Blop!!!

Whoa!!!

As soon as the girl was touched, she was startled and cried out, but she did not shake off Zheng-Fu's hand and stood up. She then followed Zheng-Fu to the bonfire of roasted meat and sautéed vegetables.

"I can't believe it. Is that Junior Bao-Bao?!"

"From a tigress to a kitten!!!"

"That's right... After this, I'm going to ask the young man to teach me some lessons. I'll be able to do it with my beautiful Yu-Yi!"

Ahem!

"You guys never remember good things. Remember nothing but things like this. Because you guys are like this, you can't progress in cultivating!" Bao-Jin walked to the back of his fellow disciples, who were secretly gossiping. And he scolded them as a senior disciple. Then he looked at the two who were walking towards the bonfire like a pair of lovers.

"It would be good if my sister got along with him!"

When Zheng-Fu led the girl to the bonfire, he asked her to sit next to him before scooping up some fried herbs and vegetables along with a bite-sized piece of beast meat. That tensed the girl even more. She did not know what to do. Even grabbing the cup of food that Zheng-Fu gave her, she barely caught it.

"Are you sick? Should you rest first?" Zheng-Fu continued to speak politely and looked worried when he saw that the young woman with all her hands trembled. But inside, his heart was filled with a happy smile that prevented the girl from rampaging and being unable to remember the previous story. If she remembered, he would definitely have another matter to give him a headache.

"No… Um... I'm… I'm fine. Thank you... you... very much, Young Master Zheng-Fu, for taking care of me!" said the young woman, tilting her head shyly away, not daring to stare directly at him.

"Then you can eat to gain strength, for in a moment we'll have to leave. If we were still here, some monster beasts might appear. But if you still haven't recovered, I can carry you along on the journey!"

Flushhhhh!!!

Thump!

"Ca... ca... ca... carry?" The bowl of fried vegetables in her hand suddenly dropped and fell to the ground while she stammered Zheng-Fu's words and the ringing in her ears with extreme embarrassment.

"Yes!"

Aaaah!

Thump!!!

"Sister!!!"

Just by Zheng-Fu's one word that said 'yes,' her body flopped, unable to withstand the strange feeling in her heart. And that caused Bao-Jin and the others to immediately rush to look at her condition with concern. Zheng-Fu was also shocked that the girl suddenly fainted, but he did not show much expression when he realized that she was nothing but faint.

"Young Master Zheng-Fu, what happened to my sister?" Bao-Jin asked with a concerned expression.

"She just passed out. It's not a big deal," Zheng-Fu replied to Bao-Jin and continued, "Alright, we'd pack up and continue our journey. If we stay here for a long time, the monster beasts will surely flock again. By then, it would not be so much fun," Zheng-Fu said with a solemn face.

"What about my sister, sir!?"

"Your sister? I'll carry her myself, don't worry," Zheng-Fu replied with a smile.

Ah!!! (Carry her yourself!? That was what was worrisome.)

"Um… Alright, then I leave my sister to you."

After that, everyone dispersed to collect their belongings and continue their journey. Traveling to leave the forest without horses usually took two days, but if it was Zheng-Fu alone, even if he did not ride a horse, it would only take a few minutes.

Therefore, when leaving the forest, they would stop by any town or village they encountered to buy horses as a means of transportation because it would greatly shorten the time to reach the border of the city, which was still far away.

Two days had passed...

Yay!!!

"Finally, we came out of the forest!"

"Anyway, Sister Bao-Bao hasn't woken up yet? It's been two days already!?"

"Is that so, or is she sick or something serious?"

After traveling for two days without stopping at all, they finally get out of the forest. Before they could come out, they encountered several high-level monster beasts, but there was no need to do anything to them because just by Zheng-Fu staring into their eyes, they ran away for their lives.

And the fact that these two days did not take a break was because Zheng-Fu ordered them not to stop. He claimed that many high-level monster beasts were following them. But it was actually to train these people to become stronger by increasing the endurance of their bodies.

When everyone came out of the forest, the condition of each one was like that of a runner who had run many kilometres without rest, and when he stopped, he was exhausted and almost suffocated.

As for the young woman, Bao-Bao, she had been waking up since yesterday but did not dare open her eyes to wake up since she was embarrassed to wake up to find that Zheng-Fu was carrying her body. Besides, the warm touch she felt from Zheng-Fu's back made her want to stay like this until two days had passed.

"They want to know if you are awake or not. Tell them," Zheng-Fu suddenly spoke as everyone wondered why Bao-Bao had not woken up.

