Crazy Woman

Walking along, Xian He suddenly sped up.

Because he noticed someone following him.

It was unclear what kind of person it was, but they were definitely not anyone good.

The moment Xian He sped up, the person behind him sped up as well.

As Xian He ran, the person behind him also started running.

"Who is it?"

"Who is following me?"

"What do they want?"

Xian He turned around abruptly and drew the Poisoned Dagger tucked at his waist.

The person following him came to a screeching halt.

Xian He narrowed his eyes and discovered that the one following him...

Was a pretty-faced woman!

Xiao Hou stared at the woman's delicate back through gritted teeth, cursing inwardly, Where did this damned woman come from, actually daring to ruin Big Brother's good deed!

He had just wanted to go up and shank Xian He in the kidneys when this bitch suddenly appeared, swept past him, and chased after Xian He.

He had no idea what she wanted to do.

The day before yesterday it was that limping old man, yesterday it was Xiao Kuang, and today it's this bitch. I just want to complete an assassination mission, so why are so many people popping up to meddle! Xiao Hou gripped the dagger in his sleeve tightly and strode past the two of them with a calm expression.

He turned into the small alley ahead and silently observed them both.

He had already lived enough in that rundown house; he had to finish the mission today!

On the street, Xian He crossed his arms, gave a slight nod, and sized up the woman following him.

"Who are you? What are you following me for?" Xian He demanded in a rough voice. He did not recognize the woman in front of him and had never seen her before.

"My name is Zheng Yue, Chen Jingjing's cousin. I heard she is at your place, can I see her?" the woman said unhurriedly.

"No!" Xian He refused outright. He would not bring any woman of unknown identity into the Inner World; what if she was a bad person and wanted to harbor evil intentions toward his wife and children?

The highest cultivation of those people in the Inner World was only at the Three-star Blue Radiance, while the woman in front of him was a Yellow Radiance grade martial artist and even carried two katana blades. Letting her into the Inner World would be like releasing a tiger into a flock of sheep.

Once the tragedy was done, it would be too late for regrets.

Zheng Yue sneered, untied the money pouch from her waist, handed it to Xian He, and said loftily, "Aren't you just after money? Here are one thousand five hundred Copper Coins, enough for you to buy another pretty female slave. Hand Chen Jingjing back to me immediately!"

She had just returned from hunting in the Endless Jungle at the foot of the mountain, and upon hearing from her family that her uncle Chen Zhou had been murdered by Greedy Wolf, she had rushed right over, only to find the Chen household long since abandoned.

As the captain of the Mystic Moon Hunting Team, she used her connections and network to quickly find out that Chen Jingjing had been bought at the slave market by a man named Xian He.

Before her mother passed away, she had instructed her to take good care of her cousin, so she would never let Chen Jingjing become a lowly slave or a toy for men's lustful entertainment.

"Chen Jingjing is already my woman now. No matter how much money you offer, I will not give her back to you." Xian He did not take the woman's money. "However, if you can prove that you are Chen Jingjing's cousin, I can arrange for you to meet her."

One thousand five hundred Copper Coins? Fifteen thousand Copper Coins wouldn't do either!

Aside from being his woman, Chen Jingjing was also responsible for the crucial delivery work.

Without her, once Grandma Chen took her final breath, there would be no way to guarantee his children's smooth birth.

Zheng Yue knitted her delicate brows, put away the money pouch, placed her dainty hand on the sword hilt, and threatened coldly, "Don't toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit! Hand Chen Jingjing back to me right now, or I'll slice off your ears!"

"Big Brother Xiao Kuang!" Xian He shouted suddenly.

Zheng Yue looked back, but did not spot Xiao Kuang anywhere.

By the time she turned her head back around, Xian He had already made off.

"Bastard! How dare you trick me!" Furious enough to pop a gasket, Zheng Yue broke into a sprint with her long legs, chasing wildly after him like an agile tigress.

The two of them quickly vanished, one after the other, leaving Xiao Hou bewildered in the alley.

He wanted to give chase, but he was afraid of drawing the attention of the Security Patrol, so he could only resort to a leisurely walk.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them disappeared around the corner of the street without a trace.

"Tomorrow and tomorrow, how many tomorrows can there be?" Xiao Hou sighed, and could only wait until tomorrow to carry out the assassination.

"Bastard! Get out here!" Zheng Yue stood at the entrance of the congee shop and shouted.

She had seen with her own eyes that Xian He had disappeared around this vicinity, so he definitely must have hidden inside the congee shop.

Old Man Yun walked out with his golden eyebrows furrowed, scolding with an unhappy expression, "Who are you calling a bastard? Try cursing again?"

"I'm cursing Xian He, make him come out!" Zheng Yue retorted in a sweet yet fierce voice.

Xian He?

Wasn't that brat off participating in the Azure Light Competition? How did he manage to provoke a shrew like Zheng Yue?

Old Man Yun blinked his old blue eyes and said in a gruff voice, "You've come to the wrong place, Xian He is not with me."

Zheng Yue was the only female warrior of the Yellow Radiance grade in the Sky Fortune Tribe, commanding a hunting team composed entirely of women—the Mystic Moon Hunting Team.

She had a hot-tempered and fierce disposition, and was best at hacking her prey into pieces. No one in the tribe dared to provoke her, and even Xiao Kuang hid when he saw her.

However, she spent year-round hunting in the Endless Jungle and rarely stayed in the Sky Fortune Tribe; she shouldn't have had any intersections with a homebody like Xian He, right?
