Chapter 1557: Chapter 1379: A Stormy Night in Jianghu

Bei Shan was just hoping Hong Yan would come and try to snatch it so he could catch a whiff of her unique, delicate fragrance again. If she came for it, he would just hide.

However, during this scuffle, the two vials in Hong Yan’s hands suddenly dropped. She attempted to snatch them back, but in the moment she reached out, she abruptly withdrew her hand.

Isn’t this better? It would save her the trouble of doing anything herself.

These two vials contained Xia Dabao’s blood. If they were to fall, she could later place the blame entirely on Bei Shan.

When the vials fell, Bei Shan saw them too. He knew that this was Xia Dabao’s blood and it was no laughing matter.

As he watched the vials nearly tumble onto the grassy slope and roll down the hill, Bei Shan pounced out just in time, grabbing the two vials.

As soon as he had the vials in his grasp, he couldn’t wait to take credit for it, exclaiming to Hong Yan, "See, I’m pretty impressive, right? If it weren’t for me, you might have lost your life. How about repaying this lifesaving grace by giving yourself to me?"

Once again, Hong Yan felt like she was going to explode with anger.

Perhaps their commotion was too loud, for it disturbed Elder Yun, who stepped out and angrily demanded, "What are you two doing? And Hong Yan, did you bring the two vials of blood?"

"I’ve got them," Hong Yan snatched the vials from Bei Shan’s hands and walked toward Elder Yun.

There was no more opportunity for mischief.

Whereas Bei Shan, holding up the beads in his hand, reminded her, "Hong Yan, don’t forget our agreement under the Eucalyptus Tree!"

"..." Hong Yan wanted to strangle Bei Shan.

...

Basement.

The monster in the iron cage had been restless all night.

The Clan Chief, looking at the two vials of blood in front of him, hesitated about whether to feed the blood to the creature.

If there were any more issues, years of effort would have been in vain.

In that case, he would make sure to kill Xia Dabao and her brother.

Watching the agitated creature inside, the Clan Chief finally poured the two vials of blood into the cage, mumbling darkly, "Be patient, my precious. Let’s try one last time. If it succeeds, I promise you can have as much as you want. There are still more than ten days. You must hold on, grow well, and hurry to reach maturity because... everyone in the country of Nan Zhao will be grateful to you, and you’ll be our national hero, won’t you?"

While coaxing, the Clan Chief fed the meat to the monster.

After it ate the meat, the creature gradually calmed down, and its horns on its head regrew a few inches, back to their original length.

"Ha ha ha, it seems that yesterday’s incident was just an accident; that little girl’s blood is still useful. My treasure, you must do well. Let’s let the girl catch her breath for now. We can’t push her too hard, or she might get annoyed and deny you the sweet taste," said the Clan Chief before turning and leaving, his eyes behind the mask brimming with satisfaction.

...

Back Mountain.

Hong Yan walked alone toward the century-old Eucalyptus Tree.

She didn’t want to see Bei Shan but had to retrieve her Pearl Flower—it was the only heirloom left by her late mother, and without it, she’d have nothing to remember her by.

From a distance, she saw that there wasn’t a single person under the Eucalyptus Tree.

Had Bei Shan not arrived yet?

Or had he hidden somewhere else?

This Bei Shan, despite his modest Martial Arts skills, had pulled off plenty of sneaky tricks. Who knew what kind of new scheme he was concocting to mess with her again.
