“Indeed, very exaggerated,” she said with a cold laugh. “Let’s go into the forest to find some truth. At least on the mountain, there’s this advantage.”
“Perhaps on such a strange mountain, we won’t find any truth.” Zou Ben shrugged, pulling her hand to continue forward.
“Hey, don’t talk nonsense!”
“I’m just saying.” He chuckled, looking around. “There really isn’t much here…”
In the forest, aside from a large area of dense fog, there was still just dense fog; one couldn’t see any truth at all.
“Zou Ben!”
The woman’s angry shout reached the heavens, and a kick landed directly on Zou Ben, who fell to the ground in pain.
“Ow!” He furrowed his brows, grimacing in pain.
Heaven pity him, he had once bravely shielded her during a fall at her home, hoping to lessen her injuries with his body, but now she repaid kindness with resentment, completely without mercy, kicking him. As the saying goes, the most poisonous are the hearts of women!
“Hey, didn’t I help you a bit before? More importantly, we’re on the same boat now. Who knows what wild beasts are lurking in this deep mountain forest, and before we even face external enemies, how can we start fighting among ourselves?”
“Who taught you to be so talkative, saying there’s no fruit? Now it turns out the only green things are trees.” At this, Xu Xianen wanted to kick him again.
She bent down to pick up the feather duster she had dropped on the ground while kicking him.
“Doesn’t matter, maybe if we walk a bit further, we’ll find a stream.” Zou Ben got up, patting the dust off his clothes and pants, which were almost worn out.
“Really? Even if there is, it’s raw water, can we drink it?” Xu Xianen pulled at her slightly torn clothes, frowning at the current messy situation. “Why did we only bring a duster and forget clothes? Who knows when we’ll have clothes to change into… Oh, it’s going to smell…”
“How can there be no clothes to change into?” He gave a cold laugh twice, “We can exchange clothes.”
