wen Li said. "After I finish treating you today, you should be completely healed."

Thanks to the opportunity to treat Bai Yanci, Wen Li felt her supernatural power increasing rapidly.

Making progress every day is a very good sign.

"Hmm." Bai Yanci's reaction was calm.

Wen Li used her supernatural ability, and a familiar ball of light appeared before her eyes.

She gently touched it, dispelling the impurities inside.

Previously, it required many taps, but now only a few taps are needed to completely eliminate the impurities.

With her fingertips pressing the last one, Wen Li said, "Done."

"All done?" Bai Yanci looked at her in surprise.

It seems like today's treatment was much faster than before; she had only been there for a short while.

Wen Li said, "Yes, it's all better now. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Bai Yanci carefully examined himself and then shook his head, "I don't feel uncomfortable."

Everything is fine, everything is normal.

Wen Li said, "Okay, that's good. It's all done."

Wen Li stood up, stretched, and muttered, "You'll be fully recovered after tomorrow, and I won't need to come over anymore."

Bai Yanci paused as he was about to raise his hand. "You really don't want to be with me?"

Wen Li's words made him quite uncomfortable.

"Oh, no," Wen Li quickly denied.

She didn't want to lose the goodwill she had worked so hard to build up.

"That's not what I meant. I was just thinking about your health. The fact that I didn't come means you're better soon enough!"

Wen Li didn't even know what she was saying, and started rambling nonsense.

Bai Yanci frowned slightly, feeling that something was off about what she said.

But I'm too lazy to dwell on it too much.

He quickly gleaned another key point from Wen Li's words: "You want me to get better soon?"

"What else?" Wen Li thought his words were utter nonsense. "If you get better, I won't need to come for treatment."

She spoke her mind directly.

That's true; each treatment is very mentally taxing. It's like attending a class—the physical pain isn't intense, but the mental anguish is excruciating.

After so many days of this, Wen Li just wanted to take a break and rest.

Bai Yanci's lips twitched.

Although I know Wen Li is telling the truth, it still feels so unsettling to me.

“And…” Wen Li added this sentence.

Bai Yanci looked up at her.

His face, which had been pale from his injury, became rosy and healthy after Wen Li's treatment and feeding over the past few days, and he looked full of energy.

"And what else?" Bai Yanci pressed.

Wen Li smiled and said, "Winter is almost here, so if you get better soon, you can go hunting with Zhu Yan and the others."

Bai Yanci couldn't laugh.

He was quite upset by Wen Li's words and turned away.

Wen Li didn't pay much attention, picked up her things, and said, "Then I'll go out first."

Before Bai Yanci could answer, Wen Li left the cave.

Just as he was about to go to the well to wash his hands, Meng Yu suddenly came over.

"Wen Li! Wen Li!"

Her voice carried from a great distance.

Wen Li paused in washing her hands and looked over at Meng Yu, only to see her running towards her in a hurry.

"What's wrong?" Wen Li went to greet her.

"There's something I'd like to ask you for help with..." Meng Yu gasped for breath, clinging to Wen Li's shoulder.

Wen Li quickly helped her up, "What's wrong? Tell me."

Meng Yu took a deep breath and said, "That's right, do you remember the female who lived next door to me?"

Wen Li thought for a moment, and vaguely remembered it.

"Did something happen to her?" Wen Li asked.

Meng Yu nodded and explained:

“Her son went to the back mountain yesterday, and when he came back he was dizzy. We don’t know what happened.”

"The witch doctor can't do anything either, I hope you can go and take a look."

Wen Li said, "Let's go."

Meng Yu realized that her situation was understandable.

However, Wen Li had something she was curious about: "Didn't An Yuan go?"

Recently, news of An Yuan's healing abilities spread throughout the tribe, and many males came to her door seeking marriage.

An Yuan became a big star in the tribe. Even the shaman and the tribal chief praised her highly and said they wanted to marry their sons to her.

An Yuan enjoyed immense fame and fortune for a time.

Even though Wen Li was busy treating Bai Yanci's injuries and had no time to listen to what was going on outside, she still heard some news.

Logically speaking, if even a witch doctor can't solve the illness, they should go to An Yuan. Why did they go to her?
When An Yuan was mentioned, Meng Yu remained the same as always, unwilling to bring her up, her expression showing strong resistance.

“She’s gone,” Meng Yu said dryly.

"You went there? Was it not cured?" Wen Li asked.

Meng Yu nodded, "Yes, I don't know what's wrong with her healing ability, it works sometimes and it doesn't work today."

“When I first said I wanted to ask you to come over, she didn’t agree, saying she could heal him with her own healing abilities. But she’s still not awake after all this trouble.”

Finally, Meng Yu couldn't stand it anymore and came directly to find Wen Li.

If this continues, the person will die soon.

The two talked as they walked.

A sound of footsteps behind her made Wen Li turn around instinctively.

Upon closer inspection, they discovered that Bai Yanci had also followed.

"How did you get here?" Wen Li asked in surprise.

“I’ll go with you,” Bai Yanci said. “It’s dangerous for you to go out alone.”

Wen Li was about to say "no need" when Meng Yu suddenly tugged at her and frantically winked at her.

"Let's go, let's go together. Don't talk yet, we'll talk when we get there," Meng Yu said quickly.

She pulled Wen Li along and ran forward.

On the way, he couldn't resist teasing her, "Wen Li, you've snagged another one?"

Wen Li shook her head. "How could that be?"

The three of them hurried to Meng Yu's neighbor's house.

The other party was a female who was a full twelve years older than Wen Li and Meng Yu, and was also the tribe chief's sister.

The sound of crying came in waves from the direction of the cave.

As the two got closer, they discovered that there were indeed many people gathered there, including the tribal chief.

Wen Li spotted An Yuan immediately, her face filled with self-reproach. She choked back tears and said, "It's all my fault. I wasn't capable enough to save Brother Jiang."

Wen Li subconsciously glanced in Bai Yanci's direction.

The other person didn't look at An Yuan, but was staring blankly in the direction of the cave.

Meng Yu, who was standing to the side, pushed through the crowd.

"Make way, make way, Wen Li is here."
