Rescuing the Girl in Black Clothes Again

Inside a fairly decent house, Qian Xunji was carefully preparing breakfast.

Although food was always provided in the Inner City of the City of Slaughter, and it was far better than the food in the Outer City, Qian Xunji had long since grown unaccustomed to it.

So every few days or so, Qian Xunji would improve his own meals.

Knowing long ago that he would be staying in the City of Slaughter for some time, he had stocked a great deal of meat and rice in his Storage Space, along with essential cooking utensils and seasonings.

Taking out the necessary ingredients from the Storage Space, he planned to make a simple serving of egg fried rice for breakfast.

He first diced the cucumber into evenly sized cubes, then chopped the washed scallions into minced scallions. Finally, he beat four eggs into egg wash and prepared the rice.

He poured an appropriate amount of oil into the wok. Once Ice Flame had heated the cauldron, he adjusted the flame to medium heat and added the rice soaked in egg wash.

Sizzle!

He immediately used his chopsticks to stir-fry the rice until every grain in the cauldron was separate and distinct.

Next, he added the diced cucumber to the cauldron and stir-fried it evenly. Once the cucumber had softened, he added an appropriate amount of salt and pepper.

Then he sprinkled in the prepared minced scallions and stir-fried everything a few more times. A rich fragrance immediately filled the air.

Looking at the golden, fragrant egg fried rice, he scooped up a large spoonful and put it into his mouth. After chewing a few times, a satisfied smile appeared on Qian Xunji's face.

"Mmm, a familiar taste. It smells so good." Qian Xunji picked up the chopsticks he had known in his Previous Life and wolfed down the fragrant fried rice.

After eating, Qian Xunji opened the lid of the soup pot, which had been left slightly ajar, and took a small spoonful of soup. The radish and ginseng had been thoroughly stewed. Cut into chunks around three centimeters wide, they were Crystal Clear like crystal itself. Scooped into the spoon, they melted in his mouth at once. The refreshing taste that seeped through the hot broth perfectly complemented the slight richness of the Soul Pig Meatballs. A bite of radish, followed by a bite of meatball, let him taste the faint flavor of white pepper in the soup. It was simple and plain, yet warming and delicious.

Just then, a burst of fighting broke out outside the room, a sharp series of crackles as the battle raged fiercely. Qian Xunji released his Mental Power to investigate and discovered that it was the Young Girl he had saved before, Man Yao.

Before long, the sounds of battle gradually subsided, and silence fell.

Qian Xunji slowly opened the door and stared at the Girl in Black Clothes without saying a word. After a long while, he walked over to her. The Girl in Black Clothes had already fallen unconscious, her entire body drenched in blood. Clearly, she had just gone through a vicious battle. Had she not encountered Qian Xunji, she would soon have died quietly upon this silent land of the City of Slaughter.

Looking at the Girl in Black Clothes' mangled, bloodied body, Qian Xunji bent down and slowly gathered her into his arms. Her arms tightly wrapped around his neck and refused to let go, revealing much of her Snow White, delicate skin. Qian Xunji inadvertently glanced at her and silently recited, Do not look at what is improper. Do not look at what is improper.

Inside the room, the Girl in Black Clothes lay peacefully on Qian Xunji's bed. However, her tightly furrowed brows showed that her condition was not good.

Qian Xunji carefully cleaned the wounds on the Girl in Black Clothes' body. It took several large buckets of water before he finally cleaned her up. Her clothes were tattered beyond recognition, and the sight of her round, fair thighs made Qian Xunji's heart stir. Shaking his head, he could only take out his own clothes to cover her exposed skin.

He then skillfully applied the wound medicine specially supplied within Spirit Hall and finally wrapped her in layer after layer of clean white bandages. The entire process took less than half an hour. It seemed that, after two years in the City of Slaughter, he had already become accustomed to such things.

Afterward, the Girl in Black Clothes remained unconscious for three days and three nights. During that time, her fever would not break. Fortunately, Qian Xunji possessed some medical knowledge from his Previous Life. He stayed by her side day and night, caring for her and helping bring down her fever.

