C20 Python Escape
The two of them walked until noon. Ling Tian pulled her to a spacious area, pressing her onto a flat rock and said, "Wait for me here, I'll go find some food."
Ever since Leng Tiexin had passed away, Leng Xingmeng seemed to have transformed into a different person. She became gentle and kind as she replied in a low voice: "En, be careful!"
Ling Tian then said with a smile, "Mmm, I won't run too far. If there's anything you need call me out loud!" With that, he dove into the lush forest.
Leng Xingmeng sat on the rock, unable to recover from her emotions. She touched the butterfly jade pendant that her father had given her and became sad again.
Without knowing that danger was approaching, he saw a pentagram python slowly climbing down from the tree that Cold Star Dream was leaning on.
Ling Tian caught a little wild boar not far away, walking towards Leng Xingmeng happily. When he brushed away the leaves, his eyes were already wide open as he shouted, "Xingmeng! "Run!"
Leng Xing dreamt of Ling Tian carrying the wild boar and was just about to go up to greet him, but was immediately scared by Ling Tian's shout and turned his head back.
He saw that the python's body was wrapped around the tree trunk, its mouth was already on top of Leng Xingmeng's head.
Leng Xingmeng was completely shocked as she stood there in a daze, at a loss of what to do.
Ling Tian threw down the wild boar and opened his mouth wide to pounce on it. However, one of the clones instantly switched positions and used his right hand to block the bloody mouth. The Five Flower Python bit Ling Tian's arm and flung him onto a thick tree trunk, causing Starlight to spit out blood.
Leng Xing dreamt of Ling Tian being thrown away by the python and immediately ran towards him. He held his head and cried, "Why are you so silly!"
Ling Tian then said in a low voice, "I'm fine! Run! "Wait for me in front!" He pushed her out.
The Five Flower Python pulled its head back, preparing to attack. Ling Tian held onto the tree and stared straight at it as it slowly stood up. His right hand was continuously bleeding, but the short sword was still tightly clenched.
In an instant, the Five Flower Python broke away from the tree and pounced towards him. Ling Tian took a step back, dodging the attack, only to see the Five Flower Python wrap itself around the tree behind Ling Tian, spitting apricots as it prepared to attack again.
Ling Tian controlled one of the clones to land on the python's tail, and instantly switched positions. A short sword nailed the python's tail onto a tree, and with a hiss, the python pounced at Ling Tian with its mouth wide open.
His large mouth suddenly appeared in front of him, and he dodged a few steps back. The tail of the Five Flower Python was nailed to the ground, and it was unable to advance in the slightest. The python's head was covered in blood. It suddenly went crazy, and with its tail broken, it charged towards Ling Tian to hold him back.
Leng Xingmeng, who was sitting on the ground, saw that Ling Tian had been entangled, so she raised her sword and charged towards the python. However, before the sword could even touch the python, it was sent flying and fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Ling Tian was entangled more and more tightly, the python opening its bloody maw and letting out a hissing sound as it charged towards Ling Tian's head.
Leng Xingmeng cried out in despair, "No!"
Seeing the bag drop to the ground, Leng Xingmeng sat down on the ground and cried, "Ah! Why! Why was it like this! It's all my fault! Ling Tian! It's all my fault! I'm the one who harmed you! "
Ling Tian's body was covered in blood, and he stabbed downwards with the sword in both hands, nailing the head of the python to the ground. As the tail of the python stopped swaying, a system notification popped up, "Congratulations, you have levelled up!"
Leng Xingmeng, who was crying so hard, watched as a person stood on the snake head and wiped his tears away. She threw her sword at him and said with a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry! "I'm sorry!"
Ling Tian, whose hands were covered in blood, did not dare to hug her. It's strangling me to death! "
Leng Xingmeng pushed him away and punched him a few times on the chest with her fist, cursing: "Strangle him to death! It really scared me to death just now! "
Ling Tian sat down vertically. He was indeed injured just now, and felt like his heart was about to break from the impact. As he sat on the ground, he forced a smile and said, "Looks like we'll have to eat it for lunch, do you mind?" With that, he pointed at the Five Flower Python.
Leng Xingmeng seemed to have noticed Ling Tian's unsightly expression as she knelt beside him and asked, "Are your injuries serious? I'll go get the medicine for you! " With that, he began to search the surrounding area.
Ling Tian leaned against a tree, eating a piece of the Great Python Grilled Meat as he looked at Leng Xingmeng, "Do you still remember the first time we met?"
Leng Xingmeng squatted in front of the fire and roasted the meat. She looked at Ling Tian before carefully looking at the roasted meat, "Why are you asking this? Of course I remember."
Ling Tian leaned on the tree and said, "The heavens are truly messing with me. The first time was when you fell under a tree, I gave you barbecue. Now, you have to turn it around and give it all back to me, haha."
