The white shadow got closer and closer. Xia Yi silently recited the 24 words of 'Socialism' in her heart, forcing herself to calm down.

Although this white shadow was extremely well-dressed, and Xia Yi didn't know what technique he relied on to float in the air, it wasn't without any flaws. For example, there was a shadow …

Xia Yi was completely unaware of the other party's background. She was a weak girl, and knew that she would not be a match for the other party.

So, Xia Yi pretended to be panicking and ran off.

Seeing that Xia Yi had disappeared, the white shadow that was hung upside down finally climbed down the tree, and somewhat disdainfully took off the white clothes on her body. As the number one assassin in West Liang, Leng Qianjue had been using all of his martial arts to scare these villagers, if he were to reveal it in the future, he would inevitably be laughed at by others.

Looking in the direction that Xia Yi left in, he couldn't help but shake his head. It had been two years since someone had dared to come up this mountain.

When they first came up the mountain the year before last, what kind of people hadn't they seen before? Those who had the guts to pee their pants when they came up were scared to the point of fainting …

However, before she left, this woman didn't forget to pick up the cloth bag that fell to the ground …

Xia Yi ran very far, and only stopped when she was somewhat exhausted.

Looking around, she felt like crying but had no tears. She was too concentrated on running that she didn't even notice the direction she was heading towards. Now, she was actually running into a thick forest.

He had wanted to use the sun to determine the direction, but now the leaves were blocking his path.

Unable to determine the direction, Xia Yi could only walk towards a brighter direction and wait until she was out of this damned forest.

After going through the thick forest, Xia Yi saw a precipitous cliff, and at the bottom of the cliff, there was a lake.

The lake water was crystal clear, with a depth of only one meter.

"Will there be fish?" With this thought in mind, Xia Yi walked quickly towards the lakeside.

On the way, he had already thought of several methods. Steaming, roasting, boiling …

When he got closer, he realized that the lake was shrouded in a layer of extremely thin mist.

Xia Yi hesitated for a moment before squatting down and touching the water of the lake with her fingertips.

There was actually a hot spring lake hidden in the mountain.

A portion of the lagoon, which could not be seen from where Xia Yi was, was blocked by the cliff.

This was Xia Yi's first time seeing a natural hot spring lake, especially one that covered such a large area of land. She walked slowly towards the back of the cliff, wanting to see how big this hot spring lake was.

Unexpectedly, she saw a scene that caused one's blood to boil behind the cliff.

Beside the cliff sat a man without a single strand of hair on his body. His skin was white and reflected light, and he was as tender as an infant's skin.

Xia Yi could not help but be envious of this skin, this was skin that many people spent huge amounts of money to obtain.

As his gaze slowly moved upwards, an unusually handsome face entered his eyes. If it wasn't for the murderous gaze in his eyes, it would truly be a pleasing scene.

Xia Yi immediately retracted her gaze, and covered her eyes with a hand, saying: "Sorry, sorry for disturbing you, I didn't see anything! I'll leave now! "

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he heard a cold voice that had a trace of anger in it, "Stop!"

Xia Yi's footsteps paused for a moment before she quickened her pace.

Staying behind to wait for a man to make trouble for her, wasn't she that stupid?

Before she even had the chance to turn around the cliff, Xia Yi felt a gust of wind behind her head, and then, her neck was grabbed by someone.

"Since you didn't see anything, why are you apologizing?" The man's voice was already in his ears.

Could it be that she was being polite and wrong?

Just as she was about to explain, Xia Yi felt the hand at the back of her neck becoming tighter, as though it was going to break her neck, and spoke with a cold tone: "Speak, who are you? Why did it appear here? "

"Big Bro, if you have anything to say, then let's not fight, alright?" Xia Yi wanted to cry, but no tears would come out. She wanted to think about what kind of things she had encountered, first she was kidnapped, then she escaped with great difficulty, only to die here.

Her life was precious, and she didn't want to die yet …

The man behind him said impatiently, "Don't play tricks!"

"I'm just a weak girl with a weak hand. How could I dare to play any tricks?"

She thought that this man would not be someone easy to talk to, but she didn't think that this man would actually let go of Xia Yi's neck.

Xiao Linmu had already probed over it, but there was indeed no trace of Qi circulating in her body, she was not a martial cultivator, and looking at her hands, they were extremely rough, no different from the rural people that she had seen before.

Xia Yi secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She was afraid that Xiao Linmu would be so excited to break her neck, so she moved it left and right, slowly turning her head to look at the man, only to realize that Xiao Linmu had already wrapped up his clothes.

The collar and cuffs of his clothes were embroidered with golden threads, and the fabric was also of fine silk. One could tell that he was neither a rich nor a noble, but why was he hiding deep in the mountains?

Although Xia Yi was curious, she did not plan to investigate further, and only said: "My name is Xia Yi, I am a villager from the Zhongling Village at the bottom of the mountain. Oh no, if Young Master dares to show mercy and let my daughter live, my daughter will definitely be extremely grateful. "

Xia Yi explained how she fled up the mountain in a panic after Niu Dazhuang chased her.

After saying that, he carefully looked at Xiao Linmu's expression, trying to read his thoughts, but he could only give up in the end. Xiao Linmu was like a robot, his expression did not change at all when he spoke.

Just as Xia Yi's heart was thumping uncontrollably, she heard a question from Xiao Linmu: "Can you cook?"

"…" Xia Yi suspected that she had misheard him. After being stunned for a moment, Xia Yi immediately nodded: "I will, I will."

"Two choices. One, to stay on the mountain and cook. Two, to bring the secret to the mountain." Xiao Linmu's tone was as normal as if he was talking about the weather, but he heard that Xia Yi was terrified.

"Is there a third option?" The first choice sounded good, as it could save his life temporarily. However, staying on the mountain was like kicking a time bomb. If the person in front of him wasn't happy at all …

Besides, she still had two little ones at home. She didn't know how they were doing since she didn't go back last night, so she couldn't stay on the mountain.

Xiao Linmu shot a glance at Xia Yi, as if Xia Yi was telling a joke. This was the first time he saw someone who had the guts to bargain before death.
