Between saving Ye Lin and protecting several hundred thousand in cash and a pennant, Lin Feng didn't hesitate at all and chose the former!

After quickly dropping his backpack, Lin Feng felt a load lifted from his shoulders. Watching the water splash, he plunged straight in!

As expected, Ye Lin had just sunk when Lin Feng, diving into the water, encountered her flailing arm. He grasped Ye Lin's delicate hand, gradually pulled upwards, and brought her above the water's surface.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Clasping Ye Lin in his arms, Lin Feng asked anxiously.

However, Ye Lin, in his arms now, showed no response.

What the heck, she's drowned?

Lin Feng was taken aback. Looking at Ye Lin's state, she probably couldn't swim and must have swallowed some water when she fell in.

Glancing at the nearly hundred pairs of wolf eyes by the pond, Lin Feng dismissed the idea of dragging Ye Lin to the shore and reviving her using cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

"Giving cardiopulmonary resuscitation in water won't be very effective, but laying the body as flat as possible might still help," Lin Feng muttered. "No choice, this is all I can do now."

With that, Lin Feng hesitated no further. He gently adjusted Ye Lin's body to be more level, supporting her with one hand while he flattened his other hand, preparing to compress her chest.

Gazing at Ye Lin's seductive red lips, Lin Feng closed his eyes and leaned in to breathe into her mouth while simultaneously using his hand to compress her left chest area.

After doing this repeatedly, Lin Feng began to feel Ye Lin's hand moving.

"One more round."

Licking his lips, Lin Feng opened his mouth and moved in again towards Ye Lin's red lips.

"COUGH COUGH... What... what are you doing?"

At this moment, Ye Lin opened her eyes. Seeing Lin Feng with his eyes closed, mouth open, and leaning towards her, she instantly furrowed her brows.

The bright moon hung high, its silver light scattering throughout the Giant Wood Forest, casting shimmering reflections on the pond.

"I... well, you just drowned, and I was giving you cardiopulmonary resuscitation," Lin Feng said, a little awkwardly.

Not expecting Ye Lin to wake up so quickly, Lin Feng was caught off guard. He opened his eyes and looked at Ye Lin in his arms. Under the moonlight, she looked utterly stunning.

"Did you... Did you just kiss me?" asked Ye Lin shyly. Having just awakened, her voice was still a bit faint.

"No, that wasn't a kiss. I was giving you cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Otherwise, you would've been dead," Lin Feng replied guiltily.

Actually, this was his very first kiss since he was reborn, and it had been given to Ye Lin. A ripple of emotion went through him. Yes, kissing Ye Lin's cherry lips was quite a thrill.

"Cardiopulmonary resuscitation? So... your mouth was kissing mine?" Ye Lin questioned again.

"That couldn't be helped... It's just how cardiopulmonary resuscitation works. I guarantee I was just performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation. I didn't do anything else," Lin Feng explained guiltily once more.

Actually, in a moment of impulse, he had stuck out his tongue. His tongue had touched Ye Lin's fragrant little tongue—what was known as a French kiss.

Naturally, he would die before confessing this to Ye Lin. Otherwise, he would surely suffer a miserable death, perhaps even worse than being torn apart and devoured by wild wolves.

SLAP!

Ye Lin's hand flashed out, landing a resounding slap on Lin Feng's face!

"Pervert!" Ye Lin snapped.

"Hey, I was saving you, okay? Stop looking at me as if I were some pervert. All my life, I've kept my distance from women; 'a gentleman even with a beauty in his arms'—that's me. You're accusing an innocent man..."

Having been slapped, Lin Feng didn't feel good. Luckily, Ye Lin had just regained consciousness, and her slap wasn't very powerful; he just considered it a light pat.

The most frustrating part was that he used to dodge or even fight back when Ye Lin wanted to hit him. But now, trapped in this pond and carrying her in his arms, he couldn't get away. He couldn't even free his hands, because if he let go, Ye Lin would fall into the water again.

So, even though he knew he was about to be slapped, Lin Feng had no choice but to slightly turn his head, brace himself, and take it.

This was the most helpless beating he'd received in his life.

"Sigh, it's tough being a good person, and even tougher to be a good man," Lin Feng lamented.

"A good man? You? Hmph, Lin Feng, are you saying you're not lecherous?" Ye Lin, in Lin Feng's arms, questioned him.

"Of course not. I've long since seen through worldly desires. A fierce woman like you, especially, holds no attraction for me," Lin Feng declared shamelessly.

"Then... why is your hand still holding my breast?"

"Ah? Is it? Er... it seems so."

Under Ye Lin's questioning, Lin Feng's right hand twitched slightly, and he immediately felt his palm grasping a handful of fullness. Er...

When he was doing the chest compressions for Ye Lin earlier, he'd forgotten to move his hand away. Then, out of instinct, Lin Feng had made a habitual movement.

A sin, a sin indeed, Lin Feng thought with a wry chuckle and quickly removed his hand.

"I'm holding you, and I didn't know where else to put my hand, so... Besides, this hand was performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation on you just now, so it's tired, isn't it..." Lin Feng racked his brain for an explanation.

SLAP!

Another slap landed on his face.

"You took advantage of my unconsciousness to grope my chest all this time? And you still say you're not a pervert!" Ye Lin was furious now.

"Hey, I told you, I was giving you cardiopulmonary resuscitation! My hand had to be on your chest area!" Lin Feng, practically on the verge of tears but unable to cry, explained loudly.

"Do you think I don't know anything? I'm a doctor! I know how to perform CPR too. Who said you need to grab someone's chest?"

Ye Lin expressed her dissatisfaction, a blush of embarrassment creeping onto her pretty face. "If it weren't for the fact that you just saved me, I'd have castrated you by now! Hmph!"

Before you could castrate me, you'd probably have drowned first... Lin Feng thought, looking at the beautiful woman in his arms and chuckling inwardly.

In reality, under such circumstances, any normal person would have already drowned. Luckily, Ye Lin was an Inner Strength cultivator. She used her formidable Inner Strength to keep herself from sinking for a short while. Even though she had swallowed some water and choked, she was able to manipulate her Inner Strength, prolonging her life force.

Therefore, it wasn't surprising that Ye Lin woke up so quickly when Lin Feng was giving her cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

"Those wolves haven't left yet? Are they going to stand guard here all night?"

Ye Lin's gaze turned to the dozens of wild wolves on the shore. Remembering the horrifying scene of escaping the wolves' jaws, she still felt a chill run down her spine.

No matter how powerful one's martial arts, they would be useless against a hundred or two starving wolves.

"I don't know, but if we stay quiet, they might leave after a while. See? Their eyes are green with hunger. They probably can't hold out for long and will go somewhere else to find food," Lin Feng whispered.

"Really? Their eyes turn green when they're hungry?" Ye Lin asked curiously.
