522: Finally Escaping
Nicolas was powerful and incredibly fast. He managed to injure Tianhang, TianJiao, and Juntian. Feng Wu, because of Xiao Chun’s protection, only suffered minor injuries.
No one noticed Rui Baby had returned to Feng Wu’s hair and was now expelling words very quickly like he was chanting a mantra. Once he finished the last line, the group disappeared right in front of all the blood clan people. The little guy had activated a teleportation scroll prepared by Ming Xi and the others. Once activated, everyone that was marked for it instantly teleported to the designated position.
The scroll took a long time to activate, but they didn’t have time to get a better one so they made do with it.
It had taken Rui Baby some time to mark everyone in the group; then it took him another 15 minutes to recite the spell to activate the scroll. It only worked because he was so small and no one noticed him doing it. Who else could have used this time-consuming and tedious teleportation scroll which had no advantage other than long-distance group teleportation?
If someone was actually in a bind and tried to activate it, they would have been screwed.
Nicolas roared at their disappearance but it was no use. It didn’t matter how many people he sent to search for them; no one could find the group.
In the human camp, not far from the forest, a group of people were helping Ming Xi’s group into the house that used to house the forest patrol. Those injured would be treated and those not in need of medical attention were brought in and debriefed.
Everyone was in an uproar when the revelation about TianXing colluding with the Blood clan came out. It was too incredible that a dignified daughter of Feng house would become a spy.
She had a high background already; what else did she want?!
Rumors went around later that Yanran was her daughter and a product of the union between her and a blood prince. The school erupted with news of a human giving birth to a blood descendent!
On top of that, the child was from a noble family! It was a huge disgrace!
Even though, TianJiao had acted as a daughter of Feng house and killed TianXing, it couldn’t really erase the disgrace that fell on the family name. Rumors quickly spread amongst the major houses about how the daughters of Feng house were no longer marriageable.
Only those in high ranking positions knew about TianXing’s plan to have Yanran drink the entire Feng family bloodline; the rumors circulating in the general population were not as detailed.
Xi and many of those who genuinely cared about Feng Wu went to see her once they learned she was back. They left feeling relieved after seeing that she was OK.
Feng Wu went to find Ming Xi after resting for a day. She knew his hand was injured again, and this time it was worse than before. Because he came to save her, it would take several months to heal properly.
Her eyes were red as she hugged his injured hand.
Ming Xi patted her head and tried to reassure her. “Don’t cry. It’ll be fine. The injury is worse but it will heal in time.”
“I don’t cry. I never cry,” said a serious Feng Wu as she looked at him. Though her eyes were brimming with tears, they did not overflow and spill out. She looked like a little rabbit being bullied.
“Yes, you are right. I was wrong. Xiao Wu never cries.” Ming Xi continued to pat her head gently.
She snuggled into his arms and the two of them sat comfortably quiet together like that for a while.
“We will launch a final counterattack against the Blood clan in two days. When we do, we will trap all of them in Blood Moon forest and seal them away again. After the seal is closed, I will return to the Ancient Silver Moon kingdom and heal. My recovery time will be longer.
Take care of yourself while I’m not around. Don't go into dangerous places. And if someone bullies you, don’t just take it. I will protect you. No matter the person's identity, I will protect you.”
“Stay in touch like before.” Feng Wu said.
Feng Wu had heard her father talking about it before, so she wasn’t surprised. She was just sad and reluctant she wouldn’t see Ming Xi for a while.
“Yes, the same as before. We can even talk everyday if you want.” He placed a soft kiss on her head.
It was like a breeze flowing through her that made her tingle all over.
Ming Xi backed away but was surprised to find Feng Wu had already moved her mouth up to find his.
Feng Wu had never kissed anyone before; she had only ever seen others do it. Someone told her it was a common thing for lovers to do. Though she didn’t understand why you had to eat each other’s mouths to be lovers, since she and Ming Xi were lovers now, she and Ming Xi should definitely eat each other’s mouths. Oh no, Jier said it wasn’t called eating – it was called kissing.
Ming Xi held her tighter, and with a smile in his eyes, he moved his lips away from her.
“Hey, now, this is not kissing.”
“How then?” Did she need to bite more? Feng Wu looked stupidly at Ming Xi.
“Follow my lead,” Ming Xi whispered, then proceeded to take the lead. His was a gentle kiss, like caring for something precious.
A numbness spread from Feng Wu’s mouth, through her body and straight into her heart.
The two of them hugged and kissed for ten minutes. It took a while for Ming Xi to let Feng Wu go.
“You can’t let others do this kind of thing to you in the future; do you understand?” Ming Xi was worried about someone taking advantage of his naïve girlfriend.
“Jier told me only people who want to kiss should kiss. We are lovers, so I will only let Ming Xi kiss me.” Feng Wu looked at Ming Xi and enunciated each word seriously.
“OK, and I will only kiss Xiao Wu. I will never kiss another woman again.” Ming Xi also made a promise.
Couples getting along with each other always feel that time passes too quickly.
Of course two days passed quickly for Feng Wu and Ming Xi. The vice principal led a successful counterattack and the enchantment was restored after the blood clan was sealed away.
The catastrophe was successfully averted.
