Good Girl, Don't Cry. I'll Take Responsibility, Okay?

Qin Hao went out and came back with some ingredients. By then, it was almost evening.

As usual, Qin Hao started a fire and began cooking.

He stir-fried vegetables, stewed meat, and prepared bear paws.

This time, there was another dish: "Tiger penis"!

Liu Qianqian had finished refining the Green Poison Python's Monster Core, and the poison in her body was almost completely gone.

But she hadn't eaten in so long that her blood sugar was a little low from hunger.

Just then, the aroma of Qin Hao's cooking wafted up to her, instantly perking her up.

She even started drooling.

Qin Hao's cooking was incredibly delicious. Liu Qianqian had no idea how he had developed such cooking skills.

Before long, after just twenty-five minutes, Qin Hao finished cooking.

He brought the food into the little wooden cabin. This time, Liu Qianqian hadn't waited for Qin Hao to call her; she was already sitting at the table.

"All right, let's—"

Before Qin Hao could finish, Liu Qianqian had already grabbed a wolf leg and started wolfing it down.

Qin Hao was stunned.

How long has this girl gone without eating? Don't tell me she hasn't eaten anything since she left me?

Qin Hao smiled and shook his head, then sat down opposite her and began enjoying the food he'd made.

Liu Qianqian suddenly asked, "Qin Hao, why does your cooking taste so good?"

Qin Hao paused for a moment, then said, "Ahem, it's nothing. Mostly, I just like watching cooking videos."

Indeed, Qin Hao had never cooked at home. This was his first time cooking during the exam.

"Mmm, your cooking is delicious!"

Liu Qianqian gave Qin Hao a thumbs-up as she ate in great mouthfuls.

After finishing a wolf leg, Liu Qianqian picked up her chopsticks and started eating something that looked like a sausage.

"Mmm, this is good. What is it?"

Liu Qianqian asked as she ate.

The expression on Qin Hao's face was very strange, because what Liu Qianqian was eating was the tiger penis he'd intended to make for himself.

"Ahem, that's tiger penis."

"Tiger penis? It's tasty. Wait, what did you say it was? Tiger penis? Ugh..."

The moment Liu Qianqian heard the words "tiger penis," she felt sick enough to vomit.

She knew what tiger penis meant.

"Hey, is that really necessary? Didn't you just say it was tasty?"

"Hmph! You were up to no good. Why did you have to eat tiger penis, of all things?"

Liu Qianqian stared at Qin Hao as she asked.

Qin Hao was also very embarrassed. He'd wanted to eat it because tiger penis was highly nourishing, and he wanted to see what it felt like.

"Ahem, what reason could there be? It's simply because it tastes good."

With that, Qin Hao picked up a piece with his chopsticks and ate it.

"Mmm, it really is tasty!"

Watching Qin Hao eat it with such relish, Liu Qianqian remembered that she'd just eaten half a piece herself, and it really had been quite tasty.

After wrestling with herself for a while, she made up her mind, picked up a piece, and started eating.

Qin Hao was dumbfounded. Didn't you dislike eating this sort of thing?

"What are you looking at?"

Liu Qianqian turned her head to the side and continued eating.

Her cheeks were visibly flushed.

"Uh, nothing. I was just looking at a beauty!"

"Hmph, a man's mouth is a deceitful ghost!"

Liu Qianqian said.

After dinner, Qin Hao took out twenty Monster Cores and handed them to Liu Qianqian.

"Here, use these to improve your strength. Today is already the fifth day, and the exam ends in two more days. You're far too weak."

Indeed, Liu Qianqian was weak. She was only at Apprentice Fifth Rank.

Of the five-person team he'd killed in an instant the night before, the strongest had been at Apprentice Seventh Rank.

As for Qin Hao himself, he was already close to breaking through to Martial Artist Rank 2.

After everything that had happened over the past few days, Liu Qianqian no longer put on airs. She said "thank you" and began refining them.

Late at night!

"Hey, this is my sleeping bag. Fine, you got to it first, but why won't you let me in?"

"Hmph, pervert! You can sleep outside!"

With that, Liu Qianqian closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

It was still a little cold at night in the primeval forest, leaving Qin Hao utterly speechless.

With no other choice, he had to make do outside the sleeping bag.

By midnight, Qin Hao still couldn't sleep at all, because he wasn't used to sleeping like this.

So he checked on Liu Qianqian and found her sleeping soundly.

After thinking it over, he said, "Hmph, this is my sleeping bag. Why can't I sleep in it?"

Then Qin Hao carefully slipped into the sleeping bag and lay close beside Liu Qianqian.

Some physical contact in the process caused him to have an involuntary physiological reaction.

Besides, he'd eaten two pieces of tiger penis not long ago, so it was normal for him to react.

Tormented, Qin Hao gradually fell asleep with the scent of Liu Qianqian's body in his nostrils.

The next morning, Liu Qianqian woke to find that Qin Hao's large hand was around her waist, and his face was right in front of hers.

As a result, the moment she woke up, her lips came into intimate contact with Qin Hao's.

"Bastard! Pervert! Get up!"

Qin Hao was roused by the noise, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Liu Qianqian right in front of him.

"You bas—mmph..."

Liu Qianqian had just started to speak when Qin Hao sealed her mouth with his.

Liu Qianqian slapped at him for a long time, but Qin Hao wouldn't let go.

After struggling for a long time, Liu Qianqian stopped, but tears flowed from her eyes.

"Boo-hoo... you bastard, you pervert! I'm going to kill you, boo-hoo..."

Liu Qianqian cried, shouting that she was going to kill Qin Hao through her tears.

Qin Hao hurriedly climbed out of the sleeping bag and tried to soothe her.

"Oh, good girl, don't cry, don't cry. There, there!"

Hearing that, Liu Qianqian cried even louder.

She thought about how unlucky she'd been during this exam. Right at the start, Qin Hao had tied her up for a full three hours.

After that, she'd been badly injured by a Stone-Spike Bear, swept by a flood into Qin Hao's hands, and saved by him.

She'd finally recovered and decided to show what she could do, only to be robbed by a damned monkey.

Starving, she'd finally found a wild fruit, only to be poisoned and fall unconscious after eating it.

And now, Qin Hao had taken advantage of her again.

The more Liu Qianqian thought about it, the more wronged she felt, and the more unlucky she thought she was.

"Hey, hey, all right, good girl. Don't cry. I'll take responsibility, okay? I will!"

The more Qin Hao said, the harder Liu Qianqian cried.

"Oh, come on, big sister, I was wrong, all right? Please don't cry."

No matter what Qin Hao said, Liu Qianqian wouldn't have it, and her crying only grew louder.

At that moment, eight people were searching for demonic beasts three hundred meters away from Qin Hao's wooden cabin.

"Huh? Sounds like someone's crying?"

"That's right. From the sound of it, it should be a young lady."

"The sound came from that direction."

The captain leading the group said, "Come on, let's go see which bastard is bullying that young lady!"

With that, they followed the sound and arrived beneath the wooden cabin.

"Captain, it sounds like it's coming from the cabin up there."

Hearing this, the captain hurriedly climbed up.

But when he took a look, he was completely stunned.

Inside the cabin, a very beautiful woman lay in a sleeping bag, crying bitterly. Beside her was a young man so handsome it made him jealous.

Most importantly, the young man was the very one who had killed two of his teammates yesterday.

"Hmph! It's you again. Did you do something to that young lady?"
