Chapter 320: Chapter 320

Ding Fan slowly opened his eyes after an unknown length of time.

By then, the sky outside was already bright. The dazzling sunlight streamed in through the cave entrance, shining on Ding Fan's face, causing him some discomfort as he adjusted.

After a night's breathing exercise, the poison inside his body had been completely expelled. However, Ding Fan still harbored a grudge against the poison; were it not for his cultivation, he might very well be dead beyond doubt.

Ding Fan tried to sit up and only then realized he was being held from behind by someone.

Ding Fan looked down at the slender, delicate hands resembling onions and breathed in a light fragrance akin to that of orchids. He quickly remembered the beauty he had rescued the day before.

Could it be that she was holding him to stay warm?

Ding Fan remembered feeling like he had fallen into an ice cellar, vaguely recalling in his dreams that Ruoran had held him close. Perhaps when he couldn't bear the cold, that girl called Xian Shui warmed him with her own body temperature.

While Ding Fan was lost in his thoughts, perhaps feeling him wake up, Xian Shui who was behind him, hurriedly sat up. She was very concerned and leaned over to check on Ding Fan.

At that moment, their movements were quite intimate, with Xian Shui's upper body pressing down on Ding Fan. She leaned over, their breaths audible to each other.

Appreciating the beauty at such close range, even Ding Fan felt his breathing become constrained.

The day before had been dim, and Ding Fan hadn't taken a good look at Xian Shui. Now, facing each other closely, Ding Fan took his time to examine her.

Xian Shui had a pair of beautiful, autumn-bright eyes, clear and pure. Her nose was delicately small, adorned with a pair of tender pink lips, resembling a lotus flower emerging from the water, inciting an urge to peck at them irresistibly.

The girl exhaled a breath as fragrant as orchid, the scent of a young girl stimulating Ding Fan, sending a wave of heat through his belly for a moment.

The girl, not thinking much of it, touched Ding Fan's head and then seemed to relax, breathing out in relief, "I'm so glad, your head doesn't feel as icy as it did yesterday..."

The girl said and glanced at Ding Fan.

Ding Fan gave the girl a faint smile, thinking about how considerate she had been to stay by his side the night before as he expelled the poison.

At the moment, the girl suddenly realized she was half-lying on Ding Fan. She hadn't noticed before, but now, with Ding Fan looking at her that way, she immediately felt unbearably shy.

Xian Shui then tried to get up from on top of Ding Fan. However, because her arm had gone numb from being under his weight, she couldn't get up immediately and once again collapsed onto him.

Xian Shui felt even more embarrassed, her face turning as red as if it could bleed.

Xian Shui was lying on top of Ding Fan, and he felt it wasn't right to move. The girl's delicate body was not something to be touched casually, especially after she had used her body heat to save him the previous night. How could he possibly make light of that?

For a time, the atmosphere inside the cave became even more ambiguous, with Xian Shui lying on top of Ding Fan and unable to move for a short while, and Ding Fan also unable to get her off him...

This intimate position continued for over thirty seconds until Xian Shui slowly crawled off Ding Fan. Both of them were feeling bashful, and for a moment, neither of them spoke.

"Where are those villains you spoke of?" Just then, a somewhat domineering voice suddenly rang from outside.

Upon hearing this voice, the previously blushing Xian Shui suddenly stiffened. "Mingchuan Uncle-Master!"

"Mingchuan Uncle-Master, I'm here!" Xian Shui yelled toward the cave entrance.

After calling out, Xian Shui turned her head with a happy expression towards Ding Fan. "Benefactor, my uncle-master and his colleagues came to find me. You saved me, Mingchuan Uncle-Master will definitely thank you properly."

Ding Fan smiled but said nothing.

Outside, upon hearing Xian Shui's cry for help, several figures quickly flitted over and surrounded the cave entrance.

"Mingchuan Uncle-Master..."—Xian Shui immediately walked out.

At that moment, a man clad in a Taoist robe with a goatee stood solemnly outside the cave, and beside him was the handsome man who had been with Xian Shui yesterday.

"You still have the face to be alive..." Mingchuan with the goatee frowned at Xian Shui.

Xian Shui was stunned; she hadn't expected her sect's uncle-master to greet her not with concern but with such hurtful words...

"Mingchuan Uncle-Master, I haven't done anything wrong..."

Xian Shui wanted to argue, but before she could finish, Mingchuan beside her snorted coldly.

"For a man, losing his integrity is the worst; for a woman, losing her chastity is the worst... do you still not understand what you did wrong?" said Mingchuan.

Losing integrity? Losing chastity?

Xian Shui's face immediately turned red, realizing that Mingchuan Uncle-Master had misunderstood something about her.

