Quickly Transmigrate to Save the Child of Heaven

Chapter 268: Tian Long 8 Qiao Feng 2

When the majestic Qiao Feng returned, dusty and exhausted, carrying the cleaned pheasants and rabbits, he spotted Feng Xi carefully adding dry branches to the blazing fire. A flicker of surprise flashed in Feng Xi's lively eyes, and she hurried forward, wanting to help take the prey from Qiao Feng's hands. But Qiao Feng quickly waved her off, saying sternly and with concern, "Hurry and sit down. Your legs are still injured. Don't work yourself up." With that, he expertly picked up a thick branch and firmly placed the cleaned pheasant and rabbit on it. Then, he gently placed them over the blazing flames and began to roast them.

Time passed slowly, and before long, Qiao Feng pulled out a mysterious leaf juice from his bosom and carefully smeared it on the delicious wild game. Suddenly, the roasted rabbit and chicken seemed to be cast under a spell, and wisps of tempting aroma wafted freely through the air like spirits, causing Feng Xi to swallow unconsciously, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Finally, after meticulously roasting, the pheasant and rabbit became golden, crispy, and fragrant. Qiao Feng, with a sharp knife in hand, decisively cut off a large chicken drumstick and a tender rabbit leg. Carefully wrapped them in fresh leaves, he handed them to Feng Xi and said gently, "Miss Feng, please eat some quickly. The conditions in this wilderness are harsh, and these are all we can find."

Feng Xi's eyes sparkled with gratitude, her lips curled up slightly, revealing two shallow dimples. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Qiao!" Then, she took the leaf wrapping, which was filled with Qiao Feng's heartfelt gift, with both hands, eagerly peeled it open, and began to chew it with relish. She looked like a child who had just been given a piece of candy. In a short while, she had devoured a chicken drumstick, but when she saw the remaining rabbit leg among the leaves, she felt a sense of embarrassment. It was difficult to eat more, so she rewrapped it with an apologetic look on her face, secretly deciding to wait until tomorrow to warm it up and savor it slowly.

Qiao Feng asked with concern, "Why are you eating the real thing? Is it not to your liking?"

Feng Xi smiled and said, "No, I don't usually eat this much! It's delicious..."

When Qiao Feng heard Feng Xi say she'd never had a big appetite, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of her slender waist, and a strange glint flashed in his eyes, a light tinged with something intriguing. He couldn't help but think of the women in the martial arts world, all of whom were strong and heroic. But Feng Xi before him was like a delicate flower, her slender waist looking as if it could be snapped by the wind at any moment.

Thinking of this, Qiao Feng felt an inexplicable urge to protect her. He secretly decided to buy her some pastries when he passed through town, so she wouldn't look thin and hungry again. She looked like she'd be blown away by the wind. Just as he was about to say something else, a light drizzle suddenly began to fall. The rain then gradually intensified, drenching them both like drowned rats. Qiao Feng's heart tightened, and without thinking, he quickly picked up Feng Xi, mounted the horse beside him, and galloped away.

They traveled for who knows how long before finally coming upon a dilapidated temple. Qiao Feng carefully tied his horse to a pillar in front of the temple, then gently carried Feng Xi down. Feng Xi's clothes were already soaked through, clinging to her body. Her red bellyband was faintly visible, its vibrant color striking in the rain. Qiao Feng's cheeks flushed instantly, and he quickly turned away, not daring to look.

He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and said slowly: "Miss Feng, it's getting dark, and there's only this deserted temple nearby. I'll go find some hay and firewood to make a fire and dry your clothes, otherwise you'll catch a cold and get sick." After that, he turned and walked into the ruined temple and started to get busy.

As he searched for hay and firewood, Qiao Feng's heart sank for a long time. He didn't know exactly what his feelings for Feng Xi were, but he simply felt that this girl was special, and he couldn't help but want to care for her and protect her. As the fire gradually grew, its warm glow illuminated everything in the dilapidated temple, illuminating the confusion deep within Qiao Feng's heart.

Then Qiao Feng impatiently beckoned Feng Xi to sit by the fire. His movements were somewhat anxious, and his eyes revealed concern. Feng Xi blushed shyly at this, and slowly walked over to the fire and sat down.

Qiao Feng, without hesitation, stripped off his outer garment and positioned himself before the fire, forming a small barrier. His movements were skillful and natural, as if he were already accustomed to such actions. Then, he whispered softly, "Feng Xi, take off your underwear and warm it up. Don't let yourself get too cold." His tone was filled with care and concern.

Feng Xi looked out at the biting cold wind, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She looked up at Qiao Feng's resolute face, her eyes gleaming with gratitude. However, when she thought about the weather outside, she still spoke up and urged, "Brother Qiao, come in and get some warmth too! Don't freeze out there." There was a hint of heartache in her voice.

Qiao Feng shook his head and said with a smile, "I'm fine. You can roast it first and we'll talk about it after you're warm." His eyes revealed determination, as if he wanted to protect Feng Xi from the wind and rain.

Feng Xi smiled and said, "It's okay. My inner clothes have dried. I only have my coat left!" Qiao Feng hurried in and sat by the fire. He took off his coat and gave it to Feng Xi, saying, "Then you wear my clothes. It's cold at night!" Feng Xi pretended to look at the werewolf totem on his body and said, "Hey! Brother Qiao, aren't you from the Central Plains?"

Qiao Feng asked hurriedly, "Why do you say that, young lady?"

Feng Xi said, "The totem on Brother Qiao's chest is unique to the Liao nobles, so I asked this question."

Qiao Feng paused and asked, "How did you know that, young lady?"

Feng Xi: "My father was once a wealthy businessman, collecting many books about strange anecdotes from all over the world! I once saw an introduction to the totem of the Liao people in a travelogue!"

Qiao Feng was stunned after hearing this. Could it be that he wasn't his parents' biological son? He didn't doubt that Feng Xi's story was false. Did she have no idea who he was? He didn't have her intentions, so it seemed his origins were different. If he was truly a Khitan, then he couldn't be the next leader of the Beggars' Sect. His origins would be a ticking time bomb. He just didn't know if his master knew about his origins. So he decided to return home to find his parents and find out the truth.

At night, the wind was strong in the dilapidated temple. Feng Xi sneezed from the cold, and Qiao Feng thought about it and decided to hold her in his arms for the night. The next morning, Feng Xi was surprised to find herself waking up in Qiao Feng's arms. Qiao Feng said hurriedly, "Miss Feng, let's get married after I have clarified everything this time. After all, we had some physical contact last night!" His neck turned red as he said this!

Feng Xi smiled and put on her dress, saying, "Okay, then Brother Qiao is my husband now! You can't look at other women from now on!"

Qiao Feng immediately declared his stance, "I, Qiao Feng, swear that I will only be with Miss Feng Xi in my life. If I disobey, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!" Feng Xi smiled and said, "Let's go. Let's see if there's a town where we can buy food later!"

Qiao Feng said, "Okay!" Then he carried Feng Xi in his arms, mounted his horse, and headed for Shaolin. Within an hour, they arrived in town, found a restaurant, and had a meal. They also asked the owner to prepare some dry food. They hurried to Shaolin, and because they had traveled all night, they finally arrived at the Shaolin Mountains on the evening of the third day. The Qiao couple stayed at the foot of the mountain. Seeing Qiao Feng return with a girl, the two were surprised and asked, "Feng'er, why are you back?"

Qiao Feng said, "Dad and Mom, I plan to marry Miss Feng Xi, so I brought her back to show you!" After hearing this, Qiao's mother happily pulled Feng Xi into the house.
