Lord of the World - C97
Leng Jun did not dare take the mountain path again, he carried Zhu Qingyun on his back, took the bag from the mule and left the mule at the same place, then carried Zhu Qingyun on his back and went into the forest alone, looking for another path.
There was no path in the mountain, but someone had already turned into a path.
Leng Jun identified the direction of Divine Martial City, and without caring if there were weeds or dense forest in front of him, he identified a straight line and walked down. The mountain road was originally rugged and difficult to traverse. Moreover, Leng Jun wasn’t even walking on a road, so the hard work on the way could be imagined.
In order to prevent Zhu Qingyun from getting injured, Leng Jun used the Purple Emperor Sword to clear a path along the way. Following the instructions given to him by Qin Wu at the “Ghost Isle”, he channeled his elemental energy into his feet. Although he could not walk like Qing Hao and Feng Xi, but he could still avoid falling to the ground due to accidentally stepping on a hidden pit.
Although Leng Jun didn’t care about falling down, he was afraid that he would hurt the unconscious Zhu Qingyun on her back, so he had no choice but to use this method to advance forward. However, this only increased the exhaustion of his elemental energy. Not long after, he was already soaked in sweat from exhaustion.
Zhu Qingyun was not really injured in the first place, she had only used up too much of her elemental energy, and was also frightened to the point of fainting. Along the way, she laid on Leng Jun’s back to rest, and adding the magical effect of the “Dragon’s Saliva Pill,” she had gradually awakened.
While she was in a daze, Zhu Qingyun felt her body moving up and down very comfortably. She wanted to sleep a little longer, but she suddenly remembered the scene before she fainted. She suddenly screamed and woke up.
Leng Jun immediately put Zhu Qingyun down, he shook her shoulders and said: “Little sister Lin’er, wake up, what happened to you?”
Zhu Qingyun slowly opened his eyes. The scene in front of his eyes slowly turned from blurry to clear, and she finally saw Leng Jun’s face clearly. Seeing that Leng Jun was safe and sound, Zhu Qingyun threw her arms around Leng Jun’s neck and started to cry loudly on his shoulders.
Leng Jun hugged her tightly, letting her cry in joy for a while, before she consoled her, “Alright, don’t cry anymore.
Zhu Qingyun’s emotions had more or less leaked out, when she suddenly heard Leng Jun’s words, she couldn’t help but to let out a “puchi” and turn tears into a smile.
Zhu Qingyun embarrassedly left Leng Jun’s shoulder. She wiped the tears off her face and carefully asked: “Brother Jun, when I cry, does it look bad?”
Leng Jun laughed and said: “How could that be? No matter what happens, my Little Sister Xing’er will always be the prettiest.”
She stood up and looked left and right, only to realize that they were in the middle of a forest. Beside Leng Jun were their luggage and tents, but there were no horses or mules. He could not help but ask: “Brother Jun, where is our mule?”
Leng Jun did not want her to think about what happened previously, he only said: “This mountain road is not suitable for a mule to go forward, I will let it go.”
Zhu Qingyun did not doubt him and continued to ask: “Brother Jun, where are we going now?”
Leng Jun saw that Zhu Qingyun’s clothes were drenched in blood, and said: “Little Sister Lin’er, let’s rest here for a while, and change out of your clothes at the same time.”
Only then did Zhu Qingyun look down at his clothes, and realised that they were filled with blood droplets, as well as some extremely sticky, disgusting things that she did not know what they were. It was good that she did not see it, but after looking at it, she could not help but feel nauseous. She immediately nodded her head in agreement to Leng Jun’s suggestion.
Leng Jun opened his bag and took out the long white skirt Zhu Qingyun had worn earlier. He then handed it over with his back facing Zhu Qingyun.
Zhu Qingyun took Changchun and said in a low voice, a little embarrassed. “Brother Jun actually doesn’t need anything that can be avoided, it’s not like I’ve never seen it before.”
With that, Zhu Qingyun openly and generously took off her clothes in front of Leng Jun.
Although Zhu Qingyun had said it like that, Leng Jun still felt it was a little awkward and didn’t turn around at all.
After Zhu Qingyun finished changing her clothes, she said to Leng Jun, “Brother Jun, your back is also stained with a lot of filth.
Leng Jun turned his head to look at his back, and it was indeed as Zhu Qingyun had said, a big, dirty area. It turned out that while carrying Zhu Qingyun, her clothes had been tainted by the filth of Zhu Qingyun’s clothes.
Inside the bag, there was only one piece of clothes that Leng Jun had made for him at the “Ghost Isle”. Previously, when he was fighting with Li Sicong, he was dyed red with blood, but it had been washed clean. Originally, Leng Jun did not want to wear this shirt again, he was afraid that he would dirty it again. But when he thought about the blood stains on his back, Zhu Qingyun realized that he would definitely be unhappy in the past, so he changed into a new set of clothes in the end.
Leng Jun took out a few pieces of rations from his bag, handed them over to Zhu Qingyun and said: “It’s easy to attract attention by lighting a fire, eat some. “After we cross this mountain, we can get some good food for people in the town.”
Zhu Qingyun took the rations and nodded his head obediently, then lowered his head and started chewing on it.
After they finished eating, Leng Jun and Zhu Qingyun stood up again and walked forward. Zhu Qingyun had already woken up, and her body was no longer in a critical condition. There was no longer a need for Leng Jun to carry him on her back, which made it a lot easier for Leng Jun because he no longer needed to consume any more spirit energy.
The two of them walked until the sky gradually turned dark before finally meeting a woodcutter. Leng Jun anxiously asked: “This brother, we got lost in the mountains. Can you tell us how to get to the closest town?”
The axman was in his forties, with a glance, he was obviously a loyal and honest person. He sized Leng Jun and Zhu Qingyun up, and said: “You rich sons, young miss, just like to run around when you have nothing to do. This mountain is something that you guys can casually come to, you really don’t know how dangerous it is. ”
After the axman scolded Leng Jun and Zhu Qingyun, he said, “The closest city is Heavenly Sword City, it will take about two hours to get there. You two kids, rest here.
Leng Jun anxiously said: “There’s no need to trouble old brother, we can leave ourselves!”
The axman suddenly said angrily, “You little brat, what are you saying? The sky is about to turn dark. Don’t tell me you want to spend the night in this mountain? You really don’t understand.” “Listen to me, just a moment, I’m done for.”
Leng Jun wanted to say something, but he suddenly pulled at the corner of his clothes and whispered: “Let’s wait for a while!”
Zhu Qingyun had already said it, of course Leng Jun would not object anymore, so she smiled and said to the axman: “Alright, we’ll settle it in a while, old brother, let me help you chop firewood!”
