145: Chapter 145 The Beauty's Mission Has Arrived...

"Since it is your final wish, I will fulfill it..."

Mu Wanqing's voice was filled with heartbreaking sorrow and determination.

At the bottom of the dark, cold cave, where only the sound of dripping water echoed, she cast aside all her former pride, reserve, and purity.

Her bright red lips gently pressed down.

Time seemed to lose all meaning in the enclosed space; one hour, two hours... several hours passed silently.

Until a faint glimmer of morning light seeped into the cave.

Qin Feng, who was supposedly "dying," not only hadn't taken his last breath, but after several hours of exertion, he remained as vigorous as ever.

The violent blood energy of his Heavenly Tyrant Body was like an inexhaustible volcano, terrifyingly powerful.

In contrast, Mu Wanqing, who was already severely injured with her True Essence scattered, could barely lift a finger.

She lay tightly pressed against Qin Feng's broad, solid chest, listening to his strong, steady heartbeat. Under normal circumstances, she should have found it strange, but a woman plunged into extreme grief and despair often has zero intelligence.

She simply assumed this was Qin Feng's final moment of clarity before death, a mercy from the heavens granting them a few extra hours of intimacy.

"Feng..." Mu Wanqing lifted her head; her stunning face was covered in tear tracks, and her voice was hoarsely heartbreaking.

Her eyes were red-rimmed, and large drops of tears fell uncontrollably down her cheeks, landing on Qin Feng's collarbone, hot and scalding.

"You are my only man... and the man I have chosen for this lifetime."

With a sorrowful voice, Mu Wanqing extended her trembling hand and gently stroked the man's chiseled cheek, her eyes filled with reluctance and despair. Sobbing uncontrollably, she said, "Why is the heavens so cruel? I just found you, just learned what love is, and now I have to watch you be taken away..."

"I wish so much that the heavens would give me a chance, even if it meant trading my own life..."

"I want to stay with you for a long, long time... forever..." Every word was written in blood, every sentence tore at her heart.

Looking at Qin Feng's eyes, which remained "tightly shut," Mu Wanqing assumed his life had reached its end.

Enduring the heart-wrenching pain, she slowly lowered her head and left one last cold kiss on Qin Feng's lips.

Afterward, she extended her hand and slowly helped Qin Feng close his eyes.

At this moment, Qin Feng, who was still lying comfortably in place, suddenly heard a series of crisp, pleasant electronic sounds in his mind!

[Ding! Suitable target for assistance detected: Mu Wanqing.]

[System mission issued: The target is currently plunged into extreme grief and despair. Host, please extend a helping hand and prevent her from being so sad and heartbroken.]

[Mission Reward: One Mysterious Gift Pack!]

Hearing the System's notification in his mind, Qin Feng kept his eyes closed and held his breath, but his heart was pounding wildly, followed by an indescribable sense of difficulty and conflict.

'Damn, a mission at a time like this? This System really knows how to watch a show.'

Qin Feng complained frantically in his heart. After all, the current situation was extremely awkward. If he suddenly opened his eyes, jumped up, and said to Mu Wanqing, 'Surprised? Unexpected? I'm actually totally fine; I was just tricking you!'

Given Mu Wanqing's innate pride and strong character, she would absolutely collapse instantly. The humiliation of having her feelings toyed with and her purity deceived would not stop her from being sad; instead, it would cause her grief to surge instantly.

She might even attack him directly, and at that point, the high-mountain flower he had just conquered would turn into an enemy, and the mission would fail.

'No, waking up now is definitely the wrong path; it would surely backfire.' Qin Feng's thoughts raced, his brain working at high speed.

'The old rule: let the bullets fly for a while. I'll wait to find a suitable, natural, and flawless excuse before "resurrecting"!'

Having made up his mind, Qin Feng simply relaxed his body and continued to keep his energy restrained to the extreme, lowering his heartbeat and pulse to the minimum point. He looked even more like a dead man than a real corpse.

"Wuwuwu..." Beside his ear, Mu Wanqing's suppressed weeping gradually turned into low sobs. She struggled to climb up from the ground and wrapped her tattered clothes around herself.

"Feng, I cannot leave you on this cold ground, and I cannot let those Yao Beasts desecrate your body..." Mu Wanqing muttered to herself, her eyes becoming empty and numb.

She staggered to a patch of soft soil in the corner of the cave. With no True Essence and no tools, this dignified Qi Refining Level 9 expert knelt on the ground. Using those fair, delicate hands that were originally meant for holding swords and playing the zither, she curled her fingers into claws and began to dig into the hard soil and gravel bit by bit.

"Rip!" Sharp stones cut her fingertips, and blood instantly gushed out, staining the soil red. But Mu Wanqing seemed unable to feel the pain, digging mechanically and frantically.

After digging for a full hour, a pit large enough to accommodate a person was finally dug out by hand. Afterward, she staggered back to Qin Feng's side and used the very last bit of strength in her body to drag his heavy, strong frame to the edge of the pit.

"Thud." With a muffled sound, Qin Feng was gently pushed to the bottom of the pit by Mu Wanqing. Lying in the mud pit, Qin Feng only felt a chill on his back.

He listened to the sound of the woman sobbing above and felt handful after handful of soil mixed with dirt beginning to sprinkle down onto his face and body.

Ten thousand beasts stampeded through Qin Feng's heart, and he was covered in black lines. 'If I don't wake up now, I'm actually going to be buried alive. But how exactly should I make this lie hold up? That is the question.'

Just as Qin Feng was lying at the bottom of the pit, half-buried in soil, and still frantically struggling with how to perfect his lie, "Clap! Clap!" A crisp and arrogant sound of clapping suddenly rang out from outside the cave.

The sudden sound exploded like a thunderclap in the deathly silent cave. Mu Wanqing, who was burying the soil, stiffened suddenly and turned her head as if struck by lightning, gazing out along the dark passageway.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, little beauty, we meet again." Accompanied by a cold and mocking voice, two figures swaggered in from the entrance of the passage.

Walking in front was none other than Senior Brother Zhao, bare-chested with a ferocious, fleshy face! And following behind him was Huo Kai, hunched over like a dog with a sinister and fawning expression on his face!

"Senior Brother Zhao?! Huo Kai?!" The moment she saw who it was, Mu Wanqing's pupils shrank to the size of pinpricks, and a bone-chilling cold shot from the soles of her feet straight to her scalp. How did they find their way down here?!
