Chapter 1170: Chapter 1170: Honey, You’re So Kind (National Day Quadruple Release)

Xi Yu always has a knack for appearing by your side at just the right moment, offering warmth and consideration, and knowing exactly what you need, anytime, anywhere.

But at the moment, what Hua Jieyu exhibited from beginning to end was the image of a standard femme fatale.

Perhaps in her mind, such an image could attract men, but it only serves to make you feel somewhat repulsed. If you didn’t know it was Xi Yu, you probably would have kicked her away long ago. And now you have to play a game of approach and avoidance with her, acting with your own wife, which is just painfully absurd!

"Hey, why are you leaving, don’t you want the Demon Wolf’s crystal anymore?"

"Keep it for yourself, at least you can answer to your boss when you get back." You waved your hand and walked away without looking back.

"Hey."

Upon the mention of the boss, Hua Jieyu’s expression changed over and over again. This time, Hua Jieyu didn’t follow but stood still, lost in thought.

Indeed, there must be some trickery involved.

You didn’t think too much about it for the time being. The most important thing now is to become stronger and to find the other four Veins of Elements.

The following noon, you finally arrived at Gordon City. Upon entering, you headed straight for the human branch of the Beauty and the Beast Mercenary Group. However, when you got to the branch, the person responsible for taking care of Su Su told you that Su Su had already left, leaving a letter for Xing Kong and Yu Ye:

"Brother Xing Kong, Elder Sister Yu Ye, thank you for taking such good care of me during this time. I must return now, as there are issues in my clan that need my attention. If fate allows, we shall meet again."

Not once did the letter mention you, and you even doubted whether Xing Kong’s words to you were a lie. You asked more about Su Su, but the female mercenary who took care of her was hired after Xing Kong left, and she didn’t know much about Su Su’s circumstances. According to her, Su Su had left three days ago with her kin, and she was taken away by a handsome man from the Fox Clan, along with some attendants.

Hearing this, you couldn’t help but let out a long sigh, a sense of helplessness welling up inside you.

In this world, not only is your strength severely limited, but the most vexing thing is having to find six wives.

Thinking of the word ’wife,’ Zhao’er’s face naturally surfaced in your mind, prompting a soft sigh from your heart.

This time, you’ve really been played by that youngster Li Zichen!

You sighed softly, purchased some dry food and water, and set off alone toward Jugong City, located to the northeast of Gordon City. According to the map you bought, to get to Jugong City, you would have to go through the Misty Forest and River Zimu, then cross over a small mountain range named Altai, before finally reaching Jugong City.

When buying the map, you specifically asked the shopkeeper for the shortest route to Jugong City. The shopkeeper looked at you up and down with a surprised expression, and after a long while, he said, "Young man, are you kidding me? You seriously plan to go there alone?"

"What’s the matter, is there a problem?" you inquired.

"Don’t even mention crossing the Altai Mountains, thinking of cutting through the Misty Forest alone is even more difficult than ascending to heaven."

"Hehe, I’ve come out of the Misty Forest before. Besides the fierce beasts, there’s nothing much there. And it’s a good opportunity for me to improve myself." In the end, you learned about a so-called shortcut from the owner, albeit a more dangerous one.

"Wu." Before you had even left the Northern City of Gordon City, the Little Fire Wolf in your arms let out a sound.

"What, are you hungry already?" You laughed and took out a strip of jerky from your pocket. No sooner had the Little Fire Wolf seen the jerky than it bit into it and then snuggled into your arms, chewing slowly. Looking at the little treasure in your arms, you felt a surge of warmth in your heart and sighed, "No matter what, at least I’m not alone now."

However, it was rather strange. Logically speaking, the Little Fire Wolf should not yet have teeth since it was just born, but now it could chew on the slightly tough jerky with relish. The Little Fire Wolf seemed very dependent on you, almost as if it saw you as its biological father.

"Wuu wuu." The Little Fire Wolf quickly finished the jerky and stretched out its adorable little head, blinking its bright eyes at you.

"Little guy, try not to be so greedy on the road, okay?" You patted the Little Fire Wolf’s head and set out alone from the northern gate of Gordon City, taking advantage of the early daylight.

"Hey there, handsome, need a lift?" Just as you stepped out of the north gate, Hua Jieyu’s seductive smile once again appeared in your line of sight, and she skillfully brought her carriage to your side.

"You haven’t left yet?" You felt somewhat bothersome about Hua Jieyu’s persistence, and intuition told you that this woman must have some ulterior motive in approaching you. You certainly didn’t think it was out of fondness due to the influence of the Seal of Truesky.

"Didn’t I already say? Wherever you go, I’ll follow," Hua Jieyu said with a coquettish laugh.

"Grr!" At this moment, the usually docile Little Fire Wolf glared at Hua Jieyu and even barked at her a few times.

"Oh, what a cute little guy. Come here, let elder sister give you something to eat." Like magic, Hua Jieyu produced a piece of fragrant meat, which she waved in front of the Little Fire Wolf. The wolf, enticed by the meat, soon capitulated. It is still a child, after all, and with undeveloped intellect, it’s the easiest to fool.

In fact, Hua Jieyu had been following you all along, but the clever woman hadn’t shown herself directly, choosing instead to observe from the sidelines. Seeing how much you cared for the Little Fire Wolf, she figured she’d use it as a point of leverage.

Hua Jieyu coaxed and deceived the Little Fire Wolf out of your embrace, and before long, they were getting along famously. You looked on helplessly at the Little Fire Wolf being cuddled in Hua Jieyu’s arms. The little fellow was currently squeezed between her abundant bosom, probably dizzy from the unique feminine fragrance emanating from her.

"Giggles, this little one is really adorable." Hua Jieyu tossed a flirtatious look at you, "Brother Mu Yun, what do you think we should name our little treasure?"

Hua Jieyu really knew how to seize an opportunity, establishing a "married" relationship with you in just a few sentences. You wanted to take the Little Fire Wolf from Hua Jieyu’s arms, but it seemed to have taken a liking to the soft sensation of her chest, and it was very reluctant to leave. Regardless of your attempts to lure it out, the wolf wouldn’t budge.

With no other option, you boarded Hua Jieyu’s carriage: "You and the Little Fire Wolf go inside the carriage; I’ll take the reins." You placed the package inside the carriage, then took Hua Jieyu’s place.

"Mmmh." As she got up and you sat down, Hua Jieyu suddenly planted a kiss on your face, giggling and saying, "Dear, you’re so nice."
