Chapter 174: First Encounter
Thinking of this, Liuli felt even more uncomfortable. She couldn't help but bury her head in Lin Zhong's arms. Lin Zhong stretched out his hand and gently stroked Liuli's bright blonde hair, his eyes were faintly full of compassion, looking at Liuli.
Wei Lingfeng, who entered the house, saw the two hugging each other, thoughtful.
Wei Lingfeng and Wei Ning rested in the wooden house for a while.
In addition to the room where Lin Zhong and Liuli rested, there were three small rooms and a thatched house behind this wooden house, and Wei Ning and Wei Lingfeng occupied one of the rooms.
There is no daylight on the island, and it is always dark. Wei Ning naturally couldn't calculate the passage of time. Wei Lingfeng has been taking care of Wei Ning intimately, lest she have anything to lose.
"Ning'er, it's time to eat." Wei Lingfeng came in from outside the door with two large baskets of fruits, and said to Wei Ning.
Wei Ning had just woken up. Get up from the bed and watch Wei Lingfeng put the fruit on the table. This half-green, half-red fruit is a unique specialty of this island, and Ruri says that this fruit is called cherry berries, which is their only food. Wei Ning walked to the table, picked one up and took a bite, it was crisp and sweet, and it tasted like an apple.
Eating this all day long, Wei Lingfeng doesn't care about himself, he is worried that there is no nutrition, which is not good for Wei Ning's body. But there is no other food on the island. When Wei Lingfeng saw that Wei Ning had eaten a few fruits, he lifted the wooden barrel next to the house, and then said to Wei Ning: "You eat more, I'll fetch water for you now." β
Out of the hut and into the depths of the island, there is a small waterfall. There is a small lake underneath the waterfall. Their daily water is fetched from that small lake.
Wei Ning ate a few cherry berries and felt sleepy again. Because there is no day or night on the island, she eats and sleeps all day long. Fortunately, she is a doctor herself and knows that this is also a normal part of pregnancy. It was Wei Lingfeng who stayed in front of her couch every time, lest she would sleep to death if she was negligent.
"Ling Feng, you just went to pick fruits, and you're tired, don't be in a hurry to fetch water, let's rest first." Wei Ning felt sorry for Wei Lingfeng, he was busy taking care of himself these days, and he had lost a lot of weight.
"I'm not tired. Rest well when you're sleepy, and I'll be back soon. Wei Lingfeng knew that Wei Ning cared about him, and when he spoke to Wei Ning, his face couldn't help but show tenderness.
After Wei Lingfeng finished speaking, he couldn't help but walk up to Wei Ning and kiss Wei Ning's forehead gently.
Wei Ning's face turned red instantly, although the more intimate behaviors of the two had happened, but every time Wei Lingfeng was close to her, Wei Ning still couldn't help blushing.
This guy doesn't know if his eyes are not good, why every time he looks at him, he thinks he is getting better and better.
After Wei Lingfeng kissed Wei Ning, he left immediately. They are already husband and wife, sleeping together on the same bed every day. But now that Wei Ning is pregnant with a child, Wei Lingfeng can't get too close to her, in case he can't control himself.
Of course, Wei Ning also understood Wei Lingfeng's thoughts. Although this is an extraordinary time, the two have been separated for a long time before, and now they are alone together, so naturally they will collide with sparks from time to time.
It's just that Wei Ning understands that now is definitely not the time to be intimate, plus there are still Liuli and Lin Zhong living in the wooden house, and she is pregnant again. The husband and wife have a consensus, although they are in the same room, they are not overly intimate.
After Wei Lingfeng left, Wei Ning lay back on the bed. Lying down, I actually fell asleep in a daze.
I don't know how long it took, Wei Ning's ears sounded Liuli's voice: "Ning'er, Ning'er!" β
Wei Ning didn't sleep deeply, and was soon awakened by Liuli. Wei Ning opened her eyes, and sure enough, she saw Shi Niang standing on the edge of her bed, holding her shoulders with both hands, trying to shake her awake.
Seeing that Wei Ning woke up, Liuli didn't wait for Wei Ning to say more, and immediately said to Wei Ning: "Get up quickly, follow me!" β
Although Wei Ning didn't know what was going on, seeing Liuli's anxious look, Wei Ning rubbed her eyes, got up immediately, and was led out of the room by Liuli.
When he came to the courtyard, Wei Ning was startled.
She saw Wei Lingfeng standing in front of them, holding the sword he carried with him, Lin Zhong fell not far from Wei Lingfeng, his hand covering his chest, and a trace of blood slowly flowed from the corner of his mouth.
What's going on?
Wei Ning wanted to run to Wei Lingfeng's side immediately, but was stopped by Liuli beside him.
"Ning'er, don't go." Liuli grabbed Wei Ning and said to Wei Ning.
"What the hell is going on?" Wei Ning asked Liuli eagerly, it must be a god, and the whole person was stunned.
Her gaze crossed Wei Lingfeng's shoulder and saw a familiar face.
Mu Han!
Wei Ning stood dumbfounded, looking at that familiar face, and there was only one question left in his mindβwhy is Mu Han here?
Wei Lingfeng held the sword tightly in his hand, protecting Wei Ning and Liuli behind him. Lin Zhong saw Wei Ning's expression, opened his mouth and said loudly to Wei Ning: "He is not Mu Han, he is the monster in the palace, Ning'er, don't be bewitched by it!" β
Lin Zhong's words instantly pulled Wei Ning's thoughts back to reality, she looked at the person who looked exactly like Mu Han, although she didn't believe it very much, but since Lin Zhong said so, it meant that the person standing in front of Wei Lingfeng was not Mu Han.
