15: Life is like a play, it all depends on acting
“Mm.”
“That’s good then, just keep up with us.”
Wang Feng turned around and ran back to Jiang Hanxi, still carrying the poopy Drilling Rat on his back.
“Fairy Sister, I’ll show you the way, you can clear a path for us.”
Wang Feng watched as Jiang Hanxi expressionlessly moved a little further away from him; the Drilling Rat on his back was indeed a bit smelly.
“Mm.”
Jiang Hanxi stood a short distance away, holding her Cold Sword, and responded.
Thus, the group began their search for a path. In fact, it wasn't so much a search as it was following the passage blocked by boulders.
With Jiang Hanxi destroying boulders one after another, the group quickly reached the entrance of the cave where they had first arrived.
Wang Feng looked at the somewhat high cave entrance above, which was at least four or five meters high.
But for them, jumping up shouldn't be a problem.
Wang Feng’s eyes darted around. “Fairy Sister, you go up first. It’s a bit inconvenient for me to carry the Drilling Rat.”
Jiang Hanxi didn't waste words. She tossed her sword onto the ground and ascended on it.
The few people from Liu Village present were stunned. Was this Condensation Spirit Realm?
Sword-riding flight, either her cultivation was very high, or the grade of that sword was very high.
“I’ll go first too. You all wait a moment before coming up.”
The six people from Liu Village were a bit confused by Wang Feng’s words. What did he mean by waiting a moment before going up?
But before they could speak, Wang Feng took a big leap and jumped up right behind Jiang Hanxi.
“Ding, Host, are you planning to…?”
“Just watch me operate, little brother. To capture a beauty's heart, you need to be a little ruthless.”
Wang Feng replied to the System in his mind. The System said nothing more, quietly waiting to watch the show.
The Gathering Spirit Realm Second Layer Tree Leopard watched Jiang Hanxi fly up, silently crouching down.
Its eyes were sharp, and the fur on its body, which resembled tree bark, bristled and became incredibly hard.
Whoosh! A gust of wind sounded. Jiang Hanxi was startled and prepared to counterattack with her Cold Sword.
At this moment, Wang Feng, like a fool under a debuff, rushed out.
“Watch out!!”
Jiang Hanxi could have blocked the Tree Leopard, but with Wang Feng blocking her, she could only pause her actions.
Wang Feng used the Drilling Rat as a shield, but the Tree Leopard’s claws were incredibly sharp.
They instantly pierced through the Drilling Rat’s body. Wang Feng felt a huge force, and reluctantly dropped the Drilling Rat.
The Tree Leopard wanted to deal with the woman who posed a greater threat to it first.
This was what it perceived most clearly in its danger sense; only this woman posed the greatest threat to it.
It swatted Wang Feng away, opened its large mouth, and shot out a vine, attacking Jiang Hanxi.
Bang! It struck not Jiang Hanxi, but Wang Feng, who had blocked in front of Jiang Hanxi.
The Tree Leopard hadn't expected this person to be so fast; he had just been swatted away, and now he was suddenly in front of it again.
Wang Feng, struck like that, also flew towards Jiang Hanxi, with a clearly visible large bloody mark on his back.
Jiang Hanxi’s expression changed as she looked at Wang Feng. Why was this person so foolish?
Looking at Wang Feng flying over, this time Jiang Hanxi didn't dodge. She reached out and grabbed Wang Feng.
Unexpectedly, Wang Feng’s body suddenly slumped down, collapsing onto her.
Fainted, even a fake faint was still a faint. Wang Feng was almost laughing in his heart.
This old maiden had never been with a man, how could she know a man's tricks?
Jiang Hanxi quickly placed Wang Feng on the ground, grabbed her Cold Sword, and slashed down at the vine that was flying towards her again.
Cold air followed the vine all the way into the Tree Leopard’s mouth.
It exploded with a bang, but apart from a small amount of frost, it was useless.
However, this was within Jiang Hanxi’s expectations.
