Many children, many blessings; a stunningly beautiful wife is given to you right from the start.

Under the moonlight, a dark figure was moving swiftly through the forest of Wanren Mountain.

Her movements were so light they seemed inhuman.

With a light tap of the toes on the rough tree trunk, the body can propel itself several meters away.

Silent and stealthy, like a black cat hunting in the night.

She didn't follow any fixed route.

Sometimes it heads east, sometimes it heads west.

They might even circle around the same area several times, using the most complicated methods to erase any trace of their presence.

Finally, the dark figure stopped in front of a cliff face covered with vines.

She cautiously looked around, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual, she reached out and pushed aside the thick vines to reveal a dark hole, and slipped inside.

Inside the cave, a campfire flickered.

She skillfully lowered the longbow on her back, pulled down the hood that covered most of her face, revealing a head of neat, long black hair, simply tied back.

Then, she removed the black cloth covering her face.

In the firelight, a cool and exquisitely beautiful face was revealed.

A high, straight nose, thin lips, and sharp, well-defined facial features.

Together, they create a strikingly aggressive beauty.

The woman was tall and fit, and her tight-fitting hunting outfit accentuated her powerful muscle lines.

"Sister Yan! You're back!"

A petite figure quickly approached; it was Cui'er.

She looked Shangguan Yan up and down, her face full of worry.

"How did it go? Did it go smoothly? They... didn't find you, did they?"

Before Shangguan Yan decided to shoot that arrow, they had already had a heated discussion among themselves.

Lin Mo is undoubtedly the benefactor of Wu Zhong, who killed their blood feud.

But this benefactor was also a terrifying figure who could annihilate an army of 50,000 with a mere laugh.

Nobody knows what kind of person he is.

What if sending out the map exposes his location and attracts a demon even more terrifying than Wu Zhong?

Then those hundreds of sisters would truly be doomed.

However, in the end, Shangguan Yan still decided to send this "thank you gift".

But the premise is that you absolutely cannot expose yourself.

"rest assured."

Shangguan Yan's voice was clear and crisp, carrying a convincing calmness.

"I took several detours, and not even a fly could follow me back, let alone a person."

She had absolute confidence in her skills.

Cui'er finally breathed a sigh of relief, patting her chest: "That's good, that's good..."

However, she had barely finished speaking.

A slightly amused, completely unfamiliar male voice suddenly came from the cave entrance.

"Really? But I followed them the whole way and it felt quite easy."

The campfire inside the cave shook violently, casting a tall figure onto the rock wall.

Cui'er and Shangguan Yan froze instantly.

The two mechanically turned their heads to look at the cave entrance.

A young man dressed in black was seen leaning lazily against the rock wall at the cave entrance.

He crossed his arms and watched them with an air of leisure.

That handsome face, at this moment, was more terrifying than any demon in hell in their eyes.

"You...you..."

Cui'er's lips trembled, and she couldn't utter a single word; all the color drained from her face.

Shangguan Yan reacted much faster.

The moment she saw who it was, all the muscles in her body tensed up, her body sank down instantly, and her right hand reached out like lightning for the longbow beside her.

Her instincts, honed from years of walking the line between life and death, allowed her to immediately adopt the most correct fighting stance.

The other women in the cave also realized what was happening, and a sound of weapons being drawn rang out.

Dozens of women wielding swords and knives instantly surrounded Lin Mo, each with a resolute and wary expression on their face.

The atmosphere inside the cave instantly froze to freezing point.

Lin Mo seemed oblivious to the swords and blades pointed at him, and calmly walked into the cave.

His gaze swept over the tense women, finally settling on Shangguan Yan, who remained in an attack stance.

"I meant no harm."

Lin Mo shrugged, indicating that he had no weapon.

"I just want to ask you face-to-face, why are you helping me?"

Shangguan Yan stared at him, remaining vigilant.

She stared intently at Lin Mo's face.

silence.

A long silence.

Just when Lin Mo thought she was going to answer him with silence, she finally spoke.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

Eight characters, concise and to the point.

"Wuzhong?"

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow.

Shangguan Yan nodded her chin almost imperceptibly, and a fleeting hatred in her clear, cold eyes almost solidified into a tangible form.

Lin Mo understood.

He then looked around the cave.

Apart from him, the entire place was filled with women.

Most of them are quite young, yet they possess a maturity and resilience beyond their years.

Considering Wu Zhong's dissolute and immoral behavior, and the nearby Iron Wall Pass...

All the clues are connected.

These women were clearly persecuted by Wu Zhong and his gang of bastards, which forced them to hide in these deep mountains and forests.

For them, killing Wu Zhong was tantamount to personally slaying their blood feud with their enemy.

That map of the secret passage leading into the Iron Wall Pass was a gift of gratitude.

"I see."

Lin Mo put away his nonchalant expression and solemnly clasped his hands in a fist salute to Shangguan Yan.

"Thank you for the map. I, Lin Mo, will remember this favor."

"If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay you handsomely."

After saying that, Lin Mo did not linger any longer and turned to walk out of the cave.

Clean and efficient, without any hesitation or fuss.

Shangguan Yan was stunned.

She considered countless possibilities: coercion, bribery, or even worse.

She had considered that the other party might use their power to persecute her and her sisters, and do some despicable things.

But she never expected that after understanding the reason, the other party would leave without asking any questions.

What kind of person is this?

Shangguan Yan was filled with confusion.

However, just when she thought the matter was over...

Lin Mo, who had already reached the cave entrance, suddenly stopped.

He didn't turn around; he only left everyone with his back to them.

"This cave is cold and damp; it's not a place for humans to stay."

"However, it won't be long."

"The Iron Wall Pass is about to change. When that time comes, you'll be welcome home."

After saying that, Lin Mo's figure completely disappeared into the night.

The women, left alone in the entire cave, looked at each other in bewilderment.

Come back home?

Do they... still have a home to return to?

Shangguan Yan slowly lowered the longbow in her hand, and a complex expression appeared on her eternally icy face.

Cui'er leaned closer and stammered a question.

"Yan... Sister Yan, was what he just said true?"

Shangguan Yan did not answer.

She simply gazed silently at the deep darkness of the cave entrance, and after a long while, she softly uttered a few words.

"Perhaps..."
