Chapter 47: An Unexpected Pursuit

Watching her couldn’t move her body, he showed no intention of volunteering to help. Only after she call out him, he turned his head slightly.

"Are you sure?"

Su Qingxue’s face became even reddened, but still nodded her head.

"I can’t move my hands properly."

"Alright."

Long Feng slowly walked over. His gaze swept over her beautiful face again, as he took the medicine from her hand and gently tore open a piece of the clothing on her chest.

He wrenched the neckline open, exposing her collarbone and the soft rise of her chest, where her erratic breathing made the deep wound bleed faster.

"I am going to clean the wound."

After giving a reminder, he poured some pale green liquid from a jade bottle and slowly wiped the bloodstains near the wound.

Su Qingxue turned her face toward the other side, refusing to look at him, but her cheeks became increasingly red.

Her heart began beating faster. Her body stiffened whenever his fingers touched the injured area.

But she didn’t notice the faint smirk that appeared on Long Feng’s face.

Seeing the edges of her wound turn black, he let out a long sigh. His plan was unfolding very well. He had deliberately asked Puppet Wang to use his poison in the attack so that her condition would worsen.

Did she think it was her luck to thrown outside the formation?

No, this was all part of his plan. He was the one who told Puppet Wang to launch that kind of attack.

And as for why it hit only the chest, so how else could such a situation have been created?

After carefully cleaning the wound, he poured more white powder from another jade bottle. Stimulated by the powder, her eyebrows knitted slightly, and a low moan of pain escaped her delicate lips.

"Don’t worry, it will be fine soon."

Meanwhile, Long Feng’s focus wasn’t entirely on her treatment. Her neck was quite exposed at this angle, allowing him to see down the front of her bust.

He found himself staring at her cleavage, mesmerized by the sight of her perky breasts.

’Although not big, but look very tempting.’

Resisting the urge to push further, he kept his touch teasing, just close enough to stir something within her but not enough to cross the line.

He could feel her tension, the way she stiffened beneath his touch, her breath hitching just slightly.

Smiling slightly, Long Feng sprinkled the medicine over the wound and then took out some cloth for carefully wrapping up her wound.

"Alright, the wound is treated. The rest is just internal injuries that you have to handle yourself." Clapping his hands, Long Feng stepped back and smiled.

"Thank you." Leaning against the wall, Su Qingxue suddenly smiled at him. That smile was truly peerless...

"You don’t need to thank me."

The cave suddenly became quiet. Neither of them spoke. The only sound was the faint wind passing through the entrance.

The atmosphere gradually became somewhat stiff.

"Why were you in the Blood Eagle Gang’s territory in the first place?"

Long Feng finally broke the silence.

But his question made Su Qingxue’s expression changed. The faint smile on her face disappeared.

She lowered her head. For a moment, she didn’t answer.

Long Feng watched her quietly. He already knew the answer. But he still needed her to tell him herself.

After a long silence, Su Qingxue finally spoke. Her voice was low.

"We came here because of a mission from the sect. The Blood Eagle Gang had committed too many crimes. The sect decided that they had to be eliminated."

She paused. "We thought we were prepared enough, but we were wrong."

A bitter smile appeared on her face, as she clenched her fists.

"We didn’t expect them to have such a powerful sealing formation nor another Nascent Soul Realm expert to appear there. As the result, both of my companions had died."

Her eyes gradually became wet. She quickly turned her face away, trying to hide her tears.

Long Feng remained silent for a moment. Then he moved closer.

"You don’t have to blame yourself."

Su Qingxue shook her head.

"If I had been stronger..."

"You were already fighting against an entire gang." Long Feng interrupted gently. "You survived. That’s already enough."

Su Qingxue remained silent. A tear finally slipped down her cheek.

Long Feng raised his hand and placed it gently on her shoulder.

"Rest for now."

His voice was calm. "You’ve been through enough today."

Su Qingxue didn’t push his hand away. After a moment, she nodded.

"Thank you."

"We’ll stay here until your injuries improve enough for you to move."

Su Qingxue looked toward him.

"Alright."

She slowly closed her eyes and leaned against the stone wall. Long Feng also sat nearby. His expression remained calm. But deep inside his heart, he couldn’t help but laugh out.