She shook her Cold Sword, and an even stronger burst of cold air erupted.
How could the Cold Sword, which could severely wound even a Gathering Spirit Realm Ninth Layer, not injure a Gathering Spirit Realm Tree Leopard?
She held the Cold Sword in front of her chest, quickly wiped it with two fingers, and charged towards the Tree Leopard, stabbing it.
Jiang Hanxi’s speed was too fast, and the Tree Leopard found that the speed of its four limbs seemed to have decreased.
It could only charge at Jiang Hanxi, but it had underestimated the power of the Cold Sword.
The moment it made contact, with a bang, its entire leopard body was frozen solid, and the Cold Sword easily pierced into its forehead.
The Tree Leopard died instantly, without showing the shock and fear on its face.
Jiang Hanxi reached out and stored the Tree Leopard into her Divine Sea Space, then quickly turned back to Wang Feng’s side.
Looking at the ghastly wound on Wang Feng’s back.
Jiang Hanxi’s face, which was often as cold as ten-thousand-year-old ice, finally showed a hint of emotion.
A surge of cold air emanated from Jiang Hanxi’s hand and touched the large wound on Wang Feng’s back.
Wang Feng could endure it at first, but when he truly couldn't, he shivered uncontrollably from the cold.
His wound was numbed by the cold, and he couldn't feel any pain from it at all.
He only felt frozen stiff and numb, unable to feel anything.
Jiang Hanxi wasn't surprised to see Wang Feng shivering all over; it was a normal reaction.
At this moment, the six people from Liu Village, who had listened to Wang Feng’s words, jumped out of the cave.
As soon as they came out, they understood why the young man had told them to wait a moment before coming up.
A battle had definitely taken place here, judging by the wound on the young man’s body.
It could only be described as ghastly, deep into his flesh, with his skin torn open.
And the beautiful woman was treating him, or at least it seemed like treatment, the few of them weren't sure.
However, since the beautiful woman was traveling with the young man, she should be treating him.
After cleaning the wound on Wang Feng’s back, Jiang Hanxi stood up and said to them, “You all carry him. I still have some things to do.”
Wang Feng squinted his eyes, and while Jiang Hanxi turned around, he quickly opened them and winked at the few of them a few times.
The few of them understood, and their bodies, which had been perfectly fine, suddenly collectively spat out a mouthful of blood.
The most severe was the one with the severed arm; her severed arm suddenly gushed out a large amount of blood with a 'plop'.
It hurt so much that she wailed and groaned endlessly.
Jiang Hanxi’s face turned cold. Was she so foolish that she couldn't see these few people didn't want to carry Wang Feng?
You should at least spit blood one after another, but you all spat at once. Do you take her for a fool?
“If you don’t want to carry him, just say so. It’s a waste that he came all this way to save you!”
Jiang Hanxi’s extremely cold gaze stared at them as she spoke in a chilling tone.
The few of them looked at each other, extremely embarrassed, but the young man had signaled them to do this, so they naturally had to fulfill their part for this pair.
Jiang Hanxi no longer expected this group, whom she saw as ungrateful wolves, to carry Wang Feng.
She squatted down, grabbed Wang Feng’s hands, who was slumped on the ground, and slowly carried him onto her back.
Wang Feng’s injury was for her, so carrying him for a bit was fine.
Feeling Wang Feng still shivering on her back, Jiang Hanxi coldly swept her gaze over the six people from Liu Village.
She turned and left with Wang Feng on her back. If he hadn't traveled all this way to save them,
None of this would have happened. This boy was truly foolish, acting like a saint.
Even the monks in the Cultivation World weren't as compassionate and selfless as him.
The six people from Liu Village stood there looking at each other, scratching their heads. Now, for the sake of that young man, their impression was completely ruined.
“Ugh ah~! Don’t think about it, the sun is setting, hurry back to the village!”
The woman clutching her severed arm wailed and spoke with difficulty. Any later, and it would be too late.
