Chapter 130 Forced love is indeed sweet
The moment it fell into the withered leaves, Huali let out a muffled groan as her teeth struck Shen Yu's wrist.
As a sharp, aching pain struck, the earthy taste mixed with grass clippings spread between her lips and teeth, and Huali almost despaired, thinking that her front tooth was broken.
A muffled groan, distorted in tone, came from above. "You're like a dog?"
Huali was furious. "Your sister!" she mumbled back. As soon as she spoke, she tasted the metallic flavor on her tongue.
The two of them twisted together and fell down the slope into a pit of fallen leaves. Their clothes and faces were covered in mud, and the ribbon that Shen Yu used to tie her hair was somehow wrapped around Hua Li's neck, while the hairpin on her head was stuck in Shen Yu's collar.
"Still not letting go? Believe me or I'll break your jaw?" Shen Yu tried to get up with one hand, but Hua Li quickly grabbed his leg and pulled him back. "Want to leave? Touch my card first."
The back of her head slammed against the ditch with a thud. Shen Yu immediately sneered and reached out to pinch the soft flesh on Hua Li's leg, and as she wished, she heard a muffled groan.
"You bastard! Where are you touching!"
"Are you still biting? Let go or I'll break your teeth!"
The two of them pinched and bit each other, fighting in the pit with both hands and feet.
In the chaos, it was unclear whose knee struck whose abdomen; it was a case of injuring the enemy a thousand while losing eight hundred of one's own. Two cries of pain echoed in the damp air at the bottom of the pit.
They held their breath the instant Fang Kai approached.
Fallen leaves swirled and landed on Huali's nose. Amidst the smells of blood and mud, she suddenly caught a whiff of the bitter scent of grass and roots on the other person.
It wasn't the soft, grassy scent of Jiangnan, permeated by misty rain, but rather the wildness of needlegrass and reeds crushed by the long winds of the northern frontier, carrying the unique untamed spirit of youth.
Hua Li has set up a regeneration field here, and Fang Kai is clearly looking for them.
While holding her breath and concentrating, Huali didn't forget to reach out and nudge Chenyu. Seeing him looking over, she quickly urged him with her eyes, "Go for it!"
Shen Yu raised an eyebrow. Why don't you go up?
Even at this point, he's still acting all high and mighty with her? Fang Kai is clearly determined not to give up until he finds them; if this drags on any longer, it'll be dark soon.
Seeing that the girl was about to make a move, Shen Yu stepped forward and covered her mouth, whispering in her ear, "Calm down, it's not time yet."
Before Huali could nod, Shenyu suddenly froze.
The girl's warm breath brushed against his fingers, like restless grass seeds in the spring breeze of the grassland, the itchy sensation shooting along the lines of his palm to the back of his neck.
Having grown up surrounded by men, Shen Yu belatedly realized that this person was not his colleague, but a girl.
This realization made him pull his hand back as if he'd been electrocuted, his ear tips burning red faster than the setting sun over the grasslands.
Fang Kai, who had been searching for a long time, looked gloomy. "They actually got away, damn it!" Resentment flashed in his eyes. The moment he turned around and activated the talisman, Shen Yu moved.
Before Huali could even see his movements clearly, the boy had already sprang up like a bowstring, the Lone Deer Sword cutting through the mist and shooting straight at Fang Kai's back, piercing his shoulder with a single strike.
"You!" Fang Kai was shocked. Despite the excruciating pain, he raised his hand to gather his energy, and the talisman transformed into a spirit blade that swept straight towards Shen Yu's throat.
Shen Yu used the backward leaning posture to push off the ground and retreat quickly. As the sword tip deflected the spirit blade, a bloody mark appeared on his face.
"Right now!"
"Ksitigarbha Entanglement, emerge!"
As the voices overlapped, the rock dragon burst from the ground and wrapped itself around Fang Kai. Chen Yu flipped his wrist, and the Lone Deer Sword pierced directly into the opponent's heart.
