Chapter 2472 — A Fright for Everyone
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"He is all right. I gave him a Small Return Elixir. His injuries are all external; once they are under control, he will be fine." You Panhu answered Wei Zhao's question with surprising honesty. The earlier situation had frightened him badly; if not for Wei Zhao, it was hard to say whether any of them could have gotten out.
Moreover, Old Master You had instructed him before that Wei Zhao could even wound a Heaven-tier expert, so You Panhu was still very much in fear of him.
"Sister Xinyan, are you all right?" Han Jingyi looked Wang Xinyan up and down, somewhat surprised, for Wang Xinyan showed not the slightest trace of fright. It seemed there was some inside story here that she did not know.
"I am fine, quite well." Wang Xinyan smiled. She had indeed been the least frightened; from the beginning she had never seen that ghostly thing, and only woke up when it burrowed into Wei Zhao's jade pendant.
"Oh, that is good then." Han Jingyi nodded.
Only then did Kang Jinglong climb up from the ground. He glanced silently at Wei Zhao and Wang Xinyan, and immediately his face reddened with embarrassment.
It had been his idea to get out of the car and explore this place, and in the end they had run into a ghost—and he was the first to be so frightened that his legs went weak. Meanwhile Wei Zhao, whom he had always mocked, had rushed forward the instant Wang Xinyan was in trouble.
Who was strong and who was weak was plain at a glance. Kang Jinglong was consumed with shame and indignation, and now he made no sound at all, not daring to put on airs before Wei Zhao anymore!
The group walked silently toward the expedition vehicle, each understanding without saying a word, when suddenly a skull came flying through the air toward Kang Jinglong!
Kang Jinglong had just been scared out of his wits. Although Wei Zhao said he had frightened the ghost away, Kang Jinglong was still trembling and had not come back to himself. Now a skull suddenly flew at him, and it frightened him out of his soul; he let out a shrill, miserable scream: "Awooo..."
Wang Xinyan had been walking quietly at Wei Zhao's side with her head down. Suddenly hearing Kang Jinglong's scream, she was startled, and when she looked up she saw the skull flying through the air, and with a cry of "Ah!" she instinctively threw herself into Wei Zhao's arms...
Wei Zhao was not afraid. He was not even afraid of that ghostly thing that had surpassed the Heaven tier, so how could he fear a flying skull? But with a beauty in his arms, Wei Zhao was naturally glad to let nature take its course. He caught Wang Xinyan and said to her, "Do not be afraid. It is all right..."
"Meow..." A cat's cry broke the crowd's terror. When the skull came closer, Kang Jinglong finally saw clearly—where was this a flying skull, for heaven's sake? It was plainly a cat, with a skull somehow perched on its head!
Only, the cat was black, not especially clear in the dark night, and invisible from a distance. If one did not look carefully, one really would think it was a flying skull!
"My heavens! Scared me to death!" Kang Jinglong caught his breath and patted his chest.
You Panhu was somewhat speechless. If not for Kang Jinglong making a fuss over nothing, he would not have been frightened along with him.
As for Wang Xinyan, at that moment she was blushing and trying to struggle out of Wei Zhao's embrace, but Wei Zhao held her tightly, so that she struggled once and could not break free. Only then did she say, "Wei Zhao..."
"Ah, haha, sorry. I was frightened too, and could not help holding you tight!" Wei Zhao awkwardly released Wang Xinyan and said with a laugh.
