637: Chapter 629: One More Partner_2 637: Chapter 629: One More Partner_2 “I’m just a weak woman, how could I cause trouble?
You, a big man, are bullying a little girl.
Aren’t you afraid others will laugh if word gets out?”
Su Xuan ignored her, chuckling, “Nothing that happens here today will get out.
If you don’t believe , you can try screaming; no one will co to save you, even if you scream your throat sore.”
What Su Xuan said was true.
On Mount Everest, human traces were rare, let alone in Gourd Valley, the most dangerous part of Everest, where fierce creatures like leopards and Snow Wolves often road.
“I’ll let you go as long as you don’t obstruct our plans.”
Su Xuan said to Xie Xiangxiang, “Right now, the most important thing is to keep moving.
We’ve already delayed too much ti here.
Once Qiuyue wakes up, we will have to travel frantically.”
Su Xuan now knew he was in Gourd Valley, which wasn’t even the deepest part of Mount Everest.
“Brother Xuan, you’re really kind.”
Xie Xiangxiang smiled seductively.
Seeing Su Xuan coming to untie her, she might have stripped him and taken a good look around if he hadn’t been so preoccupied with his urgent mission.
Su Xuan truly untied her.
Xie Xiangxiang indeed did not attack him but looked at him with heartfelt eyes.
Su Xuan shivered a bit—surely Xie Xiangxiang hadn’t really fallen for him, albeit he was a bit handso.
“Su Xuan, Li Tianming is out to get you.
You must be careful.”
Su Xuan felt uncomfortable all over as Xie Xiangxiang suddenly beca so considerate.
He thought to himself, “You’re telling to be careful, yet aren’t you also sent by him?
It feels like a weasel paying a New Year’s visit to a chicken—no good intentions.”
“You better leave now, I don’t want to see you again,” said Su Xuan decisively.
He let her go because she was a beauty and hadn’t caused him any real harm; after all, Su Xuan was a man who pitied and cherished jade.
“What are you looking for on Mount Everest?
I can help you.”
Su Xuan decided to let Xie Xiangxiang go, but she wanted to stay and help, which sowhat startled him.
“You better go, we don’t need you here.”
“No, I am the Valley Master of Exquisite Feelings Valley in Dali, especially knowledgeable about herbal dicine and poisonous flowers.
You definitely won’t regret bringing along.”
Xie Xiangxiang said confidently.
Given her claim, Su Xuan was sowhat tempted; if Xie Xiangxiang could quickly help them find the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus, it could indeed be a good thing.
“Well…”
Seeing Su Xuan hesitate, Xie Xiangxiang urged, “To have such a beauty like accompanying you, and you’re still picking and choosing—I really don’t understand what you n think.
Alright, it’s settled.
I’ll go pack and set off with you right now.”
Xie Xiangxiang ran off clattering.
Her hair slled fragrant; Su Xuan slled the aroma, which lingered in his body, refreshing and heartwarming.
Watching her graceful back, particularly her round and perky buttocks swaying seductively with every step, Su Xuan licked his lips.
Restraint is necessary in life.
An hour later, Qiuyue drank the dicine Soup Su Xuan had personally prepared and finally woke up, completely recovered.
When she heard that Xie Xiangxiang would also accompany them to find the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus, Qiuyue was utterly against the idea, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand tis over.
“What’s wrong?
She says she can provide guidance to help us quickly find the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus.
That’s a good thing.”
Su Xuan reasoned.
Qiuyue shook her head and solemnly said to Su Xuan, “From a woman’s intuition, she definitely has malicious intentions, and she might endanger your life.”
“Is it really that serious?” Su Xuan, unsure whether to fully trust or doubt a woman’s sixth sense, questioned.
“Just wait and see.
I know her better than you do.”
Qiuyue was packing her luggage while sneaking peeks at the neighboring room, afraid of being overheard.
To wait for Su Xuan, Xie Xiangxiang had decided to stay here temporarily.
These stone houses, whose era of origin was unknown, were where she discovered the poisonous flowers, not where she planted them.
Besides, she had only just arrived and wouldn’t have had so much ti.
Previously being the Valley Master of Exquisite Feelings Valley, she was well-versed in poisonous flowers and thus used them to bewilder Su Xuan in hopes of capturing him, yet Su Xuan saw through her tricks.
