Wake up at 6! The sky is showing an unusual phenomenon!
She gritted her teeth in anger, glaring at the person who had deliberately tripped her up and let her fall, what a scoundrel!
"Fall down and get up by yourself, or do you want me to go over and help you?" He raised an eyebrow at her, his eyes gleaming with a teasing light, but he seemed unaware that when facing her, he could naturally put aside his cold mask and show his truest self, just like she did.
"Damn you, Mocheng Feng! See how I'll deal with you!" She got up from the ground, brushed off the mud and bamboo leaves on her body, and with a swift movement, her palm formed a knife-like shape, charging at him with a fierce aura.
The blue-clad figure moved, her sleeves fluttering lightly as her lithe form seemed to shift and twist in an instant. With a swift and agile motion, she closed the distance between them, her hand flashing down in a knife-like strike that he deflected with a large hand. In the same moment, she darted to his front, unleashing a fierce attack with her sharp movements, her body leaning forward slightly as she lifted her foot to kick at him from underfoot.
Seeing her move, Mu Chenfeng's phoenix eyes narrowed, and a faint light flashed in his black pupils. He glanced at the person in front of him, turned sideways, and retreated. Who knew that she would suddenly throw a punch and come over? Because he didn't expect her to make a move so quickly, for a moment he was caught off guard and was hit by her fist.
"Hiss!"
He involuntarily gasped and covered his eyes which were hit by her: "Woman, you did that on purpose."
Tang's chin rose triumphantly: "Who made you let me fall earlier? If I don't get revenge, I won't be able to let it go." She didn't deny that this guy's skills were quite good, and it wouldn't be easy to make him take the bait. However, when it came to dealing with him, she had plenty of methods.
"Come on!" he said in a low voice, releasing his hand. The eyes that had just been punched by Tang Xin were slightly bruised, and paired with his cold and stern expression, it was actually quite comical. She couldn't help but let out a light laugh.
"Haha, you look really funny like that, but it's actually quite suitable for you." With a smile in her clear eyes, she looked at his bruised eye and waved her hand: "I'm not coming, I'm not coming, I'm dying of heat, I want to take a bath." As she spoke, she ignored him and walked towards the small pavilion.
Watching her walk towards the small pavilion, Mu Chenfeng paused for a moment before following her. When they arrived at the edge of Qinghua Pond, Tang Xin looked around and felt that something was missing. She stared at the pond for a long time before finally figuring out what the problem was.
"I say, Mu Chenfeng, there's nothing to block the view around this Qinghua Pool! Are you going to let me take a bath here? Won't I be seen by others?"
He glanced at her and walked inside, took out a small bottle to apply ointment on the eye that she had punched, saying in a low voice: "There won't be anyone else here."
"You're not human, are you?"
He raised an eyebrow and looked her up and down before saying with a hint of disdain, "I'm not interested in your flat figure."
"Flat chest?"
She raised an eyebrow and smiled slyly: "So you like women with curves? I'll send two over to you another day, how's that?" Want to attack her? No way. She was extremely confident in her own figure, curvy where she should be, slender where she should be, completely unrelated to what he had said.
He wiped off the medicine and glanced at her, then walked out without a word.
"Hey! Mù Chén Fēng, where are you going?"
"Return to the mansion." He said without turning his head back.
"Hey, you can't leave yet! Who's going to watch over me while I take a bath?"
"No one comes here."
"What if I'm soaking and someone comes?"
“……”
In the end, Tang Xin was comfortably soaking in the Tsinghua Pool, humming a tune and playing with water, while a certain man sat on the other side of the artificial hill studying the unenlightened key, listening to the sound coming from that side, his deep eyes involuntarily swept over a hint of mystery, looking towards the artificial hill, meaning unclear, unknown what he was thinking.
It's so comfortable! The water is cool and refreshing, and it keeps bubbling up from the small holes in the pool, just like a massage pool. It really feels great. If he were an ordinary man, she wouldn't dare to soak in the hot spring with him behind the fake hill. She has known Mu Chenfeng for so long, and apart from being a bit cold, a bit ruthless, and sometimes a bit of a scoundrel, he's actually not bad.
