For example, those who were born fat were different from those who gained weight through eating. Those who were fat from childhood had higher instep and thicker ankles because they were heavier from childhood. Those who gained weight through eating would be fat all over, but their ankles would show that they had lost weight before.
Du Feng had made such a mistake. Because he had the Nine Turns Golden Dragon Body to protect himself, he didn't need to wear boots or leg guards to protect his lower limbs. Therefore, he didn't pay much attention to it. He casually wore a pair of cloth shoes and a pair of coarse cloth trousers, thinking that he looked more like a poor warrior. He didn't expect that his ankle bone exposed while walking would expose his identity.
"Alas, don't mention it. Back then, Big Brother Hong was an elegant and talented person. Unfortunately, in order to save a woman … "
Du Feng's reaction was really fast. He immediately made up a story. Instead, he said it so vividly that it was as if it was real. The general meaning was that he was very handsome, but he was poisoned by a toad in order to save a woman he had never met on the mainland. Although he wasn't poisoned to death, there were sequelae and he became what he was now.
"That sister must be very beautiful!"
Qing 'er believed it and thought that Du Feng was a good man. He was poisoned to save a woman he had never met and ruined his good appearance. Moreover, he still had such a good attitude. He must be a good man.
"Ahem, she is indeed beautiful. What a pity …"
Du Feng pretended to be embarrassed and coughed a few times. His acting made Young Man believe the story he made up. If it was said that a male martial artist would save another person for no reason, this kind of thing was not likely to happen. But if it was a beautiful woman who was saved, things would be different.
"What's the pity? She won't run away, will she?"
Hearing this, Young Man was also curious, so she craned her neck and asked Du Feng.
"Alas, it's not her fault. I'm not good at it."
Du Feng sighed and continued to make up a story. In short, the beautiful woman was saved and he was poisoned. However, the beautiful woman was afraid of being attacked by the toad again, so she left him and ran away. At this point, he still looked as if he wanted to continue. It felt like even though he was abandoned by a beauty, he still couldn't forget her.
"Hehehe … Brother Hong is really infatuated."
Hearing Du Feng's story, Qing 'er giggled happily. Thinking about it, this story was quite romantic. A handsome young martial artist was poisoned in order to save a woman he had never met before. It would have been fine if she had died, but she was not dead and her face was disfigured.
Generally speaking, the aftereffects caused by this kind of strange poison could last for a lifetime and would never be eliminated. Only when one ascended to the Heaven Realm and passed through the Heaven Gate and underwent the baptism of the Celestial Artifact would it be possible to eliminate it.
"Since ancient times, too much love has only resulted in hatred. This hatred will never end. Perhaps one day, I will regret it."
At this point, Du Feng even stroked his brandy nose, as if he was distressed by the passing of his beauty.
"You hate her because you still care about her."
Qing 'er had been completely infatuated by Du Feng's infatuation. It didn't matter even if he was disfigured because of the poison. Du Feng said in his heart, "Brother Hong, I'm sorry. I fooled a little girl with your appearance." However, Hong Waner's image was really terrible. He could only make up a story of being poisoned and disfigured to get away with it.
Seeing Qing 'er chatting so passionately with Du Feng, Young Man, who was walking at the end of the line, was a little jealous. However, he was too embarrassed to fall out with her, so he could only lower his head and sulk. Both of them grew up in Moonlake City and could be said to be childhood sweethearts. Actually, Du Feng could see that Young Man must have a crush on Qing 'er. Otherwise, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to go to such a dangerous position at the end of the line. To put it bluntly, she was helping Qing 'er's father.
"Uh … Let's not talk about this first."
If they continued chatting like this, Du Feng wouldn't be able to make up a new story. Fortunately, they were about to enter the level-eight demonic beast zone. Everyone cheered up. Especially Old Zhong, who was leading the team, and Young Man. They had to pay attention to whether they would be attacked by demonic beasts at all times.
The advantage of entering the primeval forest in groups was that they could take care of each other. However, there was also a disadvantage, which was that they would be a big target and would easily attract the attention of demonic beasts. Generally, there would be more than one or two demonic beasts that dared to attack a team of martial artists.
"Hiss, hiss …"
As they were walking forward, they heard hissing sounds coming from all directions.
"Oh, there are snakes. I'm most afraid of snakes."
Qing 'er looked up and happened to see a venomous snake coiled on a branch. She was so scared that she grasped the back of Du Feng's clothes tightly. This was a subconscious action of a girl. She wanted to grab something when she was afraid. Her grab made Du Feng a little embarrassed, because Young Man, who was at the end of the line, was jealous again.
"What's there to be afraid of? I'll protect you."
Fortunately, Young Man was not a narrow-minded person. Although she was jealous, she still took the responsibility of protecting Qing 'er and her teammates. Because Du Feng hid his Cultivation Method, everyone regarded him as a weakling. Naturally, he became the target of protection.
"Something is wrong." Du Feng pretended to be afraid and stayed with the others. In fact, he was looking around and estimating the number of snakes. Generally speaking, those who dared to attack a team of martial artists were all demonic beasts such as wolves, hyenas, or wild boars. Although the venomous snakes were terrifying, they were relatively timid. Under normal circumstances, they would sneak attack lone martial artists.
The phenomenon of a large group of venomous snakes surrounding 20 martial artists was not logical at all. Du Feng guessed that someone had deliberately lured the venomous snakes over. Someone had deliberately lured the venomous snakes over to attack this team of martial artists. Or the person who lured the snakes over was in the team.
"Attention, everyone. Stand back to back."
Old Zhong deserved to be an experienced team leader. He told everyone to stand back to back in case of a sneak attack. When Du Feng was about to find a place to hide, he felt someone close to his back. He did not need to look to know that it was Miss Qing 'er. Because she was the only petite girl in the team.
"Uh … It seems that Du Feng has fooled her so much that Qing 'er has developed a good impression of him." Giving her back to him showed that she trusted him very much. Otherwise, she would not do this. Fortunately, at this moment, Young Man also came over. Du Feng hurriedly missed. The three of them stood back to back and raised their swords to the outside at the same time.
"Watch out!"
