The woman in red was leaning in Zi Yang's arms, while he was staring blankly at the reflection of the moonlight in the deep pool, recalling many past events in his mind.
In the past, when she was in Wu Zheng Town, whenever the weather was nice and sunny, Hua Yao would help him out of the gate, find a soft lawn to sit down on, and lean into his arms to bask in the sun.
Zi Yang was a little reluctant at first, but as time went by, he didn't take it seriously. In any case, Hua Yao was his savior, and the two had always had a good relationship, so it was okay to rely on him for a while.
But the woman in red was different. She had only met Zi Yang a few times, and she used force to force Zi Yang to compromise, which made him feel uncomfortable.
But what can he do? Even if he has all kinds of grievances in his heart, he can only hold it in and dare not show up. He can't fight but can't escape, and obeying her is the only way.
Otherwise, if she comes to force him, Ziyang will really not be able to deal with it. By then, he will lose even more.
The woman in red suddenly asked: "Are you going to the Zhuliu Mountains?"
Zi Yang stared at the deep pool and ignored her.
The woman in red raised her pink fist and hit him on the chest. Although the force of her punch was not heavy, it was enough to wake up Zi Yang who was thinking about how to escape.
Zi Yang covered his chest and asked, "Why did you hit me?"
"Repeat what I just said." The woman in red pushed hard with both hands and stood up angrily.
Ziyang was pushed by her, looked up at the starry sky, and said, "You said the moonlight is beautiful tonight."
The woman in red squinted her eyes and said with a smile: "Okay! I'm leaving. If I don't leave, you will be in trouble."
Ziyang was overjoyed, she was finally leaving.
However, what Ziyang didn't expect was that as soon as he stood up to leave, a strong scent of jasmine came and the woman in red touched his face through the veil.
"I gave this to you. Remember to return it to me next time." After the woman in red finished speaking, she turned around and escaped into the dark forest. The red dress was quickly shrouded in darkness.
Ziyang touched the kissed cheek, and the surrounding fragrance had not dissipated, and said: "It turns out that when I watch the stars with girls, they will all say that the moonlight tonight is beautiful."
This sentence was originally something Hua Yao often said when he was watching the stars with Hua Yao. Unexpectedly, today's words saved him from danger.
After the woman in red left, he didn't dare to hesitate and immediately stepped on the way he came and hurried back.
"Bah!" Pei Yuan sat on the thunder prison, spit out the fruit pellets in his mouth, and said, "I have been waiting here for so long, and no one has come to save you. I think I'd better send you on your way."
Pei Yuan jumped off the thunder prison, turned his back to Jia Juesheng, and slowly rubbed his hands.
Jia Juesheng trembled and shouted hurriedly: "Wait a minute! Someone! Someone! Someone will come to save us. If you wait a little longer, someone will definitely come."
"You stole my roasted hare, so I could only eat some wild fruits to satisfy my hunger. You are so courageous!" Pei Yuan was so angry that he was shaking all over.
Jia Juesheng looked familiar at his back, but he didn't dare to go up to recognize his relatives randomly. He said in a negotiating tone: "A hare is not worth a few spiritual source stones. We can give you the spiritual source stone as compensation. Do you think it’s okay?”
Pei Yuan said in a bad tone: "You want to use the Spiritual Source Stone to bribe me?!"
"Don't dare. What I mean is, if you have any demands, just ask us, and we will definitely try our best to make it up to you." Jia Juesheng dares to offend him, as his own life is in other people's hands. Holding on, in order to survive, he could only delay time and wait for Ziyang to come back.
Pei Yuan shook his head and said, "You can't give me the Spiritual Origin Stone. I want the Holy Origin Stone!"
Jia Juesheng whispered: "How can a hare be worth a Holy Origin Stone?"
"The hare is not worth the Holy Origin Stone, but the hare I roasted, do you think it is worth the Holy Origin Stone?" Pei Yuan turned around and walked towards Jia Juesheng.
The light in the forest was very dark, and Jia Juesheng could only see his face clearly through some moonlight. When he confirmed that the man in black was Pei Yuan, he immediately shouted excitedly: "You are Pei Yuan! Why are you here? ? What a misunderstanding, misunderstanding."
"Don't do this to me! The hare I worked so hard to roast was ruined by you before I could enjoy it. What do you think we should do about this?" Pei Yuan squatted half-crouching, smiling. Stare at him.
Jia Juesheng looked at his malicious smile and immediately asked with a smile: "You say it, you say it, whatever you say will come true, everything will be at your command."
"Let me tell you, it's easy. You ate the hare I roasted, and I roasted you on the fire. What do you think?" Pei Yuan set up the fire again, and it seemed that he was not joking.
"Don't stop, don't stop, have something to discuss with things, and have something to discuss." Jia Juesheng quickly laughed, but he was cursing Ziyang in his heart.
"It's nothing to discuss! What's there to discuss?"
Before Pei Yuan finished speaking, he heard the treetops shaking behind him. Not long after, three men in black robes were standing behind Pei Yuan.
There is a blooming white lotus embroidered on their right arms. It looks very beautiful at first glance, but if you look closely, you will find that there is a black skull embroidered in the center of the blooming lotus petals.
Obviously, they are the disciples of the South Gate of Liangcheng, the Ghost Gate.
Pei Yuan sneered, looked sideways and said, "I have no connection with your ghost sect, so why are you here?"
One of them said: "Boy, have you ever seen a woman wearing a red dress with a veil covering her face?"
