Hai Tang touched the back of her waist where the criminal had stabbed her with a dagger and found that there was only a little blood. The wound was not deep, so she shook her head and replied,ââIâm fine. You saved me. Thank you so much!â
âItâs nothing. Youâre smart. If you didnât call me hubby, I wouldnât have realized that you were in danger. âThe young man gave her a friendly smile and punched the struggling criminal in the face. He shouted, âBehave yourself!â
The criminalâs eyes rolled back and his limbs went limp. It was obvious that he had been beaten unconscious.
Only then did Hai Tang dare to walk to the young manâs side and explain to him, ââlâm sorry for offending you just now. I called you husband because he threatened me with a knife and asked me for cash. I had no choice but to lie to him. You happened to pass by, so I had no choice but to ask you for help.â
âI was wondering why I felt that I would be lucky tonight, so I came out to wander around. So it turns out that I saved an oriental beauty.âThe young man said cheerfully.
While waiting for the police to arrive, Hai Tang learned that the young man who had saved her was called Fa Xiu. He was here for a vacation and had come out on a motorbike at night to wander around. It was a coincidence that he had saved her.
The Dharma Cultivator was tall and had long legs. The loose sportswear on his body could not hide his well-built muscles. His eyes were deep and he had a very exotic style. Hai Tang guessed that he was not an ordinary person, but she tactfully did not ask about his identity.
Seeing the tied up criminal being escorted into the police car, Fa Xiu suddenly turned his head and asked Hai Tang,ââDonât you think my name sounds familiar?â
âNo, I havenât.â Hai Tang shook her head honestly. The number of foreigners she had met could be counted on one hand, let alone someone who shared the same name as a Dharma Cultivator.
Dharma Xiu smiled brightly and looked into her eyes.âBeautiful lady, you havenât told me your name.â
Hai Tang replied somewhat embarrassedly, âMy name is Hai Tang.â
â What a nice name,â Fa Xiu praised enthusiastically.â Youâre just like your name. Youâre like a beautiful flower. But I think your eyes are the most beautiful. Theyâre very moving.ââ
Hai Tang was not used to such straightforward praise, so she nodded politely.
Seeing Hai Tangâs awkward expression, Fa Xiu hurriedly explained, didnât mean to tease you. In our countryâs culture, we should always praise beautiful things and people.â
âI understand, Mr. Dharma Cultivator.â Hai Tang brushed her hair behind her ear and said tentatively, âââ I still donât know how to thank youâ¦â
If she hadnât encountered a Dharma Cultivator, she might have been hurt by the criminals, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
The Dharma Cultivator had saved her life, so she owed him a favor. Hai Tang was conflicted, not knowing how to repay this favor.
Pay? However, the way she dressed and talked about Fa Xiu did not seem like someone who lacked money. If she rashly offered to give him money, Fa Xiu might be angry.
If she wanted to repay him with something, Hai Tang was not sure what would be better.
Just as Hai Tang was in a dilemma, Fa Xiu waved his hand nonchalantly and said,ââNo need to thank me. This is what I should do.â
After saying that, he looked at his phone again and stepped onto the motorcycle. He looked at her and said, âItâs getting late. Hai Tang, do you need a ride home?â
âNo, thank you for your kindness.â Hai Tang hurriedly waved her hand and refused.
He had already done her a huge favor, so she couldnât ask the Dharma Cultivator to send her home again.
âAlright, then take care of yourself. Iâm leaving. Bye.âThe Mage put on his helmet and rode away on his motorcycle.
After finally settling everything and tidying up the messy shop, Hai Tang finally had the time to look at her phone and realized that Gu Yun had already sent her several messages.
[What are you busy with in the shop? Hai Yuan wanted me to play a game with him. He lost a few rounds and started to throw a tantrum.]
[Why isnât my wife replying to my messages? I miss you so much.]
[Is something the matter? I want to pick you up.]
The message Gu Yun sent ten minutes ago was: [Youâve been ignoring me for an hour. Iâm worried about you. Iâll pick you up at the shop.]
After reading the message, Hai Tang couldnât help but tighten her grip on her phoneâ¦n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
