Chapter 207: Liar
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Faced with Huanhuan’s question, Xue Ling immediately held onto the tree trunk beside him and explained weakly, “My leg still hurts. I had to grit my teeth and fly down to protect you just now.”
Huanhuan lowered her head and took two deep breaths. Then, she looked up and smiled warmly. “Does that mean I misunderstood you?”
Xue Ling avoided her gaze and said guiltily, “Yes…”
“So it was a misunderstanding.” Huanhuan’s smile became gentler and sweeter. “Then I’ll kiss you as compensation for misunderstanding you. How about that?”
Xue Ling’s eyes lit up as he looked at her expectantly.
!!
Huanhuan walked up to him, and he lowered his head very consciously. Just as he put his face in front of her, she pounced on him, hugged his neck, and bit him hard!
She was furious. She bit him so hard that the skin on his neck tore and bright red blood seeped out.
Xue Ling quickly hugged her, afraid that she would fall. “Be gentle.”
Huanhuan stretched the top of her head and licked the blood from his neck into her mouth.
The wet and soft touch made Xue Ling stiffen. Something under him was immediately raised. It was extremely hard.
This little female wanted him dead!
Huanhuan didn’t notice the change in his body. She looked up and glared at him with her big round eyes. “Aren’t you poisoned? Since I took your blood, will I be poisoned too?!”
Xue Ling was speechless.
His lie had been exposed, so he had to confess.
He coughed lightly. “I wasn’t completely lying to you. I was indeed almost poisoned to death…”
It was only later when the snake venom was neutralized by Huanhuan’s blood that he could escape death.
Huanhuan was furious. “Why are you such a b.a.s.t.a.r.d? You actually lied to me about this! I thought you were really going to die. I-I…”
Seeing that she was so angry that she didn’t even know what to say, Xue Ling quickly patted her back to calm her down. He quickly admitted his mistake.
“It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have joked about this with you. I promise I won’t do it again. If you’re not appeased, bite me a few more times. I won’t fight back!”
As he spoke, he offered his neck to her, letting her do whatever she wanted to him in an unguarded manner.
This guy always actively admitted his mistakes, but he never repented!
Huanhuan pushed him away and said angrily, “I’ll never believe anything you say again!”
She turned and walked away, wanting to stay away from this big liar.
Seeing him now made her angry!
Xue Ling quickly asked, “Where are you going?”
Without looking back, Huanhuan said stiffly, “I want to go home!”
“You’re going the wrong way. The rock mountain is this way.”
Huanhuan: “…”
She stopped and glared at him angrily. “I don’t need you to tell me that!”
Xue Ling strode after her. “Let me carry you.”
Huanhuan shook off his hand. “I can walk on my own. It’s none of your business!”
“But at your speed, you might not see the rock mountain even if you walk for a year.”
Huanhuan: “…”
The short-legged female was roasted!
She retorted angrily, “So what if your legs are long?! So what if you can fly?!”
Xue Ling wanted to laugh at her retort.
However, in order to prevent the little female from exploding with anger, Xue Ling tried his best to suppress the smile on his face and put on a serious expression. “My legs aren’t very long. If you don’t believe me, you can take a look.”
With that, he gestured to his legs with his fingers. His waist was almost at Huanhuan’s chest.
Huanhuan was furious.
It was one thing for this guy to lie to her, but he even humiliated her with his height?!
She could not tolerate this!
She pointed at Xue Ling and said angrily, “Little Lotus, bite him!”
The lotus jumped out, opened its petals, and bit Xue Ling’s shoulder.
Xue Ling immediately covered his chest and swayed. His face was filled with pain. “Y-You actually asked Little Lotus to bite me. It’s our child. How can you be so heartless?!”
Huanhuan looked at him coldly. “It bit your shoulder. Why are you covering your chest?”
“My heart hurts!”
Huanhuan’s face was blank. She didn’t want to talk to this lunatic at all.
Seeing that she was indifferent, Xue Ling let out a long sigh. “What a determined little female!”
The lotus let go of his shoulder.
Although it had bitten him fiercely just now, it had not used any strength at all. Even Xue Ling’s clothes were not torn.
Huanhuan sneered. “You father and son are working together to trick me!”
The lotus leaned in front of her and rubbed the back of her hand ingratiatingly. “Mom, don’t be angry~”
Huanhuan pushed it away. “It’s useless to wheedle. How dare you lie to me? You’re both bad people!”
The lotus was aggrieved by the scolding. Its petals looked withered.
It returned to Xue Ling’s side and wrapped around his wrist. It called out pitifully, “Father~”
Xue Ling touched its petals and said to Huanhuan, “If you’re angry, vent it out at me. Don’t be angry at Little Lotus. It’s still a child.”
Huanhuan’s face was cold. “That’s right. It’s a child that can bite off a person’s head.”
The lotus shook its leaves, feeling even more aggrieved.
Although Huanhuan wanted to hang the bird man on a tree and beat him up, the difference in their strength was too great. The chances of Huanhuan beating the other party up were less than 1%. In the end, she could only endure it.
Xue Ling picked her up and flew in the direction of the rock mountain.
Due to the fact that Huanhuan had just recovered from her serious injuries and her body was very weak, Xue Ling still insisted on slowing down even though she was eager to return.
Along the way, they pa.s.sed by a medium-sized beast tribe.
Xue Ling wanted to go to the tribe to look for a witch doctor to take a look at Huanhuan’s injuries and rest for the night.
Unexpectedly, they had just approached the tribe when they smelled a thick stench.
Xue Ling took advantage of the high alt.i.tude and his extremely sharp vision to see the situation in the tribe clearly.
The tribe was filled with the remains of rotting limbs. There were also a dozen or so beasts who were still moving. No, they could no longer be called beasts. Their flesh was festered and unrecognizable. Their movements were extremely stiff.
The most terrifying thing was that they were chewing on the corpses of their dead companions. The bones creaked from their bites. It was extremely disgusting.
Huanhuan’s vision was limited, so she couldn’t see clearly. She could only see some figures wandering around the tribe. She asked, “This tribe is so quiet. Is something wrong?”
Xue Ling’s expression did not look too good. “The beasts in this tribe were infected with dead blood disease. They’re all dead.”
“Dead?!” Huanhuan’s eyes widened. “Aren’t those people still moving?”
“Those are pitiful creatures who were infected and became puppets of the demons.”
This tribe was hopeless, but Xue Ling could not let the dead blood disease spread to other places in the surroundings.
He set a fire and burned the entire tribe to ashes.