"Mo Xun wind?"
"Anything wrong?" Someone raised an eyebrow, their gaze falling on the artificial hill.
"It's nothing."
Upon hearing this, he twitched the corner of his mouth, stood up and walked out, standing still with his hands behind his back at the door of the small pavilion, gazing at the bamboo forest in front of him. He was lost in thought, when suddenly, Tang Xin's voice came from behind him again.
"Is it windy?"
He didn't respond, but instead turned his head back and gazed at the artificial hill. What was this woman doing? Was taking a bath such a big deal?
"Is it windy?"
His eyebrows twitched slightly, and his face gradually looked unwell: "Is there something?" At this time, he couldn't help but wonder if it was right to call her to accompany him in practice. This was simply looking for trouble for himself.
"This hot spring is comfortable, but I shouldn't soak for too long. It's getting late now, I should head back. You can call me again when you want to practice."
As she walked out from behind the fake mountain, her hair tips slightly wet with water droplets, her demeanor natural and casual, he couldn't help but have his phoenix eyes flicker, slowly lowering his gaze: "Has Mù Tiān Yòu been looking for you recently?" With her uniqueness, it's no wonder that even a man in his forties like Mù Tiān Yòu is infatuated with her.
"Except for that one day a few months ago when I was summoned to the palace, he hasn't bothered me again. But from time to time, he sends things over." She said casually, while tidying up her hair.
"Do you plan on continuing to associate with him?"
Upon hearing this, she gave him a strange look: "Don't you already know? Why are you asking again? Is your conscience getting the better of you and you want to return what you swindled from me? If so, then hand it over, I'll take it back with me."
"No." He turned around with his hands behind his back, walked slowly towards the Tsinghua Pool, looked at the pool water with wisps of smoke rising from it, stood still for a while, and said in a low voice: "It's getting late, you should go back!"
Monster!
She was secretly thinking, changing her face so quickly, and suddenly becoming cold, really didn't know what wind she had caught. Just as she turned around and walked out, she heard the voice behind her again.
"Girl, that emperor is not suitable for you."
She stopped in her tracks, her clear eyes falling on him as she smiled lightly: "Whether or not he's suitable is for me to decide. I have a good impression of him and feel affection for him, and he treats me sincerely too. Besides, if he's not suitable, does that mean Mu Tianyu is?"
Looking at him with tightly pursed lips, she smiled and walked over to his front: "Hey, Mu Chenfeng, actually you're not a bad person, suitable for being friends, although we used to clash every time we met, but I really do admire you, don't worry about my affairs, emotional things, I can handle them myself, okay, I have to go, if it gets any later the sky will be dark."
Watching her walk away, her figure was elegant and carefree, her movements were graceful and airy. His black pupils flickered, as if a flash of inexplicable darkness had passed through them. Until the blue figure disappeared at the other end of the bamboo forest, out of his line of sight, he didn't withdraw his gaze.
"Master, aren't you happy? It's okay, there are dolls to accompany you!"
A soft and gentle voice echoed in his mind, and he also came back to his senses from his thoughts. Wasn't he unhappy? What was there to be happy about? He had always looked down on her, so why would he care about her business now? That Emperor Xuan was just a hypocrite; since she insisted on getting entangled with him, what did it have to do with him?
"Master, you must cultivate your spiritual energy! Otherwise, the doll won't grow up. Master, I'll tell you a secret! A treasure has appeared on this Dragon Continent, master must find it quickly, or else someone else will snatch it away!"
"Baby?"
"Uh-huh, that person also came for the treasure! Many people in the cultivation world will come to find it because it's really a precious thing, so they all want to grab it!"
Listening to the soft and envious tone, Mu Chenfeng raised an eyebrow and asked: "Then do you know what that thing is? What's its function? Why do those cultivators want to get it? Do you also know where that thing is?"
