Yang Guo said something to Guo Fu, who was originally unwilling to let her go. She was very anxious, wondering why her father would do such a thing.

But seeing that her mother had agreed, and considering what Yang Guo had said to her, she agreed as well, and soon gave Yang Guo a package.

Yang Guo found the girl quite cute; she said what she meant and wore her heart on her sleeve. Most importantly, she was very obedient, but had a bit of a temper.

Then she ran to Grandmaster and stayed with Da Wu and Xiao Wu.

Huang Rong and Guo Jing followed Yang Guo to the front of the group.

Yang Guo observed that there were about twenty people on the other side. Judging from their posture, they were similar to the scarred man, but they were more imposing. Guo Jing's worries were not unfounded. His side was at a great disadvantage. If they could not seize a good opportunity, they would be captured in one move, and then they would have to be hesitant to act.

Unfortunately, these thieves underestimated themselves.

Yang Guo stepped forward and asked, "Which one is the leader?"

The bandit leader leered, "Is this the kid? You look so young, can your body handle it?"

"Whether I can handle it or not is another matter, but it's obvious you've never eaten anything this good before."

Huang Rong and Guo Jing, who were not far behind, both possessed profound internal strength and could hear it.

Guo Jing naturally believed that Yang Guo was trying to lull the other side into a false sense of security.

Huang Rong inwardly cursed, though she was overjoyed, she couldn't help but mutter to herself: "Would you really let me give this to someone else?"

Huang Rong was startled by her own thoughts and quickly regained her composure.

The bandit leader, his sore spot touched, flew into a rage. "This kid's asking for it!" he thought, and was about to unleash his fury.

The scarred man next to him broke down. Last night should have been his paradise, but his head was still throbbing, and he had almost been cracked open by this brat.

"You little brat, you're asking for it."

He brandished his broadsword, ready to chop Yang Guo in two.

Huang Rong, Guo Jing, and the others all had different expressions.

Yang Guo remained calm, repeatedly calling out, "Watch Grandpa's Bewitching Powder."

As he spoke, he sprinkled a packet of powder. The group of thieves were shocked. Damn, how come this kid has his own sleeping powder, and such a large amount of it?

The bandit leader's expression changed, thinking it was left behind by the scarred man.

They covered their mouths and noses and backed away. The scarred man did the same. He used one pack last night and threw away another, but the amount wasn't that much. Wasn't it enough for one person? You've already used up a whole pack.

In a daze, he saw a man and a woman rush in, without covering their mouths and noses, and head straight for his older brother.

Oh no, you're talking nonsense! I've fallen for your lies!

He raised his sword and slashed at Yang Guo.

The bandit leader also realized what was happening and was about to shout for his brothers to charge when he saw a man and a woman rushing towards him like lightning.

Instead of sending his brothers to capture people, he went straight to his brothers' hideout. He had to be considered clever; if he had fought back, he probably would have been captured.

Once he darted in, Guo Jing and Huang Rong couldn't catch him for a while.

However, the brothers were scattered and disorganized by the hypnotic drugs and shock.

Just as he was charging up his attack, he heard another voice: "Watch out for the powder."

I've fallen for your nonsense.

Just as he was about to rush towards the kid, he saw the scarred man fall to the side.

You really do!

Some of the underlings wanted to pull out the sleeping powder from their pockets, but before they could, they heard their boss say: "Don't move, you're ruined."

It was clear that Guo Jing had already seized his vital point.

Some of the younger men, sensing the danger, ran away in the blink of an eye. Among them were some of the young apprentices.

That kid is quick to seize an opportunity.

Yang Guo said something to the crowd and then chased after them.

That kid was really fast; he disappeared into the woods in a flash. Yang Guo's movement technique was already limited to a small range, and it wasn't easy to use it in the forest. He had originally wanted to try out his palm technique.

It seemed there was no chance, so we had to return.

But I could vaguely hear a woman screaming ahead.

So they went to look for it.

All that could be seen was a woman struggling in the water, and a young man who had already run away.

