Chapter 166 - Killing intent!
The bonfire gradually extinguished. The flickering charcoal flames illuminated the figures within the cave. Unknowingly, the sun had already begun to rise.
Suddenly, Mu Yan"s eyes slightly opened, and quietly went into her bosom. In between her brows, killing intent surfaced, and on her delicate face, a ruthless look also appeared.
"Yiya?"
Xiao Budian suddenly flipped over and sat up, staring at Mu Yan with his dark blue eyes.
This sudden awakening made Mu Yan"s delicate body tremble, her right hand suddenly froze, not daring to move at all. Her two eyes were fixated on Tang Huan who was right in front of her, and seeing that he did not react, she calmed down a little and forced a smile to Xiao Budian.
Xiao Budian scratched his head in suspicion, then fell down straight back again, continuing to sleep soundly.
The Seven Colored Spirit Mouse that fell down from Xiao Budian"s stomach rubbed its eyes, and then used its four claws to climb onto Xiao Budian"s plump belly again, falling asleep in a daze.
Seeing that, Mu Yan was relieved from the burden, his right hand slowly moved out from his clothes, and when he looked at Xiao Budian again, an angry look appeared in his eyes.
She was also afraid of death, but rather than humiliating herself and becoming a random follower, it was better to die cleanly.
However, she didn"t dare to commit suicide. She didn"t want to die and be humiliated.
In this way, only by killing Tang Huan first would Mu Yan be able to free herself, but she never thought that the Blue Dragon would be so alert to his killing intent.
Since Xiao Budian had already exposed her, she could only give up. Fortunately, she was not seen by him.
However, just as Mu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, his heartstrings tensed up once again. She suddenly realised that the corner of Tang Huan"s lips had curled up, and revealed a mocking smile, but when she looked over, Tang Huan"s face remained as calm as ever …. Was it an illusion?
Just as Mu Yan was feeling suspicious, the sound of plants swaying came from afar, followed by a burst of noise.
"Look, there are footprints in front!"
"The footprints are so small, could it be that the person who stole our things is a child?"
"Child? How is this possible? Could a child make it here alive on this Feng Ming Mountain? "d.a.m.n it, after I capture him, I"ll have to see how I deal with him. I"ve gone through so much trouble to find these two "Immeasurable Fruits", and I can"t even bear to eat them. To think that they were all stolen by him!"
"My Fire Cloud Fruit is gone too."
"..."
At that moment, not only did Mu Yan look out of the cave, Tang Huan also suddenly opened his eyes and swept his gaze out of the cave.
Almost at the same time, Xiao Budian and the Rainbow Spirit Mouse shuddered and woke up. The two little fellows didn"t make a sound. One of them jumped onto Tang Huan"s body in a few steps and burrowed into the cloth bag, while the other burrowed into Mu Yan"s chest through his collar.
"Father!"
At this moment, the little girl drowsily sat up.
She first looked at him in a daze, but when her gaze landed on Tang Huan, a bright smile appeared on the girl"s face. She cried out in a tender voice, shook off the robe that was wrapped around her body, and ran to Tang Huan"s side shakily, hugging his arm tightly.
"There"s a sound? There"s someone over there! "
"It"s a cave!"
"..."
The girl"s voice immediately startled the Martial Warriors outside. A few shouts sounded out and in the next moment, a few figures entered Tang Huan"s line of sight.
"Father!" The little girl was so scared that she trembled, hugging Tang Huan even tighter. Her bright black eyes were filled with fear, as if she was afraid that he would suddenly disappear.
"Don"t be afraid!"
Seeing that, Tang Huan smiled and gently stroked the little girl"s head a few times, then carried her and stood up. He stepped in front of Mu Yan and handed the little girl over, then said: "Mu Yan, hug her first!" There was actually an unyielding tone in his tone.
Mu Yan subconsciously took it.
Perhaps it was due to him touching the two lumps of softness in front of her chest, but not only did the little girl, who was initially fiercely resisting, immediately stop struggling, her body even squeezed into her embrace. Her two little arms hugged her jade neck, and a sweet smile appeared on her face. "Mother —"
What … What? Mother? "Mother!"
Mu Yan was dazed for a moment, as if she had just awoken from a dream, and her beautiful face instantly turned as red as fire. I"m not your mother! "
"Mother!" The girl"s lips flattened and a single teardrop flowed out of each of her large eyes, quivering as if it was about to drip down.
"Zhizhi!"
The Rainbow Spirit Mouse squeezed out from between Mu Yan and the girl with much difficulty. It panted and squatted on Mu Yan"s shoulder, furiously waving its two little claws at the girl. Seeing its appearance, the girl immediately broke down in tears and smiled. Her eyes were filled with unconcealable curiosity.
Seeing the appearance of the girl and the Rainbow Spirit Mouse, as well as Mu Yan"s awkward state, Tang Huan felt that it was extremely funny.
"There"s really someone here!"
Excited laughter came from outside the cave.
Tang Huan"s eyes congealed, he suddenly turned around, holding onto his long blade, he walked out, when he walked out of the cave, the smile on his face had completely disappeared.
"Whoos.h.!.+" "Whiz …"
At the moment, there were four figures shooting over like lightning.
The people who came were all young men in their twenties or thirties. The person at the front had a face full of moustache, he wore a dark green embroidered robe, and in his hand was a long axe. The handle of the axe was emitting a faint yellow l.u.s.ter, but the axe"s body was glowing with a golden light.
Seeing Tang Huan, the four of them were startled, and when they saw Mu Yan, especially the little girl in her arms, they looked at each other in dismay.
"There really is a child?"
The green robed man couldn"t help but grumble. Then, he looked towards the skinny black clothed man behind him with a puzzled expression. "Tian Hong, are we heading in the right direction?"
"We all came here following the footprints. We can"t be wrong!" Although the black clothed man called Gao Hong was also puzzled, he didn"t hesitate to shake his head.
"My friends, can you give that child to us?" At this moment, a young man with a handsome face suddenly cupped his hands and smiled.
"Why should I hand over my child to you?" Tang Huan"s brows slightly rose.
"Your child?"
Hearing this, the handsome man suddenly revealed a smile, "Friend, you sure know how to joke. Not only is the child covered in dirt and dust, he doesn"t even have a single piece of clothing. There are also many cuts on his body.
"How can parents in this world treat their children like this when they don"t even have enough time to love them? If my guess is right, this child is most likely the embodiment of some spiritual mountain spirit nearby, and friends should not be deceived by her pitiful appearance. "
"Rong Qi, you"re the smart one, you saw through his lies with a single glance. As for whether or not this little brat is the one we"re looking for, we"ll catch her and compare his footprints with ours. "
The green clothed man laughed out loud, raised the long axe in his hand, and pointed the axe blade at Tang Huan, "Brat, if you know what"s good for you, hand over this brat, or else …"
