CHAPTER 1778: CHAPTER 1779: LÜ FENGXIAN

Lü Bu suddenly grabbed at something beside her, but she grasped empty air, for her Fang Tian Hua Ji had fallen onto the cliff.

"Hey? Your voice is strong, looks like you’re recovering well." Your voice came from the entrance of the cave.

At the sound of this voice, Lü Bu’s face suddenly revealed a long-lost smile, the kind of expression a little girl has when she regains her most precious possession. It was an expression that emerged naturally.

Lü Bu didn’t ask you where you had been, she turned away, pretending not to look at you.

"Hey, your treasure."

You handed a heavy object to Lü Bu, who turned abruptly to face you and asked in surprise, "How, how did you find it?"

"Your Fang Tian Hua Ji is easy to find, those soldiers looking for you outside were always carrying it. I happened to pass by and retrieved it for you," you said lightly, but Lü Bu knew you must have gone through a fierce battle, and from you, Lü Bu could smell the scent of blood.

Lü Bu caressed the Fang Tian Hua Ji in her hand, the only item left by her father, yet at this moment, Lü Bu had a sudden impulse that if she had to choose between Fang Tian Hua Ji and you, she would definitely choose you!

"Ahh, you’re in luck today. I’m in a good mood, I’m cooking myself, you’re in for a treat."

Lü Bu turned around to find you preparing a simple wooden frame, with a stick skewering three fish on it. The scales were cleaned, the guts removed, and even the heads chopped off, showing your attention to detail.

"I originally wanted to get you a couple of rabbits, but your time of the month is still on, so too greasy stuff isn’t suitable. Normally, grilled fish isn’t ideal either, but there’s not much here in the deep mountain wilderness, fish is rich in protein and easily digestible, beneficial for your body."

Your words are neither polished nor crude, although they sound a bit odd, Lü Bu loved listening to you talk. Although she often had to guess the meaning of some new words you used, like "time of the month" which seemed to mean menstruation, and she was not quite sure about protein. Lü Bu didn’t ask though, as she didn’t care about these things, as long as you were by her side, her heart felt peaceful and calm.

You used dry grass as the base, then laid on top the dry wood collected from outside, using flint to ignite the flame, and soon, the entire cave was enveloped in the firelight.

Lü Bu naturally saw you preparing the meal, and at this moment, Lü Bu’s whole heart calmed down. This instant, she suddenly had a feeling of a century-old change.

While grilling the fish, you said, "My name is Li Muyun, what about you?"

Lü Bu suddenly fell silent, it was her secret, truly no more than ten people alive knew this secret.

"Sorry, touched your privacy. Let’s leave it at that, anyway, I’m bored, let me tell you a joke. So..."

"My name is Lü Fengxian."

Lü Bu, no, Lü Fengxian suddenly blurted out these words, then lowered her head. You didn’t know the deep meaning behind Lü Fengxian uttering these three words.

You were first stunned, then you smiled, "Phoenix and Immortal?"

"Fengxian means female mountain." Lü Fengxian didn’t know why she kept explaining, but she just couldn’t control herself.

"Got it, it’s a pleasant-sounding name," you praised sincerely.

Lü Fengxian remained silent for a moment, then said quietly, "My mother died after giving birth to me, and my father died of illness when I was eight years old."

"Sorry, I touched upon your sad matters." Nevertheless, you didn’t become silent, since at this time a guy should appear humorous, cheerful, and optimistic, you continued to smile carefree, "It’s nothing much, I believe as long as we live well and happily, our parents would be happier and more joyful in heaven!"

"Mm!" Lü Fengxian suddenly nodded firmly.

"Alright!" You brought the grilled fish to Lü Fengxian, a tempting fragrance spread all around, "Come and taste my cooking skills."

Lü Fengxian took the grilled fish and started eating, compared to the fine food she had before, she had never tasted such coarse food. But the grilled fish, which looked coarse, had an endless aftertaste in her mouth, whether it was because she had never tasted grilled fish or the charm of the cook.

Watching Lü Fengxian’s elegant and careful eating manner, you couldn’t help but tease, "Honestly, I never thought, the great King of Killers Lu Bu would turn out to be such a beautiful young lady."

After hearing this, Lü Fengxian stopped eating and looked straight at you, softly saying, "There are some things I can’t tell you."

Shaking your shoulders, you laughed easily, "Of course, someone like us peasants don’t even have the qualification to walk at your side..."

"It’s not like that!" Lü Fengxian quickly said upon hearing you speak, "This issue concerns many people’s lives, if I tell you..."

Speaking to this point, Lü Fengxian bowed her head because she couldn’t continue, your expression was clearly changing.

"Why, afraid I would snitch?" you suddenly laughed heartily, stood up, gently patted Lü Fengxian on the shoulder, using a seemingly casual tone said, "Alright, seems like your body has recovered enough, I should be leaving as well. If fate allows, see you again."

After speaking, you turned to leave.

Lü Fengxian had just reached out her hand, wanting to call you, but quickly she withdrew it because she carried too much on her shoulders, though she completely trusted you personally, she couldn’t take this risk. Once secrets are leaked, thousands of people in her clan, young and old, would be implicated.

As she watched you walk out of the cave, as the bond between you suddenly seemed broken, Lü Fengxian shouted at your back, "Fire Child is my nickname, only my parents can call me that."

You turned your head slightly but didn’t turn around, raised your right hand, waved it behind you to Lü Fengxian, softly said, "Let’s meet again if fate allows."

Lü Fengxian quickly chased after with a phrase, "Can I call you Muyun?"

"It’s my honor, goodbye, Fire Child." With those words, you walked out of the cave, disappeared into the bright sunshine.

After you left, Lü Fengxian suddenly felt a void in her heart, as if you took something away.

"With his capabilities, it won’t be long before we meet again," Lü Fengxian comforted herself with these words, then reached for the heavy armor...

The mountain weather was now delightful, dappled sunlight fell through the leaves, and the mountain breeze blew warmth, causing one not to burst into beastly instincts, but rather songful ones, so you crossed your hands behind your head, struck a relaxed pose, walked along the mountain path, and sang in a voice that people would find maddening:

"Lick Mimi~~

You smile and lick Mimi~~

Seems like the thing, blooming on the lip seam,

Blooming on the lip seam.

Where,

Where were you cheaper than~~~

Your smile so animal wild,

Ah!

In the dream.

In the dream~~

Fiercely cheapened you~~~

While licking Mimi, smiling so sweetly~~~

It’s you!

It’s you!

Fiercely cheapened is you~~~

...

Ah!

And fiercely~~~

You sang along the way, your moral integrity scattered all the way.

Overall, your mood was quite good. Although these past two days were spent taking care of Lü Fengxian, you didn’t lose out at all, moreover based on the little girl’s expression, she seemed to have some good feelings for you too, just constrained by certain things unable to express.

Anyway, to you, in the future Lü Fengxian certainly wouldn’t be an enemy, even on the battlefield there’s no need to worry about it.

Always heading north, being in this world for more than a month, never truly entered the civilized world. Walking along the mountain path for nearly two days, you finally saw smoke curling.

The place where smoke rose was a small village, looking not very many houses, approximately fifty households. The village was built at the foot of the mountain, nestled against the mountain and by the water, with a picturesque setting.
