Chapter 241: The first gift

“Of course not!” He quickly responded.

“Since you’re not afraid of me, why won’t you look me in the eyes? Are you afraid of me seeing through your thoughts? Alright, since it’s like this, I might as well tell you the truth. Your guess is right, I did learn a mind reading technique. As long as I take a look at you, I will be able to guess what you are thinking.”

Chen Ning’s smile faded as she spoke with a serious expression on her face.

“Really?” Mo Chuan’s heart violently trembled. When he looked into her black and white eyes, he quickly looked away.

“Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!” Chen Ning couldn’t help breaking out in laughter. She was laughing so hard that she bent over, “Aiyo, this is so funny. I’m clearly speaking nonsense and you actually believe me!”

“You!” Mo Chuan was embarrassed and angry as he suddenly stood up.

Chen Ning’s right ankle fell to the ground and she gave an “yi” sound. Standing up and taking two steps, she found that it did not hurt anymore. Rather, the swelling of her ankle disappeared and it was back to normal.

“Xiao Hei, what kind of treasure is this medicine? It’s too miraculous and so easy to use!” She picked up the bottle and examined it, even opening it to take a whiff.

“It’s not a treasure at all. If you like it, I can just give it to you.” Mo Chuan spoke in an indifferent manner, as if what he was giving away was something that costed nothing.

If Xiao Si saw this, he would have screamed.

Of course, he would not tell her that this medicine was created personally by the world’s greatest doctor. Although it seemed ordinary, there was only a single bottle of this in the world. It had been very hard for him to obtain it and it was a priceless treasure.

Not only did this little bottle have an effect on blood circulation, it also had a miraculous effect on the bones of either a living or dead person. No matter how heavy the injury sustained was, as long as this medicine was rubbed on, the bleeding would stop and the bones would make more blood. It was incredibly effective.

The bottle of medicine was something that Mo Chuan always kept by his side, treating it as a treasure, but today he had given it away without even blinking an eye.

Chen Ning shook her head with a smile. Although Mo Chuan did not say anything, she could tell that this strange medicine was not a normal item.

“I don’t have any use for this kind of thing. You are an assassin, living on the edge of a knife everyday. If you’re not bleeding, then you’ll still be injured, so it’s better if you keep it.” She gave the bottle back to Mo Chuan with a smile. Seeing that he was not taking it, she placed it into his chest.

“You don’t like what I’m giving you?” His eyes seemed like he was a little hurt.

This was his first time he was giving someone a present, but he never thought that Chen Ning would reject it.

“I like it, but there’s more use for it if you keep it.” Chen Ning said with a faint smile.

If Xiao Si could see this scene, he would definitely be stomping his feet in anxiety over his master.

He would definitely say, “Master, ah Master, this is your first time giving a gift to a girl, you should at least give her something she likes. For example, beautiful jewelry, pretty clothes, or even some nice makeup. You’re really good, actually giving this girl a golden bottle of medicine!”

Aren’t you hoping that this girl gets injured in the future?

“Xiao Hei, my foot is fine already, it’s been hard on you. It’s getting late, so you should go rest soon.”

Chen Ning took a few steps in the room and found that her right foot was better. She raised her head to give a grateful look to Mo Chuan.

However, it seemed like Mo Chuan did not hear her. It was unknown what he was thinking, but he just silently stood there.

She even said it twice, but he did not hear it at all.

Chen Ning’s face turned red and couldn’t help staring at him. In the dead of night, having a man and woman in a single room, nothing good could happen if this was ever spread.

Especially, after the oath that she had given everyone today.

This Mo Chuan, was he purposely not leaving?
