Wu Jinliang, watching from the side, was rather displeased. "What about me? Why didn't you mention me at all?"

He could read, after all, and had seen Chuntian use "I" throughout, never "we." That last sentence in particular-was he, Wu Jinliang, a man who lacked heroic spirit in front of a beauty? He felt Chuntian was jealous of his handsome looks and towering stature, deliberately trying to hide his brilliance.

Shi Chun looked at him with contempt. "Lust clouding your mind again? Whether we can even find them is another matter. We don't know the situation over there, so we need to keep something in reserve. Do I really have to teach you that?"

"Uh..." Wu Jinliang had no answer.

Shi Chun put away the Mother-Child Talisman. "So there's an icefield here, and the monsters are actually afraid of the cold. I wonder what other useful information they've uncovered. We'll scout things out first. If we can team up and make use of them, we'll go together. Otherwise, we'll part ways. Come on, let's see if we can find them."

He certainly wouldn't interpret everything in terms of relations between men and women the way Wu Jinliang did, much less put on some display of heroism for Bian Weiying as Wu Jinliang imagined.

In a situation like this, indulging in that nonsense instead of putting escape first would mean he was sick in the head. It went against his rules for survival.

He had merely gone along with Bian Weiying's words and said what came naturally. Make a special trip to help someone out of danger in a place like this? He really wasn't that noble.

He had even less interest in Bian Weiying herself. It wasn't as though he hadn't experienced how dangerous that woman could be.

Who couldn't
