Ji Lanjun hesitated before saying, "I... I just saw him."
Xi Youmeng froze. She immediately realized that the "him" Ji Lanjun meant was Lu Feng, but as though afraid her hopes would come to nothing, she could not help asking, "Which him?"
Her voice was somewhat low, yet the anticipation lodged in her throat could still be clearly heard.
Ji Lanjun said, somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, "Who else could it be? Of course, the Benevolent Heart Asura Liu Chenzhou mentioned—the brat whose butt you spanked."
At the mention of spanking butts, the embarrassment and annoyance on Ji Lanjun's face deepened visibly as she recalled everything that had happened in Mist Valley...
Youmeng spanked Lu Feng's..., and Lu Feng spanked mine...
For a moment, Ji Lanjun only felt that she had suffered an even greater loss.
Xi Youmeng's attention, however, was wholly fixed on the news that Lu Feng had appeared here. She asked in delighted surprise, "Where did you see him? What is he doing here? Did he awaken the might of this ruined formation and summon these golden Buddhas filling the sky?"
After the battle at Spirit Flame Lake, though Xi Youmeng had guessed that Lu Feng had feigned his death to escape, she had thought that their commission was over and that he had no reason to remain. An inexplicable emptiness had filled her heart, and she had once believed they might never meet again.
Yet she had not expected to see him again so soon. Xi Youmeng felt that her emotions at this moment were stranger and more wondrous than ever before.
"He... saved me!" Ji Lanjun hesitated, but still recounted what had just happened.
When she finished, she said resentfully, "Youmeng, do you think he has some ulterior motive? Why would he save me?"
