Ling Feng was not a man who could see through everything.
Therefore, he fell into a dilemma.
Was what he did to Tang Ru correct?
If he didn't, she would die!
If he did, how would he face her in the future?
This was a responsibility!
Then what about Hua Yu Xiao?
If he didn't, he couldn't become a shaman, and the clues for his investigation would be completely cut off!
Most importantly, he had to save Hua Yu Xiao! If they didn't have intercourse, she would die!
...
The tug-of-war in his thoughts made him feel more exhausted than fighting a tough battle!
Riiip!
A piece of red from the bedsheet was torn off by Ling Feng.
He didn't know why he kept it, but he just did.
Following that, he walked out in a daze.
When he came to his senses, he was already on a mountaintop.
Looking down, he realized he had reached the ridge where the Su family resided, and then he simply sat down.
The stars shifted!
In the blink of an eye, it was already late at night!
He had actually sat here for a whole day?
"Cough cough!"
A cough came from behind him, but Ling Feng ignored it!
It was precisely because he sensed someone behind him that he suddenly woke up.
However, his mind was still a mess.
He never expected that he, who was decisive in battle, would ever reach this point!
Ling Feng gave a self-mocking smile.
Perhaps, he should thank the person who came!
"Elder Hua."
Ling Feng spoke softly, his voice calm.
Hua Pu Ti was startled, not expecting to be recognized just by a cough.
When Hua Pu Ti returned from outside, he saw Ling Feng ascending the mountain.
Ling Feng's eyes were vacant, very different from his usual self.
Hua Pu Ti was already puzzled at the time, so he observed from the shadows.
He didn't expect Ling Feng to sit there for so long.
Through Ling Feng's various behaviors, Hua Pu Ti confirmed one thing.
Ling Feng was troubled by love.
As the saying goes, heroes cannot pass the test of beauty; it seemed Ling Feng was no exception.
After a moment of silence, Hua Pu Ti slowly said, "Heh heh, Ling Feng, you've been sitting here for a day."
"Yes, I know."
Ling Feng's tone remained calm.
"Everyone is very worried about you, but I didn't tell them you were here."
"Mm."
"That... Tang Ru girl, is she?"
Hua Pu Ti approached Ling Feng and said tentatively.
"She's returned to Hanjiang."
Ling Feng replied, his eyes flickering slightly, then he added, "She's safe."
"Oh, it's good that she's safe. Heh heh, actually, this old man knows that Hua Yu Xiao's matter has put you in a difficult position."
Hua Pu Ti continued.
Ling Feng was not a man who coveted beauty. Hua Pu Ti's only worry now was that Ling Feng would suddenly decide not to save Hua Yu Xiao.
This absolutely would not do!
This was his granddaughter's only hope of survival!
However, upon hearing this, Ling Feng gave no response, not even a change in expression.
Hua Pu Ti shook his head helplessly, sighed, and after a long while, said, "Actually, transferring the Ice Silkworm Gu does not necessarily require Yin and Yang intercourse!"
Ling Feng's eyes lit up instantly, and he immediately pressed, "Elder Hua, please enlighten me!"
Hua Pu Ti shook his head with a wry smile. It seemed Ling Feng truly didn't fancy his granddaughter!
The number one beauty of Nanyun couldn't even move Ling Feng?
What kind of man was this?
Hua Pu Ti shook his head, his expression becoming solemn.
"Blood transfer Gu! It means the two of you will use bloodline connection to transfer the Ice Silkworm Gu to you, but..."
At the crucial moment, Hua Pu Ti stopped again.
"But what?"
Ling Feng pressed.
"This method still requires the two of you to be naked. The Ice Silkworm Gu is extremely sensitive to its surroundings. Any slight covering with clothing will cause the Ice Silkworm Gu to curl back into the host's body!"
Ling Feng frowned slightly upon hearing this!
Naked?
For Ling Feng, this was no different from having relations with Hua Yu Xiao.
After all, it concerned Hua Yu Xiao's reputation.
If he saw Hua Yu Xiao naked, could he shirk responsibility?
Moreover, having just developed a relationship beyond ordinary friends with Tang Ru, Ling Feng carried an additional burden on his shoulders.
Doing this would make him feel like he had let Tang Ru down.
"Not even a piece of clothing can be worn?"
Ling Feng confirmed repeatedly.
Hua Pu Ti shook his head with a wry smile, "No!"
He then added, "Moreover, this method places a great burden on Yu Xiao's body. Afterward, she may lose too much blood and be weak for quite some time!"
"Mm."
Ling Feng nodded with a solemn expression.
"Furthermore, Ling Feng, the pain you will endure is hundreds or thousands of times that of Yu Xiao! Because this method is not successful in one transfer. Initially, it requires one transfer per day, and later, once every few days. During this process, the Ice Silkworm Gu will bring you the pain of ten thousand Gu devouring the heart. I fear you may not be able to bear it..."
Before Hua Pu Ti could finish, Ling Feng interrupted coldly, "I can bear it!"
His eyes were incredibly firm!
Hua Pu Ti was taken aback and couldn't quite understand Ling Feng's relieved expression.
"Elder Hua, I've already thought of a way! I will keep my eyes closed the entire time, ensuring that Hua Yu Xiao's reputation is not harmed! Elder Hua, do you trust me?"
Hua Pu Ti's heart jolted upon hearing this, but he could only respond with a bitter smile, "Heh heh, I trust you."
Despite saying this, he muttered softly, "Harm her reputation? If you don't open your eyes to take a look, that would be the real insult to my granddaughter! Even the number one beauty of Nanyun can't make you... alas..."
Hua Pu Ti smiled bitterly and turned to go down the mountain on his own!
Ling Feng naturally heard Hua Pu Ti's muttering clearly.
However, he felt this was the only way to have the best of both worlds!
Next, it depended on Hua Yu Xiao's attitude.
After all, she was a girl, and she might not agree!
...
The next morning, in Hua Yu Xiao's office.
"Good! Mr. Ling, I agree to your method."
Ling Feng looked at Hua Yu Xiao, whose face was slightly flushed but her expression resolute, and felt a stir within him.
He saw a strong will to survive in Hua Yu Xiao's beautiful eyes!
Yes!
She was only twenty-six years old, how could she be willing to die like this?
But making this choice must not have been easy for her.
At the same time, Ling Feng also felt Hua Yu Xiao's trust in him!
Hua Pu Ti sat beside Ling Feng. Seeing his granddaughter agree, he shook his head with a wry smile.
To save his granddaughter's life, Hua Pu Ti had truly racked his brains.
He also felt a hint of guilt!
"Perhaps, if Yu Xiao had met Ling Feng a little earlier, this excellent son-in-law would have been from our Hua family..."
