han his depleted soul energy. However, he felt that as long as he was awake and conscious, his soul energy would be recharging slowly but surely.

The free food and accommodation had made w.a.n.g Tong wish that he could stay here just a bit longer. Why would he go back and live in squalid while he could live here like a king?

"Have another one." Sisi careful peeled another orange.

w.a.n.g Tong opened his mouth, and Zhou Sisi fed the slice of orange into his mouth. He didn't even need to move a finger.

"Sisi, we should head back in a couple of days. This place must be expensive." w.a.n.g Tong mumbled as he chewed on the orange. He knew that Samantha needed money to pay for Ayrlarng's development, so he thought the money was better spent on where it was needed instead of his personal indulgence.

"Not yet. You will stay here a few more days. Don't worry; you are now as precious as a panda bear. You can't imagine the rank of the persons that had visited you when you were unconscious. They made it look like you were important enough to be on the cover of the 'Guose' Magazine."

Zhou Sisi stuffed another slice of orange into w.a.n.g Tong's mouth. The Guose magazine was the most popular female-focused magazine. The main draw of the magazine was its cover page that promised a display of the most successful and handsome gentlemen of the time, such as Li s.h.i.+min from House Li.

"Who visited me?"

"Both the house lords of the Li and the Ma. You had saved their princesses' life. What an idiot you are! Didn't you know that you almost died because of that? Can't you use your brain? They all say that it was a gallant act and it ought to win the hearts of the ladies. How did you know the Zhang's?"

"Zhang? What Zhang?" The question dumbfounded Ww.a.n.g, Tong.

"There's only one Zhang, you silly. Zhang, the Iron Curtain. They had also inquired the doctor about your condition and said if the hospital needed any a.s.sistance in improving your condition, they would be more than happy to provide the aid. Three of the five great houses were concerned about your safety; I won't stress about the medical bill if I were you."

Zhou Sisi found it hard to make the connection between the penniless w.a.n.g Tong and the Great Houses.

"The Iron Curtain? I have no idea!" w.a.n.g Tong pulled a poker face as he spoke. He didn't want to sound like a name dropper.

"w.a.n.g Tong, you don't remember me?" Zhang Jin knocked on the door and asked with a warm smile.

"Lieutenant Zhang?"

"Haha. I am no longer a lieutenant, just call me Zhang Jin. I am in the second year at the Starry Sky Academy. Hi, Zhou Sisi."

Zhang Jin wore an earnest and warm smile on her face. She was not s.e.xy like Samantha, nor mischievous and cute like Li Ruoer. Yet, she was easy going, friendly and trustworthy.

"Zhang...Jing..ahh! You are from the Iron Curtain Zhang!" w.a.n.g Tong pretended that he had just realized the connection. His acting was terrible but pa.s.sable.

"I have heard that your condition had been stabilized, so I decided to come visit you myself. You are the luckiest person I have ever met: First it was Norton, then an Arctic Blizzard… I wonder what it would be next time. Haha" Zhang Jin set the fruit basket aside on a coffee table.

"I see you every time I have a close call with death. You might be my lucky star." w.a.n.g Tong jested. He was pleased to see Zhang Jin again. Although they had only met once, w.a.n.g Tong felt that they were old friends.

"I knew I was right about you being a bada.s.s. No wonder you could survive that long on Norton. I bet that you were just fine on Norton with or without our rescue."

"Don't joke about that, it's not funny. If you guys came a second later, I might as well have become a nut job."

The two girls in the room laughed simultaneously at w.a.n.g Tong's eccentric language.

"You risked your life for the two beautiful princesses. Are you going to marry them soon?" Zhang Jin teased w.a.n.g Tong.

"Er...I never thought that much. They needed my help, and therefore I offered it. As a matter of fact, if not because they were both sick, they wouldn't need my help... when the ..."

"Oh, come on, don't pretend you never thought about marrying them and tried so hard to impress them! You almost lost your life for G.o.d's sake!" Zhou Sisi cut w.a.n.g Tong short. Sisi really liked the way Zhang Jin carried herself. She was in full control during the conversation, but still not pushy. She had the perfect look like a typical Ivantian, but lacked the annoying pretentiousness.

"She is right! You should rightful accept any grat.i.tude from the two houses, including their precious daughters. Don't be so fake and pretend you don't want it!" Zhang Jin's words. .h.i.t the mark. She posed like an elder sister. w.a.n.g Tong felt the urge to confide in her and seek advice on things that puzzled him.

"You guys have a party here?" w.a.n.g Tong heard Li Ruoer's mischievous voice at the door, and there was a sharp edge in her voice. She had recovered much faster than w.a.n.g Tong.

"Ruoer..."Trailing behind Li Ruoer, Ma Xiaoru pulled Li Ruoer's sleeve. She felt slightly embarra.s.sed, after all, w.a.n.g Tong had saved their lives.

"Thank you, w.a.n.g Tong. Let me know if you need anything in the future. I promise I will get it for you."

w.a.n.g Tong's heart sank after hearing Ma Xiaoru's grat.i.tude. He then quickly plastered a smiling face and then said, "You are welcome."

Even Zhou Sisi had felt the awkwardness of the two's conversation, but she felt a squeeze on her hand from w.a.n.g Tong, suggesting her to keep quiet.
