Chapter 4: The Big Strip Tease

  The night wind is slightly cool, the clear light is faint, the forest of sunset under the moonlight, quiet and dangerous like a primitive jungle.

  Ling Wusuo was in a small squad of a vagabond tribe, at night, people generally gathered together to exchange and discuss, or talk about what they saw and heard during the day.

  "Last time, the Iron Wolf Forest Hunter tribe, just a small team went out and actually captured and killed a Sacred Domain Mystic Beast. Their strength is not much different from ours."

  "Haha, where's such a good thing? The other day, I bumped into a mid-level Sacred Realm Xuan beast, the Azure Winged Iron Wolf. Over 100 people were wiped out, including a Saint, and none of them escaped."

  "By the way, have you discovered any treasure recently?"

  ……

  In the forest of sunset, the moonlight is hazy, the bonfire is prosperous, a group of bold and unrestrained forest hunters, drinking and competing in martial arts, talking loudly from all directions, how carefree and exhilarating.

  "Wuduan, my father and the leader of the vagabond tribe, is still some distance away from here, but should be able to meet within a few days." Suddenly, Zhan Xiu remembered that Ling Wuduan seemed to have said he wanted to find his father for something important.

  "It's not urgent," Ling Wu Xiang smiled and nodded slightly.

  It's just as well, she should get to know these people first, if she brings it up rashly, perhaps it won't have the effect she had expected.

  Yu Wei sat beside Ling Wu Shuang, with a scowl on her face, staring intently at her, occasionally gritting her teeth and making grinding noises, but didn't expect to be completely ignored by Ling Wu Shuang from head to toe, not even giving her a glance, which made Yu Wei stomp her foot in anger.

  Zhan Xiuzhen turned to a middle-aged man beside her and casually asked, "By the way, Uncle Hong, how did you end up here?"

  He went back to the tribe directly, but unexpectedly met a small team of wandering tribes on the way. Moreover, Hong Shu usually followed his father's side.

  "I forgot to tell you, your father is not at headquarters now." The man with a thick beard and wild appearance, who was called Hong Shu by Zhan Xiu, said straightforwardly, "A few days ago, someone found a dangerous place in the central area of Lu Ri Forest. Your father has already taken people there." After finishing speaking, he added another sentence, "Most of the tribe's people are also rushing to that side, and we are the last ones left behind."

  "Center of the Setting Sun Forest?" Ling Wu Xiang heard these few words, and his eyes deepened slightly.

  Hong Shu looked at Ling Wu and burst out laughing, "What, little girl you're also interested in this? Those are all dangerous places"

  How could such a slender girl appear alone in such a dangerous place?

  Ling Wushuang's red lips curved slightly as she casually asked, "What kind of dangerous place is it?"

  "Most of the villagers have gone?" Zhan Xiu was even more astonished, this had never happened before.

  Hong Shu nodded, his expression becoming somewhat cautious. "It's not just our tribe, almost all the forest hunting tribes have received the news and are rushing to that place. This time, it's estimated to be the largest discovery of a treasure trove, with treasures gathered inside."

  Another term for dangerous terrain is treasure land.

  "It's like this" Zhan Xiu nodded, then he also had to follow and take a look.

  Hong Shu saw Ling Wusuo seeming to have interest, after finishing speaking, he smiled at her and teased: "Little girl, the place we are going is very dangerous. If you want to go see it, it's best to follow us closely and not wander too far."

  Although he couldn't see through the little girl's strength for the time being, judging from her appearance, she should be a young lady from a large family. A little girl like this, even if she has some strength, without experiencing life-and-death struggles, walking in such a dangerous area is also very likely to suffer losses.

  Upon hearing Hong Shu's words of concern, Ling Wushuang simply smiled and nodded, without saying much.

  Zhan Xiu fiddled with a branch in his hand, poked at the fire pit in front of him, and upon hearing Hong Shu's words, he shook his head with a hint of a smile. He was afraid that even if he were to take advantage of Wu Shuang, he wouldn't be able to gain much benefit.

  As soon as Hong Shu finished speaking, Yu Wei glanced at Ling Wu with disdain and added in a gloomy tone, "I think you'd better leave early, so as not to drag everyone down. At that time, I won't have the energy to take care of others."