"The doll doesn't know what that treasure is or where it came from, but if it can make all those people come out to look for it, it must be very powerful. However, the doll doesn't know where the treasure is, otherwise she would take her master to find it."
"The Dragon Continent is neither big nor small, but to find something in it without an accurate location is like searching for a needle in the ocean." Yet, someone who could give him a spiritual treasure might also be interested, perhaps it's not an ordinary object.
But what will it be?
As night fell, in the Tang family's compound, in Tang Xin's courtyard, at this moment, she was only wearing a single layer of clothing, sitting cross-legged on her bed, meditating and cultivating her energy. On her body, a faint layer of spiritual energy appeared and disappeared around her. On her wrist, the purple-golden cuff lay quietly, since that strange phenomenon several months ago, until today, there had been no change.
However, at this time, the purple-golden cuff slowly diffused a faint golden light, slightly swaying on her wrist, and the subtle movement also caught Tang Xin's attention.
She let out a soft breath, slowly suppressing her breathing. For months, she had been trying to condense her energy, but apart from that one accidental success of absorbing the energy into her body, there seemed to be no progress. However, she could feel the spiritual energy on her becoming increasingly dense, which made her slightly worried.
If she were to encounter a cultivator, wouldn't they be able to see the rich spiritual energy within her body? That would put her at risk of being killed at any moment. After all, with her current abilities, she could still handle herself against martial artists, but if she were to cross hands with a cultivator, that would be nothing short of seeking death.
"Master."
A gentle and soft voice entered Tang Xin's mind, making her pause in thought: "Who!"
The purple-gold bangle on his wrist emitted a faint glow and swayed slightly: "Master, it's me."
“Bracelet?” She stared at the purple-gold bracelet that emitted a faint glow, no wonder she felt it move earlier. This bracelet had suddenly appeared on her wrist months ago and hadn't made a sound since. She had tried to take it off before, but couldn't, it was as if it was stuck, weirdly enough, today it even spoke...
"Master, I am the spirit of the Purple Golden Bracelet. However, your current cultivation is too low, and I am unable to manifest in human form. The Purple Mist is a divine artifact and also a spatial bracelet. It can help you hide your aura, and even a Foundation Establishment cultivator would be unable to detect it."
"Wen Wan's soft voice said gently, which made Tang Xin's heart shocked: 'Yi Ling? Are you a spiritual artifact in the Xianxia world? How did you appear on my wrist?'"
"Ziyou is a top-grade immortal artifact, and since the master's birth, Ziyou has been attached to the master's body due to a contractual relationship, until recently when the master drew in air, Ziyou finally awakened."
"Was it decided since birth?" She hesitated: "Then do you know my background?" It was always felt that her background was not simple, otherwise, the cultivators would not have launched a manhunt for her, but, what exactly was it?
"Master, Ziyu was asleep before and didn't know what happened, nor did she remember your past." Wen's gentle voice replied, answering every question unless it was something she didn't know.
"So it was like this." She murmured softly, still thinking she could learn about her own life, but still couldn't get a clue.
"Although Ziyu doesn't know the master's background, he can be certain that the master's identity must be extremely noble. A top-grade immortal artifact is not something an ordinary cultivator can possess. Given time, the master will surely uncover the mystery of his own life, and Ziyu will always accompany him by his side."
"Are you Ziyu?" She smiled, curiously fiddling with the purple gold bangle on her wrist. At first glance, this bangle looked good, but unexpectedly, it was actually a high-quality immortal artifact and spatial bangle.
"Uh-huh." She responded softly, her voice seemingly tinged with delight.
"What a beautiful name, I think if you could transform into human form, you must be a very beautiful spirit."
"When the master's cultivation reaches a certain level, Ziyu can transform into human form and appear in front of the master." Wen Wan's voice paused slightly before continuing: "Master, Ziyu has just awakened and her breath is still unstable, but recently she sensed that a treasure is about to appear, so she woke up to inform you. If the master can find this treasure, it will definitely be of great help in the future."
"Oh? Treasure? What treasure? Is it a spiritual artifact too?" She asked with interest.
