“Sudden and crucial intelligence arrived from the cold night, leaving the poor, frail, and helpless Ye Wanwan stunned in an instant.
Ye Wanwan: ‘W-Why are you helping me again?’
Si Ye Han: ‘Repayment.’
Ye Wanwan was bewildered. Was this burnt cake really that valuable?
Not only did it save her life, but it also exchanged for such significant information!
No! She couldn’t believe it!
Si Ye Han must have fallen in love with her at first sight. Otherwise, how could he, as the leader of the Asura, betray his own information to her?
At this moment, as Ye Wanwan was being hypnotized, she recalled with mixed emotions. The first meeting between her and Si Ye Han, and she had no idea about each other’s identities.
Clearly, they were leaders of two major factions, yet they mistook each other for underlings of opposing factions?
This scene was truly too joyous…
Watching Si Ye Han in her memories while under hypnosis, Ye Wanwan was speechless. She never expected Si Ye Han’s acting skills to be on par with her own…
Ye Wanwan: ‘Uh, isn’t this classified information? You’re just telling me like this?’
Si Ye Han: ‘I dislike owing favors. Just complete your task and report back.’
Ye Wanwan: ‘…’
Favor? What in the world kind of favor is this! It’s just a piece of burnt cake!
Si Ye Han’s thought process completely baffled her. According to reason, she was injured, and he not only saved her but also disclosed important information. Shouldn’t she be the one owing him a favor?
How did it end up the other way around with him?
Ye Wanwan was genuinely amazed by this logic and muttered, “Not only did you save me and provide crucial intelligence, all to avoid having me pledge myself to you? Am I that ugly?”
Si Ye Han’s expression slightly paused at her words, then he spoke, “I don’t need you to pledge yourself.”
But he needs a burnt cake.
Ye Wanwan: ‘…’
Alright, she had drawn a conclusion. She was less valuable than a burnt cake!
…
The memory of their first encounter quickly faded, interspersed with snippets of memories. It seemed that, following Si Ye Han’s advice, the Fearless Alliance successfully avoided an ambush.
During the following period, Ye Wanwan came to the Asura headquarters every few days to gather intelligence and, incidentally, to see Si Ye Han.
The second time, she brought a large meat bun in her arms; the third time, a sticky rice dumpling; the fourth time, a lollipop…
Almost every time, no matter what she brought, even if it was just a simple snack, Si Ye Han would generously reward her.
He would either give her information or help her with her assignments.
Her grandfather assigned her daily tasks to decipher various martial arts techniques. Despite her natural talent, the tasks became increasingly difficult, and she struggled more and more. If she couldn’t solve them, she’d face punishment.
Yet, once she casually mentioned it, Si Ye Han effortlessly solved it for her.
Ye Wanwan increasingly felt that this man must have been isolated for an extremely long time. He seemed otherworldly. Did he realize the value of the rewards he was giving her?
She couldn’t bear to deceive him anymore…”
