My Wife Might Not Be Human

Chapter 17: Walking Humanoid Immortal Pill

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Their eyes met. One pair was curious, and the other was cold.

Dong Nuan was curious. Why?

Why did her soul feel comfortable when she was close to him?

Could it be that he was a walking humanoid immortal pill?

If that was really the case…

Dong Nuan felt that she should come over and rub against him when she had nothing to do.

This thing was nourishing, and it was automatically distributed by the other party. It did not require the initiative to suck it in. This was not against any moral rules. The bamboo spirit felt that as long as it was thick-skinned, it should definitely rub against it every day!

Han Jianglou’s expression was cold and there was a hint of conflict in it.

He wondered if he should talk to this silly little girl.

Liao Mingkun was not a good match for her. There was really no need for her to lower herself for him.

“Let’s not talk about whether you’ll live until get rich. Even if you get rich, will he really value your life?”

He did not even feel sorry for his biological mother, so why would he feel sorry for an outsider who served him?

However, the two of them were neither relatives nor friends. There was a social gap between men and women, and there was no friendship between them. It would not be good for him to say such things rashly.

However, Han Jianglou could not bear to watch this thin and small girl jump into that fire pit.

Even though his heart was as cold as an abyss, there was still a trace of justice and warmth there. He was willing to show kindness to innocent people.

Seeing that Dong Nuan was looking at him curiously, Han Jianglou thought for a moment, pursed his lips, and said in a hoarse voice, “Although it’s said that people shouldn’t judge others based on their actions, that young master of the Liao family is indeed not a good match. If you can, it’s better to avoid this marriage. Don’t you see that the other girls in the village are avoiding him?”

Han Jianglou felt that since they were not related to each other, it was already kindness enough for him to remind her of this.

With that, he strode away.

However, he had only taken a step when he felt a gust of wind rush over. He had already taken a step back at an extremely fast speed, but he still could not escape Dong Nuan’s small hand.

Han Jianglou, “?”

He broke out in a cold sweat from Dong Nuan’s actions, or rather, her speed!

One had to know that Han Jianglou had trained in martial arts before, but now, he could not dodge a skinny little girl??

‘Is that reasonable?’

Han Jianglou was a little puzzled.

Could it be that Dong Nuan was some hidden expert?

If that was the case, then in her previous life…

“Marriage is a big deal. I can’t make the decision on the orders of my parents and the words of the matchmaker.” After Dong Nuan approached, she took a few deep breaths. Although it ‘soul nourishment’, she was not actually eating anything.

However, what she sucked up was a sense of satisfaction!

Oh my! This feeling was too good!

She really wanted to hug Han Jianglou and put hiim in her pocket, sucking on his powers every day!

However, Dong Nuan also knew that the two of them were not familiar with each other. If she acted so rash so soon after meeting him, he would probably jump up and run away in fear.

It would not be good if the humanoid pill ran away. She had to coax it.

Thinking of this, Dong Nuan quietly stuffed two large apricots into his pockets. Perhaps she felt that it was not enough, so she quickly threw a few fresh peaches into the basket on the firewood behind him.

Peaches had fur and had to be washed before eaten. They were unlike apricots. If one was not too particular, they could be eaten right after brushing the dirt off the outside.

Therefore, Dong Nuan had been eating apricots at home and outside for the past two days.

However, it was still messy to them. Today, they happened to go up the mountain. There was spring water in the mountain that could be used to wash her hands, so Dong Nuan got a few more apricots, but before she could eat them, they bumped into Han Jianglou.

Then, she felt that two was too little. Dong Nuan threw in a few more in, then she threw them all in.

She felt that she could not just suck on his nourishment while providing nothing in exchange. This humanoid medicinal pill had to be fed and nourished. This way, she would be even less burdened when she sucked on it in the future.

Han Jianglou wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, Dong Nuan had already let go of the corner of his shirt. She raised her head and smiled sweetly at him. “But thank you, Brother Han. You’re a really good person.”

Han Jianglou originally wanted to say, “If you struggle and make a fuss, you’d be seen as unwilling. Your father and the others can’t force you to marry him.”

No one was stupid enough to not see what was going on in Liao Mingkun’s family.

There were people in the village who coveted his position, but…

Most of them avoided him.

In the farms, putting food on the table was enough of a problem. Who had the spare money to provide for a scholar, let alone a scholar with a foreign surname?

However, before he could say a word, Dong Nuan stuffed the apricot into his mouth. Then, it was as if something else had been thrown into the basket behind him.

Han Jianglou did not even see how Dong Nuan’s small figure tossed something so accurately and so quickly that he only caught a glimpse. He did not even see what was thrown.

Because he was too shocked, Han Jianglou was speechless for a moment.

Dong Nuan’s soul had already been nourished today. After feeding the humanoid medicinal pill, she happily rushed into the forest.

By the time Han Jianglou reacted, they could not even see Dong Nuan’s shadow anymore.

“It’s too fast!” Han Jianglou was once a person who had fought his way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Whether it was his reaction speed or combat ability, he was extremely capable.

However, he did not know if he could win against Dong Nuan.

At the very least, his speed and reaction speed were inferior to hers.

How could that be?

Han Jianglou could not understand. Previously, he had only heard from the villagers that she was honest and easy to bully.

From the looks of it, that might not be the case.

Han Jianglou could not even tell where the other party had hidden the fruit.

He was also carrying more than a hundred catties of firewood on his back. He had firewood in his house to burn. These were all good firewood that he had gathered and kept to sell in town.

He had no fields, so he could only work hard to survive.

However, this was not difficult for Han Jianglou. If he wanted to earn money, there were actually other ways.

However, he liked this kind of peaceful life that was similar to retirement.

In the past, he had been exhausted for most of his life and had sacrificed too much.

Now, he pursued a kind of dual peace of mind and body.

Therefore, if he worked a little harder physically, at least he would feel at ease in all senses.

Han Jianglou could not figure out where Dong Nuan put the fruit nor how she gained her speed. In the end, he could only shake his head and say, “Perhaps there’s someone better.”

Since he could not figure it out, he did want to make things difficult for himself. He adjusted the rope around the firewood slightly and strode down the mountain.

However, after taking a few steps, Han Jianglou reacted. Dong Nuan had entered the depths of the forest. There were wild beasts inside!

The old hunter would not usually enter the deep mountains. He only dared to take the risk because he had a mission.

However, Dong Nuan was just a little girl…

Realizing that something was wrong, Han Jianglou did not care how heavy the firewood on its back was. He adjusted it again, turned around, and ran into the forest.