"I've never taken care of anyone like this before." Qian Xunji smiled.

The Girl in Black Clothes was very cute. At that moment, as though she had shed her usual icy exterior, she was like a little cat silently licking her own wounds. Her expression grew ever more fragile, reminding Qian Xunji of his younger sister from his Previous Life.

With a soft groan, the Girl in Black Clothes slowly woke up. She opened her lively eyes and stared blankly at Qian Xunji.

"Miss, you're awake!" Seeing that the Girl in Black Clothes had awakened, Qian Xunji hurriedly called out.

The Girl in Black Clothes' gaze was somewhat dazed as she looked at the young man before her. She knew him. He had once saved her when she was being pursued. What left the deepest impression on her was not that he had saved her, but Qian Xunji's handsome face, as though he were an immortal cast down from heaven.

She had lived in the City of Slaughter since birth, experiencing this filthy world. She had never encountered someone as unconventional as Qian Xunji. Not only did he possess the handsome looks of an immortal, but his strength was also formidable.

While unconscious, she had thought she would die in humiliation in some corner. But she had felt this man hold her in his arms and save her. Then he had cared for her attentively for three days and three nights. She clearly felt that Qian Xunji had pulled her back from the brink of death.

"Yes, I'm awake. Thank you for saving me," the Girl in Black Clothes said in a cool voice.

Suddenly, the Girl in Black Clothes seemed to realize something and sat up. Qian Xunji's oversized clothes immediately slid slowly down her delicate, fair skin. Her face instantly flushed red. With embarrassment in her eyes, she quickly picked up Qian Xunji's clothes with her tender white arms and draped them over herself again.

"M-My clothes..." the Young Girl said nervously and shyly.

When Qian Xunji saw his clothes slip off the Young Girl's body, he turned around at once, though he had still vaguely caught sight of a flash of fair skin. Hearing her shy, nervous voice, Qian Xunji said, "Miss, your clothes were already tattered beyond repair, and I didn't have any women's clothes with me. So I could only let you wear mine for now. See whether you have any clothes in your Storage Space."

The Young Girl hurriedly opened her Storage Space, took out a set of her own clothes, and changed into them.

"All right, you can turn around now," the Young Girl said.

Qian Xunji turned around and saw her in a flowing, elegant long dress. Its Snow White inner collar made her tender, jade-like skin appear even fairer, making people feel warmly toward her at first sight. The band across her forehead added a touch of charm and suited her delicate little face well. Her large eyes and petite figure below her cheeks made her look lovely and pure.

Qian Xunji asked, "Miss, are you feeling better?"

The Young Girl replied innocently, "Yes, I'm much better. Thank you for taking care of me."

"Right, let me introduce myself. My name is Man Yao. I've lived in the City of Slaughter since I was little. What about you?"

"My name is Qin Jian. I came to the City of Slaughter to train," Qian Xunji said.

"You're different from most people I've met. Everyone else came to the City of Slaughter either to escape their enemies or because they could no longer survive in the outside world, yet you treat this place as training." Man Yao's large eyes were filled with confusion, as though she could not understand.

"Do you want to leave?" Qian Xunji asked.

"Of course I do. I tried to leave before, but I was discovered. Can you get out?" Man Yao asked.

"As long as I want to, I can definitely get out," Qian Xunji said confidently.

"The only way for us to leave is to achieve a Hundred Matches victories, meet the Slaughter King, and have him open the Hell Road. I definitely can't do it alone. If the two of us challenge the Hell Road together, our chances of success will be much greater. Let's do it together, Qin Jian," Man Yao said.

"Sure, no problem. Stay here and recover first. I'm going to continue challenging the Hell Slaughter Arena." Without waiting for Man Yao to react, Qian Xunji walked out of the room.

"What a strange person," Man Yao murmured softly. Then, as though she had thought of something, her cheeks flushed red.
