Chapter 159 You're So Weak

Wang Hui thought to himself.

The reason why he appeared in a young woman's bedroom was definitely because some accident had occurred while he was teleporting alongside Xiao Zi.

Not only had he eaten someone's leftover instant noodles, but he had also pulled off the stunt of pairing instant noodle seasoning with an apple peel from her trash can.

Truth be told, that apple peel seasoned with instant noodle flavor was genuinely delicious.

No, wait, now was not the time to be dwelling on that; he should be figuring out how to bluff his way through this situation, shouldn't he?

He couldn't sense even a shred of his energy right now. If he ended up attracting the police or authorities of this world at a time like this, wouldn't he be completely doomed?

Who would have thought that after he played the fool, the beautiful girl would show a look of pure curiosity, opening her eyes wide and staring intently at Wang Hui, making him feel thoroughly uncomfortable all over.

In the end, Wang Hui simply cast his gaze aside and chose to ignore everything.

"Hahaha, I thought you were genuinely out of your mind? Turns out you were just faking it?"

Seeing that his acting had been exposed and the other party didn't seem displeased at all, he laughed along with her: "Hahaha, I wonder what this little younger sister's honorable name might be?"

"Little younger sister?" Upon hearing this form of address, Liu Anqian laughed again, "How old are you anyway? Calling me little younger sister?"

Wang Hui glanced at Liu Anqian and estimated her to be around seventeen or eighteen years old, roughly the same age as himself. Calling her younger sister was purely a habit of polite address formed back in the horror realm.

Hearing her question, he shamelessly replied: "I'm twenty-five. I just happen to have maintained my youth well."

Who would have thought that upon hearing this, Liu Anqian wouldn't look shocked or anything of the sort, but instead merely nodded: "If you really are twenty-five, then I'm almost seventy already, old enough to be your grandmother. Do you really think it's appropriate to call me younger sister?"

Wang Hui almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Sixty years old?

Was she really taking him for an idiot?

Before he could fully recover from his shock, her next sentence left him even more dumbfounded: "Oh right, what is your cultivation level? Why did you appear in the sky that day?"

Hearing her question, Wang Hui's brain went into overdrive. Although it was a simple question, he had already analyzed two key points from it.

First, the other party asked about his cultivation level.

What kind of word was cultivation?

That was the kind of terminology used to describe power levels in the fantasy novels he used to read.

In other words, supernatural human beings existed in this world, and their strength was unknown.

However, no matter what, these immortal cultivators should be vastly more powerful than him, a mere mortal realm representative of a deity, right?

Thinking of this, his sense of crisis instantly skyrocketed. Forget about whether he had any energy right now; even if he did, he wouldn't stand a chance against these immortal cultivators.

Secondly, he hadn't crossed over here directly from the start; he must have arrived high up in the sky, which fit the classic trope of a transmigrator perfectly.

Moreover, he had been completely unconscious at the time and had fallen from the heavens—surviving the fall without being dashed to pieces was already a miracle. Therefore, it was somewhat forgivable that this sixty-something-year-old maiden thought he was an immortal cultivator as well.

Furthermore, if all the above deductions were correct, didn't that mean half his life had been saved by this woman?

To gain a better understanding of this world, he intended to have a good chat with her.

Yet, seeing him remain silent all this time, she assumed he didn't want to answer and could only shake her head: "Since you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. I'll go get you something to eat, stop eating things out of the trash can."

Although this Wang Hui was extremely bizarre and possessed many aspects she couldn't fathom, one thing she was certain of: right now, there wasn't the slightest fluctuation of spiritual energy coming from him.

This meant that he was currently nothing more than an ordinary mortal, at best possessing a slightly better physical constitution than average people. Such a person certainly posed no threat to her whatsoever.

Besides, he was her savior; if not for him, she probably would have been dead long ago.

Furthermore, the reason he appeared in the sky, lost all spiritual energy after falling, and ended up covered in injuries with a bunch of strange, never-before-seen energies was clear.

It wasn't hard to imagine that, just like her, he must have been hunted down by pursuers and used some desperate, self-harming technique at the critical moment to escape from them.

If she were to kick him out now, he would have zero self-preservation ability, and stepping outside would undoubtedly mean certain death.

Here, at least she had a special concealment formation that hid spiritual energy, which could temporarily shelter them both. It could also be considered repaying Wang Hui for saving her life.

Seeing that Wang Hui didn't show any intention of refusing, she prepared to leave. Just before departing, she asked: "Right, what is your name?"

"My name is Wang Hui."

"Very well, I am Liu Anqian."

When Liu Anqian stated her name, she deliberately paused for a moment, expecting to see some sort of reaction from Wang Hui, only to find that Wang Hui remained completely unfazed. In fact, feeling her gaze was somewhat odd, he simply remarked:

"Your name is quite nice too."

This left Liu Anqian somewhat puzzled. Was there actually anyone across the entire continent who didn't know her name?

And she had never heard the name Wang Hui before either.

Judging by the fact that Wang Hui had fallen from a height of ten thousand meters the other day, suffered severe injuries, smashed such a massive crater, and yet survived, his strength was undoubtedly formidable.

Yet she was familiar with virtually all the geniuses who were this young and possessed such terrifying strength, or at least had seen their portraits. Why didn't she have the slightest impression of this Wang Hui?

Combined with the fact that Wang Hui showed no reaction whatsoever upon hearing her name, could it be that he came from some reclusive aristocratic family?

Come to think of it, did reclusive families really exist these days?

Shaking her head, she decided not to dwell on it anymore and prepared to go find some food for Wang Hui.

"Stop rummaging through the trash can for food. I'm going out to get you something proper to eat."

With that, she left.

The very instant she stepped away, Wang Hui turned his gaze back to the trash can.

"You don't want me to rummage? Watch me do it anyway."

And with that, he resumed eating his exclusive delicacy of instant noodle seasoning paired with apple peels.

After a short while, he felt capable of sensing the fear stemming from the oceans and deserts of this world. The amount of fear he sensed here was even greater than what he had experienced in the horror realm.

Gradually, he sat straight down on the floor, wholeheartedly immersing himself in the energy between heaven and earth, and began utilizing the energy harvested from fear to heal his wounds.

Time ticked away, and the injuries on his body healed at a visible, naked-eye pace. In just over an hour, his wounds were practically fully mended.

Next came the restoration of his depleted energy.

At this moment, surrounding his powerful soul, the primordial forces belonging to the God of the Desert and the God of the Ocean began to revolve in orbit, signifying that his power was recovering bit by bit.

These energies flowed through his blood vessels across his entire body, bringing an intense wave of comfort. Although the process wasn't particularly rapid in terms of objective time, in his subjective perception, it felt remarkably fast.

When he finally snapped out of his trance and opened his eyes, he was met with Liu Anqian's pair of wide, shock-filled eyes.

At that precise moment, he was finally able to perceive the aura radiating from Liu Anqian, prompting him to blurt out: "You're so weak!"
