Chapter 192 You're lying to me? How could he possibly be Lu Hanshang?
The sound was terrifying, but it aroused Ji Xinghan's curiosity.
This is a survival game; there have never been any ghost or monster elements before. Where did such a creepy sound come from?
Who's playing tricks?
She put Doraemon into her backpack, tiptoed, and walked into the woods.
The sound stopped, but as soon as she entered the woods, she heard a familiar voice—it was Ji Wenqiao.
Ji Wenqiao's voice was restrained, tinged with pain: "Hiss, what a fierce little thing!"
Zhu Xiong's voice came: "Boss, the guy we tied to the tree has escaped. Should we continue chasing him?"
Ji Wenqiao: "No way! What's the point of chasing that good-for-nothing? He's not good-looking, and his fighting skills are mediocre. What's the point of chasing him? Right now, I just want to catch that little thing!"
Zhu Xiong: "But boss, that little thing is too fierce, your face..."
Ji Wenqiao: "It's alright, just use a healing bandage and it'll be fine soon. That little thing is fast and has sharp claws, so it's perfect to catch as a pet. As for Lu Hanshang... our people are still searching everywhere. Whether we can catch him or not depends on fate!"
Zhu Xiong was a little anxious: "But, Master Jinluo..."
Ji Wenqiao scoffed, "Haven't you noticed? Master Jinluo hasn't shown up yet. She's never kept her word. Maybe she won't show up today?"
She said firmly, "I must catch that little thing! I've injured it, it can't go far!"
The two fell silent. Ji Xinghan squatted under a tree, eavesdropping. Her legs were getting numb. She moved her feet, about to back out, when suddenly, her legs felt warm, as if a stove had been placed inside.
Looking down, she noticed a tiny, bright red creature huddled close to her. Its fur was incredibly warm, radiating warmth even through her thick down pants.
The little thing squeezed and squeezed, finally getting under Ji Xinghan's crooked knees.
Ji Xinghan: ...
She reached out and pulled the lump out.
The little thing had a pointed nose and a pair of round, big, watery eyes. It blinked twice and looked at Ji Xinghan.
The fur is thick and warm; the dense fur feels warm and smooth to the touch, incredibly comfortable.
Moreover, its fur is fiery red.
It's just too small, all rolled up, only a little bigger than Doraemon.
Ji Xinghan looked closely: "A fox? A little fox?"
This looks like a red fox! It looks a bit different from ordinary foxes, much prettier.
It didn't make a sound, but stretched out its body. On its belly, Ji Xinghan discovered a deep wound from which bright red blood flowed, dripping onto the snow.
It was injured, badly.
Could this be... the little thing Ji Wenqiao is trying to catch?
Didn't Ji Wenqiao say it was fierce?
This isn't fierce at all! So well-behaved!
Ji Xinghan touched the lily of the valley hair clip and understood. Yes, she could easily gain the favor of small animals by summoning them, and she could even have simple communication with intelligent and affectionate animals.
The little guy didn't move or make a sound, but simply spread his belly out, looking at Ji Xinghan with his big, cute eyes, with a hint of pleading.
Blood was dripping from its belly, and Ji Xinghan was afraid it would run dry.
She quickly took out a healing bandage and carefully wrapped it around the little fox's wound. Still worried, she gave it an anti-inflammatory injection to prevent infection.
Just as I finished setting it up, a voice suddenly rang out: "What are you doing?"
It is Master Jinluo.
Ji Xinghan quickly squatted down and strained to look through the gaps in the trees.
Ji Wenqiao and Zhu Xiong, along with a few others, were resting. Ji Wenqiao was tending to the wounds on her face when they saw Master Jinluo appear out of nowhere. They immediately stood up excitedly.
Zhu Xiong asked anxiously, "Master, are you here today to accept a disciple?"
Master Jinlu frowned: "What kind of disciple are you taking on? Where's Lu Hanshang? Have you caught him?"
Ji Wenqiao's face stiffened, and she said, "Master, we already have his whereabouts. We'll catch him soon, by tomorrow at the latest."
