Chapter 105 First Time

  Ji Luo Fei had thought of many calm and gentle ways to ask Ning Cheng why he wanted that kind of beginning, but when she saw Ning Cheng, all those openings were forgotten. And when she saw Ning Cheng holding the marriage certificate in one hand and the Gathering Spirit Stone in the other, with a dejected expression on his face, her mind completely forgot what she had come back to ask Ning Cheng about, or rather, why she had come back to see Ning Cheng at all.

  "What's going on? Are you going to give me the marriage certificate and leave alone?" Ning Cheng stroked Ji Luofei's hair, feeling very sorry for her.

  If he had known that he and Ji Luo Fei were not from the same world when he first came to this world, he would have been willing to dissolve their marriage. But now, his cultivation was far higher than Ji Luo Fei's. Moreover, he also had feelings for Ji Luo Fei, and he was a person who cherished the bond of going through thick and thin together. It was precisely because of this that he couldn't understand why Ji Luo Fei left without saying goodbye. Similarly, he felt relieved in his heart when Ji Luo Fei came back again.

  Ji Luofei felt the warmth of Ning Cheng's broad and warm embrace, and suddenly reached out to touch the Qi Gathering Stone in Ning Cheng's hand, softly saying, "You still have this?"

  "Yes, I'm still here." Ning Cheng felt that Ji Luo Fei's extremely disordered mood had calmed down, he knew that something must have happened to Ji Luo Fei.

  "I..." Ji Lu Fei didn't know how to bring up the matter, she had originally planned to ask Ning Cheng, and even tell him that he already had a child, then quietly leave. But, she found herself unable to part with Ning Cheng after seeing him again.

  Since she can't leave, she doesn't dare to say anything about it. She believes her mother won't deceive her, but she can't accept this sudden reality at all. Even thinking about it feels extremely frightening.

  Noticing Ji Luofei's unease again, Ning Cheng suddenly patted her back and asked, "Has someone come looking for you?"

  "How did you know?" Ji Luofei's counter-question exposed that Ning Cheng's inquiry was a fact.

  Ning Cheng smiled slightly and said, "Was it your aunt who came looking for you? Did she ask you to agree to the marriage with the Shi family?"

  Ji Luo shook her head, "No, I'd rather believe you than Aunt. In my heart, I rely on you more than Aunt."

  "Just follow me..." The dependence in Ji Luofei's heart, or Ning Cheng's words had already taken root.

  Ning Cheng's thoughts were more cautious than Ji Luo Fei, and as soon as Ji Luo Fei said she believed in herself, Ning Cheng knew that the one who came to find Ji Luo Fei must be Xiong Qi Hua.

  Only Ji Luo Fei's mother was closer to her than her aunt, and only her mother could make Ji Luo Fei leave her. And he had met Ji Luo Fei's mother before, and had an unpleasant experience.

  "Has your mother come looking for you?" Ning Cheng asked immediately.

  Ji Luo Fei's whole body shook, and she hastily pushed away Ning Cheng. Her face was somewhat pale as she nodded and said, "Yes, my mother came to find me. She said she saw you in the Da'an Forest..."

  "That's right, I did see your mother in the Da'an Forest, and I also...” Ning Cheng had wanted to tell Ji Luofei about Zhu Hongwen and Xiong Qihua, but thinking that it would be a huge blow to her, he swallowed his words.

  "Ning Cheng, you... to my mother... do you know who it is?" Ji Luo Fei's face turned pale as she asked, her eyes trembling as she looked at Ning Cheng. She was hoping that Ning Cheng would say it was false, that he had never laid a hand on her mother. And yet, deep down, she couldn't help but believe that her mother wouldn't deceive her.

  Ning Cheng didn't know what Xiong Qi Hua had said to Ji Luo Fei, he sighed and said, "Luo Fei, when I just saw your mother, I knew she was your mother Xiong Qi Hua."

  Ji Luo Fei cried like rain, now that you know it's my mother, why did you still take action? But she couldn't blame Ning Cheng, she simply didn't know what to do at this moment.

  Her mother's impression on Ji Luofei was very deep, but her emotions were very indifferent. At this time, Ji Luofei even wanted to say to Ning Cheng, take me to a place where there is no one and live, never come out again. But the ethics between them made her unable to say this sentence, she suddenly felt that she was completely redundant.

