Chapter 142: Danger!
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
At a glance, Ling Yun could see that Zhuang Meifeng had something important to tell him. If not, she would not have risked going through such terrible weather to reach him.
Turning his head, Ling Yun told Cao Shanshan who was standing nearby, “Sorry, Chairman. I need to leave as I have some important matters to handle.” He then grabbed the s.h.i.+vering Zhuang Meifeng and sprinted down the stairs without waiting for permission from Cao Shanshan.
“Ling Yun, what are you doing?” Cao Shanshan screamed angrily from behind Ling Yun. Too bad for her, he did not hear what she said and did not turn his head.
Reaching downstairs, Ling Yun uttered to the pitiful and yet beautiful person in his arms, “Open the umbrella!”
After getting carried by Ling Yun, Zhuang Meifeng was about to protest softly but feeling the oven-like heat emitted from Ling Yun seep through her dress, she felt relatively warmer.
Then, the freezing young lady became like a docile Persian cat and laid in Ling Yun’s arms without any movement. Ling Yun wanted her to open the umbrella so she raised her elbows to open it above their heads. Because of this movement, the b.u.t.tons on her dress near her chest burst open.
“Very nice!” Ling Yun smirked and teased her as he cast his gaze downwards.
“You…” Zhuang Meifeng became bashful and struggled to get out of his embrace upon hearing those words come out of his mouth. Squeezing her waist with his elbows, she instantly froze and he reached out to take the umbrella.
“I think I should hold this instead.” Ling Yun chuckled. With the speed that he was going, it would be impossible for Zhuang Meifeng to hold onto the umbrella.
Ling Yun’s left arm held onto Zhuang Meifeng’s soft waist while his other hand held the umbrella. Using the Thousand Miles G.o.dly Steps, he rushed into the storm and within three flashes, he was out of the vision of the students upstairs.
Ling Yun had been practicing in deep waters reaching up to his shoulders. Thus, the thigh-deep water was of no issue for him and he could reach his hostel in a flash using his powers.
Feeling lazy to open the door in such heavy rain, Ling Yun teleported to his yard followed by his room. Dumping the broken umbrella on the ground, he placed Zhuang Meifeng down gently.
The place was so quiet that it was tranquil and Ling Yun heard a noise emit from the girl but was unable to make out any words when he placed her down. His eyes roamed her half red half white face before making his way towards his bedroom and said, “Come here.”
Zhuang Meifeng turned fearful as she stared at Ling Yuan with her round doe eyes, “What… What are you going to do?”
Seeing that she was cold yet slow in her actions, he teleports towards her and carried her. Putting her down, he said flatly, “Take off your clothes.”
“What?!” Zhuang Meifeng was absolutely flabbergasted. This… This guy couldn’t be…
Realizing what he said, Ling Yun slapped himself on his head and awkwardly said, “Sorry. I just wanted you to remove your wet clothes and get into the bed to warm up. I will be leaving the room right now.”
He left towards the bathroom, pa.s.sed her his own towel and said. “We will talk later.”
This time, he left the bedroom and kindly closed the door for her. As the storm did not seem to be stopping, Zhuang Meifeng surveyed her surrounding first to calm her racing heart.
Unknowingly, Zhuang Meifeng felt a sense of security from the peace of the room. Using the towel to dry off her face, she looked at the folded blankets on the bed and felt overwhelming grat.i.tude towards Ling Yun.
To the freezing girl, the blankets equated to warmth. Even so, her heart could not help but start to beat. There were only two of them here, was she really supposed to lie naked under the blankets?
Zhuang Meifeng was not worried about Ling Yun molesting her but was instead, embarra.s.sed about speaking to Ling Yun while lying under his blankets.
Finally, she decided to trust him because she had absolutely no one to depend on now. She steeled her nerves and shouted out, “Um, you are not allowed to come in until I tell you to do so!”
Ling Yun had no time to reply because back when he was carrying Zhuang Meifeng and running in the rain, he felt a sense of danger again!
According to his knowledge and senses, if any dangerous person was to come within 100 meters of him, Ling Yun would immediately react to it. But the problem was, he did not find anything unusual around him! This meant that there was no dangerous person following him and the uncomfortable emotion he felt was solely based on his instinct.
Having slain countless demons and having killed plenty of people in Cultivation World, this feeling was not new to Ling Yun. It was a desire that happened when one had killed someone else or had killed many.
It is happening again… Ling Yun frowned as he sat down on the sofa without caring about his wet body. Looks like I have to come up with a plan. This feeling of danger is really uncomfortable… Ling Yun thought
Ling Yun unconsciously rubbed his hand on his leather needle pouch which was his only weapon other than the magic brush.
In the bedroom.
Zhuang Meifeng’s heart pounded as she used her slim and elegant hand to unzip her sodden dress before pulling it off her body.
After removing it, she hurriedly wiped her body with the towel. Hesitating for a moment, she then pulled off her bra. Following that, with determination, she removed her pink underwear.
At this point, she was beyond embarra.s.sed and muttered to herself, “Really? Why does taking off my clothes feel like I’m cheating?” She hastily used the towel to clean her chest and wipe her body before crawling under the blankets
Warm, it was really warm! Zhuang Meifeng felt more steady and only left her face outside of the tightly wrapped blanket. Five minutes later, her entire body was no longer cold and she lifted her elbow to raise her wet hair before calling out, “You can come in now!”
When he was carrying her, Ling Yun commented on her chest hence she a.s.sumed that he would try to peek at her or disturb her. She had never expected that for the whole time when she was changing, he did not disturb her once which made Zhuang Meifeng’s impression of him improve tremendously.
However, her heart could not help but feel slightly dejected. was she not charming enough? She was the belle of Qingshui after all and he did not even think about peeking when she was changing just a door away?
Entering the room, Ling Yun raked his eyes across the girl who was tightly holding on to the blanket. He chortled and said, “Don’t worry. If I wanted to bully you, I wouldn’t have to wait until now.”
What he didn’t know was that the action she was doing was not because she was worried about what he will do but was instead a natural reflex of a woman. With those words, Ling Yun sat on the bed before asking, “So, what is the big matter that you would have to risk the rain to come find me for? If you plan to confess to me, we can just have s.e.x now!”
Hearing these words, the relaxed Zhuang Meifeng instantly became shy before she said, “Screw you. Only ghosts would want to have s.e.x with you.” Laughing, Ling Yun randomly joked to calm her down.
After that outburst, she definitely felt more relaxed. Zhuang Meifeng suddenly noticed the awkwardness of Ling Yun having to look down at her so she grabs the blanket and s.h.i.+fts upwards. With a push of her hand, she sat up and stared at Ling Yun with her alluring eyes. “Ling Yun, when you beat up Sun Xing that day, many of his relatives flew down from the capital. Even his mother came down personally and sent out many people to look for you.”
At the start, Ling Yun thought it would be something important but after finding out why she was here, he grinned, “Then let them find me. What can they do?”
Zhuang Meifeng said in panic upon seeing his disregard for the matter, “What can they do? Then you do not know about the power of the Sun family. They are one of the most powerful families in China and have many tricks under their sleeves.”
Ling Yun said with an amused tone, “What tricks?”
