Chapter 115 - Good Man

“Huff huff huff huff huff—”Hu Wei, out of breath, ran into the cave.

Ye Chenfeng’s speed had been too fast just now.

In the blink of an eye, he couldn’t keep up with the other party’s pace despite summoning all his strength.

His physical fitness might rank well within the military region, but it paled in comparison to Ye Chenfeng.

He finally understood what the saying ‘There is always someone better out there’ truly meant.

“Brother Ye, you, you, sure, sure can run fast.

Couldn’t you wait for me?” Hu Wei said in a staggered breath.

When he caught his breath and looked up to see Ye Chenfeng with his arm around Wu Xiaofei, he couldn’t help but think, “Brother Ye is so freaking awesome, isn’t he?

Wu Xiaofei is no ordinary woman!

And just like that, Brother Ye has got her?”

Thinking so, Hu Wei scratched his head awkwardly and said, “Sorry to interrupt, you two carry on, I’ll keep watch outside for you.”

Hu Wei actually really hoped that Ye Chenfeng could end up with Wu Xiaofei!

That way, Ye Chenfeng could return to Capital City with them, right?

It would make it much easier to recruit him, a master, into the Capital Military Region.

Blushing, Wu Xiaofei said, “Captain, what are you talking about!

Chenfeng and I have known each other for a long time.” Then she added, “By the way, Captain, how did you run into Chenfeng?”

“You’ve known each other for a long time?” Hu Wei looked at Wu Xiaofei and mumbled under his breath, “Ye Chenfeng, Ye Chenfeng, Ye Chenfeng…”

“No way!” A thought struck Hu Wei like a flash.

The Ye Chenfeng Wu Xiaofei knew was none other than the Yes’ young master from Capital City, the one afflicted with panic disorder, right?

Could this Ye Chenfeng be a different Ye Chenfeng?

After all, the Ye Chenfeng of Capital City was rumored to be absolutely useless, while this Ye Chenfeng was not only a master but the most formidable one he had ever seen.

If this was indeed the rumored wastrel of Capital City’s Ye family, then everyone in Capital City must be bloody blind.

“Captain, your guess is correct.

He’s Ye Chenfeng of the Ye family from Capital City,” Wu Xiaofei confirmed Hu Wei’s suspicion with her gaze.

She was already beginning to brace herself to become Ye Chenfeng’s woman.

Seeing her man worshipped by others, she felt even happier than Ye Chenfeng himself!

“No way, Brother Ye, you really are the Yes’ Ye Chenfeng?” When Hu Wei first heard Ye Chenfeng introduce himself, he hadn’t thought much of it; after all, there were too many people with the same name in this world.

Ye Chenfeng nodded and said, “I am Ye Chenfeng of the Yes.”

“It seems that rumors really can’t be trusted!” Hu Wei felt particularly emotional.

“Brother Hu, please keep my affairs a secret.

I don’t want too many people in Capital City to know about my change,” Ye Chenfeng, a few years younger than Hu Wei, called the other ‘brother’ without overstepping.

Moreover, Ye Chenfeng was looking forward to giving everyone in Capital City’s prestigious families a “surprise” later on!

Hu Wei hastily said, “Brother Ye, I absolutely won’t reveal a word about your affairs.

If it weren’t for encountering you today, I fear our team would’ve been completely wiped out.”

“Captain, Xiaofei, and that handsome guy, did you forget about me?” Another military medic was still tied up with ropes!

Her name was Sun Beibei and she was very close with Wu Xiaofei.

Hu Wei helped Sun Beibei untie the ropes around her body, then asked, “Sun Beibei, what happened to the other two team members that were captured by these beasts?”

Sun Beibei’s face, just recovering from the shock, soon turned to sorrow as she said, “Captain, they were killed by those little devils.”

Saying this, Sun Beibei and Wu Xiaofei, along with Ye Chenfeng and Hu Wei, walked out of the cave towards a large tree not too far away.

There, they saw the bodies of two Huaxia Country soldiers hanging from the tree trunk; they were gruesomely strangled to death by those barbarians from the Island Nation.

Hu Wei pulled out a military knife from his waist, cut the hemp rope that bound the heads of two soldiers, and slowly brought down their bodies.

Gazing at the corpses on the ground, he said, “Brothers, I, Hu Wei, have let you down!

I, as your captain, have been utterly useless.”

“Captain, you can’t blame yourself for this.

If there’s anyone to blame, it would be those beasts, the Islanders,” Sun Beibei consoled.

After that, Hu Wei, along with Sun Beibei and Wu Xiaofei, took care of their deceased comrades’ bodies.

Ye Chenfeng also joined in to help.

Hu Wei did not want to see the corpses of his team members exposed in the wilderness.

His intention was to bring back the bodies of the valiantly fallen soldiers, which was the only thing he could do now.

After all the bodies were taken care of, night fell.

Hu Wei lit a bonfire in front of the cave to keep warm.

As for the bodies of the Islanders, they had long been moved deeper into the forest to feed the wild beasts.

Wu Xiaofei’s beautiful eyes were intently fixed on the distance.

Ye Chenfeng had said he was going to leave for a while, but he still hadn’t returned!

She was truly afraid something had happened to him.

“Xiaofei sister, you can relax.

Your dear brother Ye is so capable, he surely won’t have any accidents,” said Sun Beibei, her mood gradually stabilizing after a brief respite.

“That’s right, Brother Ye’s skills are indeed formidable!

He’s certainly the most impressive person I’ve ever met,” Hu Wei wasn’t exaggerating; this was his most heartfelt sentiment.

“Captain, Beibei, what are you talking about!

Chenfeng and I have a sibling relationship,” Wu Xiaofei said.

Although she no longer rejected the idea of being lovers with Ye Chenfeng, she couldn’t quite stand listening to others tease her about it!

A faint rustling sound came from the nearby bushes, followed by a dark figure dashing out—it was Ye Chenfeng!

In his hands, he carried a skinned hare and some herbs found in the Primeval Forest.

Ye Chenfeng had noticed earlier that Wu Xiaofei’s arm was injured.

If the wound were not treated in time, it could become infected, and worst case, it might even require amputation.

“Xiaofei sister, let me have a look at your arm,” Ye Chenfeng said earnestly.

Wu Xiaofei’s cheeks flushed slightly as she whispered, “Chenfeng, what do you want to see my arm for?”

Ye Chenfeng straightforwardly replied, “Xiaofei sister, if the wound on your arm is not treated promptly, it could become troublesome.

I’ve found some medicinal herbs in the Primeval Forest that should help heal it.”

“So that’s why!” Wu Xiaofei felt a wave of inexplicable disappointment, but still extended her injured arm and asked, “Chenfeng, do you also understand medical skills?”

“I know how to perform basic treatments,” Ye Chenfeng casually answered, then began to chew the herbs in his mouth.

Wu Xiaofei watched Ye Chenfeng furrowing his brows as he chewed, feeling a sweetness in her heart. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ ɴovᴇl(ꜰ)ir(e).nᴇt

Was Chenfeng chewing medicinal herbs for me?

While Wu Xiaofei was lost in thought, Ye Chenfeng spat out the chewed herbs and gently applied them to the wound on Wu Xiaofei’s arm.

Wu Xiaofei felt a cooling sensation on her arm, and the slight pain from the wound vanished completely.

Thinking about the spit in the herbs from Ye Chenfeng’s mouth, and recalling how he had frowned while chewing the herbs, her cheeks couldn’t help but grow redder.

In her heart, she silently thought, “Chenfeng will surely be a good man, a good husband someday.”
