Cen Xi chuckled, then put her arm around Tian Ying's waist, pinched it, and then smiled as she told Jun Jianchou to lead the way.
Jun Jianchou shook his head at Chenxi's shameless behavior, said nothing, and walked ahead.
While Tian Ying was being held captive by Cen Xi, a million thoughts raced through her mind. What kind of woman was this? As a Miao girl, she simply couldn't understand her.
Since she couldn't win the argument, keeping quiet was the safest and most reliable method, so she decisively chose to ignore the woman.
"What, you don't want to talk about it? Sigh, actually I know. Anyway, it's not like I haven't been through that kind of thing before. I understand how you feel right now. Do you still want to go tonight? If you do, I'll let you guys keep watch."
Seeing Tian Ying pouting her cute face, Cen Xi couldn't help but reach out and pinch Tian Ying's cheek again, his teasing tone quite suggestive.
"Do you even have a heart? My father is dead, how can you still be thinking about such things? Are you heartless, or do you simply lack any sense of propriety or shame?"
Tian Ying silently slapped Cen Xi's hand away from touching her chin, her face full of indignation.
This made Jun Jianchou, who was walking in front, unable to help but chuckle.
"I am shameless, and most people can't reach my level. So, little girl, no matter if you curse me to my face or in your heart countless times, I will still treat you like my first love."
Cen Xi, like a spineless person, draped all his weight over Tian Ying, taking shamelessness to the extreme.
Jun Jianchou listened from the front, his smile never stopping; it had been a long time since he had seen Cen Xi with such a face.
Clearly, Tian Ying was very much to her liking.
"you!"
Tian Ying had never seen a woman so readily admit that she was shameless, and she was so speechless that she couldn't utter a single word.
In the end, all they could do was keep quiet.
...
As soon as Zhu Yanniang and Wen Qiyu entered Bagua Mountain, they were caught in a maze. They wandered around for a whole day and night, but they were still going in circles.
Do you understand formations?
Wen Qiyu had lost all patience and glanced at Zhu Yanniang without any hope.
"Besides knowing a little martial arts and some medical and poison skills, I really don't know anything else. So, brat, if you want to get out of here, don't even think about relying on me."
Zhu Yanniang glanced at him, ruthlessly pouring cold water on his enthusiasm. She also wanted to go out, but she didn't even know his name. How could she solve this problem?
It seems that she, the dignified leader of the Su Nu Sect, is about to meet her end here.
"Is that really the end? How many days will our rations last?"
Wen Qiyu was both amused and exasperated. In all his years of wandering the world, this was the first time he had ever been in such a predicament.
"We brought ten days' worth of rations, and today is only the second day. Let's eat sparingly and try our best to find a way out. From now on, we'll mark each place we visit every day. If we don't know the key point of the formation, we'll try a simple, painstaking approach, exploring one place at a time. We should be able to find a way out."
Zhu Yanniang glanced at the dry rations and water they had brought, and felt less panicked. However, she also knew that they would only be able to avoid starvation temporarily. If they couldn't get out within ten days, they might starve to death one day, and the people outside wouldn't even know that they had died.
"You're right, young master. I regret inviting you to Miao territory in the first place. If you die, don't come to the underworld to settle scores with me. You agreed to it voluntarily; I didn't force you."
Wen Qiyu now knows that the only way is to try Zhu Yanniang's method. However, he also understands the wonder of formations, which are sometimes unpredictable. For novices like them, finding the core of the formation is probably harder than climbing to heaven.
However, people must have hope to live. If they have no hope at all, they might as well commit suicide.
"Who wants to cling to you? Don't flatter yourself."
Zhu Yanniang rolled her eyes speechlessly, found a stone bench, and sat down to rest.
"It's getting dark. Let's rest up before we start looking. Only one person can sleep in the tent. How about you sleep for the first half of the night and I'll sleep for the second half? We need to be well-rested to deal with this damn formation."
Wen Qiyu used to disguise himself as a beggar, wandering around aimlessly. This time, thanks to his unreliable nature, he was able to live comfortably in this deep mountain forest.
"You've prepared everything perfectly, which I have to admire. Okay, I'll sleep according to your plan."
Looking at the young man in front of her, Zhu Yanniang felt for the first time that men weren't so unpleasant; at least she saw light in him.
"Oh! You... you haven't had a man to comfort you for so long, aren't you going to be unable to hold back? Let me tell you, don't you dare try anything with me, or I'll poison you and make you mute, and then tear you to pieces."
While Wen Qiyu was shaking out the tent, a thought suddenly struck him, and he remembered who the woman beside him was, so he couldn't help but want to warn her.
"Mom, I already have someone I like. I wouldn't even look at a little kid like you. I may have been a bit dissolute in the past, but I was always doing what's right and punishing evil. Do you really think of me as someone who's so desperate for love?"
Zhu Yanniang glared at him, thinking, "Damn it! What does this kid take me for?"
Zhu Yanniang has always been an upright person, so is it necessary to guard against her like a wolf?
Although her past behavior was terrible, she still has a conscience, okay?
"Oh, I remember now, you have someone you like, but that person has absolutely no interest in you, and you're not good enough for them, so you should just shut yourself up. Go to sleep now, or if I can't wake you up in the middle of the night and you just rip open the tent, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Wen Qiyu's family may have a genetic predisposition to being sharp-tongued and malicious; at this moment, he is just like his older brother, truly ruthless to the extreme.
"Damn it, I never understood why I agreed to go into the mountains with you."
Zhu Yanniang cursed and angrily crawled into the tent.
"There's nothing to be confused about. You wanted to go to Miao territory, but it was closed off, so you couldn't get in. That's why you agreed to my request. I only brought you in because you used me. Instead of being grateful, you're here badmouthing me. Oh! I've really done something stupid."
Wen Qiyu rolled her eyes, speechless, and then took out the little snake from her body and played with it.
Zhu Yanniang was speechless at his appearance.
She really couldn't understand how there could be such a narcissistic man in the world.
If it weren't for Jun Jianchou, she certainly wouldn't have traveled all the way to a place like Miao territory and suffered this undeserved calamity.
It's uncertain whether they'll be able to escape this formation in ten days.
What major secret lies here that someone would set up a special formation to guard against outsiders?
