Translator: Sissy That Walk
Liang Fengqi and his group changed their outfits after they parted with Luo Qianqian, Murong Yun and their team. They failed to get any wolfling, so they decided to try their luck and steal some serpent eggs.
They figured serpents weren’t social animal and the tended to live alone, serpents tended to protect their own territory from other serpents, so they had better chance stealing serpents eggs than wolflings.
Plus, if they could really steal serpents eggs successfully, they could domesticate the serpents and that could be so helpful in battles.
With that in mind, Liang Fengqi and his group were thrilled to go into action except Liang Yu.
Liang Yu looked rather distracted since she got reunited with her fiance Liang Fengqi, she couldn’t help thinking about Murong Yun.
‘Can I meet him again? How I wish I could be with a man like him, Murong Yun!’
‘The girl who is with him is more gorgeous than me, but I’m very beautiful as well, and I’m a strong martial arts cultivator, I’m sure that girl is a good-for-nothing, probably she can’t even protect herself!’
‘I shouldn’t feel inferior to her, I’m sure men like me better, I’m beautiful and capable!’
“Yu, how are you feeling, still in pain?” Liang Fengqi asked with concern, he noticed Liang Yu’s absent-mindedness and he was worried that Liang Yu was still in shock.
Liang Yu was an orphan, but she was adopted by the Liangs when she was a little girl, she and Liang Fengqi grew up together, Liang Yu was a decent martial arts cultivator and had won the elders’ hearts in the Liang Clan, so she successfully got engaged with Liang Fengqi.
They had both reached marriageable age and they were going to get married after this mission of exploring Monster Forest, this was like the last trial before their wedding.
Liang Yu showed a faint smile, she didn’t answer Liang Fengqi’s question and she asked a question instead, “Fengqi, those people we just met… why were they hostile against us after we said we are Liangs.”
Thanks to Liang Fengqi, Liang Yu knew a lot of secrets about their clan, but she couldn’t come up with a reason why Murong Yun would be so hostile against them.
She didn’t like that feeling at all, she didn’t want to be hated by Murong Yun.
“Have you thinking about this, Yu?” Liang Fengqi asked, his voice low and controlled, he didn’t understand why his fiancee had been thinking about those strangers.
‘Is it because Yu is fascinated by that man?’ Liang Fengqi thought, ‘That man indeed is very charming.’
Liang Yu knew Liang Fengqi got upset, she stroked his cheek, “Fengqi, don’t get me wrong, you are all I have in my heart.”
Liang Fengqi just stared at her as a reply.
Liang Yu sighed, “I just thought they saved us after all, how can we repay them? And… and it just baffles me why they were so hostile, I was worried what they would do to us once they find out who we really are.”
Liang Fengqi found what Liang Yu said made perfect sense.
Liang Fengqi felt better, he pinched Liang Yu’s nose gently and chuckled, “You are thinking too much, I sensed their hostility as well, but I’m not worried. The thing is we are the Liangs, one of the Three Families in the Jianghu Underworld, probably the leader of the Three Families soon. There are four of them in total, what can they do to us, please rest assured.”
Liang Yu smiled at Liang Fengqi, but she still couldn’t stop thinking about Murong Yun.
“How are your wounds?” Liang Fengqi was genuinely worried about her health.
“I’m fine.” Liang Yu replied, she was feeling better in spite of the fact that she still looked a bit pale.
“Good.”
Liang Yu was a beautiful girl, Liang Fengqi looked her up and down, she was wearing a baby green gown this day, the tassel on her hairpin was swinging in the hair, everything looked just so perfect, and her smile was just as bright as the sun.
However, Liang Fengqi wasn’t amazed by Liang Yu this day, and some other girl had sprang to his mind.
Liang Fengqi was shocked when another girl image emerged in his mind.
‘What is happening to me? Why would I think about the girl I just met in the morning!’
Liang Fengqi shook his head and tried to force the girl out of his mind, but the girl was more stuck in his mind.
The girl wasn’t wearing any makeup or hairpin, she was wearing a plain white outfit, but she was just so much more gorgeous than Liang Yu!
Liang Ao who was walking behind them chimed in, “Those men were hostile, but that girl named Qinaqian was so nice, the wolves ran away thanks to her.”
‘Her name is Qianqian, such a pretty name.’ Liang Fengqi thought.
‘Ao just said she is nice and friendly, it’s a shame that me and Yu are engaged, but I don’t think I stand a chance even without Yu given the way she looked at the man this morning.’
The group soon arrived at the serpents caves as well. Liang Fengqi had a decent amount of knowledge of Monster Forest considering this was probably the tenth time that he had been here.
He had seen a lot of death in this forest every time he was here, but he considered the casualties inevitable. He himself once was heavily injured as well when he was here on a mission, but he was glad he finished the mission.
He didn’t care much about the servants, he was just happy his brother and Liang Yu were saved last night.
“We need to be careful, remember we are not here to fight, serpents eggs is all we are looking for, run fast if anything shall happen!” Liang Fengqi ordered his group to cover themselves with the medicine powder to protect themselves.
“Yes, Young Master!” the servants answered respectfully.
“Ao, Yu, stay with me, let’s not get separated.” Liang Ao followed Liang Fengqi and Liang Yu who were walking hand in hand.
