"It didn't seem like it wanted to bite me."

The torch fell from her hand, and Ye Nuan was thrown to the ground. The ferocious wolf king kept rubbing his fur against her face, sniffing her wrist. When he smelled the crescent-shaped birthmark, he licked it back and forth, whimpering anxiously, and digging at the burnt yellow soil with his claws.

Su held the stone and didn't dare to relax: "What is it doing?"

Ye Nuan's hands felt itchy from being licked.

Knowing that animals have a keen sense of smell, the wolf must have known that she was carrying the spiritual spring, but unfortunately there was no water in it, and it was very anxious.

"Mom, dog." Ye Xiaohu took a step with his short legs and suddenly hugged the wolf's head, scaring Su out of her wits.

However, the wolf did not bite Ye Xiaohu, but just circled around Ye Nuan, howling softly.

Everyone looked at this strange scene, and they were horrified. At the same time, they felt that this little girl was really unpredictable. It would be better not to provoke her in the future if possible.

Su threw the stone and cautiously approached the wolf. Seeing that it wasn't paying attention, she picked up the giggling Ye Xiaohu. Ye Xiaohu leaned halfway out and called out, "Mom, I want to play with the dog." His voice was innocent and childish, and he didn't sense any danger at all.

"That's a wolf, it eats people!"

That's a wolf, it eats people.

The wolf was now interested in his spiritual spring. If there was no water, it might bite him. Ye Nuan was quick to take a piece of prickly pear cactus and stuff it into its mouth. He picked up the torch from the ground and called to Su, "Hurry up and go."

The leaf was stained with Ye Nuan's scent. After the wolf took two bites, when he looked up again, Ye Nuan and his group had already run away.

It immediately spat out the prickly pear leaves and followed closely. In the weeds, pairs of dark green eyes followed everyone, unable to shake them off.

Don't get close, don't attack, just follow.

The more this happens, the scarier it is!

The stars gradually faded, the thick fog began to spread, and when the last torch went out, everyone's hearts were tightened, and they were always on guard against the wolves pouncing on them.

However, they had no intention of eating people and continued to follow closely.

Ye Xiaohu had already fallen asleep in Su's arms. When the sky was getting light, they walked out of the long grassy field.

Smoke rose in the distance, and people lay on the ground cheering.

Su's palms were sweaty as she held Ye Xiaohu. Ye Nuan opened the water bag and handed it to her: "Mom, drink some water."

Su drank some water to calm down her fear and muttered, "Why don't the wolves eat people?"

Ye Nuan casually replied, "I guess they dislike our skinny bodies and lack of flesh, so they're making us choke!"

It was already dawn and everyone rested for a while. The sound of horse hooves came from afar.

The sound of the horse drinking came from far away.

"Someone is passing by, someone!"

The crowd, some sitting and some lying down, began to stir. Several of them stood up and began shouting at the approaching horsemen, hoping that they would stop and show some mercy.

More than thirty dark horses came roaring and galloping, with the riders shouting and cracking whips, and the sounds of whistles and laughter mixed together.

"Brothers, the two-legged sheep are coming!"

"Ha ha ha ha!!!"

Ye Nuan's brows knitted together, as if she had thought of something. She grabbed Su and ran, "Mom, it's horse bandits!" How could she be so unlucky, having just escaped from a wolf pack, she found herself in a bandit pack. Horse bandits were known for their murderous and robbing tendencies, even scarier than wolves.

The people who stood up and shouted in front of them also realized something was wrong. After hearing Ye Nuan's shout, they turned around and ran away. However, after running a few steps, the horse bandits surrounded everyone and played a prank by throwing up yellow dust all over the ground.

He looked at the frightened people in the circle with a ferocious face.

It was already impossible to run away, so Ye Nuan pulled Su and quickly retreated. Ye Xiaohu was frightened awake and grabbed his mother's collar, not daring to cry.

"Fuck, they are criminals from Beichen, there is nothing to steal!" One of the horse bandits stopped first.

Ye Nuan turned to look. The man on the Hummer had thick eyebrows and eagle eyes, a dark complexion, and even his coarse, gray clothes couldn't hide his fierce energy. His rough hands gripped the reins, and his sharp eyes scanned the faces of everyone. When he met Ye Nuan's gaze, he let out a soft "hmm."

The short, skinny man next to him pointed a machete at them and said, "Boss, you can take the woman back to have babies, but you can kill the man."

The bandits' laughter echoed around them. One of them rode his horse upside down and charged into the crowd, sending them fleeing in all directions. Ye Nuan was shoved hard from behind, and she was caught off guard and bumped right into the bandit leader's horse.

The black horse snorted, and Ye Nuan took two steps back in fright.

"A Nuan!" Su shouted.

The man on horseback grabbed Ye Nuan's waist with a whip, and pulled her hard with one hand, instantly pulling her onto the horse's back. He laughed and said, "Good idea, this girl has beautiful eyes, she belongs to me!" The other horse bandits started to make fun of her.

Ye Nuan was trapped in front of the horse and struggled hard.

Su held Ye Xiaohu in one hand, picked up the stones on the ground with the other hand and rushed forward: "I will fight you."

The horse bandit leader who trapped Ye Nuan snorted coldly, "You overestimate your own abilities!" He unsheathed his scimitar, squeezed the horse's belly hard, and rushed out.

The bandits' scimitars were swift and fierce; if they struck Su, the Su family would surely be dead. Ye Nuan's pupils shrank sharply, and she opened her mouth to bite the hand holding the knife. She bit hard, her tongue tasting the smell of earth and a strong fishy flavor.

The bandit's wrist hurt, but he held the machete tightly in his hand. Ye Nuan got anxious and stabbed him in the eye with her right hand. He put away the machete and leaned back, and the stone in Su's hand happened to hit him, causing blood to splatter everywhere.

