Chapter 117 - Separation

The night sky was dotted with stars, and occasional cool breezes made the fire in front of the cave dance with the wind, snapping and crackling among the burning branches.Seeing that Ye Chenfeng really had no interest in joining the military region, Hu Wei didn’t insist on wasting any more words.

To be friends with a master like Ye Chenfeng made him very happy; many times in life, one must not be greedy.

“Chenfeng,” Wu Xiaofei called out softly from the mouth of the cave, and as for Sun Beibei not following behind her, it seemed she had been subdued.

Hu Wei was no fool; he coughed twice and said, “Sitting all day is pretty tiring, I’ll go stretch my muscles a bit, you two chat.”

With Hu Wei gone, Wu Xiaofei sat down next to Ye Chenfeng, admiring his distinct facial features.

She was finding it increasingly difficult to understand this “younger brother.”

Wu Xiaofei and Ye Chenfeng had been very close since they were young, and she simply couldn’t understand how Ye Chenfeng had become so formidable.

When she saw the video of Ye Chenfeng at the Strong Soldier Training Camp in Grandpa Wu’s room, she had been looking for an opportunity to ask him about it.

Who would have thought they would meet under such circumstances?

Moreover, Ye Chenfeng appeared as a hero saving a damsel in distress.

After applying the herbs Ye Chenfeng had chewed to her arm, the wound was slowly healing.

She had never known that Ye Chenfeng understood medical skills, let alone how to roast a wild rabbit – and to do it so deliciously at that.

Even before the anxiety disorder, Ye Chenfeng was a young master who couldn’t even cook a meal!

All these changes made Wu Xiaofei’s doubts grow stronger.

If it weren’t for the familiar face before her, she would have suspected that this Ye Chenfeng was not her childhood friend at all.

“Xiaofei, it’s so cold outside, why don’t you go rest?” Ye Chenfeng asked with concern.

He decided not to tell Wu Xiaofei about their engagement; after all, she would naturally learn about it once she returned to Capital City.

Wu Xiaofei pursed her lips and asked, “Chenfeng, can you tell me why your skills have become so good?”

Ye Chenfeng shrugged his shoulders and said, “Sister Xiaofei, how do I explain this to you?

Ever since my panic disorder was cured, I found that my skills had become incredibly powerful, and I felt like a completely different person.” Ye Chenfeng told a kind lie.

Wu Xiaofei nodded silently; Ye Chenfeng’s transformation had all occurred after his panic disorder was cured, so Wu Xiaofei didn’t think that Ye Chenfeng was lying.

After all, there were too many strange and wonderful things in this world.

Playing with her hair, Wu Xiaofei’s expression grew more seductive.

Now that she was certain of her feelings for Ye Chenfeng, she wanted to express them, but was unsure how to do so, having always taken on the role of an older sister in front of him.

Seeing Wu Xiaofei become so feminine, Ye Chenfeng felt uneasy, thinking, “Could it be that Sister Xiaofei has feelings for me?

If that’s the case, it would really be troublesome.”

Ye Chenfeng couldn’t help but inwardly smile wryly.

He didn’t know how to handle the two women Tang Xin and Zhao Wanting; although Zhao Wanting said she didn’t need him to take responsibility, Ye Chenfeng wasn’t the kind of person to eat his fill and leave without a second thought.

If Wu Xiaofei was added to the equation, it would truly become a case of ‘three’s a crowd.’ Ye Chenfeng didn’t consider it good fortune. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs ɴo(v)elFɪre.ɴet

What he wanted most was to improve his strength.

His parents’ car accident involved a practitioner from the Ancient Martial World, and with his current level five Soul Force, he feared it wouldn’t be enough.

He didn’t know how powerful the masters of the Ancient Martial World were in this era?

“Chenfeng, what do you think of me?” Wu Xiaofei’s voice was soft, almost a whisper, which really surprised Ye Chenfeng who was used to the forthright big sister Xiaofei!

Looking at Wu Xiaofei’s hopeful eyes, Ye Chenfeng really didn’t want to say anything hurtful.

Wu Xiaofei held a significant place in his heart, he didn’t want to see his big sister Xiaofei heartbroken, so he said, “Xiaofei, you are really great!”

“That’s not what I’m asking.

If I were your girlfriend, would you want it?” Wu Xiaofei couldn’t help but be too explicit for a moment.

Feeling Ye Chenfeng’s burning gaze, her cheeks turned crimson, and she really wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

She quickly stood up and said, “Chenfeng, why are you looking at me like that?

I was just kidding!

It’s also getting late, I’m going to sleep.”

Watching Wu Xiaofei’s awkward departure, Ye Chenfeng sighed helplessly.

All of Wu Xiaofei’s actions had proven that she had developed feelings for Ye Chenfeng.

The next day, Hu Wei, Wu Xiaofei, and Sun Beibei were leaving the Primeval Forest.

Already yesterday, Hu Wei had made contact with people coming to pick them up, and today they were going to transport back the bodies of the soldiers who had made the ultimate sacrifice.

“Chenfeng, are you really not coming back to Capital City with us?” After waking up, Wu Xiaofei had completely forgotten the embarrassing question from last night and looked at Ye Chenfeng reluctantly, asking.

Ye Chenfeng shook his head and said, “Xiaofei, I still have things to do here.

The New Year isn’t too many months away now, and I should be back in Capital City when it comes.”

“Ye Chenfeng, when you come back to Capital City, you must come to see us at the Capital Military Region, and most importantly, I want to eat the rabbit you roast,” Sun Beibei was still not over Ye Chenfeng’s roasted wild rabbit.

Just thinking about that mouthwatering taste made her stomach start grumbling again.

“Brother Ye, since you’re not coming back to Capital City with us, you’ll have to take care of yourself in the Primeval Forest.

I have to thank you for this time around; if it weren’t for you, I might already be in Yama’s Palace.

After you get back to Capital City, we must have a good drink together, and don’t forget to come find me then!” Hu Wei extended his hand and shook Ye Chenfeng’s hand as a polite gesture.

Ye Chenfeng exchanged a few words of farewell and then darted into the lush forest.

The people coming to pick up Hu Wei and the others would be arriving soon, and Ye Chenfeng didn’t need to stay any longer.

After all, the fewer people who knew about his business, the better.

He definitely didn’t want the people in Capital City to know about his change just yet!

Wu Xiaofei’s longing eyes followed Ye Chenfeng as he vanished from sight, a wave of disappointment in her heart, regretting why she wasn’t brave enough to express her feelings last night.

“Xiaofei, stop looking, he’s long gone,” Sun Beibei said teasingly.

Wu Xiaofei came back to her senses, her cheeks slightly flushed, “You girl, it seems the lesson you got yesterday wasn’t harsh enough!” With that, Wu Xiaofei lunged at Sun Beibei.

Hu Wei shook his head with a smile, looking in the direction where Ye Chenfeng had left, thinking to himself, “Ye Chenfeng, I look forward to the day when you make a strong return to Capital City, to really show those people in Capital City who the real waste is?”

Not long after Ye Chenfeng left, several helicopters flew overhead.

It appeared that the reinforcement coming for Hu Wei and the others had arrived.
