Chapter 283: Chapter 283: The Little Sister-in-Law Brand Hand Warmer

"Awooo!"

The night on Evil Island.

The howls of unknown beasts were so terrifying.

Fortunately, everything was as Lin Fan had predicted.

After entering the forest, they found a suitable cave.

Though the entrance was narrow, it was over ten meters deep.

Lin Fan started a campfire and placed it inside the cave.

The smoke was funneled through smaller crevices into the mountain.

This way, they could rest without freezing.

They spread the bear skin they had skinned on the ground.

An exhausted Ning Mengyao was already lying on it, fast asleep.

But her furrowed brow proved that the dream was not that beautiful.

She was just too tired to wake up.

Lin Fan blocked the entrance of the cave.

He was using a dagger to cut the snake tendon he was holding, illuminated by the pale moonlight in the sky.

He wanted to make a more suitable weapon.

Suddenly, a faint sound of footsteps came from deep within the cave.

Without looking up, Lin Fan knew it was Xu Zhi Rou.

"Why aren’t you asleep?"

"Can’t sleep, what are you doing?"

The weary Xu Zhi Rou sat down next to Lin Fan.

She looked at the white snake tendon in his hand the thickness of a finger.

It was what he had stripped from the body of a forest python today.

"Making a slingshot. There’s a lot of crystal stone here from volcanic ash that’s cooled down, which is obsidian. Using it as silent bullets is the best," Lin Fan explained as he picked up a sharply edged piece of obsidian from the ground and handed it to Xu Zhi Rou.

In his hands, this thing was much more useful than a bullet.

"What exactly are you?"

Lin Fan’s series of actions had surpassed the label of exceptional.

Xu Zhi Rou really wanted to know the true identity of this matchmaking candidate.

"Your dad asked me the same question," said Lin Fan with a mysterious smile, continuing to work on the slingshot.

"If even my dad doesn’t know, then you’re not from the five military districts. You must be directly affiliated, or... " Xu Zhi Rou suddenly realized something.

She looked at Lin Fan with astonishment.

Indeed, only someone from that particular troop could be so exceptional.

"You better not speak ill of the Wolf Fang. We hold grudges," Lin Fan said with a smile, watching Xu Zhi Rou.

Since she had already guessed, there was no need to hide it.

After all, Prince Zhen Nan surely had his suspicions too.

"You really are one of the Wolf Fang soldiers... Oh my God!" Xu Zhi Rou covered her mouth in shock.

The Wolf Fang was a sanctuary in the hearts of all soldiers.

A legendary force, passed down by word of mouth.

She couldn’t believe that the person beside her was actually from that revered place.

"Head Wolf Lin Fan," Lin Fan said with a smile, raising his eyebrows.

Her admiration for the Wolf Fang showed on her face, which amused him.

After all, being a soldier of the Wolf Fang was an honor.

"Head Wolf..." Xu Zhi Rou’s mouth was agape with surprise.

She was so excited she forgot to breathe.

The nickname implied that Lin Fan was the king of soldiers, a god of war among war gods.

And all those operations that astounded everyone before were simply basic for him.

No wonder her father, who never rushed her for marriage, had asked her to go on a blind date.

Because this man was not one in a thousand.

Nor one in ten thousand.

But the only one in the whole world.

"Can you close your mouth? If you keep it open, it’ll be bigger than the forest python’s," Lin Fan teased, reaching out and poking her tongue with his finger.

Xu Zhi Rou then realized her gaffe and her cheeks immediately flushed red.

But at this moment, she wouldn’t get angry or annoyed over such a small matter anymore.

After all, he was the Head Wolf.

Not to mention poking her tongue.

He could poke anywhere he wanted.

"So why did you come back to the country?"

Finally, Xu Zhi Rou asked the curious question.

At the same time, she unconsciously moved closer to Lin Fan.

"Searching for my origins, now I’ve traced it to the Death Lake on Evil Island, that’s why I got involved in your trouble."

Lin Fan did not conceal his objective.

Hearing this, Xu Zhi Rou had even more questions.

"Is Langya really as formidable as the legends say? And the incident from the year before last, was that resolved by you guys? Were you involved in last year’s operation too...?"

She had now turned into a fan girl.

She wanted to ask all her questions at once.

"You are a soldier too, you should know that these matters are classified."

Lin Fan did not answer.

Many things, he must keep to himself.

Even if he had to take them to the grave, he absolutely couldn’t say a word.

Because this is loyalty.

"Right right right... I forgot... sorry... sorry..."

Xu Zhi Rou, realizing something was amiss, immediately apologized.

These three words were, in her entire life, the first time she said them so crisply.

"Alright, you’ve just recovered from a serious illness, you should go in and rest, I’ll keep watch."

Lin Fan watched Xu Zhi Rou, whose face was still deathly pale.

The consecutive battles in recent days had drained most of her energy.

"I just want to sit here, is that alright?"

If it were before, Xu Zhi Rou would have left without any hesitation.

After all, he was a married man.

But having learned of his identity, she really didn’t want to leave.

Even just sitting shoulder to shoulder with him for a while was the best for her.

"If you’re not afraid I’ll take advantage of you, then stay seated."

Of course, Lin Fan had no way to drive her away.

After all, she hadn’t done anything.

"You’ve saved me three times, my life is yours, if you want to take advantage, go ahead, I definitely won’t tell my sister."

Xu Zhi Rou was straightforward, and definitely not as indecisive as Yang Linglong.

She fearlessly, without hiding anything, told Lin Fan.

She idolized him to death.

He could do whatever he wanted.

"Forget it, I’m afraid your dad will bomb me with missiles."

Lin Fan chuckled.

This wasn’t some girl at the front desk.

But the sole daughter of Prince Zhen Nan.

With her special status, he couldn’t just do as he pleased.

"Don’t worry, if it wasn’t for discovering Jiujui Sect, my dad would definitely have forced me to go back to Jiangning to have a blind date with you. If he knew, he’d only be grinning from ear to ear, not willing to bomb you at all."

Xu Zhi Rou pursed her lips.

The her who was fiercely opposed before, now suddenly regretted it.

If she had known it was Lin Fan whom she was to have a blind date with.

She would have gone back no matter what.

Even if he had a wife, she could be a confidante, couldn’t she?

The cold night wind kept blowing into the cave.

Seeing Lin Fan’s hands, still busy, now red from the cold.

"Your hands still need to do important things, let me warm them for you."

Xu Zhi Rou, gathering her courage, stretched out her hand and pulled his into her embrace.

Even through the clothes, she could still feel the warmth and softness.

"Is this a little sister-in-law brand hand warmer?"

Under the dim moonlight, Lin Fan looked at Xu Zhi Rou’s tender face.

This girl’s boldness was growing more and more.

His words seemed like teasing but were also a reminder to her.

His wife was sleeping inside after all.

"It’s a special hand warmer for the head wolf."

Xu Zhi Rou, biting her lower lip, looked at Lin Fan with eyes full of affection.

"Little sister-in-law, you’re being a bit naughty."

Lin Fan smiled and pinched her youthful nose.

"I learned it from my brother-in-law."

But Xu Zhi Rou stuck out her tongue.

The gratitude for saving her life three times, coupled with years of admiration.

Forget warming hands, she’d even warm his bed if necessary.

However, the howl of a wolf not far away interrupted the two of them.

"Ao!"
