Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor
Chapter 498: The Wronged Man

Chapter 498: Chapter 498: The Wronged Man

Night had passed quietly, and the gentle morning sun once again enveloped the land.

Mist rose faintly among the forest, and the silhouettes of Shi Feng and another fade in and out within the mist. Sunlight streamed through the leaves overhead, casting a kaleidoscope of light that decorated the woods. At a glance, they seemed to be in a dreamlike fairyland.

Shi Feng was still cultivating, while the white-clad noble, Jin Mo, had long since had his bonfire extinguished, leaving behind a pair of dampened wood charcoals from the dense fog. His right hand still propped up his chin, but his beautiful face now sported slightly squinted eyes; he had fallen asleep unknowingly during the night, softly snoring.

At that moment, Shi Feng’s eyes suddenly snapped open, and he shot forward toward Jin Mo with tremendous speed.

"Eh?" At the same time, Jin Mo’s body jolted awake. As he was just opening his eyes, he suddenly saw Shi Feng flying toward him.

"You! What do you think you’re doing!" Jin Mo exclaimed in panic as he watched Shi Feng hurtling toward him. Instinctively, Jin Mo crossed his arms over his chest like a woman, concealing his chest.

However, Jin Mo’s cry did not cause Shi Feng’s figure to pause for even a moment. In an instant, Shi Feng arrived in front of him, but quickly went behind him.

"What’s going on?" Jin Mo, who had thought Shi Feng was about to indecently assault him, suddenly saw Shi Feng pass by him and then move behind him. Jin Mo turned swiftly to follow Shi Feng’s movement.

Shi Feng was standing behind him, and it was then that Jin Mo saw a grey wolf, as large as a cow, diving down from mid-air.

The wolf bore a fierce face, its claws outstretched and mouth wide open, revealing sharp and intimidating fangs. The sunlight reflected off them, casting a cold, gleaming light.

"He’s saving me!" When Jin Mo saw the wolf pounce down, he realized that it had been aiming for him. Thinking back to how Shi Feng had flown toward him and was now standing behind him, Jin Mo knew he had misunderstood.

Looking down at his hands still covering his chest, and remembering the words he had hurled at Shi Feng just moments before, Jin Mo’s hands slowly dropped away, but his cheeks were already flushed. A look of embarrassment crossed his beautiful face.

The wolf continued its ferocious descent, and Shi Feng looked up, his right hand swiftly reaching out to grasp the wolf’s face. With a "boom," a weirdly enchanting blood-colored blaze burst forth from Shi Feng’s hand.

"Roar! Roar!" Pitiful howls of pain emanated from Shi Feng’s grasp. Underneath the blood-colored blaze, the wolf’s head was instantly ignited. The fiery flames quickly spread to the wolf’s massive body, engulfing the entire creature and resulting in a small sea of crimson fire in mid-air.

Jin Mo stared blankly at the small sea of fire in the sky. The frighteningly large wolf had lunged menacingly at him. The thought of the wolf’s ferocious attack still sent shivers down his spine. Had it not been for Shi Feng, the outcome was unimaginable!

Then, Jin Mo’s gaze shifted to the tall, dark silhouette. When he looked upon this figure, Jin Mo’s frayed nerves quickly calmed. At that moment, he felt a strange sensation as if with this tall, dark silhouette around, no matter what happened, he would feel secure.

"Thank you! Thank you," Jin Mo spoke up, expressing his gratitude to Shi Feng.

The small patch of Blood-colored Blaze in the sky curled towards Shi Feng’s palm, quickly disappearing entirely into his grasp.

Shi Feng slowly turned around, gazing at that face that could bring disaster to a nation and said, "For a Nine-star Martial Sect Realm Martial Artist, you’re awfully dull. You don’t even notice when an enemy who wants your life is approaching. You’d better go home early. Someone like you is too dangerous out here."

Truly, this one was a flower fully sheltered within a greenhouse. His Martial Arts Realm must have been built entirely on a vast accumulation of resources.

"People! People! People didn’t want it this way either." Upon hearing Shi Feng’s words, Jin Mo’s face filled with grievance as her lips pouted, and it looked as though she was about to burst into tears at any moment.

"What’s the matter with you now?" Seeing Jin Mo’s face full of grievance, Shi Feng said somewhat helplessly, as if he had bullied her.

Wasn’t he just speaking to her that way for her own good?

"People were just trying to thank you, and you actually said that about people!" Jin Mo’s face remained full of grievance as she looked at Shi Feng and spoke.

"Alright, alright, I won’t say it anymore." Shi Feng said with a bitter smile, feeling more and more like he was facing a weepy little girl. But in the brief daze before he began to console her, Shi Feng really had mistaken him for a weepy little girl.

Then, Shi Feng asked again, "Where is your home? How about I take you back?"

As soon as she heard "go home," Jin Mo immediately revealed a panicked expression, as if she had heard something terrifying, and hurriedly refused, "No! I don’t want to go home! No! No! No!"

This was quite intriguing. Just what kind of home did he have? But seeing his fair and tender appearance, with a healthy complexion and rosy cheeks, he didn’t seem like someone who was suffering at home. His life must be quite good.

"The day has already dawned; it’s time to leave this place. Where do you plan to go?" Shi Feng said.

Jin Mo quickly calmed down again, her brows slightly furrowed as if deep in thought, and then she shook her head slowly at Shi Feng and said, "Me! I don’t know where to go! How about this, I’ll just follow you temporarily. Wherever you go, I’ll go! But if we run into bad people who want to catch me, you must protect me."

"Follow me? Protect you?" Shi Feng said, "If you’re following me and want my protection, it seems like I don’t get much out of it. Give me a reason to protect you."

"Hee hee!" Hearing Shi Feng’s words, Jin Mo suddenly flashed a smile that bloomed like a beautiful, radiant flower, "I know you’re a good person, you naturally have a heart for injustice, a desire to protect the weak, and..."

"Wait! Wait a moment!" Before Jin Mo could continue to flatter and plead with Shi Feng, he quickly interrupted with an outstretched hand, "I still remember that last night, in your eyes, I was a bad guy who kills without reason. How did I suddenly become a good person?

Plus, you also said yesterday that you were not a weakling, that you’re very powerful, and can even battle above your Martial Venerable Realm!"
