Chapter 216: Don't Do This

Traveling during the night wasnt a wise decision, so they set up camp in the outpost. Their reinforcements had also arrived just as they finished. The team had now increased to a hundred people.

We have too many people. This isnt ideal for our next move, so the reinforcements should stay at the outpost to provide immediate support the moment the elite group encounters any danger. Well also wait for another squad to arrive from the fortress, Li Yunfei said.

The leader of the reinforcement team had no objections. The more people they had in the wilderness, the higher the number of beasts they would encounter.

So what about them? The leader pointed toward Xiang Ning and Fang Rou. He had direct orders to safely escort both of them back.

Li Yunfei naturally knew about it. Fang Rou, due to the unforeseen circumstances and the appearance of the Seven Deadly Sins, the situation is now too dangerous for you to be here. You must return to the fortress. Because of the cult members, there were now too many uncertainties, especially when they knew that Fang Rou was their target. To lure Fang Zhenyuan out of Tranquil City, there was a very high chance that more cult members would appear.

But I still want to find my brother. Fang Rou clenched her fist. They still didnt know the status of Fang Hao, how could she just return?

Xiang Ning was observing the situation from the side. The reason he was there was to escort Fang Rou back, but now he wasnt so sure after seeing how worried she was.

I cant let you do that. Its an order from your father. He needs to ensure that you are safe. He even left you a message that he wanted you to accompany him when he is old.

But. Fang Rou bit her lips.

Let me go in your stead. Xiang Ning gently patted her head. His voice was equally gentle, as if he was consoling a child.

Xiang Ning, Ive already said that we need to escort both of you, the team leader said.

No, I think it should be alright if Xiang Ning is the one to follow us. Hes strong and we have great chemistry during our fights. If we were to encounter some strong beasts, having him on our side would greatly decrease the risk of annihilation, Li Yunfei reasoned.

Xiang Ning nodded his head in agreement. Li Yunfei was right, The outpost marked the boundary between the dangerous areas of the wilderness and the normal wilderness. Once they went past the outpost they would find themselves in the domain of multiple stronger beasts. If the convoy were to encounter a few of the stronger beasts, they could either take a detour or fight them straight on. Taking a detour would waste a lot more time and stress them out. Not only that, they had already been delayed by the cult members by an entire day. Time was running out.

Hey, you cant do that! I still have my orders

Hmph, do you think you can monitor him for an entire day? Li Yunfei was adamant. He wanted to tell them that even if they took Xiang Ning back, there would be no way for them to control him.

Leader, dont worry about your responsibility. Im not part of the military, so I have no reason to listen to their orders. This is my own choice, said Xiang Ning.

This alright, fine.

......

The night was long. Xiang Ning was trying to sleep in the back of a truck, but his mind was wandering.

Hmm? Why are you here? Xiang Ning got up and saw Fang Rou standing just outside. He smiled and pulled her up into the truck. Both of them were now sitting just opposite of each other. His gaze met hers and she blushed.

Tha thank you, Fang Rou muttered, her voice soft and sweet.

Xiang Ning leaned back and an idea hatched in his head. He wanted to tease her. So dont you think you should do something to thank me?

She lowered her head when she heard that, but her body was slowly inching closer to his. Suddenly, he felt uneasy. Wait, what is she doing? Just as he wanted to say something, she pounced. She pushed him down, her once vibrant eyes now glazed and mesmerized. He was utterly powerless.

He swallowed some saliva as he tried moving back even further. There was something different about Fang Rou tonight. Her shy gaze had transformed into the eyes of a predator and Xiang Ning was her prey. She even licked her lips.

He tried putting some distance between them, but his back soon touched the cold metallic wall of the truck. You. What are you doing?

Fang Rou was initially embarrassed about it, but she wanted to get back at him and tried some of the moves she had seen in a comic. But seeing how effective it was, she couldnt hold it in and cheerfully laughed. Hehe, to think that the comics didnt lie~ This is so fun!

Xiang Ning, do you think Im pretty? She pushed on even further.

Xiang Ning tried to escape. Wait, wait, wait. Yes, youre pretty, but I prefer the original Fang Rou.

Oh? And how do I look originally? Fang Rou gripped his arm and lightly licked his fingers. A new sensation ran through Xiang Nings body like a surge of electricity. He took back his hand and looked at her with horror in his eyes. No, no this aint right, I cant do this.

Fang Rou was barely holding back her laughter. Hes so cute! Haha, this is revenge for all the teasing you did to me last time. Her inner demon was gradually taking control of her.

She stood up and clasped his head with her hands. Her fingers were barely caressing his ears as her long black hair draped around his shoulder. Her gaze was locked with his as tension soared. His eyes were trembling as words got stuck in his throat.

Wait, wait, hold up. I was just joking! I dont need any thanks! Please let me go! I cant stand it any longer. He finally caved and gave up, just like a weak puppy.

Fang Rou never thought that he could be so cute. Now she wanted to torture him even more; chances like this were rare to come by! As she thought that she gently lifted his chin and softly exhaled. So, am I really that scary?

You I argh, I cant do this anymore!

Fang Rou was confused as to what he meant, then suddenly felt the world turn as Xiang Ning twisted his body. When she opened her eyes she realized that he was now on top of her.

I WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS. IS THIS IT?!
