Chapter 1579: Chapter 1401: Stormy Night in Jianghu
She suddenly got up, grabbed the torch, and was about to ask who it was when someone called out her name in front of her, “Xia Dabao?”
Yun Xiao?
Xia Dabao thought for a moment that the mist in the forest had confused her mind. How could Yun Xiao show up just as she thought of him?
And in that moment of distraction, Yun Xiao had already appeared in front of her.
“It is really you!”
In front of the torch, a person with a bewitching appearance but an extremely cold gaze stood in front of her.
She didn’t care if it was an illusion anymore and burst into tears, “You… why did you only come now?”
She thought that after crying, Yun Xiao would mock her again, but instead, he simply said, “I’m sorry!”
Xia Dabao was stunned for a moment, then cried even harder.
But just as she relaxed for a bit, a noisy rush of footsteps came from not far away, along with someone saying, “I just saw Yun Xiao rush over there. Come on, let’s seize the chance to take him down!”
Take down?
Yun Xiao let out a cold laugh. With just these people?
However, he couldn’t laugh anymore soon after.
There was Xia Dabao here. He wasn’t afraid of facing many people alone; the worst he could face was death, but Xia Dabao couldn’t fall back into their hands again.
Despite the fact that returning would also be a certain death for her.
Yun Xiao suddenly thought of Wolf Dog Bay nearby, and without hesitation, he took Xia Dabao and rushed into it.
…
The people who followed them got to the entrance of Wolf Dog Bay but did not dare to follow any further.
Xia Dabao was protected by Yun Xiao as they rushed inward, into the pitch-black unknown.
After a long time, Yun Xiao finally stopped. He relit the torch, and Xia Dabao could see their surroundings: thickets and thorns were everywhere. Only the spot where they stood was relatively clear, just enough to fit two people.
Yun Xiao then took out a bottle of Medicine Powder, sprinkling some on himself and then on Xia Dabao.
“What is this?” asked Xia Dabao.
“It repels insects,” said Yun Xiao.
Having finished speaking, he gathered some firewood from around them and started a fire right there on the spot.
“Let’s hide here for now. This is Wolf Dog Bay, and ordinary people don’t dare to barge in,” Yun Xiao said.
“So you mean this place is very dangerous?”
“Exactly,” Yun Xiao had barely finished speaking when he suddenly split a two-tael long Poisonous Snake with his knife; it fell into two pieces right in front of Xia Dabao.
Xia Dabao jumped in fright; the dead snake seemed to still be staring at her with its eyes.
“Afraid of snakes? I thought you weren’t afraid of anything,” Yun Xiao said, pushing the two halves of the snake away before sitting down next to Xia Dabao.
Pounding her chest, Xia Dabao said, “I’m not scared of snakes; it’s just that the snake came too suddenly. How did you spot it?”
“Just be careful,” Yun Xiao replied, then took off his cape and draped it over Xia Dabao.
She had been kidnapped while she was sleeping and was wearing little; as the night grew, the place got colder.
“Why are we hiding in here… why not go back to the Chi Xia clan?” Xia Dabao asked Yun Xiao.
Yun Xiao shook his head, “The most dangerous place is the safest. If you don’t want to die so soon, just stay here and behave. I will ensure your safety.”
There were still a few days left until the great Gu was ready.
Once the great Gu was completed, it would be the end for Xia Dabao.
Wrapped in Yun Xiao’s clothes, Xia Dabao said, “I just miss Axian.”
“As long as you are alive, Axian will be fine,” Yun Xiao reassured her.
