Chapter 375: Chapter 373: Groin Kick (First Update)
"Big brother, there’s a nice plump little dog here. Let’s skin it and take it back to eat."
Huang Er stared at the fluffy Lai Mi, drooling.
In the bushes, realizing the Huang Brothers’ intention, Mu Shuangshuang gripped her machete a bit tighter, while Lu Yuanfeng’s bow and arrow were already quietly aimed at Huang Er’s back.
The Huang Brothers were adults and seasoned hunters, known around these parts. Their skills weren’t weak.
Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng dared not be careless, both seeking the perfect moment to deal with these thieving rogues.
But poor Lai Mi had been caught just like that!
Huang Er squatted down, flicking Lai Mi’s neck with his hand, swinging it back and forth as if it were on a swing.
Lai Mi’s "woof woof" sounded increasingly miserable.
Mu Shuangshuang’s eyes turned red. She was always protective; touching her was unacceptable—touching her things, even more so.
Mu Shuangshuang glanced at Lu Yuanfeng to see his reaction, but unexpectedly, he stood up.
Lu Yuanfeng consciously shielded Shuangshuang in the bushes.
Seeing the sudden appearance of a person, the Huang Brothers’ hearts sank. They knew this young brat probably heard what they had just said.
"Huang Da, Huang Er, put the dog down. It’s my hunting dog."
Lu Yuanfeng had an irresistible dominance on his face. He stared at the Huang Brothers like a wolf eyeing prey, ready to snap their necks if they dared move.
The Huang Brothers exchanged a glance, and Huang Da grinned, revealing a set of large yellow teeth.
"Oh, I was wondering where this mutt came from in the mountains. Turns out it’s Brother Lu’s. A gentleman doesn’t covet others’ favorites. In that case, we’ll return the dog to you!"
After speaking, Huang Da turned to Huang Er and said, "Elder brother, give the dog to Brother Lu."
"Got it, big brother!" Huang Er smiled, having grabbed Lai Mi by the neck before, now switching to grabbing its back.
Though Lai Mi was still somewhat injured, it was better comfortable.
Lu Yuanfeng frowned slightly, glancing at Huang Er to express his dissatisfaction.
Huang Er quickly got the hint and changed his posture, taking care not to let Lai Mi’s mouth touch him.
Dogs, unless recognizing the person, can bite indiscriminately.
Seeing the Huang Brothers cooperating like this, Lu Yuanfeng instinctively restrained his cold demeanor.
"Brother Lu, this dog... take it... it’s done." Huang Er suddenly slowed his speech, then tossed Lai Mi towards Lu Yuanfeng’s right side.
In a rush to save Lai Mi, the Huang Brothers charged at Lu Yuanfeng and started attacking.
As Huang Da’s wooden club was about to strike Lu Yuanfeng, Mu Shuangshuang leapt from the bushes, swiftly stepped forward, and swung the club aside.
Seeing the sudden appearance, Huang Da was startled, his expression becoming increasingly ferocious.
"Elder brother, get them for me, let’s teach them a good lesson today!"
Lu Yuanfeng caught Lai Mi, set it on the ground, and immediately went to assist Mu Shuangshuang.
The four of them, Huang Da wielding a wooden club and Huang Er with a bow and arrow. Lu Yuanfeng initially rushed in to shield Mu Shuangshuang, but they would occasionally sneak attack, attacking simultaneously at times.
Mu Shuangshuang rejoined, her machete dancing to fend off Huang Da’s wooden club attacks.
But her physical strength could not quite match the already adult Huang Da.
After several rounds, Mu Shuangshuang gradually fell behind, struggling with defense.
Realizing Shuangshuang was easier to deal with, Huang Da said to Huang Er: "Elder brother, hit that nasty woman, she’s weaker."
With that, Huang Er left Lu Yuanfeng, and the two focused on Mu Shuangshuang.
Lu Yuanfeng was shocked, squeezing in to help Shuangshuang, but after a few hits, he was always pushed back, leaving Shuangshuang repeatedly at a disadvantage.
He nocked an arrow on his bow and shot at Huang Er.
The arrow hit Huang Er’s leg, and after a sharp scream, Huang Er also grabbed his bow and shot haphazardly at Lu Yuanfeng.
The air was suddenly filled with flying arrows.
Mu Shuangshuang turned and leapt, kicking Huang Da in the abdomen, causing him to step back in pain.
Mu Shuangshuang seized the opportunity to back up against Lu Yuanfeng.
Being able to entrust your back to someone means they are the most trusted person.
"Shuangshuang, later I’ll distract the Huang Brothers, you run." Lu Yuanfeng said without hesitation.
Mu Shuangshuang felt a sharp pain in her chest, gripping her machete tighter.
"You fool, we’re teammates. How can you just run away?" Mu Shuangshuang said.
"Fengzi, do you remember the martial arts set I showed before? Let’s try it. Later we’ll disarm the Huang Brothers of their bow and arrows and wooden club."
Mu Shuangshuang might not gain much advantage in long-range attacks, but once disarmed, her agility can compensate for the lack of strength.
Lu Yuanfeng replayed in his mind the martial moves Shuangshuang had used, nodding in approval: "Okay!"
This time, after a tacit glance at each other, Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng charged in.
Grappling and fighting naturally require close combat. When asked to disarm, Mu Shuangshuang kicked Huang Er’s bow and arrows away after a few bouts.
After separating Huang Er and Huang Da, Mu Shuangshuang clearly found it less burdensome.
With Huang Er injured, she was best suited to handle him. In a moment of Huang Er’s distraction, Mu Shuangshuang grabbed his legs, heavily kneeling at Huang Er’s weakest part.
"Ah..." Huang Er let out a miserable scream, clutching his groin, wailing as if his tail were on fire.
With his brother’s scream, Huang Da got distracted and was subdued by Lu Yuanfeng.
"Fengzi, let’s tie these two thieves to the big tree!"
Mu Shuangshuang looked coldly at the Huang Brothers.
Lu Yuanfeng picked up the rope in the bushes, tying Huang Da and Huang Er to the tree, making them realize they had totally lost.
Huang Da wore a miserably pleading face, looking pitifully at Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng.
"Brother Lu, we were just playing with you just now, can’t you... just let us go?"
Huang Er’s groin still hurt badly, his face turning blue.
He grimaced at Mu Shuangshuang, "Nasty girl, I won’t let you off."
"Who asked you to let off? You think you two can still return alive?" Mu Shuangshuang sneered at Huang Er.
Poor martial skills aren’t scary. What’s scary is being caught and still having a dull mind.
Considering the Huang Brothers’ attempt on Lu Yuanfeng’s life, she would certainly not let this pair off.
"You... you want to kill us?"
At that moment, Huang Da panicked, his gaze towards Mu Shuangshuang filled with fear.
Yet, he still didn’t believe a girl before him dared to kill.
"No, you wouldn’t, how could you dare?"
