Chapter 73

Arriving in the room.

As usual, Ailuka placed Luolin on the bed. This time she had also requested bandages from the front desk, so she didn't need to tear clothing directly for bandaging anymore.

However, seeing Luolin's persistent staring gaze, Ailuka felt somewhat displeased and suddenly threw down what she was holding.

"Look, look, look, what are you looking at? Bandage yourself!"

Ailuka said, turning her head away. Luolin tried to move his arm, but ultimately could only smile bitterly and lie back down.

"Ailuka, stop fooling around. I really don't have any strength right now."

Luolin was quite helpless. He felt he had almost reached his limit.

Right now he just wanted to rest properly for a while.

However, if Ailuka continued like this, she felt she would lose face, so she stubbornly remained there without speaking.

Luolin sighed and said. Ailuka finally picked up the bandages again.

"You plan to bleed to death?"

Ailuka rolled her eyes at Luolin.

"It's fine if you die, but don't drag me down with you. Otherwise people will think I killed you."

As Ailuka spoke, she lifted Luolin's scarred arm.

"Just consider this repayment for when you saved me back then. Don't misunderstand."

Ailuka didn't forget to emphasize this. Luolin could only nod.

"I know, I know."

Luolin didn't want to argue with Ailuka right now, and moreover, he simply didn't have the strength to argue. Whatever she said it was, that's what it was. Luolin didn't have the time or energy to care about so much anymore.

Looking at the shocking wounds on Luolin's body, Ailuka felt her eyelids twitching.

A feeling of irritation kept circling in her heart, making her inexplicably agitated.

"What exactly did you do there? What did that woman do to you?"

Ailuka asked in confusion, unconsciously applying more force with her hands.

"Ah ah ah ah... it hurts, Ailuka, be a little more careful, I'm a patient right now."

Luolin said.

Only then did Ailuka come back to her senses. She quickly let go, but Luolin's arm also heavily crashed onto the bed board as a result.

"Hiss..."

Luolin couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

"Sorry..."

It must be said, Ailuka really wasn't good at taking care of people. However, this was normal, as she originally never did this kind of thing.

"Looks like you really don't know how to take care of patients."

"An...annoying! I originally never needed to do this kind of thing. You're still the first..."

Ailuka immediately shook her head.

"Don't change the subject. You still haven't answered me. What exactly were you doing? What conditions did that person propose?"

Ailuka pressed on. She had originally intended to get to the bottom of this tonight, but seeing Luolin in an even more miserable state than last time, the harsh words on the tip of her tongue lost their force.

Luolin shook his head.

"I can't say."

Luolin said to Ailuka. Ailuka's expression changed several times, then she turned her head away with a huff.

"Hmph, if you won't say then forget it. I don't care whether you live or die."

"It's not that I don't trust you."

But Luolin was also helpless, and he continued to shake his head.

"This is also part of the agreement between her and me. She told me I can't tell anyone except you, otherwise this agreement will be considered void, and we won't be able to get the money."

Luolin said.

"Although this indeed isn't ideal, I think at least it's more reliable than us directly robbing the marketplace."

Luolin continued, and Ailuka fell silent without saying anything.

Another night slowly passed, and when Luolin opened his eyes and woke up, it was already morning. He forced his brain to become more alert, then sat up.

This movement made him feel some pressure, though not because of his body, but because Ailuka was lying on the bed, pressing right on his legs.

"This girl..."

Luolin looked at Ailuka who had already fallen asleep and carefully extracted his legs.

Before leaving, Luolin stared at Ailuka in a daze for a moment, and on a whim, he reached out his hand and stroked the top of Ailuka's head twice.

"There's usually no opportunity like this."

Luolin also smiled, after all, Ailuka was a girl with monstrous strength. If he did this normally, his hand could probably be torn off by her.

But at this moment, Ailuka was sleeping peacefully, completely unaware that she had just received a head pat from Luolin.

Luolin took a deep breath, then temporarily set aside these distracting thoughts. There were only a few days left, and if he couldn't satisfy Xixizi, he definitely wouldn't be able to get the money.

Since he had already chosen this path, he should at least see it through to the end.

Luolin straightened his body and left the tavern room, though he did renew the room fee so that Ailuka could continue sleeping inside.

After some time, Ailuka also woke up. She looked at the now empty room before her in a daze for a while, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and stood up.

Without a doubt, Luolin had already left.

Ailuka also clenched her fists. She always felt inexplicably irritated, but couldn't find the source, which made her very uncomfortable.

"That idiot..."
