Chapter 779: Chapter 779

Having just swallowed the pill, Ding Fan felt much better.

For a moment, Ding Fan couldn't help but admire Ye Tianshi's alchemical skills; although the man was indifferent, his prowess in alchemy was indeed formidable.

"Bring that girl and follow me," Ye Tianshi said to Ding Fan.

Ye Tianshi realized that coercing or intimidating Ding Fan to become his disciple was unlikely to work, so he decided to approach the situation more gradually.

Xu Tu slowly advanced...

Ding Fan glanced at Lan Qier beside him. If it were just himself, he could have fought the man to the death.

But with Lan Qier here, any plan to perish together would inevitably involve her too.

After pondering for a moment, Ding Fan walked over and carried the unconscious Lan Qier horizontally in his arms. For now, he could only be practical and wait for another opportunity.

Ye Tianshi led the way, with Ding Fan following behind, carrying Lan Qier.

The trio hadn't walked long before a drizzling rain began to fall from the sky, growing heavier until the entire landscape was blurred.

With the weather making travel impossible, they were fortunate to find a nearby wooden hut used by forest rangers.

The three of them entered the hut to take shelter from the rain.

The hut was small, only about ten square meters, and simply furnished with a bed, a table, and a chair.

The hut appeared to have been recently repaired, so it could just barely keep out the wind and rain.

Upon entering the hut, Ye Tianshi paid no attention to Ding Fan and Lan Qier; he sat on the wooden bed and closed his eyes to cultivate.

Ding Fan knew that Ye Tianshi was not resting but using his cultivation to dry his damp clothes.

Ding Fan had once read about such a cultivation method in an ancient book; people used to cultivate on Cold Jade Beds.

Such a Cold Jade Bed was made entirely of cold jade. Lying on it, one had to constantly cultivate to resist the Cold Qi. Over time, as soon as one lay down, the body would automatically start resisting the cold, which was similar to what Ye Tianshi was doing now.

Using his Inner Strength, Ye Tianshi continuously resisted the moisture in the air. While damp clothes and a Cold Jade Bed were not comparable, the clothes would soon be dried by Ye Tianshi's efforts...

At this moment, Ding Fan didn't pay attention to Ye Tianshi and laid Lan Qier on the chair.

By then, Lan Qier's delicate body had been thoroughly soaked by the rain, revealing her beautiful figure before Ding Fan.

Lan Qier's face was pale; she had already sustained significant internal injuries, and if they didn't expel the moisture from her body soon, she was bound to suffer long-term effects.

However, with Ye Tianshi also in the hut, Ding Fan felt it inappropriate to change Lan Qier's clothes. With no other choice, he decided to do as Ye Tianshi was doing and help expel the dampness from her.

Immediately, Ding Fan took out a Second Grade Foundation Building Pill and placed it into Lan Qier's mouth. Then, he propped her up and continuously stimulated his True Qi to help expel the moisture from her body.

Lan Qier was dreaming that she had fallen into an icy pit, shivering from the cold. But as the sun rose, her body gradually warmed...

Just at that moment, a thunderclap sounded directly overhead.

Lan Qier was startled and then opened her eyes abruptly.

It was only now that Lan Qier realized that everything had been a dream.

She quickly looked around and found herself in a wooden house. Outside, the wind and rain were fierce, with thunder rolling...

Lan Qier recalled the situation before she had lost consciousness.

At that time, after coming down from Nanfeng Mountain, Ding Fan had directed them to go one way, while he went another.

Lan Qier had felt that something was off with Ding Fan, so she decided to follow him and see.

Although Ding Fan's speed was astonishing and beyond Lan Qier's capability to keep up, given her cultivation level, she had a secret skill unknown to others.

That was, she could track someone by following the scent, Qi, and small clues they left behind.

When Lan Qier found Ding Fan, he was being beaten by Ye Tianshi until blood spewed from his mouth.

Lan Qier had always thought of Ding Fan as a cold-hearted person, but seeing that he had drawn the enemy away to protect them moved her deeply.

Moved, Lan Qier stepped forward.

Thinking of this, Lan Qier remembered that later Ye Tianshi had struck her until she passed out.

"Ding Fan... Senior Ding!" Lan Qier quickly stood up.

If she was here, then what could Ding Fan's condition be like now?

As soon as Lan Qier stood up, she saw Ding Fan collapsed in front of her, his clothes soaking wet, his complexion pale, and blood still on his lips.

Lan Qier's clothes were quite dry, whereas Ding Fan's were completely moist.

"He dried your clothes with his Inner Strength to save you..." Ye Tianshi said softly, sitting on the bed without speaking up till then.

"Why go through all that effort? Just strip and dry the clothes..."

Lan Qier, not minding Ye Tianshi at that moment, promptly began to remove the wet clothes from Ding Fan's body.

When Lan Qier was practicing Ancient Martial Arts, her master had told her that once the cold Qi invaded the body, even a Great Luo Immortal couldn't cure it.

In no time at all, Lan Qier had removed all the wet clothes from Ding Fan's body.

