Yin Xinyue watched his retreating figure with gritted teeth in hatred, but there was nothing she could do. She could only sigh deeply and quickly follow after him.

After following Li Xiaohu for a long time, the railway tracks behind them had long since disappeared, and all around was a vast grassland.

The two of them were silent all the way.

Yin Xinyue suddenly asked the original question: "Did you find the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book or not?"

It all started with the "Dragon Bone Heavenly Book".

I just don't know if Li Xiaohu actually found the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book.

Li Xiaohu stopped and turned to look at Yin Xinyue, asking impatiently, "Are you annoying? What does it matter to you whether I found it or not? You keep asking."

Yin Xinyue got angry when she heard this and scolded, "Of course it's related! That's mine!"

"Your stuff?" Li Xiaohu chuckled.

“Of course!” Yin Xinyue shouted righteously, “My father has already given you the Long-faced Arhat Cat, so you should take out the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book. This is a deal between you two!”

"Unless you intend to be a dishonest person from the start!"

Li Xiaohu suddenly scratched his ear cheekily and replied nonchalantly, "It was clearly your father who broke his promise first."

"I told him I would deliver the things at midnight, but he didn't believe me and even sent people to hunt me down; if it weren't for my quick wit, I would probably be dead at the New Moon Hotel by now."

"If I were to give him the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book, wouldn't I look like a complete idiot?"

"You!" Yin Xinyue was speechless, exasperated by his twisted logic. "You're just being unreasonable!"

"No one would believe you would honestly deliver the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book at midnight; you're simply committing fraud!"

Li Xiaohu waved his hand without turning his head and said, "Believe it or not."

"You bastard! Pervert! Scoundrel!" Yin Xinyue jumped up and down in anger. "I will definitely kill you and then take back the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book!"

Chapter Seven - I think you're so stupid! (Please give me flowers and reviews~)

Li Xiaohu pursed his lips and smiled noncommittally.

"If you're so capable, then come and try."

in fact.

Li Xiaohu did indeed find the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book.

I bought it while selling mountain goods near Gulan County, Shaanxi Province. I just don't know if it's the same piece from the Longling Caves.

However, he certainly never intended to hand over the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book in the first place.

After all, he knew very well that with the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book, he would have clues to find the Muchen Pearl.

And the Muchen Pearl!

It's an ancient artifact that allows him to access the secrets of immortality!

When Li Xiaohu transmigrated to this world, he had neither a system nor any bloodline.

If he doesn't strive for something himself, all that awaits him is to become an unknown wanderer of the martial world, slowly fading away in the next few decades.

But once you have the Muchen Pearl...

From now on, he will not only be able to completely change his own destiny, but also the destiny of others will be firmly in his hands!

In the midst of contemplation.

Suddenly, Yin Xinyue lunged at Li Xiaohu and started punching him wildly with her small fists.

Li Xiaohu gripped her arm tightly and said seriously, "That's enough."

“We don’t know how long we’ll have to walk across the grassland. Let’s save our energy for now. Once we’re out of the grassland and we’re sure your father’s men aren’t chasing us, I’ll let you go.”

"Whether you go back or try to kill me, I won't stop you."

Throughout the ordeal, Yin Xinyue struggled with her hands, but couldn't move them at all. She could only look at Li Xiaohu with a helpless and frustrated expression.

Perhaps finding some truth in what Li Xiaohu said, she suddenly stopped struggling and simply said, "Let me go."

Li Xiaohu knew she had taken his words to heart, so he let go of her hand.

Yin Xinyue rubbed her already red wrist and muttered softly, "Even if you let me go now, I won't leave."

"I'm going to take you and the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book back to the New Moon Hotel."

In fact, she knew in her heart that after this incident, the reputation of the Crescent Hotel would be greatly damaged.

If Li Xiaohu and the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book are not brought back, the New Moon Hotel will completely lose its former status, and her father's lifelong hard work will be completely in vain.

As the successor to the Crescent Hotel, she had to do something.

Watching Li Xiaohu's retreating figure and the two spirit cats following him closely, Yin Xinyue quietly made up her mind!

Escaping was no longer her goal.

Her current goal is to bring Li Xiaohu and the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book back to the New Moon Hotel!

When Yin Xinyue came to her senses.

Li Xiaohu had already walked dozens of meters away.

He hurried to catch up.

"Hey! Wait for me!"

The two wandered aimlessly across the grassland for about two hours.

Suddenly, the outlines of mountain peaks appeared ahead, resembling a continuous mountain range.

Li Xiaohu became increasingly confused.

Where exactly is that train going?

Where are they now?

He could normally determine his location by observing the stars, but tonight the sky was covered with thick clouds, and he could only see half a moon hidden in the clouds. He couldn't see a single star, so he had no way to tell his location.

I turned to ask Yin Xinyue.

But when he saw the look in her eyes that seemed to want to kill him, he thought better of it and decided against it.

That one glance, however, gave Yin Xinyue an outlet for her frustration: "Why are you looking at me?"

"Nothing." Li Xiaohu shook his head and continued walking towards the mountain.

"Are you planning to do something bad?" Yin Xinyue asked, frowning.

Li Xiaohu turned around and looked at Yin Xinyue with great confusion.

"what?"

Yin Xinyue explained, "Your gaze just now was malicious!"

Li Xiaohu replied generously, "I originally wanted to ask you some questions, but after thinking about it, I decided against it."

Now it was Yin Xinyue's turn to be puzzled.

"Then why don't you ask?"

"I think you're incredibly stupid," Li Xiaohu said with a mocking laugh. "There's no way you'd know the answer."

"You!" Yin Xinyue clenched her fists, wishing she could punch Li Xiaohu away!

From a young age, she showed extraordinary talent in mathematics and business, and was hailed as a business genius!

No one has ever called her stupid, and no one dares to call her stupid.

But these words actually came out of Li Xiaohu's mouth, which she found hard to accept.

How do you know I don't know the answer if you don't ask?

Yin Xinyue felt she needed to prove herself.

“Okay.” Li Xiaohu asked, “Do you know where we are now? You can tell me a direction.”

"This..." Yin Xinyue was at a loss for words, unsure of how to begin.

His genius was limited to business acumen and mathematics.

In terms of other areas of expertise, there's really nothing to boast about.

Li Xiaohu rolled his eyes, looking like he knew it, and shook his head helplessly.

Yin Xinyue immediately felt ashamed.

Why invite humiliation for no reason?

She sighed in shame, lowered her head silently, and didn't utter another word.

After a long time, the two finally arrived at the foot of several mountain peaks.

Through the faint moonlight, Li Xiaohu could vaguely discern that ahead lay a valley that led directly into the heart of the mountains.

Looking around, I saw that the mountain was covered with lush vegetation and trees, and there was even more inside, making it look like a forest area.
