Chapter 571 - 571 Why Are You So Stupid?!

571 Why Are You So Stupid?!
Huanhuan slept all day and didn’t wake up until evening.
Murphy fed her the medicine and asked with concern, “How are you? Are you still feeling terrible?”
Huanhuan leaned against the pillow and said weakly, “My head still hurts a little. I should be fine after resting for a while.”
“Old Man said that you suddenly fell sick because you were too tired and caught a cold.”!!
“Oh.”
Murphy’s heart ached at the sight of her pale face. “Didn’t I tell you not to go too far before I left? Why did you go to a place like the spider forest?”
Huanhuan’s nose was a little blocked, and her nasal voice sounded heavy. She sounded like she was crying. “Didn’t Her Majesty tell you the reason?”
“She said you ran off alone because you were afraid of the curse. You got lost on the way and wandered into the spider forest.” Murphy frowned. “I don’t believe her. You’re not the kind of person to leave your friends and run away alone. Tell me honestly, what’s going on?”
Huanhuan could roughly guess what the Elven Queen was thinking.
She was not a saint and had no intention of hiding it for the Elven Queen.
“Her Majesty said you were cursed and unconscious. She told me you needed the tears of the spider witch to be saved.”
“Is that why you went to the spider forest?”
Seeing her nod, Murphy’s entire heart melted.
He never expected Huanhuan to be willing to risk her life to save him.
Such pure and sincere feelings were like poison in honey. He knew that he would be doomed if he ate it, but he still couldn’t resist the temptation. He couldn’t help but pull her into his arms and hug her tightly.
“Why are you so stupid?!”
Huanhuan looked confused, not understanding why Murphy’s reaction was so strong.
She was forced into the spider forest by the Elven Queen. She didn’t want to go to such a damned place.
Before Huanhuan could explain, Murphy let go of her.
“My mother lied to you. It’s impossible for the spider witch’s tears to undo the curse… No, to be precise, the witch is inhumane. It’s impossible for her to cry.”
Huanhuan was not surprised by this outcome. “Oh, I actually thought the method was quite unreliable too…”
“If you thought it was unreliable, why did you still go to the spider witch? Aren’t you afraid of death?”
“Her Majesty asked me to go. I actually…”
She actually didn’t want to go at all.
But Murphy didn’t let her finish.
He took her hand and promised her seriously. “I’ve let you suffer this time. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely seek justice for you from my mother. When you recover, I’ll take you away from here and we’ll never come back.”
Huanhuan thought that his attitude seemed strange, but she couldn’t pinpoint what was strange about it.
She nodded in confusion. “Okay.”
She didn’t have a good impression of Elven God Mountain now. It would be best if she could leave as soon as possible.
Murphy helped her lie down and covered her with a blanket. “Rest well,” he reminded her gently. “I’m going out for a while. I’ll be back soon.”
“Mhm.”
After she closed her eyes, Murphy left.
Not long after he left, a black fog quietly appeared in the room.
The black fog condensed into a human form beside the bed.
As Huanhuan fell asleep, she felt as if someone was watching her. She opened her eyes and saw a familiar figure standing by the bed.
Xing Chen stared down at her. “You’re awake?”
He looked like an adult now. The ends of his short grayish-white hair were slightly upturned, making him look casual and messy. His amber eyes were staring at her on his pale face. He didn’t even blink.
Huanhuan was so frightened that she immediately sat up and quickly took out a small crossbow to aim at him. She was on guard. “Why are you here?”
“I came to see you,” Xing Chen replied casually as if he hadn’t noticed her wariness.
He was already very tall. Coupled with the fact that Huanhuan was sitting, she could only look up at his face.
Moonlight streamed through the window and fell on his back.
Huanhuan was enveloped by his shadow like a fair and tender rabbit that could be swallowed by the evil demon king at any moment.
She pressed her back against the wall and stared at him nervously. “You’ve regained your memories?”
Xing Chen thought for a moment. “I’ve recovered a little.”
“What do you mean? Have you still not recovered some of your memories?”
“Mhm.”
Huanhuan asked tentatively, “Then do you remember how you came to the dawn continent?”
“I came from the abyss and spent some effort. I almost died on the way. Fortunately, I was lucky. In the end, the heavens allowed me to successfully find you.”
“Y-You remember everything…”
Xing Chen bent down and approached her. “Don’t you want me to remember?”
Huanhuan held the small crossbow tightly and said with a trembling voice, “N-No, no.”
“Liar.”
Huanhuan’s finger was on the trigger, but she couldn’t release it.
She knew that it was impossible for this small crossbow to hurt Xing Chen.
It might even anger him and make him even more unreasonable.
Xing Chen examined her eyebrows carefully. “You do have a beautiful face. No wonder that spider witch wanted to snatch you away and eat you.”
Huanhuan was slightly stunned. Before her mind could react, she blurted out, “You’ve seen the spider witch?”
“Mhm.”
“Then you…”
“I ate her.”
He ate her?! Huanhuan’s eyes widened involuntarily. “How did you eat such a big spider? Aren’t you afraid of being stuffed to death?!”
Little Brat couldn’t stand it anymore and reminded her, “Isn’t your focus a little crooked?”
Xing Chen lifted her chin and smiled. “Are you worried I’d be troubled?”
Huanhuan denied it without hesitation. “No!”
But Xing Chen didn’t believe it.
He thought she was just shy, and his mood couldn’t help but improve.
“I have something for you.”
Xing Chen retreated a little, putting some distance between them.
Huanhuan immediately felt the air become fresher.
She was extremely afraid of Xing Chen. He was so close just now that they could feel each other’s breaths. The distance between them made her feel very awkward. Even her breathing became chaotic.
Xing Chen opened his palm in front of her, revealing a bloody mess.
They were two eyeballs.
Ah! Huanhuan cried out in fear, her face turning even paler. “Take them away! Take them away!”
“Didn’t you want the tears of the spider witch before? The spider witch doesn’t cry. You’ll never get her tears. These are her eyeballs. I specially dug them out and brought them to you. Even without tears, her eyeballs should do the trick.”
Huanhuan almost broke down. “I don’t want them! Take them away!”
“Why not?”
“They’re disgusting!”
Hearing this, Xing Chen was not angry. “It’s fine if you don’t want them.”
He closed her fingers and squeezed the eyeballs in his palm.
