Chapter 569: Eating Tofu Seriously
Looking at the several tens of meters wide river, Ling Feng smiled and said, "I could get across, but I’m not sure what you’ll do!"
"How will you get across?"
Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment and then immediately asked.
"It’s simple, I’ve learned a stepping technique, don’t be fooled by the rapid current; it’s no match for me!" Ling Feng said.
"I don’t believe it!"
Zhou Yi curled his lip, feeling that he was bragging!
What kind of stepping technique is so powerful that it allows one to walk on water?
If he really could do that, wouldn’t that be Qinggong? How come I’ve never seen him show it off?
So Zhou Yi thought Ling Feng was talking nonsense, just messing with him!
But Ling Feng actually didn’t know if the stepping technique he learned from the God Slayer Saber Technique could really be used.
However, during his studies, he had indeed seen that, by utilizing the stepping technique, one could move lightly as a swallow, traversing places where walking was impossible.
Now, seeing Zhou Yi’s disdainful expression, his competitive spirit was instantly ignited, so he smiled and said, "Don’t believe it? Just watch me then!"
After speaking, he leaped up and jumped straight onto the river surface!
Zhou Yi didn’t even get the chance to shout, as Ling Feng was already several meters away.
As soon as Ling Feng’s feet touched the water, his heart sank!
Instinctively, he realized that his toes had to press down on something to stay above the water!
But what could possibly be on the water?
"Now I look foolish!"
Ling Feng was speechless, feeling water seeping into his shoes and that he was about to fall into the water!
Whether it was good luck or not, just then his toes suddenly touched something, and he quickly reacted, pushing off and soaring up into the air!
Afterward, he twisted his body in mid-air and whooshed back in front of Zhou Yi!
"How about that? Not bad, huh?" Ling Feng said with an unchanged expression, chuckling.
Zhou Yi was speechless, his eyes wide with astonishment, and without noticing anything beneath the water, he asked with a puzzled face, "Can it really be done?"
"Of course!"
Ling Feng chuckled inwardly, boastfully responding and then quickly changing the subject, "However, the river is quite wide, there are some obstacles, I must find something to use for leverage."
While speaking, he turned his head to look around and then saw a bush not far away. He stepped forward, broke off a few branches, and came back.
"With these, I can make it across. I’ll just throw the branches in front of me as I go, and I’ll be able to cross the river!"
Zhou Yi looked at him and then at the broken branches and immediately showed a helpless expression, "What about me?"
"You?"
Ling Feng thought for a moment, knowing that teleportation couldn’t be used carelessly in this kind of place, as it could lead to getting stuck. So, after some thought, it seemed that he would have to lend a hand himself and thus said, "Well, how about I carry you across?"
"Hm?"
Zhou Yi narrowed her eyes and looked at him seriously, "Is there no other way?"
"I can’t think of any. Hey, what’s with that look; you don’t think I’m trying to take advantage of you, do you?" Ling Feng asked with an innocent face.
"Hmph!!"
Zhou Yi rolled her eyes and turned away, not looking at him anymore.
At the same time, she pondered in her heart and realized she couldn’t think of a better solution either.
There were many trees around, making a wooden raft would be possible, but that would take too much time!
Moreover, the current is so rapid, if even the raft can’t make it across, then all that preparation would have been for nothing, wasting so much time for nothing.
It’s clearly no good to pull myself over with a rope, since I can’t stay still on the surface; I can only wade across. Although the current couldn’t possibly sweep me away, the thought of being soaked to the skin immediately made me dismiss the idea.
Thinking it over and finding no solution, Zhou Yi turned back and said, "Alright then, just carry me across on your back!"
Ling Feng rolled his eyes: "The way you say it, it’s as if carrying you is some great honor bestowed upon me!"
"Don’t deny it; you’re probably over the moon on the inside!" Zhou Yi gave him a cold glance.
"Hehe."
Ling Feng, caught off guard, couldn’t contain his excitement and flashed a sleazy smile!
Zhou Yi immediately flared up and glared at him fiercely: "I knew you were up to no good!"
"Can’t you be a little less petty? Even if I did take advantage of you, it’s not like I did it on purpose. We’re both martial artists; why sweat the small stuff?" Ling Feng said righteously.
"Pah!"
Zhou Yi spat at him, knowing full well that this was a nonsensical excuse, a pretext!
"Enough already, hurry up and get on, let’s not waste time here!"
Ling Feng smiled, turned around, and bent over slightly.
Looking at his broad back, Zhou Yi bit her lip and thought, well, there’s no helping it; for the mission, to leave this place sooner, I’ll have to endure it!
So she stepped forward, grabbed Ling Feng’s shoulders, and pressed her body against his back.
Feeling the soft body behind him, Ling Feng felt a thrill in his heart!
Zhou Yi felt the same way, sensing Ling Feng’s body heat and his distinct masculine scent; she also caught her breath!
But she soon became agitated because, to her disbelief, Ling Feng reached back and hoisted her buttocks upwards!
"What are you doing!"
In her urgency, Zhou Yi shouted out.
Unable to see her face behind him, Ling Feng had to reply, "I’m making sure you’re positioned securely; what if you fall off midway?"
"I appreciate your concern, but no thanks, let go of your paws!"
Feeling Ling Feng’s hand propping up her buttocks, the heat and touch from his palm made Zhou Yi feel both embarrassed and anxious; no man had ever touched her there before!
"If I let go, all your weight will press down on my back. In that case, it would work, and I could touch you even more closely," Ling Feng said with a laugh.
Hearing this, Zhou Yi quickly propped herself up on his shoulders, pushing her chest away, not daring to press against him anymore.
But that posture was out of the question. If they didn’t stay close, she risked leaning too far back and falling, especially since Ling Feng had to stand upright.
For a moment, the two were at an impasse.
After a short while, Ling Feng spoke up, "Look, can’t you just endure it for a moment? We’ll be across in no time. How long are we going to argue about this here?"
Hearing him say that, Zhou Yi knew she couldn’t dawdle any longer, so she clenched her teeth and said, "Fine, I’ll let you have this one!"
Ling Feng smiled, bent down to pick up a stick from the ground, and handed it back to her: "I need you to do one more thing. Help throw it into the water from behind, my hands are full here."
Zhou Yi was speechless, took a deep breath, and took the stick.
And so, she lay tightly against Ling Feng’s back, her buttocks supported by his hand, still needing to keep an eye on the water to predict where he would land.
Such an experience was truly unprecedented!
Zhou Yi thought to herself that once they got across, she would definitely make this guy swear an oath not to mention anything that happened here to anyone!
Even to consider it himself was out of the question!
As she was lost in her thoughts, Ling Feng suddenly called out, "Get ready, we’re crossing the river!"
After saying that, he leapt up and headed straight for the water!
