"Erzhu, I..."
Wu Qingyu was immediately anxious and called out, but Chen Erzhu paid her no mind.
Wu Qingyu stood there, face full of grievance, tears welling in her eyes, thinking, I didn't even say anything!
Beside her, Xu Yang looked smug, like a villain who had just succeeded. Watching Chen Erzhu walk away, he shouted, "Haha, could it be that this guy is feeling guilty because I hit the mark? It must be so. Qingyu, you should thank me for saving your life. Otherwise, if you foolishly followed this guy, you'd probably be dead by now!"
Wu Qingyu was furious and yelled at him, "Get lost, don't follow me!"
Then, she quickly chased after Chen Erzhu.
If she had to choose between Xu Yang and Chen Erzhu, she still felt Chen Erzhu was more reliable.
Seeing this, Xu Yang's smile froze, and he cursed venomously, "You little wench, just wait. One day, I'll make you obedient!"
"Qingyu, wait for me!"
He shouted and chased after them.
"Erzhu, don't misunderstand. I really didn't mean to doubt you. It's all Xu Yang's fault for spouting nonsense!"
Catching up to Chen Erzhu, Wu Qingyu patiently explained, her face sincere.
Chen Erzhu glanced at her and smiled faintly, "I'm not angry. I just didn't want you to misunderstand."
Wu Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "As long as you're not angry, Erzhu, I trust you!"
At this moment, Xu Yang caught up, but Wu Qingyu didn't give him a good look, and as for Chen Erzhu, he couldn't be bothered to even glance at him.
Seeing this, Xu Yang was seething with hatred, his mind racing to come up with a way to deal with Chen Erzhu. But after thinking for a long time, with his limited knowledge, he couldn't come up with a better plan.
He could only temporarily abandon his revenge plans and silently follow behind them like a shadow.
Ahead, Chen Erzhu and Wu Qingyu walked slowly, with Wu Qingyu actively trying to find topics to talk about, while Chen Erzhu appeared a bit aloof, passively answering some of her questions.
Seeing this, Xu Yang was grinding his teeth in anger.
He couldn't understand what was so good about Chen Erzhu, an eunuch?
Why would a beauty like Wu Qingyu take the initiative to approach him? This story is hosted at g.com.
He had tried every trick in the book, pursuing her for months, but this wench hadn't given him a single chance.
In desperation, he had planned to take advantage of Wu Qingyu's trip to the mountains to gather herbs, intending to force himself on her and make her his.
But unexpectedly, Chen Erzhu, this bastard, had ruined his plan.
Thinking of this, his hatred burned even more, but for now, he really couldn't do anything to Chen Erzhu.
Remembering how Chen Erzhu had dealt with him, he wondered if this guy was secretly practicing martial arts. It seemed that in the future, he'd need to bring more people if he wanted to deal with him!
He pondered this secretly.
Just then, a tiger's roar suddenly echoed.
The sound came so abruptly that all three of them were startled, and judging by the sound, it was very close.
Their faces changed drastically.
Wu Qingyu's face turned pale, her beautiful eyes widened in terror, and her tongue trembled, "A... a tiger! There's a tiger??!"
As for Xu Yang, his legs went weak, and he fell to the ground, his body trembling slightly, his face ashen with fear, "There... there really is a tiger!!"
Only Chen Erzhu stood there, his expression serious and focused, scanning the surroundings. Not only was he unafraid, but he also felt a faint excitement rising within him.
In the past, he might not have reacted much better than Xu Yang.
After all, this was the legendary king of beasts, the apex predator of the forest, the South China tiger!
But now, he felt a thrill, his blood seemed to boil.
Of course, this excitement was tinged with a bit of nervousness.
After all, it was his first time encountering a real wild tiger.
Xu Yang's legs were too weak to move, so he could only crawl towards a large rock nearby, as if leaning against it would give him some sense of security.
Wu Qingyu was already pale with fear, her body tense, looking around in terror.
At that moment, another heavy tiger roar echoed, this time even closer.
"Ah..." New chapters come out on g.com first.
Wu Qingyu screamed and instinctively dove into Chen Erzhu's arms, as if his embrace was the safest place.
Chen Erzhu was speechless.
A soft, delicate body pressed against him without warning, and he could clearly feel the incredibly soft sensation, causing his blood to surge.
The faint, virginal fragrance of Wu Qingyu filled his nostrils, while her heavy breathing echoed in his ears.
This beautiful woman was truly scared out of her wits, her face pale, her soft, jade-like arms tightly wrapped around Chen Erzhu's strong waist.
Chen Erzhu looked at her, speechless, "Um, Qingyu, I'm not quite used to this!"
Wu Qingyu was stunned, then realized what she was doing, her face flushing red with embarrassment.
It was purely an instinctive reaction earlier; she hadn't even thought about it.
But now, seeing herself throwing herself into his arms, clinging so tightly, she could even feel Chen Erzhu's strong heartbeat.
And the intense masculine scent from Chen Erzhu overwhelmed her senses, leaving her momentarily dazed.
She quickly let go, too embarrassed to meet Chen Erzhu's eyes.
Just then, suddenly, a pig-like scream came from behind them.
Both of them were startled, turning to see Xu Yang, eyes rolled back, collapsing on the ground.
Goodness, the guy had fainted from fear.
The tiger seemed uninterested in him, standing on the rock, coldly watching Chen Erzhu and Wu Qingyu.
Wu Qingyu was petrified, her pretty face devoid of color.
She stared wide-eyed, mouth agape, unable to make a sound.
Meanwhile, Chen Erzhu's body tensed, staring intently at the large tiger, his gaze unwavering.
