Chapter 1581: Chapter 1403: Stormy Night in Jianghu

She always believed that Yun Xiao was not an utterly unforgivable person.

Yun Xiao, however, said indifferently, "Don’t think too highly of me."

It wasn’t just that she would die, but that she would die a very gruesome and painful death.

He would rather have her die here from a snake bite than die in such a manner.

Xia Dabao slowly approached Yun Xiao and then flashed him a smile, "You, you always say one thing but mean another."

She wanted to tease him a bit more, but at that moment, Yun Xiao suddenly pushed her behind him.

The forest had always been calm until suddenly, more than a dozen wolves appeared out of nowhere.

Xia Dabao was also startled.

Though she often hunted in Peach Blossom Village, the sudden appearance of so many wolves, coupled with her current physical condition, meant she couldn’t handle them.

She steadied her breath and was just about to make a move when Yun Xiao suddenly hit one of her acupoints, rendering her immobile.

Then Yun Xiao picked her up and leapt to a nearby tree, easily placing her on a branch.

What was Yun Xiao planning to do?

Though wolves aren’t great at climbing trees, this particular tree was not very large; the wolves would keep guard below unless they never came down and starved to death up there.

But after placing Xia Dabao on the treetop, he quickly cleared the nearby poisonous insects and snakes, and then swiftly leapt down, not even pausing for a moment before he began fighting fiercely with the pack of wolves with his knife.

Xia Dabao couldn’t move at all.

Yun Xiao had positioned her on the side of the tree facing away, so she couldn’t see what was happening below, only hearing the wolves’ howling and the sound of the knife piercing flesh.

She didn’t know how much time had passed when everything below gradually calmed down.

The howling of wolves grew weaker, and the smell of blood intensified.

And Yun Xiao was nowhere to be seen coming up to her.

What happened to him? Was he injured? Or dead?

She couldn’t move or speak.

A long time later, she finally heard heavy footsteps below, it must be Yun Xiao. He walked to the river first, probably to wash his face and hands.

After a considerable amount of time, he seemed to have finally recovered, then leapt up to release Xia Dabao’s acupoints, and carried her back to the ground.

Xia Dabao’s body was numb, but her first priority was to check if Yun Xiao was injured. He was covered in blood, impossible to tell which was wolf blood and which was his own, a shocking sight. She was almost in tears, "How are you?"

Yun Xiao shook his head, indicating he was fine.

Then he looked around at the wolf carcasses, "The smell of blood can easily attract other wild animals. We should leave quickly."

"Okay!"

The two walked along the riverbank.

It seemed as if the heavens were watching over them, because after walking about seven or eight li, Xia Dabao suddenly saw a small cabin in the woods, unsure who the reclusive expert was that had built it.

"Yun Xiao, there’s a house over there!" Xia Dabao pointed at the small cabin, excited.

Only then did she notice Yun Xiao’s face had turned completely pale, and blood was dripping from a wound on his hand.

"Yun Xiao, where are you hurt?" Xia Dabao asked.

Yun Xiao didn’t answer, just walked with Xia Dabao to the front of the derelict house. He let Xia Dabao stop in front, then pushed open the door and warily checked inside.

There was no one inside, the dust was thick, clearly it hadn’t been inhabited for decades.

Fortunately, there was a bed, as well as some broken bowls and ceramic pots.

Knowing it was safe, Yun Xiao then called Xia Dabao to come inside.
