Chapter 56: What is Waste (2)

  Thank you dear: Three diamonds and three fresh flowers sent by Zero Below, tears are very fond of, pounce, how many...

  ……

  For a moment, Huo Zui was confused about his understanding of the two words "waste".

  "Let's go!" Feng Qijia spat out the wild grass in his mouth and jumped up, saying to the man and the beast.

  "Where are we going?" Huo Zui was lost in thought for a moment, and he was slightly dazed.

  "Feng Qiexiao gave him a strange glance: 'Of course, I'm looking for a way out of this dark forest! Feng Muyan, that old scoundrel, actually dared to break the clan rules and bring people here to kill me. How could I let him get away with it? My life as Feng Qiexiao has always been about rather owing the world than letting the world owe me. Anyone who wants me dead will not have a good ending.'"

  In that instant, an invisible aura of killing intent burst forth, truly astonishing.

  In her past life, she had been hurt once, and in this life, she vowed that no one would ever hurt her again.

  A hint of sorrow seeped out, making Huo Zui's heart skip a beat. Could it be that she too had something to grieve about? His thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the night they first met, when her expression was despondent, her heart filled with despair, and her eyes brimming with pain. She had truly been seeking death, and if not for running into him, she might still be lying somewhere, waiting for death.

  It's probably because she almost fell and broke her front teeth that she wanted to get herself killed, then shifted her attention to being cruel to herself, otherwise she might not have survived this quickly.

  She was drunk and laughed bitterly, but she herself didn't know whether to consider him her benefactor or enemy.

  Feng Qi said those words with a resentful tone, looked around for a moment, and then continued walking forward.

  One man and one beast followed silently.

  The trees in the ancient forest are lush, with branches and leaves blocking out the sky and sun, a vast darkness. After walking for a long time! Occasionally, a few rays of sunlight pass through the slightly sparse leaves to shine down, still cool and shady, making one's heart tremble.

  It's indeed worthy of being called Kurokiba no Mori! Just this eerie atmosphere alone is enough to scare people off and make them not dare to come forward!

  "Huo Zui, didn't you say that there were many ferocious beasts in this Hei Mu Gu Lin? How come we haven't seen a single one on our way here?" She also wondered what the magical creatures of this world looked like. (Of course, she had subconsciously ignored that certain shape-shifting beast she had picked up unexpectedly!) She was really curious!

  He glared at her with a hint of disdain: "You should be extremely grateful that you didn't encounter anything, otherwise, you wouldn't have made it out of this Blackwood Ancient Forest alive. The demonic beasts in this forest are quite high-level, and even ordinary spiritual beasts can fetch a good price if caught and taken out. That's why many adventurers and mercenaries take risks to come here every year. With some luck, they might even encounter a stray divine beast that wandered out from the central area of the Blackwood Ancient Forest. Unfortunately, they only dare to search for demonic beasts or herbs on the outskirts of the forest and don't dare venture deeper. It's said that there are super divine beasts or sacred beasts in the heart of the forest, but no one dares to go there." He glanced at Feng Qiniu again, his eyes filled with disdain: "Even the outskirts of the Blackwood Ancient Forest are not a place where a two-star Xuan Master like you can come. So leave quickly! Otherwise, your life will be in danger sooner or later."

  "Aren't you still here? What are you afraid of?" Feng Qiuye said with a calm and collected expression, "Do you want to take away my benefits without doing anything?"

  One hundred jars of good daughter red yeast, no matter what, must get back the principal, right? As far as she knows, it's worth a lot of gold coins, can't be wasted, isn't it?

  Huozui was immediately speechless, and then coldly said: "If I really encounter danger, I may not be able to take care of you, even if there are a hundred jars of wine as compensation."

  Life and wine compared, which idiot would choose wine?

  Although he was not afraid of death and still had some expectations, before the matter was done, no matter what the reason, he would never allow himself to die first.

  This person...

  Feng Qi's eyes immediately turned cold as she glared at him, although she had long known about his promiscuous nature, did he have to say it out loud? It was hurtful to her self-esteem.

  However, she couldn't get angry with him no matter what, because in reality, they were the same kind of people. When faced with real danger, neither would sacrifice themselves for others.

  But at the same time, she is also the most aware of this kind of person. If one has not endured the pain and harm that makes people feel like dying, if one has not tried to tear their heart apart with pain and transform into a state of being worse than death, then it's impossible to be as cold-hearted as her.

  Although they didn't talk much, she could say with certainty that this young man named Huo Zui must have experienced heartbreaking betrayal and hurt, which was why he became a drunkard, living a life worse than death, like a walking corpse. Otherwise, his personality wouldn't have become so twisted, nor would he be so hateful towards women.

  So she was very "tolerant" of him and didn't mind his affairs.

  What's more, they were strangers to begin with. The unexpected encounter in the rain led to a complicated relationship, but once they left the Blackwood Forest, they would become strangers again, like two parallel lines that would never intersect again.

  "Huh......" Feng Qiye, who was walking ahead, stopped in his tracks after seeing a pile of weeds.

  "What's wrong?"

  "Who would have thought that this Black Wood Ancient Forest is full of treasures! Now my injuries have a solution!" As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly put her hands on her hips and let out a loud, maniacal laugh: "Haha! Feng Moshi, you just wait for me, see how I'll deal with you, the family criminal who broke the clan rules and betrayed the Phoenix Clan, haha! Hahaha..."

  Someone almost got frightened by a sudden crazy outburst from someone who was drunk and slipped under their feet.

  Right after that, in his astonished gaze, he saw her suddenly dive into the pile of "weeds", and then she went all the way to search, being pulled by golden threads, he had no choice but to follow up. Finally, she stopped, but didn't come out for a long time. Only when she came out did Huo Zui see that she was holding a large bundle of things he couldn't understand, and he couldn't help but ask: "What are you doing with these?"
