Chapter 276: Chapter 276 Hurry up and take off your clothes!

When a ray of sunlight, filtering through the cracks, shone on Ning Mengyao’s face.

Only then did she slowly open her eyes.

"You’re awake!"

The slight movement in her body did not escape Lin Fan’s perception.

He looked down with a smile at Ning Mengyao, who still rested her head on his arm, curled up in his embrace.

After yesterday’s events, the last barrier between the two had been broken.

"Yes, I slept very well."

Ning Mengyao shyly looked at Lin Fan’s face, which was so close to hers.

The distinct sharpness of his handsome features truly made her heart flutter.

If Xu Zhi Rou hadn’t been around.

She would have, at the very least, offered her lips for him to taste.

But suddenly, she felt an emptiness at her back.

Anxious, she turned around, only to find that Xu Zhi Rou had vanished without a trace.

"Where’s Xu Zhi Rou?"

Ning Mengyao turned her head, looking puzzled at Lin Fan.

"She got up about half an hour ago. I’m not sure where she went; I didn’t have the heart to wake you because you were sleeping so soundly," Lin Fan said with a smile.

"Didn’t you say she still had snake poison in her? How dangerous is it for her to go out like this?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Mengyao quickly got up.

She wriggled out of the cramped shelter.

But looking around, everything was quiet.

"Where has she gone?"

Not daring to shout loudly, Ning Mengyao searched around.

She saw no sign of Xu Zhi Rou.

"She probably decided to walk into the trap herself," Lin Fan said as he stretched lazily.

It was clear, this stubborn Xu Zhi Rou had not given up her foolish idea.

In the end, she had decided to rescue her comrades alone.

"Then why didn’t you stop her a little? She’s injured, going out like this, isn’t she doomed to die?" Ning Mengyao looked anxiously at Lin Fan.

Although they had only met once.

Xu Zhi Rou’s identity had greatly increased Ning Mengyao’s liking for her.

"You can save anyone in this world, except those who seek death themselves. If they still go even knowing they’ll die, then they can only resign themselves to fate," Lin Fan said, shaking his head helplessly.

Wrong-headed stubbornness only makes things worse.

"If you were the one captured, I would go even if I knew it meant my death," Ning Mengyao suddenly looked at Lin Fan with determination: "I know you’re very rational, but some things can’t just be analyzed rationally, otherwise what’s the difference between humans and machines? What makes us human is our foolish emotions. She and those brothers share a bond as close as limbs; if she can’t share life with them, she might as well die with them; otherwise, how could she continue to live?"

"You win," Lin Fan was stunned by Ning Mengyao’s words and couldn’t help but show a helpless smile.

Recalling his military career, he had done absurd things more than once.

Maybe life back in his country had become too comfortable.

He had begun to gradually forget what hot-blooded passion felt like.

"I knew you were the best. Let’s hurry and find her. Even if you don’t think now is the time for a rescue, at least don’t let her take any more risks. Once she calms down, we can come up with a long-term plan," Ning Mengyao said with a smile as she took Lin Fan’s hand.

It must be said, she was so magnanimous at this moment.

"Alright," Lin Fan gathered the spoils of war.

Then he followed the trail left by Xu Zhi Rou, pursuing her path.

"She must have started to develop a fever by now; still being so stubborn with the snake poison in her, it’s a wonder how she survived the battlefield," Lin Fan muttered as he followed the staggered footprints left by Xu Zhi Rou.

This kind of irrational haste was simply too foolish.

"Your medical skills are so formidable; you must have a way to help her," Ning Mengyao looked at Lin Fan with admiration.

In this jungle, he was like a god who could do anything.

"Of course, there are ways, but we have to find her first," Lin Fan said as he tracked and searched through the jungle.

Soon, he had several stalks of green grass in his hand.

Then he put them in his mouth to chew.

"Do you need some dry food? You can’t just fill up on grass and fruit, can you?"

Ning Mengyao looked at Lin Fan, puzzled.

He hadn’t eaten anything last night.

It was obvious he wanted to leave all the food for her, the burden he was carrying.

"This isn’t just any grass. It’s a subspecies of Tian Qi, with the effect of dispersing pain and detoxifying. We don’t have time to grind it, so chewing it with our mouths will have to do."

Lin Fan spat the chewed-up, pasty medicinal herb onto a piece of cloth.

With this, he could treat Xu Zhi Rou’s condition.

"Lin Fan, you’re really amazing."

Ning Mengyao’s eyes shone as she looked at Lin Fan’s operations.

Why had she not realized before how handsome her man was?

"If it weren’t for that third wheel, you’d see something even more impressive."

Lin Fan winked with a mischievous smile on his face.

At that statement, Ning Mengyao’s face flushed red.

The event from last night that was almost completed.

It looked like it would have to be postponed.

"What’s the rush? Once we get back, we’ll have plenty of time. You can be as impressive as you want."

Ning Mengyao’s face was bashfully red.

This honeymoon journey had brought their relationship to new heights.

Just thinking about the security she felt curled up in his arms.

Her happiness was off the charts.

The pair hadn’t walked far before they saw Xu Zhi Rou, exhausted, sitting on the ground.

"Isn’t that Miss Xu? Where are you planning to stroll off to with such a high fever?"

Lin Fan walked up, looking at Xu Zhi Rou who had collapsed on the ground.

The snake poison had caused her to run a high fever.

Her face was red, clearly out of strength.

"Where I go is none of your business!"

An exhausted Xu Zhi Rou glared at Lin Fan, huffing with annoyance.

Upon waking up today, her first action was to escape that shelter.

"Enough, both of you, cut it out. You’ve got a fever, and you can’t go on arguing like this."

Ning Mengyao quickly stepped between them.

Caringly, she took the piece of cloth with herbs from Lin Fan’s hand.

"He found some medicinal herbs that can detoxify your wound. Let me apply it, and we’ll think of other matters after your fever goes down!"

"I don’t need his fake kindness."

Xu Zhi Rou stubbornly refused.

"Come on, without good health, how will you rescue your brother? Don’t be angry anymore. If you go down, who will save those brothers? Let me apply the medicine first!"

Ning Mengyao said with a smile, squatting down.

She turned her head, "Gentlemen, please look away."

Because Xu Zhi Rou’s wound required taking off her pants.

It’s not like she could let him watch.

"Alright then!"

Lin Fan shrugged his shoulders.

He took steps towards a nearby thicket.

Of course, he couldn’t stray too far.

There were dangers lurking in the forest everywhere.

One misstep could lead to trouble.

And just as he was looking around out of sheer boredom,

he suddenly noticed a mound of earth nearby starting to bulge slowly.

Upon closer inspection, he saw countless red ants pouring out of it.

The creatures, the size of soybeans, were heading straight towards him.

"Not good!"

Lin Fan had seen these before, the infamous man-eating ants.

Although he didn’t know why a swarm of man-eating ants, which should live in the desert, had appeared here,

he knew danger had arrived.

Turning to run, Lin Fan dashed back to the women.

At this moment, Xu Zhi Rou had just taken off her outer pants and was lying on the ground.

This stunned both women.

But Lin Fan’s next words perplexed them even more.

"Quick, take off your clothes!"
