The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 704 Despair

Upon hearing Ling Feng say this, An Xue’s face instantly turned red!

But without even thinking, she immediately nodded and then came to his side.

After lying down, because she was too shy, she didn’t dare to look at Ling Feng’s face and quickly hugged him, burying her head in his chest.

Ling Feng, on the other hand, hadn’t thought too much; he just wanted to give the girl some warmth.

However, seeing how shy An Xue looked, the little flame in his heart was stirred up, so he stretched out his hand to wrap it around her waist.

An Xue’s body trembled, and she became even more nervous.

Ling Feng suddenly felt conflicted.

Although he knew she wouldn’t refuse anything he did,

was it the right time now?

In a strange environment, having just gone through a huge emotional shock, she was at her most vulnerable.

Ling Feng was someone who cared deeply about a girl’s feelings; he didn’t want to leave a bad impression on An Xue for her first time.

So after thinking it over, he decided to desist and to save the beautiful moment for the most perfect time.

Before he could speak, he heard An Xue’s faint snoring.

The girl had fallen asleep.

Remembering this was the effect of the Xuanling Fruit, Ling Feng chuckled to himself and thought, ’Perfect!’

He then held the person in his arms tighter, closed his eyes, and quickly fell into a deep sleep himself.

Embraced throughout the night, when morning came and An Xue opened her eyes, she saw she was still in Ling Feng’s arms, and he seemed to be still asleep.

Thinking back on last night’s events, a small smile played on her lips.

One second she was nervous and anxious, the next she’d fallen right into sleep; it was truly unlike her.

Perhaps, this meant the time was not right yet?

Now An Xue didn’t feel any disappointment; instead, she felt a sweet warmth in her heart and let her gaze linger on Ling Feng’s face for a long time without moving away.

After who knows how long, Ling Feng woke up and saw her looking at him; he asked, "How did you sleep?"

An Xue smiled, "Very well, I haven’t slept this soundly in a long time."

"Give me your wrist."

Ling Feng wrapped one arm around her while taking hold of An Xue’s wrist with his other hand.

Then he couldn’t help but laugh, "Indeed, you’ve really made a breakthrough!"

"Really?"

An Xue was startled, her first thought was not the delight of advancing in realm but rather the fear that she might be all sweaty, so she immediately smelled herself!

"Don’t worry, earlier it was because your constitution was changing, and your body expelled all the accumulated impurities through the pores; it won’t happen again!"

Ling Feng guessed her thoughts and said with a chuckle.

"Oh, that’s good!"

Only then did An Xue feel relieved, and she playfully stuck out her tongue.

The two of them then got up, one went to the pond to freshen up, and the other lit a fire to prepare some breakfast.

After having their fill, An Xue said to Ling Feng, "Now my strength must be almost as good as yours, so you don’t have to worry about me today. Let’s hurry on our journey, shall we?"

"Sure!"

Ling Feng smiled and thought to himself that she was being overly confident; as good as him?

Impossible!

But he didn’t say it outright to avoid hurting the girl’s pride.

Leaving the cave, the two set off again towards their destination.

This place had quite a few resources; taking possession of it would not be a bad thing at all.

But unfortunately, Ling Feng knew that this place was not within the Nine Heavens, so he could only think about it.

Because he had found Xuanling Fruit yesterday, there might still be other marvelous things here, but in order to get home as soon as possible, he didn’t have the time for a thorough search.

If fate allowed them to meet, it was meant to be; if not, then it simply wasn’t their luck.

After An Xue’s strength increased, she realized the advantages of the Hua Energy realm while on the move, so her laughter accompanied the two of them on their journey, making it not lonely at all.

They traveled quite fast today, and by noon, they had already covered over twenty kilometers.

Standing atop a large tree and looking ahead, they could vaguely make out the cliffs in the distance.

Ling Feng jumped down from the tree and said to An Xue, who was sitting beneath it, "At this pace, we might reach the end of the valley by tonight."

"Does that mean we only have one afternoon left?"

Seeing her complicated gaze, Ling Feng, though reluctant, still nodded, "Yes! Whether we can find your possible kinsfolk and leave this place to return home depends on this afternoon."

"Oh."

An Xue nodded and said nothing more.

But obviously, her mood was not as buoyant in the afternoon as it had been in the morning.

As they drew closer to the opposite Shan Feng, An Xue’s mood grew heavier and heavier!

Ling Feng felt the same; if they couldn’t find anyone or any signs of leaving, they might really have to stay here for life!

What was inevitable still came; in the end, Ling Feng and An Xue arrived at the foot of Shan Feng, and their exploratory journey came to an end.

The two of them looked at each other wordlessly, standing still for more than half an hour!

"No, we can’t give up just like that, maybe we missed something on the way!"

Ling Feng was much more distressed than An Xue; after all, he had too many people he couldn’t let go of!

So at this moment, he became very excited, looking around at the high mountains that reached into the clouds, he decided to climb up!

From the highest point, he could overlook the entire valley and also see the surroundings; he wanted to know exactly where he was!

An Xue looked at him, bit her lip, "I’ll listen to you, but if we really can’t leave, then..."

She didn’t finish her words because she couldn’t bring herself to say them.

After all, she was a shy girl and there were some things she really couldn’t articulate.

Ling Feng didn’t pay too much attention to her words, reached out his hand to embrace An Xue’s waist, "Come on, let’s go up!"

With that, he exerted force under his feet and immediately leaped onto a rock!

Afterward, he sprinted up the steep Shan Feng like a swift monkey, reaching a height of several dozen meters in the blink of an eye.

An Xue, somewhat nervously, clung tightly to him and only then realized the gap between them.

After a while, the two of them arrived at the highest point of the mountain.

While the sun had not yet set, Ling Feng took a sweeping look around and felt a chill in his heart!

It turned out that this valley was nothing more than the interior of an island, surrounded by an endless ocean!

Yes, this place was an island.

Ling Feng was utterly despondent, sitting down abruptly.

An Xue was silent, knowing he was in a bad mood but not knowing how to comfort him, so she just held his hand.

The sun gradually sank below the western horizon, and it grew darker around them.

Until not a single ray of light could be seen, An Xue, nestled in Ling Feng’s arms, suddenly trembled!

Then, her voice shook, "Brother, look at the sky!"

Ling Feng was in a gloomy mood, but upon hearing this, he looked up and asked, "What about the sky?"

"Stars, there are stars!"

An Xue grew excited, turning her head to look at him, "I suddenly understand!"
