Chapter 467: Herb-picking adventure! The ambiguity escalates, and the heartbeat speeds up!

In a relatively open space, she saw Lu Lingfeng. Lu Lingfeng sat cross-legged, his eyes closed, and his body was emitting a faint light. He was obviously practicing to improve his soul power.

Pei Xijun felt happy and stood quietly aside, not wanting to disturb Lu Lingfeng's practice.

But after a while, Lu Lingfeng seemed to be aware of her presence and slowly opened his eyes.

"Xijun? Why are you here?"

Lu Lingfeng's voice sounded particularly clear in the silent night.

When he saw Pei Xijun next to him, his heart surged.

Under the night, the atmosphere became a little ambiguous.

Pei Xijun smiled slightly and raised the lantern in his hand. Gentle replied:

"I came to collect herbs, but I didn't expect to see you practicing. There are some special herbs that are easier to find in the forest at night. How is your practice going?"

Lu Lingfeng stood up and stretched his muscles.

"I have gained something. The forest aura is more intense at night, which is very helpful for my practice. However, it is too dangerous for you to collect medicine alone at night."

Pei Xijun shook his head gently:

"I will be careful. And I am not unprepared. I bring some self-defense medicine and tools. But you, don't rush for success in practice, you must pay attention to your body."

Lu Lingfeng looked at Pei Xijun with tenderness in his eyes:

"Don't worry, I know. Have you picked any good herbs?"

Pei Xijun opened the medicine basket, showed the herbs inside, and said with slight confusion:

"There are some rare herbs. By the way, have you finished practicing? Why don't you accompany me to collect herbs?"

Lu Lingfeng looked at Pei Xijun's expectant eyes, felt warm in his heart, smiled and nodded:

"Okay, then I will accompany you to collect herbs."

Pei Xijun's face suddenly burst into a bright smile, like the brightest star in the night sky.

She raised the lantern higher to light the way ahead.

Lu Lingfeng followed closely beside her, scanning the surrounding environment with vigilant eyes.

Pei Xijun was humming a tune softly as he walked, feeling particularly comfortable.

She turned to look at Lu Lingfeng from time to time, her eyes full of joy.

Lu Lingfeng felt her gaze and would respond with a gentle smile.

Sudden.

Pei Xijun's foot was tripped by a vine hidden under a fallen leaf.

"oops!"

She exclaimed, losing her balance and falling forward.

Lu Lingfeng had quick eyes and quick hands. He instantly reached out and hugged her waist.

Pei Xijun felt like the world was spinning and he couldn't control his body at all.

Then, he fell into a warm and solid embrace.

Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and her cheeks instantly became hot.

She raised her head and met Lu Lingfeng's concerned eyes.

Lu Lingfeng's eyes were full of nervousness, and he hugged Pei Xijun's waist tightly, as if he was afraid that she would be hurt.

"Xijun, are you okay?"

he asked softly, a nervous tremor in his voice.

Pei Xijun shook his head and said in a panic:

"Yeah, I'm fine."

She tried to break away from Lu Lingfeng's arms, but found that her body was limp and she had no strength at all.

Lu Lingfeng did not let her go immediately, but lowered his head and carefully checked whether she was injured.

His hair gently brushed Pei Xijun's cheek, causing a tickling feeling.

Pei Xijun's heart beat even faster, and she could even hear her own heartbeat beating vigorously and rhythmically.

"Are you really not injured? Did you get scratched anywhere?"

Lu Lingfeng asked again, his tone full of concern.

Pei Xijun blushed and shook his head again:

"It's really okay, you can let me go."

Only then did Lu Lingfeng realize that he was still hugging Pei Xijun tightly, and a blush appeared on his face.

He gently let go of Pei Xijun, touched his head awkwardly and said:

"Um...I'm sorry, I was too worried about you just now."

Pei Xijun adjusted his clothes and did not dare to look into Lu Lingfeng's eyes.

"Yeah, it's okay, thank you."

she whispered.

The atmosphere between them became a little subtle, and an ambiguous atmosphere filled the air.

Lu Lingfeng cleared his throat, trying to break the awkward situation.

"Let's keep walking, be careful."

he said.

Pei Xijun nodded and followed him silently.

They continued walking in the deep forest.

However.

The scene just now lingered in Pei Xijun's mind.

She glanced at Lu Lingfeng secretly from time to time, feeling an inexplicable emotion well up in her heart.

Lu Lingfeng also felt something strange about Pei Xijun, and he also felt a little uneasy in his heart.

He tried to stay calm and focus on his surroundings.

But every time he saw Pei Xijun's beautiful figure, an uncontrollable impulse would surge in his heart.

"Xijun, are you tired? How about we take a rest."

Lu Lingfeng said suddenly.

Pei Xijun shook his head:

"I'm not tired, let's keep walking."

It's not that she doesn't want to stop, but because she's afraid that once she stops, the ambiguous atmosphere will make her even more overwhelmed.

Lu Lingfeng saw what she was thinking, he smiled and said no more.

They continued walking forward, and after a while, they came to a small stream. The stream gurgled, shining silver in the moonlight.

Pei Xijun was attracted by this beautiful scenery. She walked to the stream, squatted down, and gently touched the stream with her hands.

The stream was cool and comfortable, which made her feel particularly happy.

Lu Lingfeng stood behind her and looked at her quietly.

His eyes were full of tenderness and love, and he felt that Pei Xijun was the most beautiful woman in the world.

"This creek is so beautiful."

Pei Xijun said softly.

Lu Lingfeng nodded:

"Yeah, beautiful. Just like you."

His voice was very low, but Pei Xijun still heard it.

Her cheeks turned red again and she didn't know how to respond.

"Let's continue looking for medicine."

Pei Xijun said with a blushing face.

The two of them continued walking, the leaves rustling under their feet.

Pei Xijun carefully observed the surrounding vegetation as he walked, looking for those precious herbs.

Lu Lingfeng occasionally reminded her gently to pay attention to the stones or branches under her feet to prevent her from falling again.

"Look, there's a purple leaf grass over there!"

Pei Xijun suddenly said excitedly, pointing to a patch of grass not far away.

Among the dark green grass, there is a light purple leaf that looks particularly dazzling in the moonlight.

She walked over quickly, squatted down, carefully dug out the purple leaf grass from the soil, and put it into the medicine basket.

Lu Lingfeng stood aside, looking at her focused look, his eyes full of appreciation.

"This purple leaf grass is a rare good medicinal material and can be used to refine many precious elixirs."

Pei Xijun raised his head and explained to Lu Lingfeng.

Lu Lingfeng nodded slightly:

"Your knowledge of herbs is truly profound."

Pei Xijun smiled:

"I have been interested in herbal medicine since I was a child, and I have been studying and researching it over the years." (End of chapter)
