In the original story, when Zhu Zhuqing came looking for Dai Mubai, all anyone knew was that she had been pursued by assassins.
But it was unclear where exactly they had chased her to or what had happened in detail.
Feng Hao had not expected to discover Zhu Zhuqing being hunted not far from here.
Now that she had arrived here, it seemed she had spent some time treating her injuries.
Seeing the several assassins chasing after her, Feng Hao immediately stood up.
A black light appeared above him. As it shone down, he vanished directly from the room.
In a forest outside Suotuo City.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at the people pursuing her from behind, tears glimmering in her resolute eyes.
More than anything, she wished someone could come and help her.
Especially that person. How wonderful it would be if he could come and help her.
She often wondered why he had not taken her with him when he left.
Did he really look down on her that much?
The people pursuing her were not especially strong. Otherwise, she would already be dead.
They had failed to kill her, but they had left her with many minor injuries.
She did not understand why they had sent people like this to hunt her down.
But she knew that if she tried a little harder and escaped to Suotuo City, she should be safe.
She ran desperately all the way. Whenever she fell, she immediately got back up. She had no mind to check her injuries and could only grit her teeth and keep running.
She did not know that the person she had come to find was currently enjoying the warmth of another woman.
"Kill her quickly! If she escapes to Suotuo City, we won't get another chance!" one of the assassins shouted as they rapidly loosed arrows.
The arrows cut through the woods and shot toward Zhu Zhuqing.
Just then, a streak of white light descended from the sky.
As the light fell, Feng Hao appeared atop a slab of bluish stone.
His white robes fluttered in the night wind.
Under the moonlight, he looked like a god descending to earth.
Zhu Zhuqing stared in a daze for a moment, even forgetting that she was still being pursued.
She murmured, "Is he an immortal?"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The arrows flew toward them. Feng Hao waved his hand, and a burst of Sun True Fire erupted.
The flames instantly reduced the incoming arrows to ashes.
With a mere thought from Feng Hao, a huge eye gleaming with white light appeared above the forest.
Bolts of lightning descended from its pupil, blasting the assassins.
All of the assassins died beneath the lightning.
Only after dealing with the assassins did Feng Hao turn to Zhu Zhuqing.
"Are... are you an immortal?" Zhu Zhuqing looked at him and murmured.
A man who had descended from the heavens, with such miraculous methods.
He was just like the immortals people imagined when they were children.
And the great hero every girl dreamed of.
"I'm not an immortal. I'm just a teacher at an academy. I saw someone bullying a weak little girl here, so I came to help. My name is Feng Hao. What's yours?" Feng Hao asked.
Though being called an immortal sounded mysterious and impressive, how could an immortal date a mortal?
If someone was saved by an immortal,
they might respect that immortal for the rest of their lives, but they would most likely never fall in love with them.
But if they were saved by an ordinary person, the chances of falling in love would be much greater.
Of course, the most important thing was still having extraordinary looks.
When a handsome man saved a beautiful woman, she had no way to repay him and could only offer herself in marriage.
When an ugly man saved a beautiful woman, she had no way to repay him and could only repay his kindness by becoming an ox or horse in her next life.
The world was just that cruel.
Hearing that he was a teacher, Zhu Zhuqing could not help studying Feng Hao closely.
He looked so young. Could someone this young really be a teacher?
"My name is Zhu Zhuqing. Thank you for saving me, Teacher Feng." Zhu Zhuqing bowed slightly.
"I'm not much older than you. Just call me Brother Feng. You're not from our academy either, so there's no need to call me teacher," Feng Hao said.
"Brother Feng!" Zhu Zhuqing did not think much of it and immediately changed how she addressed him.
"Let's leave this place first," Feng Hao said.
"Mm!" Zhu Zhuqing nodded, but after taking just two steps, she suddenly staggered sideways and fell.
Feng Hao reacted quickly and hurried forward to catch her.
Feng Hao took a look and found that she had probably injured her foot while fleeing earlier.
She had been fighting for her life then, so she had not been able to spare attention for it.
But now that the enemies had been dealt with and she noticed the wound, the pain came flooding in.
Feng Hao picked her up. Feeling Zhu Zhuqing's soft, supple, elastic rear, it truly was easy for one's thoughts to wander.
But Feng Hao also knew that stopping her injury from worsening came first.
The Divine Farmer's Materia Medica he had obtained earlier contained methods for treating injuries. Zhu Zhuqing's wound was not serious, so even without medicine, it would be fine.
Held like this, a blush rose across Zhu Zhuqing's face. It was the first time she had ever been carried by a man.
And he was a man she had only just met. Sensing the mature masculine aura about Feng Hao, she could not bear to push him away.
She always felt that the man before her was far more dependable than the one who had abandoned her and fled alone.
Seeing her flushed face, Feng Hao explained very seriously, "We martial artists need not fuss over such things. I'll carry you over there and treat the injury on your leg."
"Mm!" Zhu Zhuqing answered softly.
Feng Hao carried her to a white stone slab. After letting her sit down, he removed her shoes.
Looking at her torn stockings, Feng Hao said, "Zhuqing, forgive me."
With that, he gently peeled down her stockings.
Once the stockings came off, her fair, tender skin was fully revealed before Feng Hao.
Though the wound and bloodstains marred those perfect jade-like legs,
they were still impossible not to admire.
Feng Hao first used the techniques from the Divine Farmer's Materia Medica to quickly stop her bleeding.
Then, following its method for circulating Soul Power, he relieved Zhu Zhuqing's pain.
Afterward, Feng Hao picked her up and said, "I'll take you to the stream to clean off the blood. We don't want it affecting the wound."
Feng Hao carried her, while she held her shoes and stockings herself.
Using Two Forms Vision earlier, Feng Hao had already learned the layout of the area.
He quickly found the stream. At its bank, he set Zhu Zhuqing down and gently cleaned away the bloodstains.
After finishing, Feng Hao washed her torn stockings clean as well.
Then he took out some medicine from his Summoning Ring, applied it to her wound, and used the stockings as a bandage.
"This medicine will heal your injury without leaving a scar, so don't worry," Feng Hao said gently after bandaging her.
"Thank you, Brother Feng," Zhu Zhuqing said sincerely.
"You're welcome. Helping others has always been my hobby. I'll take you into the city to settle down first. You need a few days of rest," Feng Hao said.
"Mm!" Zhu Zhuqing nodded.
"I'll put your shoes on for you." Feng Hao crouched down and helped her put on her shoes, then picked her up again.
"Brother Feng, my leg doesn't hurt anymore. Let me walk by myself," Zhu Zhuqing said quietly.
"Even if it no longer hurts, walking now could easily leave lasting damage." With that, Feng Hao continued carrying her and refused to put her down.
Zhu Zhuqing gradually reached out and wrapped her arms around Feng Hao's shoulders. It made her feel safer.
