I'm invincible once I descend the mountain; the beautiful CEO is forcing me to get our marriage

Once inside the mountains, the rugged mountain roads become a form of torture for ordinary people.

As the guide, Yang Jiajun led the way while fulfilling his duties, eloquently introducing various interesting stories and legends about Xunlong Mountain.

"Boss, look at this rock. Doesn't it look like a crouching tiger? We locals call it the Crouching Tiger Rock. Legend has it that a hunter once saw a real tiger here..."

"You mustn't go into that woods up ahead at night. It's very eerie. People who go in easily get lost and can wander around all night without finding their way out..."

He had to talk while climbing the mountain, which was very tiring.

Before long, Yang Jiajun was covered in sweat and began to pant as he spoke.

He instinctively turned around to let the guests rest, but was surprised to find that the two guests were perfectly fine, following him at a leisurely pace, with not a single bead of sweat on their faces.

In fact, judging from their appearance, they even seemed to be compromising their own pace.

Yang Jiajun was very surprised.

He grew up in these mountains and has much better physical strength than the average city dweller.

These two bosses today, one looks refined and the other is not young, how come they have such good stamina?

In the end, the three of them reached the top of a mountain with an altitude of over 600 meters in less than an hour and a half.

This isn't the tourist boardwalk; it's a rugged path known only to locals.

Yang Jiajun stood on the mountaintop, holding his knees and panting heavily, feeling as if his worldview had been shaken.

Ye An stood atop the mountain and closed his eyes to sense the atmosphere.

The spiritual energy here is indeed richer than that of Longquan Mingdi, but it is very mixed and unevenly distributed.

As a mountain gate of a cultivation sect, it was too ordinary and couldn't support the expenses of an entire sect.

He had some doubts.

In half a day, they visited almost all the famous mountains in the vicinity, leaving their guide, Yang Jiajun, exhausted to the point of collapse.

In the afternoon, the sun began to set.

On a rugged mountain path, Yang Jiajun had half a dry biscuit in his mouth, one hand holding onto the mountain wall beside him, chewing with difficulty while pointing vaguely ahead.

"Boss... after that bend... we'll reach the legendary Dragon's Pool..."

Yang Jiajun was hoping that his guests would stay in the mountains for a few more days so he could earn more money.

When guests are looking for places with legends of gods and ghosts, he wants to take them to every place he knows, leaving the most likely one for last.

But now, he just hopes this deal will be done as soon as possible.

If he continued walking like this, he was afraid he would die of exhaustion in these mountains.

The two guests I brought this time, the middle-aged man with the upright posture who looked like he was a martial arts expert, was one of them.

But the other young man, who looked refined, handsome, and otherworldly, was simply not human.

After walking for most of the day, the other person didn't break a sweat, and there wasn't even a speck of dust or wrinkles on their clothes. It was really strange!

"Yes, you've had a hard day."

Ye An walked behind with his hands behind his back, looking calm, and casually said, "I'll give you double the reward."

"Boss, really?!"

Yang Jiajun's eyes lit up when he heard this.

It seemed like most of the energy I had used up had returned at once, and my legs, which were supporting me against the mountain wall, felt stronger, so I quickly quickened my pace.

Just as the three of them rounded a bend in the mountain and were about to see the Dragon Sinking Pool that Yang Jiajun had mentioned,

boom!

A sudden gunshot rang out from the valley below not far away, startling a large flock of forest birds.

Yang Jiajun was so frightened that he shuddered and the half-eaten piece of dry biscuit he was holding in his mouth fell to the ground with a "thud".

His face was filled with panic, and he subconsciously turned around to look at the two guests behind him.

He expected to see the same panicked expression.

But the two men didn't stop for a second, as if they hadn't heard the gunshot at all, and walked past him without changing their expressions.

……

At the edge of Shenlongtan (Sinking Dragon Pool).

Several thugs and men dressed as bodyguards were surrounding three girls whose hands and feet were tied up, with malicious smiles on their faces.

On the grass not far away, the middle-aged man who looked like a butler lay dead in a pool of blood.

