284 Untitled (2/2)

Moments later, someone stood up and said, ”I'll gather more firewood. The fire is not hot enough.” She left before Tie Cheng could stop her.

She had just walked a few steps away when she suddenly kicked into something.

The object laid just right in the middle of the road. When it was stepped by Meng Fuyao, someone cried. ”You're stepping again! I really, really, really am getting angry!”

Meng Fuyao bent down and stepped even harder on the pretty face. Slowly, she wiped the soles of her shoes against the face. ”You can try to get even angrier.”

Coldly, she stared at the disheveled man. With just one look, she could tell that he was no simple man, and he seemed to have been injured, with his inner energy being locked. However, his appearance was quite attractive. He had beautiful eyes, and though he looked like a child, he was so handsome that it seemed to tempt people to have impure thoughts. Even now, while Meng Fuyao was still having a strong distaste towards men, she could not help but gravitate towards him. But this did not stop her from being aggressive. She wiped her shoes against both sides of the face, and she was determined to make those eyebrows look like dirt.

After wiping her shoes, she was satisfied. Just as she was about to cross over the man, she suddenly picked up a rancid odor. Rustling sounds were coming from the surrounding forest, and then, numerous black silhouettes appeared. As the smell of blood intensified, there was also the sound of animals sniffing. At the height of half a man, numerous beams of neon green glimmer shone.

Moments later, she heard Zhangsun Wuji rushing over and warning her, ”Fuyao be careful! It's the wolf pack!”

”Furry animals—”

A loud scream that shot through the sky caused Meng Fuyao's hair to stand on its ends, and the pack of wolves to take a step back. That person suddenly climbed up from the ground. Terrified, tear-stricken and disheveled, he pounced into Meng Fuyao's arms.

”I'm scared—”

”I'm scared…” Someone recklessly snuggled into Meng Fuyao's arms.

Quickly, Zhangsun Wuji turned around. He raised his eyebrows, and his fingers seemed to move, but somehow, he did not move from his position.

”Scared? My foot!” Meng Fuyao immediately slapped the man away and sent him flying towards the pack of wolves. She was thinking of adding another kick, but behind her, Lord Yuan Bao suddenly leaped onto the man's shoulders. As the man screamed even more terrifyingly, he threw all the spring onions and ginger that Meng Fuyao previously passed on the man's body.

'Let you hug the spring onions and ginger, and jump into the wolf pack. A scallion meat patty!'

'Who told you to be scared of furry animals!'

The meat patty flew and landed right in the center of the wolves. When he looked up and saw the surrounding wolves sniffing at him, he screamed, hugged his head and lifted his butt off the floor. Then, he lay there and stopped moving.

After taking a few steps away, Meng Fuyao took a look back as she was worried. However, her eyeballs fell off at sight. The wolves were actually hypnotized by the strange pose of the meat patty. They shuffled around but did not dare to move. One of them was starving and anxious, so it tried to bite down on the highly-lifted butt. The fangs caught hold of the robes and it flicked its head. Hence, there was a crisp sound of tearing. The window was opened…

”Aiya… my butt, ah….” It was another blood-curdling scream.

Hurriedly, Meng Fuyao walked back and ordered Tie Cheng, ”I'll pass it to you, go settle it!”

In a bad mood, Tie Cheng took out his knife and slashed down. There were howls and the splattering of the wolves' blood, and the man quickly climbed to his feet and watched from Tie Cheng's back.

”Good! Brother, this move of 'Divide Mt Hua' is agile and powerful. A simple move, but the way the strength is used must have been guided by an expert. How slick!

”This move is 'Viewing Moonlight from the Platform'? Ah, that's not right. It has been changed before, ah, ah, what a marvelous change! Must have been done by an expert!

”Good! You can even use these two moves together? What a forceful but amazing move! Ah, ah, Brother, your martial arts are incredible! Paragon of experts from three different schools! You only lack inner energy, just the inner energy that's left!”

Meng Fuyao stopped walking.

This man had such sharp eyes.

Tie Cheng's foundation was average, but as he had been serving as her bodyguard loyally, he was being guided by Zhangsun Wuji, Zhan Beiye, and Zong Yue. Zhangsun Wuji's martial arts style was fluid, Zong Yue's one was nimble, and Zhan Beiye's one was aggressive. All three characteristics were present in Tie Cheng's moves, and he could actually be considered an expert wielder if not for the lack of stronger inner energy. This man who looked like a nerd could actually point out all the sources of his martial arts just by watching a few moves. He was actually an expert at this.

And this man seemed as though he wasn't intending to hide the fact that he knew martial arts.

Meng Fuyao did not look back. She took a whiff at the air, which smelled even more rancid than before. Asking Tie Cheng to come over, she said, ”This is enough. There will be more and more wolves that are starving, so there is no need to waste your stamina on this. Tonight, we can't sleep here anymore. Let's trek down over the night.”

Tie Cheng obeyed and was about to keep his knife. However, the knife was stained with wolves' blood. Casually, he took the torn piece of the man's robes to wipe his knife clean, before returning the piece of cloth to him. The man looked at the cloth, which no longer looked like its original form after being stained with blood and mud, in a stunned manner. Miserably, he used it to cover his butt.

Without looking at him, Meng Fuyao started to walk downhill. The man, with one hand covering his butt, chased after her and screamed, ”Aiya, wait for me, don't leave me behind. I'll hire you guys as my bodyguards. I'll give you money, lots of money!”
