But Long Qingxie gave a mysterious smile, and then his figure suddenly moved forward.
"Boh!"
Yun Wu felt something flashed past her eyes. He gave her a kiss, his soft thin lips quickly touching her red ones. When she blinked again, Long Qingxie's figure had turned into a white blur and shot far away.
"Tiny, don't get lost! Catch up with me!" the man raised his voice and yelled, clearly in a delighted mood.
Yun Wu stood transfixed for a couple of seconds. After she collected herself, she discovered that her heart was fluttering.
'This goddamn Yōkai!'
Glaring at the man in the distance, Yun Wu clenched her teeth, but then she started pursuing him without hesitation.
…
In the depths of the Magic Beasts Forest.
As they approached this area, they found that all the magic beasts here seemed to have disappeared. Even if occasionally one or two showed up, they seemed pretty listless. It was weirdly quiet.
This was the depths of the forest, and there should be a lot of lively magic beasts running around here.
But surprisingly, they hadn't met a single magic beast for a day and a night, and neither had there been any so-called crises. Things were going unusually smoothly.
However!
When Yun Wu found another withered Vigor Grasses, she frowned tightly, "Another withered one. What happened here? We've searched high and low in this area, but all we've found are scorched ones."
Since they entered the depths of this forest, they had been searching for a day and a night only to find that all Vigor Grasses here had withered.
It seemed as if something had sucked them dry.
All those Vigor Grasses were among thick weeds, yet they were the only ones that had withered, which was the strangest thing.
Long Qingxie glanced around, puzzled, "Let's keep moving!"
Yun Wu nodded.
They immediately started walking towards the mountain in the middle of the forest. However, they had just walked a little further when the sounds of fighting were heard.
"Roar – "
And there were also roars of ferocious beasts.
"There seems to be something worth watching. Should we go and check it out? Or should we take a detour?" Long Qingxie's eyes flashed in the direction of Yun Wu, asking in a deep voice.
Lifting her eyebrows, Yun Wu glanced at the man who had a languid half smile on his face. She knew that the fighting ahead must have aroused this man's interest.
Actually, she wasn't really interested, but they had been traveling in this area for a day and a night yet had barely seen any magic beasts. And now, judging by those roars, there seemed to be plenty of magic beasts fighting with humans.
She couldn't help feeling curious.
"Let's go and take a look," after saying this, Yun Wu flashed forward soundlessly. And then she sneaked towards the spot where the fighting was happening. She was so light on her feet that she moved like a breeze, leaving no trace.
Long Qingxie curved the corner of his lips in a smile tinged with wickedness, mumbling, "You look uninterested, but you made you move even quicker than I."
After saying this, with a sudden move of his body, he shot forward like a flash of white light in the direction of the woman.
…
"Attack from the left side and breach their defense, whatever the cost!" a female voice was heard among the noises of fighting.
Juding from the voice, the female was Snow Murong whom Yun Wu had met on the periphery of Magic Beasts Forest.
Hearing her yell, three men immediately launched an attack on the targets on their right side.
But clearly, the three men were not powerful enough to break through the encirclement of over ten Tier V magic beasts.
But apart from Snow Murong and her men, there were another group of people who were also besieging those magic beasts.
They were twelve Tier VI guards under the command of a young man.
Dressed in a gray robe, that man was about twenty three or twenty four years old. He had a well-featured face and looked rather elegant.
Like Snow Murong, he was standing by. Those twelve guards of his had been trying to break through those magic beasts and reach the center but all their efforts so far had been in vain.
"Ouyang Ke, I didn't expect that you would also come here. But I'm telling you – this Vigor Grass is mine. I'll do anything to get it," Snow Murong glanced at that gray-robed man, a cold, sneering look on her face.
Located in two neighboring cities, the Ouyang family and the Murong family were mortal enemies.
Hearing her words, Ouyang Ke gave a faint smile, "Lady Murong's breath is just as bad as usual. I can smell it from so far away."
The sarcasm in his voice was neither too heavy nor too light, but Snow Murong's face instantly turned livid with rage, "You… "
All of a sudden.
"Roar – "
Continuous roars of magic beasts interrupted her.
Besieged by so many humans, those magic beasts went furious and they instantly became more ferocious. Soon, scent of blood pervaded the forest.
Originally, Snow Murong and Ouyang Ke had been standing at the side, but seeing this, they could no longer stand by. They whipped out their swords and joined the fight.
It was a scrimmage.
Yun Wu was hiding in a big tree. Seeing the fight, she instantly got excited.
Two groups of people were having an intense fight with a flock of Tier V magic beasts, and what they were fighting for was a plant growing on a rock surrounded by those magic beasts.
That green grass was nothing else but the Vigor Grass that Yun Wu had been seeking for a day and a night.
How could Yun Wu not feel excited on the sight of a live Vigor Grass?
But when she saw that Snow Murong, she slightly lifted her eyebrows.
It turned out that Snow Murong was also here for Vigor Grasses.
However, since this Vigor Grass had been seen by her, then it would naturally belong to her, "Feng Wu".
"Tiny, I can see that your eyes brightened. Any chance you want to join the scrimmage?" Long Qingxie lifted his eyebrows and looked the woman beside him, smiling.
