In the pine forest, inside the pavilion, Su Yanyu anxiously rubbed her small hands and bit her lip as she looked at the tall snow-covered pines surrounding her.
Between the pine trees, there were wisps of snow like a lingering mist. Under the shining sun, it appeared like a halo of spiritual energy, floating in mid-air in clusters with a dreamlike, delicate beauty.
But Su Yanyu was not in the mood to appreciate it right now.
Although she was now a junior disciple of **Sword Wine Peak**, she had originally practiced at **Middle Peak**. However, an elder said that her character was too weak and transferred her to **Sword Wine Peak** to toughen up by training with the brothers and sisters here.
However, who would have thought that just a few days after arriving at **Sword Wine Peak**, she would encounter such an incident?A group of masked men suddenly broke into her residence this morning, knocked her unconscious, and brought her here, threatening her, "If you want to survive, wait for the person named "Feng Yu" to arrive and pounce on him."
While threatening her, those people also attached some low-level thunder talismans to her.
The most important thing was that she heard the gangsters say that the reason they kidnapped her was just because her house looked pleasing to the eye. In other words, they just found a random person to be used as cannon fodder.
Obviously, there were dozens of houses there, so why did it have to be her?!
"Woo..."
Su Yanyu wiped her tears and looked around the pavilion again.
The forest was deep and silent.At this moment, it was eerily quiet, and it felt like something was permeating the air, making it difficult for her to breathe.
She was on the verge of a breakdown.
"Wuuu... Brother Yihe, didn't you say you would protect me? Didn't you say you would marry me in the future? Where are you?! Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."
---Five days ago, Zhang Yihe from the **Night Tide Peak** confessed to her and made a promise to marry her after he reached the *Core Formation* stage. They also agreed to go shopping for beautiful clothes and accessories later...
*Tap tap---*
At this moment, the sound of footsteps on snow came from behind Su Yanyu.
She shivered and immediately turned around to look.
Feng Yu Die leaned against a tree with one hand and then walked out of the pine forest toward her with a smile on her face. She even took the initiative to greet her. "You must be Junior Sister Su, right? What do you need me for?"
Seeing Feng Yu Die approaching without any caution, Su Yanyu turned pale with fear and hastily took a few steps back.
---If Feng Yu Die walked within five feet from her, the gangsters hiding in the woods would immediately activate the thunder talismans on her body.
---If she said something she shouldn't say, it would also trigger the thunder talismans.
"Ah...wuwuwu...ahwuwu---"
Su Yanyu anxiously let out a puppy-like warning sound. Her eyes widened, and she glared at Feng Yu Die desperately. However, even though he saw her like this, Feng Yu Die didn't seem to care at all.
"Hey, Sister Su, why are you retreating? Come closer."
"Wu←→wu←→"
"It's okay. If you don't come over, I will."
Feng Yu Die smiled faintly, her right hand, hidden in her sleeve, formed the sword fingers, and she bent down, rushing toward Su Yanyu.
Seeing this, Su Yanyu finally couldn't help it anymore and yelled. "Are you stupid?! Don't come over -- aaah!!"
*Boom---*
A dazzling burst of lightning instantly erupted from one side of the pavilion, swallowing Feng Yu Die and Su Yanyu.
At the same time, four black shadows rushed out from the pine forest, surrounding the ball of lightning in the center of the pavilion.
"Be careful, this man is extremely powerful. It might not be easy to kill him in one hit. When the spiritual thunder dissipates, don't hesitate. If anyone is still standing, attack directly without leaving room for escape."
As the order was given, the four of them lowered their stances and readied their swords, staring at the dazzling lightning ball in front of them.
One breath---
Two breaths---
"Attack!!"
At the command, the four people immediately gathered momentum and rushed to where Feng Yu Die and Su Yanyu were, as soon as the spiritual thunder spell dissipated.
However---
*Ding---*
Sparks flew!
The four swords coming from four directions converged into a single point, which should have been Feng Yu Die's chest. However, it was only their swords that collided with each other in the center.
"What?"
Just as they wondered why Su Yanyu and Feng Yu Die suddenly disappeared, a voice was heard from behind one of them.
---"Hehe... Looking for me?"
The man widened his eyes and swung his sword behind him with a twist.
But as he was halfway through swinging the sword, Feng Yu Die moved her hand and pressed the man's wrist with her index and middle finger. His right hand, which was tightly gripping the hilt of the sword, opened involuntarily as if it had been electrocuted.
"Lend me your sword, will you?"
Feng Yu Die retrieved with her left hand the sword that he dropped and followed the momentum of his swing to complete the circle.
*Swish---*
Golden spiritual energy surrounded her body, extending over the sword and suddenly spreading outward and sweeping across the neck of the man whose sword had been taken away.
When the other three saw this, they immediately jumped up to avoid the energy sword wielded by Feng Yu Die.
Below them, Feng Yu Die watched them jump and raised her right hand hidden in her sleeve, forming the sword fingers.
*Swoosh---*
A spiritual sword shot out from the pine forest behind the three people in mid-air, and just like a boomerang, it swept through their necks from left to right.
"Retract!"
Feng Yu Die flipped her palm, and the sword that was spinning in the air instantly stopped, aimed its tip at the ground, and plunged into it without moving.
"Jumping up, aren't you seeking death? Tsk... Heh---"
Feng Yu Die walked over, pulled out her sword, put it back into her storage bag, and then looked at the four bodies, now separated from their heads. She picked up their storage bags one by one and looked inside them. She frowned as if she was very dissatisfied. "...So poor."
She sighed and put the contents from the four storage bags into her own bag. Then, she walked to a nearby snow-covered pine tree.
Su Yanyu, who was left with just her undergarment on her body, seemed to still be in a daze, with a vacant expression.
Only after Feng Yu Die walked up to her did she suddenly come back to her senses and hastily covered her chest and abdomen, shrinking her body. Blushing, she said, "Ah...thank you, Master Feng..."
"If you want to thank me, give me some spirit stones~~"
"Ah... I... um." Su Yanyu shyly nodded and asked, "Master Feng, do you have any clothes or something? I am a bit cold like this..."
"I do! How about five hundred spirit stones? My old clothes are quite nice."
"Ah? Five hundred..." Su Yanyu was completely confused and nodded without even thinking. "Um, okay."
Seeing her nod, Feng Yu Die grinned, took out a neatly folded dress from her storage bag, and gave it to Su Yanyu.
?
---My old clothes.
Su Yanyu looked at the dress in her hands, then at Feng Yu Die. Ignoring his cross-dressing fetish, she quickly grabbed the clothes and ran into the forest to find a place to change.