The sound of bones shattering rang out, Fang Kai's eyes widened, and he collapsed to the ground, spitting blood.
Shen Yu and Hua Li quickly exchanged glances, surprised that their first collaboration was so surprisingly harmonious.
In the cultivation world, the strong prey on the weak. Fang Kai's moves were deadly, and if he is not eliminated now, he will become a great threat in the future.

Tang Wanwan, who had been waiting anxiously at the courtyard gate for a long time, asked, "Where have they gone? Why aren't they back yet?"
Although that troll was a bit sharp-tongued, she wasn't so rude as to kill someone to silence them. She even managed to survive when she charged at him with her sword.
Zhao Heng, who was standing to the side, also frowned. "Let Xiao Ta and I go out and look for them."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Ao Bai on the wall suddenly stood up and returned, meowing.
As the teleportation array at the entrance lit up, two figures wrestled and stepped out.
"It really won't affect you, just touch it once!"
"You're spouting nonsense, who would believe you!"
Tang Wanwan looked at Huali, who had been all smooth and shiny when she left that morning, now with disheveled hair and mud all over her face. In that instant, she understood the look on her father's face when he first saw her at Baiyun Mountain.
"You hit her?" Tang Wanwan asked angrily, pulling Huali behind her.
When she turned her gaze, she realized that Shen Yu wasn't much better off than Hua Li.
The high ponytail tie was crooked, there was a bloody mark on her face, and two large front teeth marks were imprinted on her wrist.
It looks even worse than the rosewood.
She was taken aback. "What are you doing here?"
Huali nodded heavily, "Mutual fight."
Tang Wanwan's heart sank to the Pacific Ocean. After giving Huali a thumbs up, she turned and sneered, "You actually hit a woman?"
Shen Yu ignored her and turned to leave.
Huali reacted quickly, running over and poking him in the back while simultaneously grabbing the fire-type card. "Hey, big..."
"I'm not called Big Rooster!" The boy turned his head, his ponytail whipping in a half-circle of golden light, the setting sun casting its glow on his furrowed brows. "My name is Shen Yu! If I ever hear you say those three words again..."
The two were standing too close, and the end of Shen Yu's hair brushed against Hua Li's eye.
"Chen..." Huali hurriedly closed her eyes, tears instantly welling up in her eyelashes. She reflexively rubbed the corner of her eye, leaving a rosy red mark.
Shen Yu frowned and turned around, "I already told you not to..." His voice suddenly caught in his throat, "...You cried?"
Huali looked up: "Huh?"
Just as she was about to wave her hand and say it was nothing, Shen Yu suddenly stepped forward and snatched the fire card from her hand. "Is it really necessary! What a hassle!"
Huali: "?!!"
The black iron wristband grazed the red string on Huali's wrist, and as she looked up, the card was already thrown back.
One of the little stars on the fire-type card lit up as hoped.
"Wuhu~" The girl, whose eyes were red just now, changed her expression in a second!
Ao Bai jumped off the wall, and the evil cat laughed, "As expected of the host, the fire-type card has been successfully upgraded to SR. The host's strength can now rival that of a peak Golden Core cultivator!"
Shen Yu was startled by Ao Bai's sudden appearance and took a step back. After confirming that his spiritual power was not damaged, he snorted and turned to leave.
Just as Huali was about to say thank you, the door was slammed shut by him.
Shen Yu returned to the courtyard, and his personal guard Chang Liu immediately went to greet him, "Young Master, are you going to train?"
The aftershocks of the door latch falling had not yet subsided when Shen Yu was about to speak when a girl's cheerful voice suddenly came from above.
"Chen Yu!" A fluffy head popped out from the wall covered with camellias. Hua Li's hands were cupped into a trumpet shape. "I forgot to tell you earlier, my name is Hua Li."
"Don't worry, I won't call you 'big' anymore—"
"Shut up!" Unable to bear it any longer, Shen Yu grabbed a peach from the table and threw it at the camellia behind the wall next to her head.
