Chen Ping panted for quite a while before finally catching his breath. Some strength returned to his limbs and body, and he waved a hand.
"Why thank me? If you hadn't helped today, fleeing for our lives, giving chase, and standing in front to take the fiercest spear strikes, the Snow Empress, the Scarlet King, and I couldn't have subdued her."
"Besides, we became friends back when you helped me escape those two evil soul Elders. Friends helping each other is only natural. What's there to thank me for?"
Chen Ping looked at the Soul Ring emerging from Xiao Bai's body in the muddy pit, then at the wounds her Demon Shark Sunken Silver Spear had left on Lan Fozi when she let her guard slip. His heart tightened, and he hurriedly channeled some life force into Lan Fozi as well, speeding up the healing of her wounds.
"Chen Ping."
Feeling Chen Ping's broad hand resting on her shoulder as he healed her, Lan Fozi suddenly took half a step forward and raised her head to look at him.
"What is it? Suspecting my healing ability comes from the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline again?"
Chen Ping spoke with some amusement.
At his words, two rosy clouds flew onto Lan Fozi's cheeks. She asked haltingly, "You human... are you like this with all your friends, or only with me?"
"Huh?"
Her question stunned Chen Ping. Before he could respond, she had already swept into his arms like a gust of wind.
Without giving him time to react, Lan Fozi tilted her head up and pecked his lips with an assertiveness that brooked no argument.
"Mmph!"
Startled, Chen Ping instinctively tried to retreat, but the arms Lan Fozi had already wrapped around him held him so tightly that he could not move.