Lan Qier, having reached this age, was touching a man's body for the first time; her breath quickened involuntarily.

"It's a pity we can't make a fire in this wooden house to drive away the cold... such a pity..." Ye Tianshi said regretfully several times.

Lan Qier scanned the wooden house, which was indeed too small for building a fire.

Lan Qier frowned, clearly unsure what to do next.

"Silly girl... oh, silly girl..."

Ye Tianshi shook his head and stood up, then his figure flickered and had already disappeared inside the wooden house.

Lan Qier was startled as she looked out from the window of the wooden house.

At that moment, Ye Tianshi was running rapidly towards the distance.

The raindrops had not even touched his body before they were splashed away, so the drifting heavy rain didn't even touch him at all.

Once Ye Tianshi had left, only Ding Fan and Lan Qier were left here.

Lan Qier glanced at the pale-faced Ding Fan. She then directly tore off a dog skin that was drying on the wall of the wooden house.

Lan Qier wrapped Ding Fan with the dog skin, then she sat down, holding Ding Fan tightly in her arms, thinking of using her body to help him ward off the cold.

This was the first time Lan Qier was holding a man . Although she was initially nervous, feeling the faint fragrance from Ding Fan's body and the tranquil aura soothed her.

Lan Qier's heart quieted down too.

From her angle at that moment, Ding Fan looked very handsome.

His resolute cheeks, his clean face…

At that moment, Lan Qier suddenly felt an urge to kiss Ding Fan.

Upon realizing she had such a thought, Lan Qier's face immediately turned red. Latest content publıshed on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⟡𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦⟡𝘯𝘦𝘵

A girl actually wanting to steal a kiss from a boy, could she be lovesick?

But although she felt it was wrong, those obedient thoughts grew stronger…

Just a kiss... It shouldn't be anything, right...

Lan Qier glanced outside the wooden house where the heavy rain was still pouring, not showing any signs of stopping. She also sneakily checked that Ding Fan was still not awake.

At that moment, Lan Qier slowly leaned forward and gently kissed Ding Fan's lips.

Lan Qier suddenly felt this sensation was quite marvelous. It was just a touch of lips, but she felt like she had been struck by electricity, a tingling sensation spreading through her body.

"Cough, cough, cough…" Right then, Ding Fan coughed. Following that, he slowly opened his eyes.

Lan Qier hadn't expected Ding Fan to awaken at that moment. Her cheeks instantly flushed with embarrassment.

She had just kissed him; would Ding Fan have noticed?

Ding Fan slowly opened his eyes and saw Lan Qier, whose face had turned redder. At that moment, he found himself lying in Lan Qier's arms.

Breathing in, Ding Fan caught the scent of a young girl's fragrance.

Ding Fan looked down at his body. At that moment, his wet clothes had already been removed, and he was covered with the dog skin…

"Thank you…" Ding Fan knew it must have been Lan Qier, worried about him catching cold, who had removed his damp clothes.

It was quite impressive that a child could manage to do this.

"It's nothing…" Lan Qier was holding back her embarrassment at that moment.

Because she was worried Ding Fan knew about her stealing a kiss, Lan Qier looked into Ding Fan's eyes, trying to discern if he knew anything…

"I am fine now," Ding Fan told Lan Qier.

Lan Qier was taken aback and quickly realized she was still holding Ding Fan. She let go of him hurriedly, jumping to the side like a little rabbit.

At that moment, Ding Fan stood up, his body only clad in his briefs, having removed everything else.

Ding Fan didn't reach for those wet clothes but pulled out a set of clothes from his storage ring.

Lan Qier quickly turned to look outside through the window.

Ding Fan swiftly dressed himself.

However, due to their previous embrace to keep warm, the cabin was now filled with an awkward silence.

Ding Fan was striving to recall why he had passed out.

He remembered clearing the damp cold from Lan Qier when suddenly a strong wind blew over…

Ding Fan realized it must have been Ye Tianshi who sabotaged them.

Ye Tianshi was not inside the wooden house at the moment. Lan Qier had warmed him with her body, and now the awkwardness seemed to be all Ye Tianshi's doing.

"Cough, cough…" Ding Fan coughed again at that moment.

Having confronted Ye Tianshi earlier, Ding Fan's injuries were not minor, and later, using True Qi to help Lan Qier expel the cold dampness had worsened his condition.

A mouthful of fresh blood spurted directly from Ding Fan.

"Ding… Ding Fan, are you alright?" Lan Qier, seeing Ding Fan spew blood again, showed a worried face.

After all, Ding Fan had been severely injured by Ye Tianshi while protecting them.

"I'm still okay…" Ding Fan, supporting himself on the wooden house, said with difficulty.

"You're spitting blood, how can you say you're okay…" Lan Qier looked anxious.

Even though Lan Qier was very worried, she felt helpless at that moment, unsure of what to do…

Just then, the door of the wooden house was opened again, and a group of people walked in.

Ding Fan looked at the people coming in from outside and slightly frowned. These were the people from the Upper Xuan Sect whom he had encountered before entering Nanfeng Mountain…

Yang Baichuan and Master Qingchuan…
