68: Chapter 68 I'm in a hurry, all of you come at me at once

Qi Yun shifted his gaze away from the giant bear's corpse, his eyes calm and still.

He had simply cleared a road obstacle in passing and tested the power of his newly acquired "Origin Flying Dagger."

The results were very satisfying; both the sharpness and speed of the flying dagger exceeded his expectations.

As for the gratitude or any other thoughts held by the man and woman before him, he did not care.

Facing Liu Ruyan's almost clingy display of affection.

Qi Yun merely turned slightly to the side, avoiding the hand she tried to grab his arm with, his voice cold: "No need to thank me. I was just passing by."

His attitude was distant and clear.

Liu Ruyan's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and the sweet smile on her face faltered for a moment.

She had always been confident in her appearance and had often used this skin to gain benefits from men like Brother Qiang in the past.

This man before her was actually so cold to her?

But quickly, she adjusted her expression, her eyes becoming more watery and her voice more delicate: "Big Brother, you really are a good person, saving someone without asking for a reward."

Seeing Liu Ruyan being so warm to another man, Brother Qiang felt jealousy surging within him.

However, he also knew that the man before him had unfathomable strength and dared not act rashly.

He forced a smile and shifted his attention to Chen Xiaolin, who had been smiling the whole time.

"This... heroine, thank you both for your help just now. My name is Wang Qiang, and this is Liu Ruyan. May I ask how to address you, heroine?"

He tried hard to make his tone sound sincere.

Chen Xiaolin was watching Liu Ruyan's performance with great interest.

Hearing Brother Qiang speak, she turned her head, her smile unchanged, but her eyes held no warmth. She answered crisply and cleanly: "Chen Xiaolin. There's no need for repayment."

She paused, then naturally reached out to hook her arm around Qi Yun's, leaning her body against him, and said: "I am his woman. There is no need for you to know where we come from."

Once these words were spoken, the smile on Wang Qiang's face froze completely, his eyes dimmed, and he shut his mouth awkwardly.

The last shred of his fantasy was shattered.

He could only silently lower his head and follow a few steps behind the three of them without saying a word.

Hearing Chen Xiaolin's words, Liu Ruyan inwardly compared them: This girl is good-looking, has a good figure, and is full of vitality, but I am not bad either! I am better at being gentle and considerate, and better at serving a man!

She did not believe that any man could refuse a beauty who took the initiative to offer herself and was willing to play the role of a concubine!

Therefore, she took a deep breath and once again utilized her skills as a seasoned green tea bitch.

She slightly lowered her head, revealing a segment of her fair and fragile neck: "I know I cannot compare to this sister, and I dare not have any improper thoughts."

"But... but you saved my life, so this life of mine is yours." "I... I am willing to follow you, even if it's as a concubine... I am willing."

She lifted her watery eyes and glanced at Qi Yun.

"Pfft!" Following behind, Wang Qiang almost spat out a mouthful of blood when he heard this, looking at Liu Ruyan in disbelief.

He had worked like a horse and ox for this woman, yet he hadn't even touched her hand a few times. But now?

She was actually taking the initiative to propose "being a concubine" to a strange man she had just met and hadn't even spoken more than a few words to?!

Hearing this statement from Liu Ruyan, Chen Xiaolin let out a "pfft" laugh.

Her hand holding Qi Yun's arm tightened, and she looked up at him with a mischievous glint in her eyes: "Qi Bao~ Look, how infatuated this young girl is~ She's even willing to be a concubine~"

She drawled, then turned to look at Liu Ruyan with a bright smile. "Sure, I don't mind having an extra younger sister~ In the future, we can serve Qi Bao together; it might even be quite lively?"

Qi Yun: "..." He helplessly glanced at Chen Xiaolin, who feared no chaos.

This girl was clearly intentionally causing trouble, wanting to see the chaos unfold.

Hearing Chen Xiaolin's generous remark, Wang Qiang was so envious and jealous that his eyes turned red!

It was one thing for this man to be powerful, but to have a top-tier beauty like Chen Xiaolin by his side, who wasn't even jealous and was even willing to accept other women to serve him together?!

What the hell kind of god-like life is this?! Why can't he, Wang Qiang, encounter such good fortune?!

Liu Ruyan was stunned for a moment by Chen Xiaolin's "generosity," then felt wild joy in her heart! It seemed there was a chance!

She hurriedly flashed a grateful and fawning smile at Chen Xiaolin: "Sister, you are so kind! In the future, I will definitely listen to Sister's words and serve the handsome man and Sister well..."

"Shut up." Qi Yun finally spoke coldly.

He stopped walking, his gaze sweeping over Liu Ruyan like an ice blade. "I'll say it one more time," Qi Yun's voice had not a shred of warmth, "Stay away from me. Don't follow me anymore."

After speaking, he ignored the instantly pale-faced Liu Ruyan and the complex-eyed Wang Qiang, walking straight in the direction indicated by the compass in his hand.

Chen Xiaolin made a face at Liu Ruyan and hurriedly followed Qi Yun.

Liu Ruyan bit her lip, watching Qi Yun's cold and resolute back, her heart filled with unwillingness.

