Chapter 1084: Chapter 264: Zhao Ya: Does This Count as Kissing Him? (Part 3)
Zhao Ya looked at Chen Jie with stars in her eyes, feeling so warm.
Of course, she didn’t yet know what a ‘warm guy’ was, otherwise, she would have definitely complimented Chen Jie, saying, “What a warm guy you are!”
After Chen Jie finished roasting the gecko, he handed it to Zhao Ya and said, “Hmm, eat it while it’s hot.”
Zhao Ya, moved, said, “Thank you.”
Chen Jie replied, “Hmm, you’re welcome, aren’t we friends?”
Saying this, Chen Jie leaned against the cave wall, watching Zhao Ya as she brought the fragrant gecko close to her face. She tore off a strip of meat, furrowing her brows, wearing a ‘going on a brave mission’ expression as she prepared to put it into her mouth.
But just then, she suddenly looked up and saw Chen Jie leaning against the cliff, holding a meat bun in his hand, eating it.
Hmm?!!
Zhao Ya glared and pointed at the meat bun in Chen Jie’s hand, saying, “What, what’s in your hand?”
Zhao Ya was stunned, looking at the meat bun in her hand, she said, “Hmm? A meat bun, pork and green onion.”
Zhao Ya was immediately infuriated and said angrily, “You have buns, why are you making me eat four-legged snake meat!”
Chen Jie looked innocent and said, “Hmm? Commandery Princess, weren’t you trying to improve your diet with some wild game!”
“Go to hell!”
The Commandery Princess, in her anger, directly threw the roasted gecko at Chen Jie. He caught it with his hand and then saw Zhao Ya stretch out her hand and say, “Where did it come from.”
Chen Jie said, “What?”
“Bun.”
“Oh!”
Chen Jie directly handed the half-eaten bun to Zhao Ya. Looking at the bun in her hand, Zhao Ya looked a bit conflicted. It was her first time eating something that someone else had already bitten into.
Having lived a life of luxury, she had never done such a thing before.
Moreover, this bun had been eaten by a man. Eating the bun he had eaten, isn’t this similar to an indirect kiss!
This, this is too… impolite!
But then again, it is a fluffy big bun after all.
Having a bun to eat is certainly better than eating gecko meat, Zhao Ya thought, as she looked at the half bun in her hand. After hesitating for a moment, she still took a bite, not caring anymore whether there was any saliva left by Chen Jie on it.
It was delicious!
After overcoming her psychological hurdle, Zhao Ya found that she was very receptive to eating the bun, enjoying it quite wonderfully.
This bun is really tasty, truly delicious.
Thinking this, she looked at Chen Jie again and saw that he had actually taken out another unbitten bun, ready to eat.
“Wait!”
Zhao Ya was immediately angry, pointing at Chen Jie, saying, “What are you doing?”
Chen Jie said, “I’m hungry and having a bun, what’s wrong?”
Zhao Ya pointed at the bun in her hand and then at the bun in Chen Jie’s hand, saying, “Why didn’t you give me the unbitten one to eat?”
“You didn’t say so?”
“You…”
Zhao Ya was fuming.
Chen Jie, unhurriedly, said, “When you pointed at me, I thought you wanted the one in my hand.”
Zhao Ya was almost on the verge of tears as she snatched all the buns from Chen Jie’s hand, looking at him, saying, “Are there any more buns?”
Chen Jie said, “No more.”
Zhao Ya said, “You eat four-legged snake meat.”
Chen Jie said, “Oh.”
Immediately, Chen Jie responded and then put the four-legged snake back over the fire, roasting it again, and took out a small packet of fine salt from his pocket, sprinkling it evenly over the four-legged snake meat.
As the four-legged snake meat sizzled and oozed oil, Chen Jie took out the Chrysalis Blade and cut off a small piece.
“Hmm, not bad, tastes like chicken.”
Zhao Ya stood there in shock, watching Chen Jie, and said, “Why didn’t you sprinkle salt when you gave it to me just now?”
Chen Jie said, “I thought you liked it au naturel.”
Zhao Ya was speechless, at the absurdity. But through this playful exchange, Zhao Ya was able to vent her earlier fears, helplessness, and some negative emotions.
At this moment, holding the bun, she stuffed it into her mouth as if the bun were the damn Chen Jiu Si.
Bite you, bite you to death!
Oops~
Having eaten too fiercely, Zhao Ya ended up choking, her little face turning bright red. Seeing this, Chen Jie casually handed over a Water Gourd.
Zhao Ya grabbed the Water Gourd and took a few vigorous gulps.
Finally, she swallowed the bun she had in her mouth.
Meanwhile, Chen Jie was happily eating the four-legged snake in his hand, finding the flavor of the gecko actually not bad, especially with salt and spices sprinkled on it.
Consider it a wild game.
Of course, eating it as boldly raw as Zhao Ya attempted would have been quite terrifying.
Zhao Ya swallowed the bun and immediately felt a sense of security. When hungry, one tends to feel anxious, but after eating, the heart feels much better.
At this moment, Zhao Ya felt a sense of tranquility, looking at Chen Jie and saying, “Chen Jiu Si, how come your body is like a small warehouse, able to hold so many things?”
Chen Jie laughed, “Haha, Commandery Princess, don’t you bring things with you when you go out?”
Zhao Ya replied, “Even if I do, not this many.”
Chen Jie just smiled without saying anything.
At this point, Chen Jie felt around his pocket and found that he had given all his Detoxification Pills to Xiao Hu, carrying none with him, so he couldn’t help Zhao Ya clear the toxins.
He decided to find an opportunity to refine a batch of Detoxification Pills.
Chen Jie thought, then looked at Zhao Ya and asked, “Commandery Princess, how did you end up in this cave?”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ya shared her story.
It was quite convoluted. After escaping from the Prince Mansion, she disguised herself all the way, hiding from the Prince Mansion’s people while heading towards the Xiangxi Region. Midway, she used a post station to send an urgent message to Chen Jie.
After arriving in Xiangxi Region, she encountered a shady inn, and then got swindled.
After being swindled, she was captured and brought here.
Then Ah Da and the others were separated from her, unwilling to accept it, she argued with Turand.
Turand, wanting to make an example out of her, kicked her off the cliff.