Wei Qian had never suffered such a loss before, but today, he was pecked in the eyes by two women. A fierce gleam flashed in his eyes, and he whipped the horse whip, throwing Ye Nuan off the horse's back. Even so, he still felt unsatisfied and simply swung the whip at her again.

That horse whip was no ordinary horse whip. It was wrapped with a thin piece of fine iron, and the fine iron was covered with inverted black thorns. On normal days, when he had no murderous intention, he would use one side of the soft vine to whip the horse's back and play with the person. When the murderous intention was present, the black thorns would not show any mercy.

Ye Nuan had encountered all kinds of people and faced countless crises before, but never anything as terrifying as this. The coarse cloth covering her face was torn away, and the sharp barbs, gleaming coldly, pressed against her cheek.

At that moment she thought she was going to die.

Suddenly, her waist tightened, and she flew backwards rapidly. The next second, her belly fell heavily on the horse's back. The prickly pear in her arms prickled her brows. But a hand was still pressing on her back, seemingly light, but she felt a thousand pounds of weight.

When he regained consciousness, he saw a jet-black knife with tiny cracks crisscrossing the blade surface. The cracks extended from the tip of the knife, which was glowing with a cold light, to the equally jet-black handle. On the handle was inlaid a gem that was shining red.

The crescent-shaped birthmark on Ye Nuan's wrist felt slightly warm.

She couldn't help but complain: Xiao Poquan, is he a money-eating beast?

How can you not see good things?

"Boss Wei, we meet again!" The owner of the black knife spoke in a frivolous and casual voice, but his words were filled with overwhelming contempt.

The surroundings fell into silence. Ye Nuan was a little confused about the situation. She tried hard to climb up from the horse's back, but the hand on her back didn't move at all. She moved her hand upwards to grab the horse's mane, but something slipped into her palm, warm yet a little cold.

It seems to be jade!

My wrist started to feel hot again.

Snap! The jade pendant on my palm seemed to crack!

Wei Qian was still furious. He squinted his eyes and looked at the newcomer. He gritted his teeth and sneered, "City Lord Qi, do you like this woman too? I don't want her because she's so ugly. If you like her, just take her." As he spoke, he quickly looked around and saw that only Qi Wuze was there. He sneered in his heart.

He's really looking for death!

The other bandits all laughed. The woman had her head covered, and her eyes were really pretty, and her figure was slim and tall. Who would have thought that she had such an ugly face under the veil?

Qi Wuze lowered his head and caught a glimpse of Ye Nuan's scarred right face and her watery eyes filled with fear.

His expression remained unchanged, but he spoke sternly, "What do you know? A woman's beauty is never in her face, but in her eyes. The more spirit in her eyes, the more charming she is. Bandits like you have only known how to kill and rob people all day long. Your vision is narrow!"

"In my opinion, this girl is a rare beauty, with a unique bone structure!"

Wei Qian narrowed his eyes, impatient to talk back at him: "I think you are blind, brothers, go! Kill Qi Wuze, seize Luomu City, and tomorrow I will be the Lord of Luomu City!"

"Kill Qi Wuze!"

Excitement flashed in the eyes of the other bandits.

Qi Wuze is alone today!

Qi Wuze? Luomu City. The purple-clothed woman seemed to have mentioned Luomu City. It was the original habitat of the people in the wasteland.

The person who saved him was called Qi Wuze, the lord of Luomu City?

At least he is an official, and the lives of these people should be saved.

A whistle blew, a falcon streaked across the sky, and the clatter of horses' hooves pierced the scorching sun as they descended upon the enemy. Ye Nuan, crouching on her horse's back, looked up as more cavalrymen gathered around her. The man in the lead wore gray armor, his face rough and fierce, a typical plateau appearance.

A roar came from the ground, rough and heroic: "Damn it, kill this bandit!"

Wei Qian screamed and cursed: "Fuck, Qi Wuze, what kind of ambush is that! Brothers, let's go!" Qi Wuze must have known that they were going out, so he was waiting to catch them all in one fell swoop.

They didn't go to Luomu City to rob, so why bother catching them every day!

"Where are you going? To the King of Hell's Palace?" Qi Wuze sneered, flipping the black knife, and the red gem dazzled Ye Nuan's eyes.

The horse neighed and galloped after him like a flash of lightning. The blade grazed the back of Wei Qian's neck, and a piece of hair was immediately broken.

The hair, which had no eyes, covered Ye Nuan's face. She was nearly vomiting from the shaking. She scratched around uncomfortably, and her hand accidentally touched the jade belt around his waist. Her wrist immediately began to heat up again, and she wanted to cry but had no tears.

I really didn’t mean it!

Qi Wuze's belt is inlaid with broken jade all over, and the jade on the front button is the largest and of the best quality.

He had just cut off a tuft of Wei Qian's hair when his waist suddenly opened.

The robe was untied, and there was a soft, boneless hand on the waist.

He frowned and a hint of hatred flashed in his eyes.

I shouldn't have saved this woman.

He raised his hand and threw the man on the horse to the ground. Fortunately, the force was not strong. Ye Nuan rolled twice and climbed up safely, still holding the jade belt in his hand.

A group of people fled in all directions. Su ran up to her, looked her up and down, and asked nervously, "Ah Nuan, are you okay?"

Ye Nuan shook her head as she watched Qi Wuze, his robes flung open, charge into the bandits with a murderous aura. He slashed with his boots, slamming them down onto Wei Qian's horse's belly with such force that it flipped over.

There was blood at the corner of Wei Qian's mouth. He glanced around and suddenly rushed towards Ye Nuan. He was fast and agile, with a knife behind him breaking through the air.
