Chapter 3400 - 3400 Nervous
3400 Nervous
The Black Tortoise Monarch and his wife exchanged a glance, smiles wreathed on their faces. When they took the fruits, they told him, “You sit down and rest! Do you want to drink some water?”
“I’m not thirsty,” Hao’er replied, taking the fruits to share with others.
When Guan Xilin saw that the meat was done, he cut some for everyone, wrapped it in big, clean tree leaves, and gave it to them, saying, “Come on, everyone, eat while it’s still hot.”
Everyone sat around and ate the roasted meat. Then Guan Xilin looked around and asked, “Why haven’t Leng Shuang and Qin Xin returned yet?”
Du Fan smiled when he heard this. “They said they were going to find a nearby water source, so they must have gone a long way. But you don’t have to worry about them because, given Leng Shuang’s strength, any ordinary person would have difficulty dealing with her, not to mention that Qin Xin is with her.”
“I’ll go look for them! You keep eating.” Leng Hua stood up as he spoke.
“I’ll go with you!” Du Fan also stood up.
“Go on! We’ll definitely save some roasted meat for you.” Guan Xilin laughed heartily,
signalling for the two to go together.
Leng Shuang and Qin Xin had been looking for a water source in a specific area of the forest for quite some time without luck. “There’s no need to search any further,” Leng Shuang said as they went deeper into the forest. “It’s alright if we can’t get water here, we should have enough in our s.p.a.ce until we get to the village.”
“Mm, let’s go back! We’ve been gone for quite some time, and we don’t want Master to worry.” Qin Xin turned back, followed by Leng Shuang. However, while they were returning, they were startled to hear the rustling of leaves around them. They both stopped and glanced at each other.
“Who’s there? Come out!” Qin Xin shouted.
“Hahaha, I didn’t expect the two beauties to be quite vigilant; you could actually notice us?”
Following the sound of the laughter, a dozen loose cultivators emerged from the forest. Some looked to be in their twenties, others in their thirties and forties, and the two leading them were tall and large men in their forties. They were squinting at the two women with vile grins on their faces.
Leng Shuang’s beautiful eyes swept over the men and quickly estimated their strengths. Since her power had advanced, it had been rare to run into such obnoxious people. Unexpectedly, they encountered people who despise living a long life in this forest.
“Loose cultivators.” Qin Xin stared at them intently, one hand resting on her waist.
“It’s been a long time since we’ve met such beautiful girls. How did you two end up in this remote forest? Were you looking for us? Hahahahaha…” The man leading the group taunted the two women and openly ogled the two women, his eyes growing brighter the more he stared at them.
“What a rare beauty!”
Another man in his thirties approached cautiously, having seen that the two women had shown no fear since their appearance. “Big Brother, there’s something amiss about these two women. I think we should just leave them alone.”
“What are you talking about? Are you actually afraid of two women? You’re always like this, making a fuss over small things. What sort of trouble can these two women possibly stir up?” The leading man sneered dismissively, clearly annoyed by this man’s words.
At the stern rebuke, the younger man couldn’t help but lower his head and step back. He glanced from left to right, then stammered out, “Big Brother, I, I am nervous. I need to go relieve myself.”
