The Greatest Village Doctor In The World-Chapter 1887 - 1886: Eruption

Soon, the aroma of meat started wafting through the air.

Ling Feng and Sato Saori sat around the campfire, watching as the meat skewers turned golden brown and continued to sizzle with oil. He then turned to Xiang Zelan and said, "If you’re not afraid I spiked it, why don’t you come over and have some?"

"..."

Xiang Zelan remained silent.

The enticing smell of meat was indeed tempting, something she had never encountered before with such a rich roasted flavor.

Being a girl, saying she wasn’t tempted was impossible!

However, considering their opposing relationship, she felt it might be inappropriate to eat their food!

Struggling internally, Sato Saori chimed in, "Come on, no need to hesitate. We have different stances, but we’re not at war and not at an adversarial point. We’re all in the mountains, what’s the harm in sharing a meal together?"

After this was said, Xiang Zelan thought it over and nodded, "Alright!"

She got up and approached the campfire.

Ling Feng handed over a freshly grilled meat skewer, and Xiang Zelan took it, saying thank you.

After taking a light bite, her eyes instantly widened!

"What kind of meat is this?" Xiang Zelan asked.

"Fish!" Ling Feng replied.

"Fish meat? How could that be possible?"

Xiang Zelan looked down at the golden-brown chunks of meat and continued, "We, Dongying people, are accustomed to eating fish daily. What kind of fish is this?"

"One you’ve never seen before!"

Ling Feng chuckled, continuing, "This type of fish doesn’t exist on Earth!"

"Ah?"

Xiang Zelan was stunned, raising her head in dismay: "Is it, is it extraterrestrial?"

"Pretty much!"

Ling Feng nodded, "It’s a complex story, no need for lengthy explanations. If you enjoy it, feel free to eat more!"

Hearing this, Xiang Zelan felt compelled not to probe further and simply nodded, saying, "Alright."

Soon, the three devoured all the grilled meat!

"I feel so content!"

Sato Saori stretched lazily, visibly relaxed.

Ling Feng glanced at her, "You should get some exercise. Otherwise, you’ll easily gain weight by eating and sleeping constantly!"

Sato Saori gave him a sideways glance, "What? If I gain weight, will you no longer want me?"

"No way!"

Ling Feng chuckled, "Even if you become a meatball, I’d still want you!"

"That’s more like it!" Sato Saori rolled her eyes, but her lips curled in a broad smile.

As the two displayed affection openly, Xiang Zelan was obviously a bit awkward, so she stood up and said, "I won’t disturb you further, I’m going back to rest."

She quickly stood up, returning to her tent.

Ling Feng and Sato Saori exchanged a glance and laughed silently.

Afterwards, Sato Saori winked at Ling Feng, "How about we exercise a bit in the tent?"

"Uh..."

Ling Feng hesitated, somewhat speechless as he looked at her, "You’re doing this on purpose, right? You make so much noise; it’s bound to be embarrassing for her!"

"She should be prepared for this!"

Sato Saori chuckled, "She wasn’t exactly invited by us!"

"You’re something else!"

Ling Feng smiled wryly, then said, "Purposefully making her uncomfortable, is that really okay?"

"What? Are you suddenly feeling protective?"

Sato Saori gave him a sly look, squinting, "If you want to visit her tent across the way, I wouldn’t mind!"

"Uh, stop joking!"

Ling Feng shot her a glance and then entered the tent, "Come on, tonight I won’t let you off easily!"

"Hmph!"

Sato Saori feigned disdain but immediately crawled into the tent.

...

...

A night went by without incident outside, and the volcano showed no activity.

In the morning, Ling Feng got up to wash and saw Xiang Zelan emerging from her tent, head down avoiding eye contact.

Seeing her demeanor, he knew exactly what was going on.

Sato Saori had mischievously been loud last night, letting Xiang Zelan hear it on purpose.

And having gone on for over two hours, who knows how Xiang Zelan managed the night.

Judging by her current demeanor, one could tell how awkward she felt.

Ling Feng chuckled, not saying a word, knowing they weren’t actually pals.

After freshening up, he started preparing breakfast, noticing Xiang Zelan bringing out compressed biscuits from her backpack. Ling Feng spoke up, "Why not eat together? I’ve made your share!"

"No, no thanks."

Xiang Zelan shook her head, still not daring to look at him.

Ling Feng laughed softly, then asked, "Are you really planning on tagging along with us this whole time?"

"It’s my duty!"

Xiang Zelan replied curtly, continuing to nibble on her biscuit.

"But you should know, when the volcano erupts and the item appears, I will definitely take it!" Ling Feng said.

"I won’t allow you to do that!" Xiang Zelan lifted her head with determination.

Ling Feng was speechless, thinking to himself, how could she stop him?

Yet he refrained from voicing this, after all, she was a lady; it’s better to keep things mild.

Once breakfast was ready, Sato Saori emerged from her tent as well.

Her hair disheveled, eyes half-closed, making Ling Feng chuckle, "Go get cleaned up, you look like a refugee!"

"Isn’t it because of you?"

Sato Saori shot him a look, then went to freshen up.

During breakfast, Ling Feng asked, "It’s been two nights, why is there no sign of activity?"

"I’m not sure, but it should be soon. You’re not getting anxious, are you?" Sato Saori asked.

"No, just a bit bored!" Ling Feng laughed.

Sato Saori glanced at him, "Bored? I’ve been keeping you company for two wonderful nights, and you still say you’re bored?"

"Uh..."

Ling Feng was at a loss for words, rolling his eyes twice.

Just as they were speaking, he suddenly sensed a tremor from the ground, vibrations emanating from the depths!

Turning back, he saw the white wisps of smoke at the volcano’s summit had now transformed into a towering column!

"It’s starting!"

Ling Feng squinted, his Divine Sense enveloping the mountain top instantly.

The rocks there, previously filled with crack-like webs, had become significantly larger, releasing massive amounts of hot air!

All three stood up, and Ling Feng turned to Sato Saori and said, "Pack up; it’s time to go!"

"Alright!"

Sato Saori nodded, quickly starting to pack the tent and sleeping bags.

Xiang Zelan, meanwhile, had whipped out her satellite phone, rapidly reporting the volcanic activity to someone.

Ling Feng glanced at her, saying nothing, his gaze returning to the summit.

After the initial shake underfoot, tremors began to pulse regularly through the earth, the magma within the volcano evidently gearing up, ready to erupt!

Soon, the summit belched a plume of black smoke, shooting straight into the sky!

Moments later, the loud sounds finally reached them.

Ling Feng narrowed his eyes, "Time to move out!"