"The purple aura is unknown what treasure it is, but it's definitely not an ordinary object. These past few days, the master has been paying attention to the western direction, perhaps he will know where the treasure is hidden. However, the heavenly spiritual treasures and the birth of ancient divine beasts must be accompanied by omens that stir up shocking waves, and cultivators will surely come searching. I hope the master will be cautious."
Tang Xin nodded slightly, a solemn expression floating on his face. Indeed, if it was truly a shocking treasure, it would definitely attract the attention of many people, and when that time came, there would be no lack of fighting and killing. Moreover, if the other party was a cultivator, it might be even more dangerous.
Indeed, as Zi You said, many cultivators have secretly appeared in the Dragon Continent, but they also don't know what kind of heavenly treasure will appear next and where it will appear. So, they all choose to wait quietly in high places, waiting for the birth of a divine phenomenon.
Because they all know that the cultivators who come to Longteng Continent to wait for the birth of that strange object are not just one or two, it's one thing where it will appear, and whether they can seize it is another matter. After all, these cultivators cannot fight with ordinary people, but they can compete with other cultivators. In this world, no matter where, the strong are respected, only the strong can be respected, and only the strong can occupy a place.
At this moment, on the top of a cliff in the west, a man in gray stood with the wind, his robe fluttering in the wind, and his eyes, which contained a sense of oppression, were fixed on the western direction. Although he didn't know where that strange object would land, he knew clearly it was located in the west.
"Fellow Taoist, you've been following me for several months now. Don't you think it's time to come out and show yourself?" The man in grey robes spoke with his eyes fixed on the night sky ahead, without turning back to face the person hiding in the shadows.
The person hiding in the dark narrowed his eyes, and a sharp color flashed at the bottom of his eyes, staring at the gray-robed man in front. He had clearly hidden the aura on his body and retreated carefully to more than ten meters away, but he still knew it. It seems that this person is really not simple!
Months ago, the person he sent to kill Tang Xin failed, so he came over himself to check, wanting to see where the problem lay, but instead encountered this man. An ordinary face, yet with a thick and profound aura, emitting an air of depth that was immeasurable, yet when he probed with his divine sense, he couldn't see through his cultivation level at all? But from his words and actions, he knew that this person was not an ordinary cultivator, so what was he doing in the Dragon Ascending Continent?
After following him for several months, he finally found out that the Dragon and Phoenix Continent had a strange object about to be born. Moreover, he also saw many cultivators appearing one after another. What kind of mysterious object could have attracted so many cultivators? In a place like the Dragon and Phoenix Continent, what kind of precious and rare object would be born?
If there really is a rare and extraordinary object born, it must be an extraordinary thing. He secretly follows this person because he believes that no one can know faster than this person. Because of his profound and immeasurable cultivation, because of the aura that emanates from him imperceptibly, all are absolutely extraordinary!
"You're not simple at all!" He walked out slowly, his gaze, which was emitting a cold and gloomy aura, fell on the figure in front of him.
"Hehe, fellow daoist is joking, I'm just an ordinary cultivator, what's not simple about it?" The man in gray robes chuckled softly, his voice carrying a casual tone. He slowly turned around, his plain face becoming clearer under the moonlight, his warm black pupils gazing casually at the man under the tree shade.
"Is it? In that case, I'd like to ask you for some advice!"
The man's palm solidified as the fierce voice fell, and his body's spiritual energy surged up rapidly, condensing in his hand. He suddenly absorbed the wind energy from the air into his palm, and the energy howled in response, forming a whirlpool-like shape that slowly expanded in his palm, gradually accelerating until it formed a vortex large enough to swallow a person. Accompanied by a low, sinister growl, he launched himself at the gray-robed man.
"Whirlwind Blade! Strike!"
The wind energy swept through the air, and the breath in mid-air seemed to solidify in an instant. The strong winds at the top of the cliff originally made the man's powers even more turbulent. Seeing his own attack emit a terrifying power, a hint of arrogance flashed across the man's eyes, and the smile on his lips curled up sinisterly. However, just the next moment, that curled-up mouth corner stiffened rigidly at the edge of his lips.
