Chapter 49: Kuroki Kourin (1)

  Kuroki Kōrin, has long been known for its horror.

  It is said that there are strange and terrifying creatures from ancient times lurking here, even plants that can eat people. With the treacherous terrain, no one dares to enter, and over time, this Blackwood Ancient Forest has become a notorious place in Mosel Ya City. Ordinary people tremble at the mention of Blackwood Ancient Forest, but occasionally, young masters from noble families come here to train, however, they do not dare to venture deep and only linger on the outskirts.

  The night is deep and dark, the bright moon is high in the sky, and the night of the ancient forest is even more desolate. The silence is deafening, the wind is gloomy, and occasionally a black shadow or two fly by, making one's heart tighten up, not daring to let go.

  "What the... what kind of place is this?" Weakly lying in the arms of the drunkard, Feng Qiexia looked around with some trepidation, although she couldn't see everything clearly in the dark night, but she always felt that this place was eerie and very frightening.

  At this moment, she couldn't help but grasp the hem of his garment tightly.

  "Now you know what it's like to be afraid?" He sneered, thinking she was fearless. Who would have thought that she too had a time when she was scared? Originally not planning to explain anything to her, he suddenly became interested: "This place is called the Black Wood Ancient Forest, a notorious haunted land in Moser City. No one dares to come here, and it's said that there are many ferocious beasts and strange things lurking around, such as huge vulture nests, endless swamps, and countless poisonous snakes, including lizards and toads! And then there's the terrifying man-eating vines... it's simply too numerous to count. It's all enough to make one's heart tremble with fear. Legend has it that in a bottomless deep pool lives a gigantic beast with a cruel nature, preying on humans for food. Many of our ancestors were afraid that the monster would come out and harm people, so they ventured in alone to try and capture it, but none ever returned... Hmm? Why are you not reacting at all?"

  Shouldn't she be afraid? Why is she smiling at him with a straight face?

  "Hehe!" Feng Qiexia raised an eyebrow: "You think you can scare me? Do you think I'm someone who's easily intimidated?"

  He looked at you with disdain, and you just pretended...

  "Whatever! Forget I said anything." He looked sulky.

  "Find a place for me to recover, preferably with a water source." Now she was both hungry and thirsty, extremely exhausted. No matter what he said, true or false, it had already been forced out of her! It's too late to regret now, so if she doesn't take care of her body, she'll be on the road to death.

  He glared at her fiercely, thinking she really took him for her servant! How ridiculous! However, under the moonlight, seeing her pale and weak appearance, he chose to remain silent.

  Forget it! This time I'll let her off as a woman. If she dares to provoke him again in the future, humph...

  Jing Ya lay in his arms, Feng Qi's eyes lightly closed, but she didn't dare fall into a deep sleep. This guy was unpredictable and had a volatile temper, and he also had every intention of killing her. If she fell asleep now, who knows if she would ever wake up again!

  "Sleep tight! If I were to kill you, at least it wouldn't be while you're asleep, because then I wouldn't get to see the look of agony on your face before you die." He saw right through her little trick, and the drunkard sneered at her. If he really wanted to do her in, she wouldn't have any room to resist now, what a...what's that thing called?

  Me too!

  Now if he wants to harm himself, she really doesn't have the ability to resist. Since that's the case, then she'll just believe him this once, and if she believes wrongly! Then it's just her fate. If she dies, she can't blame anyone.

  At this moment, a sense of calmness in her heart, all the fatigue surged up, and she soon fell into a deep sleep. Originally wanting to cultivate her inner energy to heal her wounds, she no longer had the strength to do so.

  Seeing her breathing finally stabilize and truly falling into a deep sleep, that drunkard had a look of entanglement on his face.

  She was so light, so small in his arms. He had never touched a woman before and didn't expect that holding one would feel this delicate. Her sleeping face looked peaceful, the severity of her injuries making her look less sharp and fierce, but more fragile instead.

  If it weren't for her previous ruthless and merciless behavior, perhaps looking at her delicate appearance would make one think she's just a harmless weak woman! Who would have known that hidden beneath her weak appearance is a thoroughbred little leopard?

  This is probably what they mean by "don't judge a person by their appearance"!

  The long road ahead, I don't know if it's because I've been alone for too long, but having someone by my side at this moment has somewhat alleviated the feeling of being worse off than dead. Especially when competing with her in wit and strength, my brain, which had been idle for many years, finally came into play. In this world, there are indeed such intelligent and extraordinary women! Especially when she calculated that man named Feng Moshi, he was completely seen through.

  However, the mistake was that she shouldn't have used the wine jug that he treasured as his life to smash him! Thinking of this, a bloody glint flashed in his eyes, revealing a murderous intent.

  He tightened his arms around her, and he really wanted to pinch her to death, but seeing her pale face sleeping soundly, he endured it: forget it! In this desolate ancient forest, if he killed her, he would be too lonely, so let's let her live a few more days for now.

  He let out a long sigh and the killing intent all over his body dissipated.

  At the same time, he did not notice that Feng Qiye, who had been sleeping with his eyes closed, slowly loosened his grip on the hilt of the rusty dagger.

  Who is Feng Qiu Huang?

  She was trained in danger from a young age, her parents from the previous life were afraid that she would be harmed because of her wealth, so they had someone train her since she was very young, at any time and place, things like assassination and ambush were common occurrences, everywhere, even at night she almost always slept with one eye open.