  "Yu Wei, don't be rude," the elder scolded in a low voice, pretending to be annoyed.

  Yu Wei hummed softly, "I'm just telling the truth."

  Even if this woman has some skills, does she know or not that the surroundings of Lu Ri Forest are so dangerous? It's not just about having ferocious beasts, one carelessness and it could be fatal. If this woman dies, it doesn't matter, but if she ends up dragging down Zhan Xiu Gege, then it will be troublesome.

  "Unparalleled, Yu Wei is just that kind of temperament, don't bother arguing with her." Zhan Xiu also felt helpless, but for such things, it seemed like he had already gotten used to them.

  Ling Wushuang turned his head towards Zhan Xiuxiu and smiled, "Do I look like someone who holds grudges?"

  Zhan Xiuzhe looked at Ling Wusuo's nonchalant appearance, his mouth twitching violently, he could say it was quite similar.

  Yu Wei sat beside Ling Wu Shuang, listening to her words that were neither light nor heavy. Her delicate face twisted a few times, and she glanced down at the two wine cups on the simple wooden table in front of her. She gave a fierce smile, and secretly exchanged a glance with the elder beside her.

  Someone tried to ease the awkward atmosphere, chuckling and saying: "This time, the place where it was discovered is really a treasure trove. It's said that someone on the outskirts picked up a sacred energy stone, and outside there are countless heavenly treasures that can't be counted. It's hard to imagine what the situation is like inside."

  "What?" Ling Wu Xue was truly surprised this time, even something like a Sacred Energy Stone existed.

  The atmosphere around suddenly became lively, and Hong Shu followed with a smile: "Yes, we guessed that there might be a godstone in that dangerous place, so when the news came out, almost all the forest hunters gathered there."

  Whether you can get in is one thing, even if you get in, with so many people, the competition will be extremely fierce.

  Zhan Xiu's expression suddenly tensed up, "There is actually a divine origin stone"

  It seems he has to go this time!

  "Shen Yuan Shi" Ling Wu Shuang slightly opened his mouth, the energy stone containing Shen Yuan's aura. These forest hunting tribe people actually knew this too, indeed not simple.

  Hong Shu saw Ling Wusuo's expression was somewhat surprised, thinking she didn't know what the Divine Origin Stone was. He smiled and casually explained: "The Divine Origin Stone is truly a good thing, but the energy contained within it isn't something ordinary people can touch." After finishing speaking, his tone changed again, "However, this is just a rumor, whether or not it's true, nobody really knows."

  After all, he hadn't even seen what a divine origin stone looked like.

  Ling Wusuo nodded secretly. In the spiritual energy of this world, there was no divine origin energy, but in some special places, divine origin stones might appear.

  Yu Wei glanced at Ling Wu Shuang with a thoughtful expression and whispered, "Uncouth country bumpkin"

  "If that's the case, then all the better." Ling Wu Xue's red lips curled up slightly, and a hint of determination flashed in her eyes as she showed genuine interest in the dangerous place they had mentioned.

  Saint Energy Stones can be picked up in the border areas, let alone other treasures!

  The people around him, hearing these words, also burst into a commotion instantly.

  "This time, there will definitely be a big harvest. It seems that we need to speed up our journey. If we follow behind others, I'm afraid even the dregs of the treasure won't be left."

  "But this time, I'm afraid the danger level is also not low"

  Everyone has their own words, I have my own sentences, clenching fists and rubbing palms, with some expectation for the destination that is about to be reached.

  Yu Wei looked around, her delicate face floating with a friendly smile, picked up the large bowl from the wooden table in front of her, stood up beside Ling Wu Shuang, and smiled: "Ling Wu Shuang, about what happened before, I'm really sorry, please don't mind it, let me offer you a toast"

  Everyone heard this and looked over, surprised to the point of being somewhat bewildered. With Miss Yuwei's temperament of seeking revenge for every grievance, she would actually offer a toast to Ling Wushuang.

  Ling Wushuang lowered her eyebrows, glanced at the wine bowl handed to her by Yu Wei, and then looked at Yu Wei's smiling face with a hint of mischief in her eyes, "Are you referring to your special welcome method?"

