446: Bai Jun (the bandit's wife version)

"Where's my stuff?"

Bai Jun was startled, realizing that several dragon skin pouches on him had disappeared.

The woman beside him, seeing Bai Jun searching for something, took out the dragon skin pouches from behind her.

"Yes, yes, that's it."

Bai Jun reached out and took the dragon skin pouches, pulling out several spices from them.

As the flames roasted the meat, the fat slowly seeped into the spices, and the aroma of the spices was fully activated.

The woman, who lived in an almost primitive tribal era, had never smelled such a scent and was instantly drawn to the roasted meat.

"Don't rush, it's not fully cooked yet."

Bai Jun gestured twice, and only then did the woman obediently sit back down.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Bai Jun took the perfectly roasted meat, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, off the bonfire.

After tearing off a small piece and putting it in his mouth, Bai Jun nodded in satisfaction.

"Try it, it's much better than before."

Although spices were used, the meat, which had not been bled or castrated, was still quite gamey and dry.

However, with the spices and Bai Jun's roasting technique, it was barely palatable.

The woman took the roasted meat Bai Jun handed her, sniffed it, and then tore off a large piece to put in her mouth.

The aroma and wonderful taste were something she had never experienced, and the woman's gaze towards Bai Jun was filled with possessiveness.

"You saved my life, and I don't wish to harm you."

Bai Jun saw that the woman still had improper thoughts about him, so he sighed and tried to persuade her.

"If I wanted to, killing you here would be no difficult task."

"Also, I came here with a mission and don't have much time to get entangled with you."

"You should eat the meat; once you're done, I need to go find my companions."

After speaking, Bai Jun picked up the heart-questioning sword by his side and intended to leave.

As soon as Bai Jun took a step, he felt a tearing sound of air behind him.

The woman threw down the roasted meat in her hand and pounced on Bai Jun like a hungry dog.

Bai Jun frowned. Could this woman not understand his meaning?

He really didn't want to fight.

Of course, while he didn't want to, Bai Jun wasn't the kind of indecisive person; he drew his heart-questioning sword, intending to subdue the woman.

Just then, a loud bang came from outside the grass hut, accompanied by shaking ground and intense firelight.

The woman froze at the sight. She no longer cared about Bai Jun, pulled out the bone flute from her waist, and ran outside.

Although she liked Bai Jun, she could still distinguish between the importance of her tribal people and a pretty boy.

"This Evil Qi..."

Bai Jun sensed the direction from which the commotion came. Only one person could possess such Evil Qi.

That was Chen Heng.

"Big Brother Chen is here?"

Bai Jun happily walked outside.

In the firelight, a figure completely red emerged from the flames.

"I'm really fed up; this lousy clothing actually spontaneously combusted after accelerating to a certain extent."

Chen Heng tore off the burning clothes on him. What a shame for this new set of clothes he'd only worn for a few days.

"Almost there, it should be somewhere nearby."

Chen Heng sniffed the surrounding air and quickly pinpointed Bai Jun's location.

He had actually already gone to the Forest of Death because number eight's coordinates were there.

But after going there, besides a bunch of biting trees and rocks, Chen Heng didn't see any trace of Bai Jun.

Fortunately, the woman's tribe was within ten kilometers of the Forest of Death, otherwise Chen Heng really wouldn't have found Bai Jun for a while.

"Jili guala!"

The woman's hair stood on end the moment she saw Chen Heng, and her pupils contracted to the size of pinpricks.

The man in front of her... gave her such a terrifying feeling that just looking at him seemed enough to kill her.

"Another savage?"

Chen Heng tidied his slightly messy hair, ignored the woman, and walked in Bai Jun's direction.

"Jili guala!"

The woman shouted at the surrounding savages again, and they aimed their spears at Chen Heng.

Chen Heng didn't pay them any mind; those broken spears couldn't hurt him anyway.

The important thing was to find that kid Bai Jun first.

"This kid is quite something, huh? He managed to blend into the local natives' tribe so quickly?"

Chen Heng rather admired Bai Jun, not expecting his social skills to be so strong.

He could blend in even with a language barrier.

"Big Brother Chen!" Bai Jun walked out of the grass hut and greeted Chen Heng.

"You kid are quite something, blending in with the locals so quickly?"

Chen Heng pulled out a new set of clothes from his dragon skin pouch, put them on, and scrutinized Bai Jun.

"Uh..." Hearing this, Bai Jun scratched his head awkwardly.

He couldn't possibly agree with Chen Heng's words; he couldn't say he was captured to be a bandit chief's wife, could he?

That would be too embarrassing.

"Alright, let's go. I'll take you to find Luo Shuo and the others."

Chen Heng put his arm around Bai Jun's shoulder and walked outside as if no one else was around.

"Let me tell you, that Yin-Side Passage is said to be dilapidated from disuse, so our landing points were different."

"The first one I found was that girl Snake Green, and she's currently Cultivating with the Dragon Clan in the Dragon Tomb."

"Oh, and the Dragon Tomb is where the Dragon Clan resides. There are only sixteen Dragons left now, seventeen including Snake Green..."

"Jili guala!!"

Chen Heng was still telling Bai Jun what happened in the Dragon Tomb when the woman ran over and blocked Chen Heng.

"What does this mean?"

Chen Heng immediately realized something was wrong. This wild woman's target seemed to be Bai Jun?

And that look, almost dripping with desire... "What's your relationship?" Chen Heng turned to look at the embarrassed Bai Jun.

Ever since this kid lost his chastity mark, he's been like a pervert possessed. Could it be that he... "You're... pretty amazing." Chen Heng didn't know what to say, so he could only praise Bai Jun.

"No, it's not! Big Brother Chen, please don't misunderstand!"

Bai Jun knew that if he didn't explain himself, his lifelong reputation would be ruined here.

"I didn't come willingly. At that time, I was being chased by big trees, rocks, and the land, and she saved me."

"Then she had improper thoughts about me, and I resisted desperately but fell under her sound technique."

"The sound technique she used was completely different from what I'd encountered; the Pure Heart Chant was useless."

"Then I was brought here. I just made her a meal of roasted meat; we didn't do anything!"

As Bai Jun explained in a rapid-fire manner, Chen Heng became even more convinced that the kid had done something.

Otherwise, who would explain so excitedly?

"Alright, I understand." Chen Heng patted Bai Jun's shoulder, looking at him very seriously.

"If you truly like her, Big Brother Chen can help you snatch this wild woman away directly."

"Then I'll bring her back for you to be your..."

"No, thank you!" Bai Jun decisively refused; he had no interest in this wild woman whatsoever.

Just as Chen Heng was teasing Bai Jun, the wild woman roared, and the totem on her back instantly lit up.

A massive phantom of a bone flute appeared behind her, and the bone flute in her hand also lit up.

"Jili guala!"

After the woman said something, she put the bone flute to her lips.

Instantly, music filled with a sense of killing intent resounded in everyone's ears!
