Chapter 152: Do you like being bitten by me?
Thorn stared at the orchid in Ye Fei's hand, somewhat surprised: "The Prisoner Orchid hasn't completely drained your flesh and blood yet?!"
“I’m sorry to disappoint you, but this Prisoner Orchid seems to have reached an agreement with me.” Ye Fei gently fiddled with the petals of the Prisoner Orchid, which obediently stretched its petals out in her palm. “Whenever I am in danger, it will come out from my wrist to attack the enemy—even if that enemy is the former owner who nurtured it.”
Thorn's face was full of disbelief.
He placed the Prisoner Orchid in the girl's wrist simply because she, like him, could manipulate plants with ease. He became interested on a whim and made her the test subject for the Prisoner Orchid.
And because the ring around her neck had Li Yuan's blood on it, he knew that she must be related to Li Yuan, so he took advantage of the situation to use her to track down Li Yuan.
But he never expected that Qiu Gulan would develop a protective instinct towards this girl!
Thorn gritted her teeth, her sharp gaze sweeping over Ye Fei.
There must be something special about this girl's constitution, otherwise, how could anyone in this world, besides him who cultivated her, completely subdue the demonic plant?!
Thorn straightened up slightly, a cold smile tugging at her red lips: "Poor thing, I underestimated you. I didn't expect you could completely subdue Prisoner Orchid."
"Although I am very interested in your physique, well... we have time."
As he spoke, he glanced at the masked boy again, his smile turning somewhat strange: "Li Yuan, the moonlight is perfect tonight, but I suspect you're about to reach your limit, aren't you?"
The boy did not answer.
Thorn raised a long, slender finger to her lips and gestured for Ye Fei to be quiet: "Poor thing, we... have a long future ahead of us!"
His figure suddenly transformed into wisps of crimson smoke, which dissipated with the night wind.
Ye Fei's eyes still gleamed with a cold light as she looked at her left hand, where the Prisoner Orchid slowly disappeared into her wrist.
Footsteps came from not far away. Ye Fei's expression changed slightly. Without saying a word, she grabbed the boy's hand and ran forward.
The boy looked down at the girl who was holding his hand.
A soft touch, a warmth emanating from my fingertips...
His heart felt like it was about to jump out of his chest. He pursed his thin lips and unconsciously intertwined his fingers with hers.
I wish time could stand still at this moment, even if it's just for such a brief instant.
...
Ye Fei pulled him to hide in a dark cave.
Those footsteps must have been Mu Jingshen's. He must have heard fighting and that's why he chased after them.
But Mu Jingshen came to kill Li Yuan, and she couldn't ignore it.
Ye Fei held her breath and used her wood-elemental spiritual energy to activate the plants to sense the surrounding situation. She had taken a long detour, so Mu Jingshen shouldn't be able to find her for a while.
She turned to look at the person behind her. Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was eerily silent.
"May I take off the mask on your face?" Ye Fei asked softly.
The boy did not react.
Ye Fei didn't care whether he agreed or not, and immediately reached out her hand.
The moment her fingertips touched the cool texture of the mask, the boy suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.
The force wasn't strong, but it was just enough to prevent her from pulling her hand away.
"Didn't I tell you to stay away from me these next few days?" A deep, husky voice came from behind the mask: "Why didn't you listen to me?"
Ye Fei pouted: "...I didn't."
"No? Wasn't the lesson learned last time enough?" Li Yuan used his other hand to brush her hair aside, his slender fingers tracing the spot on her neck where he had bitten her, the purple light in his eye sockets flashing even more brightly:
"Or do you like being bitten by me?"
