Martial Peak Chapter 671 - Conditions

Every wrong had its justice, every debt its collector, the man who had cheated him had already died so Yang Kai hadn’t really planned on holding these two won accountable. He had just wanted to give them a bit of trouble for the role they had played. On top of that, Yang Kai really did need soone to acquire information from.

Hearing Yang Kai say this, Ji ng was overjoyed and exclaid, “Really?”

Yang Kai nodded, “But I have conditions!”

“What conditions?” Ji ng asked hurriedly, with their lives hanging in the balance, she decided that no matter how excessive this man’s requests were, she would agree to them, as long as Zhu Ying Yue wasn’t hurt.

“Shouldn’t you replay a life-saving grace with your body?” Yang Kai touched his chin and smiled evilly.

Ji ng’s expression suddenly beca cold; although she had been ntally prepared for this, she hadn’t expected this young man to really make such shaless demands!

Although she was infuriated in her heart, she didn’t dare show it on her face, blocking a strike from the Ice Crystal Wolf before shouting out, “It doesn’t matter what happens to , but... don’t get any ideas about Ying Yue!”

“Oh?” Yang Kai stared at her in surprise. He had only said those words in jest and had no real intentions towards these two won, from the conversation they had during this second eting, he could tell that these two weren’t really malicious or treacherous in nature, saving them wasn’t an issue.

“Are you going to help us or not? If you don’t take action soon when we die you won’t be able to get anything!” Ji ng had finally been driven beyond the limits of her forbearance, and so too had the Ice Crystal Wolf apparently, its attacks becoming more and more fierce, to the point where she and Zhu Ying Yue weren’t able to resist at all. If Yang Kai continued to idle any longer, the two of them would definitely be defeated.

“Very well,” Yang Kai shook his head before his figure flickered and disappeared from the sky.

The huge Monster Beast rapidly closed in, it’s fangs fully bared as a foul sll burst from its mouth. Seeing it approach, Zhu Ying Yue scread in terror as tears poured down her face.

But before she knew what was happening, her body suddenly beca light, and in the next mont, she found herself slung over soone’s shoulder and the surrounding scenery quickly receding behind her. Everything happened too quickly and she couldn’t help shutting her eyes in fear.

Ji ng also had a similar encounter. Before she could respond, she too was grabbed by Yang Kai and taken away.

Obviously not having anticipated such a developnt, the Ice Crystal Wolf was temporarily dumbstruck before it roared angrily and hastily chased after the trio, but the distance between them was slowly opening. Seeing this, Ji ng still didn’t feel relieved and constantly urged, “Faster! It’s still trying to catch up!”

Yang Kai coldly snorted in response, “Easy for you to say, this is already my fastest speed.”

Ji ng decisively shut her mouth and simply stared at the Ice Crystal Wolf and only after seeing it slowly fall further and further behind, she couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After a while, the Ice Crystal Wolf finally stopped chasing them, stopping in place and howling towards the sky, its voice filled with unwillingness and anger.

Sowhere in Snow Mountain Range, Yang Kai stood calmly as he stared towards the two raggedly dressed won bustle about.

They seed to have a lot of experience living in this snowy environnt and quickly dug out a subterranean hollow. The interior was spacious while the outside was hardened and sturdy.

A short ti later, a fully ford snow cave appeared.

Ji ng glanced over towards Yang Kai vigilantly and said in a sowhat weak voice, “We have to change our clothes and apply so healing dicine to our wounds. You should not co in until we’re done, if you peek, I’ll dig your eyes out!”

“Hey, you’re already my won now, what’s wrong with taking a peek or two?” Yang Kai teased.

“You...” Ji ng was so angry that the sound of her teeth gnashing was audible, eventually shouting out, “If it’s just I don’t mind, but Ying Yue is off limits!”

Saying so, the two won ducked into the snow cave and soon after, the sound of rustling clothes could be heard. Apparently, they had removed all of their bloodstained robes.