"How can this be! How is it possible!"
He incredulously widened his eyes, staring at how his attack was effortlessly swept away by the grey-robed man's sleeve...
That was a fatal blow! How did he do it? He's just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, yet he somehow dissolved his vortex blade like that! Anger surged in his chest, but was suppressed in the next moment, not because he endured it, but because he had to, he couldn't help but admit defeat and bow his head. The person in front of him must have a much higher cultivation level than himself, otherwise he wouldn't have neutralized his attack so easily. Maybe, just maybe, the opponent is even a Core Formation cultivator!
Could it be that he's a Golden Core cultivator? It's possible, right? In the cultivation world, becoming a Golden Core cultivator isn't an easy feat.
Having calmed the shock and anger in his heart, he took a deep breath before bowing down to pay his respects: "Fellow Daoist's cultivation is profound, I am inferior and have committed many offenses just now, I hope Fellow Daoist will forgive me." To be sure, if the other party had harbored murderous intentions towards him, he would not have had any chance of survival.
The man in gray robes looked at him with his deep, dark eyes, and his ordinary face still had that calm expression. He slowly turned around, and his gaze fell again on the night sky ahead. Without needing to say a word or exert any pressure, the sinister-looking man automatically backed off and quickly left his line of sight, because he knew that if he continued to secretly follow him, he would be in danger of losing his life at any moment if he annoyed him.
But at this moment, the western sky suddenly cracked open like a mouth, accompanied by a loud rumble, a golden light burst forth from the night sky and fell to one place...
At that moment, the man in gray robes who was standing with his hands behind his back swept his sleeves and sent his sword flying in that direction. The sinister-looking man who had been leaving turned back halfway and saw this scene, and immediately followed suit by sending his own sword after him.
A thunderous roar shook the heavens and earth, causing a stir among all personnel. A golden light descended from the sky, creating an astonishing scene that left onlookers speechless.
On the rooftop of Xiangfu, Tang Xin stood at a high place, looking at that spot where golden light was sprinkled, her clear eyes flashing slightly. There, it seemed to be the location of Fuyun Mountain...
“Mount Floating Clouds…” The roof of the Wang Fu, Mo Chen's eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at that location. Was it really where a heavenly treasure was born? In the next moment, a black figure flashed and had already flown towards Mount Floating Clouds.
The next day
"Xin'er, are you going to Fuyun Mountain? Because of the strange phenomenon last night?" Tang Zhengyu looked at his daughter in front of him, having heard her say she was going out early that morning.
She nodded: "Mm, Dad, I want to go take a look."
He sank into thought for a moment, then said: "When heaven sends forth an omen, there will certainly be many people going to pry. You go alone and I am not at ease. How about this? Let your elder brother accompany you together, plus Xiaoxue and Xiaoyu, two of them, and I can also feel a little more at ease."
"Alright, we'll set off immediately." She added, "Father, since we won't be at home, you must take good care of yourselves. Increase the number of night guards patrolling the estate."
"Go ahead! Don't worry about home, but be careful on your way, and don't fight with others unless absolutely necessary."
"I understand." She nodded and turned around to leave.
Outside the gate, Xia Xue and Xia Yu had already prepared their horses. Since they were in a hurry to leave, the few of them could only ride on horseback. When they arrived outside, they saw that Tang Zihao hadn't come out yet, so they asked: "Xiao Xue, where's my brother?"
"Here, here! Little sister, I'm over here!" Behind her came Tang Zihao's voice. Turning around, she saw him leading a donkey out. Tang Xin was taken aback and her mouth twitched slightly: "Fatty brother, where did you pull this donkey from? Don't tell me you want to ride it with me to Fuyun Mountain."
"You're not unaware that I don't know how to ride a horse, if I don't ride a donkey what do I ride?" Tang Zihao struggled to pull the donkey behind him, but unexpectedly the donkey was stubbornly backing away, seemingly unwilling to move forward, and then the following scene unfolded.
