Chapter 689: An Unexpected Incident
Chapter 689: An Unexpected Incident
The next day.
Feng Ye opened his eyes and woke up.
As soon as he woke up, he felt a soft breath on his face, and something slightly heavier than a blanket was pressing down on him.
Looking up, he saw Wendy stretching her limbs and sleeping soundly on top of him. It was rare for the well-behaved loli to have a restless night.
Feng Ye couldn't help but chuckle.
He slowly sat up, and Wendy shifted to hang on him, looking like a delicate porcelain doll with a slightly furrowed brow. Slowly, she opened her eyes.
She blinked sleepily, looking a little dazed, and then felt a hand pinching her cheek and rubbing it gently. Her eyes met with Feng Ye's gentle smile.
"Did you have a nice dream last night?"
"Ah..."
Wendy gradually realized what had happened and, feeling flustered, took a step back. But as she did so, she tripped over the blanket and fell back onto it with a soft cry.
Since she had fallen onto the blanket, it didn't hurt, and she blushed slightly, lowering her head and murmuring, "I... I dreamt of Grandini, and I dreamt that I turned into a dragon and flew in the sky with it."
"No wonder."
Feng Ye burst into laughter. "So that's why you were sleeping with your arms and legs spread out like a soaring eagle."
After patting Wendy's head gently, he stood up and stepped out of the tent. Outside, he saw that Erza had already woken up, while Juvia seemed to still be asleep in the tent.
"Good morning."
Erza, who was doing her morning exercises, greeted Feng Ye with a gentle smile.
Feng Ye smiled and waved back. Since he had nothing better to do, he decided to join Erza in her morning routine.
...
An hour later.
After finishing their morning exercises, Feng Ye casually cast a 'Cleaning Spell' on Erza to remove any dirt or stains on her body. They then used a dressing spell to change into fresh clothes.
By then, Juvia had also woken up. Considering the girls' physical development, Feng Ye decided to create some milk for their breakfast, even though they were in the wilderness.
Instead of using space magic to retrieve milk from a distant place, he directly used 'Matter Conversion Magic' to transform water into milk.
Erza, who owed a debt of one hundred million jewels, was amazed by Feng Ye's ability to produce milk with magic. She quickly imagined the money-making potential of this magic and eagerly asked Feng Ye about the specifics of the spell, curious about how he could produce milk.
Unfortunately.
This was a spell she wouldn't be able to learn.
Matter Conversion Magic, in the strictest sense, was not a spell that humans could master. It was a super-large magic array system similar to the R-System used for resurrection spells. Mastering it with the human body was extremely difficult.
Of course, when Erza grew up, she might be able to use other methods to produce milk, but she wouldn't be able to use this particular method to make a profit. She could only feel regret about that.
After breakfast.
Feng Ye set off again with the three girls in tow.
It took the group about half a day to cross the canyon and reach the other side, where the forest became a little sparser.
This area was no longer completely desolate, and there were faint signs of human activity. In the distance, they could see a human village not far from the woods.
Wendy stayed by Feng Ye's side, while Erza and Juvia followed on either side behind them.
"Yaaahhhh!!!"
Suddenly, Wendy let out a piercing scream.
Both Erza and Juvia turned to look at her, and even Feng Ye looked back. They saw Wendy with a terrified expression, her entire body stiff and trembling. Her large eyes were filled with panic and confusion.
Looking closely, they noticed that there was a caterpillar on the left side of her cheek, apparently having fallen from a tree above. It was an unfortunate coincidence that it had landed on her cheek, leaving her too scared to reach up and brush it off.
Her hair stood on end, giving her a startled appearance.
"...”
Feng Ye couldn’t help but chuckle. He took a step forward and, lifting a finger, gently flicked the caterpillar off Wendy’s cheek.
This action caused Wendy to let out another startled scream.
Noticing a few remaining caterpillar hairs on her cheek, Feng Ye bent down and leaned closer to her. He gently blew a puff of air onto her cheek, causing the stray hairs to wrap around the current and float away.
After performing this action, Feng Ye straightened up, intending to reassure Wendy that everything was fine now.
But.
Just then, a gust of wind blew from behind them, accompanied by a loud shout.
"Yahhh!!!"
Bang!
A slender leg appeared, kicking out in a flying side kick that landed on Feng Ye's shoulder. The attacker tried to knock Feng Ye off balance, but they couldn't move him.
The kick had no effect, and the assailant didn't pause. After flipping in the air, they immediately grabbed Wendy and quickly backed up a few meters.
It was a white-haired girl who looked about the same age as Erza. She had a dominant presence about her.
"Don't be scared, big sister will protect you!"
The girl patted Wendy's head and glared at Feng Ye, asking, "Hey, what were you trying to do to her?!"
This sudden turn of events left Erza and Juvia stunned for a moment. Juvia quickly recovered and glared angrily at the newcomer, her small fists clenched as she demanded,
"Who are you, daring to attack Master Feng Ye?!"
"...”
Erza, on the other hand, had realized something. She loosened her grip on her sword's hilt and, addressing the girl with an open palm, said, "I think you've misunderstood something. He was just helping Wendy get rid of the caterpillar."
Apparently, Wendy's scream and Feng Ye's actions had led the white-haired girl, who had been nearby, to assume that Feng Ye was up to no good. So, she had intervened to save Wendy.
The girl looked at Erza and Juvia and said, "Ah, so there are two accomplices. You must be those kidnappers I've heard about. Don't think you can fool me!"
"Big sister!"
"What's going on here?!"
Just then, voices called out from a short distance away, and two more figures with white hair came running over. One was a boy of about twelve years old, and the other was a white-haired girl who looked about the same age as Juvia.
They quickly reached the side of the girl who had rescued Wendy and stood on either side of her, facing off against Feng Ye, Erza, and the others.
