บท 18: You Don't Have to Be So Nice to Me...

Feng Xun almost jumped up. "Boss Jun! Did you mean it?! I can bring her along?! Really? OMG!!!"
"I advise against it," said Jun Linyuan sincerely.
Xuan Yi, who had always been detached and nonchalant, opened his eyes wide!
This wasn't right!
How could Boss Jun possibly have agreed to this? It wasn't like him at all! He couldn't help but dart a look at Jun Linyuan.
"Of course I'm bringing her along! I'm going to look after the girl!" said Feng Xun complacently. "I'm Feng the Third and she's Feng the
Jun Linyuan ignored the gloating Feng Xun, and looked at Xuan Yi instead.
Xuan Yi took the hint without any verbal instruction. "I checked it out. That Immortal Spiritual Fruit grows in Black Ice Valley, but we'll need to explore some more to find the specific location."
Feng Wu's heart raced!
Black Ice Valley… That was right! That was exactly where that Immortal Spiritual Fruit was!
Immortal Spiritual Fruit, her Immortal Spiritual Fruit! With it, she would be able to resume her cultivation and she wouldn't be a good-for-nothing anymore!
On this continent where martial prowess was valued above everything else, one's capability meant everything! Feng Wu clenched her fists at that thought!
Jun Linyuan nodded indifferently, then led the team out.
To get to Black Ice Valley, they had to climb over Flaming Ridge first. They were moving at a rather fast pace.
Creeks, bushes, mountain peaks… nothing could slow them down.
Feng Xun would attend to Feng Wu on the way every now and then, asking, "Hey, there. Are you sure you're alright?"
Feng Wu was the only one in the team without any spiritual essence, and she struggled to keep up with her physical strength alone.
Staring at Jun Linyuan and Xuan Yi from the back, Feng Wu forced a sweet smile. "Of course I'm alright. Why shouldn't I be? I'm doing great!"
Seeing her pale countenance and the brave and optimistic tone she used so as not to be ditched, Feng Xun pitied the girl greatly. "How about I carry you on my back?"
Before Feng Wu could say anything, Xuan Yi turned around all of a sudden.
"Leave now if you can't keep up. You'll be a burden on all of us." Staring at Feng Wu, Xuan Yi said in a cold voice, "The magical creatures will only get more formidable as we go on. You won't be able to leave then even if you wanted to!"
Feng Xun glared at Xuan Yi. "Xuan the Second, I know you're telling the truth, but can't you be more subtle about it?"
Feng Wu made no comment.
Xuan Yi snorted, quickly caught up with Jun Linyuan, and walked with the latter shoulder to shoulder.
Seeing that Feng Wu had lowered her head, Feng Xun thought that the girl was hurt by those words. Rubbing her head, he said, "Don't mind him. That's just the way he is. Ignore him. I'm here for you, alright? Come, hop on my back."
Feng Xun took pity on Feng Wu, given all her unfortunate encounters today, and before he knew it, he was looking after her.
Feng Wu, on the other hand, couldn't care less about what Xuan Yi said.
So what if he was cold and his tongue was vicious? As long as she could get her hands on that Immortal Spiritual Fruit and resume her cultivation, she could endure much worse things.
At that thought, Feng Wu darted a guilty look at Feng Xun.
The guy genuinely cared about her, but she had used that to join his team… She only hoped that what was to come wouldn't hurt this pure, kind teenager.
Feng Wu shook her head, smiling wryly. "You don't have to be so nice to me…"
"Dummy, who else am I supposed to be nice to? That stupid Xuan the Second? Speaking of which, you really had an awful day today." Feng Xun rubbed Feng Wu's little head again.
The team never stopped once for Feng Wu, and it was only when the moon was high above their heads that they made camp.
Feng Wu's eyes lit up when she walked into the campsite.
She saw —
บท 19: Tough Girl

Feng Wu's eyes lit up when she took in the surroundings.
Birds flew across the bright blue sky in flocks.
The terrain was flatter here and the ground was carpeted by a vast tract of grass that was soft as a cushion. A thin creek flowed slowly through it.
On the light green grass, an exquisite, soft woolen carpet had been laid out, which looked luxurious and elegant, and had a nomadic feel to it.
A quaint wooden dining table had been set up on the carpet. Despite its simple and unsophisticated style, one could tell at first glance that it was made from very expensive material.
Fine table mats and tableware had been set out at every seat.
Porcelain plates as smooth as white jade, amber-colored tall glasses, and shiny, well-polished silverware were laid out. It wasn't difficult to tell that they were taken great care of on a daily basis.
In the center of the meadow was an old tree with a trunk wide enough for three adults to join hands around. It grew straight up, and a thick branch reached out over the edge of the cliff.
However, right on that branch was a small tree house. From a distance, amidst the mist and fog, the tree house looked like it was suspended in mid-air, which gave it a quaint yet mysterious look.
Feng Wu was immediately taken!
This wasn't camping! This was a resort in a remote forest on a mountain.
Looking back at her experiences coming in and out of Frozen Forest, she had never once not scrambled around in the most sorry state. These guys, on the other hand, had turned it into the most enjoyable trip!
Just then, a figure in a plain robe appeared from behind the old tree.
Feng Wu shifted her gaze to the person. Wasn't that
Feng Xun was as cheerful and enthusiastic as ever, and raised a hand to greet the man. "Feng, we're exhausted. Luckily you got here first to get everything ready, or we'd be all cold, wet, and hungry."
Feng nodded at Feng Xun in a reserved and graceful manner. He then provided Jun Linyuan with a steaming hot white hand towel.
Just then, Feng Xun noticed that Feng Wu was limping. He frowned and patted a chair next to him. "Get over here."
Feng Wu shook her head.
The next second, Feng Xun had sat her down in the chair.
Crouching down next to Feng Wu, Feng Xun prepared to take off her black calfskin boots. "You're limping, you must be hurt. Take these off. Let me check your wounds."
Feng Wu cried out as soon as he tried to pull off her boot. She was almost in tears. That hurt a lot!
That looked very serious! Feng Xun stopped immediately and frowned. He then glared at Feng Wu and scolded her. "Why didn't you say anything when you got hurt? You don't have to keep it to yourself! That looks so painful!"
Apparently, the soles of her feet were stuck to her boots with blood, and she couldn't take her boots off now that the blood had dried.
Feng Wu darted a look at Jun Linyuan. She had used everything she had to join this team for that Immortal Spiritual Fruit, and she wasn't going to be eliminated because she wasn't physically strong enough.
Jun Linyuan turned his gaze on Feng Wu at the same moment and their eyes met.
Feng Wu was anxious, but Jun Linyuan didn't even seem to see her. His gaze brushed past her like wind over water.
Feng Wu's stomach lurched. He wouldn't kick her out now, would he?
Hence, she stopped Feng Xun from attempting to remove her boot. "I'm fine, really. Don't worry about me."
But how could Feng Xun turn a blind eye to Feng Wu? The girl had such bad luck, which had only gone from bad to worse since they met. How tough did she have to be, to endure a wound like that?
