Fishing the Myriad Heavens

Chapter 244: Being Fed A Bag Of Dog Feed

Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

Bei Feng continued to walk at a leisurely pace, no longer bothering about the group of people behind him. Of course, he was not the type of person to fold his hands and watch while someone was dying. Otherwise, with his usual speed, how would these people be able to keep up with him?

His only issue was that he did not feel like engaging in conversation with those people. His character had always been rather quiet, and now that he had experienced more things, he had instead become even more cold. He didn't open his mouth often, and gave others an image of being cool and aloof.

The trek carried on at a constant pace until two in the afternoon. Bei Feng turned around and looked at the state of the group behind him speechlessly. Pursing his lips lightly, he proceeded to sit down beneath the shade of a large tree.

"Huu, hu!"

The group had finally caught up, and seeing that Bei Feng was sitting down, everyone immediately crumpled onto their as*es as they sat down, heaving and panting heavily.

Everyone was afraid of losing sight of Bei Feng, so they did not dare to stop. Even the girl who was crying the night before and refusing to move was looking at Bei Feng with a face full of resolution. At this time, Li Mei looked over at Bei Feng who was sitting leisurely under the tree and instantly felt a wave of anger surge through her chest.

She stomped over to Bei Feng and pointed at him. "Are you really a man? Where's the basic chivalry a man should have? Not even knowing how to help the girls with their bags!"

Bei Feng raised his head and looked at the girl. She was not very beautiful, and had some freckles on her face. Still, youth was an asset by itself.

But in the end, that was all there was to it. Bei Feng rolled his eyes and turned his face away, not bothering to bicker with her.

"Xiao Mei, come back here! What kind of words are those?"

Jiang Ranran ran over, grabbed Li Mei's hand and stared at her sternly, warning her to shut her mouth.

Li Mei was fuming internally as she looked at the callous man sitting under the tree. How could there be such an annoying man in the world!

She had never seen a person like him before. Although she didn't look very outstanding, the boys at school would never refuse to lend a hand whenever she asked for it.

"I'm sorry, my friend has a brash character and has offended you; I'll apologize on her behalf!"

Jiang Ranran bowed rapidly. This weirdo was their only hope to get out if this place! In addition, he had not tried to shake them off, and even stopped a few times to wait for them. These small signs of grace had not escaped her eyes.

Jiang Ranran had matured greatly within this short seven, eight days in the wild. The once frail girl seemed to have transformed into another person.

The old her would definitely not have noticed all these things. The way she saw it, this weirdo probably held no ill intentions towards them.

Thus, she did not wish to offend the weirdo because of the rashness of Li Mei. If the weirdo really decided to forsake them, they would all be dead for sure.

"No worries."

Bei Feng remained seated calmly as he revolved his blood and Qi to repair the injuries done by flying at supersonic speed. His eyes remained closed and a solitary aura flowed out of him, giving one a sensation as though he was a distant being that could not be approached.

Jiang Ranran pulled Li Mei away and rejoined the group. Those that were responsible for collecting firewood went about their thing, while those who were responsible for looking for wild vegetables also went off. The small team had clearly defined roles after being together for so many days.

Soon, numerous bowls of wild vegetable soup was ready. Jiang Ranran carried a bowl of soup and brought it to Bei Feng.

"I hope you won't disdain this, but our rations are already finished," Jiang Ranran said with some awkwardness as she pushed the bowl towards Bei Feng.

'What an interesting little girl.'

Bei Feng opened his eyes, accepted the bowl of tasteless soup and drank it up wordlessly.

As he drank the soup, the fact that he was also only in his twenties did not cross his mind at all.

An Esteemed Xiantian Lord, yet leading the way personally was only rewarded with a bowl of wild vegetables soup... This thought alone caused Bei Feng to chuckle internally with amusement.

"Hou!"

A ferocious roar suddenly rang out, signifying the presence of a tiger. The entire group froze in their actions and their faces paled immediately.

