"Yes, they're back! Oh my god, the king has appeared! He's nearby, or maybe he's already home. He's in the southeast. Baihe, I have to hurry and tell Baihe..." This immense joy enveloped every pore of Biyu's body, making her feel like she couldn't breathe properly.

After a moment of stunned silence, she held the withered grass in her hands, turned around, and walked back...

As if sensing something, Bai He turned back. As she passed a bamboo grove by the embankment, the river wind was biting and there were even fewer pedestrians. The path in the grove was rather long, and a sense of unease vaguely drifted out from the bottom of her heart.

Bai He lowered her head, hugged her shoulders, and quickened her pace.

At that moment, she did not notice that deep in the bamboo forest to her left, a sliver of firelight flickered in the dim woods.

"Thump!" Bai He was walking too fast and bumped into someone's chest. At the same time, "smack!" a cell phone fell to the ground.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Bai He didn't even have time to look up before she bowed repeatedly.

"Hmph!" A strange, hunchbacked man bent down to pick up the phone and stood up. The man was probably in his twenties, with a pointed face and black tattoos on both sides of his neck. He was wearing a red down jacket, which was open, revealing a floral shirt underneath. He looked like a lowly scoundrel.

The little punk glanced at his phone, a smirk playing on his lips, then looked at Bai He sideways and touched his mustache.

"I'm sorry, I accidentally bumped into your phone." Bai He bowed again, trying to walk past him.

"Stop! You think an apology is enough? Heh heh!" The scoundrel sneered and suddenly reached out to stop Bai He.

"What do you want?" Bai He couldn't get any closer, so she had to raise her head and look at the man coldly. "Your phone isn't broken."

"Who said it wasn't broken? The phone won't even turn on." The scoundrel pressed a button on the phone's surface, and sure enough, the screen went black.

"Then I don't have the money to keep you company either." Bai He spread her hands, indicating her helplessness.

"If you don't have money to pay, you can pay with your body!" Seeing Bai He's pretty face and agile figure, this scoundrel had already set his sights on something wicked. His triangular eyes gleamed with lust as he reached out to grab Bai He. "I think you're quite pretty, little girl. I like you a lot. You don't have to pay with your phone. Be my girlfriend. Let's go into this bamboo forest and have a good talk..."

The scoundrel grinned wickedly and dragged Bai He along the path they had just come from...

"You, you let me go." Bai Hehua's face paled as she struggled violently. However, her spiritual power was already weak, and she had already paid a heavy price in searching for Mo Tian. At this moment, she was clearly exhausted.

The little rascal was surprisingly strong and was about to drag Baihe into the bamboo forest.

"Let me go! Help!" In his desperation, Baihe shouted, his heart filled with remorse. He shouldn't have separated from Biyu; now, seeing no one around, it seemed his chances of survival were slim.

"Hahaha, it's no use shouting. This voice sounds nice. I can't take it anymore." The little scoundrel panted as soon as he entered the bamboo forest. He casually took off his clothes and threw them on the ground. He turned around and pounced on Bai He, slamming her to the ground with a "plop".

"Let go!" Bai He's face turned deathly pale, and she instantly broke down. Her hands were already pinned down, and she tried to kick, but because of her petite stature, she only managed two kicks before being pinned down by the other person's thighs...

The situation is extremely critical!

"Shameless!" A sharp shout suddenly rang out, and the scoundrel felt a chill run down his spine...
