Chapter 136: Chapter 107 Miss Yue Yue [10,000 Words Released Today]

"Hey, do you think that guy can escape?"

Not far away, up in the branches of a tree, sat a woman dressed in Southern Border attire.

Her slender and pale legs swayed back and forth, and despite being covered by a long skirt, the enticing curves were still visible as they moved.

Her embroidered shoes weren’t properly worn on her feet but were instead hooked on her toes. Her soles were completely exposed to the air, her flexible toes wiggling, causing the shoes to spin around without falling off.

Even Lu Luo would commend her for her nimble feet.

"Lord Yue Yue, I think..."

"How could you forget, we’re not at home."

Pouting her lips, she seemed somewhat displeased with the boy behind her, who appeared even younger than she was. At that moment, she suddenly realized there was not only "Lord Yue Yue" on the branch.

There was also a boy who looked roughly Jiang Feng’s age, or even younger.

He too wore Southern Border attire, a bit short but remarkably robust—a classic barrel-shaped figure with suntanned skin, a sure sign of frequent outdoor work, an overly suntanned complexion. His expression was slightly dull, with a face that...

One that clearly hadn’t suffered the slings and arrows of society.

"Oh, cousin sister, I, I don’t think he can escape. That person is very powerful, top-grade Foundation Establishment. I might not be able to beat him; it could be a bit of a struggle."

Stuttering as he spoke in Central Plains dialect, and with a noticeable accent, his words were full of modesty, revealing an honest smile.

But this modest statement would shock anyone else into biting off their tongue!

Because what the young man mentioned was not an inability to fight.

He talked about potentially struggling to win.

A teenager who could wrestle with someone at top-grade Foundation Establishment, what kind of talent would that be?

Yet, the girl swinging her feet on the branch seemed unfazed, instead tilting her chin up and pointing at the boy in the distance who had been driven back to the riverside, clearly at a disadvantage.

In fact, this Southern Border... no, Miss Yue Yue was less than a year older than Jiang Feng.

"That fella is full of tricks, and quite bizarre too. His cultivation is only so-so, but his martial arts are quite formidable. Hey, why don’t you use your Spiritual Energy and have some fun with him?"

"That, that doesn’t seem appropriate. Before we ran away from home, we agreed that we shouldn’t provoke anyone, draw their attention, or..."

"Ugh, so annoying!"

She interrupted directly.

The dark-skinned young man just obediently shut his mouth.

No matter how beautiful, tempting, or charming this young girl might seem to others, in the eyes of her brother,

She was a devil wearing a human guise.

Especially since the siblings had sneaked into Long Country behind their family’s back, even crossing the border into Fengzhou City, and the reason given by his cousin sister was...

"In a few years it’ll be the Jiuzhou Martial Arts Tournament, eh? How would we know who the masters are unless we go and see them in the Central Plains? If we siblings lose, it would bring shame to our family."

Right, it was for such a simple and boring reason.

Watching the cornered young man seemingly about to compromise, Yue Yue’s eyes still held curiosity. Although they had only interacted for a short time, she could sense that this kid was definitely feigning innocence.

But through what means was he planning to escape?

While the woman watched with great interest, her cousin instructed the boy behind her: "Right, it seems my Gu Worms have failed again this time."

"Although I can get them to move, they only exhibit instincts with no consciousness and become agitated once inside the body, not heeding my commands at all. It looks like I’ll have to find a way to rear new Gu Worms."

"And once they smell the blood, they go crazy. Cousin, do me a favor and dig up another hundred corpses of wild wolves for me... Hey hey hey! What’s wrong with you?"

His legs went weak and he almost fell directly from the tree.

His expression was as uncomfortable as if he’d eaten a fly. The pitiful cousin said with a grievous face, "Cousin sister, I’ve almost dug up every wolf tomb within ten miles just to scrape together a little over fifty corpses for you. Where am I going to get a hundred from?"

"And these corpses all stink to high heaven."

"Can’t we just switch to fresh ones? How about I catch some live ones for you?"

Tears were almost shedding.

Originally, Cen Yueyue had planned to go for a stroll in the State City. When she proposed this plan, it nearly scared him into kneeling and kowtowing several times to this niece.

He wouldn’t have been so scared if she planned to go to Central State City because the Central Plains are extremely accommodating to all forces and races. But the problem is,

Shuangfeng City had fought a war against them in the Southern Border just a few years ago.

Once their identity is exposed over there, how could they return?

With good luck, being captured alive might mean waiting for the clan to come and negotiate for his life, but with bad luck, dying on the spot was not impossible.

So, to restrain his cousin sister’s curiosity, he even went to the wilderness to search for fresh corpses of wild wolves, dragging them back for his cousin sister to nurture her Gu Worms.

And then...

This dragging went on for more than ten days. Even for them from the Southern Border Witch Clan, it’s impossible to deal with corpses every day, and these were dead, some almost rotting to the point of breeding maggots!

"No, no, Dad told us we can’t do things that harm the natural order. Those wolf packs didn’t provoke us, how can we use them to raise Gu Worms? But corpses, that’s okay."

"But, cousin sister, if you continue to raise Gu Worms, the uncontrollable Gu Worms might continue to attack the village."

The young man used all his intelligence trying to get out of the laborer role.

"It doesn’t matter. I gave that little brother an Elixir. Right now, the effects haven’t kicked in yet. In a few days when it does, the whole village will emit a scent undetectable to ordinary people. The Gu Worms won’t approach it when they smell it, and it’s beneficial for that little brother’s body too. He’ll be immune to the poison later, hee hee."

"I..."

Seeing his cousin sister’s determined look, he could only sigh. Aside from digging up those animal corpses, there seemed to be no other way. They certainly couldn’t just dig up a village’s ancestral graves.

But at this moment, Cen Yueyue’s crisp, energetic voice drew the young man’s attention.

"Hey, Zhuang Zhuang, look quick! That little guy jumped into the river!"

Curiously glancing into the distance, he saw that his peer, who always had quite decent Swordsmanship, actually dived into the river. He had asked his cousin sister if he should help rescue the Central Plains person.

Although he had had a conflict with his cousin sister, it was obviously a misunderstanding, and he only did it for protecting the villagers. But well,

His cousin sister was always very petty.

With their eyesight, of course, they could see Jiang Feng jumping into the river while also tossing something up, which Wu Fangsheng with quick reflexes caught at once.

Boom—

The terrifying roar made everyone present stare blankly as even the river stirred a wave.

"Cough cough, this, what Magic Treasure is this? My god, this, this must at least be a Xuan Rank Magic Treasure, right?"

Standing on the tree, Cen Yueyue couldn’t help but cover her mouth and nose and tried to fan away the dust, but her always simple-looking cousin brother stepped forward with a serious expression.

He gazed intently at the dust that hadn’t yet dissipated and spoke in the local dialect of the Southern Border quite sternly.

"Cousin sister, we need to leave."

"This person is very dangerous. If that thing was thrown at you, I probably couldn’t block it. Even if I could, I would likely be crippled."

"From such a close distance, those below Core Formation would probably have a slim chance of surviving..."
