Chapter 2542 - 2543: Nangong Xue

Chapter 2542: Chapter 2543: Nangong Xue

Lin Chen went outside to pick some herbs, then crushed them.

Afterwards, he tore his clothes, and placed the herbs on the torn strips of cloth.

Then, he opened up the girl’s clothes to expose the bloody wounds inside.

Some of the girl’s wounds were in more private areas, so while applying the medicine, he turned his head to avoid looking at her private parts.

Lin Chen was very aware that this was particularly important for a girl, and if she found out, she would be deeply embarrassed.

After doing all this, Lin Chen went out again to get a wild chicken, roasted it, ate his fill, and left half for the girl to eat when she wakes up the next day.

Then he lay down on the straw beside her and fell asleep.

The next day, when Lin Chen woke up, he felt a chill on his neck. He opened his eyes and found a Longsword placed there.

Even without looking, he knew that the owner of the Longsword must be the girl beside him.

Although the girl was awake, she still appeared very weak, her face was pale, and her hand holding the Longsword was trembling continuously.

Lin Chen was very clear that the girl might attack him at any moment.

Facing the proximity of death, Lin Chen remained calm and collected, looking up at the girl and yawning, as if he had not fully woken up yet.

"I say, how can you be like this? Do you even know that if it weren’t for me, you’d already be dead."

"My life is my own, and I didn’t ask you to meddle," she retorted.

The girl did not feel grateful for being saved; instead, she seemed quite angry because she knew where her injuries were located.

Every time she thought about this boy possibly having seen her entire body, her anger flared up.

"Miss, I hope you don’t misunderstand, I haven’t looked at your body, and I’m not interested in you anyway."

Lin Chen leaned back on the straw, watching the Longsword in her hand, and then reached out with two fingers to grip the sword edge.

He intended to move the Longsword away, but after a while, the girl pressed it harder against his neck.

"Stop trying to sweet-talk," she said.

It’s undeniable that, by common standards, this girl is a beauty, with a graceful figure and an elegant posture, even her face was covered in dust, yet it couldn’t hide her stunning looks.

"What’s wrong with this world? Good deeds go unrewarded, obviously I saved you, yet now you want to kill me. If that’s the case, just go ahead and do it."

Lin Chen lay there, showing a rather indifferent attitude because he knew that the more he feared death, the higher the chance she would act.

That’s how many things are; when you deliberately advance in one direction, you often end up further from it.

"Do you really think I won’t dare to kill you? Just because you saved me doesn’t mean I’m grateful. I’m telling you, you can’t claim any favor from Nangong Xue."

After saying this, Nangong Xue held her Longsword, lunging at his throat, but before it reached Lin Chen’s throat, she suddenly collapsed again.

Lin Chen looked at the fainted Nangong Xue, shook his head, and sighed. This girl is truly reckless.

She had been deeply poisoned earlier, yet dared to exert herself now, it’s like she doesn’t want to live.

If it were before, Lin Chen might have left her alone, given that he had kindly saved her, and she still acted against him.

But now, with changing times, his perspective has altered, prompting him to move to the girl’s side.

Lin Chen once again used his skills to heal the girl. After some time, she opened her eyes and looked at Lin Chen.

At this moment, the previous immense hatred had vanished from her eyes, replaced by a sense of calmness.

"Why do you keep saving me?"

Lin Chen chuckled.

"Whether or not I save you, you can’t control that. Besides, I believe it doesn’t really concern you much either." Lin Chen looked at the girl in front of him, not answering her question, leaving her speechless.

After a while, the girl held her Longsword, slowly stood up from the ground, and turned to leave.

Lin Chen saw this but didn’t stop her. As she reached the door, he casually said, "If you don’t want to die right now, I advise you to stay here. If you go out, you won’t survive long."

Every word Lin Chen just said was the truthful fact, without any joking.

The girl initially wanted to continue out, but hearing his words made her halt abruptly.

She then sat down where she was.

"Fine, I’ll trust you one more time," she said after, settling where she was, closing her eyes without speaking further, she seemed cold as ice, causing him to shake his head and sigh.

Upon reflection, he realized that his Xiao Ying was always better!

She would never behave so coldly in front of him.

"What is your name?" the girl suddenly asked.

"Lin Chen! And you?"

The girl felt slightly annoyed; she had already told him her name, yet this boy didn’t remember.

"My name is Nangong Xue, didn’t I already tell you?"

Lin Chen sensed the girl’s anger.

This girl is likely used to standing out, drawing admiration from others. No matter who it is, they all praise her greatly.

But who knew, when she met him, he would act with such indifference towards her.

Last night, Lin Chen went out once more, brought back a deer, and lit a fire to roast it.

After some time, the cave was filled with waves of fragrance, making the girl’s stomach growl.

The girl swallowed, suddenly feeling somewhat regretful at her reaction to the aroma.

"Smells really good!"
