Wedding ceremony tomorrow

Chapter 148: Visiting the Church

A chill is creeping in.

Luo Qingfeng immediately wrapped the blanket tighter around himself, closed his eyes, and pretended to be asleep.

Fortunately, the captain only said one sentence before falling silent.

I feel really wronged.

He clearly did a good deed and saved someone, and should have been praised, but why does he seem so uneasy, as if he's done something underhanded and shameful, afraid that people will find out?

It seems that some good things shouldn't be done casually.

After thinking about these random thoughts for a while, drowsiness came over me, and I soon fell asleep.

When he woke up, it was still pitch black outside.

The cool moonlight fell on the cave entrance.

Nightingale lay asleep beside him, two tear tracks still visible on her cheeks.

Tang Wu changed into a clean purple dress and sat at the entrance of the cave, quietly gazing at the night outside and thinking about things.

Her long, jet-black hair danced slightly in the night breeze at the cave entrance.

That pensive profile possessed a serene beauty under the moonlight.

Luo Qingfeng closed his eyes, not wanting to pay attention to her, but he was no longer sleepy, and the pain in his body had lessened considerably.

He raised his hand and touched the wounds on his face, neck, and chest, and sighed inwardly.

It feels rough and uneven to the touch, and probably looks particularly grotesque and terrifying.

It's impossible to remain calm and undisturbed.

Who doesn't care about their appearance?

It's better to go out and be liked by others than to make them afraid and terrified, right?

I'm so ashamed to face anyone now.

As he was lost in thought, Tang Wu turned to look at him and said, "After you fell asleep, Aying went over to look at your face and cried for a long time. She must have felt very guilty and remorseful."

Luo Qingfeng opened his eyes, sat up, glanced at the sleeping girl beside him, and sighed inwardly.

This matter will probably stay in her heart for the rest of her life.

Tang Wu comforted her, "It's okay. I used to think you were just a pretty boy who lived off women because of your looks. Now, I think even if you lose your looks, you can still make a name for yourself and have women on both sides."

Luo Qingfeng couldn't help but say, "Captain, is that how you comfort someone?"

Tang Wu smiled and said, "I may not be good with words, but they are all the truth."

Luo Qingfeng was about to speak again when he saw the girl beside him twitch her eyebrows, as if she had been disturbed, so he quickly fell silent.

He watched for a while longer before getting up and walking to the cave entrance. He sat down against the wall opposite the captain and asked in a low voice, "Captain, have you noticed that Sister Nightingale's demeanor and aura seem somewhat different from before?"

Tang Wu glanced inside and nodded: "There are indeed some differences, but I can't quite put my finger on them. Could it be that after this life-or-death battle, I'm about to advance again?"

Luo Qingfeng wanted to tell about the little firebird, but after thinking about it, he kept it to himself.

If Nightingale wants to talk about this, she will say it herself.

He shouldn't tell people that casually.

"By the way, what kind of supernatural power did Nightingale awaken?"

Luo Qingfeng asked.

Tang Wu looked at her and said, "Didn't A-Ying tell you?"

Luo Qingfeng shook his head.

Tang Wu smiled and said, "Then I won't tell you either."

Luo Qingfeng was suspicious: "Is it a very powerful supernatural ability?"

Tang Wu smiled and said, "Ask her yourself. She'll tell you when she's in a better mood. Or, you can ask her when you're outside and teasing her; she should tell you then."

Luo Qingfeng: "..."

Tang Wu asked curiously, "By the way, I understand kneeling, crawling, and sitting, but what is a split?"

Luo Qingfeng's lips twitched a few times: "Captain, you were pretending to be asleep after all! Were you talking in your sleep later on purpose too?"

Tang Wu didn't answer: "Tell me first, what is a split?"

Luo Qingfeng ignored her.

Tang Wu smiled and said, "Then I'll ask A-Ying later."

Luo Qingfeng closed his eyes and still ignored her.

Tang Wu stared at him for a while longer, then said, "By the way, my wound is a bit painful, I should change the dressing."

Luo Qingfeng opened his eyes and said, "You can do it yourself."

Tang Wu stretched out her legs and said, "But I can't reach it. My abdomen is injured, so I can't bend over."

Luo Qingfeng glanced at it and asked, "Do you need my help?"

Tang Wu nodded: "Yes, we need to."

As he spoke, he stretched out his long legs, extending his injured foot in front of him.

Luo Qingfeng said, "Lift it up and put it on my shoulder."

Tang Wu was slightly taken aback, then smiled and lifted her long leg, placing it towards his shoulder.

"Bang!"

Unexpectedly, at that moment, Luo Qingfeng suddenly punched her in the sole of the foot!

Tang Wu exclaimed in surprise, pulling her foot back and rubbing it as she asked, "What are you doing?"

Luo Qingfeng said seriously, "Captain, I was just joking with you. You actually took it seriously? Men and women should not touch each other. Please have some self-respect."

After saying that, he got up and went into the cave, sat down on the quilt, closed his eyes to rest, and ignored her.

Tang Wu immediately let out a giggle at the cave entrance, then said, "Aying, he didn't fall for it. He must know you're awake."

The nightingale did indeed open its eyes.

