"Hmph!" Zi Hua crossed her arms and turned her head around.

"Okay, okay, you win, your jokes are better than mine *whisper* even if they make no sense" He Li tried to appease her, although he knew that she was only faking her anger to joke around with him he still didn"t want her to be mad at him.
"Good, also what was that last bit, I couldn"t quite hear you" Zi Hua was finally content with his forfeit, she had heard what he said since she was a cultivator and had superior hearing but still asked to put him on the spot.
"Nothing, hehe" He said nervously, he had just wanted to tease her with the last bit of his sentence knowing that she will hear for the fun of it but it seems that she was trying to tease him back by putting him on the spot, he now knew what it meant to shoot yourself in your own foot.
He shouldn"t have tried to tease her with the last bit but he couldn"t help it since he wanted to see her reaction.
"Really?"
He could only shakily laugh in reply.
"Okay, I"ll stop teasing you now, back to business" Zi Hua knew when to stop since if she carried on it wouldn"t be funny anymore which allowed He Li to breathe a sigh of relief.
Neither of the two realized how flirty their conversation was.
"These clothes will keep us warm, I"ve got some Beginner rank cores that are fire attributed to keep us warm, we can place these between layers" Fire attributed cores were much more abundant than ice attributed so it wasn"t difficult for her to get a bunch, however they"re aren"t exactly efficient since the energy released per core was minuscule and only a bit of energy was released each time but Zi Hua found them to be a perfect alternative for heat packs.
Due to this, Zi Hua had prepared a whole bunch to make sure she wouldn"t run out of them and handed half to He Li.
"Thanks, but its better to keep more for yourself, your vulnerable to the cold aren"t you" He Li tried to give some cores back to Zi Hua, he had noticed how to would slightly shiver and bury herself deeper into the blankets and his embrace during the cold desert nights.
His thoughtful actions touched Zi Hua but she didn"t take them back, she wasn"t going to indulge in his kindness when knowing that he will suffer if she takes them back, he has to learn to take proper care of himself.
But Zi Hua didn"t know that he would only act this way towards her and would only show indifference to others.
His master has told him to put himself before others unless he truly cares for the other person, he had always taken his master"s teaching close to heart but his recent actions clearly show the place Zi Hua has in his heart: but Zi Hua didn"t know that.
"Silly, do you think I"m that unprepared? Although I forgot to prepare extras of some things I have plenty more of these cores since I didn"t know how long I would have to stay here" Zi Hua replied slightly irritated at his care, if he was so caring to everyone then he would have trouble surviving, she needs him to understand this, plus... she didn"t want him to treat other people like how he treats her. (A/N: He ain"t going to be treating others so nicely coz you"re special~)
