The Ghostly Crying Forest was shrouded in fog, and ordinary people who entered would lose their way, unable to find the exit. They could only wander aimlessly inside. Beyond the Ghostly Crying Forest lay the Ghostly Crying Plains.
It was said that many years ago, an army of several hundred thousand men was stationed here. They came under the orders of the Heavenly Emperor to search for the elixir of immortality, but for some unknown reason, they all died here overnight.
Only a very small number of people escaped back then. According to their descriptions, everyone fell into a frenzy at the time and began attacking each other. The entire camp turned into a sea of blood and hell, with people slaughtering one another for days and nights. Corpses piled up, resentment festered, causing the surrounding area to become barren.
On the other side of the Ghostly Crying Plains was a long mountain range like a chasm, almost cutting off the exit from the Ghostly Crying Plains to other places. The mountains were towering into the clouds, desolate and steep. Long ago, this mountain was called the Sacred Mountain, and the legendary elixir of immortality was inside.
But after hundreds of thousands of people died here, the Sacred Mountain turned into the Demon Mountain. Everyone believed that the Sacred Mountain had taken the lives of so many people.
Because of these three connected deadly places, ordinary people who entered would only meet a dead end. So anyone who wanted to kill and destroy evidence, torture enemies, or dump corpses liked to come here.
Tang Li didn't understand how terrifying the place she was in. Although she was initially afraid of corpses, no matter how scary things were, she got used to them after seeing them often. Moreover, she had to take good care of a sick man and simply had no time to be afraid.
So the reason she wanted to leave here was not because of fear, but for two very practical reasons. One was that there was no water source here, and the other was that there was little food. Without a water source, daily life and washing were very inconvenient, relying only on rainwater was really difficult. The only edible food was those ground pigs, and the sick man Xun Nu had to reluctantly get up to catch them. The conditions were too harsh.
"Xun Nu, how can we leave here?" Tang Li looked at her dull gray sleeves and discussed leaving with Xun Nu.
Xun Nu was worthy of being an assassin with an abnormal physique. In just a few days, he was already able to move around, although he still couldn't walk too fast.
Hearing Tang Li's question, he pondered for a moment and said steadily, "We can only go through the Ghostly Crying Forest in the north, but there is a maze inside, and it's very difficult to get out. I can only take you out after my injuries have healed. If we enter the depths of the Ghostly Crying Forest now, I'm afraid the odds are against us."
He was forced into the Ghostly Crying Forest when he was seriously injured. Even the dozen or so experts chasing him only dared to give up the pursuit after he entered deep into the Ghostly Crying Forest. As for Tang Li, she was simply thrown to the periphery and led in by a fox.
"I originally followed a red fox in. If we could find that red fox again, do you think it could lead us out?" Tang Li asked.
"I have never heard of any red foxes in the Ghostly Crying Forest. There should be no living creatures able to survive inside," Xun Nu said cautiously.
Tang Li suggested, "Why don't I go look and see if I can find that fox?"
Xun Nu disagreed and looked at her seriously, "The Ghostly Crying Forest is too dangerous. Don't act on your own. Wait for me for two more days. As soon as my injuries improve a little, I will immediately take you away from here."
The more he said this, the more Tang Li wanted to give it a try. She took his hand and said, "I can't let you suffer with me like this. I want to give you a better life as soon as possible."
Xun Nu felt that something sounded a bit off as he listened.
The girl in front of him was a weak woman who didn't know martial arts. But when he turned his head and looked at the makeshift shed and the daily necessities that were gradually being made, he felt that what Tang Li said seemed to make sense.
Tang Li's ability to take action was astonishing. That afternoon, she used a piece of candy to lure out a red fox from the bushes near the Ghostly Crying Forest. She felt it should be the one that brought her in.
The little fox seemed to like her very much. It took the candy from her hand and even rubbed against her palm. Tang Li patted the fox's head and negotiated with it to see if it could help lead the way out. The little fox blinked its eyes very cleverly and turned in a circle.
Tang Li ran back and discussed this matter with Xun Nu again. Xun Nu still said to wait two more days. He was worried that if something unexpected happened and his injuries were severe, he wouldn't be able to protect her well.
