Mi Yuan ignored Cao Shao and slashed at him with her broadsword.

Before, when Mi Yuan was possessed by the evil spirit, it took several of them working together to restrain her.

Now, in a one-on-one fight between Mi Yuan and Cao Shao, Cao Shao had no power to fight back.

It was basically a one-sided beatdown by Mi Yuan.

Every now and then, Mi Yuan would kick Cao Shao, leaving many footprints on his body.

However, compared to the physical pain, Cao Shao's heart hurt even more. He felt like he was about to have a heart attack from anger.

Pain!

So painful!

He clearly hadn't done anything, Qiao Yu was the one having fun, but he, Cao Shao, was the one getting beaten!

Cao Shao couldn't understand no matter how hard he tried, why did things turn out this way?

Why? Why the hell?

Even Wu Chengfu couldn't bear to watch anymore and turned his head to look at the corner.

After kicking Cao Shao dozens of times in a row, the anger in Mi Yuan's heart finally dissipated.

She let out a long sigh and said to Cao Shao, who was lying on the ground.

"With this kind of strength, don't go around looking for people to fight next time!"

*Pfft!*

Cao Shao spat out a mouthful of blood, purely out of anger.

The resentment in his eyes grew even stronger. He, Cao Shao, would definitely make Mi Yuan and Qiao Yu pay the price!

After beating Cao Shao to vent her anger, Mi Yuan clapped her hands and walked back to the shelter with satisfaction.

Seeing Qiao Yu still there, her brows furrowed again.

"What are you still doing here?"

"Sister Mi Yuan, you're not going to make me stay with Cao Shao, are you?"

Qiao Yu smiled wryly.

"Don't worry, I'll just stand guard for you at the door. I won't go in."

Mi Yuan turned her head to look at Cao Shao, smiled faintly, and said.

"Whatever, but if you dare to come in, I'll castrate you and hang your treasure in the Jing Shi Fang."

After saying that, Mi Yuan walked into the shelter.

Jing Shi Fang? (Eunuch Chamber)

Qiao Yu was stunned for a moment, then he realized what she meant and felt a chill down below.

Good heavens, she wanted to castrate him! How come this Mi Yuan was just like Zuo Cheng!

The night grew darker, and the night wind blew the water vapor from the Di Hun Lake, bringing a chill.

Cao Shao and Mi Yuan had already returned to their respective shelters to rest.

Qiao Yu sat in front of the bonfire at the entrance of the shelter, his forehead veins bulging, cold sweat dripping, and he couldn't help but gasp softly.

He had just tried several ways to remove the wooden seed from his chest.

He had even tried cutting the flesh directly, but it was useless.

The roots of the wooden seed had already penetrated deep into his body, and every time he tried to remove it, he would only suffer a burst of severe pain.

"Qiao Yu, what's wrong? Is it too cold outside? Your face is so pale."

Qin Qianxue heard the noise and came out, looking at Qiao Yu with some concern.

"I'm fine, Sister Qianxue. You go back to sleep, I won't disturb you again." Qiao Yu forced a smile.

Qin Qianxue raised her hand to feel the night wind, then frowned with her beautiful eyebrows.

"So cold? No, you come in and sleep."

"Ah?"

Qiao Yu was a little dazed. Sleep inside?

Could it be that Cao Shao was right, Qin Qianxue really liked younger men?

If he refused, would that be considered going against a woman's wishes?

Alas! It was too difficult for boys to protect themselves outside!

"Yeah, come in. Our shelter is quite spacious. You can just take a wooden board and make a partition in the corner," Qin Qianxue said.

In order to avoid being sent in to use a sewing machine for violating a woman's wishes, Qiao Yu obediently carried a wooden board and followed Qin Qianxue inside.

What they didn't notice was that the moment they entered the shelter,

a dark shadow flashed past them and darted into the shelter where Cao Shao and the others were.

"Shh! Mi Yuan and the others are already asleep. Keep your voice down, don't wake them up."

Qin Qianxue's breath was like orchids, and the warm air she exhaled tickled Qiao Yu's ears.

Qiao Yu looked inside and saw that Mi Yuan was indeed asleep, in a very unrestrained sleeping position.

Tang Lan opened her eyes the moment Qiao Yu came in, glanced at Qiao Yu, and closed her eyes again.

Qiao Yu consciously walked to the corner and put the wooden board down.

A simple small cubicle was partitioned off just like that.

After Qiao Yu lay down, he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep no matter what. A burst of fragrance kept rushing into his nostrils.

In this environment, Qin Qianxue shouldn't have had time to put on perfume, so this scent was... Qin Qianxue's natural fragrance?

Thinking of this, the beautiful scene he had just seen once again appeared in Qiao Yu's mind.

His blood almost rushed out of his nostrils again.

After tossing and turning countless times, Qiao Yu finally fell into a deep sleep.

Qiao Yu had a dream in which he appeared in an unfamiliar environment.

There were countless people surrounding him, their eyes full of disgust, as if he was some heinous existence.

And the person standing at the very front was Qin Qianxue.

She was still as beautiful as ever, her eyes filled with tears, looking at him with disappointment.

"You lied to me."

"I want you dead!"

Accompanied by a shrill scream, a water blade pierced through Qiao Yu's heart.

Sharp, cold, bone-chilling.

The high-pressure water blade was sharper than a real treasured blade.

Even in the dream, Qiao Yu felt his heart aching.

Death completely swallowed Qiao Yu's consciousness.

In an instant, everything fell into darkness, and Qiao Yu also fell down.

"Fuck!"

Qiao Yu suddenly opened his eyes and sat up abruptly.

He almost hit the roof of the shelter because he used too much force.

He felt a strong palpitation and a sense of weightlessness in his heart.

Qiao Yu reached out and touched his chest, and it hadn't been pierced.

"Was it really just a dream?"

Qiao Yu muttered to himself, why did Qin Qianxue want to kill him in the dream?

What did she mean when she said he had lied to her?

He shook his head, throwing all the thoughts out of his mind, and then pushed open the wooden board and walked out.

Qin Qianxue and Mi Yuan were already up.

"Awake? Wash your face and get ready to go."

Qin Qianxue waved her hand gently, and a handful of clear water appeared in front of Qiao Yu.

"Thank you."

Qiao Yu took the water and washed his face with his hands, and then he had time to observe his surroundings.

Cao Shao and Wu Chengfu were also up, but what was a little strange to him was that.

Seeing him come out of Qin Qianxue's shelter, Cao Shao didn't even react?

Could it be that this middle-aged man had suddenly changed his ways?

Seeing Qiao Yu looking at him, Cao Shao raised his hand and pushed his glasses up, showing Qiao Yu a kind smile.

Qiao Yu didn't feel any kindness at all, on the contrary, he felt a chill down his back.

Cao Shao was actually showing him kindness? That was really Guan Yu using his Green Dragon Crescent Blade to cut his ass – an eye-opener!

"Be careful, the two of them have been acting a little strange since this morning," Tang Lan whispered to remind Qiao Yu.

"What did you find?" Qiao Yu asked.

Tang Lan opened her mouth, then closed it again, her eyes looking behind Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu turned his head following Tang Lan's gaze, and the old man who called himself the lake keeper was walking towards them with a cane.

And the big yellow dog guarding the door was also limping behind the old man.

"Good heavens, the man and the dog are both lame?" Qiao Yu thought to himself.

So it really was starting out with a dog, huh?
