Xu Pingru walked into the fire room and turned to close the door of the house behind her.

She asked Zhou Tian coldly, "I'm asking you now, all you need to do is nod or shake your head, don't try to hide it from me, if I detect that you're deceiving me, I'll shoot you immediately."

Zhou Tian was frightened and subconsciously nodded.

Xu Pingru only asked.

"That crappy poem, Li Zixuan wrote it for you, right?"

Zhou Tian hesitated for a moment, but still nodded his head.

Xu Pingru said coldly, "Don't you ever do that again, I don't like it very much, I'm only warning you once, if there's a next time, don't blame me for being merciless."

After Xu Pingru left the fire room, Zhou Tian asked Gao Song with some doubts, "Song Song, who do you think I should listen to, why am I a bit scared?"

Gao Song took the opportunity to say, "Tian Tian, I think, Big Brother Li is a very unreliable person, you must listen to Grandma Tai Shang Zu, be careful of offending her, she will really kill you!"

Zhou Tian's entire body trembled and said apprehensively, "I think so too, I'll stay away from Grandmother Tai Shang for now, for now!"

Gao Song persuaded, "Tian Tian, I've advised you many times, but you just won't listen, what a proud woman Grandmother Taishang is, how can people like us get into her eyes?"

"I'm not resigned to it!"

"What can you do if you're not willing, the person's sweetheart is her senior, even if that man refuses to accept her, it's impossible for her to be with people like us, you, you'd better die of this heart!"

Zhou Tian sighed softly and lowered his head, silent.

Reason is this reason, and the Way is that Way. In this world, if all acted according to reason, there would not be so many stories.

Often times, it's all about the person in question and the onlooker.

Zhou Tian is not not understand this reasoning, also clear for him, Xu Pingru is unattainable existence, but he still can not turn that corner.

Perhaps one day, when Zhou Tian walked out, he would look back on this experience and smile bashfully.

There may have been bitterness, self-deprecation, and retrospection in that smile, but he certainly didn't regret it.

At the very least, he had boldly loved and confessed, and even if there were no results, he would have no regrets in this life.

For a while afterward, all was quiet.

A month later, the group changed horses and continued to push towards the remote areas.

After traveling for almost half a month again, Xu Pingru said to Li Mu, "Brother Li, we're almost at our destination, do you have any plans for this treasure hunt?"

Li Mu asked rhetorically, "First you tell me where we're going and what the customs are like there so I can help you plan."

Xu Pingru replied, "The one we are going to is the Longhorn tribe, a barbarian tribe with a bold and uninhibited folk style, brave and fierce, and very much honoring heroes."

Li Mu was a bit surprised and asked, "Dragon Horn Clan, why is it called that, it's quite strange?"

Xu Pingru smiled and explained, "Legend has it that they are descended from dragons and their ancestors have a dragon's bloodline, everyone says so, but no one has ever tried to verify it."

"Little Dragon Man?"

"Almost, this race's gong method is rather strange, when they cultivate to a certain stage, two big bags will bulge out from the top of their heads, just like two dragon horns, the deeper the gong the bigger the dragon horns, therefore, they give themselves a name, called the Dragon Horn Race."

Liamu heard and understood.

"So that's it, where's that Wotsui bracelet?"

"It's on the wrist of the Dragonhorn Clan Chief's wife, and it's her beloved!"

"A woman's beloved object, it seems that it is somewhat difficult to obtain it!"

Xu Pingru nodded.

"Yes, big brother help me out, it's best to make her obediently hand over the He Cui bracelet, big brother Li, do you have any good ideas?"

"Not yet, allow me to think about it."

Xu Pingru puffed and laughed, mocking, "How could there be no way, you can write poems ah, you write her a love poem, maybe if she looks happy, she will give you the He Cui bracelet."

"This is not a good idea, I have nothing to do to seduce the chief's wife, do you think I have lived too long?"

Xu Pingru laughed jiaoqing up, and after laughing for a while, she asked softly, "Brother Li, do you often write poems?"

Li Mu immediately shook his head.

"How can I write poetry, Miss Xu don't make fun of me."

"No, that poem would be great with a little change, Brother Lee, if you wrote it to me, how would you change it?"

Li Mu stammered, "Miss Xu is joking, I don't even know what you're talking about, how can I write poetry, I really can't!"

Xu Pingru gave him a blank look and didn't say anything else, the scene was a bit awkward for a while.

Liamu decided to hurry up and talk about something else so she wouldn't go back to the poem.

So, out of the blue, he asked, "Miss Xu, how is the fighting strength of the Longhorn Clan, and is there anything special about their gong methods?"

Xu Pingru's heart was slightly dissatisfied, but she still answered the question.

"Although the Dragon Horn Clan is small in number, they are extremely strong in combat, and their main characteristic is that their body is strong and powerful, and when unusual people fight against them, they are at a disadvantage in terms of strength and endurance."

"Oh, pretty strong!"

"Well, and their gong method is very strange, belonging to a race that can't be beaten, no matter how badly injured they are, as long as the dragon's horns don't break, they can recover as good as new."

