"It hurts…" Zhu Wenqian said pitifully when Yang Wei touched her leg slightly.
Although her thighs were currently exposed to Yang Wei, she didn't have the time to process what's going on. Her concern had been fully distracted by the pain in her leg.
"If you keep wiggling around then I guarantee you that the pain would be more intense." Yang Wei warned.
Instantly, Zhu Wenqian stopped complaining and held a teary expression, almost like a little girl being wronged.
"Hurry up… it's painful," Zhu Wenqian muttered in a low tone.
Yang Wei nodded his head.
He placed his hand slowly on her legs and located the spot where the joints of the bones are together.
"Zhu Wenqian, your nipples are exposed." Yang Wei suddenly said.
"What?!" Zhu Wenqian became alerted as she quickly covered her chest area.
Yang Wei grinned evilly as he twisted the joints when Zhu Wenqian was distracted on whether or not her chest was exposed.
"AHHHH"
Zhu Wenqian screamed in pain when Yang Wei twisted her joints. Her expression soon changed when the pain vanished and her legs no longer hurt.
"M-My chest wasn't exposed…" Zhu Wenqian mumbled as she glared angrily at Yang Wei.
"Why did you spout such nonsense?" Zhu Wenqian asked.
"Distraction-- something that you had failed during the fight we did." Yang Wei chuckled as he teased her.
Zhu Wenqian's face flushed in redness when she realized Yang Wei had duped her once again.
"Do you always lie to women?" Zhu Wenqian scoffed. "You are too natural in lying and I bet many women must have fallen for your devious trick."
Yang Wei twitched his mouth.
He wasn't a creep nor a lustful man that only thinks with his lower part when seeing a new woman. He was a gentleman yet Zhu Wenqian had time and time again called him a playboy or imply he was one.
"Besides that time when I acted as a pitiful man to trick you, I have never really fooled you." Yang Wei said, proclaiming his innocence.
"Hmph, save your sugary words for other people." Zhu Wenqian sneered as she laid down. "I'm going to sleep now since a vile man was so violent to dislocated a lady's leg."
Yang Wei tried to open his mouth to defend his action but Zhu Wenqian halted him.
She had her hand raised up and shouted, "Talk to the hand."
Yang Wei sighed softly as he shook his head.
"Whatever, just remember that I only reacted violently because you were aiming at a dangerous place." Yang Wei shrugged.
Afterward, Yang Wei stepped away from Zhu Wenqian and began cultivating again.
The cave had turned silent with Zhu Wenqian going to slumber and Yang Wei cultivating.
While it was peaceful inside the cave, outside the Misty Forest was anything but calm.
"Hmph, tell me where Tang Xin is." Elder Chen Xue shouted as his hand grasped tightly on a bandit's neck.
The bandit scoffed as he spit some of his saliva out toward Elder Chen Xue's face.
Elder Chen Xue's face darkened as he increased his strength, cracking the bandit's neck as he died a painful death.
Elder Chen Xue then flung the bandit away as he glared at the other bandits being tied up in a rope.
Elder Chen Xue and the other disciples had already managed to infiltrate into the bandits' hideout and captured all of them.
However, Tang Xin was nowhere to be found and Elder Chen Xue's anxiousness continued to increase.
"Did any one of the bandits expose the whereabouts of Tang Xin?" Elder Chen Xue asked the disciples in a cold tone.
The disciples all shook their heads in unison.
"The bandits are extremely tight on their lips, Elder Chen Xue." One of the disciples said as he cupped his fist.
"They are extremely stubborn and some are even laughing evilly about us." Another disciple said as he stabbed a sword toward the laughing bandit.
Elder Chen Xue's expression darkened as he flung his sleeve and grabbed another bandit.
"You seem very frightened compared to the others." Elder Chen Xue said menacingly as he picked up a nervous bandit.
"What's your name?" Elder Chen Xue asked nicely.
The bandit swallowed some of his saliva nervously as he opened his mouth.
"I-I am M-Mao Shandong…" Mao Shandong said.
Elder Chen Xue nodded his head. "Mao Shandong huh, a good name indeed."
Elder Chen Xue then released his grasp and Mao Shandong plopped to the ground with a terrified expression.
Elder Chen Xue smiled gently as he stared at Mao Shandong. "Tell me Mao Shandong… tell me the whereabouts of Tang Xin and I shall spare your life."
'Heh, a cowardly man like you sweating like a pig is perfect.' Elder Chen Xue exclaimed inwardly as he had noticed the unusualness of Mao Shandong.
Unlike the rest of the bandits who didn't seem to be afraid of death, Mao Shandong had been sweating profusely for a long time.
To put the cherry on the topping, Mao Shandong also held a worrisome look. It was almost like he was afraid of something worse than death.
This was the kind of person Elder Chen Xue loved the most. Not only could he manipulate their mindset, but he could also get them to reveal every secret to him.
Mao Shandong held a reluctant expression as he lowered his head. "N-No… sparing my life isn't enough."
Elder Chen Xue raised an eyebrow. 'This isn't going the way I expected…'
With a gentle tone, Elder Chen Xue asked, "Then what else do you want? As long as it's within my power, I shall help you out."
Mao Shandong's eyes lit up as he lifted his head up. "Then please, tell me where my beauty went? She had disappeared on my watch when I went to cook her a delicious meal."
Elder Chen Xue twitched his mouth.
It wasn't just Elder Chen Xue alone, because the other bandits also held a murderous gaze at Mao Shandong for uttering nonsense.
Mao Shandong was going to expose and cause their hard work to collapse for a woman.
