Stunning Dragon Wife

Chapter 168: Chapter 167 Changes

Zhang Xiaoshan was acutely aware that, no matter what, he was living in an era of science and technology. Possessing such extraordinary strength was immensely beneficial to him, but it also meant he had to confront great danger. If his powers were exposed now, he estimated that either the authorities or some major genetic companies would capture him for research.

Therefore, he had made up his mind to be extremely cautious and develop covertly until he could truly protect himself completely before reassessing his situation.

Stay low-key, live in the city as a normal person, and only make plans after consolidating a dragon-shaped energy.

Seeing that it was not early anymore, Zhang Xiaoshan picked up two fish that were stunned to death, tidied up a bit, then, carrying the shotgun that had fallen with him yesterday, he turned back to the cave where Yu Xiuxiu was taking refuge.

By then, Yu Xiuxiu had also awakened from her sleep.

"How is it already daylight?"

She hurried out of the cave, intending to take Zhang Xiaoshan’s place so he could rest, but there was no sign of him outside.

"Little Shan."

She called Zhang Xiaoshan’s name anxiously, her gaze sweeping in all directions to no avail, growing more and more anxious.

"Sister-in-Law."

Suddenly, Zhang Xiaoshan emerged from the nearby woods.

"Where did you go? You scared me to death."

"I, you, if something had happened to you, how could I go on living?"

The moment she saw Zhang Xiaoshan, aggrieved tears immediately sprang from Yu Xiuxiu’s beautiful eyes.

Once a man and a woman have been intimate, their relationship immediately becomes closer. Yu Xiuxiu, in speaking, no longer possessed only the stern demeanor of a sister-in-law; she was more like a wife waiting for her husband to come home, leaving one feeling very vulnerable and fostering the desire to protect her.

When Zhang Xiaoshan heard Yu Xiuxiu’s almost coquettish voice, he clenched his teeth as if he had something he wanted to say.

Meanwhile, Yu Xiuxiu, realizing her lapse in composure, quickly tossed her hair back, adding a touch of dignity and coolness to her tone.

"I, what I mean to say is, you fell off the cliff with me because you were saving me, you, if something were to happen to you here, I wouldn’t know how to face your late brother, don’t misunderstand."

"I, I didn’t mean anything else."

Yu Xiuxiu vehemently denied that her feelings for Zhang Xiaoshan had changed, from originally seeing him as a brother-in-law to seeing him as the man she cherished, but her attitude only made it seem more like a case of protest too much.

"Big brother..."

Upon hearing Yu Xiuxiu’s words and thinking of his brother Zhang Dashan, Zhang Xiaoshan, who had just gathered the courage to speak to Yu Xiuxiu about something, suppressed it once again.

Perhaps both of them couldn’t get past public scrutiny.

"Sister-in-Law, I caught some fish; you cook them, and I’ll look for a way out of the mountains."

Zhang Xiaoshan changed the subject and handed the cleaned fish to Yu Xiuxiu.

Having taken advantage of Yu Xiuxiu the previous night, he still felt somewhat guilty and embarrassed to be alone with Yu Xiuxiu, seeking an excuse to leave.

"Hey, don’t go, I’m scared by myself..."

Yu Xiuxiu looked timidly at Zhang Xiaoshan.

Zhang Xiaoshan handed the shotgun to Yu Xiuxiu and said,

"Sister-in-Law, don’t worry. This seems to be a natural deep valley, and I didn’t find any wild beasts after wandering around this morning. Plus, I’ve scattered snake repellent. You keep this shotgun and stay in the cave. Before the sun sets, I will definitely come back to find you."

Hearing Zhang Xiaoshan say this, Yu Xiuxiu felt slightly relieved.

"Forget it, you keep the shotgun, you’re in greater danger."

Yu Xiuxiu was already very concerned about Zhang Xiaoshan, and the deep interaction between them the previous night had brought them even closer, with both already imprinted in each other’s hearts; they were merely acting tough due to their relationship as sister-in-law and brother-in-law.

Now, from the bottom of her heart, Yu Xiuxiu already saw Zhang Xiaoshan as her man.

Zhang Xiaoshan felt the same way.

"You keep it, if there’s danger, just pull the trigger randomly, and I’ll come back to find you immediately."

"I’m leaving."

Thinking of the crazy thing he had done to Yu Xiuxiu, Zhang Xiaoshan felt embarrassed and speechless, so he stuffed the shotgun into her hands and left.

Yu Xiuxiu looked at the retreating back of Zhang Xiaoshan, wanting to say something, yet in the end, she couldn’t bring herself to say it.

...

After leaving the vicinity of the cave, Zhang Xiaoshan began to run through the woods.

The mountains behind White Dragon Village were extensive; countless mountains connected, incalculable, stretching on for at least dozens of kilometers.

Having fallen off the cliff yesterday, Zhang Xiaoshan had lost his sense of direction and did not know his exact location.

Zhang Xiaoshan followed the direction of the sun for half a day until he came to a towering cliff.

"Is this a dead end?"

"Could this be a dead land surrounded by cliffs on all sides?"

Looking at the several-hundred-meter-high cliff, Zhang Xiaoshan frowned.

Given his strength, climbing up on his own was not a big issue, but taking Yu Xiuxiu up this several-hundred-meter cliff would be quite the pressure.

"Roar..."

While Zhang Xiaoshan was contemplating, a roaring sound as loud as thunder suddenly came from the woods.

"A tiger’s roar?"

"Are there really tigers in these mountains?"

Zhang Xiaoshan was truly startled.