  Ning Cheng looked at Ji Luofei, who was crying like rain, and didn't know how to comfort her. He could only say, "Actually, when I found out that Xiong Qihua was your mother, I spared her for your sake and didn't lay a hand on her. If your mother says I hurt her, I have no choice but to accept it. The reason I didn't tell you about meeting your mother wasn't because I felt guilty or because I had harmed her."

  Ning Cheng suspected that Xiong Qihua might have added fuel to the fire in front of Ji Luofei, telling her that he had seriously injured him and then letting himself leave Ji Luofei. Even if Ning Cheng thought about it again, Zhu Hongwen's plan was many times more excessive than he thought. If it weren't for Ji Luofei being really hard to let go of Ning Cheng, Zhu Hongwen's plan would have succeeded already.

  "You said you didn't move my mother? Then after saving my mother, you weren't poisoned, and that child isn't yours?" Ji Luofei's voice trembled as she threw out several questions in a row. Even before Ning Cheng had a chance to respond, she already thought Ning Cheng hadn't deceived her.

  "Wait a minute..." Ning Cheng hastily stopped Ji Luo Fei's questioning, "When did I ever save your mother? I was just passing by the place where your mother lived in the Great Ancestor Forest. And I wasn't poisoned either, not even afraid of the venomous fangs of the Sand Poison Beast, how could I be poisoned by ordinary poison? What's with this child business? What exactly is going on?"

  After asking all these questions, Ning Cheng had already guessed that Xiong Qihua might have had a child and told Ji Luofei that the child was her own. If that were really the case, then this woman was truly not worthy of being a mother.

  Ji Luofei wasn't a fool, and as soon as Ning Cheng's words came out, she immediately knew that her mother might have lied to her. Thinking of her mother's unnatural speech, and the coincidence of finding herself at the inn, and even her mother being with Zhu Hongwen again, seemingly not very sad about her father's passing, she completely understood what was going on.

  "I'm sorry, I almost left you." Ji Luofei's emotions were hard to control, and she threw herself into Ning Cheng's arms again. To her, it was better that Ning Cheng told the truth, rather than her mother deceiving her.

  "Didn't you see Zongwen when you saw my mother in the Da'an Forest?" Ji Luofei's heart was once again like a sharp knife cutting through her thoughts.

  Now that she has figured out the truth of the matter, she realizes how many contradictions there were in what her mother had said to her at first.

  Ning Cheng patted Ji Luofei and knew she already understood what was going on. Since Ji Luofei understood, there's no need to continue talking about it. "Luofei, in my hometown, there's an old saying: 'A child doesn't speak of a father's mistakes.' Let's just drop this matter here. I won't explain the details either. Just remember to trust me, I've never done anything to wrong you or your parents."

  "I believe you." Ji Lu Fei completely calmed down, except for Ning Cheng, her aunt was going to marry her into the Shi family, and her mother, whom she had just met, actually cheated her for an outsider. At this time, in her heart, only Ning Cheng was worthy of trust. Fortunately, deep down inside, she still believed in Ning Cheng, otherwise she wouldn't have come back again.

  "Where's your hometown?" Ji Luofei immediately cleared up her thoughts without any further distractions.

  Ning Cheng realized he had misspoken and scratched his hair awkwardly, saying "This is a long story, I'll explain it to you slowly later."

  "Uh, Ning Cheng, in the future when your cultivation is higher, can you take me to the Great Ancestor Forest to pay respects to my father? And then we... " Ji Luo Fei suddenly thought of her appearance and couldn't bring herself to say the words about getting married.

  Ning Cheng understood Ji Luofei's meaning, he wanted to wait until his cultivation was higher and see if he could return to Earth. If he got married at that time, it would be great if his sister could attend. Moreover, he also had another thought, which was to restore Ji Luofei's appearance.

  Feeling the increasingly soft Ji Lu Fei in his arms, Ning Cheng finally couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her lips. The moment their lips touched, Ji Lu Fei felt her mind go blank. She subconsciously wrapped her arms around Ning Cheng and clumsily kissed him back.

  This is their first time for both of them.
