Chapter 177 - 177 Zhiying’s Jealousy
177 Zhiying’s Jealousy
Tang Yuanhua, Pang Ying, and the others watched the two little foxes slip out and heard the words ‘caught in the act of adultery’ from a distance. They all looked at them in bewilderment and then looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.
“Let’s follow.” After a long time, Tang Yuanhua finally gave an order. “Since they know each other, they should not be in great danger. Perhaps we can cooperate for the time being and explore this island.”
Pang Ying snorted coldly. “They might be acquainted with someone from Bi Luo Mansion. The fox demons are indeed demons… They came here to look for their lover. They already have a man at such a young age.
The person who had gone to the higher ground to check out the situation earlier laughed and said, “That person has two very pretty little girls with him. It seems like he’s into this kind of thing.”
“I just don’t know how he tricked his way into Mud Mountain,” someone added.
After a few random speculations and discussions, Tang Yuanhua clapped his hands and ordered them to quiet down and get ready.
“Since he could find his way here, he shouldn’t be a good person. Moreover, he found the clues before us, so it’s best to treat him as an enemy,” Pang Ying said.
“Be careful.” Tang Yuanhua nodded and muttered, “It’s best to observe for a while and stay alert.”
They followed the traces of Su Bi and Su Zhuang all the way to the side of the stone tablet. When they saw the young man and the four beautiful little girls, they felt as if they had entered the backyard of some dissolute evil young master in a sect.
They were stunned by this scene. They saw the white-robed girl, who looked the oldest among them, turn around and pull out her long sword, looking at the crowd with a murderous aura.
The girl had a slender figure and an exquisite face, but her eyes were cold and oppressive.
Especially the killing intent, it was just like the feeling of being stared at by the deformed and terrifying puppet in the tomb. It was terrifying.
Everyone’s hair stood on end. they knew that this wasn’t the backyard’s warble, but a poisonous spider that was choosing people to eat.
Whoosh, whoosh!
Everyone took out their weapons and looked at the girl vigilantly. The atmosphere was a little tense.
The two parties had met in a narrow path at such a crucial place regarding the Martial Emperor’s inheritance. If it were not for the two little foxes’ sudden arrival, both parties would have already started fighting. Now, they were still in a moderate state.
The two little foxes tugged at the corner of Liu Yuan’s clothes and explained, “Those are the Immortal cultivators who came in with us. They are from the Green Centipede.”
Liu Yuan nodded and looked helplessly at Zhiying who was suddenly angry.
He walked forward and reached out to stroke Zhiying’s head. He said in a low voice, “Don’t be angry.”
Zhiying was expressionless and said indifferently, “I’m not angry.”
Which part of her doesn’t look angry?
It was fine before, but after he put on clothes on her, something suddenly went wrong.
In the past, Zhiying had always been very calm and even indifferent. She would never make decisions on her own and would listen to Liu Yuan. Most importantly, she had always hidden in the dark. Every time she moved, she would move quietly. Even when she showed her face, she would maintain a very low sense of existence and try not to let others notice her.
But this time, she took the initiative to pull out her sword, and she did not hide, as if she intended to fight head-on, which was very unusual.
This was the first time she had ever shown off so much in front of others.
There were already signs of this when he saw Hong Luan. Now, the appearance of the two little foxes and the long period of happy interaction between Liu Yuan and them seemed to have ignited a fuse in Ying’s heart, causing the always-calm young lady to reveal her impatient side.
Liu Yuan felt like he was smelling jealousy.
This was a subtle change that even the young girl herself did not notice. Or rather, she did not know what kind of feeling it was, so she did not know how to deal with it…
Liu Yuan asked the girl to put down her sword and wait for orders. However, Zhiying’s actions were not as obedient as before. She slowly walked to stand behind him, as if she needed to be coaxed. However, they were in front of other people, so Liu Yuan could not do anything intimate. He could only let her be quiet for the time being.
The atmosphere eased up slightly, but it was still not good.
Tang Yuanhua and the others also looked at Liu Yuan again. Since the young girl who revealed such a murderous intent listened to him, it meant that this young man was the one leading them.
Even the two little foxes were now obediently snuggling in his arms.
At such an age, with such distinctive characteristics, he should be someone important.
However, no one could find any useful clues after searching in their minds.
It was as if he had appeared out of thin air. None of the famous new-generation in the Immortal cultivation world met this requirement.
If one were to say that he always had many beautiful women by his side, one would guess that this man was the ‘Love Guru Prince’, Ji Wen. However, as a world-famous handsome man, who did not know what Ji Wen looked like? He definitely did not look like this young man.
Tang Yuanhua was the first to speak. “As the two from Mud Mountain have said, this is the Green Centipede’s team. I am Tang Yuanhua. May I ask who you are?”
“I am a nobody, surnamed Liu, first name Yuan.” Liu Yuan replied, “It’s not easy to find the Martial Emperor’s inheritance. Why don’t we work together temporarily? How about we wait until we find them and then rely on our own abilities? At least I know Su Bi and Su Zhuang, so I can trust them more than meeting strangers.”
The Green Centipede had to sign a contract before going on a mission. Otherwise, if the people in the team were to act blindly, their efficiency would definitely plummet. Before the mission was completed, they were not allowed to kill each other.
Tang Yuanhua and the others did not expect him to be so straightforward.
However, such straightforward words made them feel a little more at ease. If he was just pretending to be polite, it seemed like he had a scheme.
Tang Yuanhua did not agree immediately. Instead, he said, “What is this stone tablet?”
Liu Yuan turned to look at the stone tablet and smiled, “I didn’t even have time to check it out before I was interrupted by these two little fellows.”
Su Bi puffed up her cheeks. “This thing is here anyway. It doesn’t run like you. It’s fine if you look at it a little later.”
Liu Yuan could only agree obediently.
“Why don’t I give this opportunity to you guys?” he said to those people.
Hearing Liu Yuan’s words, Tang Yuanhua’s team immediately began to whisper among themselves. Tang Yuanhua cupped his hands and said loudly, “Thank you for your kind intentions, fellow Daoist. However, you were the one who discovered it, so how could we shamelessly come and take advantage of you?”
clearly, he didn’t trust Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan’s plan to use people to test the waters failed. He shook his head regretfully and said, “Fine, then let me take a look. It’s really rare to see someone as humble as Brother Tang these days.”
Tang Yuanhua suddenly felt embarrassed. He coughed twice and said, “You’re too kind.”
They watched as Liu Yuan reached out to touch the suspicious-looking stone tablet.
Suddenly, a woman’s cry for help could be heard from afar.