Yang Kai stared blankly and suddenly felt that this woman had actually ant what she had just said.

Was she really willing to offer up her body just like that? Yang Kai’s face went black, thinking to himself that if he got tangled up with her, it would be more trouble than it was worth.

Now he was in a bit of an embarrassing situation, who told him to have such a cheap mouth and propose such conditions? Now it seed he had caught himself in his own trap.

After roughly half an hour, Ji ng’s voice called out, “You can co in now.”

Yang Kai smiled wryly before jumping into the snow cave.

The inside was really quite spacious and was neither chilly nor damp, on the contrary, in the contrast of the outside environnt, this snow cave actually gave off a warm, cosy feeling.

The two won had processed their wounds already and donned clean dresses, allowing Yang Kai to secretly nod.

The first ti he had encountered them, Qi Chao had intentionally blocked his view, so Yang Kai didn’t really notice what they looked like, and during their second eting, the two won were dishevelled and covered in blood so their true appearances were completely masked.

But looking at them now, the taller one had an outstanding figure and an elegant look, while the shorter one had a delicate face and a cute, innocent air about her.

Of course, right now, the taller woman was glaring towards Yang Kai with smouldering anger, seemingly wanting nothing more than to eat his at and drink his blood, her teeth grinding heavily. anwhile, the little girl was currently shrunk behind her Senior Sister, only daring to peek out once in a while, appearing quite weak and helpless.

“Well, for the ti being, hello,” Yang Kai offered this strange greeting before sitting down cross-legged across from them.

“I thought you were so kind of powerful master, but facing that Ice Crystal Wolf all you were capable of was fleeing,” Ji ng said with a sneer.

Before, when she noticed how calm Yang Kai was acting, not showing the slightest fear in front of a Seventh-Order Monster Beast and even having the mind to toy with her, Ji ng had mistakenly thought that this guy was capable of defeating it, so this outco had inevitably disappointed her.

It turns out this young man was just a little bit faster and didn’t actually have the courage to fight with the Ice Crystal Wolf.

“My ability to run away is what saved you,” Yang Kai didn’t care about her little display.

Facing unfamiliar outsiders, especially ones who had tricked him once before, he was not willing to show all of his strength.

A Seventh-Order Monster Beast was equivalent to a Transcendent Realm powerhouse, if he killed it in front of these two won, the full extent of his combat strength would likely be exposed.

Yang Kai was not willing to show them all of his cards until he had a better idea about their identities and dispositions.

“...Fair enough. Thank you for saving us,” Ji ng suddenly relented, her expression quite sincere, gently urging Zhu Ying Yue behind her forward.

Zhu Ying Yue was apparently still in a state of shock and she noticeably trembled upon being pushed forward, but quickly understanding Ji ng’s intentions, she sohow managed to whisper with a blushed face, “Thank you.”

“It was just a slight effort, no need to be too polite,” Yang Kai’s mood beca significantly better upon seeing their frankness.

“In addition, we apologize to you about the previous incident,” Ji ng bit her thin red lips a look of guilt surfacing on her face, “When Qi Chao lied to you, we wanted to remind you, but we didn’t know who you were, what your intentions for entering the Snow Mountain Range were, or what your strength was, so...”

“It’s all in the past, when one goes out, having a heart of vigilance is a necessity,” Yang Kai laughed, “In any case, that guy is dead so this matter should end here.”

Ji ng gently nodded, suddenly discovering that this youth was actually quite easy to speak to and not as cold and ruthless as he had first appeared.

“We are the disciples of Bright Thunder Spirit Religion, my na is Ji ng and she’s Zhu Ying Yue, what about you?” Ji ng introduced herself and then turned to ask Yang Kai.

Yang Kai casually reported his na.

“What Sect do you co from?” Ji ng asked curiously.

“I have no Sect, I’m just a lone wanderer.”

“No Sect?” Ji ng was a little surprised, “Seeing your thods, you don’t seem like soone who isn’t from a great force. You’re not strongest I’ve ever seen, but you’re still quite good.”