Everything was proceeding exactly according to his plan.

Two days passed quietly inside the hidden cave. During those two days, Su Qingxue’s injuries had improved considerably.

Although she still hadn’t fully recovered, the worst of her wounds had already begun to heal. Her spiritual energy was also slowly returning to normal.

As for Long Feng, he spent most of his time cultivating.

The peaceful atmosphere made the two of them gradually become more familiar with each other.

They weren’t close enough to speak without restraint, but after spending two days together in the same cave, an unspoken understanding had formed between them.

Especially when, under the guise of medical care, he repeatedly examined the wound on her chest. His gaze and hands lingering over her most intimate areas.

This way, they peacefully spent two days resting in the cave.

On the third day, Long Feng hunted down a wild wolf and brought its body back to the cave.

Entering the cave, he say Su Qingxue sitting idly on a stone slab, resting her chin on her hand. Seeing him return safely, she couldn’t help but smile slightly.

"You’re back."

Long Feng nodded and took out the wild wolf body. He then lit a fire and began to roast its meat carefully.

They still had Fasting Pills in their storage rings, which could eliminate the need for food for several days. However, those pills were completely tasteless.

After eating them for two days, they were already tired of them. That is why many cultivators still love to eat delicious food, even after becoming quite powerful that they don’t even need to eat.

Also, she had been taking healing pills continuously over the past two days. Although the pills were helping her recover, relying on them excessively could leave hidden problems.

"Are you feeling better?" While working, he casually asked her.

Su Qingxue stood up slightly, bringing with her a faint fragrance, and came to his side. She frowned slightly and sighed.

"Other injuries are not serious, but the effect of that nascent soul expert’s attack has still not gone away."

"Let’s hide here for now; they shouldn’t be able to search this far."

Long Feng cut the meat into small pieces and roast it well on the fire. He turned his head to look at her beside him.

Since she had a heavy wound on her chest, she was now wearing a loose robe. This dress accentuated her well-proportioned, exquisite figure, giving her an additional charm.

With each delicate step, a section of her snow-white calf was faintly visible, quite enchanting.

Sitting down gracefully, her beautiful eyes fixed on him, who was constantly sprinkling various seasonings on the grilled meat.

The aroma of roasted meat slowly filled the cave.

The brief conversation slowly drew to a close. The two of them fell into a silent atmosphere until Long Feng handed the grilled meat to her, after which she simply nodded gently to him.

The two sat beside the fire and ate together. For a moment, the cave was unusually peaceful.

"I’ll cultivate for a while."

After finishing the grilled meat in his hand, Long Feng stood up and stretched. He greeted her, then sat cross-legged on a nearby stone platform and began to practice.

Watching him begin to Cultivate, Su Qingxue also stood up and went to heal her wound slowly.

Long Feng slowly circulated his cultivation technique. The spiritual energy within his body began flowing through his meridians.

After breaking through to the Golden Core Realm, his cultivation speed had increased considerably.

Now, after continuous accumulate, he could clearly feel that his cultivation had reached the peak of the second level of the Golden Core Realm, very close to the third level.

But their peaceful days didn’t last long. They were suddenly interrupted by the sound of approaching footsteps.

Rustle!

Rustle!

Long Feng’s expression suddenly changed and looked toward the entrance. Voices of many people could be heard from the distant forest.

Su Qingxue’s face immediately became serious as she recognized them. Her heart tightened.

"How did they find this place?"

Long Feng frowned slightly.

"We came quite deep into the mountains. I thought they wouldn’t be able to find us."

"My injuries haven’t recovered yet... it would be hard..."

She clenched her fists. Her expression became worried. She knew very well how powerful Han Tianyu was.

He was a sixth-level Golden Core Realm cultivator. And there were still many Blood Eagle Gang members with him. In her current condition, she couldn’t fight someone like him.

"Perhaps they’re more familiar with the terrain than we are. After all, such gang had lived in these mountains for many years." Long Feng remained silent for a moment.

Then he sighed, taking out his sword and gritted his teeth, "You stay here and don’t move. I’ll go out and lure them away."

"You... your strength... I should go instead." Seeing Long Feng turn to leave, Su Qingxue quickly stood up and said.