After all, Mu Han is Shi Niang's child, and Shi Niang is unmoved, so this Mu Han must be fake.
At this time, Liuli stepped forward and stood side by side with Wei Lingfeng, she looked at the fake Mu Han in front of her, and said coldly: "Dare to break into the forbidden land, you are really not afraid of death." You can't use half of the spells on your body, what, do you want to continue? β
The monster heard what Ruri said, but didn't say anything. As if it wanted to verify the truth of what Liuli said, it began to gradually transform into a form, turning into Wei Lingfeng for a while, and Mu Han for a while. In the end, I finally gave up, and gradually, little by little, it turned into pieces and disappeared.
Wei Ning kept watching intently until it disappeared completely, then ran to Wei Lingfeng and Liuli's side and said, "Is it gone?" Ling Feng, are you alright? β
Wei Lingfeng put away his saber, with a complicated expression on his face. Liuli helped Lin Zhong up and said to Wei Ning and Wei Lingfeng, "Let's go in and talk about it." β
"What the hell is going on?" As soon as he entered the house, Wei Ning finally couldn't wait to ask. She walked up to Lin Zhong's side, put her hand on Lin Zhong's wrist, and diagnosed Lin Zhong's pulse for a while. Luckily, it was just a little bit of internal injury. Liuli lost some true qi to Lin Zhong behind Lin Zhong's back, and at present, Lin Zhong is no longer in trouble.
Liuli helped Lin Zhong lie down. After Lin Zhong's treatment, he suddenly felt very tired, and Liuli saw that Lin Zhong looked distressed, because of the successive changes, he had to take care of her before, and the whole person was very haggard, and he was very distressed.
Watching Lin Zhong slowly fall asleep, Wei Ning and Liuli were both relieved. And Wei Ning also learned the ins and outs of the matter from Wei Lingfeng's account.
It turned out that Wei Lingfeng walked to the side of the waterfall, lifted the wooden bucket and just wanted to draw water, when he suddenly found a small silver-white fish in the clear water. Wei Lingfeng was very excited when he saw the little fish at that time, so he grabbed it and put it in the bucket, planning to go back to make soup for Wei Ning to replenish his body. But what I didn't expect was that this little fish was actually transformed by that monster. As soon as Wei Lingfeng entered the courtyard with the wooden barrel, the little fish suddenly jumped up from the water and attacked Wei Lingfeng!
Wei Lingfeng was immediately caught off guard by the monster, but fortunately, Lin Zhong was also in the courtyard at the time, and when he saw that Wei Lingfeng didn't react, he immediately rushed to Wei Lingfeng's body and blocked the monster's blow for Wei Lingfeng.
Lin Zhong was just an ordinary person and didn't have any martial arts on him. As soon as he was attacked by the monster, he fell to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood. Hearing a noise in the yard, Ruri immediately came out of the house. When the monster saw Liuli come out, he suddenly turned into Mu Han's appearance and wanted to bewitch Liuli.
It's not the first time I've seen this monster, so naturally I didn't fall for it easily. She and Wei Lingfeng had a few tricks with the monster, but due to the enchantment, the monster couldn't suppress Liuli and Wei Lingfeng for the time being. But Wei Lingfeng was always worried about Wei Ning, who was still sleeping in the room, and insisted that Liuli bring Wei Ning.
He couldn't afford to lose Wei Ning again. Rather than worrying about her safety in a place where he couldn't see her, Wei Lingfeng would rather face her with him, even if she died, she would die together.
Liuli understood Wei Lingfeng's thoughts, if she and Wei Lingfeng were killed by this monster, then Wei Ning would also fall into the hands of this monster sooner or later. So Liuli didn't hesitate, and immediately went to the room to wake up Wei Ning.
Wei Ning listened to Wei Lingfeng's narration, and his heart palpitated. It was the first time she had seen the monster. Although he transformed into Mu Han's appearance, he felt very terrible. She looked at Wei Lingfeng, and then at Lin Zhong, who was already asleep on the bed, and felt uncomfortable in her heart. Shi Niang had said before that this place was the safest place in the entire Yaoguang Temple, but now the safest place is for monsters to sneak in, so what should the four of them do in the future?
The monster could turn into a fish today, and maybe a table, or a stool, or any of the four of them, and it would be pervasive and unguardable.
When Wei Ning thought of this, he couldn't help but start to break out in a cold sweat on his back.
Wei Lingfeng saw that Wei Ning was afraid, and he couldn't help but reach out and hold Wei Ning's hand, wanting to give Wei Ning a comfort.
Feeling Wei Lingfeng's intimacy, Wei Ning turned his head and smiled at Wei Lingfeng beside him. As if telling Wei Lingfeng: "With you, I'm not afraid." β
Seeing the couple comforting each other, Liuli understood what they were worried about. So he opened his mouth and said to them, "This place is no longer safe." β
Wei Ning and Wei Lingfeng both looked at Liuli, waiting for her to continue.
Liuli smiled bitterly and continued: "What just appeared was actually just a clone of the monster. I'm guessing the doppelganger was just here to find out. Because its strength was so weak, it quickly disappeared. I'm sure the real body is still watching us somewhere in the palace. β21