"Shishu, I didn't..."

"Enough, let me ask you, where are the six people who stole the Exotic Treasure yesterday?" Mingcuan directly cut off Xian Shui's words and asked.

"Those people, had already been directly slain by my benefactor..." Xian Shui didn't hide anything and said.

"Slain? Benefactor?" Mingcuan's brows furrowed again, then he directly looked behind Xian Shui.

At that moment, Ding Fan slowly walked out from the mouth of the cave and stood there.

"This is the benefactor who saved me. Those bad men wanted to bully me, and they were all slain by my benefactor," explained Xian Shui.

"Xian Shui, where were you sleeping last night?" Just then, Xian Shui's senior brother suddenly asked.

Xian Shui didn't want to pay attention to her senior brother, given that, when those bad men had bullied her, her brother had chosen to abandon her and run away.

However, now Uncle Mingcuan was also looking at her, so she felt compelled to answer.

"I was in this cave last night."

"So that means last night, you and this wild man were staying in the same cave?" asked Xian Shui's senior brother. Google seaʀᴄh 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖•𝗇𝗲𝘁

Xian Shui was startled, and the statement spoken by her senior brother felt awkward and forced "Benefactor had been severely poisoned, so I stayed to take care of him... Nothing happened between us."

"Enough. This isn't the place to discuss these trifles." At this moment, Mingcuan directly interrupted Xian Shui and then looked toward Ding Fan.

"I heard you slaughtered the West Mountain Six Princes?" Mingchuan asked, looking down upon Ding Fan.

"I was the one who killed them," Ding Fan's brow slightly furrowed, as the other's attitude irked him. He had saved their Sect Disciple, yet they couldn't even utter a word of thanks. Instead, they were acting all high and mighty.

"So the Crimson Flame Fire Frog is on you as well?" Mingcuan asked.

"Whether the Crimson Flame Fire Frog is with me or not, it has nothing to do with you," Ding Fan said indifferently.

The rule of the stronger preying on the weaker, they couldn't protect the Crimson Flame Fire Frog initially, and it was only after that Ding Fan took it back from the West Mountain Six Princes that it really had nothing to do with them anymore.

"The Crimson Flame Fire Frog is a treasure of our Sect, and if it's with you, I advise you to hand it over quickly. Otherwise, don't blame me when I turn hostile," Mingcuan said, his face cold.

Ding Fan snorted coldly, "What, you want to make a move now?"

"Fuck! You defiled my junior sister, just for that alone, I fucking can't tolerate you!" Suddenly, at that moment, Xian Shui's senior brother lunged forward.

Xian Shui's senior brother swung his longsword, creating a flourish of Sword Blossoms, and directly aimed the blade at Ding Fan's throat.

The attack was fierce; he was evidently going all out from the get-go.

In the past, when faced with the West Mountain Six Princes, this senior brother of Xian Shui had been so scared that he bowed and kowtowed. Now, backed by their numerical advantage, he dared to act tough in front of Ding Fan.

How could Ding Fan possibly indulge him in this?

Ding Fan slightly sidestepped the incoming longsword, then without any semblance of mercy, Ding Fan raised his foot.

The kick was powerful and heavy. Xian Shui's senior brother had no time to react; suddenly, his body flew backward as if shot from a cannon.

After flying more than ten meters, Xian Shui's senior brother heavily crashed to the ground.

Spurting out a mouthful of fresh blood, he then passed out.

Xian Shui's senior brother had never taken care of her, and upon arriving here, didn't feel any remorse but instead blamed Xian Shui for losing her chastity. Now, he had even attacked Ding Fan with lethal intent.

For such a person, Ding Fan could hardly be expected to show mercy. Hypocrites are often more dangerous than outright villains.

Seeing Ding Fan kick Xian Shui's senior brother away with one foot, Mingcuan's face turned ugly.

Regardless of anything else, that senior brother of Xian Shui had a cultivation of Human Level Sixth or Seventh Grade, and yet, in front of Ding Fan, he had been kicked half to death.

This was excessively brutal!

"Our Jiujiang Sect is a Great Gate Sect. You took our Sect treasure without reason and even injured our Sect Disciple. Are you saying that you don't regard the Jiujiang Sect at all?" Mingcuan said coldly.

"I've never heard of Jiujiang Sect, and as for your Magical Treasure, I haven't snatched it from your disciples... That man was kicked by me. If you want revenge, feel free to come at me," Ding Fan said nonchalantly.

"Kid, you're being too arrogant," Mingcuan said in a deep tone.

"If I remember correctly, I was the one who saved your disciples first, and you didn't even thank me before you attacked me. I wonder, who exactly is being too arrogant here!" Ding Fan said with a disdainful tone.