"Hurry up, you slowpoke!"
That donkey pulled back on the rope, as if it had been carrying something with him, but refused to move forward.
"Stop stalling, although I've gained some weight, I won't crush you. At most, when we get back, I'll have someone prepare more food for you and fatten you up a bit, how about that?"
Watching him actually negotiating with the donkey, Xia Xue and Xia Yu couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh out loud, while Tang Xin rubbed his forehead in frustration, speechless.
"Fat brother, why don't you just stay at home? I'll go with Xiaoxue and the others."
"That's impossible!"
"What's the point of that? You can't even ride a horse, and this donkey doesn't want you to ride it either! Besides, riding a donkey is slower than taking a carriage, how are you going to keep up with us?"
Tang Zihao thought for a moment with a bitter face, his small eyes fell on the horse she was holding, and said: "Then I'll ride one with you, anyway your riding skills are good."
"It's no use."
Tang Xin directly refused, but his gaze shifted and swept over Xia Xue's body, a hint of cunning appearing in his eyes: "However, you can ride together with Xiao Xue on one horse. Of course, if she doesn't want to ride with you, then you can sit in the carriage and follow us from behind. We won't wait for you."
As soon as he heard her words, he immediately let go of the donkey's rope and ran to Xiaoxue's front, holding her hand and staring at her with pleading eyes: "Xiaoxue, you wouldn't bear to see me pitifully following behind you guys, would you?"
"Master..."
Xia Xue's face turned slightly red as she looked at him and then glanced at Tang Xin, her expression awkward.
"Xiaoxue, I know you're the best to me, just ride a horse with me! At most, at most after we come back I'll go learn how to ride a horse. If you don't ride a horse with me, my sister really won't let me go. Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue, just agree!"
"Hmph!"
Looking at his silly appearance, Tang Xin couldn't help but burst out laughing. Summer Rain on the side covered her mouth and smiled while watching them. At this time, Tang Xin glanced at them with a smile and said to Xia Xue: "Xia Xue, just give in to my fat brother! Look at him, if someone sees him like that, won't they die from laughter? Can you bear to let him lose face?"
Tang Zihao climbed up the wisteria: "Yes, Xiaoxue, just surrender to me!"
"Yes, sister, just give in to the young master!" Xia Yu also chimed in with a tease, quickly mounting her horse and sitting on its back, smiling at them.
Xia Xue's face turned red with embarrassment, and she glanced at Tang Zihao in front of her: "Young master, don't talk nonsense. What do you mean by 'followed you'? If you want me to ride together with Gong Qi, then let's go!" As she spoke, she jumped onto the horse first and sat on its back, stretching out her hand towards him.
"Haha! I knew Xiaoxue was the best!" Tang Zihao laughed, immediately grasping her hand and flipping over to sit behind her.
Tang Xin saw this and also mounted his horse. With a crack of the whip, he urged the horse on, shouting "Go!"
Seeing the young lady from his own family heading towards the city gate, Xia Xue also pulled tight the reins and said: "Young master, hold on tight." As soon as her voice fell, she urged the horse on with a squeeze of her legs, and with a flick of the reins, the horse's hooves pounded the ground as it galloped forward.
"Ah! Close call!" Tang Zihao, who was sitting behind, leaned back as the horse galloped forward and instinctively wrapped his arms around Xia Xue's waist in front of him, letting out a soft sigh.
However, in contrast to his daze, Xia Xue was startled by his sudden hand around her waist and her body stiffened slightly the next moment, feeling a bit uncomfortable, wanting him to let go, but if he let go of her, where else could he hold? She sighed softly in her heart and also allowed him to hold her.
He's as dull as a block of wood, after all this time together he still doesn't know her intentions, even if he were to hold her now, I reckon there wouldn't be any improper thoughts.
"Xiao Xue, hurry up, let's catch up and overtake my sister." Tang Zihao shouted excitedly from behind. Perhaps because he was too fat, he never learned to ride a horse when he was young. Every time he sat on the back of a horse, he would be thrown off, so after falling several times, he lost interest in learning to ride horses, which is also why he can't ride horses now.