A three-meter-long tiger sauntered out of the forest and walked into the clearing. It looked exceptionally carefree, as if it was inspecting its own territory.

"AH!"

"A tiger! Run!"

Li Mei and the rest screeched in terror and turned to flee.

"Don't panic! Don't run!" Jiang Ranran and Ji Wuxie shouted. Forget the question of whether they could outrun the tiger in the first place. If they got separated, it would be another huge headache!

This place was far out of reach of the cell phone signals. It would be difficult to gather everyone together if they got separated.

Alas, not only did Li Mei and the rest not stop, they actually fled all the quicker!

There was a saying that one does not have to run faster than a tiger. One needs only run faster than the person beside them!

Faced with such an immense crisis, it was every man for himself. The craven and selfish characteristics of humans were displayed magnificently in this moment.

Jiang Ranran ran forward to intercept the rest. But unexpectedly, the hysterical female beside Li Mei directly shoved her aside without the slightest hesitation!

"Bam!"

Jiang Ranran stumbled backwards and fell heavily to the ground. Her ankle had also been twisted by the fall.

Looking at the disappearing backs of her 'friends', Jiang Ranran felt a terrible bitterness in her throat. At this moment, she only found herself extremely laughable. She had been wrecking her brains the entire time and trying her best to bring everyone out. But at the critical moment, she had actually been stabbed in the back by the very people she tried to help!

"Are you alright? Get up, let's go!"

Ji Wuxie sprinted over and pulled on Jiang Ranran's arm, attempting to pull her to her feet.

"You go on ahead. You won't be able to escape too if you tried to bring me along."

Jiang Ranran looked at the approaching tiger as tears welled up in her eyes. In that moment, she steeled her heart as a strength she never knew she possessed rose up in her body. With a forceful push, she slapped Ji Wuxie's arm away and threw herself at the tiger.

"RANRAN!"

Ji Wuxie screamed desperately. It was quite obvious that Jiang Ranran intended to trade her life to allow Ji Wuxie to escape!

"These two have fine character. At the critical moment, they did not forsake the other for self preservation. That's true friendship and loyalty."

Bei Feng watched the entire scene unfold from his spot under the tree. He had refrained from intervening earlier since these people were mere passersby to him.

Since it was convenient for him, he did not mind leading them out. But if they decided to run off on their own, it was not his business to stand out and stop them while boasting of his abilities.

Jiang Ranran fell into the path of the tiger. The distance between them was now only two, three meters. Behind her, Ji Wuxie was sprinting madly towards her, not willing to give up on her.

From the looks of it, the brave girl's fragrance would be snuffed and her jade broken. She would undoubtedly become the meal of the tiger!

Against all expectations, the tiger actually rolled its eyes and threw her a strange gaze before proceeding to walk around her instead.

Ji Wuxie took the chance to rush over and grabbed Jiang Ranran into his embrace. "Are you alright? Why are you so silly?!"

Jiang Ranran did not say anything. Her tears flowed freely as she wrapped her trembling arms tightly around Ji Wuxie's waist.

Although she appeared strong on the outside, she was still just an ordinary girl. She too longed to have the love and protection of a man. Ji Wuxie's actions had touched the softest part of her heart. What more could she ask for in such a man?

Bei Feng's lips twitched heavily as he looked at this touching scene before him. Was he being fed a bag of dog feed right now? [1]

At this time, they saw the tiger plodding towards Bei Feng. Immediately, their hearts pounded fiercely once again.

"Careful! Climb up the tree! Quickly!" Ji Wuxie shouted. Bei Feng was still sitting motionlessly, as though he had been scared silly.

"Hou!"

As it neared, the tiger suddenly picked up its speed and pounced towards Bei Feng!

Jiang Ranran shielded her eyes and looked away. The kindhearted weirdo was surely going to be torn apart by the tiger in the next second!
