The Supreme Martial Expert of the Female CEO

Xuanyuan Xia smiled and said, "Her Holiness the Saintess, can't you tell? This is a lap pillow!"

The Bright Saintess was a bit frantic, "Of course, I know, but why is Ling Feng lying there with you? What's wrong with Ling Feng?"

Xuanyuan Xia gently shook her head, "Ling Feng is very tired right now. If you really care about him, you can take my place. Ling Feng's head is quite heavy!"

"Why should I do it?" The Bright Saintess blushed. She indeed had some feelings for Ling Feng, but doing such an action in public was too embarrassing!

Xuanyuan Xia said quietly, "Ling Feng is severely exhausted. He must have a good rest; however, the battlefield's foul atmosphere is heavy, and only this way can we ensure Ling Feng is not affected by it. Her Holiness the Saintess, I think you should do something for your savior, right?"

"Savior?"

"If not for Ling Feng's exhaustion, do you think you would have awakened so easily? You would have long been influenced by the killing atmosphere of the battlefield and turned into mindless killing machines!" Xuanyuan Xia said calmly.

As the Bright Saintess hesitated, Tama curiously said, "Sister Xuanyuan, can I help Brother Ling Feng?"

"You can't!" Xuanyuan Xia laughed and said, "Her Holiness the Saintess carries the Power of Light, which is the nemesis of the battlefield's evil air. Of course, if the Bright Saintess can't put aside her pride, then I'll just have to continue!"

The Bright Saintess snorted, "Who says I can't do it? Ling Feng and I are good friends, and helping each other is only right! I'll do it!"

Saying that, the Bright Saintess walked over to Xuanyuan Xia.

Xuanyuan Xia didn't insist and gave her spot to the Bright Saintess.

The Bright Saintess placed Ling Feng's head on her thigh, and a strong male scent wafted over her.

The Saintess's body trembled slightly, and she somewhat regretted it because she suddenly realized that as Xuanyuan Xia mentioned, having other Knights of Light guard Ling Feng would've been the same. Why did she have to give Ling Feng a lap pillow?

But now, if the Bright Saintess were to suggest it, it would seem a bit timid! So she forced herself to ignore the surrounding reactions and focused on Ling Feng's face.

Looking at Ling Feng's weary but peaceful face, the Bright Saintess was in a daze! She remembered how Ling Feng had teased her repeatedly at first, even stealing her most cherished hairband; back then, she truly disliked him!

But over time, as they interacted more, the Bright Saintess didn't know when she stopped disliking him. For some of his small teases, not only did she not feel repulsed, but rather shy!

"If I weren't the Bright Saintess of the Papal Court, I fear I would also fall," the Bright Saintess thought slightly furrowing her brow, somewhat helplessly. The more she interacted with Ling Feng, the more she discovered Ling Feng's charm.

"Looking all lovestruck, you must've had feelings for Ling Feng long ago!" Xuanyuan Xia laughed, seeing the Bright Saintess's expression.

In fact, at first, she just wanted Ling Feng to be more comfortable. In her eyes, Ling Feng was just a junior, after all, she was from a thousand years ago, and Ling Feng was still her father's disciple and heir. To Xuanyuan Xia, Ling Feng was like a little brother.

But when the Bright Saintess came over with questions, she suddenly felt like teasing her, leading to the scene that unfolded!

Once everyone had fully recovered, Ling Feng slowly opened his eyes.

When he opened his eyes, he thought he was hallucinating; why was he lying on the Bright Saintess's lap...

"You're awake?" The Bright Saintess suppressed her embarrassment and pretended to say nonchalantly, "How is your body now?"

Ling Feng got up, "Still a bit weak, but far better than before! At least it doesn't delay our journey! How is everyone?"

"Everyone's fine, although most of them are a bit mentally exhausted!" Xuanyuan Xia came over and said, "Ling Feng, I think since we've rested enough, we should leave quickly. This is not a place to linger! Who knows what might happen next!"

Looking at the desolation around, Ling Feng nodded, "Yes, if another wave of Undead Army comes, we really won't be able to hold out!"

Just as he finished speaking, the ground began rumbling again as if something was about to emerge from beneath.

"Oh no, could there be more Undead Army appearing?" Ling Feng grimaced, wondering when he developed a jinxed mouth.

"Quick, move!" Under Ling Feng's urging, everyone hurriedly distanced themselves from the area.

Upon looking back, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

This time, emerging from the ground wasn't the Undead Army but an endless swarm of Desert Worms!

Those Desert Worms scrambled madly for the scattered bones, even fighting each other over them, creating an intensely chaotic scene.

"Could it be that these Desert Worms feed on these bones?" Tama, looking back, said a bit nauseated.

"Given the strength of these Desert Worms, they can't consume these bones!" Xuanyuan Xia said calmly, "The hardness of these bones rivals that of ordinary Treasure Artifacts. I think... these Desert Worms are more like nourishment for these bones!"

"Sister Xuanyuan, how is that possible? Isn't it said that Desert Worms feed on corpses? How could these bones consume Desert Worms?" Tama asked curiously.

"You don't even understand this, still a little kid!" Unexpectedly, the Crystal Skull, dormant for quite a while, emerged from the mark on Ling Feng's hand, saying, "After Desert Worms swallow the bones, they can't digest them. Instead, the bones absorb the Desert Worms' vitality inside their bodies. Doesn't that make Desert Worms the nourishment for these bones?"

"Where were you just now? As soon as there's a battle, you disappear, and you only come out once the fighting's over!" Ling Feng said irritably.

The Crystal Skull chuckled, "The battlefield's killing air was too intense, which would cause me great harm. Besides, even without my presence, didn't you handle things perfectly? Young man, have faith in yourself, and bravely forge ahead..."

Ling Feng rolled his eyes, realizing this Crystal Skull truly isn't a trustworthy fellow!

"Alright, enough talking, let's discuss something useful now!" Ling Feng said calmly, "Do you have any shortcut to traverse this Great Desolate Valley?"
