Chapter 286

Looking around, Fire Linger was lying beside the bonfire, seemingly drunk, one small hand constantly reaching out.

“Water!”

Her eyes were tightly shut, her lips pale, and she murmured unconsciously.

Brother Zhong was suspicious!

So, she just wanted to find water to drink?

And she found her way to him?

The bonfire nearby flickered, bright and dim.

It reflected Brother Zhong's complex expression.

He felt like he had been teased.

But looking at Fire Linger's current state… it didn't seem like it.

Brother Zhong swiped with one hand, and as divine light flickered, a drop of water condensed directly from the Void Realm, slowly pouring into Fire Linger's mouth.

He could tell that this girl was still a virgin, so she shouldn't be that casual of a person.

“Perhaps, this was just an unintentional mistake!”

Dusk was falling!

Devilish Qi churned in the distance.

Brother Zhong also lost his sleepiness.

He sat upright on a large boulder.

Inside Demon City, there was no change between day and night.

One could only rely on their six senses to perceive the passage of time.

About a night later.

With a soft groan, Fire Linger slowly woke up.

“Brother Zhong!”

A soft call.

Fire Linger rubbed her forehead and greeted Brother Zhong.

Brother Zhong looked at her deeply.

Seeing no abnormality on her face, the last bit of doubt in his heart completely vanished.

“Let’s go!”

“Today, I’ll take you to see other places!”

The two set off again.

This journey had no destination, no return date.

All that was present was Fire Linger’s cheerful voice echoing through the mountains.

“Brother Zhong, can you tell me about your past stories?”

…

“A remarkable man like you must have many women who are fond of you in this world!”

…

“The Bai Ling you mentioned earlier, is that the one from the North Demon Cave? Can you tell me your story with her?”

…

Along the way, Fire Linger chattered incessantly, as if she had unleashed some kind of natural disposition.

A red and a white figure, in these mountains, actually had a strange harmony.

It was just that this girl’s curiosity was truly too strong.

It seemed she was interested in everything about Brother Zhong.

Of course, for topics Brother Zhong didn't want to discuss, she very sensibly didn't bring them up again.

In between, she also interspersed some of her life experiences.

Sharing her joys and sorrows, love and hate with Brother Zhong!

This feeling was quite wonderful.

The two walked and rested along the way.

Their footprints covered a good portion of Demon City.

Sometimes, Fire Linger would follow behind Brother Zhong like a little sidekick.

Sometimes, she would discuss life's Three Views with Brother Zhong like a friend.

When she was happy, she would laugh uninhibitedly.

Her laughter seemed infectious.

Even Brother Zhong's mood couldn't help but become a little lighter.

One day, the two arrived at a cliff waterfall!

Below the waterfall was a secluded, cold pond, with wisps of Devilish Qi swirling.

Around the secluded spring, flowers and plants stood tall, as red as blood!

“Brother Zhong, how about we rest here?”

Fire Linger bent down and picked a small red flower by the roadside, her tone cheerful.

But in less than a moment, her eyes rolled!

She fell straight down.

Clearly, this flower was poisonous.

And the toxicity was not low.

Even a Three Yin One Realm cultivator was directly knocked out.

Brother Zhong's mouth twitched.

This fellow!

All day long, she bragged to him about how dangerous her past experiences were and how thrilling the life of a Loose Cultivator was.

Turns out, she was just a theoretical loudmouth.

A small red flower knocked her out!

Although he was quite speechless.

Brother Zhong still went forward immediately and fed her an antidote Medicinal Pill!

Over the years, he signed in once a day, and the items he received were varied.

Among them, naturally, there were also Spirit Pills that could cure all poisons.

System-produced, they must be high-quality!

As the Medicinal Pill entered her mouth, Fire Linger's condition began to improve at a visible speed.

Although still somewhat weak, she was at least out of danger.

“Brother Zhong, am I… am I going to die?”

Fire Linger only felt dizzy and weak all over, her delicate face filled with panic.

It was the first time she felt so close to death.

Brother Zhong ungraciously flicked her forehead.

“Don’t overthink it, you’re fine. Even if the King of Hell wants to take your life, he’ll have to ask if I agree!”

In the calm words, there was an unparalleled confidence and dominance.

It couldn't help but deeply shake Fire Linger's heart.

At this moment, she actually felt an unprecedented sense of security and warmth from Brother Zhong.

But what followed was shame!

She remembered when they first met, she constantly taught Brother Zhong Jianghu experience.

But now, she almost got herself killed by a small flower.

For a moment, her face flushed terribly, purely out of embarrassment.

Brother Zhong naturally saw her awkwardness.

What Fire Linger needed now was not comfort and care, but a little time and private space.

Thinking of this, he turned around and said, “Although the poison in your body has been resolved, you are still very weak.”

“Rest well!”

“I’ll go hunt some wild game!”

As his voice fell, he had already disappeared from his original spot.

It was not surprising that Brother Zhong left so quickly.

He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he wouldn't be able to help but laugh.

Making Fire Linger even more mortified.

Sniffing a flower, she almost sniffed herself out of existence.

Such a foolish yet innocent action somehow hit Brother Zhong's funny bone.

As Brother Zhong left, Fire Linger painfully covered her burning face.

So shameful!

So embarrassing!

Would her foolish behavior leave her with the image of a silly girl in Brother Zhong's mind?