Huh...?

Ah!!!

"You already know that I'm awake!?"

"Yes, I knew for a long time that you were awake." Zheng-Fu put on a smile.

"Well... Then why... why... didn't you... let... let me...

down?" the woman asked in a stuttering voice, with her face flushed and her heart pounding uncontrollably.

"I saw that you still didn't want to go down, so I continued to carry you. Also, along the way, it's very dangerous. In case anything happens to you, your brother will surely blame me. And more importantly, how can I let a beautiful woman like you walk in such a difficult way... Hehe."

Flush!

Flop!!!

With shyness and not knowing what to do or what to say next, she nestled her head on Zheng-Fu's back instead, ignoring that it was his back. At this moment, inside, her heart had begun to swell with love. And even more so, she had never been touched by anyone's hands before. It made the young woman not know how to behave when something like this happened.

Sigh...

"Is he really only in his tenths…? Even though I'm older than he is, I still can't do this. How embarrassing!!!" Bao-Jin said in disbelief and regret about how he could not flirt with women. Although his face was not bad-looking, he had never been touched by a girl either. It could be said that he was a virginal, single young man.

Half an hour had passed...

After resting for about half an hour, they continued their journey with Zheng-Fu still carrying the young woman's body on his back, as she still nestled her head against his back, refusing to let go, like a child clinging to her parents.

Whoosh! Thump! Thump! Whoosh!

"Senior Bao-Jin, that's the village!"

Suddenly, a shout of joy rang out from someone in Bao-Jin's group when a young man saw the village in the distance, and it looked like it was probably not too far. Actually, Zheng-Fu had seen it from far away before them, but he did not speak. And not only seeing, but he also knew what the name of the village in front of them was. He recognized it from the map of the continent he had obtained.

Fifteen minutes had passed...

Zheng-Fu and Bao-Jin's group finally arrived at the village they saw from afar. This village was called 'Jungle Wood Village.' It was a small village in the jungle area. This village was mainly engaged in cutting wood and selling firewood because it was in a jungle surrounded by trees.

The villagers living here were only a few hundred people. Within the village, there were only a few dozen martial arts cultivators, and their cultivation level was not that high, just enough to be able to defend themselves against low-level monster beasts. But if they faced a high-level monster beast, then they would need to evacuate.

"This village is so small that it probably doesn't have any good food. Sigh..." One of the young men in the group said sadly after realizing that this village was just a small village that almost did not look like a village but rather a minority group.

Not only did it have a small number of residents, but the houses here were also built of wood, which seemed ready to collapse at any time. It was still strange to be called a village.

"You talk a lot. Even though this place is just a small village and has few things, it would be better than nothing!!!" Bao-Jin turned around and spoke to the young man who spoke regretfully just now, along with telling him how lucky it was to have a village to be found.

But as for Zheng-Fu, he did not think like that young man. To him, this place was like a good treasure. He looked around the village and used his psyche to explore every corner of it. The overall composition of this place was very suitable for him to use these people as support in the future.

"Hello everyone. Welcome to the Jungle Wood Village."

Suddenly, a welcome voice rang out, with the figure of an old man walking towards them, along with several other young men and middle-aged men following him. These young men and middle-aged men were all experts at the high level of the Golden Core stage. However, the density of the Qi energy within them was very faint. Compared to their bodies, they looked very strong.

"Hello, Elder. We happened to pass by here and wanted to take a short break. May I ask if we're allowed!?" Bao-Jin walked out in front of the group before clasping his hands up and telling them their intentions for coming here.

"Take a break!? Evil thieves, think of coming to plunder our village again? This time we won't give up on you guys. Do you think that disguising as a traveler can deceive us!?" Suddenly, a disgruntled voice sounded from a young man standing behind the elder, with a serious expression on his face as he spoke.

"Huh... Evil thieves!?"

"Stop right now, Xiao-Fong!" The elder turned around and scolded the young man who intervened before turning to Bao-Jin and saying, "I must apologize on behalf of my nephew for speaking so rudely. It's because before, our village was attacked by bandits. But fortunately, there were only a handful of them coming, so we were able to survive.

But they said that they would definitely come back," the elder apologized and openly explained what had happened to Bao-Jin.

That was why the martial-skilled men in this village were extremely careful and strict in checking things or people passing by. But even if he spoke without hiding it, within the elder's eyes, there was still a slight concern as to whether Zheng-Fu's group would be good or evil.