Being able to calmly rescue two people from an Ice Crystal Wolf, Ji ng was certain that Qi Chao couldn’t do that if Yang Kai really was a lone cultivator who had never received any teaching or guidance, how could he be so powerful?

“How co you lost your way in the Snow Mountain Range, where were you headed?” Ji ng continued to ask, seemingly wanting to know more about Yang Kai.

“I accidentally entered this place and beca lost, as to where I was headed... I haven’t decided that yet. Do you have any recomndations?” Yang Kai said thoughtlessly.

“En,” Ji ng nodded and explained, “This ten thousand kiloter Snow Mountain Range isn’t considered the territory of any one force, but because there are only two or three large forces nearby, my Bright Thunder Spirit Religion being one of them, it’s almost as if this region belongs to my Spirit Religion. Many disciplines from my Sect enter the Snow Mountain Range to look for opportunities like rare herbs or other valuables. If you don’t have any specific destination, you might as well co with us for the ti being.”

Yang Kai glanced between the two won and imdiately understood that Ji ng’s invitation was not because she had a good impression of him or because she wanted to fulfil their previous agreent, but because they were currently injured and needed soone to help protect them.

“Sure!” Yang Kai nodded.

“Many thanks!” Ji ng’s shoulders relaxed, a bright smile appearing on her face.

Over the next few days, the trio slowly explored their surroundings.

The Snow Mountain Range was vast and stretched in all directions; with the two won being injured, the groups’ speed was naturally not quick. Also, while they walked, the trio would occasionally co across so spirit herbs buried deep beneath the snow which further delayed them.

Yang Kai wasn’t in a hurry though. Having soone lead the way was always much faster than him walking about aimlessly.

After five days of such wandering, the group finally left the more dangerous region of the ​​Snow Mountain Range.

As they were walking, Yang Kai suddenly stopped and turned his eyes towards a spot in the distance, a mont later saying to Ji ng, “There are people who seem to be from your Bright Thunder Spirit Religion over there.”

“Really?” Ji ng was very surprised and also turned towards the direction Yang Kai was looking but was unable to see anything.

“En, their clothes are similar to the ones you were wearing when we first t, pure golden yellow in colour.”

“They’re definitely from my Spirit Religion then,” Ji ng clenched Zhu Ying Yue’s hand, her nerves which had been quite strained these past few days finally relaxing while Zhu Ying Yue also smiled.

Yang Kai’s brow furrowed slightly and asked, “Is it going to be a problem if they find an outsider like in this area of the Snow Mountain Range?”

Ji ng was slightly startled but quickly replied, “It shouldn’t matter. As long as we say you’re together with us there won’t be any problems.”

“That won’t be necessary; perhaps we’ll et again if there’s a chance.” Saying so, Yang Kai turned around and quickly flew off.

Ji ng didn’t even have ti to react before he disappeared into the distance.

“Ah...” Zhu Ying Yue looked towards the spot on the horizon Yang Kai disappeared over and said in a sowhat lost tone, “How could he just leave like that?”

Ji ng’s expression was also sowhat complex as she thought back on the past few days they had been together, suddenly gritting her teeth and grumbling, “That bastard, turns out he was just ssing with this whole ti! Hmph, causing to worry for so long while he secretly laughed at !”

“He was deceiving you, how?”

“He said that he wanted to repay him with my body, and I really thought...” Ji ng blushed bright red, only now realizing Yang Kai had just been joking with her.

If Yang Kai had really had such intentions, how would he have just left so easily?

“He’s a good person,” Zhu Ying Yue smiled mischievously, “Is Senior Sister Ji tempted now? If you chase after him quickly you can still catch up.”

“Stop speaking nonsense!” Ji ng pouted.

However, in her mind, she also felt like Yang Kai wasn’t so bad. After getting along with him for a few days, Ji ng found that he wasn’t really as hateful as he had first appeared to be.
