Chapter 1428 How to slip away?

“Cough!”

Luo Heng choked up and awakened. He had a bitter and fishy taste in his mouth. When he smacked his lips to taste it, he glimpsed what Chen Dao was doing from the corner of his eyes. He suddenly fell on his stomach and vomited.

“Blargh...”

“Hey, Senior Brother Luo, you took the earth-drilling dragon’s gallbladder, not a poison. It just doesn’t taste very good.” Feng Jiu grinned widely at Luo Heng who looked up for a glimpse then vomiting violently on the ground.

Some of the alchemists were watching from the side. Their gazes were fixed at Feng Jiu for a while, both with shame and curiosity at this young errand boy.

Throughout the whole journey, this young errand boy was more adaptable to this environment than they were. Compared with him, they were just like pampered sons of wealthy families who had not experienced pain and were incompatible with this forest.

However, this young errand boy was not the same. His strength was clearly at the Foundation Building level, yet he was bold and careful. When they retreated, he stepped forward. With this scene in mind, they could only treat him differently.

“Why am I covered in mud?” Luo Heng looked at Feng Jiu inquiringly. “I clearly remember to be dragged away by an icy-cold thing. After that, I lost consciousness.”

“It was an earth-drilling dragon that dragged you into the quicksand pond.” Feng Jiu pointed to the quicksand pond nearby and said with a smile, “It was Senior Brother Chen and me who helped you guys up.”

Hearing this, those people looked at each other and then stood up and cupped their fists to thank Chen Dao.

“Thank you so much, Senior Brother Chen.”

“Many thanks, Junior Brother Chen.”

However, they were unanimous in ignoring Feng Jiu. In their eyes, she’s just an errand boy. There was no need for them to thank her nor could she afford their gratitude.

When Feng Jiu saw those people not only not thanking her but also directly ignoring her, she only smiled and said nothing.

“Thank you, Feng Jiu. I’ll invite you for a drink when we go back.” Luo Heng reached forward to pat Feng Jiu’s shoulder, but unexpectedly, his muddy hand hit empty space.

“Senior Brother Luo, I’m still clean!” Feng Jiu stepped three steps back and smiled with her eyes squinted.

Luo Heng Leng for a moment and then smiled. “Alright, alright. I know my hand is muddy, so I won’t touch you.” He looked around. “We have to find a place to wash and change clothes! I feel so uncomfortable getting all muddy.”

“There’s a stream ahead. Come with me.” Chen Dao said, taking them along with him.

Feng Jiu walked leisurely behind them. She felt like slipping away. But, she knew that if she disappeared, even if others wouldn’t look for her, Chen Dao definitely would do so.

But if she told him directly that she wanted to go solo, what kind of excuse should be used? And even if she told him, he probably wouldn’t agree. After all, in his eyes, she was a Foundation Building cultivator.

“So troublesome!”

She sighed helplessly. She had no other option but to follow them. She only hoped that they would go directly to the deepest part. Perhaps there would be a chance to meet her mother.

“Feng Jiu, there’s a mountain spring here. Do you want to come over to bathe?”