This butler was actually a master of internal energy, but unfortunately he encountered a pistol...

"Miss Lin, stop struggling. We brothers know your family is wealthy and owns a pharmacy. As long as you cooperate obediently and let someone bring money to ransom you, we guarantee we won't harm a single hair on your head."

The bald man at the head of the group patted Lin Chanyi's face with the barrel of his gun.

Lin Chanyi was both angry and scared, and turned her face away.

The tall, slender girl next to her suddenly spoke up, her voice laced with obsequiousness:

"Brothers, stop wasting your breath on her. Her family is rich; they certainly won't just stand by and watch me die. I... I'm willing to serve you, brothers, just please spare my life."

"Oh?" The bald man became interested.

"Besides," the girl glanced at Lin Chanyi, her eyes full of malice, "I can also help the older brothers persuade her."

"Don't let her aloof act fool you. Before she even went up the mountain, she had her eye on a random guy and even had someone approach her. I bet Miss Lin is feeling incredibly empty inside and longs for a man."

"You're talking nonsense!" Lin Chanyi was so angry that she trembled all over.

"I'm talking nonsense?" the girl sneered. "Brothers, if you sleep with this kind of slutty hussy with such a contrasting personality, she won't hate you. She might even thank you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the kidnappers' eyes turned red, and they began to breathe heavily like wild beasts.

The bald man at the head of the group licked his dry, cracked lips, grinned maliciously, and reached out, about to tear Lin Chanyi's clothes apart.

At the critical moment, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the dense forest, and three figures rushed in.

"That's him!"

The thin girl's eyes instantly turned venomous and morbidly ecstatic when she saw who it was.

She suddenly pointed at the young man leading the group and shrieked, "He's the adulterer that Lin Chanyi seduced!"

"Heh, Miss Lin's taste is really questionable," one of the kidnappers said contemptuously, sizing up the newcomer. "Besides being young, what does this pretty boy have that compares to me?"

After saying that, the men raised their guns and surrounded the three of them with sinister smiles.

In her despair, Lin Chanyi saw that face. In an instant, a courage she couldn't explain filled her chest, and she roared with all her might:

"Don't come any closer! Run! Get out of here!"

The kidnappers were startled by the shout and immediately raised their guns.

But what they saw was a young man with a calm expression, walking slowly towards them.

Ye An didn't look at the kidnappers or the girls who were tied up.

His gaze passed over everyone and landed on the deep, quiet pool behind them.

He kept walking, a slight smile even appearing on his face, and let out a soft sigh.

"This time, I think I've finally found the right place."

The kidnappers were enraged by his dismissive attitude.

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

Just as the bald man was about to pull the trigger, he saw the young man casually raise his hand and point in their direction.

Then, the bald man's sinister smile froze instantly.

The smug look on the skinny girl's face froze.

Every one of the standing kidnappers, and the girl, had a tiny bloody hole appear out of nowhere in the center of their forehead.

They didn't even have time to let out a scream before they fell straight down.

The world fell silent instantly.

Lin Chanyi, another slightly chubby girl, and Yang Jiajun, who was paralyzed with fear not far away, all stared wide-eyed at this incomprehensible scene.

Ye An's eyes reflected the pool of water, shimmering with a faint golden light.

He was very excited.

"Master Guan, keep up."

After he finished speaking, he walked straight towards Shenlongtan.

Master Guan followed closely behind.

When he reached the edge of the pool, he pulled out a thick wad of banknotes from his pocket and casually tossed them to Yang Jiajun, who was still sprawled on the ground.

"This is your payment."

After saying that, he didn't even look at the result, and followed Ye An's footsteps into the pool.

The two figures vanished into thin air in the deep pool.

Only two girls, their ropes untied and still in shock, remained, along with a pile of corpses and a tour guide sitting on the ground, clutching a wad of cash and questioning the meaning of life.

"Chanyi..." The slightly chubby girl tugged at Lin Chanyi's sleeve, her voice trembling.

"What kind of being... has your eye on?"