Xie Xiangxiang revealed everything about this place to Su Xuan, and once she spoke, Su Xuan broke into cold sweat.
It turned out that the poisonous flowers weren’t planted by Xie Xiangxiang, suggesting either the climate here was particularly suited for these flowers or that soone had intentionally planted these alluring, poisonous blooms.
When the trio left, the poisonous flowers were still growing rampantly.
Thanks to Su Xuan’s special herbal dicine, which he prepared for himself and Qiuyue to ingest, they were now immune to them.
Xie Xiangxiang admired Su Xuan imnsely.
Coming from a family with a lineage in herbal dicine, she had learned herbal knowledge out of familial obligation.
Now, she discovered that Su Xuan’s understanding of those poisonous flowers matched hers.
Could it be that Su Xuan was from so wild plant conservation association?
As they traveled, Qiuyue couldn’t keep her eyes off Xie Xiangxiang, suspecting that her easily pledging allegiance to Su Xuan must be part of so sche.
Could it simply be because Su Xuan was handso?
Qiuyue didn’t believe it, though she did find Su Xuan quite attractive and kind-hearted.
“Everyone hurry up, I’m afraid we won’t find a place to stay when it gets dark.”
Su Xuan continued leading the way while the two won behind him harbored different thoughts.
Originating from an assassin background, Qiuyue was much stronger than Xie Xiangxiang, who only knew how to use poison.
Although Qiuyue had expertise in herbal dicine, in front of Xie Xiangxiang, it was like wielding a broadsword in front of Guan Gong.
Otherwise, Qiuyue wouldn’t have been knocked unconscious before.
“Ah, I can’t walk anymore!”
Xie Xiangxiang found a clean spot and sat down, cooing at Su Xuan.
As a woman herself, Qiuyue was particularly sensitive towards Xie Xiangxiang, scornfully thinking to herself: “Seduction tricks, don’t think I don’t know.”
Indeed, as Qiuyue expected, she soon heard Xie Xiangxiang lazily saying: “Su Xuan, I can’t walk anymore, could you carry ?”
Qiuyue almost vomited upon hearing such a coquettish voice, trembling with anger.
She seriously wanted to slap this shaless woman who was blatantly seducing Su Xuan.
Did Xie Xiangxiang think Qiuyue didn’t exist?
Su Xuan stopped, turned around, and considered the slow pace.
He wondered if he should dismiss Xie Xiangxiang and not let her follow him anymore.
Qiuyue, at least, was physically strong, knew Kung Fu, and could protect herself in crucial monts.
Xie Xiangxiang, apart from her knowledge of dicine and her beauty, truly lacked other rits.
Qiuyue was about thirty years old, while Xie Xiangxiang was only in her early twenties.
She was fully mature, like a ripe apple, which Su Xuan wanted to devour, if only Qiuyue weren’t around.
Watching Xie Xiangxiang’s flirtatious deanor, Qiuyue wasn’t sure if it was jealousy or a conscious effort to guard Su Xuan, but she simply couldn’t stand her.
“Su Xuan, carry ?
My feet are so sore.”
Su Xuan walked over, staring at her, while Xie Xiangxiang, far from cowering, t his gaze with one even more fiery.
Qiuyue was nearly beside herself with anger, determined not to let a spark of romance develop between them.
“Hey, Xie Xiangxiang, if you can’t keep up, maybe you shouldn’t follow us.
You should just obediently go back to the Song Family.
Li Tianming is still waiting for you to report back.”
Qiuyue retorted angrily.
Xie Xiangxiang rolled her eyes, displeased: “That Li Tianming is no good, just a lecher.
When he sent for to co to Mount Everest, he actually had soone deliver a drink laced with sedatives.
Luckily, I saw right through him the first ti we t; his lecherous eyes were all over my chest.
Don’t forget, I am an expert in dicine.
He stands no chance of taking advantage of !”
“If you dislike him so much, why would you co to Mount Everest to help him?”
Qiuyue pressed, with Su Xuan equally curious.
“I have my reasons for being here.
It’s personal.”
Qiuyue said coldly: “If you won’t tell us, then we won’t take you with us, right, Su Xuan?”
Su Xuan gave no reaction, prompting Qiuyue to scoff.
The seasons on Mount Everest shifted rapidly; monts ago, the scenery was lush and verdant, now suddenly it turned into the bleak yellowness of autumn.