  Yu Wei's face stiffened, and a wave of annoyance surged in her heart, but she immediately forced a smile and glanced secretly at Zhan Xiu, saying with a playful smile: "After all, you're going to travel with us, I don't want anyone to have internal conflicts. I'm being kind to you, are you not willing to give me face?"

  Yu Wei raised her chin and held out her left hand with the wine glass towards Ling Wu Shuang.

  Zhan Xi's thick black eyebrows furrowed slightly, feeling a bit strange, this didn't seem like Yu Wei's temperament.

  The two of them locked eyes for a long time, and suddenly Ling Wushuang smiled and took the wine bowl handed over by Yu Wei, "How could it be"

  "Then I'll take the lead." Yu Wei seemed to let out a sigh of relief, her beautiful eyes flashing with a fierce glint as she spoke. She raised her hand and downed the wine in her right hand bowl in one gulp, her actions quite bold and heroic for a woman.

  The wine in Ling's bowl was clear and transparent, reflecting the flickering flames around her. She smiled softly, raised her wrist, and downed the cup of wine.

  Yu Wei pulled at her lip, sat back in her seat, and seemed to stifle a laugh.

  Damn woman, just wait for embarrassment!

  Ling Wushuang sat back in her seat, her red lips curling up slightly.

  "Peerless" War frowned and looked at Ling Wu, earlier he was about to remind her not to drink Yu Wei's wine, but unexpectedly Ling Wu beat him to it, hopefully it was just his imagination.

  The stiff atmosphere soon passed, the bonfire was in full swing, drinking and chatting, to add to the excitement, on the grassland in the middle, there were also people practicing martial arts, in the dense thicket, this open space occasionally burst into applause.

  Yu Wei sat back in her seat, her eyes fixed intently on Ling Wu Shuang, how come he still hadn't reacted?

  Suddenly, a surge of heat burst out from her own chest cavity, like a string of electric current, striking her limbs and torso. For a moment, her entire body was numb, her face slowly turning red, and in the blink of an eye, she was flushed all over, as if drunk with wine.

  "What's going on......" Yu Wei was dizzy, with various figures flashing before her eyes, her body getting hotter and hotter, her mind a complete mess, unable to think at all.

  "Hahaha..."

  On the lawn in the courtyard, someone was practicing martial arts, and the people around formed a circle, drinking and chatting. Suddenly, from somewhere, a woman's unrestrained and flirtatious laughter rang out, causing them all to stop what they were doing and look around in puzzlement.

  Yu Wei's face was flushed with excitement as she smiled coquettishly, kicking away the table in front of her and jumping into the midst of the crowd.

  "Yu Wei!?" The Great Elder was perplexed.

  Yu Wei rushed into the arena, where two big men were practicing their martial arts. She covered her head and charged forward, letting out a series of high-pitched giggles and cooing: "Yu Wei will dance for you, okay? Dance, hehehe..."

  Two big men looked at Rainie who was obviously not normal and quickly ran away in fear.

  "Disgusting!" Yu Wei let out a giggle, and then her slender body twisted, and she actually started to slowly tear off the clothes on her own body!

  Ling Wu's eyebrows slightly raised, and she let out a surprised, gentle laugh, "Actually prepared such a good show"

  "It's so hot, I'm so hot..."

  Yu Wei irritably stripped off her clothes, one piece at a time, and spun around with her bare arms flying, her slender body twisting and turning. The cold wind swept past, and she couldn't help but let out comfortable low moans. In less than an instant, the pair of jade rabbits on her chest also jumped out!

  "Ah, so comfortable..." Half-naked, her slender body twisted and turned, Yu Wei's face was flushed with excitement, her mouth uttering soft gasps.

  The people around were completely stunned, and some even looked like their eyeballs were about to pop out.

  "Th...th..." The elder's body trembled all over, suddenly reacting, quickly getting up and taking a few steps towards Yuwei, grabbing her arm and pulling it violently, shouting loudly, "Yuwei, what are you doing!"

  "Grandpa, I'm dancing!" Yu Wei pushed away the old man with a frown, revealing large areas of skin, her clothes almost completely gone. She panted and said: "Don't stop me, I want to dance for Zhan Xiu Gege to see."

