In the middle of the night, Xiaoyu came to call Shen Qianxue to take over the night watch. She saw Su Jinxia sleeping soundly in Shen Qianxue's arms, while Shen Qianxue propped her head up and stared at Su Jinxia's sleeping face without blinking.
His longing look was just like that of a lovesick fool.
"It's your turn to keep watch," Xiaoyu said, her tone tinged with jealousy.
"I understand." Shen Qianxue spoke very softly, afraid of waking Su Jinxia.
He had no intention of getting up; even lying here, he could still keep watch over the night.
In the distance, the howling of wolves could be heard.
Su Jin frowned, annoyed by the noise, and shifted her body uneasily.
Shen Qianxue reached out and gently patted her back, carefully comforting her.
Little Fish grinned, thinking to himself: Is it really that big of a deal? She's just a woman! If she's pretty, she gets some pampering; if she's powerful, she gets some flattery; if she's not pretty and has no power, she's just a servant girl who cooks and does housework.
Treating women like treasures is a disgrace to men.
Shen Qianxue looked at Xiaoyu with displeasure, her brows furrowing as if to say: What are you doing standing here? Get out of here.
The little fish felt a chill run down its spine and hurried away!
With Su Jinxia, the master of the Glazed Tile, around, the night passed without danger, and they slept soundly.
The next day, Su Jin got up full of energy.
"Have some water." Shen Qianxue sat cross-legged and handed the water bottle to Su Jinxia.
Su Jin was thirsty, so she took the water and sweetly said, "Thank you."
The sweet and warm water felt refreshing as it went down my throat.
"Why is it sweet?" Su Jin asked, puzzled.
“It’s spring water from the mountains,” Shen Qianxue said softly.
The mountain spring water must have been very cold, but the water that Su Jin drank was very warm. It must have been that Shen Qianxue had gone to collect the spring water a long time ago and warmed it on the stone.
Previously, in Phoenix Pavilion, where everything was available, Su Jinxia had never realized that Shen Qianxue was so gentle and considerate.
Oh dear, what should we do?
If one day Shen Qianxue were no longer by his side, Su Jin felt he would cry himself to death.
Xia Yinyin and the others also got up one after another.
Seeing that they were still far from the summit and the mountain path was becoming increasingly steep and difficult to traverse, Xia Yinyin dared not delay any longer and urged everyone to get up.
Shen Qianxue held Su Jinxia's hand tightly, afraid that she might bump into something.
The two of them being all lovey-dovey infuriated Xia Yinyin.
At noon, everyone took a break.
Xia Yinyin said, "You guys start a fire and get a barbecue grill, I'm going to hunt a rabbit."
No one objected, and Xia Yinyin left.
After a while, Su Jin told Shen Qianxue that she was going to relieve herself and then left.
The woods here weren't very dense, so Su Jin walked a bit further down.
Not long after Su Jin left, a scream suddenly came from the woods.
"ah!"
It was Xia Yinyin's voice.
"Help! Help me!" The cry for help came immediately afterward.
Everyone was shocked and rushed to rescue Xia Yinyin, but Shen Qianxue remained motionless.
"Phoenix Master?" the female teammate called out.
Shen Qianxue looked at her indifferently.
The female teammate asked curiously, "Aren't you going? The young lady is in trouble!"
Shen Qianxue glanced worriedly in the direction Su Jin had gone; she hadn't returned yet.
The female teammate said angrily, "The young lady has the highest martial arts skills. Even if we go there, we might not be able to save her if she is in trouble. Phoenix Master, you are at least friends with our young lady, yet you just stand by and watch her die!"
Others also chimed in, criticizing Shen Qianxue.
Xia Yinyin's cries for help grew weaker and weaker.
Although Shen Qianxue disapproved of Xia Yinyin's actions, they had known each other since childhood and she did not want her to die like that.
So he got up and rushed towards the direction of the cries for help, and soon found Xia Yinyin.
A giant python, about ten meters long, tightly coiled around Xia Yinyin, its enormous head opening its mouth wide towards her.
Xia Yinyin's face was deathly pale as she held her sword against the giant python's mouth, struggling against it.
Seeing Shen Qianxue's figure, she said urgently, "Brother Qianxue, we are no match for this giant python! You must go, go! Don't lose your life because of me..."
As she shouted, her strength waned, and the giant python's jaws were about to swallow her head.
As Su Jin left, she gave the black sword to Shen Qianxue. Shen Qianxue drew the long sword, leaped forward, and slashed at the giant python.
The giant python's skin and flesh tore open, and blood gushed out. The immense pain made him temporarily abandon his plan to eat Xia Yinyin and turn to deal with Shen Qianxue.
Then, everyone rushed forward and fought with the giant python.
The giant python was incredibly powerful, and even Shen Qianxue had to be careful when dealing with it, not to mention the other people who were causing trouble.
Xia Yinyin's face was full of worry and heartache as she shouted at the top of her lungs because of Shen Qianxue's selfless rescue.
They were practically saying they'd give themselves to each other!
In the midst of this chaos, no one noticed that the little fish was missing...
Su Jin went back to the campfire, but everyone was gone. Just as she was wondering what was going on, Xiao Yu came running back in a panic, carrying a sword and shouting, "There's a giant python! Everyone's injured!"
"What!" Su Jin's heart jumped instantly, and she ran up to ask, "Where is Chen Qianxue?"
The two met face to face, both in a panic. When Xiaoyu threw a handful of powder at Su Jinxia, Su Jinxia was completely unprepared and inhaled quite a bit.
"Cough cough!" He even choked.
"What the hell!" Su Jin exclaimed as she stepped out of the powder.
The panic on Xiaoyu's face had faded, replaced by a mischievous smile, as she kindly explained, "This is a potent aphrodisiac, it's wonderful."
Su Jin gritted her teeth. "I thought you guys had some real skills, but it's always the same lowlifes!"
"So what if it's low-class? As long as it achieves its goal!" Xiaoyu was not ashamed at all, raising an eyebrow and saying, "Do you think Shen Qianxue's expression will be so interesting when he comes back and sees you and me making love? Do you think he'll still want you?"
Her malicious thoughts, coupled with that fair and innocent face, truly made Su Jin feel nauseous.
"Have I not told you yet..." Su Jin's lower eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a fierce glint.
"What?"
"I've killed countless people!"
Xiaoyu laughed as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world, pointing her long sword directly at Su Jin. "You are now unarmed and drugged by me. You think you can kill me? You're dreaming! If you obey me and follow me, I will treat you well. If you don't obey me, I will make you regret being a woman!"
Su Jin clenched her fists, her teeth itching with hatred! But she did sense something was wrong; a burning sensation rose within her, her body weakened, and her inner strength was suppressed.
It seems the Gu Mother cannot suppress this drug!
And this is just the beginning. If the drug takes full effect, I don't know if I will be able to stay conscious.
Xiaoyu took a few steps forward. "However, don't blame me. I didn't want to provoke the Phoenix Lord, but Xia Yinyin also holds my life in her hands. I have no choice but to obey her orders. If you want to blame someone, blame her. You're better off in my hands than in hers."
As Xiaoyu spoke, she glanced back and dared not delay any longer, fearing that Shen Qianxue and the others would return too quickly. It would be better to finish the battle quickly.
"Bang!"
Just as Xiaoyu turned around to take action, Su Jin's shoe print landed on his face.
While I still had the strength, I kicked him away.
