546 Less Trouble

Arso rushed over when he heard the news.

As the leader of the dwarfs, he didn’t want anything to happen to the Goffins in Swan Valley.

Especially since Leta was the daughter of the leader of the Goffin tribe. If she really died here, the dwarfs would not be able to defend themselves. The Goffin tribe would definitely take revenge.

Arso apologized to Huanhuan on behalf of the Goffins, hoping that Huanhuan could help Leta detoxify the poison.

Huanhuan only wanted to teach Leta a lesson. She didn’t really want to poison her.

Since the old tribe leader was willing to give her a way out, Huanhuan agreed to help Leta detoxify the poison.

Leta woke up quickly, but her limbs were still weak. She couldn’t even stand properly. Someone had to help her. She glared fiercely at Huanhuan and gritted her teeth. “This isn’t over!”

Huanhuan chuckled. “If you cause trouble again, I won’t show mercy.”

Leta wanted to say something else, but her companions pulled her back and gestured for her to calm down.

By the time they were done, the sun was almost setting.

Arso suggested they stay and spend the night.

Huanhuan said, “It’s fine. We’re not afraid of walking at night.”

From the looks of the Goffins, she knew they wouldn’t let this matter go. She and Murphy had better get out of this troublesome place.

It was better to avoid trouble.

Huanhuan and Murphy left Swan Valley. The sky quickly darkened, and night fell. Fortunately, the sky was filled with starlight, so it was not especially dark in the forest.

The two of them found a quiet and clean place to stop and rest.

Murphy went to pick the fruits. As usual, Huanhuan planted a circle of Moonlight Mushrooms around her. She sat by the fire, took out an iron pot, cut the pickled vegetables into shreds, put them in the pot, and boiled them with water. She then sprinkled some seasonings.

By the time Murphy returned, a steaming pot of pickled vegetable soup was ready.

This was the first time Murphy had drunk pickled vegetable soup. It tasted sour and refres.h.i.+ng.

He praised sincerely, “Delicious.”

Huanhuan smiled. “I’m glad you like it.”

At this moment, she had taken off her veiled hat, revealing her beautiful face.

Even in the dark, it could not hide her beautiful face.

Especially when she smiled. It was even more dazzling than the fire in front of her. It made Murphy want to stay by her side forever.

Murphy was slightly stunned, then he looked away and suppressed the random thoughts in his heart.

After eating and drinking his fill, Murphy found hay and piled it thick. Huanhuan then spread out the animal hide. The moment she lay down, she sank into it. It was especially comfortable.

Huanhuan said to Murphy, who was not far away, “The Moonlight Mushrooms are on duty tonight. You should sleep with me too.”

Murphy hesitated.

Huanhuan had already moved aside to make way for a sizable s.p.a.ce.

Seeing this, Murphy couldn’t refuse anymore. He got up, walked over, and lay down beside her.

He carefully controlled his limbs and tried not to touch Huanhuan.

Huanhuan fell asleep quickly.

In her daze, the familiar chill appeared again.

Huanhuan woke up from the cold.

She opened her eyes and realized that Murphy, who should have been sleeping beside her, was gone. His surroundings were filled with black fog. She couldn’t see her fingers. The temperature was dropping.

Huanhuan tried to call out to Little Brat, but there was no response.

With her previous two experiences, Huanhuan quickly calmed down this time. This was just a dream. There was no need to be too afraid.

A black vine crawled out of the darkness.

Huanhuan immediately took out a small crossbow and aimed it at the vine. She scolded, “Don’t come over!”

The black vine paused but quickly continued to crawl toward her.

Huanhuan immediately released her grip. The little arrow shot out and pierced the vine, nailing it to the ground.

But soon, it split into two and continued to crawl toward Huanhuan.

Huanhuan kept shooting out more arrows.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

Three arrows in a row hit the vines.

However, it was useless. No matter how the vines were attacked, they were not injured. After they split, they keep increasing in numbers. In the blink of an eye, there were dozens of black vines.

They crawled up to Huanhuan.

Huanhuan quickly ran back, but the vines wrapped around her ankles.

She lost her balance and fell to the ground.

The black vines took the opportunity to surge over and wrap around her tightly.

Huanhuan struggled desperately.

But the more she struggled, the tighter the vines wrapped around her.

She felt as if her internal organs were about to be displaced. It was unbearable.

One of the vines crawled up her neck to her face and stopped in front of her eyes.

Although it had no eyes, Huanhuan could feel it staring at her.

She tried to ignore the pain in her body and asked word by word, “Xing Chen, is that you?”

The words ‘Xing Chen’ seemed to have some magic. As soon as Huanhuan asked, the black fog rolled.

They condensed into a blurry figure.

The figure floated in the air. When he approached Huanhuan, the temperature immediately plummeted.

Huanhuan s.h.i.+vered from the cold.

She stared at the blurry figure and repeated, “Xing Chen, is that you?”

The figure leaned closer as if it wanted to swallow her whole.

As soon as she saw the figure’s reaction, Huanhuan knew that she was right.

Xing Chen had really followed her to the dawn continent.

She knew this guy was stubborn. The more one opposed him, the more he insisted on his ways. She softened her voice and looked at him seriously. “Please, let me go.”

The figure nuzzled her face. At the same time, the vines wrapped around her tighter.

“No.”

Huanhuan was tightly bound. She had no room to resist. She could only move her mouth.

She tried to reason with him. “I know you were imprisoned in the Sea of Illusions because you wanted to help the Divine Wood. Although your methods were too extreme, you had good intentions, so I believe you’re not bad by nature. Can you be magnanimous and let me go?”

“No.”

“I know I lied to you before, but you lied to me too. We’re even. Will you let me go?”

“No.”

“What will it take for you to let go?”

“No, no, I won’t let go even if I die!”

…

The more Huanhuan spoke, the tighter the vines wrapped around her.

In the end, Huanhuan was almost suffocated and could not speak.

The figure clung to her, and the chill seeped through her skin.

Huanhuan felt as if all the blood in her body was about to freeze.

Just as Huanhuan felt that she was about to be strangled to death, she suddenly heard Murphy’s voice.

“Huanhuan, get up!”

Huanhuan opened her eyes hard. The vines and the figure around her disappeared, leaving her only with the sight of Murphy squatting beside her. He held the bow in one hand and helped Huanhuan up with the other.

“There was a sneak attack. Find a place to hide. I’ll go and see what’s going on.”

Hearing this, Huanhuan’s remaining sleepiness disappeared.

She stood up and saw several figures moving not far away. When she looked closer, she saw that they were the Goffins she had seen in Swan Valley earlier in the day!
