"Yiyi, what are you doing? Let go of me right now!" Chen Xuan said coldly, his face stern.

"I just won't let go, I'll hold onto you like this!"

Xiao Yiyi still had a mischievous smile, "Cousin-in-law, I can feel your heartbeat quickening, it means you're not indifferent to me."

"You're just pretending to be calm, you can't fool me!"

Chen Xuan coldly said, "Yiyi, do you know what you're doing? If you keep messing around, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

Noticing Chen Xuan was truly angry, Xiao Yiyi hurriedly let go of him, her face showing grievance as she said, "Why are you being so mean to me? I'm also sincerely affectionate towards you!"

"You can be with Teacher Su, so why can't I?"

Chen Xuan was extremely annoyed, "Is that the same? You're Wanxi's cousin, do you understand?!"

"A cousin is not a real sister! Besides, aren't you already separated?" Xiao Yiyi retorted.

"Who told you we're separated? We haven't even processed the divorce yet!"

Chen Xuan kept a stern face, refusing to look at her, "Furthermore, even if I were truly separated from your cousin, I wouldn't choose you!"

"Put on your clothes and go back to sleep! Don't make me angry!"

Humph!

Xiao Yiyi hummed lightly, grabbed her clothes, and quickly ran away, hiding in the tent and crying softly.

Those words from Chen Xuan had emotionally affected her.

Chen Xuan lit a cigarette, trying to calm his emotions.

Returning to the front of the tent, he sat down cross-legged.

Hearing Xiao Yiyi's sobbing, he shook his head helplessly, "Yiyi, you're not a child anymore, you can't keep being so capricious."

"You just don't like me, think I'm inferior to my cousin and Teacher Su, right?" Xiao Yiyi wiped her tears, filled with grievance.

Chen Xuan sighed lightly, "You are you, they are them, how can it be the same? What is there to compare?"

"I always see you as a younger sister, I don't mind your playful jokes, but you can't take it seriously! I treat you as a sister, can I hurt you? Would that still make me human?!"

Xiao Yiyi immediately stopped crying, "So, you mean you're seeing me as a sister and can't get over it?"

Chen Xuan didn't know how to explain to her, "That's part of the reason, and it also has to do with your cousin."

"Moreover, there's the most important point: we don't have any foundation of romantic feelings, only familial ties, understand?"

Xiao Yiyi didn't reply any further, taking a long time to finally say, "I get it, I'm sorry cousin-in-law, I was just impulsive earlier."

Chen Xuan shook his head with a laugh, "It's alright, I also take it as you trying to mess with me, but Yiyi, you need to know your limits."

"Cousin-in-law isn't a perfect gentleman, nor can I truly remain unmoved. If I lose control... in the end, both of us would be condemned by our consciences."

Xiao Yiyi continuously pouted, muttering softly, "No matter what, you're just a coward! You've got the intentions but not the guts!"

For god's sake...

Chen Xuan felt another wave of frustration, feeling like his previous efforts to explain were in vain, as she still didn't understand his thoughts and concerns.

Forget it, he lazily decided not to further explain to her, letting her think whatever she wants.

Anyway, it's for her own good, to prevent her from getting carried away and making an irreversible mistake.

...

After daybreak, the two set off again to search for the Life-restoring Grass.

They had already entered the deep mountains, completely isolated in the primitive forest.

Hardly anyone ever visited such a place.

"Cousin-in-law, where exactly is the Life-restoring Grass?" Xiao Yiyi wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Chen Xuan sighed helplessly, "It requires patient searching!"

...

Another day passed, and at night they found a place to camp.

Meanwhile, Scorpion's team of assassins had secretly arrived in Ganjiang City.

"Boss, we are here!"

Black Fox led a group of fourteen professional assassins to meet with Scorpion.

Scorpion nodded with a smile, "Very good! Brothers, our jungle warfare is about to start!"

"Follow me into the mountains to hunt that Young Hall Master! This will become the most glorious achievement of our careers!"

Upon learning that Chen Xuan was accompanied only by a regular woman, everyone became bloodthirsty and excited.

Quickly armed, with plenty of ammunition.

"Let's go, enter the mountain immediately! Begin the revenge hunting operation!"

Scorpion waved his hand, leading the assassin team into Gannan Mountain, searching for the whereabouts of Chen Xuan and Xiao Yiyi.

A jungle hunting battle was about to unfold...