Luo Qingfeng thought to himself: These two women are indeed plotting against me! Luckily, he's a decent person and wasn't fooled.

The nightingale ignored him and got up to go to the cave entrance.

Tang Wu spoke to her in a low voice for a while, then went to the innermost part of the cave to continue resting.

Luo Qingfeng didn't know if she was really asleep or pretending, so he didn't go to the cave entrance. He simply opened his eyes and said, "Sister Nightingale, I'm going to cultivate now. If you get tired, just let me know."

The nightingale nodded silently.

Luo Qingfeng cleared his mind and began to cultivate in a calm state.

However, the stellar energy in this place is pitifully scarce.

Half an hour later, he finally gave up.

A month of this kind of cultivation is not as efficient as the energy gained from killing a demon.

Luo Qingfeng finished his practice, thought for a moment, and then a thought struck him.

I wonder if the Thousand Illusions Disguise Technique can restore disfigured muscles and skin!

Thinking of this, he was immediately excited, closed his eyes again, and began to activate the star power within his body to try it out.

However, the result disappointed him.

The stellar energy activated by this technique needs to pass through and alter the meridians, acupoints, blood vessels, and muscles to change freely. In injured areas, these things are damaged, and the flowing stellar energy is blocked there, unable to pass through at all.

Therefore, it will not have any effect.

Luo Qingfeng sighed inwardly and decided to stop thinking about it.

You should focus on healing your injuries. Once you're healed, you can go out and slay demons.

If he kills one more demon, or two more, he should be able to advance again.

Although he might be ridiculed for being disfigured, once he gained power, who would dare to make him unhappy to his face? As for those who gossip behind his back, he didn't need to pay them any attention.

Once he becomes even stronger, those who like to gossip behind people's backs will probably stop talking.

Therefore, when others speak ill of you, it means that you are not strong enough.

When you are strong enough to frighten others, their tongues will only tremble, and they will stop gossiping.

After thinking for a moment, Luo Qingfeng decided to first cultivate the "Concealing Breath Technique" given to him by Senior Bai.

Soon, he entered a meditative state.

The nightingale sat at the entrance of the cave, bathed in the cool moonlight, her hair at her temples fluttering slightly in the night breeze, her gaze silently fixed on him.

After a while.

She left the cave and walked to the steep hillside beside it. Facing the cold, silent moonlight, she remained quiet for a while. Then, a flame flashed in her hand, and a crimson jade bow appeared.

Within that jade bow, flames seemed to flow.

At that moment, her long, black hair suddenly came loose, as if it had faintly turned the color of flames.

Her dark pupils also shimmered with a pale purple light.

She lowered her head, gently stroking the jade bow in her hand, muttering to herself, "No wonder...no wonder Yuan Tong and his people wouldn't let me go...I left my blood on the spirit tablet in the courtyard, someone probably already knows..."

"No wonder, no wonder Grandma always says..."

The volcano not far away suddenly erupted, spewing out even more fiery red lava.

Several dark figures flew out from inside.

The ground was trembling slightly.

The silver moon in the night sky also silently cracked open.

The nightingale put away her jade bow, restored it to its original state, and went into the cave.

Tang Wu woke up, her expression changing as she asked, "Is this alternate dimension going to collapse?"

The two stood at the cave entrance, looking around with solemn expressions.

Also, the tremors lasted for a while and then stopped.

The two looked up and saw that the silver moon in the night sky had disappeared, and a huge crack had appeared in the sky, like an open eye, eerily looking down at them.

"This alternate dimension is probably going to collapse soon, but we don't know where the exit is. We've searched for so long and haven't found it. Could it be in the sky?"

"That rift might be it. I remember we came in through some kind of spatial rift."

"It's so high, we can't get up there."

The two discussed something in hushed tones at the cave entrance.

Luo Qingfeng entered a meditative state. Although he sensed the commotion outside, he remained focused on the fact that the two were not alarmed.

The three of them stayed in the cave for about three days.

Tang Wu's injuries healed the fastest. Although the wounds were not completely healed, they were no longer painful, and her strength had long since returned.

So on this day, she decided to go out and find a way out.

"You all stay in the cave for now, I'll be back soon. There are demons everywhere outside, it's not safe to go out together, and if we get separated, that would be troublesome."

Tang Wu gave a few instructions, then left the cave and headed out of the valley.

Luo Qingfeng and Nightingale stayed in the cave to continue recuperating from their injuries.

The nightingale seemed to have a lot to say, but stopped whenever it was about to speak.

Luo Qingfeng assumed it was about his disfigurement, so he didn't ask any further questions.

He knew the girl felt guilty and wanted to make it up to him, but given their relationship, there was no need for compensation.

"If Sister Nightingale doesn't mind, shall we get married after we leave?"

He suddenly said that.

Since things have already come to this point, and he has long since let go of his inner turmoil, what is there left to hesitate about?

Upon hearing this, the nightingale remained silent for a long while before actually refusing.

Luo Qingfeng asked, puzzled, "Why?"

She's willing to give herself to him, so why isn't she willing to get married?

Nightingale didn't answer, but glanced at him again and said, "If you want to get married, I'll have A-Crow do it with you. Is that alright?"

Luo Qingfeng: "???"
