Yan Yucheng seemed to be in a good mood and made such a joke.
However, when Hu Meir heard the word "good girlfriend", her face suddenly darkened, a strong jealous light flashed in her eyes, and she bit her silver teeth and said:
"I don't have such a best friend. She is extremely talented and has reached the tenth level of Qi Refining at the age of seventeen. She is high up, the daughter of a marquis and the little princess of Yifeng City.
She is as beautiful as a fairy. Any man who has seen her once will never forget her. I am always a supporting role beside her..."
"I see. Women's jealousy is really terrible. But it is also thanks to you that I can have such an opportunity to get close to a beauty, hahaha~"
"Yes, Young City Lord, but if this happens, my Hu family will completely offend the Marquis' Mansion."
"Don't worry, if you work for me, I will not let you be exposed and will protect your Hu family."
"Thank you, Young City Lord."
"Well, go ahead and get ready!"
Yan Yucheng waved his hand and sent Hu Meier away, then turned around and shouted towards the cave behind him:
"Commander Yan, how is the arrangement going?"
"Reporting to the young city lord, the cave has been arranged."
A figure soon walked out of the cave. It was a middle-aged man wearing a flame robe, and he was the one who secretly protected Yanyu City.
"That's good. When I'm doing something later, don't let anyone get close to this cave."
"Yes, Young City Lord."
……
……
Half an hour later, at the entrance of the valley, Su Mengyao returned here after searching in vain, feeling very depressed.
"Mengyao, come with me quickly, I found the Dingfeng Flower."
However, Hu Meir's voice soon came from the east, which startled her and she hurried over.
Under the leadership of Hu Meir, the two came to a sparsely populated area and found their target in a pit.
"This is……"
Su Mengyao looked intently into the earth pit, only to see a layer of light green miasma condensed in it that did not dissipate for a long time. There were no other living creatures in the miasma, only a delicate plant vaguely growing in the center.
The leaves of this plant are inverted lanceolate, with flowers on top. The upper part of the scape is purple-red and covered with long, spider-like white hairs, a bit like dandelions on Earth.
"This is the Wind-fixing Flower. Blow the white fluff on the top of the flower into the air and it will stop the strong wind and eliminate the tornado."
After Hu Meir explained this, Su Mengyao immediately looked delighted and wanted to jump into the pit to pick the Dingfeng Flower.
However, Hu Meir held her back again:
"Wait, Mengyao, be careful of the poisonous miasma, take the pill first."
"I almost forgot. Thank you for reminding me, Sister Mei'er." Su Mengyao did not doubt him and quickly took out the pill that Hu Mei'er had given her and swallowed it.
After watching Su Mengyao swallow the pill, Hu Meir finally smiled and quickly let go of her hand.
So Su Mengyao jumped down and fell into the pit. After standing firm, she walked towards the direction of Dingfenghua.
However, before she had taken two steps, she suddenly felt her eyelids become heavy, her head swelled slightly, and she even had a dizzy feeling.
"Mengyao, this miasma-avoiding pill cannot completely prevent the poisonous miasma. You still need to hold your breath and concentrate, otherwise the poisonous miasma will still invade your body."
Hu Meir's reminder came a little later from above.
Su Mengyao was startled, and she quickly concentrated and held her breath. After a long while, the dizziness subsided a little.
She pulled herself together and started moving again.
Not long after, she finally arrived at the Dingfeng Flower. Just as she was about to reach out to pick it, a scream suddenly came from above.
"what!!!"
"Sister Mei'er?"
Su Mengyao's pretty face changed instantly. She no longer cared about picking the fruits. She turned around, took two steps at a time, came to the edge of the pit, and jumped up.
When she fell out of the big pit, the scene she saw made Su Mengyao's pretty face sank, and her eyes spewed out flames as if they were real.
But at this moment, Hu Meir fell to the ground and seemed to have fainted. A masked man in black holding a long knife was standing beside her, ready to chop her down with the knife. It seemed that Hu Meir was about to die.
With a swish, Su Mengyao pulled out a long whip from her waist and whipped it with her hand.
With a crackling sound, the long whip was infused with spiritual energy and became as hard as fine iron. It knocked the black-clothed man's long sword away and then hit the black-clothed man's wrist directly.
The man rolled backwards and barely avoided the whip. His goal had been achieved, so he did not attack again, but stopped at a distance.
"Who are you? Why did you attack my friend?" Su Mengyao raised her eyebrows and shouted.
"A sneak attack? Hehe, it was obviously you who stole my magic herb first, why are you the one who's to blame?" The man's voice was hoarse and low, and it seemed that he had deliberately changed the tone, making it difficult to distinguish.
"Magic grass? Are you talking about the Wind-Fixing Flower?" Su Mengyao frowned and thought for a moment, then raised her hand and pointed to the pit below.
"That's right. I was the first to discover this magical herb. Before, this area was full of poisonous miasma. I spent a lot of effort and several days to eliminate most of the poisonous miasma around it. Only a little bit is left in the earth pit.
