Chen Ping panted for a while before finally catching his breath. Some strength returned to his limbs, and he waved a hand.
"Why thank me? If you hadn't helped today—fleeing, chasing after her, and standing in front to take those fiercest blows—Snow Empress, Scarlet King, and I wouldn't have been able to defeat her."
"Besides, ever since you helped me escape from those two Evil Soul Elders, we've been friends. Friends helping each other is only natural. Why thank me?"
Chen Ping looked at the soul ring emerging from Xiao Bai's body in the muddy pit, then at the wounds Lan Fuzi had suffered when Xiao Bai's Demon Shark Dark Silver Spear had pierced her. His heart tightened, and he hurriedly transferred some life force into Lan Fuzi as well, accelerating the healing of her wounds.
"Chen Ping."
Feeling Chen Ping's broad hand resting on her shoulder as he healed her, Lan Fuzi suddenly stepped half a pace forward and raised her head to look at him.
"What is it? Are you doubting whether my healing ability comes from the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline again?"
Chen Ping asked with an amused smile.
At his words, two rosy flushes rose on Lan Fuzi's cheeks. She hesitantly asked, "Human, are you like this with all your friends, or only with me?"
"Huh?"
Chen Ping was stunned by her question. Before he could respond, she rushed into his arms like a gust of wind.
Without giving him time to react, Lan Fuzi raised her head and kissed him, carrying a forcefulness that brooked no doubt.
"Mmph!"
Startled, Chen Ping instinctively tried to retreat, but Lan Fuzi's arms had already wrapped tightly around him, leaving him unable to move.
He tried to forcefully break free, but she was stronger than him to begin with.
