Chapter 571: Storm
Chapter 571: Storm
Ling Feng had just finished speaking when Zhou Yi snapped back angrily, "Who told you to be up to no good!"
"Big sis, I was just trying to help you. Can’t we talk this out reasonably?"
Seeing that she was still angry, Ling Feng wasn’t pleased either, and continued, "Yes, I admit that I took liberties with you, but physical contact is sometimes inevitable. Besides, what do you mean by being up to no good? I didn’t force you into anything!"
"You wouldn’t dare!"
Zhou Yi glared at him, puffing out her chest, "From now on, you keep a distance of more than two meters from me. I don’t want you touching me again!"
"Is that so difficult?"
Not wanting to provoke her further, Ling Feng immediately stepped back two meters and stood at that distance away.
"Hmph!"
Zhou Yi rolled her eyes and turned to continue walking.
Ling Feng, unable to do anything else, shook his head and resumed his role as her follower, walking behind her.
However, as he walked, he couldn’t help but enjoy the view of her twisting waist and the curves of her rounded buttocks.
They continued walking, and the sky grew increasingly dark as night was about to fall.
Ling Feng couldn’t hold back, "I say, what do we do if it gets dark? Should we find a place to camp out?"
Zhou Yi stopped in her tracks, looked back at him, "Camp out? There’s nothing here. Are you planning to lie down on the grass?"
"I wouldn’t want to. I was just asking. Let’s keep going then," Ling Feng said with a wry smile.
Zhou Yi shot him a glare and turned to keep walking.
But they hadn’t gone far when suddenly, a rumbling sound, very much like the roar of thunder, came from the sky!
Ling Feng was taken aback and looked up to discover that, unnoticed by him, a mass of black clouds had appeared on the horizon.
The clouds were dark and seemed endless as if they were floating in their direction!
"Damn it!"
Ling Feng inwardly cursed, realizing they were in for a heavy downpour!
What were they to do?
In this open field, with no shelter in sight, were they just going to get soaked in the rain?
He looked perplexed, but Zhou Yi didn’t seem worried at all, as if she hadn’t heard, and continued walking.
Ling Feng quickly asked, "I say, aren’t you afraid of getting rained on?"
"I have an umbrella!"
Saying that, Zhou Yi flicked her wrist and a black umbrella appeared in her palm!
Ling Feng: "..."
She was well-prepared, even bringing this along?
For a moment, he was baffled. There was nothing in his Space Ring!
If he had known this would happen, he would have packed some outdoor gear!
But what was the use of saying that now? He had never imagined he’d end up in a place like this!
Seeing Zhou Yi holding the umbrella with a carefree air, Ling Feng shifted his eyes, quickly caught up to her, and asked with a grin, "So, do you have a spare umbrella by any chance?"
"No!"
Zhou Yi said coldly.
Ling Feng was speechless, not knowing if she was telling the truth, but since she wouldn’t admit it, he had no choice but to say with a laugh, "Alright then, if it really starts raining later, I’ll just share your umbrella, okay?"
"Dream on! Stop kidding yourself, we agreed you’d stay two meters away from me!" Zhou Yi said.
"..."
Ling Feng was out of options, and just as he was taken aback, he suddenly felt his face get wet, followed by large raindrops beginning to fall.
The rain came quickly, and after just a few drops, a torrential downpour immediately followed, turning the world into a white expanse in an instant!
Moreover, the sky also darkened rapidly, lit up only occasionally by flashes of lightning that illuminated the earth.
The sound of thunder mixed with the rain, creating quite the commotion.
Ling Feng’s clothes were soaked through in an instant, and as he was feeling helpless, Zhou Yi handed him an umbrella and said loudly, "Here you go!"
As much as she was angry, she couldn’t ignore him in such a situation.
Ling Feng still looked helpless, thinking why didn’t you take out the umbrella earlier, now that I’m already soaked, what’s the use of holding it?
But still, he quickly opened the umbrella.
The sensation of rain hitting his face disappeared instantly, and Ling Feng wiped his face, shouting over the thunder, "This isn’t good, right? If it rains too much and we’re on the plains, could there be a flood?"
"It’s possible, but there’s no other way!"
Zhou Yi was also feeling rather mixed emotions, having no plan to deal with this kind of scenario, especially since the rain was getting heavier and heavier, appearing now to be a torrential downpour.
"Why don’t we teleport into my Space Ring?"
"Give it a try, and you’ll know. It’s fine to take items out, but you cannot enter!" Zhou Yi said.
Ling Feng paused, then immediately tried it, only to find out that it was indeed the case!
This place could actually restrict the use of spatial equipment, what a situation!
"Then we can only walk with the umbrella!"
Ling Feng looked helpless as he stepped forward.
The pitch-black wilderness no longer had any direction for them to follow; they could only wander aimlessly, leaving finding shelter from the rain up to luck.
However, unexpectedly, the intensity of the rain did not lessen but was accompanied by a growing wind!
At first, the wind was not strong, but it slowly grew stronger until later holding the umbrella was futile, as the rain was blown horizontally!
Zhou Yi’s clothing was also drenched quickly, and with the wind growing stronger, even holding onto the umbrella became difficult!
It should be noted that both Zhou Yi and Ling Feng were cultivators, possessing much greater strength than ordinary people!
Despite this, they still could not secure the umbrella, which showed how powerful the wind was!
In just a few minutes, the umbrellas in their hands were torn apart by the strong winds, becoming completely useless decorations!
With the storm raging and the wind howling, both of them were drenched in an instant. It became difficult to even open their eyes or walk forward.
In the moment they discarded their umbrellas, Ling Feng rushed towards Zhou Yi, remembering she was just two meters ahead of him!
As his fingers touched a soft body, he embraced the person without saying a word!
"Don’t move, we can only endure this!" Ling Feng shouted.
At this moment, Zhou Yi was also bewildered. Ling Feng had become her biggest support, and all her previous anger and irritation were cast aside.
So she actively wrapped her arms around Ling Feng’s waist, trying to shrink her body into his embrace as much as possible. They clung tightly together, braving the wind and rain.
Amid the pouring rain and the roaring wind, their bodies were both chillingly cold, feeling little warmth.
Ling Feng was still somewhat better off, but Zhou Yi was not faring as well, being female with an inherently yin constitution. The icy rain coupled with the cold wind made her body begin to tremble slightly.
Feeling the tremble, Ling Feng hugged her even more tightly, trying to transfer his body heat to her, hoping to make her feel a bit better.
Although holding the exquisitely figured girl felt comfortable, Ling Feng could not afford to enjoy it, just wishing for time to pass quickly and for the rain to end soon!