"Really, fake, could it be special powers?"

"You're right to say that, I know what you're playing at, but I advise you, it's better to be wise and not brute force easily."

"A race that can't be beaten?" Li Mu asked with a frown, "Is it true, or is it just a rumor you heard?"

Xu Pingru replied seriously, "It's not a rumor, it's true, if you want to kill the Dragon Horned Clan, you have to break their horns first, otherwise, they can't be killed."

"In that case, I really can't be brutal."

Little Brother Li was really planning to be brutal and look for an opportunity to snatch the Wo Cui bracelet.

Not many people here knew him anyway, so when the time came to pat his ass and leave, the rest of the mess would be cleaned up by Xu Pingru herself.

At this moment, hearing her say so, she couldn't help but feel a little frightened in her heart.

He wasn't afraid of offending people, but not being able to leave after offending people was his biggest worry.

For the sake of a broken bracelet, invoking a powerful race and attracting unnecessary trouble, such behavior was not in line with Little Brother Li's principle of dealing with things.

Thinking of this, he said to Xu Pingru, "Miss Xu, if you like bangles, you might as well let Master Zi create a few pairs of fine products for you, so why stare at that pair of bangles!"

"Not the same."

"I know it's different, it's just that, to potentially offend a powerful race for a pair of bracelets, do you think it's sensible?"

Xu Pingru stopped saying anything.

Li Mu continued to persuade, "Listen to me, you contact Master Zi and ask her to create a few pairs of exquisite bracelets for you, don't worry, the cost will be paid by me, count it as my gift to you."

Xu Pingru said shyly, "Good, thank you Brother Li, you gave it to me, I definitely like it, you are not allowed to lie to me, I want you to give it to me personally."

These words sounded strange, but Liamu didn't take them to heart.

He felt that it was fine to give it to her personally, as long as he didn't mess with the Dragonhorn Clan.

I was going to take the opportunity to persuade the other side to call it a day.

However, he heard Xu Pingru say, "Brother Li, since we're already here, let's pay a visit to the Longhorn Clan on the way!"

"Why is that?"

"In fact, the He Cui Bracelet was something I said casually, and the purpose of my coming here is mainly to fulfill the clan's mission."

"What mission?"

"I'm going to pay a visit to the leader of the Longhorn Clan and submit a letter of invitation to attend the Mengze Assembly in a year's time."

"The Menzies Conference?"

"Well, there is no government in the Mengze Continent, and the Mengze Assembly is equivalent to a governmental rendezvous, so don't feel pressured, Brother Li, just think of it as accompanying me on a trip to complete the mission."

"That's fine, I can accompany you to visit the Dragon Horn Clan, but don't mention anything about the He Cui Bracelet again!"

He said this with his mouth, but in his heart he was calculating.

Although it was true that this girl didn't have any malicious intent, it wasn't a good idea to keep accompanying her all the way around.

After this trip was over, a reason needed to be found to leave her, or else there would be six more treasures behind, how long would this be delayed?

"Brother Li, I suddenly thought of a good idea." Xu Pingru said.

"What?"

"I see that spirit pet of yours is quite resourceful, why not let it give it a try?"

Li Mu didn't understand at first, and only after a little thought did she figure out what she meant.

"You want Hope to steal the Wotsui bracelet?"

"Its name is Hope?"

"Well, its name is Hope!" Li Mu turned his head and shouted to Hope, "Come here, Hope!"

Xiao Yuan had been held by Lin Wan, and when she heard her master's call, she immediately scurried over and jumped into his arms in just a few moments.

Fluttering her big eyes, she looked at him obediently.

"Baby, this auntie wants you to steal something for her, do you promise?"

Reimu embraced Hope in his arms and said while sneaking a couple scratches on its belly.

How smart Hope was, she and Li Mu had long had a heart-to-heart and immediately knew how to answer.

"Master, Hope never steals, it's my principle."

"Can't you even go when I order you to?"

"No, no one can order me to go!"

Li Mu apologized to Xu Pingru, "I'm really sorry, my spirit pet has a personality and never does anything like stealing chickens or dogs, so I've let the girl down."

Slightly disappointed, Xu Pingru looked at Xiao Yuan and said, "It is quite principled, Brother Li, where did you get this fox?"

"He's not a fox, he's a chi wolf, authentic divine blood."

"Oh, this little beast is actually a god race?"

"Girl don't judge people by their appearance, Hope wasn't like this before, then some changes happened and that's why she transformed into a wolf."

"And what did it used to look like?"

"It's a woman, a beautiful, pure woman."

Xu Pingru said in surprise, "It is a woman, you like her?"

Little Brother Li replied with a flourish, "I like her, she likes me, even if she turns out to be like this, we still love each other, we're just man-wolf lovers!"

He said, bringing his mouth over to him, and Hope looked up, cooperating with him by making a wave.

Xu Pingru shivered, the numbness unbearable, and urged her horse to run ahead.

Li Mu snorted coldly and cursed in a low voice, "Bitch, no good intentions!"