"Young master, this horse carrying you and me is no match for Miss's horse."
"Oh! I forgot, I'm quite heavy, and this horse is carrying both of us, it's already not bad that it hasn't been crushed. He said with a belated realization, and then excitedly added: "Xiaoxue, riding a horse feels so great, when I come back I'll definitely learn to ride a horse, next time I'll take you galloping on horseback, how about that?"
"Good." Xia Xue slightly raised the corners of her lips, and her beautiful eyes were filled with joy. She urged her horse forward, whipping it into a gallop...
Riding horses, they were much faster than taking a carriage. When the group arrived at Mount Fuyun, it was already late afternoon. The sun had not yet set, but people kept coming from all directions, heading towards Mount Fuyun. As expected, after dismounting their horses, Su Ruo Shui and Su Zhen Nan appeared behind them.
In the imperial city, everyone must have seen that astonishing phenomenon last night and expected them to come. However, no one thought they would be right behind them. Several people exchanged glances, but no one intentionally went forward to greet each other. After all, the incident a few months ago was unpleasant, and now when they met again, no one had a good face to show anyone.
"Let's go." Su Zhen Nan glanced at Tang Xin and others, then stepped forward into the Floating Cloud Mountain.
"What's so great about it?" Tang Zihao snorted and gave them a sideways glance.
Su Ruoshui stepped forward, pausing as she passed by Tang Xin and the others. Her beautiful eyes held a hint of severity, her voice cold as she said: "Tang Xin, you don't think that just because of your looks, you can also enter Lin Xunbao's place? There are so many powerful experts on this Floating Cloud Mountain, with strong martial arts skills everywhere. You're so stunningly beautiful, but without any martial power to protect yourself, relying only on those empty techniques without any real strength... be careful, or you might not make it out."
"Suo Ruoshui! How dare you speak like that!" Tang Zihao didn't care if the other person was a woman or not, he took a big step forward and blocked Tang Xin's path, using his chubby belly to bump Suo Ruoshui back several steps.
"Tang Zihao, you dare! Stop using your disgusting body to touch me!" Out of the blue, she was bumped by him like that, Su Ruo Water only felt his fat belly rubbing against her body, suddenly feeling extremely disgusted, and immediately shouted in anger, raising her hand to slap his fat face.
Xia Xue's eyes turned cold, a hint of severity flashing in her beautiful eyes. No one saw how she moved, but two slapping sounds rang out, leaving Su Ruo Shui stunned and disoriented for quite some time before regaining consciousness.
"Ah, water!" Su Zhen Nan, who had walked inside, saw her being hit and quickly came to her side. He looked at the two bright red palm prints on her face, his eyes suddenly darkening with a terrifying glare. He coldly swept his gaze towards Xia Xue: "A small servant girl like you, who allowed you to lay hands on her?"
Me!
Tang Xin pushed away Tang Zihao who was blocking her way, and walked forward slowly. She looked straight at Su Zhen Nan with clear eyes: "I allowed it, just beating a mad dog that barks randomly, what's wrong? Mr. Su is heartbroken? If you really care, take good care of her, don't let her bark at people randomly."
"You!"
Su Zhen's face turned gloomy, he didn't expect her to dare speak to him like that. As soon as his body moved forward one step, two white figures blocked in front of her. His sharp eyes scanned her two maids with a cold gaze, and let out a disdainful snort: "You two think you can be my opponents? You're overestimating yourselves!" With a flick of his hand, a fierce attack shot towards the two women.
Xia Xue and Xia Yu's eyes turned cold at the same time, and they both made a move. One of them launched a main attack from above, while the other launched a main attack from below. In just two or three moves, they forced Su Zhen Nan to retreat. Xia Xue gave him a cold glance, her fierce gaze evident: "The one who is underestimating his own strength is you!"
Su Zhen's mind was shocked and he was defeated by two maids? How is this possible? They were clearly so weak, yet they managed to defeat him? For a moment, the usually confident Su Zhen felt a blow to his ego, and his face turned pale.
