The bonfire burned with a crackling sound, and every spark exploded in Feng Jinxing's heart.

He closed his eyes and did not dare to look. The sounds in the cave seemed to be amplified countless times.

The crackling sound of burning wood and the sound of Ling Yao gasping for air as she pulled out the thorns shocked Feng Jinxing's heart.

He knew that Ling Yao was injured and had many wounds on her body.

It wasn't until he smelled the aroma of meat filling the air that Feng Jinxing dared to open his eyes and cough lightly.

Ling Yao was breaking the python meat into pieces and roasting them on the fire. When she heard the sound, she hurried over.

Seeing Feng Jinxing wake up, his eyes lit up. He touched his forehead and checked his pulse before he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's great. It's nothing serious."

"Thank you, Princess, for saving me." Feng Jinxing said his thanks pretending to be indifferent and distant, his voice hoarse due to fever.

The smile on Ling Yao's face froze slightly, she took the bamboo tube on one side and handed it to him, "Drink some water first."

"Thank you, Princess." Feng Jinxing sat up, took the bamboo tube, and took a few sips.

Ling Yao took the bamboo tube and said, "You can eat python meat later."

"Python meat?" Feng Jinxing's eyes showed worry, "Were you injured by catching a python?"

"Yes, you had a fever. I went to collect medicine for you. I found a very good medicine, and it turned out that it was guarded by a python. I killed the python and took the snake gall and herbs to treat your injury. It was really effective."

Ling Yao's little mouth was talking loudly, as if she was begging for praise.

She will not be a woman who gives silently. She must let her loved ones know what she has done.

Feng Jinxing frowned and said reproachfully: "This is too dangerous. My life doesn't matter. You are a wealthy person, how can you take risks? Don't do this again. If something happens to you, your relatives will be so sad!"

"

Even though Ling Yao said it lightly, he also knew the danger at that time. One look at the snake's body and he knew it was a ferocious python.

Although he didn't know what happened during his coma, he could imagine that Ling Yao had suffered a lot for him.

How could he not feel distressed by such a woman? How could he not...

No no no, he can't do that!

Ling Yao smiled and said, "I have a sense of propriety."

Feng Jinxing sighed and clenched his fists tightly. He was such a useless scholar. He, a grown man, let a little girl rescue him.

How shameful!

The scenes that happened on the edge of the cliff came to mind again, the woman who desperately held him, the woman who fell off the cliff with him, the woman who would not hesitate to lose her life for him, the woman who asked for his first kiss,

The woman who made his heart move again was right in front of him.

However, he could do nothing but pretend that nothing happened.

They are inappropriate!

She deserves a better and younger man.

He is a veteran.

"Thank you for your hard work, princess!" Feng Jinxing felt grateful and guilty.

Ling Yao smiled and said: "It's not bitter. Uncle Feng is safe and sound, which is the greatest blessing to me."

Regardless of the pain, Feng Jinxing held on to the cave wall to stand up.

Ling Yao hurriedly came to help, "Just lie down. What are you doing standing up?"

Feng Jinxing's face turned slightly red and he said, "I want to go out for a while."

Ling Yao often took care of the wounded and immediately realized that he had to solve physical problems. She coughed lightly and took the dry coat and put it on for him.

Then, she supported him and said, "I'll help you go."

Feng Jinxing said gently: "I only injured my back shoulder. I can walk on my own. The princess should just watch the barbecue."

As soon as barbecue was mentioned, Ling Yao suddenly smelled a burnt smell, "Ouch! I forgot! There is still barbecue!"

Seeing her hurriedly turning over the snake meat on the fire, Feng Jinxing showed a helpless and gentle smile.

Ling Yao is still a child, so she can't be too beastly.

The little girl has an undecided temperament. She has developed ignorant feelings only because she has been in contact with herself a lot since she was a child. It will fade away after a while, and when she meets a better person, she will feel how ridiculous this moment is.

Feng Jinxing decided to apply for external transfer when he returned, or to go to various places on behalf of Tian Xun Shou to observe the public sentiment.

The land of Da Ming is so vast now that it would take at least more than a year to travel back. By then, Ling Yao might have feelings for her childhood sweethearts.

Feng Jinxing breathed in the fresh mountain air in the early morning and made a decision in her heart.

Snowball has transformed back into a cute little pet, squatting on the top of a big tree, watching the surroundings vigilantly.

Suddenly, it heard a rustling of footsteps, with a trace of murderous intent in its impatience.

"Meow!" Snowball gave a warning and rushed out.

Ling Yao rushed out of the cave holding a pistol and dagger, "An enemy is coming!"

Feng Jinxing ran to the cave and said, "Hurry up and hide in the cave!"

"You hide in!" Ling Yao turned sideways, pushed Feng Jinxing, and pushed him into the cave.

How could Feng Jinxing hide himself and let Ling Yao confront the enemy?

He pulled out the dagger from his boot, rushed out, and stood in front of Ling Yao.

Ling Yao felt warm in her heart. Looking at Feng Jinxing's thin back, she knew that he didn't know martial arts, but she felt inexplicably relieved.

There were screams and curses in the distance, as well as the sound of firecrackers and explosions. It was obvious that the people coming were enemies rather than friends, and Snowball had already taken action.

Feng Jinxing looked around and found a huge stone. He took Ling Yao's hand and said, "They have muskets and bombs. Let's hide first."

Ling Yao thought it was reasonable, so she followed Feng Jinxing and ran behind the stone, hiding behind it and using the stone as a cover.

After a while, the man in black who had escaped from Snowball ran over. He was afraid of being attacked by the lightning-like Snowball from behind, so he looked around while running.

Several people stopped in front of the cave entrance, and one person said: "There is a cave here, and the smell of meat wafts out!"

One person asked: "Are Feng Jinxing and the eldest princess in the cave?"

"Go in and take a look. They fell from such a high place and were seriously injured even if they didn't die. Even if the heavenly soldiers and generals come down to earth this time, they can't save their lives!"

"The meat is so fragrant, let's go in and take a look. Kill them and we will fill our stomachs!"

Feng Jinxing's red phoenix eyes were filled with coldness. He held the dagger and was about to rush out at any moment.

I saw the men in black walking into the cave, with their backs turned to them.

Ling Yao wanted to fire the crossbow arrow, but Feng Jinxing held her hand down and shook her head slightly.

As soon as the crossbow is fired, the hiding position will be exposed. The two of them are no match for these six or seven masters.

What's more, Ling Yao is just a little girl, and he doesn't know martial arts.

It would be best if they couldn't find the two of them. If they did, it would be too late no matter how hard they tried.

However, Feng Jinxing was too optimistic.

Because he is a master, he can easily detect the presence of people around him.

He didn't even have time to eat the snake meat, so he surrounded Feng Jinxing and Ling Yao where they were hiding...
