Chapter 107: Chapter 107 I Caught Him

He probably felt that Gu Youyou no longer had the strength to resist, the smile at the corner of his mouth deepening, a depth that was terrifying.

But Gu Youyou was also smiling, the curve of her lips turning into an ever-deeper smirk!

The savage showed a slight expression of surprise.

At that moment, Gu Youyou’s hand hidden behind her back stretched out, clutching a fist that smashed toward the savage!

Within that fist, a thin needle was unexpectedly clutched.

Soundlessly, the fine needle easily pierced into the savage’s waist!

The smile on the savage’s face froze, then instantly became rigid!

His grip loosened, unable to exert any force, and the hand that had been on Gu Youyou’s neck also went limp. Bending his head down, he looked at his waist in shock! Then, he fell straight to the ground!

It turned out he had met his match, luckily she was well-prepared. Gu Youyou broke into a cold sweat, and slumped to the ground!

This was the only life-saving measure she could think of at the moment, the first use of it turning out to be even more nerve-wracking than she had imagined.

She comforted herself, "The first time is always tough, the second will be easier. Next time, I must act more naturally."

Once her nerves had settled, Gu Youyou scrutinized the savage more closely!

Though his clothes were dirty and tattered, they were not the coarse cloth commonly worn by peasants but rather consisted of seldom-seen fine silks and satins, upon closer inspection, even embroidered with patterns.

Only the rich or noble could afford such garments; this man’s identity was no simple matter, and if Jin Zijin was seeking him out, Jin Zijin’s identity couldn’t be simple either!

The more complicated it became, the more Gu Youyou learned about him, the more uneasy she felt in her heart!

Gu Youyou tied the unconscious savage to a tree behind her, noticing it was getting late, she took her basket and went down the mountain to find Jin Zijin!

No matter what Jin Zijin’s secret was, since he helped her out of the little black room and brought her back to life, she should also help him finish the business in Lotus Village, right?

Jin Zijin had already returned and was cooking!

He seemed to be a genuinely good man! Especially in this male-dominated ancient society!

Seeing Gu Youyou return, he finally looked up.

"Did you go up the mountain today?"

Gu Youyou set down the basket and said urgently, "I’ve caught the man you were chasing that day; I’ve tied him up on a tree on the mountain!"

Upon hearing this, Jin Zijin immediately stood up, looking at her incredulously, and asked, "Really?"

"Would I lie to you? Of course it’s true, he’s near the cave we used to live in!"

Jin Zijin looked at Gu Youyou with a cold expression, which again made her puzzled!

Having caught the man you’ve been looking for years, shouldn’t you be rushing to the mountain? Why are you glaring at me?

Moments later, Jin Zijin grabbed the half bucket of water and poured it directly into the burning stove, extinguishing the fire instantly, with a hissing sound!

Then, he grabbed Gu Youyou and ran toward the mountain!

Gu Youyou was slow to react; once they were out of the village, he tucked her under his arm like a briefcase, sprinting through the mountains with unbelievable speed!

Gu Youyou had never experienced anything like this; terrified, she clung tightly to his clothes, afraid to let go.

The speed was too fast, more thrilling than a roller coaster ride, making her feel as if her stomach was churning.

Aside from the sound of the wind, Jin Zijin’s pleased laughter reached her ears: "Don’t be so nervous, you need to get used to it!"

Gu Youyou felt like crying without tears; she realized there were indeed many things she still had to get used to!

They quickly reached the spot, but upon seeing the severed ropes, Gu Youyou felt even more like crying without tears!

Picking up the broken rope, Gu Youyou frowned and said, "He was drugged with an anesthetic, I didn’t expect him to wake up so soon. If I had known, I would’ve tied several more knots. Zijin?"
