"Are you alright?"
Xiao Li asked again, looking at the somewhat dazed Han Xue.
His smile was warm and gentle, as pleasant as a spring breeze.
Han Xue finally reacted, her pretty face flushing, and she quickly shook her head: "N-nothing."
"Thank you, Young Master, for saving me. This humble one is Han Xue."
"Just call me Xiao Li."
Her reaction amused Xiao Li.
Xia Mang was dead. Seeing this, the remaining venomous snakes immediately fled into the deep forest on either side.
But in the dense forest, two other figures were already waiting for them.
"Poison of Misfortune!"
Little Fairy Doctor raised her delicate hand, and purple-grey poisonous gas, like flames, instantly engulfed all the venomous snakes, melting them on the spot.
On the other side, Green Scale watched the fleeing snakes, her Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupils rotating.
"Jade Serpent · Spirit Control!"
Thump!
All the venomous snakes instantly fell under the illusionary control of the Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupils, then, under Green Scale's illusionary control, they self-destructed.
Not a single venomous snake managed to escape!
Han Chong and the others looked at the two women, Little Fairy Doctor and Green Scale.
They looked so beautiful and enchanting, yet they were utterly merciless in their actions.
It sent shivers down their spines.
Fortunately, they were helping.
If they were opponents, Han Chong wouldn't know how to deal with them.
"These two are Little Fairy Doctor and Green Scale, my companions," Xiao Li introduced them casually.
Looking at the two women's exquisite beauty, Han Xue was also incredibly amazed, then quickly greeted them politely,
"Han Xue greets both elder sisters."
Little Fairy Doctor was definitely older than Han Xue.
But Green Scale and Han Xue were actually about the same age.
However, Green Scale's cultivation was clearly stronger than her own, so it was not inappropriate for Han Xue to address her as 'elder sister'.
"We want to go to Tianbei City. Do you know the way?" Xiao Li asked again.
Han Xue thought about it briefly, then immediately said,
"Tianbei City? To be honest, Young Master Xiao, we are precisely from the Han Family of Tianbei City. If Young Master Xiao doesn't mind, you can follow our caravan to Tianbei City."
From their performance just now, Xiao Li and his two companions' strength was definitely not simple.
If they could secure their relationship for the Han Family, it would naturally be a good thing.
Moreover, besides the reason of strength, there were also some personal reasons.
Xiao Li had saved her just now, and she should repay him.
"Is that so? Will it trouble Miss Han Xue?"
Seeing hope, Han Xue immediately said: "No, no, Young Master Xiao just saved me, and we haven't had a chance to repay you yet."
"In that case, I'll trouble you," Xiao Li agreed.
He had come specifically to find Han Xue, so how could he refuse?
"Good," Han Xue's face lit up with joy.
Xiao Li and his two companions successfully joined Han Xue's caravan... The caravan only had two carriages left.
Little Fairy Doctor and Green Scale rode in one, and Xiao Li and Han Xue rode in the other.
As the carriage swayed, Han Xue looked at Xiao Li opposite her, her jade hands nervously intertwined, wanting to speak but hesitating.
Finally, she plucked up her courage and took the initiative to break the silence,
"Young Master Xiao... where are you from? Are you going to Tianbei City for something?"
"We are not from the North Region of the Central Plains. We are just going to Tianbei City to look around, like a tour," Xiao Li smiled.
"Is that so?"
Han Xue didn't know what topic to find.
After all, they had just met and didn't have much to talk about.
Just like that, the caravan quickly headed towards Tianbei City.
One day later.
As the caravan passed through a dense forest, countless arrows suddenly shot out from both sides, heading straight for the caravan.
Han Chong and the others reacted quickly, blocking all the arrows in a few swift moves.
But what truly made them wary were the crowds of people rushing out from the road ahead.
"Miss Han Xue, the two of us have been waiting here for a long time," two red-robed elders said, their gaze fixed on the carriage where Han Xue was.
"Hong Lie and Hong Mu, elders of the Hong Family?!"
Han Chong looked at the two elders, his face instantly changing.
At the same time, Han Xue also got out of the carriage.
Looking at the two people opposite her, her pretty face was cold: "I didn't expect that for a mere young woman like me, your Hong Family would dispatch two elders."
Not long ago, she had encountered an attack from the demon snake Xia Mang, and now she was met with an interception from the Hong Family.
Han Xue's mood also became heavy.
"There's no need for more nonsense. If Miss Han Xue doesn't come back with us, then we'll just kill all of you and then take you away," Hong Lie said expressionlessly.
The next moment, a terrifying aura of a Four-star Dou Huang erupted from him, the pressure like a colossal mountain, firmly pressing down on Han Xue and the others.
Han Xue gritted her silver teeth, enduring the immense pressure, but her gaze involuntarily turned to the carriage behind her.
Clearly, there was only one person who could help her out of this predicament now.
"Miss Han Xue, you certainly have a lot of trouble."
A gentle voice sounded from behind, and immediately after, a hand rested on Han Xue's fragrant shoulder.
All the pressure instantly vanished into thin air, making Han Xue sigh in relief, then she gave a bitter smile,
"I didn't expect this either."
"Don't worry, with me here, you'll be fine."
Xiao Li's gentle words made her heart tremble, as if something was overflowing from deep within her, and she was very moved.
"Where did this brat come from? Do you really think you can stop the two of us?"
Seeing how young Xiao Li was, Hong Lie naturally didn't put them in his eyes.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Li finally looked up, his voice calm as he said,
"You're too noisy."
The next moment, before anyone could react.
An invisible slash cut horizontally, instantly splitting Hong Lie's body in two!
Han Xue and the others had all witnessed Xiao Li's attacks before, so they weren't very shocked now.
Instead, it was the people from the Hong Family who instantly widened their eyes.
"Th-this, how is this possible?!"
Hong Mu's pupils constricted.
The next second, his fate was the same as Hong Lie's. Before he could react, he was instantly killed by an invisible spatial slash!
Dou Huang?
In front of Xiao Li, they were merely ants to be instantly killed.
The remaining people from the Hong Family were instantly terrified and fled in a panic, soiling themselves.
They didn't even bother with the bodies of their two elders.
"Miss Han Xue, I've saved you again. You now owe me two favors, you know," Xiao Li's lips suddenly curved into a mischievous smile as he looked at the girl in front of him.
The latter's pretty face flushed, and she lowered her head slightly: "Thank you, Young Master Xiao... Once we reach Tianbei City, I will definitely repay you."
"I look forward to Miss Han Xue's gratitude."
Xiao Li teased her briefly, knowing when to stop, and returned to the carriage.
The girl inexplicably felt her heart pound and her face flush.
"Depart!"
The caravan wasn't delayed for too long and continued to advance.
Finally, after another half a day, a huge city appeared before everyone.
Tianbei City, they had arrived!
The caravan entered the city, passed through the bustling streets, and then arrived at a grand estate.
The Han Family, they had arrived!
