Chapter 407: Chapter 407: Situation Looks Bad
Actually, if Miao Yuting werenāt the granddaughter of the Gu King, Ling Feng wouldnāt have bothered about her welfare at all! But since the Gu King had once saved his life three years ago, Ling Feng had instinctively sheltered Miao Yuting in his arms the moment he sensed danger.
A minute later, the incomplete building turned into a pile of ruins, and both Ling Feng and Miao Yuting were trapped beneath it!
Under Ling Fengās protection, Miao Yuting hadnāt suffered much injury, as her whole body was held tightly by him.
"Ling Feng, how are you feeling now?" In the darkness, Miao Yutingās voice trembled.
The small and dark space filled Miao Yutingās heart with fear!
"Do you think weāll die here?" Miao Yutingās voice carried a sob.
Ling Feng coughed a few times, "Donāt worry, I have a large life, even King Yan dares not claim it. Weāll definitely get out of here!"
Although Miao Yuting couldnāt see Ling Fengās face in the darkness, his words gradually calmed her down.
"Yes, as soon as Chu Yang notices what happened here, he will surely come to save us!" Miao Yuting said.
Ling Feng couldnāt help but give a bitter smile. Chu Yang coming to save us? That was the funniest joke Ling Feng had heard! In fact, Ling Feng suspected that this bizarre explosion might have been orchestrated by Chu Yang himself!
But right now, Miao Yuting was obviously panicking, so Ling Feng had no intention of revealing his suspicions, especially without any evidence, and it could cause Miao Yuting to panic even more.
Ling Feng shifted his body and found he couldnāt move. A huge slab was pressing on his left leg, and a solid metal bar had pierced his thigh; every movement caused excruciating pain!
"Itās really like a dragon in shallow waters who is played by shrimps, a tiger in a flat yang being bullied by dogs," Ling Feng helplessly shook his head.
"Ling Feng, are you hurt?" Miao Yuting then asked, "I smell blood."
As Miao Yuting moved her body slightly, her calf touched the metal bar, causing Ling Feng to break out in a cold sweat, "My dear lady, please donāt move. Do you want to torture me to death?"
Miao Yuting took out her mobile phone from her arms, and using the flashlight, she saw Ling Fengās current condition and couldnāt help but her eyes reddened.
A heavy slab was pressing on Ling Fengās back, and a metal bar was embedded at the root of his left thigh, with blood continuously flowing down the bar. To protect Miao Yuting from harm, Ling Feng had propped up a small space with his left arm, but due to the wall falling, his left arm was twisted and clearly already broken in several places!
"You..." Seeing Ling Feng in this state, Miao Yuting didnāt know what to say, feeling both moved and guilty!
If it wasnāt for her recklessness, how could they possibly end up like this!
"Girl, donāt cry!" Seeing Miao Yutingās reddened eyes, Ling Feng gave a faint smile, "These injuries are nothing to me! Can your phone make calls?"
Miao Yuting checked her phone and shook her head, "No signal!"
"Thatās bad!" Ling Feng said with a bitter smile, "I just tried a bit earlier, and my body is too weak now; I really canāt break through this place."
"Itās all my fault!" Miao Yuting lowered her head, tears dripping down, "Ling Feng, Iām sorry, I... Iām sorry!"
Ling Feng sighed in his heart. Although it seemed that Miao Yuting had triggered this incident, it involved Chu Yang, and Ling Feng was ninety percent sure it was Chu Yangās conspiracy. If Miao Yuting died here, would the Gu King simply let it go?
So, in fact, Miao Yuting was involved because of him, which led to this situation.
"Turn off your cell phone, save some battery!" Ling Feng whispered, "Give me an hour to recover a bit, and then we can escape from here!"
"Okay!" Miao Yuting obediently turned off her phone. Although it was pitch dark, leaning against Ling Feng, Miao Yuting actually felt a sense of security.
"Brother Feng, how did you meet my grandfather?" Miao Yuting asked.
Ling Feng said, "That was three years ago. I was in the jungle when an old injury recurred, but I had forgotten to bring my emergency medicine. During that crisis, I met Elder Miao, and he used his miraculous medical skills to bring me back from the dead!"
"Really? Iāve never heard my grandfather mention this!"
"Elder Miao is modest and helps others without asking for anything in return," Ling Feng said. "So rest assured, I will definitely keep you safe!"
"Mm!" Miao Yuting responded softly, then whispered, "Brother Feng, do you really dislike me right now?"
Ling Feng was stunned, "What do you mean by that?"
"If I hadnāt been so willful, this wouldnāt have happened," Miao Yuting said with guilt. "In your heart, I must be a willful and troublesome girl, right?"
"Now that you mention it, there is a bit of that!" Ling Feng said, hearing Miao Yutingās suddenly heavy breathing. He chuckled and added, "But since it happened, it means we were destined to face this ordeal! Besides, I believe experiencing life and death together is something many people will never encounter in their lifetime. For us, itās also a rare experience, isnāt it?"
Miao Yutingās eyes brightened, and she silently breathed a sigh of relief.
After talking for a bit, Miao Yuting felt very tired: "Brother Feng, Iām really sleepy, Iām going to sleep for a little while..."
"Oh no!" Panic surged in Ling Fengās heart; he had forgotten that the air here was extremely thin. Although he could last a few hours with his capabilities, Miao Yuting couldnāt endure that long!
Ling Feng patted Miao Yutingās shoulder and said, "Girl, donāt sleep, you must hold on!"
"Iām really sleepy!" Miao Yuting snuggled closer into Ling Fengās embrace, murmuring, "Brother Feng, your embrace really feels so safe!"
Ling Feng was somewhat exasperated but amused. If they still couldnāt get out, and if too much time passed, Miao Yuting would definitely suffer from oxygen deprivation and possibly faint, which could severely impact her brain!
"Girl, look at me!" Ling Feng whispered into Miao Yutingās ear at that moment.
Miao Yuting turned towards Ling Feng, but then, Ling Feng pressed a deep kiss onto Miao Yutingās red lips!
Whoom! Miao Yuting instantly woke up, and as a girl from Miao Territory, this was her first kiss!
"Whatās going on? Why did Brother Feng kiss me? What should I do? Should I push him away? But would pushing him away be awkward? But if I donāt push him away, wouldnāt that seem too frivolous..."
While Miao Yutingās mind was in total chaos, a breath of air flowed from Ling Fengās mouth to hers, revitalizing her spirit: "Girl, hold on, donāt fall asleep, weāre about to get out of here!"
