Chapter 757 - 730: Entering the Wasteland for the First Time

Leng Yuening’s beautiful eyes trembled, looking at Sun Zhe in disbelief.

At that moment, she suddenly felt that the man in front of her was a stranger.

"How come... you have wings?"

Sun Zhe stood in front of her, teasing with a smile, "I think it’s pretty cool too."

"Who said it was cool?" Leng Yuening snorted softly, her cheeks blushing. She turned her face away, thinking that men just like to show off in front of women every day.

But quite frankly, those wings are really cool.

Sun Zhe asked, "Do you mind if I hold you?"

"Um... you can hold me."

Sun Zhe bent down, hooking her soft silk-clad legs with one big hand. As her knees bent, the subtle silk wrinkles beside her legs transmitted through his palm, causing his Yang Qi to suddenly stir uncontrollably.

But at this moment, Sun Zhe didn’t think too much, using his other hand to embrace her slender waist, effortlessly lifting her horizontally.

Leng Yuening’s cheeks flushed, her delicate hands unsure of where to rest, so she crossed them over her collar to prevent any exposure.

Yet somehow, being held in Sun Zhe’s arms, she felt a great sense of security, allowing her whole body and mind to relax.

"I initially thought you were going to take me to your hometown to treat me."

Sun Zhe chuckled, changing the subject, "By the way, does your sister know you’re going out for so long?"

"I told her I was on a business trip for three months, but she’s been busy with the affairs of Qingcheng Palace and hasn’t had time to care for me."

Sun Zhe nodded.

Leng Yuening asked, "Did you tell her?"

Sun Zhe said, "I messaged her that I’m going into seclusion."

"I see. Did you tell your little aunt?"

"Told her too."

"Where exactly are you taking me?"

Sun Zhe kicked off with his legs while his wings flapped vigorously, launching him into the sky like a bullet.

"You’ll know in a while."

Leng Yuening, frightened, quickly reached out to wrap her arms around his neck, burying her face in his chest.

As they continued to soar high, Sun Zhe felt the trembling fragrant and soft body in his arms, so he slowed down and asked, "Is it very cold?"

"Uh, it’s okay."

Sun Zhe silently released spiritual power to form a protective layer enclosing both of them, asking, "Is it still cold?"

"Not cold."

Sun Zhe looked down at the stunning face in his arms, "But you’re very cold."

"No, I’m not..."

Sun Zhe laughed heartily, then suddenly asked, "Have you heard of the Outer Wilderness?"

Upon hearing this, Leng Yuening’s beautiful eyes trembled slightly, "Of course, I’ve heard of it. Are you taking me there?"

Sun Zhe nodded, "Only there is there a chance to heal you."

Leng Yuening said, "As far as I know, the Outer Wilderness opens only once every ten years, and the opening time is more than a month away, and you can only stay inside for two months after it opens."

Sun Zhe smiled, "I have a way to open the space rift early, so if we enter now, we can stay an extra month. With a total of three months, I can definitely heal you."

"Hmm... Thank you."

"No need to thank me, I’m going to charge anyway."

"Aren’t you the Martial Hero of the Fourth District? Do you still need money?"

"Who wouldn’t want more money?"

"Then once you heal me, I’ll give you as much as you want." Leng Yuening smiled, looking up at Sun Zhe’s handsome profile, feeling warmth in her heart.

"How about I don’t charge you, and instead, you promise yourself to me?"

"Aren’t you afraid my sister will find out?"

Sun Zhe retorted, "Are you afraid?"

Leng Yuening replied without hesitation, "Afraid."

Sun Zhe: "Then how dare you seduce me in the cinema?"

"I, that was..."

During their conversation, Sun Zhe had already flown to ten thousand meters high.

A voice from Little Dragon Girl rang in his mind, "Xiao Zhezi, go up a little more, there is a place in that thundercloud with unusual spiritual power fluctuations, from where you should be able to tear open the rift."

Hearing this, Sun Zhe didn’t say a word, immediately flying towards the cloud designated by Little Dragon Girl.

Soon after.

Sun Zhe flew into the cloud, watching the terrifying scene of thunder and lightning swirling winds with a sense of insignificance arising spontaneously in his heart.

And Leng Yuening, amidst this shocking and magnificent terrifying environment, was even more scared, her pretty face pale and her delicate body trembling, no longer maintaining her usual cool and aloof demeanor.

"Brother-in-law, is this place dangerous?"

Sun Zhe held her tight, gently saying, "Don’t be afraid, I’m here."

"Mm..."

Then Sun Zhe asked in his heart, "Sister Long, is this place okay?"

"Xiao Zhezi, I will borrow your body to release Dragon Qi. After that, your spiritual power might also be drained by me; you need to endure it a bit. As soon as the rift opens, you must fly in immediately, because I can’t hold on for long."

"If you’re slow, at a minimum, you won’t get in; at worst, the closing rift will cut off your body."

"That scary? Got it, you go ahead!"

A surge of Dragon Qi suddenly emanated from Sun Zhe, instantly condensing into a silver-white dragon claw.

Sun Zhe immediately felt chest tightness, shortness of breath, his whole body weak and exhausted, his face turning pale as snow.

"Sister Long...you’re really not holding back, draining me just like that."

"Otherwise, how to open the rift? You thought it was easy?"

The dragon claw roared away, tearing a rift open in the void with one claw.

"Now, hurry!"

Sun Zhe gritted his teeth, shooting into the rift like an arrow, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

The next moment, Sun Zhe suddenly felt the brightness before him, realizing he was floating above a vast forest.

"Phew—!"

He took a long breath, having no time to observe the surroundings, and descended with Leng Yuening towards a nearby mountain peak.

The summit was flat, lush with fragrant grass, and scattered with falling blossoms.

Sun Zhe set down Leng Yuening, squatting exhausted on the ground to catch his breath.

"Brother-in-law, what’s wrong with you?"

Sun Zhe waved his hand, "It’s nothing, just exhausted from forcibly opening the rift."

As he spoke, he adjusted his posture to sit cross-legged, beginning to absorb the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

As the spiritual qi entered his body, he was astonished to find it more abundant and pure than he imagined, far surpassing any underground martial arts arena, even more so than the Spirit Realm.

Leng Yuening saw Sun Zhe regulating his breath and sensibly did not disturb him, quietly walking to the side to wait.

After a long time.

Sun Zhe slowly opened his eyes, expelling a mouthful of turbid air, then turned his head towards the graceful figure walking amidst the flowers, his mind suddenly wandering uncontrollably.

The high-waisted pleated short skirt outlined her waist and hip lines vividly, lightly swaying as she moved. Her fragrant long hair fluttered with the wind, beautiful like a fairy butterfly among the bushes.

When she crouched down to gently smell the flowers, raising her hand to tuck a lock of hair behind her ear, she seemed even more ethereal, like a peerless flower fairy.

Sun Zhe admired for a moment before getting up to walk over, seeing her still holding her phone taking pictures, he teased with a smile, "What, already starting to take photos and check in?"

Leng Yuening put down her phone, asking, "Are you alright?"

"Yeah, I’m fine."

Leng Yuening saw his face still somewhat pale and said, "It seems like it’s getting dark, maybe rest for a while?"

"Alright. Let’s set off after some sleep. But since the environment here is unfamiliar, to be safe, shall we set up a tent on this mountaintop?"

"Hmm, listening to you."

"..."
