54: Chapter 054: A Night in the Wilderness!

“Peeping Tom?” Ling Feng’s brows furrowed as he snorted lightly, “Jiang Wanqing, you’d better get your facts straight—I have absolutely no interest in you, so why would I need to spy on you?”

Indeed, Jiang Wanqing was somewhat attractive, but he had only glanced at her unintentionally—besides, he had saved her life!

“You!” Jiang Wanqing was so angry that her pretty face turned red, and she cursed inwardly: This damn Ling Feng, after peeking at her, still had the nerve to be so self-righteous, as if there could be no one else in the world more shameless than him!

“You hide here and do such vulgar and obscene acts, yet you dare to be so self-righteous.

I…

I must teach you a lesson!”

“First, look at your feet,” Ling Feng shook his head, then turned and walked away, too lazy to deal with this persistently annoying woman.

“Don’t go, you explain yourself to me!”

Jiang Wanqing stomped her foot in rage, looked down, and her face instantly turned pale with fright.

Sure enough, beside her foot was a deep brown snake, chopped into pieces—its length no more than a chopstick.

The cut on the snake’s body was as smooth as a mirror, and its head had turned into a pool of blood.

She then realized that the whooshing sound she had just heard was clearly Ling Feng’s Sword Qi striking the small snake dead.

She recognized the snake—it was the extremely poisonous Five-step Golden Ring Snake.

A regular person would die within five steps after being bitten, and even a Martial Artist in the Magnetic Condensation Realm like herself would likely lose a leg without prompt treatment after being bitten.

“This…” Jiang Wanqing clenched her fists, realizing that Ling Feng had actually saved her, yet she had misunderstood him for being a voyeur…

A storm of emotions surged in Jiang Wanqing’s heart.

With her silver teeth clenched, she activated her movement technique and flew toward the direction of the cave.

Soon, Jiang Wanqing returned to the cave and immediately asked the disciple on watch: “Where’s Ling Feng?

Has he come back?”

The watchful disciple was taken aback and quickly shook their head: “No, Senior Ling Feng went looking for you since you were gone for so long and hasn’t returned yet.”

“He…” Jiang Wanqing’s heart skipped a beat, “He actually went looking for me?”

“What’s the matter, Senior Sister Jiang?”

“Nothing, nothing.” Jiang Wanqing felt slightly out of sorts and slowly walked into the cave, with all sorts of thoughts swirling in her head: Why would he come looking for me?

Does he care about me?

If Ling Feng knew that Jiang Wanqing’s thoughts were so elaborate, he would surely be amused and exasperated.

He had simply looked for an excuse to leave, and yet it had led to such a misunderstanding…

…

At this moment, Ling Feng was sitting cross-legged on a rock near the cave, opening his Human Dao Eye to absorb the Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth.

He couldn’t waste the fifty breaths’ worth of time at a hundredfold increased cultivation speed.

After running his True Qi through eighty-one cycles in his body, he no longer lingered outside and returned to the cave.

“Senior Ling Feng, you’re back!

Senior Sister Jiang was just looking for you!” The disciple on watch exclaimed upon seeing Ling Feng.

“Jiang Wanqing was looking for me?

What for?”

Ling Feng curled his lip, thinking to himself: Women are such trouble.

If only he had let that snake bite her.

After all, with his medical skills, such a trivial snake venom would be easily treatable, saving him from being wrongly accused of being a despicable voyeur.

“I don’t know.” The watchful disciple shook their head, “The Senior Sister is inside, why don’t you ask her yourself?”

At that moment, Jiang Wanqing came out of the cave again to see if Ling Feng had returned.

Upon seeing him, her eyes lit up, but considering others were present, she immediately pulled herself together and, with clenched teeth, said, “You…

come with me for a moment.”

Ling Feng rolled his eyes and reluctantly followed her.

Finally, Jiang Wanqing stopped on a small hill, turned around, mustered her courage, and said to Ling Feng, “Just now…

I’m sorry, I was wrong about you.

Thank you for saving me.”

Ling Feng raised an eyebrow and replied indifferently, “Is that all?

There’s no need to thank me.

I would have done the same for anyone in that situation.”

Jiang Wanqing’s pretty face turned slightly red, and she asked again, “You…

so what did you just see?”

After saying this, Jiang Wanqing felt like her heart was about to leap out of her chest.

“I saw what I was supposed to see, and nothing I wasn’t supposed to,” Ling Feng shook his head, “If there’s nothing else, then I’ll be going back.”

With that, he turned and left without any intention of lingering in Jiang Wanqing’s company.

“You!

You!” Jiang Wanqing stamped her little barbarian boot, nearly driven to frenzy with irritation, “You big jerk, am I really so unwelcome that you can’t even spare me a glance?”

The whims of a woman’s heart are just that bizarre—you call them light and shameless when they look, and yet they feel aggrieved when you don’t!

…

After Ling Feng returned to the cave, some time passed before an irritated Jiang Wanqing came back.

As she walked past Ling Feng, she huffed angrily and then sat down on the other side of the cave, turning her head away, refusing to even look at him.

To the others watching, this scene was quite intriguing.

What exactly had happened between Ling Feng and Jiang Wanqing after all their coming and going?

The matter was truly thought-provoking!

But, they dared not gossip under the watchful eyes of Ling Feng and the others, merely speculating internally about the nature of their relationship, which, it seemed, was not so simple!

No wonder he’s Senior Ling Feng; in such a short time, he’s gotten the proud swan Jiang Wanqing to lower her head!

Impressive!

That was the sentiment among the male disciples.

Naturally, there were female disciples who secretly lamented, “Ah, why didn’t Senior Ling Feng take a fancy to me!”

That night seemed unusually long.

Suddenly, the alarm bells set up near the cave gave off a crisp “ding-ling-ling” sound.

Whoosh!

The disciple on the night watch was the first to stand up sharply, followed by everyone else in the cave snapping awake.

Ling Feng opened his eyes too and looked in the direction of the sound.

“It’s nothing, it’s nothing, just a rabbit accidentally hitting the alarm line,” the disciple on watch quickly reported, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

These guys, after the “bloody battle” during the day, had finally become vigilant, though they were somewhat jumpy.

The saying goes, “Once bitten by a snake, one is scared of well ropes for ten years,” and that was probably the sentiment here.

Finally, as it got into the latter part of the night, the disciples sitting cross-legged in meditation began to succumb to exhaustion and fell into a sound sleep.

The disciple on the night watch also couldn’t keep his eyes open, struggling with fatigue.

Ling Feng walked to the entrance of the cave, patted the night watch disciple on the shoulder, and said calmly, “Alright, you go get some sleep, I’ll take over the watch.”

“Ah?

Senior Ling Feng!” The night watch disciple perked up a bit seeing Ling Feng, quickly rubbing his eyes, “This isn’t right, I should keep watch.”

“Go get some sleep, everyone had a tough day!”

Without further discussion, Ling Feng pushed the night watch disciple back into the cave and sat down at the entrance himself, keeping an eye on the surroundings.

The teammates inside the cave, upon seeing this, suddenly realized that this Senior Ling Feng, rumored to be a ruthless killer, also had a compassionate side to him.

Maybe none of the other team captains would have stood guard for their team members through the night, like he did.
