Chapter 176: Pretty Boy Ling Feng?
"Godfather, Uncle Lei!"
A cheerful and clear voice rang out, as melodious as an oriole. Ling Feng followed the sound and saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl hurrying towards Blood Python.
This little girl was dressed in a light yellow linen garment, with fair skin and an oval face, making her quite pretty. Her cheeks still retained a hint of baby fat, and her bright eyes were curved into crescent moon shapes. She exuded an innocent and cheerful atmosphere that seemed to refresh the people around her.
However, outside of her rosy cheeks, there was a slight paleness on her face, and her body appeared somewhat frail and thin, indicating that she had likely been deprived of proper nutrition due to the environment she was in for a long period of time.
These rugged men, who made a living by killing, had no idea how to take care of others. They could only afford to eat when they were hungry, and considering their circumstances, worrying about nutrition was out of the question. Just being able to keep oneself alive was already considered fortunate.
"Hehe." Blood Python looked at the little girl rushing over and affectionately patted the back of her head. "Xiao Li, sorry to keep you waiting for so long."
The reason why Blood Python was able to reform and turn away from evil was precisely because of this girl he found in the wild. She was like a little angel, cleansing away all the cruelty and violence from his heart.
"I didn’t wait for too long." The girl named Xiao Li pouted, obviously not very fond of Blood Python patting her head. "Godfather, if you keep patting me on the head, I won't be able to grow taller!"
Suddenly, the two tall guards standing behind Xiao Li respectfully called out, "Blood! Lei!"
Blood Python nodded and said lightly, "Lone Wolf, Night Owl, let me introduce you. These two are our new team members, Ling Feng and Hu Sandao."
Ling Feng glanced at the two middle-aged men. Both of them were at the later stage of the Pulse Formation Realm, which was quite impressive for independent cultivators.
In addition, Ling Feng saw two more men behind them, whose strength was probably around the fifth or sixth level of the Pulse Formation Realm. There was also a slightly older female swordsman with an average appearance with them. Although her looks were ordinary, her figure was quite voluptuous. She stood coldly on the side, exuding an icy beauty.
"This is the entrance to the Sea-Blue Abyss," Blood Python said solemnly, "The Sea-Blue Abyss is full of dangers, including some mind-bewildering toxins. Everyone, remember to keep a piece of Detoxifying Herb in your mouth."
"Here, pretty boy, take this!" Xiao Li took out a piece of green herb from her backpack and handed it to Ling Feng. "This is a piece of Detoxifying Herb. Remember to just keep it in your mouth, and don't swallow it."
Ling Feng pursed his lips. The Detoxifying Herb Xiao Li gave him was a common herb specifically used to ward off miasma.
As a physician, sometimes he also needed to enter deep forests infested with poisonous miasma to collect herbs, so Ling Feng wouldn't be unfamiliar with this kind of herb.
However, Ling Feng had tasted countless herbs since childhood. Although he wouldn't dare claim immunity to all poisons, a mere poisonous miasma naturally couldn't harm him.
With a faint smile, Ling Feng placed the Detoxifying Herb in his mouth and nodded slightly towards Xiao Li, saying, "Thank you, Miss Xiao Li."
"Hmph!" Xiao Li gave Ling Feng a disdainful look, clearly harboring deep prejudice against him.
She wasn't targeting Ling Feng personally. In fact, she harbored a strong dislike for any member of prominent families. She had seen too many of them who looked down on hunters like them, considering them inferior beings.
So, even though Ling Feng seemed polite for now, she still felt that he was just being hypocritical, just like those from prominent families. He was definitely looking down on them.
Blood Python watched all of this unfold, shaking his head with a sigh. He gently patted Ling Feng on the shoulder and said softly, "Ling Feng, my daughter is still young and inexperienced. I hope you don't mind her ignorance."
"Not at all." Ling Feng nodded slightly at Blood Python. "Meeting you is fate. I believe that as time goes on, true intentions will become clear."
"Haha, good!" Blood Python laughed heartily. "Just for that remark, you've earned my friendship. Consider me your friend, Ling Feng!"
