Chapter 49: Did I Arrive at a Bad Time?
Chen Qingyan was also extremely annoyed. She had long been able to hold her breath on her own.
It was just the feeling of silence that made her a little scared, so she gave in to Lin Fengmian’s teasing.
Later, when she really didn’t want to pay attention to him, he actually tickled her.
An uncle’s patience can be tolerated, but not an aunt’s!
She bit back angrily, only to end up with a mouthful of mud, which made her a bit regretful.
The two of them lay still for another hour. Chen Qingyan had recovered fifty percent of her strength and expanded her divine consciousness to scan the surroundings, but found no one.
She summoned her sword and lifted them both up, flying out of the mud and landing in the nearby forest.
Lin Fengmian was startled and opened his eyes to see that it was Chen Qingyan who had flown out on her own.
Chen Qingyan was now like a mud doll, completely blackened and unrecognizable, spitting out the mud water from her mouth.
Seeing the usually cold and charming Chen Qingyan in such a state, Lin Fengmian couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
“‘Senior sister, you look like a mud puppet, hahaha… it’s killing me…'”
Seeing that this annoying guy still had the nerve to laugh, Chen Qingyan was so angry that her teeth hurt. She wiped her sword and asked, “Is this funny?”
Lin Fengmian looked at the sword that had regained its cold, shiny appearance and fought to suppress his laughter. “No, no! It’s very beautiful!”
Chen Qingyan snorted coldly and turned to leave, but she couldn’t help but lift the corner of her mouth slightly as she turned.
Laughing at me, aren’t you a mud man yourself!
Lin Fengmian was afraid that she was angry, so he quickly caught up with her and said, “Senior Sister, the situation earlier was urgent, I had no choice but to do so, please forgive me.”
Chen Qingyan saw that he didn’t mention the issue of taking advantage of her and said angrily, “Then you…”
Lin Fengmian played dumb. “What about me?”
Chen Qingyan didn’t know how to describe it, her full chest rising and falling, although it wasn’t very aesthetically pleasing due to the mud.
Lin Fengmian proactively changed the subject. “Senior Sister, where shall we go now?”
Chen Qingyan gritted her teeth. “To clean up!”
She said and took the lead to fly back to the river.
Lin Fengmian quickly rode the Qingfeng Leaf to follow behind and suggested, “Senior Sister, shall we return to the original underground cave to make further plans? The most dangerous place is the safest place.”
Chen Qingyan didn’t react and tacitly agreed.
The two mud-covered figures plunged into the water with a splash, causing the water to become murky, but it was soon carried away by the river.
As they swam upstream, Lin Fengmian finally realized that Chen Qingyan wasn’t very good at swimming, so he took the initiative to pull her along.
Chen Qingyan didn’t refuse and was pulled back to the cave by him.
The cave had two exits, and as long as they were not blocked, they could escape at any time.
Chen Qingyan didn’t rush to go up, but pushed Lin Fengmian up first, saying, “Wait inside, don’t come over!”
When Lin Fengmian saw Chen Qingyan’s well-proportioned body faintly visible in the water, he knew that she was going to take a bath.
“Be careful.”
Chen Qingyan coldly replied with an “Mm” and extended her divine consciousness to avoid anyone approaching.
After he left, she took off her clothes and vigorously scrubbed herself in the water, as if she wanted to wash away all the mud.
Lin Fengmian wasn’t as particular; he ran to the other cave entrance, jumped in, cleaned himself, changed into clean clothes, and returned.
Soon after, Chen Qingyan came back with her hair still wet, looking like a lotus flower rising from the water, stunning Lin Fengmian.
Chen Qingyan also noticed his intense gaze and snorted coldly, still clearly upset.
“Senior sister, what should we do next?” Lin Fengmian asked proactively.
Chen Qingyan sat cross-legged and said, “First, we will regain our strength, then we will go out to find the others and make further plans.”
Lin Fengmian thought that made sense and sighed, “I hope they’re all safe.”
But the tree wants to be still, but the wind won’t stop. Not long after, Chen Qingyan opened her eyes and said, “Someone’s coming!”
Lin Fengmian became a bit nervous and prepared to get up and run.
Chen Qingyan, who had regained most of her strength, had identified the person from their aura.
“It’s Liu Mei!”
Lin Fengmian walked out happily, but froze when he saw Liu Mei.
Liu Mei was covered in blood, clutching her abdomen with one hand, limping with a pale, bloodless face, and looking extremely weak.
Still, she smiled and said, “So it’s Junior Brother Fengmian, I thought it was some wild man that Sister Chen had captured.
She teased, “Did I come at a bad time? Did I disturb your good time?”
Lin Fengmian quickly supported her, “How did you end up like this? Did those demon monks do this to you?”
Liu Mei weakly leaned into his arms and said, “How could it be? Sister found a strong man on the road.”
“He has some special preferences and was very brave. He had no regard for a lady’s feelings and made me walk with a limp.”
Lin Fengmian’s face stiffened and an inexplicable anger rose in his heart, although he didn’t know what he was angry about.
Liu Mei giggled and kissed his cheek, saying, “Are you jealous? Don’t worry, Senior Sister loves you the most.”
She leaned against him, relieved, “Seeing you makes me feel safe, I’ll take a nap first.”
She said and fell asleep, collapsing weakly.
Lin Fengmian, although angry, could only pick her up and carry her to the side to let her rest there.
He suddenly noticed her blood-stained clothes, and without thinking, he lifted her skirt to take a look, only to be shocked.
Her thigh was simply bandaged, and when he removed the bandage, he found countless blood holes of various sizes.
No wonder she couldn’t walk steadily; she had been bled dry.
“Damn it, who did this?”
Lin Fengmian was both shocked and furious, feeling both heartbroken and angry.
This crazy woman with all those wounds dared to jump into the water, wasn’t she afraid of dying?
He hurriedly took out some medicine to put on her wounds, only to find more injuries on her body.
Just as he was about to undress her to bandage her wounds, he noticed a pair of cold eyes watching him.
Chen Qingyan coldly looked at him and said, “You go outside, I’ll take care of this!”
Lin Fengmian smiled awkwardly, put down the medicine, and went outside to wait anxiously.
After a while, Chen Qingyan’s cold voice came, “It’s done!”
Lin Fengmian went in to see that Liu Mei had been dressed in clean clothes and her wounds had been bandaged.
His face was grim as he said, “Did she fall into the hands of those demon monks?”
Chen Qingyan shook her head, “If she had fallen into their hands, she wouldn’t have escaped like this. These wounds seem to be self-inflicted, probably to resist the Joy Mist.”
Lin Fengmian was greatly shocked when he realized that these two women were more ferocious than each other, which made him feel somewhat uneasy.
Was his face-riding a bit too reckless?
