Twenty-six. Journey into the Forest (Seven)

  The warm sunlight of the morning shone on the two sleeping people, forming a golden light circle around them. The birds in the forest sang loudly, waking up the sleeping couple.

  Lan Ru's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes to find herself firmly in Liu Qingfeng's arms. His chest was hard, but it gave her a very secure feeling.

  Her eyes gazed at Liu Qingfeng, who was still asleep. His eyes were tightly closed, his handsome eyebrows relaxed, and his messy hair scattered across his face... Underneath his eyes were obvious dark circles, his chin already covered with a thick layer of stubble, looking haggard and decadent, yet possessing a fatal attraction.

  She had flashes of fragments in her mind, and she vaguely remembered him gently coaxing her and patiently feeding her medicine. In the dawn light, she stared at him dazedly for a long time, unable to look away.

  He opened his eyes, and they met hers, filled with deep affection. A bright smile spread across his face. "Xī'er, good morning! How are you feeling?" He gently reached out to touch her forehead, and the normal temperature put him at ease.

  She slowly sat up, gently shaking her head. Her lively and beautiful eyes, like bright black stars, carried a hint of a smile. "I'm fine now, Qingfeng, thanks for last night!"

  Liu Qingfeng fondled her nose. "Silly girl, what are you thanking me for?" Then he hooked up a charming smile and pointed to his cheek. "How about something more practical, give me a kiss."

  Lan Ruoxi shot him a glance and shyly turned her head away. "Don't!"

  He slowly approached her, with a hint of slyness in his eyes. He said mischievously: "If you don't kiss me, I'll have to kiss you!"

  She pouted and glared at him with a charming expression. The soft sunlight shone on her beautiful face, stunning him like an angel. "You're so bad... uh" Before she could finish, his lips had already covered hers.

  She shook her head, trying to escape the scorching heat on her lips, but the back of her head was held in place by his large hand, leaving her no choice but to passively endure his attack. The suffocating feeling forced her to open her small mouth, only to be caught off guard as he took advantage of the opportunity and inserted his fiery tongue into her mouth. Their lips and tongues entwined, the scorching sensation sending shivers down her entire body.

  What a sweet and beautiful taste! Like an opened jar of honey, overflowing with rich sweetness. Her small tongue retreated in panic, but was caught and deeply rolled up to be sucked. He entwined her with the tip of his fiery tongue, she retreated, he chased after and sucked again, their soft and slippery tongues sticking together like crazy. He deeply drew out the nectar from her lips, their glued mouths tightly connected, not giving her a single breath of space. Savoring the taste in her mouth, he lightly spat it out, then nibbled on her lower lip, gently tracing the beautiful shape of her lips...

  They didn't know how long they had been kissing, but the suffocating feeling made her vision go black and she almost fainted. He finally let go of her, gazing deeply into her eyes. "I love you! My love will always belong to you, Xier." He gently stroked her scorching hot cheek.

  She almost melted away, melting in his endless deep affection and intense love. Her heart was racing like thunder, her long eyelashes trembling constantly.

  Seeing her charming and seductive appearance, his heart skipped a beat. He couldn't help but lower his head again to kiss her tempting lips...

  A warm feeling full of happy passion surrounded their whole body, driving away all worries and unease.

  After a long time, the two of them packed up their things and started on a new journey. Liu Qingfeng carried Lan Ruoxue and continued walking forward. The whole way was very smooth, and they didn't encounter any danger.

  Through the tall trees and low shrubs, it becomes more and more complex, with dark green tree vines crisscrossing in the forest. The ground is getting wetter and the air is filled with the smell of rotting wood.

  Both of them sensed a hint of danger and heightened their vigilance, cautiously looking around.

  "Let me down, Qingfeng. I'll walk myself, it's not safe for you to carry me like this." She struggled to get down from his back. Since their food had gotten wet and was inedible, they could only rely on water to sustain themselves. The rest of the road was fraught with danger, she couldn't be a burden to him.

  He looked at her worriedly, "Can your foot move?"

  "Don't underestimate me." She gave him a bright smile and walked forward with her luggage.

  Liu Qingfeng followed closely behind her, reaching out to grab her hand with a sly smile. "How dare I underestimate my dear, you're a brave female warrior after all."

  She turned her head and rolled her eyes at him with a pout. "Good-for-nothing! Let's go. We still have to find them."

  He stood up straight, gave her a Boy Scout salute, with a hint of a mischievous smile. "Yes ma'am! My queen."

  "Alright, stop fooling around, let's go." He pulled his hand and continued walking forward.

  Two people walked side by side, cautiously sizing up their surroundings. Suddenly, the sound of "sha, sha..." kept coming from the bushes.

  A dense, black spider continuously emerged from the shrub cluster, its entire body was black, and its long legs were covered with fluffy hair, making people's scalp feel numb and their skin crawl.

  "No good! It's the Forest Poison King Black Spider, run quickly!" He pulled her hand and they sprinted away, that thing alone could be fatal, so many of them, did they still have a way to survive?

  Two people ran wildly for several miles, falling under a tree and panting heavily. Fortunately, spiders don't fly like bees and can't run fast, or their lives would have been lost here.

  His bright eyes looked at her, stretching out one hand. "Let's go, we continue to move forward, there are still many dangers ahead, waiting for us to challenge. Xiang Er, are you afraid?"

  She looked into his eyes with no uncertainty, no suspicion, only trust and deep affection. She shook her head firmly. "Don't be afraid!" Holding his hand tightly, she walked forward resolutely.

  The forest wind blows gently, and the fragrance of grass and trees hits the nose.

  Suddenly his foot went soft, and by the time he reacted, his leg had already sunk in, and his body was slowly sinking down. "Not good! It's a swamp."

  Liu Qingfeng disregarded his own body sinking down and used all his strength to push Lan Ruoxue upwards.

  She struggled to climb up, and finally managed to get up. She quickly turned around, stretched out one hand. "Qingfeng, hurry up and grab my hand, I'll pull you up."

  He stretched out his hand and she grasped it tightly, pulling herself up with all her might. However, her strength was too small, and her hands slipped off again and again.

  "Let go, Xiaor. You can't pull me up. These past few days have been the happiest of my life. I'm content." He smiled gently at her as his body slowly sank down.

  She excitedly pulled him back, furiously growling: "Don't! I won't let go, I definitely won't let anything happen to you."

  "Fool! As long as I see you're doing well, that's my greatest happiness. Let go!" He said with a satisfied smile, gazing at her gently, his eyes full of tenderness.

  She shook her head, with a firm light flashing in her eyes. "No, Qingfeng, I love you! You must hold on. If you dare to give up easily, I will hate you for the rest of my life. Wait for me to come back!" She reluctantly let go of his hand and took a deep look at him.
