Cultivation Simulator: Shocking the Academy-Chapter 436 - 289: Using War to Stop War
The brightness spread across the entire field of vision in an instant. Luo Chen felt a sharp pain in his head and then slowly opened his eyes. What met his gaze was the bright and concerned eyes of the kitten. Her gaze seemed to contain a faint glow, warm and gentle.
"Where am I?" Luo Chen asked in a somewhat dazed manner. His voice was hoarse and low, evidently having suffered a significant injury.
"In my arms, hehe." The kitten’s cheeks flushed slightly as she replied with a light laugh, her expression unusually relaxed. It was as if as long as Luo Chen was in her arms, there would be no danger to him at all.
Hearing this, Luo Chen also wanted to laugh, but as soon as his mouth twitched, a sharp pain assaulted him, "It hurts so much..." he couldn’t help but groan softly.
"Don’t move recklessly, the wound can easily tear." The kitten hurriedly placed her jade-like hand on Luo Chen’s shoulder, her face full of worry and tension, "Thirsty? Let me feed you some water..." she said gently, picking up a water pouch and bringing it to Luo Chen’s lips.
The sweet water slowly flowed into his mouth, soothing his parched throat. Looking at the gentle smile on the kitten’s face, an indescribable feeling surged in Luo Chen’s heart. At this moment, he seemed to forget all the pain and confusion and just wanted to look at her quietly and feel her presence.
However, this warm moment didn’t last long. Lan Shen’s envious voice sounded again: "Kitten sis is really good to him, tsk tsk, look at that gaze, just like looking at a lover." His words carried a hint of teasing and ridicule, clearly intending to break the slightly awkward atmosphere.
Luo Chen and the kitten came to their senses simultaneously, the kitten’s cheeks flushed again. She glared at Lan Shen and said nothing, pretending to be angry as she turned her head to the side. Luo Chen awkwardly smiled, not knowing how to respond.
At this moment, Liu Deng also walked over, looking at Luo Chen with a livid face, his fists clenched tightly. Clearly, he was very displeased and jealous of the kitten taking such care of Luo Chen. But he didn’t erupt directly; instead, he took a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart.
"Kitten, we should set off now." Liu Deng tried to make his voice sound calmer, "This place isn’t safe to stay for long. If we encounter any danger again, it will be troublesome." He looked at Luo Chen, "As for him... leave it to me." Though his tone carried some reluctance, he wouldn’t shirk his duty since they decided to take Luo Chen along.
The kitten nodded at his words, knowing Liu Deng was right. This place indeed wasn’t safe for long, and they had more important missions to accomplish. So she gently helped Luo Chen up, letting him lean on her, "Can you walk?" she asked with concern.
Luo Chen tried to move his body. Although there was still some pain, it was much better than before, "I can." he said firmly, not wanting to be a burden to everyone. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
In the night, the wind gently brushed through the trees, carrying a bit of chill. Liu Deng glared angrily at Lan Shen, threatening with clenched teeth, "Shut your mouth, Lan Shen. Be careful, or I’ll tear your filthy mouth apart!" His voice was exceptionally harsh in the silent night.
However, just then, the petite girl Feilin suddenly shushed and softly reminded, "Liu Deng, lower your voice, there seems to be a commotion." Her gaze was fixed on the depths of the woods, where some unusual stirrings seemed to be happening. With her reminder, everyone quieted down, straining their ears to listen.
The silent blue-haired boy also frowned slightly. His expression was grave as he looked at the swaying shadows of the trees, holding his Longsword tightly as if preparing for the unknown situation about to unfold. Liu Deng and Lan Shen also ceased their squabble, both looking towards the depths of the woods.
In the night, a rustling sound seemed to come from the darkness, and the looming sense of unease made everyone more alert than ever. The kitten also stopped feeding Luo Chen water, looking in that direction with traces of tension in her eyes.
The gentle breeze rustled through the leaves, producing a rustling sound that seemed particularly eerie in the night. The moonlight faintly spilled between the trees, and a thin figure suddenly walked into their line of sight.
