"The people from White Tiger Cliff are shameless. Do they really think we, Green Dragon Village, are easy to bully?"
Xiong Da and Xiong Er huffed angrily, gripped their steel knives tightly, and wished they could rush up the mountain.
"What's the use of getting angry? They're stronger than us. So what if we bully them?"
The law of the jungle prevails; it has always been that way.
You have to put up with it even if you don't like it.
"Hmph, I'll fight them to the death! Boss, just give the order. I, Xiong Da, will go through fire and water without hesitation."
"We are too!" We've been bullied to this point; if we keep putting up with it, we'll just look like cowards.
"Stay calm, everyone. It's your turn to shine."
Mo Lan gestured to them several times to silence them.
A moment later, the group quickly made their way to the mountainside, lay in ambush, and waited for their celebration to end.
Inside the village, toasts were exchanged, laughter filled the air, and various compliments and jokes were heard incessantly.
The name of Hua Molan could be faintly heard interspersed among the sounds.
Mo Lan remained hidden in the shadows, her expression aloof. It was truly despicable that a group of grown men would make fun of a woman's reputation.
The boys hid in the shadows, listening to the foul language inside, and were so angry they were practically fuming. Several times they almost couldn't hold back their anger.
Only when the lights in the village dimmed and the noise gradually subsided did the crowd emerge from the shadows.
"Following the previously agreed-upon route, split into three groups and set off," Mo Lan said softly, touching the crossbow on her left wrist.
"Yes," the boys couldn't hold back any longer.
Following the route she had scouted beforehand, Mo Lan traveled almost unimpeded. Occasionally, she would encounter one or two sentries, but they were all drunk and posed no challenge to her.
Upon arriving at the council hall of White Tiger Cliff, torches burned on both sides of the entrance, and large red flowers hung above the door. Inside the hall, people were still moving about.
"Big...Big Brother, it's getting late. You should get some rest so you can welcome your beautiful bride up the mountain tomorrow."
"Hehe... I heard that the Mo Lan is so delicate and boneless, Brother is really lucky with women."
"Haha~, brother, while you're enjoying yourself in the company of beauties, don't forget our original intention!"
Hu Biao sat in the main seat, looking at his brothers who were slumped over, and laughed.
"Brothers, don't worry. She's just a woman. What can she do to me? Our ultimate goal is Qinglong Village, and I, Hu Biao, will never forget that."
Chang Liang, who was sitting to the side, immediately smiled and agreed upon hearing Hu Biao's words.
"Our chieftain is wise and mighty; how could any woman possibly hold him back? I've heard that Qinglong Village has about two hundred women and children. Once we take over the village, our brothers won't have to worry about not having women."
"Haha... Mr. Changliang was indeed farsighted."
"That rabble from Qinglong Village will be our meal sooner or later."
"Then, hehe..."
Before the man could finish speaking, he suddenly collapsed onto the table with a thud, startling everyone else.
"...The third brother is drunk, haha~"
"We really should call it a night; tomorrow is Big Brother's big day!"
As they were speaking, the man stood up, swayed, and then collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Hu Biao shook his head as he looked at the state of the village chiefs. Before he could give any orders to carry the people out, he heard a few whooshing sounds, and the village chiefs below him fell down one after another.
"Who's acting so suspiciously?"
As he spoke, he drew his steel knife from his waist, leaped more than ten feet away, and warily stared at the gate.
From the shadows, Mo Lan touched her wrist and slowly walked out.
"It's you?"
