Chapter 41 part 1
The heavy bag full of fluorites fell on the ground . Chu Kong and I landed exactly like that . The injury on my back made me unable to stand or sit .
Chu Kong could only use one hand . If he held me, he couldn’t hold the fluorites . We pondered for a while and then decided to rest in this place for a day, then leave .
That night, Chu Kong scavenged some firewood and lit it . I endured the pain and bound his arm with three branches . Then, I undressed and lied on the ground so Chu Kong could clean the wound with water .
Using the princess’ and the general’s body in the previous lifetime felt like nothing . This lifetime, it was my own body . It made me a little embarrassed .
I clutched my chest, lied on my stomach, and muttered, “Just massage my back like an honest gentleman would . Don’t have any other thoughts . ”
Chu Kong humphed coldly . “Looking at your burned and bloody appearance, do you still think I’d have the appetite to eat you? Be less worried about things that don’t exist . ”
Although Chu Kong’s words were really cold, the hand cleaning my wound was so gentle, it would’ve been easy to mistake it for another person’s .
Even though he was really gentle, the pain of an open flesh wound being soaked in water wasn’t something I could conceal . I hissed . Chu Kong didn’t dare to put his hand back on my back . I tightly gritted my teeth and didn’t make a sound anymore . The wound would just get worse if it didn’t get cleaned . All we had to do now was fill the hole and go back to Heaven . Being weak here would just waste time .
The cleaning continued . This time Chu Kong also put herbs on my back . I didn’t make a sound . My forehead was full of sweat from enduring the pain . Suddenly, I felt Chu Kong touch my head . With a low, sensual voice he said, “I’m sorry…”
I didn’t know why he was apologizing . I answered groggily, “There are many reasons you should be apologizing to me for . Come, let me listen to some more . ”
I figured that even if Chu Kong didn’t beat me this time, he’d still make some witty remark . I didn’t think that after waiting for half a day, I’d only hear one honest sentence out of him . “I’m sorry . ”
I turned to look at him, a little surprised . “Chu Kong! You’re sick!”
He glanced at me once and then his gaze fell on my back again . I could feel his finger walking up my burned flesh . He said, “Although you always pretend to be a rough man without a care for appearance, a woman is still a woman . I let you suffer through this pain, so in the end, it’s my fault…”
I was foolishly stunned for a while . I found it hard to be moved by his mature appearance .
“It’s still you who is marrying something ugly . ”
I lied back and closed my eyes .
“Anyway, I’ll rely on you for here on out . ”
Besides, Chu Kong had protected me . His back at that time was enough to make me feel at ease . An immortal’s body is hardier than a human’s body . Although such a wound of the flesh couldn’t be completely healed, it would pass reluctantly .
Chu Kong and I hurried the next day to Hua Mountain . That was the location of the hole . After filling it, our seven lifetimes of fated love would finally be settled!
So close to our goal, my head was filled with wishful thoughts . After being burned by the flamed beast, I hurt my soul, so after going back to Heaven, I needed to spend Chu Kong’s money to nourish myself well .
Hua Mountain was the place where Chu Kong and I stayed when we were a tiger and a pig . Walking on this ground again was quite odd, but I was really happy . Chu Kong expression was really bad . I honestly could understand his gloominess . Nobody wanted to remember how they looked like as a pig . It was only when I saw the cave from the previous lifetime that I grew shocked . It turned out that Chu Kong’s expression was so serious because the evil energy leaking from there was already beyond our imagination . The evil energy was extremely concentrated in there . The vegetation next to it had already died .
We went into the cave . Our first step into the cave made an odd sound . I stiffened and looked down . I had stepped on a pile of broken bones .
Chu Kong’s expression turned more serious . “After that time, more people must’ve come to worship . No wonder the evil energy leaked so fast . ”
He turned and ordered, “Your soul has been damaged . You should not enter . Wait outside for me . ”
He grabbed the bag filled with fluorites and walked with several big strides into the cave . After every step he made, the sound of breaking bones would echo back to the entrance . I couldn’t help it and hugged my arm .
With such a thick and evil energy, there shouldn’t be a more powerful monster that could hurt people . There wasn’t much that I could help him with while he was filling the hole . So, I eased my heart and squatted down . At the same time, I began to purify the surrounding air .
I waited for a long time and still didn’t see Chu Kong come out . I peered into the cave, feeling a little uneasy . Eventually, I couldn’t hold it any longer and shouted, “Chu Kong, are you finished yet?”
The sound echoed back and forth in the cave, but no answer came from Chu Kong .
I waited for a little while and suddenly heard a muffled sound coming from inside the cave . My heart jumped . I knew that it wasn’t good . I turned on the balls of my feet to enter the cave . Suddenly, a golden light flashed in front of my eyes . A surge of cold breath blew in my direction . My whole body flew back and collided with a dead tree trunk . The impact opened the wound on my back again . The pain was unbearable . A cold wind wandered into my heart and I vomited blood .
“Oh, there’s still a little fairy out here,” a strange man’s voice said . He had a somewhat leisurely elegance and callous cruelty .
