Chapter 1596: Chapter 1418: Stormy Night in Jianghu
Hong Yan was about to say they should not go to Bei Shan, but the Witch King had already spoken, “Alright, let’s go together then, remember to go early and come back early.”
After the three of them left, the Witch King spoke to Xia Dabao again, “With the Holy Fruit, you won’t have to worry about your body anymore. I have said, if you achieve something for our Southern Shine Country, I will definitely not treat you poorly. I will declare you a hero of our Southern Shine Country, and protect you for your entire life.”
“…”
Moon Heart Tribe.
Because Chi Yu was present, neither the Clan Chief nor the Goddess dared to neglect their duties.
The Holy Fruit of the Moon Heart Tribe only bore five fruits per year, and usually only the Clan Chief and the Witch King among other royal descendants could enjoy them, but Xia Dabao had been so essential to their Southern Shine Country that they had no choice but to offer up the Holy Fruit.
Even though it was still two months until the Holy Fruit was ripe.
When Bei Shan and Hong Yan went to pick the fruit under the Holy Tree of the Moon Heart Tribe, Xuan Nu and the little Goddess also came.
The two women gathered around Bei Shan, indirectly asking about Yun Xiao’s situation:
“How is Yun Xiao now? Is he doing alright in the Palace? Is he just there to protect Xia Dabao?” Xuan Nu, who was not good at withholding questions, asked first.
Bei Shan, who was always known as a friend to women, could easily guess what Xuan Nu was implying. He thought for a moment and then said, “Yes, of course he’s there to protect Xia Dabao.”
“But with so many experts in the Palace, why did they have to send Yun Xiao?” the little Goddess asked.
“Because Yun Xiao is handsome and skilled in Martial Arts. However, Yun Xiao told me the other day that you two saved him at Wolf Dog Bay. He said he would definitely find time to thank you both properly.”
After finishing, Bei Shan clicked his tongue twice.
It really is a lifetime mistake to meet Yun Xiao.
Hearing Bei Shan say this, the two women immediately turned their tears into laughter, not caring about anything else and quietly walked away feeling pleased.
When the Goddess brought Bei Shan and Hong Yan to the Holy Tree, she pointed at the ripest Holy Fruit at the top, “That one is more ripe, go up and pick that one.”
Hearing this, Bei Shan was about to go, but Hong Yan stopped him, “Let me do it, my lightness skill is better.”
“No way, what use is having good lightness skill for picking fruit? It’s best to know how to climb trees, I’ll go.”
Hong Yan didn’t bother arguing with Bei Shan anymore; she just used her lightness skill and flew up to the tree trunk.
The tree was not only tall, but it also had many branches; lightness skill could only reach the branch closest to the ground, to pick the Holy Fruit, one still needed to climb.
Bei Shan followed up.
“What are you doing up here?” Hong Yan coldly said.
“If you fall, I can save you,” Bei Shan replied.
“Pfft, I don’t need your saving!”
As Hong Yan spoke, she was about to climb down.
However, perhaps because it had rained here the day before, she slipped a bit after climbing for a while.
Hong Yan lost her balance and suddenly began falling from above.
But her lightness skill was good, and she knew she would be fine; she knew there was a branch below she could catch onto.
However, she underestimated her own chest, not even reaching the lower branch, as her body got stuck on the previous branch.
No, to be precise, her chest got stuck.
She waved her arms and legs, unable to reach anywhere and unable to exert any force. Seeing this, Bei Shan was just about to go save her.
But when he saw that it was her chest that was stuck, he suddenly burst out laughing.
He had seen many ways to get stuck: some got their heads stuck, others their feet, but he had never seen a chest get stuck.
“What are you laughing at? Hurry up and pull me up,” Hong Yan said, both embarrassed and annoyed.
