How to capture the evil villain? I choose to be his mother!

Chapter 502 The Useless Female Supporting Character's Sword Master Mother (5 pages)
Zhu Wen led Mingmiao on a three-day tour of this "ghost wall".

Such behavior, as seen by outsiders, greatly displeased them.

"Didn't you say you were going to hunt down those slaves? Why haven't you done it yet?"

"There's no need to chase them down; the slaves started fighting amongst themselves because they had no food."

"So that woman deliberately took the rations to make them kill each other?"

"Tsk tsk, that's much more interesting. Look how fiercely they're fighting; it's no different from starving dogs fighting over food."

What are those two women doing? Going for a spring outing?

"They're probably getting familiar with the environment so it'll be easier to hunt them down later."

"They're quite dedicated. Okay, let's keep watching."

"..."

The onlookers were discussing it enthusiastically.

Qi Sheng, the young man in blue robes sitting in the corner, did not look too good.

He looked at the woman in the water mirror who had suddenly become low-key and cautious, and had a bad feeling.

"Eldest son."

The chief steward of the ferry boat approached him and bowed.
"The 'natural disaster' you requested has been almost fully tested, but this will probably end the game prematurely. The game is scheduled to last fifteen days, the same as the journey of the ferry. If it ends early, it will probably damage the reputation of our ferry."

Qi Sheng looked at him with a sinister gaze:
"Then let's find a way to drag this out for fifteen days! Anyone who dares to set foot on the territory of my Qi family's 'colosseum' will be tortured to death before she dies!"

The head steward was startled and quickly lowered his head:

"Understood, young master."

Qi Sheng stood with his arms crossed and a cold face.

A short while later, his younger brother, the boy with the ponytail, Qi Ming, arrived.

"Brother, what are you so nervous about? No matter how powerful that mysterious woman is, can she be stronger than you, who is at the Nascent Soul stage? At worst, we can just wait for her to come out and kill her. Why make such a big fuss?"

Qi Sheng gritted his teeth:

"What do you know! I'm not worried about her, I'm worried about her being with Mingmiao..."

At the crucial moment, he swallowed his words again, leaving Qi Ming even more confused.

"What's wrong with Mingmiao again? Brother, I've always wondered why you, who clearly disliked Mingmiao, would still be nice to her and even become her fiancé... Why have you changed your mind now?"

Qi Sheng glanced at him indifferently:
"You didn't know I disliked her before, right? That's why you competed with me, wanting Mingmiao to like you, right?"

Qi Ming's face flushed red instantly after his despicable thoughts were exposed.

"I, I'm not..."

Although they offered explanations, they were weak and unconvincing.

Qi Sheng snorted, unconcerned:
"What about Zhuangzhuang? It's the same way..."

"No! That's not true! I really like Zhuangzhuang! Don't slander me!"

The boy argued loudly, wishing he could tear his heart out to prove his passion for the person he liked!
Qi Sheng scoffed, remaining noncommittal.

But Qi Ming still had to jump up and down frantically to explain.

However, after this experience, Qi Ming forgot what he had been asking in the first place...

The topic was successfully shifted, and Qi Sheng suppressed the irritation in his eyes.

He looked back at the center of that mirror-like surface of water.

Just then, the scene reflected in the water mirror showed Zhu Wen sitting cross-legged on a rock, lazily looking up at the sky.

As Qi Sheng looked at the water mirror, Zhu Wen was also looking outside the water mirror.

The two seemed to be looking at each other from a distance.

Qi Sheng felt a sudden chill run down his spine.

No...I won't...

Their plans cannot be disrupted...

Qi Sheng suppressed his unease and patiently awaited the many crises to come.

Soon, changes began to occur within that secluded secret realm.

First, dark clouds gathered, and lightning flashed and thunder roared.

In the blink of an eye, a dense downpour poured down like the waters of a celestial river.

Zhu Wen, who was just leisurely sunbathing on the rock, had to move to another spot.

Mingmiao was also moving things, like a diligent ant.

Over the past two days, she and Zhu Wen have collected a lot of food in this mountain forest.

There were fresh wild fruits, game hunted by Zhu Wen himself, and fish caught by Ming Miao in her clumsy fishing net...

Some of them were processed and stored as rations for the two of them for the foreseeable future. According to Mingmiao, the arena would probably last for about fifteen days.

Therefore, the accumulated amount of things is more than one might imagine.

After carrying the load for a while, Mingmiao started to feel back pain.

It's clear that she used to be a pampered young lady.

How can you be this tired after doing so little work?
Zhu Wen sighed and stepped forward to help.

Mingmiao blinked in a panic:

"No need! I can do it!"

She wasn't just being polite; she genuinely wanted to stop Zhu Wen.

She was afraid that Zhu Wen would take away her opportunities, and then there would be no point in her staying by Zhu Wen's side.

Mingmiao is desperately trying to prove that her existence is meaningful.

Zhu Wen carried things without even looking up.
"We're partners, working together is only natural, what are you being so awkward about?"

Mingmiao stood there stunned, unable to come to her senses for a long time.

They quickly moved to a cave they had chosen beforehand.

The air here isn't very good, and the area isn't as spacious as under the big trees outside.

Fortunately, it can provide shelter from the wind and rain, and the interior is relatively safe.

Mingmiao had already detached herself from the emotions she had just experienced.

As if to suppress her chaotic thoughts, she deliberately started talking about the weather:

"This rain is so strange. The weather was perfectly fine this morning."

Zhu Wen thoughtfully echoed:

"Yes, this rain came so suddenly, it's unusual."

Mingmiao turned her head to look at her blankly, but her senses were quite sharp:

"Could this rain have some other meaning?"

Zhu Wen smiled lightly:

"If this space can become an arena to trap people, then what's wrong with manipulating the weather? This is the real, invisible killing move."

At this moment, Mingmiao seemed more and more like a pampered young lady who knew nothing of human suffering:

"It's just raining, what's the big deal?"

Zhu Wen rested his chin on his hand, his eyelashes concealing the dark light in his eyes:
"Just watch."

The rain intensified.

Later, the outside world became a vast expanse of white.

Even the grass and trees right next to us were blurred by the rain, making them difficult to see clearly.

Mingmiao clutched the hem of her clothes, looking somewhat uneasy.

Zhu Wen remained quite calm.

until……

A rumbling sound came from inside the mountain behind us.

Zhu Wen clicked his tongue:
"It looks like this area is going to collapse."

Mingmiao was stunned:

"Is the mountain going to collapse?"

Zhu Wen patiently explained:

"It's not that the mountain is about to collapse, it's a landslide, a mudslide... Never mind, let's leave here first."

The most urgent task now is to save lives.

Zhu Wen decisively stood up, grabbed Mingmiao, and walked out.

Mingmiao tried her best to turn her head away:
"Our food!"

Wishing you a swift run:

"Life is more important."

Besides, they won't stay inside for too long.

It's time to get out.

Zhu Wen's concerns are valid.

They had barely run away from the cave when a rumbling thunderclap sounded behind them.

A section of the mountain collapsed.
