43: Chapter 43 Who is He Wenguang's secret crush?

Hearing this,

Li Fan couldn't help but nod.

This relationship is great!

He had just looted a bunch of stuff and managed to gain a favor as well.

The Shen Family of Beizhou.

Although he didn't know them very well, anyone established in Beizhou City should be a prominent family.

"Alright, if I run into trouble in the future, I'll go to the Shen Family to find you."

"But do you have any token? Don't let your Shen Family refuse to believe I saved you and kick me out."

Li Fan said.

He remained cautious.

Anyone could make empty promises!

He needed something concrete.

"Benefactor, you can just use my space ring. It has my unique mark on it. Anyone from the Shen Family will recognize it as mine immediately," the woman said calmly.

Li Fan nodded, unable to suppress his inner thoughts.

Judging by her tone, this woman was quite the young lady, someone who held sway in the Shen Family.

This was truly a profitable exchange!

Immediately after,

Li Fan resumed his training.

However, the woman didn't seem to have any intention of leaving; she remained where she was, staring blankly at Li Fan.

"What? Is something else wrong?" Li Fan frowned.

The woman immediately shook her head violently, appearing slightly hesitant: "Nothing else, it's just... could you please retrieve a bottle of healing medicine from my ring? In my current state, I doubt I can make it to the exit."

That was right.

Although the woman could stand and walk, her complexion was still extremely pale, and her body was abnormally weak.

Seeing this, Li Fan could only helplessly toss the space ring back to the woman.

The woman was very honest; she only took out one bottle of healing medicine and returned the ring to Li Fan.

But after the woman retrieved the medicine and walked a few steps, she surprisingly turned around and walked back.

"Um... can I borrow the tent for a while?"

Li Fan guessed that the healing medicine was for external use, so he readily agreed.

Ignoring the woman,

Li Fan continued his training on his own.

He didn't know how much time had passed.

Li Fan had already finished the first set of training and was preparing to eat some snake meat to replenish his energy.

While grilling the meat,

Li Fan also found the business card the woman had mentioned.

"Shen Xuner."

That was the woman's name.

The name sounded quite nice, but he hadn't really heard of it before.

Besides the business card,

Li Fan also examined the contents of the space ring.

At a glance, besides some supplements and auxiliary medicines scattered in the corner, the rest seemed to be miscellaneous items like clothes and express delivery boxes.

"Huge loss!"

Those two words immediately popped into Li Fan's mind!

No wonder Shen Xuner wanted to owe him a favor; there was truly nothing inside!

No good.

He had to find an opportunity to demand a hefty price from the Shen Family!

Just as Li Fan was feeling dejected,

Li Fan suddenly spotted some North Emperor University apparel among the pile of junk.

Could this person also be from North Emperor University?

Was she a senior student?

Just as Li Fan was spacing out, he discovered another pile of items in the clutter.

Looking closely, it turned out to be a large stack of love letters.

Li Fan wasn't too surprised by this.

With Shen Xuner's looks, it was expected that she would have many admirers; it would be surprising if she didn't.

Li Fan casually flipped through them and actually saw a familiar name.

"He Wenguang?!"

Good heavens!

Li Fan was extremely familiar with that name.

He never expected there would be a love letter from He Wenguang!

Wait!

It seemed like more than one!

Looking through the whole stack, there were actually dozens!

Li Fan truly hadn't expected that the person he casually saved would turn out to be He Wenguang's secret crush?!

Out of curiosity,

Li Fan roughly opened one to read.

It was better not to look. After reading only half of it,

Li Fan nearly spat out oil.

He never thought someone who looked as outwardly arrogant as He Wenguang could write such greasy prose.

However, he did feel a bit sorry for He Wenguang.

Because all of his love letters had remained unopened.

Clearly, Shen Xuner had no intention of reading them at all; she must have had zero interest in He Wenguang.

At this moment,

Li Fan suddenly remembered that Shen Xuner was apparently still in his tent?

He had gotten engrossed in his training and completely forgotten about Shen Xuner.

Thinking back,

Shen Xuner hadn't come out since she went in.

Li Fan immediately turned towards the tent and called out,

"Hey, are you done yet?"

After his voice faded, there was no response for a long time.

Li Fan tried calling out a few more times.

Still no response.

For a moment, Li Fan's brow furrowed, and he immediately got up and rushed into the tent.

Just as Li Fan guessed, Shen Xuner had fainted.

But what Li Fan hadn't expected was that what Shen Xuner was wearing... seemed to be very little.

It was probably because she needed to apply the medicine.

Li Fan paused, ultimately feeling that life was more important, and quickly helped Shen Xuner sit up.

But he wouldn't have known if he hadn't helped. After helping her up, he discovered.

There were two bite marks on Shen Xuner's back, deep enough to expose the bone!

This must have been the injury she sustained while fighting the giant snake.

The reason Shen Xuner fainted was likely because the pain of applying the medicine was too much to bear.

To be fair,

Sustaining such an injury and still being able to chat with him for so long showed extraordinary willpower.

Li Fan didn't have time to think much more.

He immediately began helping her apply medicine.

...

When Shen Xuner woke up, it was already nighttime.

Opening her eyes and sitting up, she looked at the bandaging marks on her body, and Shen Xuner couldn't help but cover her mouth.

She had already guessed.

Li Fan must have helped her bandage the wounds.

"Did he... see it?"

Shen Xuner's face flushed red, and her heart was in turmoil.

She only regretted her lack of willpower; she couldn't even endure that small amount of pain and ended up fainting disgracefully.

"You're awake?"

"Come out and eat something?"

At that moment, Li Fan's voice came from outside the tent.

She originally wanted to refuse, as she felt awkward facing Li Fan right now.

But at that moment, her stomach betrayed her and growled.

She had undergone two awakenings and transformations, meaning she could actually draw energy from the world to suppress hunger.

But she was severely injured now and unable to do so.

Therefore, going out to eat was her only option.

Walking out of the tent, Shen Xuner dared not look at Li Fan, timidly sitting down next to him and turning her head away.

Li Fan noticed Shen Xuner's strangeness and directly handed her a piece of meat.

"Don't feel awkward."

"We are both wanderers of the world; there's no need to be constrained by trivialities. Men and women are fundamentally the same, just dealing with different things. Here, eat something. Eat your fill, get a good night's sleep, and you can leave tomorrow."
