Chapter 2849 — Trapped Again
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Ha, I'm just teasing you." Wei Zhao placed the Five Fiends Dragon's claw in Yang Qiqi's hand and said with a smile, "Take it, it's yours. In future, don't always assume the worst of people!"
Yang Qiqi took the Five Fiends Dragon's claw Wei Zhao held out, and before she could stop herself, tears began to patter down.
"Why are you crying again? Didn't I say I was joking with you..." Wei Zhao looked at Yang Qiqi, her face streaked with tears like a pear blossom in the rain, and did not know what to say.
"It's not that..." Yang Qiqi shook her head and said, "Wei Zhao, you're a good man... I... I won't kill you anymore... But my heart already belongs to someone else. I'll repay you in some other way."
"Is this what they call a 'nice guy card'?" Wei Zhao laughed, unconcerned. "Well, a nice guy card it is, then."
"Thank you!" Yang Qiqi's tears gave way to a smile.
"How is this thing used?" Wei Zhao truly could not imagine how a Five Fiends Dragon's claw could cure an illness. "Do you just eat it as it is?"
"I don't know either. It took me a long time to find out, poring over a great many ancient texts, that the claw of the Five Fiends Dragon has its uses," Yang Qiqi said. "How to use it... I suppose you eat it?"
"All right, forget I asked," Wei Zhao said. "Let's get ready and head back to the safe zone. Zhao Qilei and the others are probably getting anxious waiting."
"Right... But how do we get back up?" Yang Qiqi looked up and saw how high the cliff face was; the height startled her—there was simply no way to jump up there.
"I came down here once before with someone else. We left marks on the cliff face over there where we climbed down. We just have to follow the marks and leap up," Wei Zhao said, pointing to a spot not far off.
"That's good." Yang Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, she truly would not have known how to get up. Her qinggong was good, but no matter how good, she could not leap that high!
Wei Zhao led Yang Qiqi to the place where he and Tian Chan had earlier leapt and climbed. Wei Zhao meant to try it first, so he sprang upward, leaping toward the first foothold Tian Chan had struck out.
"Hah!" Wei Zhao leapt up full of confidence—only to discover the problem the moment he was airborne: his jump did not reach as high as Tian Chan's! He did not even reach half of Tian Chan's height. It seemed this was the gap between an expert of the late Earth Rank and one at the peak of the late Heaven Rank!
