Chapter 541: Chapter 146 Digging Pits All the Way [Two in One]_4 Chapter 541: Chapter 146 Digging Pits All the Way [Two in One]_4 Miss Dong drooped her head, listlessly saying, “I had really simple thoughts: just wanting to use this batch of goods to clean up this road once. At least for a few years… ordinary civilians could walk here without worrying about anything…”

“But why are there so many bandits?”

Dong Xiaoyan looked ahead, where yet another wave of grim-faced, excited brutes was charging. She felt a wave of listlessness.

“Not killing them somehow feels unfair regarding their ill deeds…sigh, killing over and over again, yet it’s so vexing.”

Dong Xiaoyan sighed deeply.

Feng Yin was dumbfounded.

So, I still don’t understand what you actually want to do, is that it?

You want to get moving quickly, but you also want to kill all the villains; so we can’t walk too quickly.

But you resent the number of villains, feeling slightly impatient with the killing.

So, you’re in a bad mood, is that it?

“Women, they’re difficult to please!”

Feng Yin sighed deeply.

This won’t work, that won’t work… what should I do?

Should I dig ditches all the way to the Great Qin?

If so, I’m truly immeasurable in my virtuous deeds.

But seeing another group of bandits approaching, Feng Yin began to dig pits in advance…

“This mountain…”

The wave of bandits only got two words out before Dong Xiaoyan dispatched them all decisively.

Over there, Feng Yin had already dug enough pits for the five men, and after Dong Xiaoyan killed them with her Sword Qi, she sent their bodies directly into the pits.

While they floated in midair, items of value like rings and satchels were already separated and selected. By the time the bodies entered the pits, the selection process was complete.

The worthless were buried with the dead, the previous climbed onto the carriage.

Thus, by the time Dong Xiaoyan had finished killing, Feng Yin had already covered the pits.

The entire process was smooth and seamless, their coordination impeccable.

Absolutely a perfect pair.

The carriage rolled onwards.

A small mound of earth at the roadside was only slightly raised.

After a rain, it would probably flatten out.

But over the next several decades, the trees in this area would likely grow especially lush.

…

The sun slowly passed noon, continuing westward, resolutely setting in the west.

By the time Feng Yin and Dong Xiaoyan arrived in a rather treacherous forest, the sky and earth were completely dark.

This stretch of mountains and rivers was even more eerie and terrifying than the road they’d walked, with tall mountains and dense forests, an ominous black aura pervading the area. Had a certain powerful being gazed upon it, they would have surely exclaimed, “With such tall mountains and thick forests, there must be monsters here!”

They found a spot, cleared it up, and then prepared to rest.

Feng Ying jumped out of the bag, shook herself, and did a lively circuit of the area.

The Ghostly Soul Snake slithered around the perimeter, as if drawing a large circle.

Thus, within a radius of ten feet, not even an earthworm remained.

Ants, spiders, insects etcetera, had all instantly moved elsewhere.

Two great figures had arrived, best not to provoke them.

Dong Xiaoyan, by the campfire, seemed distracted. She wanted to say something but was too embarrassed to bring it up.

She rubbed her tummy.

Swallowed some saliva.

A determined look appeared on her pretty face.

She couldn’t eat as much tonight.

Should she eat some Spiritual Fruits tonight and meditate to cultivate… maybe?

Dong Xiaoyan was fiercely struggling internally.

Her face revealed changing emotions in accordance with her state of mind.

But when Feng Yin came over after cleaning up and said, “Where is that small table? And the dinnerware? Prepare them quickly, I’m going to start barbecuing,”

Dong Xiaoyan was angry inside: I’m definitely not eating, don’t tempt me!

But her mouth, as if not under the control of her mind, promptly responded: “Alright, coming right up.”

She surprised herself, why were her thoughts and words not the same?

But her hands were already automatically laying out all the things, and even spread a tablecloth.

After everything was set up, Dong Xiaoyan was stupefied: Damn it! Are… are my hands not obeying me now either?

So, Feng Yin started showcasing his barbecue skills.

The Ghostly Soul Snake coiled to the side, its small eyes fixated hungrily.

Feng Ying sat on the ground, body erect, eyes blazing with anticipation.

Dong Xiaoyan and the two small creatures sat side by side, their eyes glued to the barbecue, gleaming.

The aroma began to permeate the air.

“Hiss hiss hiss…” The Ghostly Soul Snake’s mouth corners leaked drool.

“Hiccup…” Feng Ying’s stomach made happy noises.

“Gulp.” Dong Xiaoyan swallowed some saliva.

She tried to force herself to look away, but her neck wasn’t obedient and she stubbornly, embarrassingly, kept staring at the barbecue.

She couldn’t help but touch her tummy.

The sound of rustling came from afar.

Feng Yin focused on barbecuing.

Dong Xiaoyan’s eyes were locked on the meat as she called out, “Who’s there?”

A group of men dressed in black quietly appeared.

One swallowed his saliva and smiled, “So it’s Miss Dong, we came following the smell, what a surprise to meet an old acquaintance.”

This man’s eyes fleetingly glanced at Feng Ying, who was quietly crouched on the ground.
