Jealousy can be twisted. Lu Cao was originally quite pretty, but the ugliness in her heart was reflected on her face, making her look particularly ugly.
“Brother Lu Chen, she’s a vixen. I’m the one who’s most suitable for you. Our two families are such good friends, you should like me.”
Lu Cao was very excited, "She's always dressed to the nines, didn't you see the looks in the eyes of those men in the audience? She's probably seduced quite a few..."
"call out"
An arrow grazed Lu Cao's ear and landed on a tree not far away, penetrating seven-tenths of the way into the wood. One can imagine how much force Lu Chen had used.
Lu Cao stopped abruptly, her eyes glazed over in shock.
"I don't hit women, but I don't mind making an exception today."
Lu Chen's eyes were cold and terrifying, looking at her as if she were a dead person, which made Lu Cao shudder.
"Lu, Lu Chen, you can't do this to me. I've done so much for you..."
She collapsed to the ground, and there was an inexplicable wet patch beneath her.
“I have never asked you to do anything for me, and I have always refused and avoided you.”
Lu Chen interrupted her with disgust.
He drew the bow again with both hands, aimed, his face cold and ruthless.
"Whoosh!" Another arrow whizzed past Lu Cao's shoulder.
"Next time I hear you cursing her again, I don't know where this arrow will land."
Lu Cao trembled all over. He wasn't joking. He had just aimed at her heart and lifted his hand slightly when he let go.
He really wanted to kill her.
Brother Lu Chen, do you like her that much?
Ye Zhiyu watched calmly from the sidelines. She wasn't a saint; she wasn't in the habit of pleading for someone who insulted her.
If Lu Chen hadn't come up with that, she would have slapped her twice.
Seeing Lu Chen stand up for her, she felt a surge of sweetness in her heart, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.
Before leaving, she looked at Lu Cao and said, "Actually, you don't like Lu Chen either, right? It's just that no one has ever rejected you since you were little. Lu Chen is the first person to reject you. Your desire to conquer has replaced your liking. And it just so happens that Lu Chen is a very outstanding person. Stop being so stubborn. No one is born to go along with you."
She left after saying that, afraid that if she stayed any longer, Lu Chen would really kill someone.
Liu Lucao stood there, stunned.
Soon after, tears streamed down her face, and she muttered to herself.
"No, Brother Lu Chen, I like you, please don't treat me like that."
I got up and went home in a daze.
Stepping into the house, Lu Jianguo and his mother had been eagerly waiting. No matter how heartless they were, she was still their daughter, and they hoped she could change for the better.
Seeing him return looking so dejected, Lu's mother felt a pang of heartache.
He stepped forward to ask with concern, "Little Grass, are you alright? What happened to you? Who bullied you?"
Li Xiaohua stayed in her room, looking out the window.
Lu Cao focused her gaze on her mother in front of her and her father not far away.
A surge of resentment welled up inside me, "Ahhhhhh!"
She pushed away Lu's mother, who was showing concern for her.
"I don't need your fake kindness. Saying you care about me and love me is all fake. It's all because you guys didn't help me that Brother Lu Chen doesn't like me. It's all your fault, all your fault..."
Lu Cao has become obsessed, from the initial desire to conquer to repeatedly deceiving herself into liking Lu Chen.
She's been deceived so many times that she's come to believe it completely, so even when the truth is right in front of her, she can't get over it.
Lu Cao smashed things like a madwoman, and soon the house was a complete mess.
Li Xiaohua wanted to go out and stop her, but she was heavily pregnant and didn't dare to face her sister-in-law, who seemed a little off.
Lu's mother stumbled as she was pushed.
"Oh dear, little grass, what's wrong? Stop it right now!"
His hands trembled uncontrollably in mid-air.
Lu Jianguo was heartbroken; his daughter was beyond saving.
“Old woman, go to the fields and call our son back. Lock her in the house. Find some time to go to the matchmaker and find her a good family. This house can’t take her anymore.”
The moment he turned around, his already hunched body bent even more.
......
On the mountain.
Seeing that Lu Chen remained silent, Ye Zhiyu assumed he was still angry.
"Okay, don't be angry. It's not worth getting angry over someone like that."
Lu Chen stopped, his voice low: "I'm angry with myself. I'm sorry, because I made you suffer."
Ye Zhiyu never expected that this person had been so sullen all day because she had been scolded a few times.
He burst out laughing.
Lu Chen looked up and saw Ye Zhiyu's face looming large in front of him.
"That's even more wrong. She insulted me a few times, but it's not like I'll lose any flesh. Besides, didn't you stand up for me?"
"But if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been scolded."
Lu Chen frowned, feeling extremely guilty.
"Then you're wrong. Even if it wasn't her, it would be someone else. I'm not universally loved. There will always be people who dislike me for various reasons."
Given Lu Cao's personality, she wouldn't like me even without you, because I'm too good-looking.
Finally, she raised her chin, looking smug.
Lu Chen chuckled.
The two began to focus on looking around. Ye Zhiyu used her divine sense to try and find any ginseng or anything else from last time.
Searching for such tiny things is a waste of spiritual energy.
Before long, Ye Zhiyu was exhausted, having depleted her spiritual energy, and found several Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms.
It's alright, it's about two or three hundred meters away from here.
Just as she was about to take a break, she heard the sound of wild boars charging around ahead.
Lu Chen instinctively stood in front of Ye Zhiyu, drew his bow with both hands, and tried to kill the wild boar the moment it showed its head.
But as he listened, Lu Chen's expression grew increasingly grim.
This commotion isn't from one wild boar, it's from a herd of wild boars.
They began to tremble as they approached the ground.
"Climb the tree, quick!"
Lu Chen looked ahead warily and said to Ye Zhiyu in a deep voice.
After saying that, he squatted down and gestured for Ye Zhiyu to climb up the tree by stepping on his shoulders.
Ye Zhiyu stared at his face: "And what about you? What will you do?"
What a coincidence that her spiritual power just ran out, but even if she still had some, Lu Chen was still by her side.
The situation was urgent, and Lu Chen's tone left no room for argument: "Listen to me, hurry up."
Ye Zhiyu pursed her lips, stepped on Lu Chen's shoulder, and held onto the tree trunk. As he slowly got up, she climbed onto a sturdy branch of the tree and reached a safe position.
At this moment, the herd of wild boars also appeared.
Lu Chen quickly took aim.
"call out"
"call out"
"call out"
He fired three arrows in quick succession and took care of the three little wild boars.
Lu Chen quickly realized something was wrong. Logically, if the baby boar died, the adult boar would attack him frantically, which was a way to draw the danger to his side.
Indeed, the wild boars charged at him, but they ran away after Lu Chen dodged them.
If something can make a group of wild boars panic and run away, there must be something big behind them.
Sure enough, a roar came from behind.
Lu Chen's pupils constricted; it was a bear.
