Free Web NovelChapter 690: Chapter 690: He is a Woman
It only took a few minutes for Lin Kuang to hastily patch up his injuries and stop the bleeding. After all, Xiao Chenfeng, who had just helped him, was now hovering between life and death. Lin Kuang couldn’t help but worry.
He stood up and approached Xiao Chenfeng. He found blood at the corners of Xiao Chenfeng’s mouth, his handsome face deathly pale, and his breathing extremely faint. Seeing this, the worry in Lin Kuang’s eyes intensified.
Without a second thought, Lin Kuang opened Xiao Chenfeng’s robes, revealing his abdomen. A large footprint was stamped there, the surrounding skin an angry red. That kick was heavy, Lin Kuang thought. This guy is lucky to be alive.
Then, Lin Kuang placed his palms on Xiao Chenfeng’s abdomen. The smooth skin made him pause. Doesn’t this feel like a woman’s? It’s too smooth... Of course, the thought was fleeting. With his palms pressed against the abdomen, the True Qi in Lin Kuang’s body surged, and he began injecting the pure energy into Xiao Chenfeng. In that instant, Lin Kuang’s brow furrowed. The meridians in Xiao Chenfeng’s abdomen were completely shattered, and who knew how many bones were broken. The injuries were extremely severe.
That Chen Fengyuan is truly vicious, Lin Kuang thought. If that kick had been any higher, Xiao Chenfeng would surely be dead! He then began the treatment.
It took a full half-hour for Lin Kuang to use his True Qi to reconnect the bones and meridians in Xiao Chenfeng’s abdomen. Releasing his hands, he wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Finally done," he murmured softly. "I’m exhausted."
After resting for a moment, Lin Kuang checked Xiao Chenfeng’s injuries again. A thorough inspection revealed no other internal damage, which finally put his mind at ease. That should do it. With that, he pulled Xiao Chenfeng’s robes closed, covering his abdomen.
However, as Lin Kuang adjusted the robes, he noticed several layers of white bandages wrapped around Xiao Chenfeng’s chest. He couldn’t help but pause. Is he injured here, too? With that thought, he once again undid the robes, revealing his chest. Sure enough, it was wrapped in several layers of white bandages. Lin Kuang touched them, a puzzled expression on his face. What’s this? he muttered curiously. Why is it so soft?
Filled with a mix of doubt and curiosity, Lin Kuang unwrapped the bandages. The moment they came completely off, he froze on the spot.
This isn’t a man at all! This person is clearly a woman! After all, there was a clear difference between a man’s chest and a woman’s. Lin Kuang wasn’t a fool; he understood that much.
Looking at the towering, snow-white peaks, each adorned with a touch of crimson, Lin Kuang couldn’t help but swallow hard.
"My apologies, my apologies," he muttered as if chanting a mantra. "I didn’t mean to, I truly didn’t! I just thought you were injured. By heaven and earth, I really didn’t do it on purpose."
Though he murmured this, his dark eyes never strayed. It took a long moment before he finally, and rather sneakily, rewrapped the bandages around Xiao Chenfeng’s chest.
"Whew... so she’s actually a woman!" Lin Kuang said aloud, his face a mask of disbelief. "Damn it, she looked exactly like a man! How is she a woman?"
However, recalling the sight from moments ago, a peculiar smile crept onto his face. She’s so fair... he thought, and his smile became even more punchable.
After indulging in his fantasy for a moment, Lin Kuang glanced at Xiao Chenfeng beside him. This woman probably won’t be waking up anytime soon. I need to find her a place to rest. With that thought, he lifted Xiao Chenfeng onto his back and departed with her.
Where in this Great Snow Mountain can I put her? he frowned, thinking. I can’t have her catching a cold.
With no other choice, Lin Kuang carried her off the Snow Mountain and back into the forest. He wandered aimlessly until he came to a basin, where he planned to rest for a while. Coincidentally, he found a cave in the basin—a perfect spot. He went inside to check and found it dry, not humid at all. There was even some firewood, a clear sign that someone had lived here before.
Not bad. Looks like I’ll have to stay here for today. With this decision made, he carried Xiao Chenfeng into the cave and set down the large bundle from his back.
He took out the large box from his bundle and checked on the Snow Lotus King. It lay quietly inside, completely undamaged, causing Lin Kuang to breathe a sigh of relief. He then took out some dry rations and began to eat.
"Water... water..."
At that moment, Xiao Chenfeng’s incredibly weak voice sounded out. Startled, Lin Kuang hurriedly brought a water bottle to her lips and tilted it, pouring a stream into her mouth.
GLUG, GLUG.
Xiao Chenfeng drank more than half the bottle in one go before she drifted back into a dazed sleep.
Lin Kuang leaned against the cave wall, sitting in silence. The thought of finding the Ice Silkworm gave him a headache. Fortunately, Yang Ruoxi could hold on for several more months, so he wasn’t in a desperate hurry. Besides, it wasn’t something he could find in a day or two; worrying about it was pointless.
Thinking this, he leaned against the wall and cultivated quietly. At the very least, he would have to wait until Xiao Chenfeng had recovered enough to leave before he could depart himself.
Time passed, and soon the sky darkened. The cave became pitch-black, the silence broken only by Xiao Chenfeng’s soft breathing. It seemed she was sleeping soundly. Lost in his Cultivation, Lin Kuang remained motionless against the wall, like a statue.
Several hours later, Lin Kuang’s eyes snapped open. For an instant, it was as if a bolt of lightning had flashed through the cave, the light vanishing as quickly as it appeared.
Someone’s here! he thought, cautiously moving to the mouth of the cave to peer outside.
Just then, black-clad figures began appearing in the basin, one after another. In a few moments, there were eight of them. Each wore black stealth gear, and they looked as if they were plotting something.
"How are the preparations?" the leader of the group asked.
