"Can you two quit ogling him like lovesick puppies? It’s just a few kills. Does it warrant such adoration?" Yang Ruxin couldn’t stand it anymore, "If you keep staring like that, I’ll start thinking you both want to marry Ayao..."
The three men were momentarily stunned, then all wore constipated expressions.
"Xinxin, you..." Little Liuzi was so embarrassed his face turned beet red, "We are men... How could we possibly... Besides, I have Xiaoyu..."
"Haha..." Yang Ruxin couldn’t help but laugh, "Men can love men too, love doesn’t discriminate against gender or race..."
"You... Now you’re getting more outrageous..." Tie Dan was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Ayao glanced at Yang Ruxin, his eyes flickering with a complex light, but it quickly turned crafty, "If Big Brother also loved men..."
"Gu Yao, you win!" Yang Ruxin hastily stamped her foot and pointed at Gu Yao, "Forget what I just said..." She would go crazy if Gu Qingheng liked men.
Gu Yao shrugged triumphantly, then continued walking forward.
Dao Xuzi had laughed heartily a moment ago, but his expression turned gloomy soon after, he even let out a small sigh before turning to leave.
Yang Ruxin furrowed her brows, sensing that the old man had something on his mind, but it didn’t seem appropriate to ask.
Little Liuzi and Tie Dan, however, exchanged looks, both seeing incredulity in the other’s eyes. The conversation they’d just had revealed something shocking—Xinxin and the Gu Family’s eldest, that beautiful disabled man, were an item!
For a moment, neither of them knew quite what to think, both feeling conflicted.
"Stop overthinking, Xinxin is opinionated, and the person she fancies definitely has something special about him." Eventually, it was Tie Dan who came to his senses first, clapping Little Liuzi on the shoulder, "Although Boss Gu is... he’s indeed a good man..."
Little Liuzi quickly figured it out as well, nodded, and hurriedly followed the others.
After they turned a corner around a large boulder, Gu Yao suddenly stopped, "We’ve reached Dragon Eye Peak, we can’t go any further."
Yet just then, Xiaobai became visibly agitated, frolicking at Yang Ruxin’s feet, even biting her pant leg, while Xiaolun also started to fidget.
"What’s wrong?" Yang Ruxin crouched down to pat Xiaobai’s head.
Right at that moment, the roar of a tiger echoed from afar, followed by another. The two roars were clearly not made by the same tiger.
After a whimper, Xiaobai dashed off into the depths.
"Wait here for me, I’ll go take a look." Yang Ruxin frowned and chased after the creature immediately; one of those roars was from Dabai, and the other must be the intruder. Clearly, she had arrived at a critical moment—Dabai was in a fight again.
Everyone was stunned.
"Come back!" Gu Yao was the first to snap out of it, calling out urgently, but Yang Ruxin had already run off into the distance. He glanced at Dao Xuzi, "Elder, please take them down. I’ll go check..." The Boss had instructed him a thousand times to ensure that nothing happened to Ruxin, and he was prepared to protect her at all costs.
"Since we’re here, let’s go together." Dao Xuzi appeared quite excited, to be honest, Xiaocang Mountain was a piece of cake for him; compared to his Yunmen Mountain, it was a walk in the park. It was only because there were fewer herb gatherers here that he hadn’t bothered to venture deeper. Now that something seemed to be up with the girl, he couldn’t just leave her behind.
