Chapter 143.2: Strange Within Strange (1/2)

Xiao Dao was panicking even more because Tang Doudou wasn’t responding. He didn’t know what to do.

Yu Fenger finally snapped back to his senses and went ‘Ah.’ He went over to slap Jin Longbiao awake, before walking toward Xiao Dao.

“Scram!”

Xiao Dao thought Yu Fenger was here to continue robbing them. He said with a cold expression, “Do you know who she is!? Golden Wind Jade Dew, you guys should be prepared to die without a burial site for having injured her today!”

Although he spoke fiercely, he was despairing within. If Golden Wind Jade Dew really killed Tang Doudou, she couldn’t be brought back to life even if Master hacked them to pieces.

Lady Doudou, I’m nothing but a servant, what reason was there for you to stake your life in order to save me!?

Yu Fenger had been scared out of his wits by Tang Doudou earlier. They had been mountain bandits for many years but have never taken a life before. They only acted fiercely in order to scare people. Even if Tang Doudou didn’t act earlier, Long Jinbiao still wouldn’t have really crushed Xiao Dao to death.

Upon seeing Tang Doudou currently in this condition, he started feeling sympathy for her. “You, don’t misunderstand. I came over because I wanted to say that you should hurry and find a doctor to treat her since she’s heavily injured…”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Dao was stunned for a moment before he immediately berated himself for being a blockhead. He lifted Tang Doudou up and wanted to run.

Seeing this, Yu Fenger hastily moved to block his way. With a face full of disdain, he said, “Where are you planning on taking her? This place is still half a day’s distance from Cloud Semblance Garrison. Do you know how long it’ll take going by foot?”

Xiao Dao stopped. He had no idea what to do.

Yu Fenger nudged Jin Longbiao who was still blanking out and said to Xiao Dao, “Our mountain stronghold is just ahead. Why don’t you bring her to the stronghold and settle her down first? There’s a doctor in our stronghold and he can make sure her condition doesn’t worsen for the time being. After that, you can go and bring a good doctor here. How’s that?”

Xiao Dao didn’t speak. There was no doubt that this was currently the most feasible method. He had also received internal injuries before so he knew it was very likely that Tang Doudou would die due to her internal organs bleeding before they even make it to Cloud Semblance Garrison.

As if he could tell what Xiao Dao was thinking, Yu Fenger continued, “Even though we, Golden Wind Jade Dew, are mountain bandits, we’ve always abided by the rules: only seek money, not lives. As long as you give us money, we will definitely look after this person carefully for you!”

Xiao Dao was convinced. It was both because there was no other choice right now and because although Golden Wind Jade Dew were notorious in the Jianghu, there had never been any news of them killing people.

Forget it, death laid to the left and the right. At least there was still a thin chance of survival if he went to their stronghold!

Xiao Dao turned around and warned, “Don’t try anything funny or I’ll make you guys pay!”

Seeing that he had agreed to the idea, Yu Fenger’s smile immediately became even brighter than a flower as he nodded hastily. “Don’t worry!”

For some reason, Xiao Dao felt like something was off.

Yu Fenger’s abnormal reaction caused Xiao Dao to be more on guard inwardly. He silently followed the two bandits towards the so-called stronghold. Behind their backs, he left a sign, requesting for assistance.