Tang Li thought about it and agreed. She reached over, took his hand, and placed a piece of candy in his palm.
When helping out in the kitchen, Auntie Sun gave her several pieces of candy, which she had been keeping wrapped in her sleeve pocket. Today, she took one out and gave it to the little fox, and it reminded her of Xun Nu.
"Do you like sweet things?" Tang Li smiled warmly, her smile filled with honey.
Xun Nu had no obsessions with many things and no preferences for food. But at this moment, seeing Tang Li's smile, he involuntarily nodded and even ate the candy under Tang Li's expectant gaze.
"Do you like it? I have more here."
Xun Nu reached out to stop her and said, "I'm older than you." Why treat him like a child and coax him?
Tang Li pursed her lips and smiled, a little embarrassed. "Because I like you very much, so I want to treat you a little better."
Xun Nu looked at her expressionlessly. For a long time, he couldn't come back to his senses. Hearing such a direct expression of affection, his entire being couldn't react.
In fact, he had encountered several instances of people offering to share his bed. He was young but highly skilled in martial arts, had the reputation of being the top assassin, and with his sword-like eyebrows, starry eyes, tall stature, and a cold indifferent appearance that kept people thousands of miles away, he easily gained the favor of women.
There were female assassins in the organization who fancied his looks or abilities and always wanted to get close to him. There were also women who had pestered him, but he never cared. Anyway, apart from when he was on a mission, most of the time he would hide away and no one could find him.
In the past, no matter how others confessed their feelings, he felt no ripples in his heart. But hearing Tang Li say this, Xun Nu suddenly fell into a state of confusion and nervousness, not knowing what to say. Even though there were surging waves in his heart, his exterior remained calm.
After a good while, he said, "I will definitely protect you well."
Tang Li was even more solemn than him. "I will also do my best to take good care of you and not let you suffer anymore."
The older sister's aura overwhelmed the young male god. Two days later, the two were ready to leave. To Xun Nu's surprise, the red fox actually appeared and led them out of the Ghostly Crying Forest. The forest that was said to trap people to their deaths, they simply walked out of it just like that.
Watching Tang Li feed the last piece of candy on her to the red fox and wave goodbye to it, Xun Nu felt a faint sense of confusion in his heart for some reason. In his assassin career, there seemed to be particularly many moments of confusion these past few days.
"Alright, we're finally out. Now let's find a place to freshen up and have a good meal." Tang Li took out a purse from her sleeve and counted the silver pieces inside. "This is what I carried with me before. It's not much, but I think it should be enough for an inn stay."
As an assassin, Xun Nu actually also carried silver on him, just not much. Later, he lost it during the fighting, so now he was penniless and very poor.
"There seems to be cooking smoke over there. Let's go check it out!" Tang Li's steps were light. Thinking that she could soon take a bath and have a good meal, she felt energized.
Xun Nu looked in the direction she pointed, wanting to say something but stopping. However, seeing how happy she looked, he closed his mouth and silently gripped his long saber, following her in that direction.
As they walked, Tang Li didn't forget to take care of him, asking every so often if he was tired and needed a rest, even trying to support him as they walked. This was the first time in Xun Nu's life being cared for so meticulously. It made his whole body uncomfortable, as if someone had kneaded him from head to toe countless times.
Xun Nu: "I..." He wanted to say there was no need, but when he met Tang Li's gentle eyes, he became mute.
The young lady had a smile on her face, inwardly sighing that the little male god was so well-behaved and considerate as she held his hand and walked forward.
Before long, the two saw an inn by the road. It was a two-story building with a stable in the back. The first floor had a tea shed for travelers to rest. In such a remote place with only this one inn, there were quite a few people inside.
As soon as Tang Li entered, she noticed everyone looking over. She didn't mind and walked to the counter to ask the innkeeper if there were rooms available. Xun Nu followed right behind her. He naturally sensed the surrounding gazes. With an expressionless face, he silently moved his thumb, unsheathing his saber by two inches.
A moment later, all the guests in the inn retracted their gazes and stopped looking at them. Those drinking tea or alcohol all lowered their heads and continued drinking. The innkeeper was about to say there were no rooms available, but Xun Nu coldly glanced at him.