"Big brother." Su Ruo Shui came to his side, glaring at Tang Xin who was standing behind him with a carefree expression: "You're just a useless thing that hides behind others! What do you have to be proud of? If you've got the guts, come out and fight me!"
Tang Xin raised a faint smile, noticing that more and more people around her were paying attention, so she smiled lightly: "I'm really sorry, I won't engage with a mad dog." Alright, even the courtesy of addressing someone politely was dispensed with - it's indeed refreshing to be called out like this! This woman is hypocritical, she had disliked her for a long time.
"Xiaoxue, these two slaps of yours are truly applause-worthy." Looking at the two with unsightly expressions, she walked forward cheerfully: "Pangzi brother, let's go! Don't bother with a mad dog like him."
"Haha, little sister is right, let's go, treasure hunting!" Tang Zihao laughed with gleeful eyes, following closely behind her as they walked into the Floating Cloud Mountain.
"Big brother, are we going to let them humiliate us like this? If Shui's heart is filled with unvented anger!" She bit her lip, unwilling to suffer the insult, but Su Zhen Nan beside her held her back.
His sinister gaze locked onto their direction, a fierce killing intent flashed across Su Zhen Nan's eyes as he said in a low voice: "That Tang Zi Hao had already advanced to Wu Zong several months ago, and those two girls are not ordinary either. That Tang Xin is very cunning, if we suddenly attack, we won't even have the upper hand. Let's enter the forest first, once inside, we can discuss our plan! This time, I will definitely make them die within the Floating Cloud Mountain!"
The sky hadn't completely darkened yet, and the people in the Floating Clouds Mountain had already begun to look for a place to rest. Because they were searching for treasure, they all headed deeper into the mountain. However, originally there were no wild beasts on the Floating Clouds Mountain, but several months ago, rumors began circulating that wolf packs had appeared. Therefore, if they wanted to rest, they couldn't just rest anywhere and had to find a safe enough place. While defending against wild beasts, they also had to be on guard against other people!
"It's getting dark so quickly, sister. Why don't you all rest in the tree tonight? I'll keep watch." Although they hadn't lit a fire yet, the temperature on Floating Cloud Mountain was actually warmer than outside, and it being June made it even more unbearable after riding horses all day and walking such a long distance into the forest. As soon as he sat down, he was drenched in sweat.
Tang Xin looked around and saw that many people had started fires, preparing to spend the night in the forest. Her eyes flickered, and she secretly made plans in her heart.
"Master, have a drink of water!" Xia Xue handed him the canteen and saw her mistress sitting aside looking around, so she also looked around.
Xia Yu sat beside Tang Xin, took out a piece of dry rations from her small bundle and handed it to her: "Miss, have some dry rations." Fortunately, she had brought these things when they left the house, at least they didn't need to prepare food in such a tired state.
"Hmm." Tang Xin took a bite, closed her eyes and fell into deep thought.
Until the night was deep and the people who had rushed from all over were tired of sleeping on the trees, Tang Xin slowly opened his eyes, and the sleepless pupils shone with a captivating light. As soon as he woke up, several people beside him knew it.
"Miss? Why aren't you sleeping?" Xia Xue and Xia Yu spoke out in unison, while Tang Zihao, who was sitting under the tree, also looked up in surprise.
Tang Xin made a silencing gesture, and lightly jumped down from the tree, looking around, while Tang Zihao curiously approached, lowering his voice to ask: "Sister, what do you want to do?"
"Treasure hunt!" she responded matter-of-factly.
"Going treasure hunting in the middle of the night?" Although he had a few guesses that she would do this, when she said it out loud, he was still surprised and raised an eyebrow.
"It's only midnight when no one competes with us, let's go, speak softly, don't let others know."
"Good." Several people responded in unison and quietly headed into the forest.
However, just after a few people had left, two figures in the distance straightened their bodies and looked at each other, with a sinister and venomous glint flashing in their eyes.
Let them die silently and ignominiously, with their bodies defeated and their names ruined!