Wang Qiang also stood in place, his expression changing unpredictably.

Just as the two were hesitating, Qi Yun, who had only walked a few steps, stopped in front of a tree. The needle pointed straight at the trunk.

Qi Yun did not hesitate and slashed with the flying dagger in his hand! "Snap!"

Where the trunk split, a strange box embedded inside the heart of the tree was revealed.

"Found it." Qi Yun's eyes brightened slightly, and he reached out to take the box out.

"Is this today's 'Lucky'?" Chen Xiaolin curiously leaned over to look.

"It should be." Qi Yun weighed the box; it should be a good thing.

His goal achieved, Qi Yun did not delay any longer, turning around to prepare to return to the Tribe with Chen Xiaolin the way they came.

Seeing Qi Yun about to leave, Liu Ruyan panicked. She intended to make one last attempt: "Big Brother Qi Yun! Don't go! I... I have truly fallen in love with you!"

"I only ask that you let me stay by your side, and I will be content! Please, don't chase me away!"

She cried like a pear blossom in the rain, looking pitiful; if it were an ordinary man, he would have softened his heart long ago.

But there was not a ripple in Qi Yun's eyes, only impatience. "Move aside."

"No! I won't! Unless you promise to take me with you!" Liu Ruyan gave it her all, spreading her arms to block his path.

Just at this moment— "Yo, it's quite lively here, isn't it?"

A male voice, carrying a mocking and arrogant tone, came from the woods nearby. Immediately after, five figures pushed aside the bushes and walked out.

Their eyes fell immediately upon the box in Qi Yun's hand.

The scarred, burly man stared at the box with silver patterns, greed flashing in his eyes. He then looked at Qi Yun, his tone overbearing as he commanded: "Kid, that box in your hand looks pretty good."

"We are from the 09 Tribe. Leave the item, and then, get lost."

09 Tribe! Hearing this name, Wang Qiang and Liu Ruyan's bodies trembled simultaneously, expressions of terror appearing on their faces.

Who in this area didn't know the fearsome reputation of the 09 Tribe by now? Especially the team under them specifically responsible for external looting, which was famous for being cruel and overbearing!

Qi Yun looked at these five aggressive guys who had just announced their affiliation, and suddenly laughed. The smile was faint, but carried a condescending mockery.

"09 Tribe? You want it?" He repeated it, as if he had heard some funny joke. He casually tossed the box in his palm. "Come and take it yourself."

The calm tone was more insulting than any provocation.

The five 09 Tribe members froze simultaneously, unable to believe their ears. In this area, there was actually someone who dared not to take the 09 Tribe seriously? And dared to speak to them with such an attitude?

The scarred, burly man's face instantly darkened, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Just then, Wang Qiang and Liu Ruyan exchanged a glance, and without any hesitation, immediately made their choice.

Wang Qiang took a step forward, distancing himself from Qi Yun, and hurriedly clarified the relationship: "Big Brothers from the 09 Tribe! It's a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding! We don't know these two people! We don't know them at all! We just happened to run into them!"

Liu Ruyan also nodded hurriedly, chiming in: "Yes, yes, yes! We don't know them!"

Seeing that Qi Yun still maintained a calm appearance, Wang Qiang rolled his eyes, pointed at Qi Yun, and shouted: "Big Brothers! Just now... just now this kid was spouting wild words, saying... saying what is the 09 Tribe, it's just a bunch of trash that can't be brought into polite society!"

Once he said this, the expressions of the five 09 Tribe members instantly became incredibly ugly. Especially the scarred man, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and his gaze towards Qi Yun was already like looking at a dead man.

The scarred man looked at Qi Yun. "Kid, did you really say that?"

And Qi Yun laughed, looking at the people before him as if looking at trash: "Haha, 09 Tribe? Indeed a bunch of trash." "If you didn't hear clearly, I'll repeat it again: you are trash that can't be brought into polite society."

Wang Qiang was dumbfounded; could this guy be stupid? He actually admitted it. The scarred man's expression was ugly; he actually dared to mock them to their faces?!!

He turned his head to a short, stocky companion beside him and said: "This kid, I'll leave him to you to play with. Let him know the consequences of insulting the 09 Tribe."

The short, stocky man licked his lips and drew a pair of poisoned daggers from his back. "Don't worry, Captain."

He grinned sinisterly and cracked his neck. "I will take good care of him, leave a whole corpse, and use it as food for the little darling raised in the Tribe."

The other four heard this and let out cruel laughs.

Before they could finish laughing, a small hole appeared in the center of the short, stocky man's forehead, piercing right through. Then, he fell straight to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. Dead. One strike. Instant kill.

Chen Xiaolin tilted her head, looked at Qi Yun, and smiled sweetly: "Qi Bao, you stole my prey."

Qi Yun flicked his hand, his gaze calmly sweeping over the remaining four 09 Tribe members, who were deathly pale and facing a great enemy, his voice still plain: "Next." "Who else wants to come and take the box?" "Or..."

His gaze swept over the ashen-faced scarred man. "Come at me together?" "I'm in a hurry."

The scarred man panicked at this moment, immediately taking out a rocket-style object, and shouted: "One cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops come to meet!!!"
