Chapter 22

anted to scream—You bunch of idiots, she's the one who framed me! The money is mine, it's mine!!But the looks from those around her, even Qin Xiaoxia who grabbed her arm.Tang Jiani's tears came down i...Ning Yuan stood dumbfounded, staring at the tree.

In the midst of beasts, a man leaps and bounds with agile ferocity, resembling a top predator more than any real beast.

The knife in his hand, each strike aimed at a vital point, was executed with cold precision, brutality, and efficiency. It was the epitome of a dismemberer's aesthetic violence.

When everything was over, the ground was littered with blood and animal carcasses. The man suddenly lifted his face, his gaze locking onto Ning Yuan in the tree.

He wasn't wearing his glasses, and blood stained his handsome face. His black eyes, dark as night, reflected the gloomy moonlight.

"Come down." He looked at her, saying it lightly.

The man under the tree was unlike a human, like a deadly weapon honed with countless drops of blood, making one——tremble with fear.

Ning Yuan's entire brain was short-circuited. She subconsciously obeyed and let go, and by the time she realized something was wrong, her whole body had already started to fall.

"Whew!"

The next moment, she thought she was about to split her butt in half, but suddenly someone caught her steady.

The heat from the man steamed up, a blend of vegetation and animal musk, too invasive, assaulting Ning Yuan's every pore and sense of smell.

She froze, stammering: "Th-thank you..."

The man suddenly let go of her, placing her on the ground. He lowered his head to look at her, trembling like a rabbit and with eyes red from crying, staring back at him.

Rong Zhaonan narrowed his long, narrow eyes: "What, are you afraid of me"

Ning Yuancai stood straight, her gaze faltering under his intensity. "I...no."

How can you not be afraid

Although Ming Ming is so skilled, even if he wanted to kill those who bullied him, he could definitely do it without a sound.

So this man remained silent and endured, living in the village for several years, becoming a pushover 'village doctor' who was taken advantage of by everyone.

Why is she so patient She doesn't know.

But she knew that those who were capable and patient in this world surely had great ambitions, and they were probably very frightening.

"Why are you shaking" he asked softly, looking down at her.

Ning Yuan chuckled dryly: "I was scared, after all... I almost died."

She only followed him up the mountain and didn't see what he was going to do, let alone see that he had hidden any secrets. Please forgive her!

He stared at her with a bloodthirsty expression, looking like he was ready to kill her and dispose of the body. Who wouldn't be afraid

Rongnan Zhao raised an eyebrow, and suddenly slowly reached out to caress her fair neck: "Hmm, you almost died."

Ning Yuan felt for a moment like she was being choked by a wild beast, and almost wanted to recoil from him and run away. Thankfully, her reason stopped her legs.

The next moment, Rong Zhaonan had a green, slender snake in his hand. He raised an eyebrow: “Can’t you see it”

Ning Yuan and the green snake stared at each other, their noses touching. The snake's forked tongue flicked over her face.

Her nerves, which had been tightly strung for several hours, finally snapped.

Ning Yuan's eyes rolled back, and she fainted backward: "Ah——!!!"

Rong Zhaonan looked at the girl who had fainted from nerves, and caught her body as she fell.

With such little skill, you still want to track him

He's not afraid of being eaten, skin, flesh, and bones.

Rong Zhaonan narrowed his eyes, picked Ning Yuan up, and walked towards the mountainside.oar, this is a whole litter, with four or five more pairs of eyes glowing menacingly, sharp tusks bared!Ning Yuan's legs went soft, and she slowly retreated.Looking into the eyes of the leading wild b...
