Gu Jiaojiao said nothing.
'I'll need medicinal herbs for many things in the future. There's no way I can stop going up the mountain.'
Her clear defiance made Leng Yuan's temples throb.
'His young wife usually seemed so sweet and obedient, but she was actually quite stubborn.'
However, Leng Yuan didn't argue the point with her. With her still on his back, he walked over to the wild boar.
As Leng Yuan approached, he deliberately aimed the light away from the boar. When Gu Jiaojiao looked toward it, all she saw was darkness.
Leng Yuan squatted down, grabbed a pig's leg, and began dragging the animal down the mountain with Gu Jiaojiao still on his back.
Lying on Leng Yuan's broad back, Gu Jiaojiao finally relaxed. She felt utterly exhausted and starved. She glared at the wild boar beside them and spoke viciously.
"When we get back, I want it chopped into pieces. We'll strip the meat from the bone and eat it. That's the only way I'll feel avenged."