Master Jinluo looked disappointed: "Really?"
She sniffed hard: "Have you seen a little fox? I've been looking for it."
Ji Xinghan felt a lightness in his hand, and the little fox suddenly broke free and disappeared in a flash.
As if sensing something, Master Jinluo looked in the direction where Ji Xinghan was.
Ji Xinghan tensed up.
Why is Master Jinluo looking for the little fox?
Ji Wenqiao looked conflicted, and finally said, "We've never met..."
Master Jinluo, still looking in Ji Xinghan's direction, waved her hand impatiently: "Fine, fine, fine. You've never seen a little fox before, and you can't catch Lu Hanshang. You're all really useless. Alright, since that's the case, I won't accept any more disciples today. Come back tomorrow!"
Ji Xinghan heard it.
This won't do.
She finally got to see Master Jinluo; she doesn't know how to find her again next time.
Moreover, Master Jinluo should have already discovered her.
Ji Xinghan no longer concealed herself. She stood up, strode into the woods, and said, "Master Jinluo, I've caught Lu Hanshang!"
"What?" Master Jinluo exclaimed with delight, jumping over to grab her arm. "Where? Where is he?"
Ji Xinghan hesitated for a moment: "Please wait a moment, I'll bring him over right away."
Jin Luo let go of Ji Xinghan, rubbing her hands together happily, muttering to herself, "Really? That's wonderful! I missed that handsome guy so much. He's good-looking, sings beautifully, he's truly a gem..."
Oh dear, I shouldn't have scared him away. It's just a purse, give it to him, give it to him!
Ji Xinghan: ...
Ji Wenqiao's expression changed: "Ji Xinghan, you found Lu Hanshang? How is that possible?"
She led thirty or forty people and searched the entire area, but they couldn't find Lu Hanshang at all. How did Ji Xinghan find him?
Ji Xinghan completely ignored her.
She was discussing with Lu Han: "I'll tie you up and have you meet someone later, okay?"
Lu Hanshang was shocked: "Tie me up? No, boss, are you kidding me?"
Ji Xinghan: "If I tie you up and take you to Master Jinluo, I can guarantee your safety. At most, you'll get a couple of slaps from the master, but you might learn how to sew. Do you want to give it a try?"
After a moment, Lu Hanshang gritted his teeth: "I'll try, but why did Master Jinluo slap me?"
Ji Xinghan: ...
I didn't expect Lu Hanshang to be so easy to talk to, he'd agree to this.
Of course, learning to sew might have tempted him.
Master Jinluo wouldn't kill anyone. Even when she was driven mad by Ji Wenqiao, she would only smash cars to vent her anger, and even then, she would go to great lengths to find a reasonable excuse.
Therefore, these NPCs should be subject to some kind of restriction.
Lu Hanshang is not in mortal danger, although it's still possible that Master Jinluo might beat him up if she gets angry.
After being beaten twice, you can learn sewing skills. How many people ask for it but can't get it!
Ji Xinghan returned quickly and met Lu Hanshang.
Lu Hanshang was indeed of average appearance, so average that you wouldn't remember his face. He was also not tall and rather thin.
However, she was very young, only twenty years old, with eyes full of innocent naivety.
Ji Xinghan tied him up with ropes without any hesitation and took him back to the woods.
Master Jinluo couldn't wait and came forward to greet them. Ji Wenqiao and the others were very curious and followed.
And so, he met the unremarkable Lu Hanshang.
Ji Xinghan shoved Lu Hanshang aside: "Master, mission accomplished, Lu Hanshang has been brought here!"
Master Jinluo was stunned for a moment, then became furious: "You said he is Lu Hanshang? You're lying to me!"
Zhu Xiong exclaimed excitedly, "Ji Xinghan, are you stupid? How could he possibly be Lu Hanshang? He's so ugly... Oh, I know, you've never seen Lu Hanshang before, haha, you've been fooled by this ugly guy, hahaha!"
His eyes lit up: "Master Jinluo, Ji Xinghan actually lied to you, beat her up!"
