Chapter 113: Spiritual Origin Tree (1/2)
The trio continued advancing forward, and Yao Na pasted her face on Cheng Yu’s shoulder. She felt extremely comfortable, and she kept recalling to the scene of Cheng Yu showing her a tender expression. She felt that their teacher and student relationship kept on getting more indistinct. She kept on harboring the feelings of being together with Cheng Yu, causing her to feel at a loss of what to do. In the future, how was she going to handle their relationship?
After Yao Na had something to worry about, her mood changed. A faint trace of grief appeared on her face. However, Cheng Yu was not able to witness this happening.
When it came to finding medical herbs, especially those rare and valuable ones, they would need to cross several mountains normally. Yao Na leaned forward on Cheng Yu’s neck and said dearly, ”You have carried me for so long, Aren’t you tired? Why not put me down, I can walk there myself.”
“It’s fine. To be able to carry you, even if it’s for my whole life, I would not feel tired. Not to mention it’s just crossing a few mountains,” Cheng Yu turned his face around and smiled. Even though Cheng Yu’s age was younger than Yao Na’s, his height was very tall. Furthermore, Cheng Yu was a cultivator, so it was impossible for him to feel tired just by piggybacking a woman.
“Really?” Yao Na said passionately from behind, and she felt sweet, but conflicted.
“Of course. Can’t you see that I am not even sweating?”
Qiang Zi had long started to admire Cheng Yu as Qiang Zi was someone who stayed behind the mountain and would frequently ascend the mountains. Yet, even he would start panting after climbing a few mountains, but not only had Cheng Yu carried another person for so long, he did not even start panting and was even running as fast as flying!
If it was not because he had witnessed before how mystical Cheng Yu was, Qiang Zi would really think that Cheng Yu was not a human. However, Qiang Zi still thought of Cheng Yu as a deity.
“Mr. Cheng is truly the most mystical man I have ever seen. If you weren’t Xiao Na’s boyfriend, I would really consider you a deity,” Qiang Zi laughed.
“Haha! Uncle Qiang Zi, how long before we arrive?”
“After climbing past this mountain, we will arrive. The cliff is on the other side of this mountain.”
After another 30 minutes, the trio finally reached the top of the mountain. They looked down and saw that below the cliff was covered by layers of clouds. They basically could not see anything beyond a certain distance.
“I am not sure what the height of this mountain is. At that time, I saw there were a few bunches of lingzhi below, so I jumped down courageously. Over here, we will still be able to climb back up. However, after climbing down about 100 meters, the cliff becomes extremely steep, but there should be a lot of rare and precious medical herbs. The two stems of ginseng we are looking for is around 80 meters down,” Qiang Zi said while he put the necessary items down. He took out a thick rope and was prepared to tie it to the big tree at the side.
“Uncle Qiang Zi, there is no need for you to go down. I will go down personally to have a look. The two of you wait here. There is no need to worry about me,” After Cheng Yu spoke, he gave Yao Na a reassuring look. While they were still startled, Cheng Yu had already jumped down the cliff.
They were alarmed as they quickly ran over to look. They only saw a light flash in the layers of cloud and could no longer find Cheng Yu’s shadow.
“This…Xiao Na, what kind of person is your boyfriend? This is too mystical. Could he really be a deity?” Since Cheng Yu had already told them to not worry about him, then Cheng Yu would not face any difficulties.
At this moment, Yao Na was in a panicked state. Just now, when Cheng Yu had jumped down so suddenly, if he had not said not to worry about him, Yao Na would really be frightened to death by him.
“I am also not sure. I only know that he possesses lots of mystical abilities,” After Yao Na returned to her normal state of mind, she replied to Qiang Zi. With regards to Cheng Yu’s identity, Yao Na was also extremely curious. However, when she asked him about it previously, Cheng Yu did not tell her anything.
“Xiao Na, no matter what kind of person he is, one thing for sure is that he isn’t someone normal. You must definitely treasure him. This is something not only beneficial to you and your family, but also to our whole village,” Qiang Zi said ruefully. Today, Qiang Zi was startled several times by Cheng Yu’s mystical abilities.
“Er. Ok,” When Yao Na heard Uncle Qiang Zi had also talked about this issue, Yao Na felt awkward about it. However, one thing she had to admit was that after Cheng Yu had appeared. He had brought a lot of benefits to everyone here.
