Xiao Jian shrugged nonchalantly.
Xiao Yixian's heart sank. How could someone so handsome be so cruel?
"Then… what exactly do you want?"
Her chest heaved slightly as she spoke, chest swelling in embarrassment.
"Heh, you sneaked into the woods, followed me, discovered the cave below… I didn't kill you immediately. What do you think I'm after?"
Xiao Jian smiled while scanning her waist briefly.
Thin… soft… smooth.
"I… I won't tell anyone!"
Xiao Yixian understood his implication but dared not respond directly. Any agreement would probably mean complete devastation.
"Even if I throw you off the cliff, you won't tell anyone. I'll take what's in the cave, train in the Monster Beast Mountains to Grand Dou Shi, then come out and sweep across Qingshan Town. How about that?"
Xiao Jian stepped toward her.
"I…"
Xiao Yixian knew she had no escape. She turned her head, closed her eyes, biting her lip in a humiliated, powerless pose.
Seeing her trembling, Xiao Jian retrieved a pill from his storage ring and approached.
Xiao Yixian's body trembled even more at the sound of his steps.
Suddenly, her face was forced to tilt as his hand pried open her mouth, and a spicy pill was shoved in.
"Ugh… cough, cough!"
The pill slid down her throat, leaving a lingering, spicy taste that made her cough.
"What did you give me?" she exclaimed, glaring at Xiao Jian.
"Poison. You're supposed to be skilled. Didn't you notice?"
Xiao Jian smiled.
"You!"
Her eyebrows shot up, teeth clenched.
"This is not the time for treasure hunting. Meet me here at midnight; I'll give you the antidote and we can explore together. Or, you can report me to the mercenaries and gamble with your life."
Xiao Jian remained calm.
The mercenary group were no match — even if he couldn't kill them all at once, he could carry her and break through.
Xiao Yixian froze. Did he have a death wish? Surely there was a catch!
Seeing her suspicious look, Xiao Jian smiled mischievously:
"Not agreeing? Then maybe I should… now?"
"Shameless! Threatening a weak girl like me! I have no choice… Fine, I agree!"
Xiao Yixian bit her teeth, resigned.
"Heh, let's go. We've been out long enough; time to head back."
Xiao Jian smiled faintly and turned toward the woods.
"Hmph!"
Xiao Yixian stomped her foot, following reluctantly.
When the two returned to the group, they found the resting mercenaries already anxiously waiting.
"Xiao Yixian, if you don't come back soon, I'll have to send someone to look for you."
Seeing Xiao Yixian emerge from the forest, a figure hurried over.
But when he noticed Xiao Jian behind her, his steps faltered slightly, and with a smile he asked, "And who is this young brother?"
"She should be a bodyguard among the mercenaries, just ran into him by chance," Xiao Yixian replied with a faint distance in her tone. Then she added:
"Young Master Muli, let's go. There's just a short distance left to our destination."
"Heh, very well," the young man called Muli replied with a smile, stepping aside for Xiao Yixian.
However, as Xiao Jian passed, he suddenly extended his arm to block him.
Xiao Jian simply glanced coldly at the fool.
"Heh, I mean no harm. You must be the young two-star Dou Zhe I've heard about.
Reports say your talent in cultivation is excellent," Muli said calmly with a faint smile.
Seeing Xiao Jian neither deny nor acknowledge, Muli continued:
"Interested in joining the Wolfhead Mercenary Group? We treat talented members like you very well.
Alone in the Monster Beast Mountains, life is always at risk. It's better to stick together."
Xiao Jian ignored the offer, saying coldly:
"If danger arises, I'll end up saving you anyway. Forget it."
