Before leaving, he playfully kissed Shu Yao on her smooth cheek and even said, "This is a father - son kiss."
Before Shu Yao could react, the figure had disappeared in a flash.
All that was left echoing in the room was the sound of someone grinding their teeth: "Shu, Yue!"
Although they lived on the mountain, it was really difficult to hunt for prey.
He went early on purpose, leaving more time for the hunt to avoid getting back after dark and worrying Shu Yao.
However, when he was only halfway there, passing by an iron fence, he suddenly heard someone shouting "Help!"
Among the sounds were the tearing of clothes, some lewd noises, and a woman's heart - rending cries.
He tightened his grip on the arrow in his hand and without hesitation strode quickly in the direction of the sound.
The cries for help grew louder as he got closer, and the shrill screams irritated Shu Yue.
He peeked over and saw that on a meadow outside the iron fence, three burly men were jointly harassing a young woman.
The young woman's clothes were torn and hung messily on her body, half of her shoulders were exposed, her hair was in disarray, and her limbs were constantly struggling and kicking. But she was slapped hard by a burly man, yet she still resisted desperately.
There were tears on her face. While resisting the weight pressing on her, she showed a panicked and desperate look at the wandering hands.
The sudden collapse of a burly man stopped this tragedy in time.
The other two burly men turned around at the same time, but were caught off guard by the darts. There was a silver dart stuck in each of their hands, and the blood slowly dripped down their backs of hands.
While they howled, they glared at the man in black approaching with fierce looks in their eyes.
The man was dressed in a black silk - veiled robe with a domineering outer black gown. The tight inner and loose outer clothing perfectly showed off his strong body. His eyebrows slanted into his temples, giving an invisible sense of sharpness. His eyes were like cold stars, cold and deep like an inky pool that would never clear.
He was valiant and walked lightly without a sound. As he walked, the rustling of the trees and grass beside him could be heard.
Perhaps because his face was so expressionless, he exuded an inviolable coldness and imposing manner.
His eyebrows were haughty, like a king looking down on the three burly men from above.
Although the two burly men were tall and strong, they felt extremely oppressed and almost suffocated in front of this man. They couldn't help but be amazed at his superb light - body technique.
"Who the hell are you? How dare you ruin our good deed?" One of the reckless men shouted and suddenly pulled out the dart from the back of his hand.
Although this man's aura was very powerful, it made him feel very uncomfortable.
"Who I am is none of your business. But it's really shameless of you to bully a weak woman in broad daylight."
"Shut your mouth!" The burly man swung his fist, but before he could get close, he was kicked to the ground by a foot, and then a sharp arrow was shot straight at him.
The arrow was so fast that he had no time to dodge.
He closed his eyes in fear but didn't feel the expected pain.
Shaking all over, he opened his eyes. The arrow had hit the corner of his clothes exactly.
It was only a few millimeters away from piercing his skin.
Shu Yue laughed arrogantly. His narrow eyes were full of mockery. He walked up to the burly man who had wet his pants in fear and sneered, "Just one arrow scared you so much that you wet your pants. How dare you challenge me with such a timid heart?"
He suddenly stood up and gave a disdainful cold look. "Get out of here before I change my mind."
After making such a big fool of himself, the burly man naturally didn't have the face to challenge him anymore, so he had to flee in embarrassment with his companion.
"Stupid things." Shu Yue sneered, then turned to look at the woman behind him.
Her long black hair was messily scattered on her shoulders. The only tasseled hairpin was slantingly inserted in her bun. She lifted an oval - shaped face from the scattered hair. Her eyebrows were beautiful, her nose was delicate, and her lips were like cherries. Her eyes were filled with tears, looking extremely charming and pitiful.
"Thank you, sir, for saving me." Her soft voice sounded. With that shy lowering of her eyebrows, she added a bit more of the beauty of a pear tree in the rain.
She tightly covered her torn clothes with her slender hands, her eyes were lowered, and there were still tears on her face.
Shu Yue silently took off his outer black gown, reached around the woman, and draped it over her. The large gown covered her exposed skin.
"May I ask your name, miss?"
"My name is Liuli. Thank you, benefactor." She leaned forward slightly, burying her charming face deeply.
"Don't call me benefactor. It's what I should do. Just call me Shu Yue."
He carefully helped Liuli up, but Liuli seemed unsteady on her feet and tilted into his arms.
"What's wrong with you? Are you okay?" He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. This was the first time he had been this close to a woman other than when he held Shu Yao.
However, he wasn't the only one who felt awkward. Liuli, who had fallen into the man's arms, blushed and quickly avoided Shu Yue.
Somehow, this broad and warm embrace made her heart flutter slightly.
"Are you feeling unwell?" he asked with concern again. He saw Liuli just shaking her head slightly, her eyebrows tightly knitted, as if she was enduring some pain.
"Then you..." Before he could finish his sentence, he was stunned by the white dress stained with blood.
The wound was on her knee. Looking up again, there were fine beads of cold sweat on Liuli's forehead.
"You're injured?" Out of concern, he carefully lifted Liuli's skirt to her knee. A shocking wound came into view.
This wound didn't look like an ordinary one. It was almost festered, the skin was red and swollen, and it was extremely terrifying.
"It's so serious. What should we do?"
"Sir, you don't need to worry about me. I can handle it myself."
"How can you? You're so injured. What if you meet bad guys again in this deep mountain?" He looked around and after some hesitation, he made a decision. "My tree - house is not far from here. I have a first - aid kit there. I can treat your wound."
Liuli quickly refused after hearing this. "No, I can't trouble you anymore, sir."
Although it was a kind offer, it would be very inconvenient for a girl like her to go to a strange man's house.
If others saw it, she wouldn't be able to defend herself.
"What, are you afraid I'll eat you?" There was a smile in Shu Yue's eyes, along with a bright soft light. "You don't have to worry. I'm not the kind of person who takes advantage of others in a difficult situation."
"I don't mean that. I just think it will be very troublesome."
"I don't mind the trouble." He helped Liuli up and saw that she was reluctant to move forward. "It seems you can't walk like this."
Liuli lowered her head, her fingers tightly twisting. She didn't look at this tall and handsome man.
Because his eyes were so beautiful, like a bright galaxy. If she wasn't careful, she would be deeply attracted.
"Okay, I'll carry you on my back." He sighed and decisively carried Liuli on his back. She was so light that she was like a feather.
"Sir, this is not appropriate." Liuli pushed and struggled on his back, her cherry - like lips slightly parted in surprise. She always thought this was very improper.
