How I Pampered the Tyrant Into Devotion With My Space-Chapter 52: Just How Much Does Pei Shu’er Like the Third Prince?

Chapter 52: How much does Pei Shu’er like the Third Prince?

Tang Zan frowned, along the way, Pei Shu’er hadn’t had this problem.

Though she was thin, her energy and spirit were very good.

Why had she suddenly become like this?

It seemed like even a slight breeze could blow her over.

Pei Shu’er pursed her lips, she also didn’t know what was wrong with her.

Normally she was fine, but at such a critical moment, she felt dizzy.

Now, too, she was terribly dizzy, and the aftereffects of the Spiritual Spring Water were making her even weaker.

She keenly noticed the frown on Tang Zan’s brow.

She pondered in her heart, what was Tang Zan thinking?

Did he think she was useless and wanted to kill her out of anger?

Or did he see her as a burden with no value for cooperation, planning to leave her and go on alone?

Pei Shu’er’s heart sank with a thud, she had been careless.

She and Tang Zan had a mutually beneficial relationship, how could she show weakness in cooperation?

If Tang Zan was a bit ethical, he would choose to find another partner.

If he was a bit unethical...

Considering the original self’s past unethical behavior, it was not impossible for him to kill her and silence her.

After all, Tang Zan was someone who bore grudges.

Pei Shu’er quickly adjusted her state and then flashed a confident smile.

"It’s not a big deal, the weather’s just been too cold lately, I’ve already taken medicine, I’ll be fine soon."

Tang Zan nodded indifferently and said nothing.

Pei Shu’er took a sip of Spiritual Spring Water and continued on her way.

Neither of them had a travel pass, nor did they have this ancient version of a map, and they got lost among the mountains.

Coincidentally, it got dark once again, and it was so cold around here that even animals wouldn’t appear, leaving the two with no chance to hunt for food.

Pei Shu’er took out Cloud Cake from the bundle she was carrying.

In a daze, she spoke, "Eat this, I remember you seem to like eating this."

Tang Zan: "..."

"I don’t like sweets, are you not confusing me with the Third Prince’s preferences?"

He looked at Pei Shu’er with deep, dark eyes, the atmosphere around heavy.

Pei Shu’er noticed his right index finger moved slightly.

Did he want to strangle her?

Pei Shu’er hurriedly thought it over with her foggy brain.

It seemed, perhaps, probably, indeed it was the Third Prince’s preference.

Exactly how much did the original self like the Third Prince...

Pei Shu’er was speechless, she coughed dryly and took out a few salted fish from the huge bundle.

Tang Zan watched as she fished things out of the bundle.

The items in that bundle were varied, only he couldn’t imagine what she could take out.

And despite rolling down the slope, the bundle didn’t fall, as Pei Shu’er protected it tightly.

She protected the bundle as if guarding her food like a little fox.

It was quite amusing.

Thinking about it, his mouth unknowingly curved into a faint arc.

The sudden inexplicable anger from before faded a bit.

Pei Shu’er pulled out a fire lighter, blew on it.

She lit the dry wood in front of her and started roasting the fish.

"Let me do it."

Tang Zan took the roasted fish from Pei Shu’er’s hands.

Pei Shu’er did not refuse.

In fact, she was still dizzy, just not as severe.

After eating the roasted fish, Pei Shu’er leaned against the trunk to rest.

As for Tang Zan, he took a bite of the fish but found it hard to continue eating.

His palate had been spoiled by Pei Shu’er.

What used to seem like perfectly normal food now tasted like wax to him.

He forced himself to finish it, while also sitting by the fire, trying to recall the route they had taken, and adding wood to the fire.

The night was so quiet, Tang Zan pondered, and at some point, his gaze fell on Pei Shu’er.

He noticed her complexion was pale, almost like she was dead.

Her brows were slightly furrowed, and a fine sweat appeared on her forehead, as if she wasn’t sleeping well.

Yet, she nearly made no sound while sleeping, he couldn’t even hear her breathing.

He leaned against the tree trunk, closed his eyes to rest. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

After a long time, he suddenly opened his eyes wide and walked to Pei Shu’er, looking down at her for a while.

Then he squatted down, resting his hand under Pei Shu’er’s nose.

When he felt a weak but warm breath, he imperceptibly let out a sigh of relief.

And then, he found himself quite laughable.

What was he doing?

How could he care about Pei Shu’er’s life or death?

Heh.

It must be that Pei Shu’er’s culinary skills were too remarkable, other than her food, he found it difficult to swallow.

He was only considering his own interests.

That’s all.

When Pei Shu’er woke up, she felt a bit better, and as soon as she opened her eyes she saw Tang Zan, arms crossed, quietly sleeping against a small tree beside her.

He was so handsome, like a deity.

Pei Shu’er raised her eyebrow, lifted the quilt, and then secretly stored it in her space under the cover of the bundle.

Tang Zan slowly opened his eyes, his voice indifferent.

"Let’s make a pot of fish soup to eat."

Pei Shu’er nodded, she happened to be hungry as well, using a rice pot, she started cooking rice.

In an iron pot, she cooked two fish and also took out an assortment of spices from her bundle.

Tang Zan watched Pei Shu’er make the fish soup throughout the process.

He had a good memory, remembering clearly even the interval between the spices added by Pei Shu’er.

And he thought, next time he could definitely do it well.

Pei Shu’er did not hold back, if Tang Zan liked watching, he could watch. After all, it was just a dish.

Tang Zan took a bite, his eyes almost closed in enjoyment.

Pei Shu’er thought this Tang Zan, like a contented lion.

The two walked a bit further and for lunch Pei Shu’er took out two more salted fish. Before she started cooking, Tang Zan quietly watched her face for a while and then spoke.

"Let me."

After saying this, Tang Zan was also stunned for a moment, then turned his head away.

Pei Shu’er happened to be dizzy, happily agreed.

Tang Zan started making the meal, and Pei Shu’er thought it was alright, a significant improvement.

Yet when Tang Zan ate it, he frowned.

It tasted similar, but it wasn’t as good as Pei Shu’er’s, it seemed a bit overcooked.

Pei Shu’er took a glance, already accustomed to Tang Zan frowning.

Because he had indeed frowned too many times these last two days.

The two walked around the mountain, not knowing where they turned, only able to head in a general direction.

Then they encountered two mountain bandits, handling some affairs. Those bandits face carried a wicked smile as they talked about their gains this time.

"Let me tell you, the women we caught this time aren’t bad at all. I heard one of them was once the War Princess, we sure hit the jackpot!"

At this, the two let out a sinister laugh, their eyes full of a tacit, lewd understanding.

Pei Shu’er felt her heart skip, the War Princess, wasn’t that Tang Zan’s mother, her good mother-in-law?

She turned to look and also found Tang Zan’s face looking ugly.

His gaze towards the two big men ahead was as if he wanted to devour them.

Pei Shu’er whispered a reassurance, "It might not be your mother, could be someone impersonating her."

Tang Zan lowered his voice, "Whether it’s my mother or not, as long as there’s a chance, I cannot stand by."

Pei Shu’er nodded, indeed, what if it was really Liu Xu, what then?

This small chance, they dared not gamble.

Tang Zan lifted his foot and kicked a stone heavily.

The stone hit the shorter bandit’s back.

That bandit cried out in pain and fell to the ground.

The other was hit in the back by Pei Shu’er’s crossbow arrow.

Pei Shu’er took out a crossbow and handed one to Tang Zan.

"Hold on to it, I only bought two."
