The next morning, Belle woke up to the cheerful chirping of birds. She looked around and realized that the familiar figure had disappeared. Looking at the cold roasted meat placed beside her, Belle revealed a bitter smile. It turned out that the piece of meat he had roasted last night was not his supper, but his breakfast. She slowly stood up and almost recovered from yesterday's injuries overnight. She picked up the roasted meat on the ground and wrapped it in the leaves. Then, she slowly walked out of the forest. She had already lost that figure, and she did not want to stay in the place of her memories and feel sad.
When Long Fan left, the sky was not completely lit up. When Belle left, he had already appeared a few miles away in another direction. "Sigh! It's a new day, all the best!" Long Fan encouraged himself as he faced the morning glow. At the same time, he urged his body to run like a sharp sword with the power of true qi. A moment later, Long Fan suddenly retracted his true energy and ran forward slowly. Feeling the familiar atmosphere, Long Fan couldn't help but miss the scene of his morning run on Earth. Although he no longer needed to train his body after cultivating true qi, he still couldn't help but run.
After running for more than two hours, Long Fan's forehead was slightly sweaty. This made him sigh with emotion at the benefits of cultivation. If it was in normal times, such a phenomenon would be unimaginable. Long Fan, who was gently wiping his sweat, suddenly realized that there were people running in the morning in this plane. His gaze fell on a figure running slowly in the distance. As if he had met a confidant, Long Fan laughed loudly and chased after him. The figure seemed to be a little tired. Long Fan caught up to him in a moment.
"It's rare to see an old man! You're still exercising at such an old age. No wonder you're still so strong.”Looking at the old man who was sweating profusely and still did not forget to run forward, Long Fan smiled and struck up a conversation with him.
"Young man…you... What are you talking about? you... It was better to run forward, run... If you run slow, you won't be able to live." The old man panted as he spoke to Long Fan. His body seemed to have reached its limit.
"Old man, you…" Long Fan suddenly stopped what he was about to say. He frowned slightly and looked at the army chasing behind him. Long Fan immediately understood what was going on. At first, he saw the old man alone and did not think in that direction. It was likely that the old man's body could not take it and had left the crowd. Long Fan could not help but sigh. This was human nature! At the critical moment, he only cared about himself. Long Fan seemed to have predicted the old man's fate.
A moment later, a soldier riding a horse ran over and looked at Long Fan with some doubt. Then, he scolded the old man,"Old man, are you alright?"”
"Long... Sir, I... He could still…Run!" The old man seemed to be trying his best to explain something. What surprised Long Fan was that the soldier actually responded and rode back. This made Long Fan a little puzzled. He originally thought that the soldiers were here to reap the old man's life.
"Since the old man is magnanimous, let's rest for a while before running!”Long Fan suggested as he looked at the old man who was clearly unable to take it.
"Duke... Young Master, you don't understand! This was…This was…Their game. They were betting on how long I could last. If I stop, their game is over! Although the old man didn't say it explicitly, Long Fan understood what he meant.
"Creak!" Long Fan's eyes immediately shot out flames of anger, and the fists in his hands were clenched so tightly that they made cracking sounds. "These bastards!"
"It counts... Forget it, young man, you should run! Don't attract their attention and become their next target.”The old man said to Long Fan. He seemed to already know his ending. He did not want Long Fan to repeat his tragedy. After saying that, he continued to run for his life. Long Fan was suddenly touched, not because of the old man's kindness. It was because of his spirit of never giving up that Long Fan suddenly felt a little ashamed in front of him. "Plop!" Although he tried his best, his body was unable to support the old man and he fell to the ground. He quietly closed his eyes and waited for death to descend. A tear still fell uncontrollably. Suddenly, a pair of hands helped him up from the ground. Then, he was carried by Long Fan and continued running. "You…?" The old man looked at Long Fan in shock, but he did not know what to say. Long Fan gave him a knowing smile. Everything was said without a word.
"Damn it! What was going on? I've already won. Go kill that old thing for me.”An officer on horseback said to the soldiers beside him.
"Wait!" A man who looked like an officer stopped the soldier.
"What, are you trying to cheat?!"
"We only bet that it would be over if he stopped. We didn't say that we couldn't help!”The officer argued. Obviously, the old man had not arrived at the time he said.
"This... This was unfair! Then I'll have to do it all over again." The first officer was obviously not willing to suffer a loss.
"Good! No problem." Just as they were talking, the bet began again.
"Young man, can you still hold on? If you can't do it, then let me go. Don't drag you down in the end.”After a while, the old man was no longer panting as he spoke.
"Old man, just put your heart in your stomach! I don't have any other abilities, but I'm especially good at running. To tell you the truth, I used to run with a weight of 100 pounds on my back.”Long Fan laughed softly and then quickened his pace. "Yes... Is that so?" Looking at Long Fan's thin body, the old man found it hard to believe.
