Chapter 279: I Asked You to Touch Me

Chapter 279: Chapter 279: I Asked You to Touch Me

The sprawling army of flesh-eating ants.

Still swirling incessantly.

In the midst of the death spiral, Lin Fan held Xu Zhi Rou, who was light as if boneless, in his arms.

"Are you holding on tight?"

"I’m holding tight!"

With her face flushing red, Xu Zhi Rou replied helplessly.

This guy was clearly doing it on purpose.

"Let’s confirm it again, it was you who asked me to touch."

Lin Fan weighed the more than a hundred jin of Xu Zhi Rou.

Lin Fan couldn’t understand.

The surge in front of him, how could it be so light?

"Yes... it was me who asked you to touch, are you done yet? Hurry up and go!"

Although she had grown up among men since she was a child.

Xu Zhi Rou had never been so close to a man before.

Now being held and touched by him, it was incredibly awkward.

"I’m telling you, you can’t spread this around, it might tarnish my reputation."

Lin Fan had a mischievous grin on his face.

If Prince Zhen Nan found out he was treating his daughter this way,

He wouldn’t know if he’d send an army to drag him back and make him his son-in-law.

"I don’t even care about reputation... and you do... you’re too bullying."

Xu Zhi Rou, her lips pursed, glared at Lin Fan somewhat angrily.

Even though he had taken all the advantage, how could this guy still act coy?

"You don’t care because you don’t have one, but I am a man of integrity and purity, don’t frame me."

Lin Fan was being a rogue with his words,

but his feet were already gathering strength.

With a push from his legs,

he shot out like a cannonball.

This leap covered a distance of more than ten meters.

He landed precisely on a small shrub.

Without pausing, he leaped into the air again.

That graceful drifting figure quickly jumped several hundred meters out of the death spiral.

"Okay, it’s safe now."

When Lin Fan finally landed on his feet again,

he was already outside the zone of ants.

Looking back at the red swarm behind him, flaming like fire,

he couldn’t help but feel apprehensive about the experience.

"If you’ve touched enough, you can put me down now."

Xu Zhi Rou, clinging tightly to Lin Fan’s neck, finally felt relieved.

But this guy was still holding her tightly.

"Ah, women always need more when in front, not when behind. I just saved your life, and now you accuse me of taking advantage?"

Lin Fan helplessly set Xu Zhi Rou down on the ground.

It wasn’t the first time he was at a disadvantage like this.

"I’m just speaking the truth, but don’t worry, Brother-in-law, I won’t tell Sister Meng Yao. This will be our little secret."

Xu Zhi Rou stretched lazily.

Having run almost to the point of suffocation, she was drenched in sweat,

but it had brought down her high fever.

Though she still felt somewhat sore and achy,

it wasn’t a big deal.

"Brother-in-law? Aren’t you recognizing relatives a bit too quickly?"

Laughing at Xu Zhi Rou, who seemed to have turned into a green giant,

Lin Fan started to quite like her.

First, for being genuinely caring about her direct reports,

and secondly, for stepping into danger voluntarily, she was indeed a woman of great valor.

"Meng Yao is my sister, so you’re naturally my brother-in-law, from now on, I’m family."

Xu Zhi Rou, feeling reborn, was in high spirits.

Although she had been taken advantage of, as long as it wasn’t a matter of life and death, it wasn’t a big issue.

"Sure, don’t they say a sister-in-law is half a butt to a brother-in-law? Come on, let me touch."

Lin Fan teased, reaching out his hand, only to have it swatted away by Xu Zhi Rou.

"Stop it, not just half; you’ve touched all of it just now. I warn you; Meng Yao is so kind, you better not be a scumbag."

"I’m not a scumbag, but at least I’m a normal man. Shouldn’t you put on your clothes first?"

Lin Fan said with a smile, handing his coat to Xu Zhi Rou.

"Then why didn’t you say that earlier!"

Only then did Xu Zhi Rou remember that she was just clothed in her underwear.

She hurriedly wrapped the coat around her body.

"Only a fool wouldn’t want to look."

Lin Fan suddenly turned serious, "Little sister-in-law, we should head back too, or your sister will start to get worried. But let me repeat seriously, now is definitely not the best time to rescue anyone. Those guys are definitely more terrifying than these man-eating ants."

"I know, you just don’t want Sister Meng Yao to be endangered, I understand you, and I take back everything I said before, you are not a coward."

Xu Zhi Rou stuck out her tongue and said, "You are a big pervert!"

The recent adventures had more than proven Lin Fan’s bravery and strategy.

With his skills and courage,

And his calm and unique thinking,

She was now sure her father hadn’t been wrong.

This man was truly exceptional.

"Next time, I’ll feed you to the tigers."

Lin Fan rolled his eyes and stepped forward.

But it must be said, Xu Zhi Rou’s figure was indeed stunning.

"I’m supposed to be your little sister-in-law! If you dare treat me like this, I’ll tell Sister Meng Yao."

Xu Zhi Rou hurried after him, "Brother-in-law, what’s your next plan? Come on, tell me."

"I don’t have any long-term plans yet, but we must get into the mountains before tonight. This flat terrain can easily be surrounded, and since this island was formed by a volcanic eruption, the mountain’s geology isn’t just rock. So we need to find a cave to hide and heal, and once we’re there, we’ll think of something else. So I’m warning you, don’t mess with me."

For now, Lin Fan could only play it by ear.

But regardless of the plan, ensuring Ning Mengyao’s safety had to come first.

"I promise to listen to everything you say, is that not enough?"

Xu Zhi Rou pouted.

At this moment, following Lin Fan was indeed the best choice.

"Listen to everything I say? Then let me see your chest again."

Lin Fan turned around with a smile.

"Get lost!"

His seemingly frivolous manner made Xu Zhi Rou roll her eyes.

She couldn’t quite figure out whether this guy was good or bad.

"Ouch!"

Just as the two of them were heading to where Ning Mengyao was hiding,

a sudden roar of a beast echoed thunderously.

"Not good, Meng Yao is in danger!"

Lin Fan listened for the direction of the sound and immediately cursed inwardly.

The place from where the beast’s roar came,

was exactly where Ning Mengyao was hiding.

In his anxiety, he immediately sped up his pace.

In an instant, he disappeared without a trace.

"How far has this guy reached to move so fast!"

Xu Zhi Rou, following behind, stared in disbelief at the empty grass.

Just a moment ago, he had effortlessly carried her leaping over a distance of more than ten meters.

Just how strong was someone with such divine skills?

But right now, she didn’t have time to ponder further.

She hurriedly sprinted forward.

...

High in the tree canopy, Ning Mengyao’s face was pale as she clung to the shaking branch.

Below the tree, which was thick enough for two people to embrace, two huge brown bears were roaring with their heads tilted back.

They constantly slapped the tree trunk with their thick bear paws.

The sturdy tree was continuously shaking.

The wide gaping maws were enough to strike terror in Ning Mengyao’s heart.

"Bang!"

With another powerful slap, countless leaves were shaken off.

The branch Ning Mengyao was on swayed even more.

She heard a cracking sound.

The branch had broken.

"Ah!"