You could have taken it after tonight, but you stole my magic herb."
"..."
Su Mengyao was silent for a while. If the other party really came first and took the trouble to eliminate the poisonous miasma, then they were really getting a good deal.
However, Dingfenghua is very important to her and she absolutely cannot give it to others.
"Even so, it is true that you attacked my friend, so we are even now.
I really need this Dingfeng Flower. Can you bear the pain and part with it? I will compensate you with double the amount of spirit stones."
The man snorted coldly upon hearing this: "Humph, I've spent so much energy and time, how can I give in just like that?"
Su Mengyao had no choice but to fight. Fortunately, through the fight just now, she sensed that this person was not very strong and was also at the Qi Refining level, which made her feel a little relieved.
She was about to speak when the man added another sentence.
"But if you really want to, it's not impossible..."
"What do you mean?" Su Mengyao looked puzzled.
The man in black smiled deeply, his eyes showing no sign of concealing his aggression. He looked Su Mengyao up and down, a lustful light slowly blooming in his eyes.
"Hehe... I haven't touched a woman for more than half a year. If one of you two can spend a night with me, I will give you this Dingfeng Grass. How about that?"
"You... pervert, watch out for the whip!" Su Mengyao's breath suddenly became choked, and a hint of anger appeared on her face.
She stopped talking nonsense and swung the whip towards the black-clothed man's head.
The man in black chuckled and was not surprised. It seemed that he knew Su Mengyao's temper very well and was prepared.
He lowered his head to dodge the whip, and instead of retreating, he advanced to the side of Su Mengyao, raised his hand and suddenly threw out a magic cloth bag.
Wow——!
The cloth bag opened its mouth and flew towards Su Mengyao, and a puff of green smoke quickly sprayed out from it.
Because it happened so suddenly, Su Mengyao had no time to react and was instantly enveloped by the smoke.
Su Mengyao was startled and immediately held her breath and retracted the whip.
However, a feeling of dizziness slowly came over her, causing her eyelids to tremble, her head to feel dizzy, her body to become unstable, and she almost fell.
This feeling is somewhat similar to the feeling of entering the earth pit just now and accidentally inhaling poisonous miasma, and these green smoke are also like the green miasma in the earth pit.
"Hey, this poisonous miasma smells good, it took me several days to collect it, it's a bargain for you."
The man in black chuckled but secretly thought that the poison gas was just a trigger to cover up the effect of the pill. Now judging by the time, the effect of the pill should be taking effect.
"You... are despicable!"
Su Mengyao said angrily that this person's cultivation was not high and he should not be her opponent in a normal fight, but she didn't expect that his methods were so despicable.
At this moment, her body was slightly hot and she felt weak all over. She was even unsteady on her feet. After taking a breath for a while, she fell to the ground.
Su Mengyao was a little confused. She reacted quickly and held her breath in time when the smoke hit her. Why did she still get hit?
But she didn't have time to think about it. While she was feeling weak all over, the man in black strode forward with a silver smile.
"You...what are you going to do?"
"Hey, what are you doing? You want the magic grass? Just spend a night with me and I'll give it to you. It's a good deal, isn't it?"
The man in black paused, looked up at Su Mengyao and said jokingly.
"Don't come over here! I don't want this Dingfeng Flower anymore."
Su Mengyao was obviously panicked. She had grown up under the care of the Han family, like a flower in a greenhouse. How could she have encountered such a thing?
She gritted her teeth and made a secret decision that even if she had to give up Dingfenghua and join the same sect with that nasty Han Mo, she would never let this rapist succeed.
"That won't do. I've put so much effort into it, and now you just say you don't want it. How can I save my face?
I don't need Ding Feng Hua, but I will take your man."
After saying that, the man in black took two steps forward and tried to hug Su Mengyao.
"Don't touch me!"
Su Mengyao wanted to get up and escape, but she was too weak to do so. After finally standing up and taking two steps, she fell to the ground again.
Her voice became weak, her body became hotter and hotter, and her face turned red.
Seeing this scene, the man in black thought that the effect of the drug should have taken effect. In this case, he didn't have to worry too much. He just had to drag Su Mengyao into the cave, and she would be at his mercy from then on.
"My little beauty, don't resist. Just obey me!"
Su Mengyao's face became redder and redder, her breathing became heavier, but her heart was in unprecedented despair.
Is my innocence going to be ruined here today?
In this case, I might as well give it to Han Mo. At least that stinky cousin is much more pleasing to the eye than this silver thief in front of me.
It’s also my fault that I suggested looking for Dingfenghua here today, which harmed Sister Mei’er!
Seeing the pair of obscene hands getting closer and closer to her slender waist, she gritted her teeth, and a hint of unwillingness and desolation flashed across her beautiful eyes.
No, even if I die, I can't let this silver thief get away with it.
Su Mengyao was a strong-willed person after all, and she was so desperate that she had already decided to die.
