"I'm sleepy, come sit down so I can use your thighs as a pillow," Lin Feng yawned and pointed at Emily's thighs.
"It's dangerous here at night. Monsters that are active at night are everywhere, so you shouldn't sleep," Emily looked around. The concealment of these small woods was poor. Anyone with decent vision could see inside from the outside.
"I know, but you can just wake me up, right?" Lin Feng rubbed his eyes. His eyelids were getting heavy. "If I don't wake up, just kiss me and I guarantee I'll wake up."
Emily saw right through Lin Feng's little scheme.
"No. Chat with me and you won't feel sleepy by morning. We need to find a safe place to rest tomorrow."
"But I'm sleepy. Unless you can help me feel more alert," Lin Feng's eyes kept glancing at her breasts.
Although he didn't say anything outright, it was as if he'd said everything.
Emily sighed, "You're being indecent again. All this just so you can take advantage of me."
In the past, she might have refused him, but after sincerely interacting with Lin Feng for a day, her heart suddenly softened.
"Well? Do you agree or not?" Lin Feng asked with raised brows, chuckling indecently a few times.
"Over clothing, and just for a bit," Emily said.
"But I want to go further," their eyes met for a moment, and Emily understood what Lin Feng was implying.
"You're so childish."
Just as she was about to undo her clothes, Lin Feng grabbed her wrist.
"What are you doing now?"
"Tsk, tsk, how did you suddenly become so obedient?"
"Because..."
Emily's mind raced as she hastily fabricated what she felt was a reasonable lie, "You've groped me before anyway, so letting you do it one more time doesn't really cost me anything, right?"
Teasing her had become one of Lin Feng's greatest joys.
"Since you're so open about it, there's no fun for me if you don't resist. I won't get excited," Lin Feng leaned back and closed his eyes slightly.
Emily felt complicated, and it was a long time before she squeezed out, "You're pretty twisted."
Lin Feng felt the tree he was leaning against was hard and uncomfortable. He still preferred using Emily's lap.
"Scoot over a bit."
Emily shifted her butt over and Lin Feng plopped his head right onto her legs.
It wasn't as soft as a whole pillow, but at least it had some bounce, way better than hard rock.
Angling his head slightly, he could even smell the ocean.
Mm, awesome.
"Can you stop being so twisted? I give up on you," Emily no longer had the energy to retort. She gently stroked his hair. The coarse, bristly texture actually felt pretty good.
"Hear any sounds?" Lin Feng suddenly asked.
"Sounds?" Emily pricked up her ears. A rustling sound entered her ears.
The sound was chaotic, surrounding them. She couldn't discern which direction it came from.
"Have you not run into this before?"
"No, I've only been deep into the forest once."
"Great. Time to train you then." Lin Feng squeezed her leg and got up from the ground.
Based on his experience traversing mazes, hearing this sound usually meant a monster was appearing.
"But I don't see anything," Emily already had an arrow nocked, staring wide-eyed around them.
Don't rabbits have pretty good night vision?
He'd thought she'd be able to spot the thing right away.
"Look at the ground."
Emily continued staring wide-eyed until she finally noticed a black shadow shuttling through the undergrowth, shaped like some kind of giant snake.
"I see it!"
The arrow left the bow, accurately hitting the black shadow but bouncing off due to insufficient power.
Emily quickly drew two special arrows with metal arrowheads.
Thunk thunk, she finally managed to pierce the black shadow's skin.
But that level of attack was not enough to kill it.
The monster was now less than five meters away from them. Just as Emily placed an arrow against her bow, the monster shot up into the air.
"Shatter," he said softly.
In an instant, the snake-shaped monster exploded into sections, its flesh spurting everywhere.
Lin Feng went to pick up the crystal core emanating red light, then turned to walk back to the still stunned Emily.
"What's wrong? Shocked silly?"
Emily looked at the scattered monster flesh on the ground, staring blankly as she asked Lin Feng, "It died just like that with one hit from you?"
"What did you expect?"
"Was that magic too?" Admiration flashed in Emily's eyes. "When you captured me too. My arrow suddenly shot off course, then I mysteriously fainted."
"It's a secret."
"I won't tell anyone. Can you tell me? With a wave of your mouth, that huge monster blew up just because you said some things I didn't understand." Emily walked over to one piece of flesh and used her dagger to pry off a piece of red snake scale.
"I can only tell my wife." Lin Feng said with a straight face.
"Fine, if you don't want to say, then forget it."
"Ahem," Lin Feng patted Emily's shoulder and said in a very serious tone, "You cannot tell anyone about this, including Yulena, your family, no one. Understand?"
The sudden solemnity startled Emily. "I understand, I won't say anything."
He used Appraisal on Emily.
Her experience points increased a bit.
As expected, fighting high-level monsters, even with just assist attacks, would more or less grant some experience.
Having them grind in low-level mazes was just too slow for leveling up.
When they get back, he should take them to slightly more advanced mazes to challenge stronger monsters.
It was risky, but Lin Feng was confident in his ability to protect them well.
Lin Feng patted her shoulder, "Emily, if we run into this kind of monster again, I want you to fight it with everything you have, shoot as many arrows as you can, hack away as much as possible."
"Huh?" Emily gave a piece of flesh a kick.
This snake-shaped monster was estimated to be 20-30 meters long.
With that kind of size, even taking a single hit would be extremely dangerous, right?
"Can't you just move your mouth? Why do you want me to take risks?" Emily twisted her lips, completely unhappy.
"I'm training you."
"I think you just want to torment me!" Emily looked at Lin Feng askance, filled with distaste.
Lin Feng smacked her butt, causing her to yelp again and again, "Just do as I say. I'll protect you well, I won't let you die."
The two changed locations after making that much of a commotion killing the snake.
When morning came, they rolled out of a tree.
"Let's keep going. You kill the weak monsters, I'll handle the strong ones," Lin Feng pushed her waist.
Emily sighed again, "Master, I asked you to come to the forest exactly because I can't beat the monsters here myself. I wanted you to protect me, didn't I?"
"Who said I won't protect you? I'm making you train," Lin Feng lightly kicked her butt again.
Emily didn't say anything further.
She had already concluded that Lin Feng was a twisted pervert who wanted to torment her.
As if blessed by good luck, Emily didn't even take two steps before hearing strange sounds.
uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