Leng Xingmeng also smiled and asked, "Then why did you save me in the first place?"
Ling Tian then lowered his hand, looked at Leng Xingmeng and smiled, "I don't know either. Perhaps it's just boredom."
When Leng Xingmeng heard his words, she picked up the meat in her hand and threw it at him, cursing, "Bastard!"
After a few more rounds of fighting, the sky gradually darkened. The two of them sat beside the bonfire, eating and chatting until they fell asleep.
The next morning, Ling Tian felt pain in his chest and slowly opened his eyes. He saw that Leng Xingmeng had fallen asleep in his embrace. At this moment, she looked just like a cat, quiet and obedient.
Just as he was engrossed with the scene, Leng Xingmeng also slowly opened her eyes. Her four eyes met his, and Leng Xingmeng, who found herself in his arms, immediately pushed him away and shouted, "What did you do to me! Why are you hugging me! "
Ling Tian then said helplessly, "This is such a huge injustice!" I don't even know how you slept in my arms. How would I know what I did?
"
Leng Xingmeng raised her fist and punched Ling Tian in the chest, and immediately heard a miserable cry, "Ah!" He wasn't faking it, he was sure it was an internal injury that had yet to heal.
Cold Star dreamt of his sad expression and immediately whispered: "How is it? Do you feel any pain? "
Ling Tian then replied, "Yes, it's painful. What should I do?"
Seeing Ling Tian's expression, he immediately scolded: "What do we do? "Go to hell!"
The two of them bickered for a while, packed their luggage, and continued on their way to Lin Huang City.
After passing through a mountain range, they arrived at the imperial palace. Ling Tian sighed, "We've finally arrived! It's like I've been gone for half a year. "
As soon as Leng Xingmeng reacted, she angrily said, "Are you saying I'm slow!"
Seeing that she had spitefully gotten up again, Ling Tian quickly replied, "Nope! No! It's just that I'm too tired, which is why I feel slow. Yes, that's it. " Leng Xingmeng rolled her eyes at him, but still carried him towards the city.
Although he was in a sorry state, the captain of the city guards recognized him at a glance. He immediately went forward and paid his respects, "Master Hou! "What are you doing?"
Leng Xingmeng looked at Ling Tian with disdain as she said, "I can't tell, but you're still an official!"
Ling Tian then rolled his eyes at Leng Xingmeng and said to the leader with a smile, "I've suffered some injuries during this trip. This is a servant girl that I picked up."
When Leng Xingmeng heard this, she used her hands to pinch his waist in anger. Ling Tian immediately widened his eyes as his facial expression changed.
Looking at Ling Tian's uncomfortable expression, the guard captain said, "How about this one send the Marquis to the palace?"
Ling Tian then waved his hand, "No, I won't trouble captain anymore. I can walk by myself!" With that, he hurried back to the palace.
Once he left the guard captain, Ling Tian's tears began to flow as he shouted, "You can let go now! I know I was wrong! "From now on, you are my mother!"
Leng Xingmeng snorted, "Am I that old?"
"That's my sister, right?" Ling Tian hurriedly replied.
"That's more like it!" The two of them arrived at the palace. Ling Tian walked to the front of the main hall and called a servant to report to Cheng Wu, and the two of them waited at the door.
Leng Xingmeng then asked, "Just now I heard that gatekeeper call you Master Hou, is that a big official?"
Ling Tian looked at her with disdain as he replied, "Since you call me grandpa, how can it not be big?"
Before Leng Xingmeng could open her mouth, Gao Chengwu welcomed her happily and said, "Ling Tian! "You're finally back!" Seeing that there was a woman, he immediately became serious and asked, "Eh, this is?"
Just as Ling Tian wanted to introduce himself, Leng Xingmeng quickly said, "My name is Leng Xingmeng, what's your name?"
Gao Chengwu laughed, "Interesting! My name is Gao Chengwu! "Nice to meet you!" But he immediately reacted, he looked at Leng Xingmeng and continued, "Your surname is Leng? Who is Leng Tiexin to you? "
Leng Xingmeng also asked curiously, "You know my father?"
Gao Chengwu smiled again. "I was thinking, so it's Elder Iron's daughter. I'm your father's friend. Where is your father now?"
At the mention of Leng Tiexin, Leng Xingmeng lowered her head sadly and said, "My father is dead!"
"What!?" When did this happen? " Gao Chengwu frowned and asked.
Leng Xingmeng did not answer, instead, Ling Tian stepped forward and explained, "A few days ago, I was defeated by a person called Zhao Xuan in the Valley of the Butterfly. I was injured and went to the Immortal Realm."
Gao Chengwu frowned and said angrily: "Zhao Xuan! He was actually thinking of dominating the entire world! "Humph!"
Ling Tian asked curiously, "What is the background of this Zhao Xuan?"