Hearing this, Yun Wu raised her eyebrows and glanced at him, "You think I have nothing else to do?"
'Join the scrimmage?'
She wasn't interested at all. The only thing she was interested in was that Vigor Grass in the middle.
A wicked smile appeared on Long Qingxie's face, the tips of his long fingers idly stroking her black hair falling on her shoulders, "It seems that you little thing want to take the grass after they finish the fight."
Yun Wu slowly curved up the corner of her lips, "If you want to join the fight and have some fun, I won't stop you."
Long Qingxie smiled wickedly, "What a sinister woman!"
Curving her lips, Yun Wu looked at him with a half smile on her face, "If I'm sinister, than you're sly, dark and venomous."
"Which is why we'll make a perfect couple," Long Qingxie's voice was enchanting, deep and very pleasant.
Yun Wu rolled her eyes at him but didn't contradict. She turned her head aside to continue watching the scrimmage.
The acquiescence of the woman made Long Qingxie's deep, black eyes somewhat deeper, and the smile on his handsome face was unusually coquettish, which indicated that he was in a pretty good mood.
However, there were always unexpected twists and turns when things were coming to an end.
The scrimmage didn't last long. When the teams of both Snow Murong and Ouyang Ke were about to lose, two people with potent Qi rapidly approached them from outside the forest.
As soon as the two figures arrived, they exerted their Tier IX fighting spirit and swung their sabers at the flock of magic beasts.
"Thud!"
A saber slash hit the targets. Several magic beasts were wounded, letting out roars of pain.
Then the two figures leaped down onto the ground.
Snow Murong's arm had been scratched by a magic beast and the wound was bleeding. On the sight of the person who had just landed, she yelled delightedly, "Second Uncle!"
That was a middle-aged man about forty years old, dressed in dark purple brocade robe. The look on his face was somewhat cold. It seemed that he was a serious man.
Seeing the wounded arm of Snow Murong, he reprimanded with a frown, "Who allowed you to come to the depths of this forest? This is unbelievable."
Hearing her Second Uncle's reprimand, Snow Murong curled her lips with an aggrieved look, "Second Uncle, I did this because I'm worried about grandfather."
Under Sky Murong's cold gaze, Snow Murong was rather afraid, but as if trying to justify her deeds, she hurriedly said, "Second Uncle, don't be mad. I've already found a Vigor Grass. It's right there."
Looking in the direction that Snow Murong was pointing in, Sky Murong saw that Vigor Grass growing on a rock surrounded by magic beasts.
But at the same time, there was also a middle-aged man standing by Ouyang Ke's side. Dressed in a dark gray brocade robe, that man looked quite gentle, as if he was just a weak intellectual.
"It's been a long time, Brother Murong. How are you?"
Sky Murong gave a cold glance at him and said in a grim tone, "Ouyang Qing, stop acting like a bookish nerd. This Vigor Grass belongs to Murong family."
'Father needs this Vigor Grass to treat his strange illness. I must get it, whatever the cost.'
Hearing this, Ouyang Qing smiled gently, "Ouyang family happens to need this Vigor Grass as well. I'm afraid it won't be easy for Murong family to get it."
Sky Murong squinted and an aggressive look flashed across his black eyes. However, the next second, he abruptly flashed towards that Vigor Grass on the rock in the middle, planning to make the first move.
"So despicable!"
With a grim smile, Ouyang Qing flashed squarely towards him just as quick.
In the blink of an eye, two figures tangled with each other amid the flock of magic beasts. At the same time, other people on different sides also started fighting…
In the big tree, Yun Wu and Long Qingxie were hiding behind dense foliage. Their Qi was light and steady and both of the two Tier IX warriors hadn't detected them.
"The fight is pretty intense," watching the scrimmage down below, Long Qingxie amusingly curved his lips in a smile and turned his head aside, "Tiny, it seems to have become more difficult for you to take advantage of their fight."
Yun Wu raised her eyebrows but said nothing.
That was true. Although the two Tier IX kung fu experts were evenly matched, judging by their previous conversation, it was nearly impossible for her to wait for them to end up both seriously injured.
But even if the two wouldn't end up both seriously wounded, she would only have to go through just a little more trouble. Besides, she had this extremely powerful man on her side.
But at this moment.
Yun Wu suddenly felt a warm breath passed by her sensitive earlobe. Before she could react, the man put his arm around her waist.
Long Qingxie's deep voice was tinged with wickedness, "Give me a kiss and I'll join the fight. And then you can just go take the grass."
Yun Wu turned her head aside to evade his hot breath only to saw his deep, black eyes.
His eyes were as black as two deep pools, profound and incomprehensible.
A man like this was actually rather startling, and he also gave her a sense of insecurity, because so far, she still couldn't figure him out.
Long Qingxie also closely stared at her.
Her exquisite features were flawless, and her beauty was breath-taking, but her purple pupils were clean and the look in them bland.
Although her lips curved in a smile, it was not difficult for him to sense the absorbed, integrated blandness in her.
Like an ethereal white cloud floating high up in the sky, she gave him a feeling that he could never get close to her heart.
