The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 244: Thoughts

The nights in the Taiping Mountain Range were pitch dark, with an occasional cold breeze sweeping through the forest, causing the firewood in the campfire to crackle from time to time.

In Capital City, winter nights were exceptionally cold—especially in the mountains. Even a campfire was hardly effective for warmth. Fortunately, our comrade Ye Chenfeng had Soul Force to protect him, making the cold negligible to him.

It seemed that the members of the Soldier King Group weren’t planning to sleep tonight; they started chatting with one another, but the topic they were most interested in was still Ye Chenfeng.

"Ye Chenfeng, where did you learn all these skills? If you have such strength, why do you pretend to be foolish in Capital City? Do you enjoy being mocked by others?" a member of the Soldier King Group asked.

Ye Chenfeng propped himself up with his hands, facing the starless night sky, and casually said, "I don’t know how to answer that question! But soon enough, I’ll definitely rise in Capital City. When that happens, I think the expressions on the faces of those from the great families will be quite rich, won’t they?"

"Yeah! Ye Chenfeng, with your current strength, it wouldn’t be difficult for you to rise to prominence in Capital City, or even the entire Huaxia Country. It’s just a matter of time."

"I’m also looking forward to the day you rise in Capital City. If I weren’t a member of the Soldier King Group, I would definitely choose to follow you. Seeing those old foxes from the great families drop their glasses in shock would be quite a satisfying sight!"

"Ye Chenfeng, keep climbing! I believe that with your strength, you might even reach the peak of the whole world someday! If that day really comes, you would be bringing honor to our Huaxia Country."

...

Just thinking about the day when Ye Chenfeng would truly rise in Capital City sent a thrill through the hearts of the Soldier King Group members. Who in Capital City would dare belittle Ye Chenfeng then or recklessly call him ’Ye Idiot’?

Wang Li added a log to the fire and said with a wry smile, "Ye Chenfeng, honestly, you’re a person who’s hard to see through. I remember when our Strong Soldier Training Camp first crossed paths, I was still able to hold my own against you. But now, I’m afraid I’d just be quickly eliminated by you."

"Wang Li, let’s not compare ourselves with this freak, or our fragile self-esteem will definitely be crushed," Zhao Fei joked. When Ye Chenfeng had kicked him flying before, it had left quite a psychological shadow on him!

...

The entire night passed almost entirely in conversation. When dawn began to break, a cry of pain came from Bai Xueling’s resting cave.

The Soldier King Group members looked at one another, none willing to enter the cave. Zhao Fei pursed his lips and said, "Ye Chenfeng, you should go in and check! Men and women should not interact too casually, and we are not very suitable. Besides, you’re wearing a mask, and Bai Xueling won’t recognize you anyway."

To be honest, Ye Chenfeng really didn’t want to have anything more to do with Bai Xueling. But since the members of the Soldier King Group were unwilling to enter the cave, he had no choice but to put on his mask and go in.

The light inside the cave was dim. In one corner, Bai Xueling was squatting on the ground, ceaselessly rubbing her right ankle, apparently having twisted it by accident while walking.

"Are you alright?" Ye Chenfeng asked.

When Bai Xueling looked up and saw Ye Chenfeng, she managed a weak smile, then, supporting herself against the cave’s stone wall, she slowly stood up. "I’m fine, just took a little fall."

With that, Bai Xueling began to take a step forward, but as she put weight on her sprained right ankle, it hurt, and her body lurched forward, about to fall face first onto the cave’s floor. Such a hard fall would certainly leave her disfigured. She involuntarily shut her eyes tight in anticipation of the impact.

Although Ye Chenfeng wasn’t particularly fond of Bai Xueling, he couldn’t just stand by and watch her fall, could he? With a flash, he rushed to Bai Xueling’s side, stretched out his right arm, caught her willowy waist, and with a forceful pull, he steadied her body.

Feeling herself rescued from a fall and steadied by Shen Feng instead, Bai Xueling instantly felt an indescribable sense of security in her heart.

Bai Xueling felt Ye Chenfeng let go of her, and only then did she slowly open her eyes. Her limpid eyes held an indefinable emotion as she shyly whispered, "Thank you."

Seeing Bai Xueling’s limping gait, Ye Chenfeng let out a helpless sigh, crouched down, and took off the shoe and sock from her right foot.

Ye Chenfeng’s sudden action made Bai Xueling’s cheeks flush even redder, and her heart raced uncontrollably.

"I’ll massage it for you, you should be able to walk on your own after that." If Ye Chenfeng didn’t treat Bai Xueling’s sprained ankle, he would probably end up carrying her, and the Soldier King Group would definitely push that responsibility onto him.

Ye Chenfeng’s right palm covered the somewhat swollen right ankle of Bai Xueling, emanating Soul Force through his palm, gently kneading her injured ankle.

Bai Xueling merely felt a tingling sensation on her ankle, and as Ye Chenfeng’s palm covered it, the pain in her ankle also vanished without a trace. Lowering her head, she looked at Ye Chenfeng crouched on the ground, thinking to herself, "What kind of person is he really? What kind of face lies behind that black mask?" freēwēbnovel.com

At this moment, Bai Xueling, known as the most beautiful woman in the Capital City, experienced her first infatuation. If she knew that the man of her fascination was no other than Ye Chenfeng, to whom she had once been betrothed, who knew what her emotions would be?

Under the treatment of Ye Chenfeng’s Soul Force, the swelling in Bai Xueling’s right ankle totally subsided, and walking was no longer a problem for her. Her beautiful eyes shone brightly as she stared at Ye Chenfeng, finding herself increasingly curious about the man behind the mask.

Isn’t there a saying? Often, falling in love with someone starts with curiosity, so the seed of love in Bai Xueling’s heart had already begun to sprout slowly.

After Ye Chenfeng and Bai Xueling left the cave, under the command of Zhao Fei, the members of the Soldier King Group prepared to leave the Taiping Mountain Range. He left five members of the Soldier King Group to watch over the members of the Bloodkill Mercenary Group in the other cave.

Once Zhao Fei and the others left the Taiping Mountain Range, they would immediately send for reinforcement to transfer the Bloodkill members, whose hands and feet had been severed, out of the Taiping Mountain Range.

After several hours, Ye Chenfeng, Bai Xueling, and the members of the Soldier King Group finally exited the Taiping Mountain Range.

As soon as they exited the Taiping Mountain Range, there were military personnel guarding the entrance. Zhao Fei immediately arranged for Bai Xueling to be returned to the Capital City first.

Before Bai Xueling boarded the military jeep to leave, her eyes lingered on Ye Chenfeng, and after saying one more "Thank you," she departed.

"Ye Chenfeng, it seems like Bai Xueling has taken a liking to you! I really don’t know what the Bais are thinking—how could they have ended the engagement between you and Bai Xueling? I think one day they will regret it," Zhao Fei said as he watched the military jeep drive away.

"By the way, Chenfeng, I’ve just spoken with the commander on the phone, and he said he wants to treat you to a good meal. He’s already on his way here," Zhao Fei reported briefly on the situation as soon as he stepped out of the Taiping Mountain Range using the communication device on one of the soldiers stationed at the entrance.

Since Wu Guotian was on his way to the Taiping Mountain Range, Ye Chenfeng couldn’t really refuse, so he agreed to it. Besides, his stomach was rumbling with hunger. (To be continued.
