With me here, what are you afraid of?

Chapter 36: With Me Here, What Do You Have to Fear?

As soon as the words fell, eight or nine figures slowly appeared. Leading them was the Young Leader of the Snake Nest Mercenary Group, Kyle.

"You're following me?"

Seeing Kyle and the others before her, Xiao Yi Xian's delicate brows furrowed, a hint of frost appearing on her pretty face.

"Of course, you can think of it that way. I saw you acting suspiciously a few days ago, but I didn't pay much attention then. However, today, you've been gone for a long time, so there must be something hidden. That's why we followed you to the intersection." Kyle chuckled sinisterly, his tone full of smugness.

"Kyle, I can share the treasures in this cave with you. Let's just mind our own business, okay!" Xiao Yi Xian's eyebrows shot up as she said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Kyle chuckled sinisterly, "My appetite is huge. I don't just want all the treasures in this cave; I want you to be my woman!"

Listening to Kyle's arrogant words, Xiao Yi Xian's delicate fists clenched slightly, anger clearly showing on her pretty face. She was also a little flustered inside because the sleeping medicine she had prepared earlier had already been used on Xiao Tian. Now, she was powerless to resist.

However, just as Xiao Yi Xian's mind was racing, thinking of a strategy, a sturdy hand suddenly wrapped around her slender waist, gently pulling her into an embrace.

"I'm sorry, you're too late. She's already my woman." Xiao Tian pursed his lips, glancing at Kyle with a half-smile, and said domineeringly.

Seeing the woman he desperately pursued being held in another man's arms, Kyle instantly flew into a rage. He waved his hand and shouted grimly:

"Damn it, kill him! Seize Xiao Yi Xian! How dare he touch the woman I've already claimed!"

As soon as the words fell, the eight burly mercenaries behind Kyle charged towards Xiao Tian with fierce eyes.

"You... what nonsense are you spouting? Who's your woman!" At this moment, Xiao Yi Xian, held in his arms, blushed. She struggled and glared at Xiao Tian in embarrassment and anger, scolding him coquettishly.

"If you want to get out safely, stop struggling." Xiao Tian looked down at Xiao Yi Xian's exquisite pretty face and said calmly.

Hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian paused for a moment. Finally, she obediently stopped struggling. Instead, she raised her beautiful eyes to look at Xiao Tian. Rather than being captured and insulted by Kyle, it was better to be taken advantage of by this guy. At least he looked more pleasing to the eye.

After her thoughts raced, Xiao Yi Xian finally bit her red lips slightly and leaned into Xiao Tian's warm embrace with a flushed face.

At the same time, the eight burly mercenaries had already drawn their weapons and charged at Xiao Tian with murderous intent.

However, when they were only three meters away from Xiao Tian, suddenly, the greatsword in Xiao Tian's other hand swung out fiercely.

"Snowfall in the Human World!!"

Almost instantly, the Profound-tier High-grade Dou Technique - Snowfall in the Human World - was easily unleashed by Xiao Tian.

In an instant, the air temperature plummeted, and heavy snow began to fall all around. The entire cave was enveloped in a cold wind that made people tremble.

Following that, these snowflakes, like thousands of sharp blades, whistled past!

Pfft, pfft~

Amidst a series of muffled thuds, bodies fell to the ground one after another, their deaths gruesome.

When Xiao Tian retracted his greatsword, the entire cave returned to peace. Only Kyle stood frozen in place, his face filled with shock and fear.

He had never dreamed that the young man before him could kill eight of his elite mercenaries in a single move!

This scene was naturally witnessed by Xiao Yi Xian, who was nestled in Xiao Tian's embrace. Her beautiful eyes blinked, and a strange light flickered within them.

For some reason, from entering the cave to dealing with the Rock Snakes, and now, Xiao Yi Xian had somewhat greedily enjoyed the sense of security Xiao Tian provided.

This inexplicable sense of security, though overbearing, was so overbearing that it made her somewhat attached and reluctant to leave, causing a strange emotion to quietly sprout in her heart.

As this wonderful emotion spread, Xiao Yi Xian's face became even more flushed. She even shyly lowered her head.

"No, don't kill me! I was wrong, I was wrong!"

Just then, seeing Xiao Tian's gaze fall upon him, Kyle trembled all over in fear and immediately knelt on the ground, begging Xiao Tian for mercy.

Seeing this, Xiao Tian looked at him with disdain and said calmly, "Weren't you very arrogant just now? Why are you such a coward now?"

Kyle's face turned pale, and he trembled all over, looking extremely fearful and apologetic. He quickly kowtowed and apologized, "I'm sorry. I was blind and offended you and your woman. I beg you to be magnanimous and let me go..."

However, no one noticed that at the moment he was begging for mercy, a sinister and resentful glint flashed in the corner of his eye.

As long as he kept his life, he could always find a way back. Once he returned to the Snake Nest Mercenary Group, it would be Xiao Tian's death day.

But, unfortunately.

His plan was destined to fail.

Looking at Kyle, who was kneeling at his feet and constantly begging for mercy, Xiao Tian's face showed no trace of pity.

"You dare to set your sights on my woman? You're courting death!"

Xiao Tian snorted coldly and thrust his sword out. Kyle immediately bled profusely and died on the spot.

"You... How could you kill him too!" At this moment, Xiao Yi Xian looked at Xiao Tian with some shock, a deep worry appearing on her pretty face.

"Kyle is the Young Leader of the Snake Nest Mercenary Group. Although his strength isn't too high, his father, the leader, is a Nine-Star Dou Master. Moreover, I heard that the Snake Nest Mercenary Group recently recruited a master at the Dou Grandmaster realm. Once the Snake Nest Mercenary Group seeks revenge, we will definitely be in trouble!" After saying that, Xiao Yi Xian stared at Xiao Tian with a tense expression, anxiety flickering in her eyes.

Xiao Tian seemed to not hear Xiao Yi Xian's reminder. His eyes were fixed on her beautiful face, and he said calmly:

"With me here, what do you have to fear?"

Hearing this sentence, which was full of security, Xiao Yi Xian was slightly stunned for a moment. The anxiety on her beautiful face gradually dissipated, replaced by an unusual blush.

For a moment, the atmosphere was quiet.

After a long while, Xiao Yi Xian broke the silence first and said:

"We... We should quickly take the treasures in the cave and then find a way out!"

After speaking, Xiao Yi Xian broke free from Xiao Tian's embrace and went to the stone platform to search for treasures.

The rare medicinal herbs from before had already been completely dug up by her and carefully stored away. As for the treasures on the stone platform, she hadn't touched them yet.

"No need, I only took one Dou Technique. The rest are in this Storage Ring. You can take it!" Xiao Tian shook his head and said calmly, then tossed a storage ring to Xiao Yi Xian.

Upon receiving the Storage Ring, Xiao Yi Xian was stunned. She subconsciously opened it to examine its contents.

A moment later, Xiao Yi Xian's beautiful eyes widened, and she looked at a colorful scroll in disbelief.

"It's the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture!"

Looking at the ancient scroll, a flush of excitement appeared on Xiao Yi Xian's delicate face, and her beautiful eyes rippled.
