“You’ve certainly got some nerve. Do you know what kind of place Wolf Mountain is? You actually dared to come here with just one other person?”
A hoarse voice rang out. At the mouth of the tunnel, someone emerged from behind the black leopard.
A hint of delight appeared on Leng Ye Han’s face. “How did you know I was here?”
After all, the Shadowless Heavenly Venerable had taken Crystal Grass away before. Now that he had come, he would surely be able to take it away again.
At the thought, her smile grew even wider.
“What? So happy to see me?” At last, the Shadowless Heavenly Venerable had found the person who had been missing for more than ten days. He asked irritably, “What are you doing here?”
“I want to take the Crystal Grass back.”
“Oh? What do you need it for?” The Shadowless Heavenly Venerable had already guessed, but asked anyway.
For the sake of a single stalk of Crystal Grass, this woman was willing to risk her life.
“Shentu was poisoned. I have to save him,” Leng Ye Han replied without thinking, not sensing anything amiss. “By the way, how did you know I was here?”
The Shadowless Heavenly Venerable wasn’t foolish enough to tell her how he had tracked her down. He merely glanced around. “As long as you leave the Crystal Grass alone, you’ll be fine. If you touch it, these beasts won’t lie down obediently and let you take it.”
That roar from the black leopard had already drawn the wolves from across the mountain to the only cave entrance. Even if she somehow evaded the leopard and the writhing pythons on the ground, she might not make it out of the cave in one piece.
Leng Ye Han picked up the beast-bone flute and waved it. “The Yan family’s beast-bone flute, and the Yan family’s beast-taming melody. Look, they’re already lying down obediently. I can just keep playing!”
Perhaps it was because he already knew she was a woman...
