When Xiao Yun's hand touched the smooth skin of Lu Ruanhong, he realized that her body was unusually cold. At the same time, he felt her entire delicate frame trembling, and the coldness of her tears falling onto his shoulder...
Cold tears.
And the soft sound of her sobbing.
He suddenly felt a bit dazed; in his entire life, he had never bullied a woman to this extent.
In that moment, he felt like the biggest jerk in the world!
Usually, he could not stand seeing a woman cry. No matter what kind of woman Lu Ruanhong was, she had her own dignity as a person!
—Indeed, she had brought people here today to eliminate him, but in her eyes, he was the enemy who had killed her best friend Bai Man. She had her own reasons for seeking revenge for her friend.
In this world, what Xiao Yun feared most was a woman's tears. Even with a heart forged from steel, under the assault of a woman's tears, it would turn soft and pliable.
Thinking from another's perspective, Xiao Yun found that the hatred he held for Lu Ruanhong suddenly vanished in that moment.
"Sister Ruanhong, don't be afraid. It's just a harmless snake. Come down and put on your clothes!" Xiao Yun's tone suddenly became gentle as he freed one hand to try to remove her arm from around his neck.
"No, please... don't let me go. I'm scared..." Lu Ruanhong clung tightly to him.
At that moment, Xiaocao and Xiaohua were peeking from behind a large tree, trying to see what was happening. They probably hadn't seen their Boss Lady for a long time and wanted to check in on her.
But what they saw left them stunned—
This was a situation with Divine Horse! How could Boss Lady be without clothes, hanging onto that guy named Xiao and unwilling to let go?
Uh, could it be that they really got together?
Boss Lady brought them here to eliminate Xiao Yun; how could it be that in such a short time, the two seemed so intimately close?
This is not scientific!
What kind of trick did that person with the surname Xiao use to make our Boss Lady suddenly unable to leave him?
"Xiao Hua, what do you think Boss Lady is doing with that person named Xiao?"
"Well, they must be kissing, right? Didn't you hear that person named Xiao say he wants to French kiss Boss Lady?"
"What is a French kiss?" Xiao Cao asked with a curious expression.
Xiao Hua's imagination ran wild as she explained, "Hmm, it's like a tongue fight between two people..."
Meanwhile, Xiao Yun could only continue to support Lu Ruanhong's soft and delicate body, comforting her by saying, "There's nothing to be afraid of. How about this? It's getting late, and such a big snake would be enough for us to have a nice lunch. I'll kill it!"
As he spoke, he threw a wind blade at the large snake.
Whoosh!
The snake, which had just been coiled up, was instantly sliced into several segments and lay motionless.
Lu Ruanhong was stunned. This guy didn't have any weapons in his hands; how did he just wave his hand and kill the snake, cutting it into pieces?
The fear in front of her vanished instantly. Only then did she realize she was still bare and hanging on Xiao Yun's body. She let out a startled yelp, released her grip, and felt utterly embarrassed, her pretty face turning as red as if it were about to bleed.
Looking at the dense grass ahead, she still felt a trace of fear, worried that another snake might suddenly spring out from the thick bushes, causing her to hesitate.
Xiao Yun watched her shy and frightened expression and couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. This proud and even somewhat domineering beautiful woman actually showed such a timid side.
He walked over, picked up her clothes, and handed them to her, saying, "Put this on; I'll prepare a delicious snake meat feast!"
Lu Ruanhong seemed a bit moved as she took the clothes and turned around to put them on.
Xiao Yun took out a small knife from the ring and began to peel the snake skin. The snake was over two meters long, thick and tender. Before long, there was a pile of white tender snake meat stacked on a clean stone beside him.
Then, Xiao Yun picked up some branches, started a fire, and used a knife to shave a few more branches, skewering pieces of snake meat and placing them over the flames to roast.
At this moment, Lu Ruanhong had already put on all the junk she bought from the street vendor, and to her surprise, it seemed as if it had been tailored just for her—neither too big nor too small, it fit perfectly.
