Gu Beihuai grabbed Tang Chuxia by the ear and lifted her up.
"Tang Chuxia, if you can’t talk properly, I can help seal your mouth shut!"
Tang Chuxia: "..."
Actually, she was just trying to lighten the mood.
Luckily, she also knew that Gu Beihuai was in a bad mood, probably because he had discovered something.
As a woman with great adaptability, Tang Chuxia knew when to bend and when to stand firm.
She carefully asked, "What’s wrong?"
Gu Beihuai gritted his teeth, wanting nothing more than to give Tang Chuxia a good scolding.
"Move out!"
"Got it!!"
Tang Chuxia responded so casually that A, B, C, and D almost burst out laughing.
If it weren’t for the inappropriate timing, they would have gladly become best buddies with Tang Chuxia.
Who doesn’t like a lively character?
Gu Beihuai was not going to indulge them in this idea and, with a dark face, pulled Tang Chuxia along to continue exploring.
Tang Chuxia sighed, "If not for the fact that you’re not strong enough, I would’ve made you carry me!" Tang Chuxia fiddled with her tracker, allowing Gu Beihuai to hold her by her collar, assisting her as they moved.
Gu Beihuai reminded her irritably, "Do you have some misunderstanding about your combat skills? I can carry you?"
Tang Chuxia thought for a moment and said quite seriously, "Indeed, I am such a beautiful woman; it’s not proper for you to carry me!"
Gu Beihuai, not keeping up with her train of thought, asked in confusion.
"Naturally, because you are ugly!"
Gu Beihuai: ...
Tang Chuxia sensed the growing tension beside her and immediately backed down.
Provoking him too much, and she would be the one to suffer.
She immediately laughed awkwardly, "I was wrong, I was wrong! I really was wrong! Let’s keep looking for my brother!"
Gu Beihuai, annoyed, offered, "I’ll carry you!"
Tang Chuxia was shocked. She turned to look at Huang Yaqin, who laughed and said, "If you’re tired, just say so, Xiao Gu can surely help, can’t he?"
Tang Chuxia nodded.
"Exactly, since I’m his nominal wife, how could I let anyone else carry me?" said Tang Chuxia as she jumped onto Gu Beihuai’s back.
"Giddy up, let’s go!!!"
In her moment of arrogance, Tang Chuxia naturally earned herself a slap on the behind from Gu Beihuai.
"Can you treat me like a human?" Gu Beihuai was truly exasperated.
Tang Chuxia got hit and was a bit angry, "I thought you were Pigsy!"
Peng Fei, following behind, was puzzled, "Pigsy wasn’t a person though!"
Brother A chimed in, "Even if he was Pigsy, you wouldn’t use ’Giddy up’, to make a pig run, you should say: Lo-lo-lo..."
Tang Chuxia applauded, "Right, you’re the best, brother!"
Gu Beihuai shouted, "Shut up!!!"
Tang Chuxia: ...
Brother A: ...
Peng Fei: ...
He didn’t say anything, just became "the boss"!
He was angry!
He was really angry!
Tang Chuxia wrapped her arms around Gu Beihuai’s neck and whispered into his ear, "Hubby~~~"
Gu Beihuai: ...his calf started cramping!
Did this woman know what she was doing?
"Don’t be mad. I was just trying to lighten the mood, so no one looks so grim and scary!" Tang Chuxia reasoned.
Gu Beihuai felt his ears burning.
He wanted to remind Tang Chuxia not to talk directly into his ear but, for some reason, didn’t, and let her keep murmuring by his ear.
The soft breaths brushing against the hairs of his ear were more tormenting than the surrounding vines.
Fortunately, the beeping of the tracker in Tang Chuxia’s hand distracted him from that unfamiliar feeling.
"Stop!"
Tang Chuxia patted Gu Beihuai’s shoulder and jumped off his back.
She wandered with the tracker until it suddenly started shrieking wildly in one direction.
"This way!" Tang Chuxia no longer wore her playful smile; her whole demeanor was sharp and focused.
She started sprinting immediately.
Gu Beihuai and the others barely had time to ask what was happening before following Tang Chuxia.
Tang Chuxia was fast, equipped with a machete and extraordinary strength. Any obstacles were nonexistent before her; anything she could chop, she chopped, and what she couldn’t, she kicked away.
It was the first time A, B, C, and D witnessed Tang Chuxia using her divine power, their eyes unable to keep up, just feeling that Tang Chuxia paving the path ahead was like a human tank.
A cleared path left behind her.
Wouldn’t someone like this be incredibly formidable in the wilderness?
Ignoring the thoughts of A, B, C, and D, Tang Chuxia suddenly stopped after reaching a position.
Gu Beihuai and Huang Yaqin caught up, especially Gu Beihuai, who yelled at Tang Chuxia, "Why are you running randomly? Do you know how dangerous it is here?"
Tang Chuxia nodded, swinging the machete in her hand and severing a snake lunging at her, her expression indifferent as though it were a stranger.
"I found Third Brother!" Tang Chuxia’s voice was unusually calm.
Even if she hadn’t spoken, Huang Yaqin and Gu Beihuai saw it too. Facing them was a cliff, and Tang Chuxia pointed to a hanging figure swaying in the wind beside the cliff.
Gu Beihuai, Peng Fei, and the rest were shocked at the sight and quickly sought ways to rescue him.
Tang Chuxia looked around, expressing that by the time they figured it out, the person would have fallen and become a pile of mush.
Huang Yaqin slumped to the ground, her legs giving out.
The person dangling on the opposite side was Tang Jianzheng.
Everyone here, except for Tang Chuxia, recognized him at a glance as Tang Jianzheng.
Tang Chuxia looked around, found a large tree and some vines. Although they had ropes, none were long enough when tied together to be of much use.
Tang Chuxia uprooted a large tree and kicked it down to act as a beam between two huge rocks.
She wrapped the vines around and, amidst the cries of Gu Beihuai and Peng Fei, swung down the cliff holding the vine.
"She’s gone mad!!!"
Huang Yaqin scrambled to her feet, trying to grab Tang Chuxia but failed.
Tang Chuxia acted too decisively!
Gu Beihuai, Peng Fei, and the brothers A, B, C, and D were too far to reach her; no one expected Tang Chuxia to act so boldly, jumping without any safety measures.
They could only watch anxiously as Tang Chuxia swung down, using the vine to move along the cliff face.
She occasionally pressed her hand against the rocks to grab stones and pelted them at a flock of circling eagles in mid-air.
The eagles surrounding Tang Jianzheng and attempting to attack him were no match for Tang Chuxia’s remarkable throwing skills, plummeting down the cliff one by one.
Tang Jianzheng looked at Tang Chuxia descending from the sky, his eyes squinting as he gave her the middle finger.
