Free Web NovelChapter 1587: Fine, I Give In
"I, Ling Feng, may not be a gentleman, but I am not that despicable!"
Seeing Fairy Qingping looking pitiful and tearful, like pear blossoms in the rain, Ling Feng only grew more irritated.
"You were poisoned at the time. I merely sucked out the poisoned blood for you. Believe it or not, that is the truth! There is seriously something wrong with your brain, woman! If I had known, I should have left you to die by the roadside!"
Ling Feng was fuming inside. Did she really take him for that sort of shameless scoundrel?
He had even lost his first kiss. He was the one at a loss here!
After being thoroughly berated, Fairy Qingping finally calmed down somewhat.
Her face flushed red, and she wished she could crawl into a crack in the ground.
She felt both ashamed and embarrassed. Even if Ling Feng had only sucked out the poison, he had still seen her body.
If word of this got out, how was she supposed to face anyone again?
And now she could not even cry properly to vent her emotions. This bastard was truly a great devil!
A cold, heartless, utterly inhuman great devil!
"Hmph!"
Seeing that Fairy Qingping had settled down and was only sniffling now and then, Ling Feng finally drew a deep breath and said in a somewhat calmer tone, "I already gave you some Heaven-Incinerating Dragon Flame Essence. The poison has basically been cleansed. Rest quietly for a day or two and you will recover. Once you do, turn back immediately and leave the Forbidden Divine Domain. Do not continue forward. Otherwise..."
Fairy Qingping secretly wiped her tears. It was obvious she still intended to search for the Unrivaled Young Emperor.
"Honestly, I have to hand it to you. Women like you never turn back until you hit the wall."
Ling Feng reached down and supported Fairy Qingping beneath her hips as he said solemnly, "Hold tight. We have already wasted too much time."
"Heh heh!"
The Despicable Donkey appeared from nowhere again and snickered. "Ling Feng, you are just too soft-hearted! I knew you would never be ruthless enough!"
"Hmph!"
Ling Feng shot the donkey an annoyed glare. "You are a donkey and utterly useless as one. Logically speaking, you should be the mount here. You carry her!"
"Bah! This divine beast is a divine donkey! Are divine donkeys meant to be ridden? You are the mount! Your whole family are mounts!"
The Despicable Donkey burst into curses at once. Clearly, he was not going to help.
Thus the two humans and one donkey continued onward.
The atmosphere along the way was awkward. Other than the Despicable Donkey constantly chattering away, both Ling Feng and Fairy Qingping remained silent.
After traveling dozens of li over rough terrain, Fairy Qingping's ample chest repeatedly and inadvertently pressed against Ling Feng's back, causing her face to flush crimson again and again.
Ling Feng felt equally miserable. If the Five Elements Heavenly Palace could be used, none of this would be necessary.
Still, after enough bumping and jostling, the two gradually became accustomed to it.
Just bear with it like this... It cannot be helped. Besides, this man has already seen everything anyway...
After persuading herself inwardly, Fairy Qingping blushed and carefully placed her jade hands on Ling Feng's shoulders. She pressed her exhausted body against his back and fully leaned onto him.
Weariness overtook her, and she gradually fell asleep.
In her dream, she seemed to be trapped in an icy cavern, yet there was a warm, cotton-like softness in her arms that made her feel wonderfully comfortable. Unable to resist, she hugged that "cotton" tightly.
When she awoke, the first thing she saw was a faintly flickering flame.
Stone walls surrounded her. Ling Feng, however, was nowhere to be seen.
Panic rose inexplicably in Fairy Qingping's heart as her beautiful eyes darted around, but Ling Feng's figure was truly nowhere in sight.
Letting out a bitter laugh, Fairy Qingping slumped weakly back onto the stone bed.
"That is only natural. I am just a burden. The fact that he carried me this far is already more kindness than I deserve. How can I resent him for leaving?"
As she thought this, Fairy Qingping clenched her fists and murmured softly, "Actually, he is not a bad person. It is just that he happens to stand opposed to Senior Brother Qin..."
Whoosh!
At that moment, two figures entered from outside the cave.
One man and one donkey walked in one after the other. Across the Despicable Donkey's back lay the carcass of a massive wild boar, while Ling Feng carried a bulging cloth sack in his hand that appeared to have been fashioned from one of his pant legs.
He had already given his outer robe to Fairy Qingping. Now even his pants were ruined. His clothes were in tatters, making him look like a savage.
Unfortunately, within the Forbidden Divine Domain, he could not access the clothing stored inside his storage spirit ring.
As a result, Fairy Qingping still had no choice but to wear Ling Feng's outer robe.
