"Foolish woman, why aren't you running away? Are you waiting to die?!"
Upon hearing that irritating voice, Mu Guo knew that the person who had come was Xiao Jinyan.
So she scrambled to her feet, grabbed Ah Lü, and hid to the side.
Xiao Jinyan's all-black attire, from head to toe, not only did not make her disappear in the darkness, but instead made her stand out even more and shine even brighter.
His features were as sharp as if carved by a knife, his eyes were cold and devoid of any warmth, and his thin lips were pressed into a straight line.
For a moment, Mu Guo found herself unable to take her gaze off him.
This man is like an invincible king!
"Have you seen enough? Now get your idiot and get away from here!"
That mouth of his is just so annoying.
Muguo then obediently took a few steps back.
Now, the wolves that had been surrounding the wood fruit changed their targets and all viciously pounced on Xiao Jinyan.
Xiao Jinyan remained calm, holding a pistol in one hand, and fired several shots at the wolf pack, causing several more wolves to fall one after another.
"careful!"
While he was shooting and killing the wolves in front of him, a vicious wolf suddenly pounced on him from behind.
Xiao Jinyan turned around quickly, and with a clean and swift motion, slashed the wolf's neck with the dagger in her hand.
Almost as soon as Mu Guo finished speaking, the wolf collapsed and stopped breathing.
This scene left Muguo speechless.
Xiao Jinyan's actions were swift and decisive, yet ruthless and left no room for compromise.
Men like that are terrifying.
That's why she was even more determined not to stay by his side!
Before long, the ground was littered with the corpses of wolves, while those that hadn't been killed scattered in all directions.
The strong smell of blood suddenly made Mu Guo feel unwell and weak all over.
Xiao Jinyan stepped forward and put his arm around her swaying waist.
"Why are you looking at me like that? I saved your life again, shouldn't you thank me?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Guo felt a lump in her throat, unable to utter a simple "thank you."
"What, scared out of your wits? Come on, I'll take you out of here."
"I won't leave until the three-day deadline is up. I have no intention of thanking Young Master Xiao for saving my life, but I must keep my word."
Mu Guo subtly shifted her body.
The pack of wolves that had been eyeing her menacingly, eager to devour her blood, lost their lives in an instant.
All she could think of was getting as far away from him as possible.
"You won't last three days. If it weren't for me, you would already be dead!"
Xiao Jinyan's voice suddenly increased, and he threw a blood-stained dagger with force, which accurately pierced the heart of a wolf.
Mu Guo's body stiffened, and her whole body tensed up.
“Even if I can’t survive three days, I won’t go back with you. This is my own choice. I want freedom, and I’m willing to give up my life for it.”
Her voice was neither too warm nor too cold, but very firm.
It seemed that nothing could change her decision at that moment.
Xiao Jinyan had never seen such an ungrateful and stubborn woman, yet he was utterly helpless against her.
His anger rose little by little from his heart, and then gradually subsided until he lost all his rage.
"I'll give you your freedom if you come out with me!"
He said those words almost through gritted teeth.
Mu Guo was taken aback, but quickly realized what he meant, and her voice was filled with a hint of excitement.
"Young Master Xiao, are you telling the truth? As long as I go out with you now, you'll let me go and won't make me your servant?"