However, on the way, Long Fan finally showed the old man what it meant to be able to run. Then, under the shocked gazes of the two officers behind him, Long Fan kept running. After running for more than two hours, Long Fan actually caught up with the people in front of him. Seeing their leisurely pace, Long Fan could not help but be secretly angry. They weren't running for their lives. They were simply taking a stroll. Long Fan knew that they must have understood the game between soldiers. Perhaps when the troops caught up, they would let go of another person to play with them. What a cruel person! He actually used other people's lives to satisfy his own selfish desires.
Long Fan sneered and overtook them with the old man under everyone's surprised gazes. Sure enough, a moment later, an officer roared,""You bunch of trash, run! I'll kill whoever can't outrun the person in front of me.”The officer cursed angrily. He was just threatening. He was afraid that he would not be able to continue the game if he lost Long Fan. Hearing the officer's roar, everyone immediately chased after Long Fan. However, no matter how hard they tried, they kept their distance. Finally, after two hours, the people at the back could no longer hold on, but Long Fan did not have the slightest intention of slowing down.
"Duke... Young Master! Beg... Please, don't run anymore. I... We really can't do it anymore!" Looking at the vicious officer behind him, the people behind him could not help but beg Long Fan. Long Fan's body that was moving forward could not help but stop and look behind him. Pairs of tired and pleading eyes fell into his eyes. Long Fan's heart softened. He only wanted to punish them. After all, they did not deserve death. Hence, Long Fan ran on the spot, and everyone quickly overtook him.
As everyone passed by, Long Fan finally began to run slowly. Seeing that the troops had finally slowed down, the officer at the back could not help but wipe his sweat. The funny thing was that his horse was also panting heavily. The soldiers looked at Long Fan as if he was their savior. After all, not every soldier had a mount. The following days passed by in a series of pauses. Finally, at dusk, an officer couldn't hold it in anymore."F * cking tell them to stop. Don't run anymore and rest on the spot! Whoever dares to run again, I'll kill him.”Damn it, which brat must be a monster? I didn't even put in so much effort to chase after the deserters of the Huaining Empire! The officer couldn't help but announce that they were going to rest four hours in advance. If they continued to run, they would die. Upon hearing the officer's order, everyone fell to the ground, not wanting to move anymore. Long Fan put down the old man and looked at the sighing crowd with a light smile.
"You... Go and call that brat over!”The officer kicked a soldier beside him and asked him to call Long Fan over. The soldier finally stood up after a long time and staggered towards Long Fan.
"Duke... Young Master, thank you so much for today.”The old man looked at Long Fan with a godlike expression. He had yet to wake up from what had happened during the day. There was actually someone who could run non-stop for an entire day. This was too good at running! Long Fan chuckled. Before he could answer, he was attracted by the soldiers walking over. Long Fan's smile disappeared as he waited for the soldier's reaction.
"Duke... Young Master, the commander invites you over!”He did not dare to be negligent with Long Fan because Long Fan could very likely decide his fate tomorrow. His respectful attitude at the moment was because he hoped that Long Fan would be able to raise his " foot " tomorrow. Looking at his terrified expression, Long Fan chuckled and followed him. After taking a few steps, he turned around and looked at the people panting on the ground.
"You've already fallen to this state and still don't know how to be united. If you don't help yourself, no one can help you. Giving others a way out was giving oneself a way out. I hope you can understand this principle!”Long Fan sighed and left with the soldiers.
"Good boy! You're really capable! I've run my entire life today. Now, go fetch water for me. You've made me so tired. If you don't serve me well, I'll teach you a lesson.”The officer said fiercely and fell back to the ground. Long Fan was slightly stunned before he left with a bitter smile. He didn't want to complicate matters, so he decided to take a step back!
"You can continue running tomorrow! I'm going back tomorrow. I won't play with you anymore!”The officer said to the officer beside him with a depressed expression.
"Do you think I'm an idiot? I've covered half of tomorrow's journey today. I'll relax tomorrow. Sigh! This assassin has finally been caught. I don't have to worry anymore.”
"Haha! Yes, but it was a pity. I heard that she was a rare beauty. It was such a waste to die just like that!”
"Who asked her to not know how to appreciate favors? It was her fortune that the Fourth Prince had taken a fancy to her. Who could she blame for being cheap?”
..............
"Clang!" The basin in Long Fan's hand fell to the ground, and the water in the basin fell on the officer below. Ignoring the officer's roar, Long Fan's mind was already blank.
"Tell me clearly how you're going to repay me. If you don't tell me clearly, you're not allowed to leave!”
"My name is Belle. Remember, I'm not as light as you!”
"Surnamed Luo, speak clearly. How is this lady not a beauty?”
"Forgetting each other in Jianghu"
...................
Raising his hand slightly, Long Fan caught the whip from the officer. Her eyes were tightly shut, and a teardrop fell on her tender face. A moment later, his tightly shut eyes slowly opened, and a scarlet light made the officer's heart turn cold. "Say what you just said again!”The cold voice was emotionless, as if it was a demon from hell.
