Chapter 423 Memories Regained
Chapter 423 Memories Regained
Lin Feng carried Xia Ning to sit on a rock by the stream, bent down, took off his shoes and socks, tucked his robe into his waistband, rolled up his trousers, and stepped into the stream.
The stream water was slightly cool, just covering my ankles.
He turned around and reached out his hand.
"Come on, give me your foot."
Xia Ning pursed her lips, said nothing, and obediently lifted her foot.
Lin Feng supported her heel with one hand and gently removed the mud-stained embroidered shoe with the other.
The shoe slipped down, revealing white stockings underneath, the soles of which were soaked with mud and water.
He hooked his fingertips around the top of the sock and carefully rolled it down.
Soon, the stockings were removed, and Xia Ning's feet were exposed to the air. A breeze blew by, and she subconsciously tucked her toes in.
Those were a pair of exceptionally beautiful feet.
She is petite and delicate, with fair and smooth skin, round and cute toes, and her nails are perfectly trimmed.
Even with a little dirt on the instep and between the toes, it couldn't hide the innate elegance of her feet.
Lin Feng watched for a moment without saying a word, then gently held her ankle and slowly placed her foot into the stream.
The cool stream water washed over his feet. He scooped up a handful of water and gently poured it over the muddy areas, carefully brushing his fingertips over every inch of his skin to wash away the mud little by little.
As Lin Feng moved, a tingling sensation spread from the soles of her feet, like tiny electric currents passing through her blood vessels and shooting straight up Xia Ning's spine.
She shuddered slightly, her toes involuntarily curling up, instinctively wanting to pull her foot back—
But Lin Feng gently pressed him down.
"Don't move, it'll be over soon."
He carefully washed her feet while gently kneading them, his fingertips precisely pressing acupoints.
Every kneading motion was just right, a pleasant soreness mixed with an indescribable comfort.
Xia Ning narrowed her eyes slightly, biting her lower lip tightly with her pearly teeth, trying her best to keep herself from making a sound.
Just then—
[Ding! Xia Ning's favorability towards the host has reached its maximum (100/100)!]
[Ding! Unlocked exclusive couple bond skill - Insight into Weaknesses!]
[As long as Xia Ning is within 100 meters of the host, the host can perceive the weaknesses of all enemies, regardless of their level, and see through them at a glance!]
This ability does not require active activation; it takes effect passively and cannot be interfered with or blocked.
Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat.
In the perilous world of supernatural tales, the weaknesses of the strange creatures are often hidden and hard to find. With this bond ability, no matter how powerful the strange creatures he encounters in the future, he will be able to see through their weaknesses at a glance.
Just like shattering that crystal today, it was a fatal blow, hitting the vital point directly.
He no longer needs to rely on deduction and trial and error, nor does he need to gamble with his life.
Xia Ning was his eyes, and the source of his confidence to break through the impasse.
Thinking of this, a warm feeling welled up in Lin Feng's heart.
For no apparent reason, he suddenly lowered his head and placed a gentle and devout kiss on the instep of her foot.
Xia Ning shuddered violently, her eyes widening suddenly: "You..."
Just as she was about to scold him, the next second—
Countless fragments of memories flooded into her mind like a burst dam.
For an instant.
She remembered everything.
The handsome, gentle, impulsive yet considerate man in front of her—was actually her husband all along!
They already have a daughter—Xiao Zhixia.
Xia Ning's eyes instantly reddened, and tears welled up in them.
She raised one hand, hooked it tightly around Lin Feng's neck, and pulled him towards her. Her voice was slightly choked with emotion, yet full of joy and dependence:
"husband……"
Lin Feng felt a warmth in his heart, reached out and hugged her tightly, then lowered his head and kissed her lips.
Xia Ning responded passionately, as if she wanted to make up for the time she had missed in the past few days with this kiss.
They kissed for a full three minutes before Xia Ning gently separated them, a thin strand of saliva still clinging to their lips.
Her cheeks flushed, a hint of shyness in her voice. She leaned close to Lin Feng's ear, her voice soft and sweet, tinged with bashfulness:
"Honey... perfect timing, Xiaozhixia's rice bowl is full and she's feeling a bit uncomfortable. Could you empty it for me?"
Lin Feng gently stroked her flushed cheeks with his fingertips, smiling indulgently: "With pleasure."
Before he finished speaking, he had already scooped Xia Ning up in his arms and carried her into the reeds by the stream...
Five minutes later.
Lin Feng, burping, carried Xia Ning as they emerged from the reeds.
After all, Xia Ning still has official duties to attend to, and now is not the time to talk about life.
Lin Feng quickly washed her shoes and socks, then bent down to put them on for her one by one.
Then he quickly put on his shoes and socks, picked up the bunch of wild chrysanthemums he had just picked, took Xia Ning's hand, and hurried briskly toward the Chengxin Fruit Grove.
As soon as I stepped into the woods, I heard a low murmur of conversation coming from ahead, tinged with apprehension and unease.
The two exchanged a glance and quickened their pace. In the distance, they saw a group of chosen ones gathered around a long table.
Two black-clad stewards stood before them, their expressions still serious.
It turns out that everyone in Lin Feng's group already knew about their method of chiseling at the vital points of the fruit trees to stop the fruit's transformation.
However, most groups did not choose the hammer and chisel set initially, and now they have to exchange tools if they want to solve the fruit tree problem.
The rules were already clear: the exchange of tools required the price of one of the chosen ones' arms.
After much deliberation, the chosen ones finally selected a slender young man by drawing lots.
At this moment, the man was pale, his hands were trembling slightly, and his eyes were filled with fear.
The Left Deacon said calmly, "The process is painless, there will be no bleeding, and there is no need to be afraid."
As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hand, a faint wisp of cold air gathering at her fingertips, and gently touched the man's right arm.
Instantly, the cold air spread, and the man's right arm was frozen at a visible speed, from his fingertips all the way to his shoulder.
The right deacon, wielding a gleaming short blade, moved with lightning speed, making a light slash at the base of the frozen arm—
There was no bloodshed, no piercing screams; the frozen arm was precisely severed, and a thin layer of icy mist condensed at the cut, locking in the blood.
The man felt a lightness in his arm. Looking down, he saw that his right arm was gone. He felt a faint numbness at the cut, but no pain.
The left deacon took out a box, gently placed the frozen arm into it, closed the lid, and then raised his hand, a wisp of gentle white light gathering at his fingertips, which he gently touched the man's cut.
A white light enveloped the incision, and the numbness gradually dissipated. A thin, light pink film quickly formed at the incision site, firmly protecting the wound.
"Alright, the wound has been treated properly and will heal naturally in a few days."
The man moved his left arm to make sure there was nothing wrong, then bowed slightly to the two deacons and returned to his group.
Lin Feng turned his head to look at the other side of the orchard, where he saw several Chosen Ones lying haphazardly under a few fruit trees.
Their faces were bluish-purple, their eyes wide open, and their expressions still showed signs of pain. Their bodies were covered with dense, red bite marks.
It was clearly bitten too many mosquitoes and had lost its vital signs.
