Li ngjie regained so consciousness after Long Xiaoshan forced her mouth open and threw the elixirs in. He had arrived in ti to save them.
That feeling of escaping from the jaws of death was truly shocking.
But soon, she felt a hot breath in her throat that spread to her limbs, and the pain and fatigue on her body quickly disappeared.
She exclaid, "What did you give ?"
"Nothing much, just an elixir pill," he said.
Long Xiaoshan was examining Chun Tao’s body and found that she only suffered so scrapes and was physically exhausted, with no serious injuries, which made him breathe a sigh of relief. He hugged Chun Tao tightly; he had been hurrying the whole way, fearing the worst.
Fortunately, he had made it in the nick of ti.
"Little Xiaoshan," Chun Tao also clung to Long Xiaoshan, having thought just monts before that she might never see him again.
Li ngjie looked at the two hugging as if no one else was around and felt inexplicably envious.
It seed as if she were the one being left out.
Right now, she also craved soone to hold and comfort her.
Today had been too fraught with danger and perilous situations.
For her nineteen years of life, this was a complete and utter shock, whether it was Qiu Chen and his cohorts’ misdeeds or the appearance of Magic Artifacts and Talismans, all of which made her doubt her previously comfortable, princess-like life.
The kidnapper with the broken leg wailing in the background also made her feel disheartened, and fearfully she said, "Shouldn’t we get out of here first? It looks like it’s going to get dark."
Hearing Li ngjie’s voice, Chun Tao realized there was soone else present and pushed Long Xiaoshan away a bit, embarrassed.
Long Xiaoshan also knew it was not a place to linger in the forest.
He let go of Chun Tao and said, "Wait here, I’m going to take him and ask so questions."
Saying that, Long Xiaoshan walked over, grabbed the kidnapper with the broken leg, and went behind a large tree. Not a few minutes later, he ca back looking somber, but he was alone; the kidnapper had disappeared.
"Alright, let’s head back now," Long Xiaoshan said.
Li ngjie, harboring so doubt, glanced at the large tree where Long Xiaoshan had gone and then fell silent.
"Don’t look. I’ve already killed him," Long Xiaoshan stated.
"Ah!" Li ngjie’s face turned fearful.
"Little Xiaoshan, don’t scare ngjie. It was my fault that she got involved today," Chun Tao said.
Long Xiaoshan chuckled and said to Li ngjie, "Classmate Li, you’re not scared, are you?"
"Scared? Not at all." Li ngjie, egged on by Long Xiaoshan’s taunt, puffed out her proud little chest; she did not want to appear weak in his eyes.
"Good, since they dared to kidnap you, I won’t let a single one of them off," Long Xiaoshan’s eyes showed a hint of chill.
Hearing herself and Chun Tao being referred to together as "you," Li ngjie felt a small thrill of delight, and suddenly the fact that Long Xiaoshan had killed soone didn’t seem so frightening. Still, she couldn’t help but worry, "You’ve killed soone. What about the police? And since they’re from the Qiu Family, won’t they co after you?"
Long Xiaoshan indifferently said, "I’ll settle my account with the Qiu Family later. Let’s not talk about them; we need to leave this place first."
Long Xiaoshan helped the two of them up, and it was then that Li ngjie realized the sprain on her ankle had healed.
She said with a hint of shock, "What dicine did you give ? It works so well?"
Injuries to muscles and bones take a hundred days to heal, even going to the hospital wouldn’t have worked this fast.
Long Xiaoshan smiled without explaining. What he fed them was an elixir he had concocted, suffused with spiritual energy, naturally incomparable to ordinary dicine. Although it wasn’t as expensive as the Heavenly King Life-saving Pill that sold for five hundred million at the auction, it could still fetch ten million on the market.
However, saying that would seem a bit like showing off.
"Let’s hurry up, it’s really going to get dark soon," he said.
Leading the two won out of the mountains, Long Xiaoshan, of course, couldn’t possibly get lost. He could identify all the signs along the way and just follow them back. However, even though the won had regained their strength, walking in the dense mountain forest was still slow for them.
After half an hour with them, Long Xiaoshan estimated the distance and realized they were still far from exiting the mountain.
The sun had already set.
In the deep autumn, darkness fell quickly, and the visibility worsened within the forest.
Long Xiaoshan thought to himself that at this pace, it would take several more hours.
He stopped in his tracks.
"What’s wrong, little Xiaoshan?" Chun Tao asked.
"We’re too slow. How about this—I’ll carry both of you. That way, we can get out faster," Long Xiaoshan said, his gaze on Li ngjie since he was sure Chun Tao would be fine. He was worried about what Li ngjie might think.
"You’re going to carry us? How are you going to do that, and can you actually carry both of us?" Li ngjie’s face flushed a bit.
"No problem, I can manage one of you in each hand. Just hold onto my neck. If you walk by yourselves, it will take several more hours," Long Xiaoshan assured her.
Hearing that it would take several more hours, Li ngjie’s shy feelings were gone.
The elixir pills had restored her physical strength, but her spirit was already exhausted.
So, without hesitation, she replied, "Okay then."
Chun Tao naturally had no objections. Long Xiaoshan squatted down and hoisted up Li ngjie and Chun Tao on either side. Li ngjie, lifted into the air, panicked a little and grabbed Long Xiaoshan’s neck, accidentally pressing her chest against Long Xiaoshan’s face, which he found very enjoyable.
Seeing Long Xiaoshan’s expression, Li ngjie quickly leaned back to put so distance between her chest and his face, glaring at him fiercely.
Long Xiaoshan was no longer the naive country bumpkin he once was.
His skin was thick. Enjoy exclusive adventures from .Côm
He wasn’t embarrassed in the slightest, chuckling and pretending nothing had happened, he said, "Hold on tight, the old driver is about to take off."
On the other side, Chun Tao also clung to Long Xiaoshan’s neck, seeming not to mind at all that he was pressing his face against her chest.
Li ngjie was still contemplating what "old driver about to take off" ant.
It sounded terribly lewd to her.
Suddenly she felt as though she was riding the clouds and flying through the air at great speed.
Watching the trees zoom by and then whisk past her, sotis it even seed like they were plunging straight toward her, only to narrowly miss her body at the last mont.
Additionally, due to the uneven terrain,
it was a hundred tis more thrilling than a roller coaster ride.
Long Xiaoshan fully unleashed his True Qi, channeling it into his feet, moving through the jungle as agilely as a nimble monkey.
The obstructing brambles and shrubs were pushed aside by his True Qi before they could touch him.
If soone were watching from above, it would appear as a straight line speeding through the mountain.
Li ngjie scread, gripping Long Xiaoshan’s neck tightly amidst the high-speed motion, having long forgotten any concerns about inappropriate contact.
