Chapter 1692: Chapter 1691: The Second Promise He Made to Her
Mou Xiao spoke politely, "Thank you. But you should worry about yourself. Once you enter this place, you might never get out."
"We’ll get out!" Mou Xiao said confidently, "There’s no place that can trap me. I’ll get you out of here."
"Thank you, but it’s really difficult to get out of here."
"I said we will definitely get out."
The woman smiled lightly and stopped speaking. He was a domineering man, and there was no need to argue with him.
The woman ignored him and continued to operate the experimental equipment in front of her.
Mou Xiao walked over curiously, but as soon as he got close, he noticed the woman instinctively shifted a little. She clearly didn’t see him approach as she had her back to him.
"How did you realize I was approaching?" He had been very curious about this just now.
He was confident in his own skills and believed that no one should have been able to detect him.
But this woman in front of him had no martial arts skills, her eyesight was even poor, and her reactions seemed a bit slow. How did she notice?
While operating, the woman replied, "I am very sensitive to scents. There is a faint smell of cold snow on you, a scent I’ve never smelled here before."
Mou Xiao was surprised; she was really remarkable.
"Did I scare you?" he couldn’t help but ask.
"A bit, indeed, because it’s been so long since anyone came here. So, I was always afraid I would misjudge, but then I saw your shadow and confirmed you were a person."
"What’s wrong with your eyes?" Mou Xiao asked, staring at her eyes.
Her eyes were actually beautiful, shiny black, but they seemed unfocused.
Mou Xiao couldn’t help but feel a bit of regret. Such a beautiful woman, if her eyes could see clearly, she would be even more beautiful.
"I got a bit injured in the past and cried here for many years, so they ended up like this..."
"Once we’re out, I’ll find someone to cure you," Mou Xiao promised, not realizing this was his second promise to her.
He never made promises to anyone and never wasted words, but in front of this woman, he not only found himself talking more but also making two promises in such a short time. He found it incredible himself.
"It’s okay, my eyes don’t matter. I can fix them myself, but it will be a bit troublesome."
"No matter how troublesome, it’s okay."
"Thank you."
"What’s your name?" Mou Xiao couldn’t help but ask again.
"I...Axiang, you can call me that."
"Axiang?" Mou Xiao guessed that it probably wasn’t her real name, but he didn’t mind, "I’m Mou Xiao."
The woman nodded and asked him, "Are you hungry? This is my first time hosting someone. Maybe you won’t like it."
After speaking, she handed him a test tube she was holding.
Mou Xiao was stunned; he thought she was researching some kind of potion. Was she making food?!
What were the yellow and green liquids in the test tube?
Seeming to understand his confusion, Axiang explained, "This is a nutrient solution. One dose can last a day. If you don’t want this, you can make something else yourself. There’s rice, and also plenty of vegetables and fruits, which I cultivate myself."
Mou Xiao looked around and indeed saw in the distance a glasshouse with many vegetables and fruits planted. This place was practically a small ecological environment with all necessary facilities in place.
What exactly was the intention of the person who imprisoned her here? Why build such a place to confine her?
