Chapter 1168: Chapter 1168 It Seems to Particularly Hate You (National Day’s Second Release)

"Ah, Brother Mu Yun, wait for me."

Hua Jieyu hurried to catch up, while you fiercely stepped up the pace, running swiftly.

To tell the truth, you wished more than anyone to embrace Xi Yu, but now was not the time.

Before the Seal of Truesky within her body could be unwound, she remained Hua Jieyu, not your wife, Xi Yu.

Just like with Su Su, the seal of the Seal of Truesky couldn’t be lifted at present, for you knew once undone, it may expose you to Li Zichen.

Li Zichen must be searching for your whereabouts, so you need to be more cautious with your actions.

Yu Ye glanced at the starry sky, reading a trace of worry in its gaze.

Xing Kong came to Yu Ye’s side, whispering: "Don’t worry, Brother Mu Yun is no fool; the lad is quite shrewd."

"Hopefully, that woman is a standard Fox Fairy; her ways of seducing men are incomparable to Su Su’s naivety."

"Let’s worry less about other people’s business."

Recalling her own "issues" with Xing Kong, Yu Ye’s already slightly furrowed brow became ever more intense.

"Brother Mu Yun, wait for me. We’ve walked the mountainous path for so long, my legs are sore."

The whiny and life-draining voice of Hua Jieyu echoed constantly in your ears; over time, you became somewhat immune to her "coquettish ways."

As to why Hua Jieyu would follow you, you’re not yet clear.

However, you believe she holds no ill will; after all, with the Seal of Truesky, as soon as both are within a certain distance, a feeling of kindred spirits and familiarity arises.

A mountain breeze blows your way, making you suddenly sneeze.

Although you changed into a new set of clothes in Moyun Village, the evening mountain breeze still brought a chill to your sprinting self.

Helplessly, you could only circulate the Fire Element within you, gradually warming up your body. However, you would not be foolish to make your body overheat, for there is already a beauty behind that heats up many men. If you were to heat up with the Fire Element now, you might do something foolish in the next second.

Alas, the woes of being a man.

No one knows why Hua Jieyu is following you; as the Fifth Householder of Black Flag Stronghold, it seems unlikely she would wander everywhere with you.

But since Moyun Village, she has been following you at full speed on the mountain trails. With your fast pace, she has almost lost track of you many times.

Could it be that she is following because of the feeling produced by the Seal of Truesky?

You quickly dismiss the thought, as from those shrewd beautiful eyes of hers, not a trace of affection is ever seen, only inscrutable deeper intentions.

"Brother Mu Yun, ah!"

The Hua Jieyu behind has used such tricks more than once; you may have fallen for them at first, but nowadays, you’d not be foolish enough to be deceived.

You let out a soft chuckle in your heart, then hastened your pace. But merely ten meters out, an anxiety-inducing roar met your ears.

Turning your head, you were shocked to find a fiery-red giant wolf blocking Hua Jieyu’s path. The beast sprang from the dense forest; as you traced its path, your heart sank further. The ground it crossed was scorched black, without a spark of fire, evidence of its advanced mastery of the Fire Element.

At this moment, Hua Jieyu did not call for your help. She believed you understood the wolf’s formidable strength and knew that the two of you were no match for it.

"Hey, why do I feel like it harbors a particular hatred towards you?"

You didn’t flee swiftly as Hua Jieyu had expected, leaving her behind.

What’s more, contrary to Hua Jieyu’s expectations, instead of leaving, you stepped behind the giant wolf, your hand already on the hilt of the Tusk blade.

"Why aren’t you running? This Mother Fire Wolf has lived for over two hundred years. Its strength is not something you can contend with."

Even now, Hua Jieyu couldn’t help but remind you, while secretly wishing to witness your embarrassing flee upon realizing the wolf’s might.

She had seen too many so-called companions flee when faced with trouble; Ling Han, to name one, had done just that moments ago.

"In its eyes, I saw a deep-seated hatred. Did you kill its cub or a relative before?"

At this point, Hua Jieyu was struck dumb with surprise, staring intently at your handsome face, she exclaimed, "How did you know? Fire Wolves are extremely rare Demon Wolves, and an adult one can withstand an army of a thousand Heavy Infantry. The Fire Demon once led us to hunt them. In order to capture the wolf cubs, the Fire Demon killed its mate, and at that time, it also sustained serious injuries. Its mate died protecting it."

"No wonder it wanted to kill you as soon as it caught your scent, even with its injured body."

Following your gaze, Hua Jieyu saw at the end of the wolf’s trail was a cave, merely a dozen meters away, which explained why she hadn’t sensed the wolf before—it had appeared before her almost instantly.

"Roar!" The Fire Wolf let out a deep roar, its massive body immediately engulfed in flames.

"Let’s hurry away! This creature is formidable. Without the Fire Demon’s Realm of Fire, we cannot handle it!" Hua Jieyu turned to run, but after only a few steps, she realized you were walking toward the Fire Wolf.

"What are you doing!?"

Hua Jieyu stood frozen in shock, noting the sudden change in your aura. It had become unimaginably gentle, like a harmless little animal, invoking a kindred impulse in anyone who beheld it.

You walked up to the Fire Wolf and extended your hand to it. The wolf itself seemed affected by your aura; the anger in its heart somewhat subsided.

However, a sudden sharp pain in its belly made the wolf roar again, and it bit down on your entire hand with its gaping jaws!

"Mu Yun!" Hua Jieyu covered her mouth in horror, her beautiful eyes naturally filled with a hint of sorrow.

"If biting off my hand would reduce the rage in your heart, then go ahead."

The Fire Wolf hadn’t bitten down hard; its teeth penetrated less than halfway into the muscles of your arm before it stopped all movement. Nonetheless, bright red blood spurted out, instantly staining the upper half of your body red.

"Don’t be angry anymore. If you keep being this angry, the cub in your belly won’t survive either. Wasn’t your mate sacrificed exactly for the sake of your cub?"

The gentleness of your aura intensified.

Although you were facing away from Hua Jieyu, she believed that if you turned around and looked at her with that gaze, she would disregard everything and throw herself into your arms, holding you tightly for a lifetime.
