Chapter 509: Chapter 509 A Prophecy Fulfilled_1
At this mont, Zhou Jiui seed to realize sothing and suddenly turned her head back, only to find that she had wrongly accused the other person.
Greg Jensen was not only closing his eyes, but his body was also turned to the side, looking every bit the gentleman.
Zhou Jiui couldn’t help feeling a bit embarrassed, so she quickly added more firewood and returned to the darkness.
“Okay, you can open your eyes now.”
“Hmm.”
Greg Jensen opened his eyes and instinctively looked towards Zhou Jiui.
...
Zhou Jiui chided, “Don’t look!”
“It’s so dark, I wouldn’t be able to see even if I wanted to,” Greg Jensen defended.
Zhou Jiui thought about it and realized it was true, Greg Jensen was so close to the fire that while she could see him without a problem, he certainly couldn’t see her clearly.
With this in mind, she no longer took it to heart and instead asked, “How’s your body feeling?”
“Without ten days to half a month, I’m afraid it would be difficult to move freely.”
Greg Jensen didn’t hide the truth and continued, “I have several fractures, and several of my ridians are broken as well.”
“That serious?”
Zhou Jiui, although she had anticipated it, still felt sowhat shocked upon hearing this news.
Upon reaching the Master Realm, one’s physical fitness greatly improves, and the ability to recover is also much more formidable than that of an ordinary person.
But with the ridians broken, the ability to circulate True Qi normally was hindered, and naturally, the recovery rate was severely diminished.
Thinking about how the other had sustained such severe injuries and yet had given her the only Elixir, Zhou Jiui felt a tinge of guilt in her heart.
At the sa ti, her gaze towards Greg Jensen beca softer.
“I’m sorry, it’s my fault you’re in this state.”
Zhou Jiui spoke in a hoarse voice, “If you hadn’t given the Elixir…”
Greg Jensen waved his hand and laughed, “What else could I have done? My injuries are still manageable, at least I won’t die, but the injuries you suffered earlier were far worse than mine…”
As he spoke, he suddenly paused, shocked, “You were aware while you were unconscious?”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Jiui realized that she had let sothing slip and her face turned red once again.
Under normal circumstances, it would be fine, but given that both of them were without clothes at the mont, the atmosphere suddenly beca sowhat ambiguous.
She gave a quiet “Hmm” like the sound of a mosquito.
Greg Jensen silently laughed, attentively admiring Zhou Jiui’s body.
A regular person couldn’t see much in such a situation, but Greg Jensen was different; his keen senses were far beyond those of an average person.
Even in pitch-black surroundings where one couldn’t see their hand in front of their face, he could still see as usual, unaffected; what more now with the faint glow of firelight?
Zhou Jiui, seeing that he was still looking at her, felt sowhat shy despite knowing that he couldn’t see anything, and couldn’t help but remind him, “Don’t keep staring at like that.”
“Haha, it’s not like I can see anything…”
Greg Jensen chuckled and hesitated for a mont before turning his head to look at the fire.
Gurgle!
Zhou Jiui’s stomach suddenly let out a rumble, its call echoing far in the quiet and empty space.
“Hungry?”
“Mhm.”
Zhou Jiui’s face turned slightly red, seemingly feeling that her stomach rumbling at this ti was a bit inappropriate.
Greg Jensen smiled and said, “When I pulled you up just now, I saw what looked like fish in the river; why don’t you catch a few to roast and eat?”
“Really? I’ll go check it out.”
Zhou Jiui’s eyes imdiately lit up, she was just about to go to the river to catch fish when her body stiffened again, and she spoke in a slightly soft tone, “Can you… close your eyes first?”
“Oh, okay.”
Greg Jensen agreed and closed his eyes, leaning against a rock to continue resting.
Zhou Jiui waited a while and, seeing that he had no intention of opening his eyes, boldly made her way into the river.
“This… this still isn’t clear.”
Greg Jensen, his eyes still closed, said, “I saw so pine trees among those branches earlier. Find a log, roast it over the fire for a while, and you’ll be able to roast pine resin out of it.
Sar the pine resin around the log, and it can be used as a torch.”
“Okay, I’ll give it a try.”
Zhou Jiui followed Greg’s suggestions and indeed managed to extract quite a bit of pine resin. Then she found a stick of the right length, sared the resin on one end, and lit it on fire.
Holding the makeshift torch, she once more walked into the river where she saw many palm-sized fish swimming back and forth. She was overjoyed and easily caught several of them.
Back on shore, she wanted to show Greg, but rembering that she had no clothes on, she decided against it.
“Don’t open your eyes, I’ll roast the fish and save so for you.”
Zhou Jiui casually said, assuming Greg had fallen asleep when he didn’t respond, so she didn’t mind. She sat in front of the fire and happily started roasting the fish.
Before long, the aroma of the grilled fish wafted through the air.
Zhou Jiui took a sniff close by and imdiately began to eat with a smile on her face.
After eating three or four fish, she felt much more comfortable and, hesitating a bit, she placed the remaining roasted fish aside and then ran back into the darkness.
She poked her head out and said, “Mr. Wolfe, there are so fish left over there, you can have them yourself.”
After saying this, she closed her eyes, thinking Greg would soon go over to eat since both of them hadn’t eaten for so long.
But she waited a long ti, and there was no movent from Greg’s side.
“Mr. Wolfe, Mr. Wolfe…”
Zhou Jiui called out a few more tis, and getting no response from Greg, a bad feeling suddenly rose in her heart.
She hesitated for a mont, then went over to Greg once more and touched him, only to retract her hand instantly.
“Why do you have a fever again?”
Zhou Jiui had no choice but to repeat her previous action and leaned over Greg again.
Greg, who was in a semi-comatose state, felt a warm, soft body upon him and imdiately held her tightly.
At the sa ti, his body began to change gradually.
Zhou Jiui tensed up, freezing in place on top of him, her pretty face instantly blushing to her ears, her voice trembling with nervousness.
“Mr… Mr. Wolfe, are you awake? If you are, have so fish…”
However, Greg remained unresponsive.
Zhou Jiui was bashfully trying to stand up, but Greg’s arms were clamped around her like iron pincers, immobilizing her.
Not struggling was one thing, but the more she struggled, the more uncomfortable it beca.
Soon, Zhou Jiui was leaning on Greg’s shoulder, breathing heavily.
“Mr. Wolfe, please let go of , I…”
Greg, in his sleep, felt as if he had returned to a heavenly place and without opening his eyes, began to indulge in a feast.
Zhou Jiui’s brow furrowed, and she bit down on Greg’s shoulder.
Greg woke up in pain, opened his eyes, and imdiately sensed sothing was wrong. After a mont of surprise, he chose to close his eyes and continue “unconscious”.
With Zhou Jiui leaning on his shoulder, she did not notice his reaction, thinking he was still unconscious, and unable to free herself, she could only reluctantly endure.
She had thought before, if Greg Jensen was willing to give her the only Healing Pills, she would be willing to offer her body in return.
She never imagined that her words would actually co true.