The woman in the water was very troubled. Today, she had abandoned her servants and come out to clear her mind.

Since she got married, apart from the night before her husband touched her, he said she was unlucky. Needless to say, they never had any intimate relations, not even once.

She thought it was a problem with her own health and sought medical treatment for years, but to no avail. It wasn't until later that she learned it was her husband who was impotent.

She felt both ashamed and resentful; that man had deceived her for so many years. For so many years, she had borne the blame for the family's lack of a patriarch, only to find out in the end that it was her husband who had maliciously led her astray.

She learned about these things today and felt saddened, so she went out to clear her mind.

Unexpectedly, while sitting by the water, she was bitten on the ankle by a venomous snake, and she quickly tried to circulate her qi to avoid the poison.

Just as she regained her balance, a guy ran out and knocked her into the water. She couldn't swim.

But then he thought that his life was meaningless and he might as well sink to the bottom of the river.

She stopped struggling and let herself sink.

shore.

Yang Guo looked at the woman he had rescued and was speechless. This woman had almost killed him; luckily, he was a good swimmer.

But who could have known that she was still conscious even as she was sinking? When they pulled her up, she grabbed Yang Guo's neck and nearly strangled him to death.

ashore,

Fortunately, Yang Guo had learned first aid techniques and had watched quite a few short videos.

Without thinking, he started performing CPR and chest compressions.

"Cough, cough."

The woman coughed up water and slowly woke up.

Yang Guo then took a closer look at the silly woman.

A look of amazement flashed in Yang Guo's eyes. This woman was so beautiful that she was no less than Huang Rong.

If Huang Rong is like a beautiful and bright peach blossom, her charm is restrained, perhaps because she never flaunts it, so no one sees her charm.

But this woman was different. Although she seemed delicate and beautiful at the moment, Yang Guo could feel that even the most normal movements made his blood surge.

She wore a scarlet dress that accentuated her beautiful curves, with rounded shoulders and a slender yet supple waist with a natural arc.

Water droplets slid down her smooth skin, smudging her delicate eyeliner and adding a wild, decadent beauty.

The woman looked around in confusion and saw a man standing next to her, wearing only his undershirt and soaking wet.

His soaked black hair clung to his angular face, water droplets dripping down his high nose and slightly pursed lips, and his eyes—which seemed to hold two bottomless vortexes—possessed a composure and depth beyond his years, making people forget his age.

They were both sizing each other up, and when their eyes met, they both shuddered.

A blush quietly rose on the woman's face.

She cried out "Ah!" and clutched her ankle, her face contorted in pain.

Yang Guo followed her hand to her ankle. The ankle bones were exquisitely defined, as if they were carefully carved from white jade. However, there were two scarlet snake bite marks on her delicate and pale ankle.

Like cinnabar falling on rice paper, it is glaring and eerie. Tiny beads of blood slowly seep out, mixing with water droplets, creating a cruel beauty that chills the heart.

The woman remained silent, biting her lip as she looked up at him, as if this man had always been her closest person. Since fate had sent him to her at the moment of her death, she would naturally abide by this destined encounter.

"Young lady, you've been bitten by a snake."

"Young man, please save me."

The woman's every move and expression was designed to provoke Yang Guo's senses.

Yang Guo knew snakes well. This snake was non-venomous; he could simply find some herbs around it and apply them to the affected area.

When the woman saw the man go to find herbs, her seductive eyes were fixed on Yang Guo, and she didn't restrain herself even when Yang Guo returned.

Yang Guo was about to chew some herbs to apply to her wound.

The woman replied, "Young master, I've heard this snake is poisonous. What should I do? How can I suck out the venom?"

Yang Guo was speechless for a moment.

Yang Guo looked at her pretty face.

She looked at the riverbank in the distance, not daring to look at him.

Little did he know that although the woman had fallen for him at first sight, her feet had never been looked at like that by anyone other than herself.

"Miss, do you still need an antidote?" Yang Guo asked the woman.

"My lord, I'm waiting." The woman's head was already lowered to an unknown distance, and her soft voice reached Yang Guo's ears.
