The Fortunate Demoniac Little Village Doctor
Chapter 1707 - 918: The Reluctant Embrace
The Black Jade Steed was already exceptionally majestic, and with the addition of the supreme-grade treasure harness, it transformed this divine steed into the most grandiose existence among the Six Realms.
"Hurry up, the divine steed can’t stay here for too long, otherwise it will attract the covetous eyes of other cultivators." The mysterious woman said to Lin Feng. Lin Feng was still caught in the surprise from earlier, unable to extricate himself for a long time. But when he heard the anxious words of the mysterious woman, he promptly stepped forward and mounted the back of the steed.
Lin Feng had barely mounted the steed when it leapt into the sky. Lin Feng’s body hadn’t stabilized, and he started falling backward, seemingly about to tumble off the horse. With no other choice, Lin Feng had to embrace the mysterious woman sitting steadily in front of him. At that moment, Lin Feng was just a mere mortal; his only options were to either hold onto the woman or fall off into the mountain abyss.
The mysterious woman was taken by surprise and flustered by Lin Feng’s sudden embrace, her face instantly turning red. Her originally fair and delicate face now blushed slightly, yet she seemed quite familiar with such an embrace, or more accurately, extremely familiar with the man behind her.
This was also the first time she allowed the Black Jade Steed to carry two people. Previously, she rode alone, but now Lin Feng was behind her, making the mysterious woman feel bizarrely as if thousands of deer were prancing through her heart.
With Lin Feng holding onto the woman’s waist, he stabilized his figure. He felt the air currents rapidly flowing around him, and Lin Feng found it difficult to open his eyes. As a mortal, he couldn’t use cultivation to project his aura, nor could he prevent the swift winds from affecting him.
However, the mysterious woman was different. Clearly, the air currents hadn’t affected her at all; her aura was enough to redirect the gusts that originally rushed toward her, keeping her hair neat and her face gentle. Even amidst swift flying, with intense air currents all around, her hair remained unmoved by the wind.
Lin Feng, meanwhile, wasn’t so fortunate. The mysterious woman seemed to sense Lin Feng’s distress, so she formed a seal technique with her hands and used her aura to shield the black horse, thereby protecting Lin Feng as well.
Lin Feng felt the incoming wind was less intense and attempted to open his eyes. He realized it was the mysterious woman shielding him with her aura, so he said to her, "Fairy, thank you."
"I’ve told you, call me Feng Ling. Why do you keep giving me other names?" The mysterious woman lazily replied upon hearing Lin Feng’s words.
Lin Feng chuckled without further remarks. After all, his previous cultivation had reached the pinnacle of the Human Realm level; he had seen everything, so he didn’t look at the scenery below.
Lin Feng was unaware that the innate spiritual seed within him had begun to awaken, absorbing all his energy when his meridians broke to prevent the loss of his spiritual power. At this moment, Lin Feng’s internal meridians had just restored, regaining their vitality. However, they were still in recovery, not fully reaching their former level. At this point, his meridians were like newly reborn ones, growing only to a normal mortal’s capacity. Thus, they couldn’t contain Lin Feng’s original vast energy.
Only by strengthening his meridians, improving their grade, and enabling them to absorb vastly, could the innate spiritual seed inject Lin Feng’s immense energy into his eight extraordinary meridians.
After this, Lin Feng could restore his Nine Spirit Joints cultivation.
Though not curious about the surrounding scenery, occasionally gazing into the distance could relieve one’s fatigue. So, Lin Feng leisurely looked around, and the time passed quickly with the two chatting and laughing. Unknowingly, Lin Feng and the mysterious woman arrived at a mountain on the back of the "Black Jade Steed." The divine steed stopped, stirring up a whirlwind on the ground.
Once everything calmed down, Lin Feng and the mysterious woman dismounted.
Shortly after they dismounted, the Black Jade Steed transformed into a flicker of light and returned to the mysterious woman’s spiritual beast bag. Seeing this, Lin Feng started doubting whether he’d mistaken her identity. Lin Feng knew about the treasures possessed by Su Liqian of the Giant Wood Clan, but they didn’t have such divine beasts. After gaining the name of the Giant Wood Clan, Lin Feng was aware of their specifics. Even the clan’s sacred place, the Heavenly Pool, had been visited by him.
Lin Feng watched the mysterious woman put away her pet, then gracefully walked toward him.
"Surprised, aren’t you? This is Starfall Mountain." The mysterious woman introduced the place to Lin Feng, smiling with a hint of mischievousness. Lin Feng, captivated by the surroundings, found himself enchanted; the spectacular peaks and beautiful scenery were akin to an immortal realm.
