Kapitel 29: Sinister Smile

Redakteur: Misty Cloud Translations

"Those wolves are still around? They….. They are going to keep following us?" He was suddenly rather shocked. They have walked quite a distance and he had not realised that there was a pack of more than ten wolves following behind them.

He did not dare imagine. If they had been caught completely unaware and those wolves had pounced on them, what kind of a result would it have been…..

"No worries. They wouldn't dare to pounce on us. They are just waiting for an opportunity." Feng Jiu glanced briefly at the wolves, and then turned back and continued walking.

She knew after she had brutally and mercilessly killed off a few of those wolves, it had already successfully served as a deterrent for the rest of the pack and they would not dare to recklessly charge in at them anymore. The wolves were well aware that any wrong move they made would only mean certain death for them!

But the wolves were unwilling to just leave, so they had tailed the pair a distance away, waiting for a chance.

"Are we going to just let them follow behind us like this?" The man asked in shock, seeing that the little beggar didn't seem the least bit concerned, and found it rather strange.

[The little beggar was obviously much younger than him, how did he come to possess such guts and those amazing skills?]

Feng Jiu stopped in her tracks and looked straight at the man. "Or you want to go chase them away?"

"Har!? ….. I think there's no need. Just let them follow us then!" He smiled sheepishly and scratched at his head helplessly.

Hence, if anyone was closeby, they would then see this strange scene passing.

Two guys ambling leisurely in front, and on their tails about ten meters behind them, was a pack of over ten hungry grey wolves salivating heavily at the jaws…..

"Little kid, do you think what's on this jade emblem could be my name?" He handed a piece of jade to Feng Jiu as he said: "It was originally hung around my neck."

Feng Jiu took the piece of jade and looked at it. There were really three words engraved upon it that read: "Guan Xi Lin?"

Her voice paused a moment as she stared at the man a moment before she asked: "You are called Guan Xi Lin?"

"I am thinking it might be possible."

She returned the jade pendant back to him and said with a laugh: "I had thought you might have been called a big oaf!"

"….."

Guan Xi Lin looked at the little beggar wordlessly, but wisely did not say anything more.

The two of them covered another stretch and the pack of wolves were still following behind, not showing any signs of leaving.

Until, Guan Xi Lin sniffled his nose and he grinned at Feng Jiu to say: "Little kid, there's people up front, let's hurry up and catch up to them. If those people allow us to follow them, then those wolves following behind us would then never dare to attack us anymore."

"People? How do you know?" She peered in front, and besides trees and weeds, she did not see a single sign of anyone there.

He nodded his head insistently: "There is, for sure! I can smell the aroma of meat being roasted."

"The smell of roasting meat? How come I do not smell it?" She mumbled as she continued to walk another distance. After a while, she could really smell the aroma of meat being roasted and she could faintly hear the voices of people talking. She immediately shot a inquisitive look at Guan Xi Lin beside her.

[Does he have the nose of a hound?]

"Heh heh, see? I told you there are people here!" He said with a laugh: "Let's go, when we get there and they allow us to follow them, we wouldn't have to be afraid even if we meet with anymore wild beasts."

"You think people would just allow us into their group that easily?" She glared at him and then said: "Only I would be so free to let you tag along with me."

Seeing him standing there dazed and his face helpless, Feng Jiu glared at him and continued to say: "This place is called the Nine Entrapment Woods and it's filled with many ferocious beasts. In a place so filled with endless dangers, what do you think others will think when they see two strangers suddenly approaching them?"

"What….. what will they think?" He asked curiously, not comprehending the situation.

"Moron! They will think what ulterior motives we have in getting close to them!"

"Then what do we do?"

Feng Jiu's gaze changed, and her lips parted into a sinister smile: "It's alright. I have a plan. Just watch me."

Kapitel 30: Why Are You Staring at My Little Kid Brother!

Redakteur: Misty Cloud Translations

After that, Guan Xi Lin just stayed at Feng Jiu's side as they quietly got closer to the group of people. First they hid behind trees and observed the people for awhile from a long distance away, then she led him to walk boldly forward. He had thought that the little beggar was thinking up some scheme to make those people bring the two of them along, and he had not expected that the kid would lead him to walk past the group of people by the side. The little beggar had not said a word, nor had he even cast a glance towards the men.

But those men were instantly on their guard when they saw the two men who had suddenly appeared. The leader discreetly gauged them a moment before he relaxed his guard. As the two men's cultivation were not of a high level, they did not pose a threat to them.

But at that same moment, he heard his tribesmen shout out in surprise.

"Third Lord, it's a pack of wolves!"

Because of that shout, the thirty to forty men who were sitting down in rest suddenly quickly stood up alert. It was also at that moment that Feng Jiu who had already gone a distance ahead shouted out in shock after hearing the man's shout.

"What? A pack of wolves? Where? Where?" She shouted out nervously, as she dragged Guan Xi Lin to backpedal towards the side of the men.

"Who are you two? Did the two of you lure that pack of wolves here! ?" A middle aged man hollered, staring angrily at them.

"How is that possible! ?"

She stared back at them and said: "Those are wolves! Not kittens! How could we possibly make them follow us here? Moreover, if we had earlier known that wolves were tailing behind us, we would have run for our lives! Why would we still be walking so leisurely?"

"Old Sixth, do not be too rash. Keeping our guard up should be out prerogative right at this moment!" The leader of the men said in a stern voice. "That is a whole pack of ferocious grey wolves and they are extremely quick and nimble. Everybody watch out."

Feng Jiu saw the entire team of men systematically forming a surrounding protective ring, with several of the younger and weaker youths, both boys and girls in the middle. She pulled Guan Xi Lin to go closer to the team of men but they remained just on the outer edges, and did not enter the protective ring. Even then, they were stared at viciously by a young girl from inside the ring.

"You filthy little beggar! You had better stay far away from me!"

"Cousin, do not be rude." A youthful boy chided her, looking a little displeased at the girl's spoilt and rude behaviour.

He looked towards Feng Jiu and Guan Xi Lin and said gently: "Seeing that both of you do not possess high cultivation, you had better stand inside the protective ring! My uncles and elders in my family with the guards are highly skilled, and a mere pack of ten over wolves would not pose too big a threat to us."

"Hahaha, that's right! Just these few wolves would be just right for us to stretch ourselves a little." A wide chested and burly man guffawed loudly after hearing the youth's words, swinging the mighty axe in his hands. "Just one swing of this mighty axe will be able take down one of them!"

When he heard those words, the leader of the man shook his head to himself and said: "Steel Bull, we must not get careless and underestimate the enemy at all times. Stay alert. We'll fight those wolves if they leap at us."

"Yes yes yes." The burly man conceded with a laugh as he stared at the wolves not too far away. With that stare, he guffawed once more and said: "Third Lord, look at those wolves! They don't even dare come near us. Hahahaha, they must be frightened at the sight of me."

Feng Jiu could not help herself and a snigger escaped her lips when she heard those narcissistic words before she said to the youth: "Thank you Young Master. We are fine just standing here."

"Kid, what are you laughing at? Are you thinking I am not capable of scaring off that bunch of dogs?" The burly man's brows arched up alarmingly, his face filled with displeasure as he stared at Feng Jiu.

Feng Jiu had not even managed to say a word when Guan Xi Lin at the side suddenly pulled her back to stand behind him.

He had his chest puffed up standing in front of her as he stared back at the burly man: "Why are you staring at my little kid brother!"