The innkeeper's body stiffened and he said to Tang Li with a forced smile: "...Of course there are rooms."
Tang Li didn't notice anything amiss and further inquired if the inn could sell them two sets of clothes to change into. Xun Nu continued staring at the innkeeper, who could only respond with the same smile, "Hahaha, of course."
This was a shady inn. Anyone with some jianghu experience could tell. After all, an inn so close to the Ghostly Crying Forest couldn't possibly be run by good people.
The innkeeper, including these "guests", were all in cahoots. If they encountered suitable prey, both their lives and money would be left here. But Xun Nu - as soon as the innkeeper saw his walking posture and demeanor, he knew this wasn't "business" they could handle.
Although he was obviously injured, even so, the innkeeper still didn't dare to act rashly. He only hoped these two would quickly rest and leave, and not interfere with their "business".
Xun Nu also had no intention of causing trouble. He watched as the innkeeper found two sets of clothes and sent hot water into the room. "Dear guests, please make yourselves at home."
Tang Li felt the innkeeper and servers had pretty good attitudes. She took a set of half-worn blue dress and walked into the room, seeing Xun Nu follow her in.
Tang Li: "Xun Nu?"
Xun Nu sat to one side with his back to her, eyes closed, hugging his saber. "I won't look. I'll keep watch over you."
Tang Li wasn't worried about him looking. There was a curtain between them, what could he see?
She always loved cleanliness. This time, after crawling around in piles of bones for several days with only simple wipes of her face and hands, she could finally wash up properly. She felt refreshed all over after bathing and changing into clean clothes.
Wrapping her hair simply with a towel, she walked over to Xun Nu's side. "It's inconvenient with your injuries. Let me help wipe you down?"
Xun Nu glanced at her, feeling she was too trusting of him. She was like this when he was heavily injured and couldn't move, and she was still like this now. Was she this unguarded with everyone?
Xun Nu felt he should remind her, so he said: "I am a man."
Who knew that upon hearing this, for some reason Tang Li's face suddenly reddened, getting redder and redder, even her ears turned red. Xun Nu originally had little expression on his face, but seeing her like this, he inexplicably also felt restless, sweating on his back, his eyes also couldn't help but look away.
He actually didn't mean anything else, but Tang Li's reaction made him feel like he had done something not so good.
"...I didn't mean it that way." Xun Nu also didn't know what he was explaining.
Tang Li coughed and, still red-faced, lowered her eyes and smiled. "It's nothing... Do you want my help?"
After a moment of silence, Xun Nu said: "Alright."
Tang Li only helped wipe the hard to reach wounds on his back and washed his hair, then waited outside. Xun Nu wasn't at ease with her waiting alone outside, so he quickly came out, his hair still dripping water.
"Let me dry your hair." Tang Li walked behind Xun Nu to wipe his hair. His hair wasn't long, only reaching his shoulder blades. Tang Li dried his hair and casually took out a comb to brush it a few times. Finally, she took out a white hair tie and tied his hair up.
"Done."
Xun Nu silently stood up holding his saber. He had broad shoulders and long legs, an especially youthful-looking face, and a great physique. It was the kind of sexiness of a grown man. When he didn't speak, he was very quiet, but even just standing there silently, he had a sharp and dangerous aura that could shock others.
Tang Li felt a shyness like facing her first love. Not daring to look too much, she hurriedly turned to the mirror to comb her hair, tying it in a braid. After tying it, she realized she had tied her hair tie onto Xun Nu's head. She froze there for a moment, pinching the end of her hair.
Xun Nu had been paying attention to her the whole time. Seeing this scene, he probably also understood. Without a word, he reached behind his head and pulled, removing the hair tie, and handed it to Tang Li. Then he tore a small strip of black cloth and casually tied up his loose hair. It wasn't as neat as when Tang Li tied it, but this casualness made him look even sexier.
The pretty girl was knocked out by the young male god's boyfriend aura, her face flushed and heart pounding.
The author has something to say:
... Why do I want the two of them to get it on right now? (No, I must restrain myself)
