To my amazement, I saw him give a wicked smile, leap down smoothly, and land beside the young girl.
Without mercy, he grabbed her with one hand and pinched her chin, smiling seductively: “How do you go up the mountain?”
My internal alarm bells rang immediately. Why did he have to be the one to go? If the girl said one more “no,” she’d probably have her neck twisted! I clearly saw Xiao Zi’s fingers slithering around her pure white neck. Panicking, I leaped over the railing.
“This path…” Han Le’er said, slightly dazed, pointing out the mountain path. This gentleman was beautiful, not inferior to Brother Hao Bai, but with a seductive charm. Her heart raced at his tender gaze.
I crashed down, landing awkwardly and falling flat. Are you kidding? This works? Can’t she see Xiao Zi is interrogating, not seducing?!
Xiao Zi, stunned for a moment, gave a wicked smile upon my arrival: “Thanks.” He casually released her, waving in front of me to show he hadn’t killed anyone, then pointed to the second path: “This one.”
As we walked away, Han Le’er snapped out of her daze: What had she just done? She liked Brother Hao Bai, how could she be so easily swayed? Determined not to let that evil woman see him, she quickly took a shortcut back.
Shi Ran was also a bit stunned. Although she knew she was from modern times, she didn’t expect her to be so powerful.
“Alright, everyone, let’s GO!” I laughed triumphantly at the peach blossom barrier I had blown apart. A few rotten trees wouldn’t stop me from pursuing beauty!
Handsome man, here I come!
Charging up the mountain, I stopped in front of a row of bamboo houses, charmingly nestled among the trees.
The door creaked open, and an old man with white hair walked out, slightly hunched but with bright eyes: “May I ask what brings you distinguished guests here?”
I stepped forward, grasping his hand: “Yes, I’m here to find my husband.”
“Find a husband?” The old man’s voice rose slightly.
