Upon hearing her words, Mu Xiao laughed even more heartily. Stripped of his timid facade, Yan Qing discovered for the first time that this man was truly dazzling.
"Of course I'm your friend, you don't need to doubt that at all." Mu Xiao had finished laughing, but his hand still lingered on her face.
Yan Qing was extremely itchy. She didn't know if it was just her imagination, but the places Mu Xiao had touched felt like mosquito bites on her face, incredibly itchy.
"Pfft—"
Mu Xiao suddenly laughed, finally removing his hand from her face. Before Yan Qing could even breathe a sigh of relief, she heard his uncontrollable laughter.
"Yan Qing, your face is as red as a monkey's butt."
"you--!!"
She simply closed her eyes, out of sight, out of mind.
What a prodigy! How come she didn't realize that Mu Xiao was actually a prodigy? It seems that he disguised himself very well before.
After Mu Xiao finished laughing, he actually sat down right next to her.
After a long while, she heard the other person's very soft voice.
If I die, will you remember me?
What did he mean by that? Yan Qing had no idea what this person was up to. Her mind was racing.
Suddenly, a thought struck her.
"Mu Xiao, are you waiting for someone?" This person certainly wouldn't come all this way just to flirt with me, would they?
Besides, given how unrestrained and dissolute this person is, it's uncertain whether he's telling the truth! After all, his acting skills were top-notch before!
As expected, Mu Xiao did not answer her. Instead, he turned his gaze to the vast frozen lake before him, his eyes filled with uncontrollable sorrow.
Yan Qing naturally couldn't see this scene.
At this moment, the Sun family members who had been ambushed finally woke up.
"Mu Xiao—!! You just wait!"
Sun Qiang's furious voice echoed endlessly on the empty stone platform, but unfortunately, the person he was talking about had long since vanished without a trace.
Not only that, "Big Brother—" Sun Gui's expression looked like the sky had fallen.
"The storage ring we used to store the body parts has vanished!"
Sun Qiang didn't turn his head, but the veins on his face bulged uncontrollably. He gritted his teeth and said,
"Don't worry, he can't escape. I know where he went."
Then he looked at the dark stone steps leading to the entrance and finally turned back the way he came.
"Big brother—" Sun Gui seemed hesitant, "They're clearly right here—"
"Shut up! The Western Vajra Hell is a place where, unless you have superpowers, your body will explode the moment you enter!"
Sun Qiang knew perfectly well that the path before them was the best one, but they could no longer afford any more sacrifices.
"My mission is to get every one of you out of here alive! Let's go!"
No matter how painful the Wind and Thunder Hell was, at least it wouldn't wipe them all out. Currently, this was the only way he could find to survive.
Before Sun Qiang arrived, he had specifically studied the Nine Hells. Therefore, he was very clear that each of the last three minor hells could actually lead to the Central Hell of Universal Plunder.
However, this path is fraught with peril, with only a slim chance of survival. Originally, the Vajra Hell was the relatively safer route, but unfortunately, only those with supernatural abilities can withstand the immense spiritual pressure on the stone steps.
No matter how well they train their bodies, ordinary people like them simply cannot withstand it without spiritual power.
The last and safest path, however, was in Mu Xiao's hands. That was why he went through so much trouble to reunite with the other party.
Unfortunately, this person was completely unyielding and managed to drug them all, then quietly slipped away.
Therefore, they had no choice but to pass through the Wind and Thunder Hell. Even Sun Qiang hesitated for a moment, thinking of the dangers within.
Enough is enough. After all, this is the sin of the Sun family, and someone has to come and settle it.
As Sun Qiang led his men in a desperate struggle, Yue Qi finally witnessed Wen Jiajia's awakening.
"Hey, it's you? Where's that brat Yan Qing?"
Wen Jiajia looked around, but still couldn't see anything. However, she couldn't hear that brat's voice?
"No need to look anymore, she jumped from here." Yue Qi's voice was so flat it was almost mechanical, and Wen Jiajia immediately objected.
"You scumbag! Why didn't you jump yourself and let a girl do it for you? How dare you say that!" Wen Jiajia's verbal sparring was unmatched. She had thought Yue Qi was a good person, but luckily she found out early!
Yue Qi didn't have time to argue with her. Seeing Wen Jia jumping around happily, and not seeming to be in any danger, he stood up and silently put on his parachute backpack.
Wen Jiajia cursed a few more times, but found that the person didn't react at all. She was a little puzzled. Why had Yue Qi become mute?
When I looked back at him, he had actually jumped down with a vengeance.
"Oh my god, this guy is planning to commit suicide just because I said one thing? No way?!"
Wen Jiajia stared in disbelief as he disappeared into the darkness. Turning her head, she saw a parachute left on the ground and hesitated for a moment.
If she jumps now, does that mean she'll die and still be a third wheel?
The scenery by Mirror Lake is quite beautiful.
The three people had actually split into two groups. One group consisted of handsome men and beautiful women, sitting side by side, a truly pleasing sight.
On the other side, the bald monk sat alone by the fire, looking utterly desolate.
When Yue Qi jumped down, this was the harmonious scene he saw.
He was a bit luckier than Yan Qing; his parachute landed directly on the shore, and he didn't get wet at all, much better off than some drowned rat.
Of course, the first thing he saw was the handsome man and beautiful woman sitting in a row.
Yue Qi narrowed his eyes. This man was actually Mu Xiao, whom they had left at the entrance!
When did he arrive here?
Looking at Yan Qing nestled beside him, Yue Qi finally realized something was wrong.
Yan Qing seemed frozen in place.
"Hi—" Mu Xiao broke the silence first, waving to Yue Qi, "My dear friend, it's great to see you again!"
Yue Qi was anything but happy. He didn't even need to get close to him to be absolutely certain. Yan Qing was currently being controlled by this person.
"Mu Xiao, shouldn't you be waiting at the entrance to the Vajra Hell? How did you end up here?" Yue Qi pretended not to see the intimacy between the two, his attitude one of normal curiosity.
Mu Xiao affectionately stroked Yan Qing's hair, successfully giving her goosebumps. Finally, he simply started playing with her hair, replying casually...
"What, didn't you already suspect I was up to something? Are you really that surprised that I'm here?"