Once she was dressed, Lu Ruanhong couldn't wait to distance herself from Xiao Yun; he was too frightening. Just staying near him for another minute felt unbearable.
However, as soon as she took a step, she stumbled and nearly fell to the ground. She didn't even have the strength to call for the two Bodyguards to help her.
Earlier, due to the leakage of evil energy within her body, she had experienced spontaneous combustion that drained her stamina to its limits; she could hardly move.
The fire that Xiao Yun had kindled brought warmth to Lu Ruanhong's entire body. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and leaned against a tree trunk, sitting on a stone to warm herself and rest a bit in order to recover her strength quickly.
She silently watched Xiao Yun roast the snake meat, pondering just how much power was hidden within him. How did he manage to kill that large snake with just a wave of his hand?
Before meeting him yesterday afternoon, Lu Ruanhong had already sensed Xiao Yun's prowess from Hong Qichang's trembling voice. At that time, she thought that if she ever had the chance to meet such an impressive person, she would see what he was really like—someone who could destroy a building with a single punch. Was he truly a legendary figure?
She had an idea: if Xiao Yun really possessed such great abilities, she would find a way to bring him closer to her. Having someone like him by her side would be like adding wings to a tiger. Bai Man was her sworn sister; her death indeed made Lu Ruanhong feel sad and angry. However, in the face of benefits, she could overlook past grievances as long as Xiao Yun could be of use to her.
But Lu Ruanhong never expected that because of her useless nephew, she would meet Xiao Yun so soon. Even more unexpectedly, during their first encounter, this guy had easily defeated her without giving her any chance to fight back. Just look at the cheap clothes she was wearing now; clearly, they were arranged for her by this guy in advance.
Crackle...
The snake meat sizzled under the heat of the fire, producing faint sounds while an enticing aroma quickly spread through the air.
"Sister Ruanhong, have you ever eaten snake meat?" Xiao Yun asked with a smile while roasting the skewers.
Lu Ruanhong shook her head with her arms crossed and said, "No, this stuff is really terrifying; just looking at it makes me shudder..."
In life, many women fear snakes, mice, and even cockroaches. In fact, what could be more terrifying than humans in the eyes of those animals?
To satisfy their appetites, people can mercilessly kill any animal. It is said that in some places, even cockroaches are served on tables.
On this planet, the most brutal animals are undoubtedly humans. Even interactions between people often maintain a certain level of vigilance due to fear of being outsmarted by others.
Xiao Yun certainly wouldn't share these thoughts with Lu Ruanhong; she should understand these matters just as well, if not better, than he does.
He picked up a piece of roasted snake meat and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing heartily. "So delicious, the flavor is truly exquisite!"
As he spoke, he handed a skewer to Lu Ruanhong. "You should try it!"
The aroma wafting through the air was incredibly tempting. Lu Ruanhong even felt her stomach twitching in response, a natural reaction to delicious food.
She swallowed nervously and hesitantly took the skewer from Xiao Yun's hand.
"Is this... really safe to eat?" At that moment, Lu Ruanhong looked like an innocent girl, her eyes wide as she cautiously asked Xiao Yun.
She even added, "I'm worried that if I eat snake meat, will little snakes grow in my stomach?"
No matter how fierce Lu Ruanhong usually was, she couldn't escape her feminine nature. At that moment, in Xiao Yun's eyes, she was not only adorable but also charmingly cute.
Xiao Yun chuckled. "Have you ever heard of someone growing a cow in their stomach after eating beef?"
Imagining a large cow growing inside someone’s belly was quite a sight. Lu Ruanhong couldn't help but laugh at the thought, and her guarded demeanor relaxed instantly. She opened her lips and carefully took a small bite, followed by an exclamation of surprise as an incredulous expression crossed her face.
"Wow, this is really delicious!" She began to mimic Xiao Yun's actions, chewing eagerly.
