"I got everything I need."
After spending some more time in the medicine store buying various medicinal herbs, Yusheng has let the three children and one adult drop the items he brought back into the residence he is renting.
As for the thought of them running away and stealing the items, the hidden guard of Wang Ling has been silently following them in the dark.
If these four people decide to gamble their life for the various food ingredients and medicinal herbs, then there is nothing else Yusheng can do but give them the punishment they deserve.
After all, what he loathes the most in his entire life are people who end up betraying him.
It doesn't matter if they are mere children, old people or simply an innocent person, Yusheng is indifferent to the point of having no kindness to the people he deemed unimportant and useless in his goal.
"I'm sure you are thirsty and hungry, let's get some snacks before getting back to the residence."
Yusheng gently smiles towards the pale-faced Wang Ling after noticing that the man is already at his limit of walking around the place.
Even though he can allow Wang Ling to remain unaffected by the unusual illness that has wrecked his body, it doesn't change the fact that it has already caused a lot of damage after not being healed for countless years.
"Thank you."
Wang Ling lets out a slightly heavy breath after noticing that he cannot continue walking around without taking a few minutes rest. At the same time, he feels a bit happy about how thoughtful, careful and meticulous the young man is when dealing with his situation.
He isn't the type of a person who can easily feel warm, and yet, when the young man has taken out a silk cloth before gently wiping the sweat on his forehead, well, he understands that it seems like he has met the person who can easily affect him.
And I don't dislike such changes... Rather, I feel like my life is becoming interesting and my world is slowly brightening up just being near the young man.
Fortunately, Wang Ling seems to have met the right person at the right time. Everything is simply just right, especially their situation that can be discussed without causing any misunderstanding between them.
So, after being carefully guided towards a chair, and being asked what snacks he would like to eat, he is able to easily accept such gentle actions.
Even though in some other people's eyes filled with a certain prejudice, he, who is being carefully taken care of, appears like a weak woman that can cause him to receive a certain contempt about how delicate he is acting despite being a man.
Even though the carrier of miracles has allowed people to easily accept a person having a relationship with the same gender, there are still people who won't be able to accept such a concept no matter the rational reason or special fact is placed before them.
Just as life has always been unfair to everyone regardless of their status or identity, there isn't anything that can ever be perfect. One or another, there will always be flaws.
Of course, such a minority is rare to meet, particularly the people who are brave or foolish enough to openly confront the people they just can't accept.
And yet, Yusheng and Wang Ling happened to just meet one such person, who is a young lady dressed in a beautiful silk robe haughtily walking over to their table before giving a disdainful snort to Wang Ling.
At the same time, she throws a shameless wink to the silent Yusheng, who is thinking about how cliche their situation seems to be.
"Young man, why give all your attention to another man? Especially a sick person who looks like he can die any second. Why don't you become mine?"
Yusheng pressed his lip with his purple eye that was barely covered by his long bangs, silently brewing an undetectable killing intent. At the same time, he silently reaches over to grasp Wang Ling's hand sitting by his side and gently squeezing it in a comforting manner.
"Instead of holding a hard body at night, don't you prefer a softer one? How about it? Want to try it?"
In a world of martial arts, especially with the mysterious power, there are people like this woman who are quite open about having a relationship. Particularly when their Empires aren't as strict and harsh regarding having a relationship with other people.
Of course, people with certain status and power still prefer to have a certain bottom line and proper performance when being with someone, especially when the person wants to marry a person with an influential family.
"Hey, why aren't you answ-!"
Yusheng silently takes out the hidden dagger in his robes and swiftly throws it at the noisy woman without hesitation, and when it pierces into the woman's throat, he turns around to gently comfort the silent Wang Ling who has remained unresponsive to the woman's supposedly hurtful words.
"I'm here, I won't allow anyone to bully you."
No matter how much a person has been used to hearing about the fact that he can die anytime, it still isn't nice to be reminded about it. Especially when the man has just learned that he can be cured a while ago.
"Don't worry, with me by your side, sooner or later, you will get better."
Although Wang Ling already understands that the young Prince's meticulous care is all for the sake of a goal, seeing such an indifferent and casual act of killing a person because of a certain word has still made him surprised.
Of course, there isn't any fear of witnessing how the young Prince has easily killed a person and with such a simple reason.
It is quite good being carefully protected and guarded, especially from a person with a similar identity, and yet, it also contains danger. One wrong move and Wang Ling doesn't know how the young Prince will react.
Of course, he won't stop his association with the young man, he rather likes how free and unconstrained the Young Prince is, completely different from how he usually acts when facing those hypocritical families full of hostility and murderous intention.
Always calculating how to further make his life miserable.
What to do… I suddenly found this young man so adorable…
"Wait a bit, I'll quickly take care of the others."
After receiving another comforting squeeze, Wang Ling interestingly watches as the young Prince easily takes care of the people who served the dead woman before taking the tray from an old waiter standing frozen in the distance.
Without a doubt, the tray that contained everything they just ordered was meant to be delivered to their table.
And even though all the customers have run out as soon as the woman drops dead on the floor, the Young Prince has thrown a piece of silver ingot to the waiter before returning back with an innocent smile on his face after killing a bunch of people just a few seconds ago.
"I'm sure you are thirsty, drink first before taking a bite of the snacks to soothe your hunger."
"Um."
Yusheng carefully pours the tea into a cup before gently placing it before the smiling Wang Ling, followed by the plate of snacks, which contains a bowl of peanuts and simple pastries.
"Don't worry about these dead people, I can handle the problem."
"Ok."
Yusheng doesn't feel that there is something wrong with killing people in front of everyone, particularly fearing getting into trouble.
After all, from the way the foolish woman had acted, she had obviously been doing such shameless acts a lot of time with how easily she lures a man to bow down to her skirt.
Of course, he didn't forget to observe the people's reactions when the woman walked to their table, the people's reactions just showed how they feared the woman to the point that they only remained silent while lessening their presence.
The pity and resigned expression in their faces completely showed that the woman has some sort of power over the town, causing everyone to resign to their fate of constantly being oppressed and troubled by such a haughty and shameless woman.
So, Yusheng and Wang Ling calmly drink tea and eat snacks in the tea house without any care in the world.
And when the low-rank official arrives with an angry and murderous intention on his face, followed by a group of people, well, their fate is already set in stone.
So, after easily dealing with the corrupted officials that use their power to control and oppress the townspeople.
Yusheng has chosen a person with a good amount of loyalty to the Su Empire among the subordinates under the low-rank official, letting him handle the rest of the problem before a new person with a better character will be sent to handle the duties of taking care of the townsfolk.
After putting the obviously corrupted people in the prison for a later trial in order for them to be given a proper punishment, Yusheng has gently pulled Wang Ling toward their few days of residence with a harmless smile on his face.
"Although some problems came up, I won't forget my promise to cook delicious food for you to eat."
In this life, I already accept the fact that I will take care of your safety and well-being. At the same time, constantly making you happy at every chance I got.
For the sake of Yusheng's goal and a bit of compensation from the previous life, he is prepared to be a Nanny and a Guardian until the day he dies.
