Before Chapter 296 concludes—The White Tiger That Has Become a Spirit Will Look Down on People
"Sister Luo Xi... I..." Xie Hanchuan thought Lin Luo Xi was really angry, so he chased after her to explain.
As a result, he was stunned to see Lin Luoxi stuffing a sack full of glittering gold things into it.
"Sister Luo Xi..."
"Sister, what are you talking about? Hurry up and come over here and pretend." As soon as Lin Luoxi entered the cave, while Xie Hanchuan was struggling in the cave, she threw a lot of refined gold nuggets into her space.
He then took out the gold-refining tools he had previously stored in his spatial storage, intending to have Xie Hanchuan refine the gold that had been mined but not yet refined when he came in.
As soon as the tools were set up, they started using burlap sacks as cover to stuff those large chunks of gold into the space.
When Xie Hanchuan came in to explain, Lin Luoxi quickly interrupted him and told him to get back to work.
"Sister Luo Xi, this, this..." Seeing the piles of golden, gold-like things in front of him, Xie Hanchuan completely forgot his destination and stammered.
The piles of golden objects in front of us, and the golden light shimmering on the cave walls, are enough to show that there is a gold mine here.
"Brother Hanchuan, stop wasting time. Let's refine these gold nuggets first, and then we can gather enough gold for Master Shanhui..."
Time waits for no one, so let's get moving first. We can talk to Xie Hanchuan about it when we get back!
"Okay, okay..." Xie Hanchuan snapped out of his shock and quickly walked over to the tools Lin Luoxi pointed to. After watching Lin Luoxi operate them for a while, he also started to operate them.
Actually, in this era, refining gold from gold ore is still a very crude and easy process.
There was plenty of firewood left over from the previous refining process, so there was no need to worry about running out of firewood.
The two worked all night inside the cave, refining a considerable amount of gold nuggets. Their clothes were completely soaked with sweat.
"That should be about right." Looking at all those gold bricks, and then at the sky outside which was beginning to lighten, it was time to head down the mountain.
Lin Luoxi rubbed her aching lower back, which made Xie Hanchuan stop what he was doing and start cleaning up the gold bricks that had already formed on the ground.
"Luo Xi, why don't we refine more? That way, you won't have to work so hard..." After a night of refining, Xie Hanchuan had completely mastered the skill and didn't want to stop so soon.
Thinking that if she refined more gold, Lin Luoxi wouldn't have to work so hard every day.
"Forget it, I think being busy every day isn't a bad thing; it can make life more fulfilling."
"We'll take enough of what we need. As for the rest, we shouldn't come over unless absolutely necessary."
Just kidding, she has enough gold nuggets in her spatial storage to start her journey to becoming the richest woman in the world.
Seeing Lin Luoxi's gentlemanly demeanor, Xie Hanchuan liked her even more. He grabbed a sack, helped her fill it, and insisted on carrying all the gold nuggets on his own back.
When the white tiger saw Lin Luoxi carrying a small bag of gold bars, it opened its mouth and snatched the bag from her, carrying it away itself.
"Oh, our little white tiger, it even knows how to care for me now..." Lin Luoxi didn't expect the white tiger to be so intelligent, and praised it with a smile.
"Sister Luo Xi, I... I know I care about you too!" Xie Hanchuan, who hadn't received any praise, was starting to get jealous of Bai Hu.
"Mmm, Brother Hanchuan is the one who cares the most..." Lin Luoxi didn't react and just followed Xie Hanchuan's words. As she spoke, she realized something was wrong and her face started to turn red.
"Who do you feel most sorry for?" Xie Hanchuan asked, seeing that Lin Luoxi didn't speak. He seemed not to notice the other unusual things on Lin Luoxi's face and kept asking.
"I care about my older brother the most..." Seeing Xie Hanchuan's persistent questioning, Lin Luoxi first stomped on Xie Hanchuan's foot before deliberately saying that she felt sorry for her older brother.
"Ah!" Xie Hanchuan knew that Lin Luoxi was furious, and he probably shouted very loudly in order to calm her down.
"Shh!" Lin Luoxi saw Xie Hanchuan shouting so loudly and was afraid that their whereabouts would be discovered, so she quickly stepped forward and covered Xie Hanchuan's mouth with her hand.
Feeling the soft, delicate palm against his lips and smelling Lin Luoxi's fragrance, Xie Hanchuan shamelessly stuck out his tongue and lightly licked Lin Luoxi's palm.
"Ah!" Feeling the wetness in her palm, Lin Luoxi let out a startled groan and quickly released her hand from Xie Hanchuan's mouth.
"You scoundrel!" Lin Luoxi glared at Xie Hanchuan speechlessly when she saw his triumphant smile, then turned away and ignored him.
The more she walked, the angrier she became. She turned around again, stomped hard on Xie Hanchuan's foot, and even ground it down twice before stopping.
Seeing the pained expression on Xie Hanchuan's face, Lin Luoxi felt much better and walked forward.
"My God, women are really not to be trifled with..." Despite the excruciating pain in his instep, Xie Hanchuan's once turbulent heart was now as still as a calm lake.
I silently warned myself that I must never do anything so reckless again, otherwise, it wouldn't just be a simple foot injury.
Seeing Lin Luoxi already walking away, Xie Hanchuan could only limp after her.
Carrying several hundred kilograms of gold on his back made it even harder for Xie Hanchuan to walk.
The white tiger, walking in front of Xie Hanchuan, turned its head and glared at Xie Hanchuan with a look of disdain.
Seeing Xie Hanchuan limping, it actually imitated him quite well. Xie Hanchuan, who was following behind, felt like kicking the white tiger off the cliff.
But seeing how much Lin Luoxi treasured the white tiger, he could only restrain himself from making a move.
He thought to himself: This white tiger must not fall into his hands, otherwise, he would definitely skin it and make a nice fur coat for Lin Luoxi.
"Shh!" Just as the two men and the tiger reached the boulder blocking the narrow path, Lin Luoxi heard someone at the cliff and quickly told Xie Hanchuan and the white tiger to stop.
"Don't come any closer, don't come any closer, or I'll jump..." The woman's voice was filled with despair as she tried to threaten the other person with her own life.
"What are you pretending to be, some virtuous and chaste woman? You bitches have served countless bandits, and now you want to serve me? You want to jump off a cliff? Then go ahead and jump!"
The voice was extremely lewd and malicious; knowing what words would sting the conversation, it spoke even more vehemently.
Lin Luoxi could no longer hold back upon hearing the man's voice. She leaped up and stood on the boulder.
On the left cliff edge, four or five men were lewdly forcing a woman to submit, trying to humiliate her. The woman refused to comply and tried to jump off the cliff.