Xiao Yun smiled. "Since it's so good, you should eat more to regain your strength!" He handed her several more skewers of snake meat.
Lu Ruanhong glanced at Xiao Yun with a strange expression and sighed inwardly; this man had his gentle and considerate side too!
The aroma of roasted snake meat drifted over to the other side of the forest. The little grass and flowers perked up and exclaimed in unison, "So fragrant!"
Following the scent, they discovered their Boss Lady and Xiao Yun gathered around a fire, seemingly enjoying some delicious food. Their stomachs rumbled in response, both feeling quite hungry.
"What do you think our Boss is eating with that guy named Xiao? It smells so good," Little Grass asked Little Flower while wiping away drool.
Little Flower replied eagerly, "I don't know. It seems like they might really be falling for each other!"
Xiao Yun's spiritual sense was exceptional. His eyes were fixed on the two of them in the distance, and he had already heard every word they said.
He secretly felt pleased and stood up, waving at Second Girl while calling out, "Stop peeking over there, come eat with us!"
Upon hearing this, Second Girl excitedly ran over.
However, when she arrived, her expression was one of shock—roasted snake meat?
It was the first time they had seen Lu Ruanhong enjoying roasted snake meat so much.
"Go ahead, it tastes really good!" Lu Ruanhong smiled and encouraged them.
Since Boss Lady dared to eat it, they naturally mustered their courage and took some roasted snake meat from the fire to taste. Once they tried it, they found it incredibly delicious.
The three women were eating happily while Xiao Yun busily continued roasting more snake meat for them.
"How is Leopard doing now?" Xiao Yun asked Xiaocao and Xiaohua.
Xiaocao replied eagerly, "We've already helped him into the car!"
Xiao Yun took a few skewers of roasted snake meat and handed them to Xiaocao, saying, "Take a few skewers for him to try!"
"He's currently holding his chest in pain and crying out. Can he eat anything?" Xiaocao asked with some concern.
Xiao Yun smiled and discreetly took out a pill from his Storage Ring, saying, "Let him take this pill first. I made it myself. In less than three minutes, his broken ribs will heal completely!"
Lu Ruanhong and Second Girl were both taken aback upon hearing this.
What kind of pill could reconnect broken ribs in less than three minutes?
Xiaocao skeptically took the pill and quickly grabbed a few skewers of snake meat before leaving.
After a while, Xiaocao ran back with an excited expression, saying, "It's truly amazing! After Leopard took Brother Xiao's pill, he really got better in no time!" Now she was genuinely calling Xiao Yun "Brother."
By the way, they were just bodyguards under Lu Ruanhong. Seeing their boss and this man getting along so well, what did they care?
Lu Ruanhong looked at Xiao Yun in surprise; this guy was truly something extraordinary!
"Xiaocao, Xiaohua, I've grilled some snake skewers. You can take some to eat!" Xiao Yun said.
Xiaocao and Xiaohua exchanged glances, seemingly understanding the implication of Xiao Yun's words. He was clearly saying something intimate to their Boss Lady, so they shouldn't be there as a third wheel.
The Second Girl exchanged knowing looks and took a few skewers of grilled snake meat, saying, "We won't interrupt your sweet talk. We'll head out first!" The two turned and ran away.
In front of the campfire in the dense forest, only Xiao Yun and Lu Ruanhong remained.
Originally planning to ambush and eliminate Xiao Yun here, Lu Ruanhong now felt a wave of panic. How could she not understand Xiao Yun's words? He was clearly trying to send the Second Girl away on purpose.
Sure enough, after the Second Girl left, Xiao Yun began poking at the fire with a stick and slowly spoke up, "Do you know why I killed that snake and grilled it for you?"
Hearing his question, Lu Ruanhong felt even more flustered. Could it be that he had some ulterior motive for inviting her to eat grilled snake meat?
Her face, which had just regained its rosy color with great difficulty, instantly turned pale again.