  War repair, the strong face is tight, the complexion has already been slightly greenish, and the people around are shaking their heads one after another. What's wrong with this Rain Wei girl? Which play is she singing now?

  "Nonsense! Get out of here!" The elder's face was no longer just ugly, but had turned a mixture of blue and red.

  "What's going on here?" The old elder growled in a low voice, his face alternating between pale and red as he looked around at the people, explaining: "Yu Wei had too much to drink."

  The old man stretched out his hand, pulled a few times without moving the person, and with one hand he knocked Ruyu unconscious. He quickly dragged her away, finally giving Ling Wusuo a vicious glare, how could this be, it shouldn't be like this!

  "What...what's going on here?"

  "Miss Yuwei, actually in front of so many people, started stripping and dancing, this is..."

  "I think he's had too much to drink"

  Everyone was shocked and speechless, for Yuwei who would rather die than lose face, it's impossible to do something so humiliating.

  Zhan Xiu thought for a moment before looking at Ling Wu with an odd expression and asking: "What's going on here?"

  Yu Wei's complexion was very abnormal, his intuition told him that it must be related to Wú Shuāng.

  "This has nothing to do with me" Ling Wu Shuang rubbed his nose, heh-heh laughed twice, and then even shamelessly continued: "I just happened to swap the two wine cups by hand"

  "Th...this..." Zhang Xiuying's face twisted in an eerie manner for a few moments.

  He is such a clever person, Ling Wu Shuang said so, and he immediately understood.

  But Yu Wei didn't expect that after secretly administering the medicine, just as she turned around and exchanged glances with Da Zhang Lao, Ling Wu Shuang beside her had already quietly swapped the two wine cups. The cup of wine intended to harm someone else ended up going down his own throat instead.

  Hong Shu beside him also stiffened his face and suddenly reacted, sizing up Ling Wushuang's eyes, which had become somewhat eerie.

  "This little girl" Zhan Xiu pointed at her with a mixture of laughter and tears, unable to deal with this unmanageable girl.

  Ling Wushuang shrugged indifferently, but this was also a kind of tranquility.

  The sudden situation was indeed strange and the atmosphere around was a bit stiff. At this time, someone suggested continuing with a few more exciting matches.

  "Haha, is there anyone who dares to challenge the young master? It's been a long time since I've seen the young master take action" A burly man pointed at Zhan Xiu.

  "Challenging Young Master?" Immediately, someone shook their head and raised a questioning voice, "There's no one here who can be Young Master's opponent. If you really want to spar with Young Master, I'm afraid he'll have to hold back his strength."

  Zhan Xiu's eyes suddenly lit up, and his gaze stayed on Ling Wushuang beside him, as if he had seen a rare treasure.

  "What's with that gaze of yours..." Looking at Zhan Xiu's piercing eyes, Ling Wusuo's mouth twitched slightly.

  Zhan Xiuyang raised his head and laughed loudly, suggesting: "Wu Shuang, why don't you and Zhan Dage exchange a couple of moves?"

  At these words, the eyes of the people around them all focused on Ling Wushuang's body. They hadn't misheard, had they? The young master actually said he wanted to spar with this little girl?

  "Alright"

  What was even more astonishing was that Ling Wushuang actually smiled lightly and nodded her head.

  "Hahaha" War God laughed loudly, his blood boiling with excitement. Unmatched was definitely a formidable opponent!

  Ling Wushuang put down the wine bowl in his hand, with a faint smile on his lips, but he didn't dare to underestimate his opponent. Although Zhan Xiu was a mid-tier Saint, his combat strength would not lose to that of a high-tier Saint!

  "This..." Hong Shu's gaze shifted between the two, sizing them up back and forth. He had thought the young master was just joking around, but looking at the situation, it seemed they really were going to cross swords!

  But this little girl...

  Digression

  Ugh, I've caught a cold and my head is all dizzy and muddled. I accidentally posted the wrong chapter. This is actually Chapter 4 of Volume 2 (Mainland Storm). To those who saw up to Chapter 95, just skip one chapter for now. I'll revise it when the editor gets back to work tomorrow. My head really hurts, so I'm going to bed early today. Winter has arrived, and you girls be careful not to catch a cold either! Group hug (╯3╰)