Pei Yuan pinched his right wrist with his left hand, lightning flashed on his fingertips, turned around slowly, and said lightly: "I haven't seen it before."
The three people from the Ghost Sect looked at each other, did not stay any longer, turned around and walked away from the treetops.
As soon as the three of them left, Pei Yuan sat in front of Jia Juesheng and asked, "Have you thought about it? What are you going to do to compensate me?"
Jia Juesheng said with a smile: "Didn't you just say you wanted a Holy Origin Stone? When Zi Yang comes back, I'll ask him to give you a Holy Origin Stone. What do you think?"
Pei Yuan shook his head and said disdainfully: "One Holy Origin Stone? Is the thing I, Pei, baked worth only one Holy Origin Stone?"
"If one is not enough, just two. Ziyang has many Holy Origin Stones on his body. As long as you are willing to wait, he will definitely give you enough Holy Origin Stones." Jia Juesheng had just finished speaking when a dark figure walked out of the dim woods.
The visitor was none other than Zi Yang, who was returning from fetching water. He happened to hear what Jia Juesheng had just said, and he said as he walked: "I don't have the Holy Origin Stone, and I won't give it to you even if I die!"
When Jia Juesheng and Xiao Hai saw Zi Yang, they immediately smiled. Having him in their hearts gave them some confidence.
When Pei Yuan heard this, he raised his hand to pat him without saying a word. Zi Yang crossed his arms in front of him. The moment Pei Yuan's palm fell, Zi Yang's feet sank and fell deeply into the soil.
The dazzling lightning scattered in all directions. Before Pei Yuan could use all his strength, Zi Yang was already defeated and a blood streak appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Pei Yuan retracted his palm and joked with a smile: "It's been so many days since we said goodbye to the mine. Your state is the same as before, there is no change at all."
Zi Yang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand and asked with a smile, "How about you let them go first and then we sit down and talk slowly?"
Pei Yuan shattered the thunder prison with one palm, and Xiao Hai immediately ran to Zi Yang's side, lowering his head and saying nothing.
Zi Yang untied the rope that bound Jia Juesheng. He looked at the aggrieved Xiao Hai, held his little hand, and comforted him: "Don't blame yourself. Even I can't beat him, let alone you. I won't blame you." your."
Although Zi Yang didn't blame him, Xiao Hai didn't think so. He held Zi Yang's arm and didn't say a word, feeling a little depressed.
Jia Juesheng leaned into Ziyang's ear and asked in a low voice: "Are you that familiar with him? Why didn't I know?"
When Zi Yang didn't come back, Pei Yuan used force to trap him and Xiao Hai. But when Zi Yang came back, he only used one sentence to make Pei Yuan willingly let him go.
His attitude changed so quickly that Jia Juesheng couldn't react. He even felt that Ziyang and Pei Yuan were secretly interacting with each other, otherwise how could he have settled the matter with just one sentence.
"Pei Yuan has a big heart, how could he embarrass you because of a hare? He misses me and wants to see me." Zi Yang's voice was loud, for fear that Pei Yuan behind him wouldn't hear.
"What do you have in mind? If you don't have the Spiritual Source Stone, you won't be able to do it in terms of strength. Tell me, do you have what it takes to make me miss you?" Pei Yuan focused on the key points without caring about Ziyang at all. face.
Zi Yang said harshly: "How do you know that I don't have Spiritual Origin Stones? Let me tell you, not only do I have Spiritual Origin Stones in my hand, I even have hundreds of Holy Origin Stones."
With a puff, Pei Yuan could no longer hold back his laughter and said, "Well, if you eat my roasted hare, I won't ask for more from you. Just give me ten spiritual source stones and the matter will be wiped off!" "
Zi Yang waved his hand at Jia Juesheng and said happily: "Give him ten spiritual source stones to make him give up completely. Otherwise, this trivial matter will make him sick."
Jia Juesheng looked at Ziyang before he spoke, and Pei Yuan took the lead and said: "Wait! I didn't eat the hare because I didn't have the taste. If you eat it, you can eat it. As for the spiritual source stone... just leave it alone. .”
Jia Juesheng raised his head and glanced at Zi Yang with admiration, obviously admiring him. He knew Pei Yuan's temper and character clearly, and the latter smiled and patted his chest.
Zi Yang turned around with a smile, looked at Pei Yuan, and said with a serious smile: "Pei Yuan, don't leave, join my team, and join me in fighting in this world."
Jia Juesheng and Xiao Hai's expressions froze. None of them expected that Zi Yang would invite Pei Yuan to join the team, especially Jia Juesheng. Based on his understanding of Pei Yuan, he would definitely refuse Zi Yang without hesitation. .
In his eyes, Ziyang is one tiger, and Pei Yuan is another tiger. One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. It can be seen that Pei Yuan will definitely refuse Ziyang's invitation.
However, Pei Yuan's answer shocked him.
Pei Yuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Your team is too weak. When you can defeat me one day, I will think about it carefully."
"Of course, just thinking about it, don't make things too simple."
Zi Yang shook his head and said regretfully: "It's a pity, it's a pity, I won't say the same thing to the same person a second time."
"Let's go, let's go. If I stay any longer, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave." Pei Yuan did not dare to stay for long because he was afraid that he would really agree to Zi Yang on impulse.
After saying that, without waiting for Ziyang's reply, he walked away and walked leisurely into the dark woods.
