C273 (2/2)

Li Chengjun, who had relaxed his guard, activated his poison. He touched the blood at the corner of his lips and pointed his sword at the two swordsmen, ”You guys are still far from being able to play poison with me.”

Luo Lingwei stumbled and ran into the dense forest behind her. The dense forest in the mountain was mostly made up of old trees that had been here for a hundred years. Yuzhou City had heard that a fairy had descended on Sunset Mountains. In order not to disturb the goddess's rest, few people came to the mountain except for the usual green ceremonies.

There were few people living on the Sunset Mountains all year round, and there was no one setting up camp on the barren hills. The bandits of Yuzhou City were probably afraid that the Heavenly Lady would punish them, so they all avoided this magical mountain forest. Other than clearing away the relatively short shrubs on the precipitous rocks, they could barely find a foothold.

From the distance came the cry of a crow. Luo Lingwei, who didn't believe in ghosts or gods, had experienced going through the system. I'm really scared of how to break it...

Using the moonlight, Luo Lingwei leaned against an old tree that they could barely surround with their arms crossed. She weakly asked the system, ”How is it, are there any more pursuers?”

System: ”No, the pursuers took Li Chengjun away. The two sides seem to have reached some sort of agreement. ”

Trade? What deal? It couldn't be a Py deal, could it? Luo Lingwei shook her head to clear her mind of the colourful waste. With one deep and one shallow step, she walked up the mountain. Who knew if there were people at the foot of the mountain who were just sitting back and waiting to take advantage of the situation.

With the system's timer, Luo Lingwei crawled for more than an hour, her stomach growling in hunger.

Was there anyone on the mountain?

Luo Lingwei was entertaining herself as she recalled the novels she had read in the modern era. The novels said that a reclusive scholar would appear in the depths of the mountain forest, or that the mastermind would then reclaim the role and come up with some ideas to reach the peak of life.

Happily, perhaps the heavens had heard her prayer. Deep in the woods, a small courtyard had actually appeared.

”Ah, there's someone?!” Luo Lingwei happily ran over.

The small courtyard wasn't big, and there was an old woman in her seventies sitting at the entrance taking a nap, bored out of her mind. The old woman was too old and too weak to keep her silver hair loose in the rocking chair.

Luo Lingwei was too embarrassed to wake her up, but she was really hungry so she lowered her voice and called out, ”Grandma, Grandma?”

The grandma's spirit was not as bad as Luo Lingwei had expected. She opened her eyes and looked at Luo Lingwei with a radiant look.

”Why did this lady come here alone?”

The old granny's voice was indescribably aged.

Luo Lingwei lowered her head to look at her mud-stained clothes and the torn and tattered appearance of the tree branch hook. Her expression was a little gloomy, she had used her whole life's acting skills to brew up two drops of tears.

Seeing that she was unwilling to speak, the old woman also stopped asking and pulled Luo Lingwei into the room.

”Come in quickly. The poor child must be hungry after running all the way, right?”

Luo Lingwei was moved by the sudden warmth of the stranger. There were still many good people in this world. In this modern era where everyone was on guard against one another, the number of people who could help out were truly few.

The old granny kindly held Luo Lingwei's hand, inviting her to sit down. She considerately brought in some delicious food, ”You pitiful girl, how did you end up in this forest?”

The old granny's grip was very strong, it was painful to grip Luo Lingwei's hand.

”No, nothing. Just separated from my family. ” Luo Lingwei forcefully retracted her hand while smiling.

Looking at the granny's kind smile, Luo Lingwei felt a strange sixth sense.

The old granny considerately poured a bowl of hot water for Luo Lingwei.

The steaming hot water was a great comfort to Luo Lingwei's exhausted body. Luo Lingwei thought to herself that she still had a hundred years of Netherworld Pill to drink. As expected, after drinking the water, her mind became muddle-headed. Luo Lingwei sneered.

As expected, people were not trustworthy.
