Hu Liena stared at the clothes in her hands, both embarrassed and furious.
How could he do this? All he knew was how to bully me.
Do I really disgust you that much?
But even if you want me to help wash your clothes, you could at least bring them over while wearing something.
What's the meaning of coming over in just a pair of underpants?
You might not care about your dignity, but I still care about mine.
"Um, Nana, how about I wash them?"
Yan glanced at Chu Hao, his face full of helplessness.
Seeing this scene, he was very angry.
But did he dare get angry?
Unless he didn't want to live anymore.
All he could do was walk over to help wash them.
"No need!"
Hu Liena roared angrily at Yan as he approached, then walked straight toward the stream.
It seemed that this roar had vented quite a bit of her anger.
Yan could only stand there, awkwardly rubbing his nose.
Poor Yan had become Hu Liena's target to vent on just like that.
"That's what you get for butting in. Satisfied now?"
"We'd better get the fire going first. Are you really comfortable dressed like that?"
Xie Yue slowly walked over and patted his shoulder, his face covered in a bitter smile.
Although he was also very unhappy with Chu Hao's attitude toward Hu Liena, there was nothing he could do.
Besides, wasn't it just washing one piece of clothing? It wasn't a big deal.
He even held a bit of expectation toward Chu Hao's behavior.
Could it be that Chu Hao was a little interested in his sister?
If that were really the case, then this could work.
If one day Chu Hao could end up together with his sister, that would be a tremendous happy occasion.
"Sigh..."
Yan sighed, walked over to the firewood, summoned his martial soul, lit it, and began drying his clothes.
As for Du Feng, he leaned alone against a tree trunk not far away, eyes narrowed as he rested.
"Stinky little Hao, damn little Hao, bullying me like this. Just you see how I'll beat you to death."
Hu Liena arrived beside the stream, threw Chu Hao's clothes directly onto the ground, and stomped on them hard while cursing, as if she wanted to release all her anger.
The poor clothes had become Hu Liena's punching bag just like that, suffering her "torture."
Little did she know, Chu Hao saw everything she did.
After he finished preparing the rabbit, he walked over.
When Hu Liena saw him, she hurriedly picked up the clothes, put them in the water, and scrubbed them hard, feeling slightly uneasy.
"If you don't hurry up and wash them, and keep talking nonsense, then don't eat tonight."
Chu Hao glanced at her, said coldly, then turned and walked back to the bonfire, where he set up the rabbit and began roasting it.
When Hu Liena saw that he had left, she secretly let out a sigh of relief. After sticking out her small pink tongue at him, she took off the clothes on her body layer by layer, then jumped into the water and carefully scrubbed away the bloodstains on her body.
By now, the sky had completely darkened.
Since Hu Liena had not brought any spare clothes, she could only wash her clothes clean in the stream and hang them by the bank, wanting to use the night breeze to dry them a little, hoping they would dry later.
As for her, she stayed in the water the whole time, enjoying the caress of the flowing current.
That cool, comfortable sensation refreshed her heart and mind.
The dissatisfaction she felt toward Chu Hao also gradually dispersed with the current at this moment.
At some point, a faint aroma of meat wafted over.
When Hu Liena smelled it, her stomach began growling.
She knew Chu Hao should be almost done roasting the rabbit.
But since her clothes had not completely dried yet, she had no choice but to stay in the water a little longer.
But as the aroma of meat grew stronger, Hu Liena grew hungrier and hungrier.
In the end, she really could not bear it anymore, so she could only walk toward the bank, intending to put on her clothes first.
But just as she was about to reach the shore, a flash of white light suddenly flickered from the opposite bank of the river and drifted past beside her, frightening her out of her wits and making her cry out loudly.
"Ah..."
Du Feng, who had been squinting, along with Yan and Xie Yue, whose attention had been completely captured by the roasted rabbit, all jolted when they heard Hu Liena cry out and tried to run over to see what had happened.
But at that very moment, Chu Hao had already moved. His figure flashed, and he suddenly appeared beside Hu Liena, scooped her up out of the water, and leaped onto the bank.
Then he immediately draped the clothes on the shore over her body, his expression cautious as he stared at the dense vegetation a dozen meters ahead, as if he had discovered something.
"Nana..."
At that moment, Yan, Xie Yue, and Du Feng ran over.
But when they saw the scene before them, they froze in place.
Still, Hu Liena had a piece of clothing draped over her, so they did not see anything.
It was just that the way Chu Hao was holding Hu Liena looked rather stunning.
"Ah..."
"All of you, turn around!"
Hu Liena looked at the three stunned men and cried out in alarm.
Seeing this, Du Feng, Yan, and Xie Yue hurriedly covered their eyes and quickly turned around.
Because they turned too abruptly, a breeze stirred up and blew down the already unreliable piece of clothing.
Seeing this, Hu Liena's eyes went wide. She quickly jumped down from Chu Hao's arms, blushing furiously as she picked up the clothes and draped them over herself.
Right now, she no longer had the attention to spare for whether Chu Hao had seen anything.
"Hurry up and get dressed. Nobody cares to look!"
Chu Hao stared fixedly at the vegetation not far away and reminded her coldly.
In truth, he had not moved only after hearing Hu Liena's cry. The moment that white streak had suddenly appeared, he had sensed something and reacted on instinct.
Carrying Hu Liena out of the water had merely been something he did in passing.
Since he did not know what it was, he did not dare act rashly.
After all, Hu Liena was still naked even now.
When Hu Liena heard him, she glared angrily at Chu Hao, then quickly ran behind him and put on her clothes.
Then she stormed back in front of Chu Hao, wanting to demand an explanation from him.
Chu Hao must have seen her entire body just now.
But before she could speak, Chu Hao swung his right hand and swept her back behind him.
Little did he know that this action directly touched Hu Liena's proudest area, practically making her explode with rage.
"Stay still. There's danger ahead."
Just as Hu Liena was about to erupt, Chu Hao's words instantly made her calm down, and she remembered that streak of white light from earlier.
Only then did she realize the direction Chu Hao was staring in.
Danger?
Du Feng, Yan, and Xie Yue were all astonished when they heard there was danger.
Du Feng in particular had been paying attention to their surroundings the entire time and had not discovered any danger at all.
But if there was no danger, why had Hu Liena cried out just now?
Just as Du Feng was utterly baffled, Chu Hao probingly launched a burst of sword energy toward the dense vegetation ahead.
At once, Du Feng, Yan, Xie Yue, and Hu Liena all shifted their gazes to the sword energy.
Suddenly, a streak of white light flashed out from the dense vegetation and shot straight toward the roasted rabbits, causing the sword energy to miss.
By the time the five of them reacted, one of the four roasted rabbits had already been carried off by the white light, which rapidly vanished into the night.
"Holy shit!"
"What the hell was that just now?"
After the white light disappeared, Yan, who had been frozen in shock, cried out.
Just now, aside from seeing that streak of white light, he had not made out anything at all.
And then one of the roasted rabbits was gone.
So it had actually come to steal a roasted rabbit.
"It was a white cat!"
But just then, Chu Hao's words made everyone freeze in place once again.
