Moreover, Tao Hai’s stone pot wasn’t made too thick.

Tang Zhaozhao was a bit surprised. Before drinking the Spiritual Spring Water, she didn’t have the ability to make a stone pot. Unexpectedly, Tao Hai was quite strong.

After eating the hot meal, her stomach felt much better.

She also felt drowsy.

She was truly exhausted these past days, and in this cave with the hot spring, it was warm and very comfortable.

Before long, she was drowsy again.

When she woke up, she found herself covered with a mat woven from dry grass. The dry grass had obviously been treated, making it somewhat soft.

Underneath her, there was even a mat made from animal fur.

There was no stench from the animal, instead, there was a fresh soapnut fragrance.

At this moment, Tao Hai came again.

"I found some sweet wild fruits in the forest and saw some chestnuts. I’ll make them for you to eat later."

Thinking for a moment, Tao Hai said, "Is it suitable for you to eat these wild fruits raw now? The raw taste is a bit better, but if it’s not suitable, I’ll cook them for you later."

Tang Zhaozhao couldn’t help but laugh at these words.

"Can these cooked wild fruits be eaten? Let me see."

Seeing Tang Zhaozhao laugh, Tao Hai stared dumbfoundedly at her, then he too smiled.

He approached Tang Zhaozhao and brought the wild fruits in front of her eyes.

Tang Zhaozhao identified a few kinds and said, "These wild fruits are of a mild nature and harmless to me. As for the others, you eat them."

After the two shared the wild fruits, the food stewing in the stone pot was also done.

Tao Hai scooped the chestnuts into a stone bowl with a stone ladle, peeled them all, and then placed them into Tang Zhaozhao’s stone bowl.

"Eat them, they can provide some energy and are filling."

Looking at the meticulously peeled chestnuts, Tang Zhaozhao couldn’t say she wasn’t touched.

Here in the deep mountains, she couldn’t really count as a princess. She was so weak now, and Tao Hai could easily kill her or do whatever he wanted with her.

But he didn’t call her princess or do any of those nasty things men do.

Instead, he was very considerate of her.

At this moment, Tang Zhaozhao found herself a bit confused about Tao Hai.

After finishing the meal, it was Tao Hai who cleaned the dishes, and he even washed her menstrual cloth.

Tang Zhaozhao really felt incredibly shy, she....

She....

Tang Zhaozhao also tried communicating with Tao Hai: "This thing, you really don’t need to do it."

Tao Hai looked at Tang Zhaozhao’s flushed face and couldn’t help but laugh, "Kiss me once and I’ll listen to you."

Tang Zhaozhao rolled her eyes: "I’m too lazy to bother with you."

Tao Hai laughed, "Washing this for my future wife, I’m more than willing."

Tang Zhaozhao said, "But we have no relationship at all now."

Tao Hai’s smile faded.

"Tang Zhaozhao, have you really forgotten what you said to me when you were little?"

This was the first time Tao Hai showed such an expression to her, and Tang Zhaozhao inexplicably felt as if she’d done something wrong.

But her memory was extraordinary—anything she’d ever done, she would remember without fail.

If she couldn’t remember, it simply meant that it never happened.

"Tao Hai, are you making this up?"

Tao Hai looked at her with eyes deep as the sea, then shook his head slowly.

"I’ve always heard that the Tian Family people are the most heartless. I thought you, Zhaozhao, would be different. Who knew, you’re even more heartless than them."

"At least your family is aware of this matter, but you, you just outright deny it."

Tang Zhaozhao opened her mouth.

At this moment, she couldn’t help but wonder if she had indeed said something she shouldn’t have, unintentionally.
